Mrs. Du was very irritable today. So many things happened one after another on her big day. She even wondered if the village elder who showed her the wedding date was deliberately trying to harm her. At this time, she discovered that the Yang family did not need a betrothal gift to enter the house, but
All her things were deceived, even if the person was her sister-in-law next door, she was filled with anger.
At that time, I rushed over to him, pointing my finger in his face, "You have no conscience, you are a wolf-hearted person, you can still touch your own family's things."
The other side started arguing, "Didn't your wife come in? What's wrong with the Yang family? Who wouldn't praise her for her hard work when she comes in and takes care of the house? As a matchmaker, shouldn't I accept a thank you gift?"
Chu Yunli ignored it, and the dog bit the dog. She and Feng An helped the person onto the bullock cart, and said loudly, "Please help my mother to bear witness. We will confiscate the betrothal gift. We will come back to pick up the things you brought.
We have nothing to do to the Du family, and we have a clear conscience! What I want to say now is that this marriage will be canceled from today on."
After saying that, he urged Feng An to leave.
"Don't leave, give me back my bracelet." Wu chased after her.
Chu Yunli sneered, "That's the compensation your Du family gave to my mother. If you want a bracelet, give me silver in exchange."
After saying that, he ignored it, took the whip from Feng An's hand, and whipped it hard on the cow's butt.
Wu quickly got out of the way, looking quite embarrassed.
The oxcart was much faster than the people, and it soon arrived at the door of the house. Chu Yunli and Feng An got the people in. When the neighbor He Yang saw them at the door, they were surprised and said, "What's wrong with your mother?"
Chu Yunli said casually, "I fell down and got injured. It's not serious, just take care of it and you'll be fine."
Madam He Yang was full of curiosity and asked, "Then why did you take her back to raise her? Didn't the Du family have a happy day today? Why is your mother back?"
Feng An helped the person in. Chu Yunli turned around, closed the door, and shut out He Yang's curious face.
After settling the people, Feng An went to the kitchen to make medicine. Chu Yunli helped her find something to put on the mat, and quickly cleaned the room. This room had not been occupied for a long time and was a little cold. "I asked Feng An to give it to me."
Just light a brazier, keep it well, and don’t think too much about it.”
"Da Ya, I..." Ms. Yang lowered her head and clutched the quilt, "I feel ashamed to see people. Don't take that medicine anymore."
Chu Yunli paused, looked at her suspiciously for a while, and suddenly asked, "You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
"What are you doing with your life?" Yang said in a low tone, "Aside from embarrassing your father, embarrassing you, and making others laugh, what's the use?"
Chu Yunli looked serious, "If you want to die when I bring you back, it would be better to leave you half-dead in the Du family. You are not even afraid of death, but you are also afraid of the comments and eyes of outsiders?"
Yang was thoughtful. At this moment, Feng An knocked on the door with a bowl of medicine. Chu Yunli took it in and handed it to Yang, "Drink it. Don't say anything else. I'm recruiting a wife now, but in the future."
Don’t you want to see the child’s surname He?”
Hearing this, Yang's eyes lit up, she stretched out her hand to take the bowl steadily, smelling the bitter medicine, she drank it in one gulp, "I think. In this way, I can be considered worthy of your father."
Chu Yunli really didn't know what to say. Yang was afraid that she would be sorry for this or that, but in the end, she and her daughter would be the only ones to be sorry.
But now that she has energy, she feels slightly relieved.
Mrs. Yang came back to take care of herself. Chu Yunli and Feng An made medicine for her every day and bought meat and eggs for her to eat. After a few days, Mrs. Yang herself was willing to go out and bask in the sun.
Walking in the yard, the green vegetables in the front yard are green and there are no weeds. There are also some wild grasses and wild vegetables planted in the backyard. The front and back yards of the house are clean. No one urges her to work, and no one will
She made excuses to curse while eating. The peaceful days she had these past few days were something she had never experienced before.
No, before He Dachuan died, she was not that busy. No one scolded her. He would try his best to accommodate her when he came back from work. Even if she gave birth to a daughter, he never disliked her and the child.
But it felt so long ago, it seemed like it was a lifetime ago.
Since when did she feel that working was a matter of course?
She was in a daze for a moment, and thinking about it carefully, it seemed that... her mother-in-law's sister-in-law came and said that if a woman has no man in her family, she will be bullied, and her reputation will be bad, which will hinder the marriage of the daughter of the Yang family. What else?
By the way, he also said that Du Mancang can love people. His former wife said that she didn't want to live in this life. Even if he was reluctant, he was willing to let her go. Such a man would pamper his wife very well...
Du Mancang was good to her in bed. When his mother scolded her, as a son, he couldn't refute, so he could only persuade her in a low voice. He tried his best, but Mrs. Du's domineering temperament made Old Man Du uncomfortable.
It's useless to persuade him, so what's the use of him trying to persuade me?
Yang stood in the yard and soaked in the sunshine. She seemed to be thinking a lot, but she seemed to be thinking about nothing. If she had to choose, of course her life would be better now.
She knew that Daya was a little annoying to her, but he respected her enough. Although Feng An was distant from her, he respected her as an elder. She seemed to have suddenly gone from the bottom of the Du family to her current status in the family.
The one who is most respected by the family is like Mrs. Du in the Du family.
There was a knock on the door outside the yard. Yang looked around and saw that they were not here today. It was said that they were pulling weeds together. She walked to the door and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"
"Second sister, it's me. I have something to tell you." Standing outside the door was her natal sister-in-law, Du Shi.
Yang opened the door, but did not let her in, "Sister-in-law, can you tell me why I have never heard of the betrothal gift given by the Du family from beginning to end?"
She had just given birth and had not yet been nursed back. Her face was pale and her cheeks were thin, but her eyes when looking at Du Shi were surprisingly bright and somewhat aggressive.
In the past, she could comfort herself that her natal sister-in-law persuaded her to remarry because she wanted her to rely on her. But now the betrothal gift happened. She is not stupid herself. It looks like the Du family and her sister-in-law want to make money.
This money allowed her to remarry.
At best, he asked her to remarry, but at worst, he sold her and took her daughter with him to work as a cow or horse. No wonder the Du family didn't show any politeness to the two of them.
Every time she thought like this, she felt guilty and panicked. She really didn't dare to die because she really didn't know how to explain it to He Dachuan.
"I don't know about this either. My mother took it and I didn't go back very often. She forgot about it." She took out a purse and said, "Didn't I bring this to you?" she pointed again.
Pointing to the two paper packages at his feet, "I even bought new snacks, specially sent to you."
Yang glanced at it and said, "I don't want it. I confiscated it at the beginning, and now that I have left the Du family, I won't accept it anymore."
Du Shi smiled and teased, "You can't say that. The Du family asked my mother to take the lead and want you to go back."
"I won't go back." Yang said calmly.
Du Shi looked puzzled and reprimanded, "Second sister, this is your fault. How could you not come back? Brother Mancang is still nice to you. Life is a matter of two people. The old man will always leave. There is no need for these things."
