Now that she is pregnant, the marriage can no longer be delayed.
Liu Shao had no special requirements for the betrothal gift. He only said, "It doesn't have to be too good, just average."
Although the Liu family sent someone here, they didn't come to the door during this period. They also didn't look for Lu Chengfu, as if they didn't have this son.
It stands to reason that since they send someone to your doorstep, they have something to ask for.
After Lu Chengfu was overjoyed, his mind became clearer and he asked, "How is your relationship with your family?"
Liu Shao coughed lightly and said, "I have spent a lot of money on health care since I was a child. It was fine before, but then my sister-in-law came in and complained more than once that I spent too much on medicine. Later, my eldest brother brought me
I went to the street and pushed me down in front of Wan Niang's horse."
Rather than asking for benefits from the Lu family, it is better to say that the Liu family wants the Lu family to help them take care of their patients.
For the Liu family, the cost of taking Liu Shao's medicine was too high and they couldn't afford it. After he was sent to the Lu family, they were afraid that if they asked them for money to buy medicine, who would come to their doorstep?
Lu Chengfu pondered for a moment, "Then I'll find someone to propose marriage and discuss the betrothal gift and dowry."
People who want to save face will not ask about betrothal gifts and dowries. Lu Chengfu is like this because he does not want the Liu family to take advantage of him. When he met Chu Yunli's gaze, he said seriously, "I have to save money for my grandson."
Chu Yunli: "..." Okay, as long as you are happy.
Lu Chengfu is a very shrewd businessman. In the early days, after the Fang family and the Lu family became in-laws, the Lu family would ask the Fang family to purchase goods. Although the Fang family also benefited, they still had to work hard. In a word: the Lu family did not give anything for free.
But just giving a supply of goods to the Fang family has allowed them to make a lot of money in the past few years.
The Liu family never expected that the Lu family would actually come to propose marriage to their sick young boy. It was just a marriage proposal, but they wanted to get married as soon as possible. Moreover, their two families had already had a child when Liu Shao moved to the Lu family.
Certainly!
Their family has never thought about asking for status, this is like pie in the sky.
The Liu family obviously just sent their son to serve the girl of the Lu family. The Lu family was satisfied without asking for money for the medicine. They just waited to collect the body when their son died. Unexpectedly, Liu Shao had such ability. After being happy, he
Hearing Po Xi tentatively ask about the dowry, she said that the Lu family's betrothal gift would be based on the dowry.
In other words, no matter how much the Liu family purchases, the Lu family will not let them suffer.
The marriage between the Lu and Liu families spread very quickly, and everyone was in a daze after hearing about it.
What did Lu Chengfu think?
If he finds a sick son for his daughter, will he not want a grandson?
After hearing this, the Fang family was in a very complicated mood. Who knew that Lu Wanniang really liked that sick young child, and Lu Chengfu was really willing to comply with his daughter's wishes. Seeing that this happy event can be done, they will get married next month. Who knows, but also
I thought I was pregnant.
Fang Yuanlie had long known in his heart that there was a possibility that the marriage would be irretrievable, but he felt uncomfortable thinking that his woman was about to marry someone else. He thought bitterly: With Liu Shao's thin appearance, it would be almost like leaving Lu Wanniang a widow after entering the house.
Thinking about it this way, I feel more and more likely that this is possible.
If they weren't anxious to let Liu Shao enter before he died, what would the Lu family be so anxious about?
Therefore, when Fang Yuanlie stood in front of the carriage again, Chu Yunli was a little surprised. Every time he came, he would be beaten, as if he was not afraid of being beaten.
"Wan Niang, I have something to say. You can't marry Liu Shao, a sick man, just to erase my identity. He won't live long and is not worthy of you at all. You can't ruin yourself casually."
Liu Shao was sitting opposite, playing with Chu Yunli's fingers, and froze when he heard this.
Chu Yunli opened the curtain and said, "You are thinking too much. I will marry him because I am happy with him. It is not what you think. In my eyes, he is much better than you." After saying this, he gave the order.
Guard, "Kick him away!"
After she became pregnant, Lu Chengfu doubled the number of guards who usually escorted her, and the carriage was also rearranged to be extremely soft.
Listening to the shouts of sticks being thrown outside and Fang Yuanlie's screams from time to time, Liu Shao was satisfied, continued to play with his fingers, and said with a smile, "Wan Niang, I will try my best to stay alive."
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly, "When you came in in the pink sedan chair, you weren't as serious as the doctor said..."
Liu Shao kissed the back of her hand, "If I wasn't dying, how could my father-in-law let me in?"
Before he came, he probably drank medicine to make it look like he wouldn't live for a few days, and he made it so pitiful that Lu Chengfu didn't make things difficult for him.
In fact, if it hadn't been for Chu Yunli, Liu Shao wouldn't have had a good life for two years. His health was indeed very poor, but he was not in a state of imminent death.
Now, apart from looking weak, he is actually quite different from before.
Half a month later, the Lu family was overjoyed.
Many people came to congratulate her, and the front and back yards were very lively. Lu Chengfu was very happy, just as happy as Lu Wanniang was when she got married for the first time. In the eyes of everyone, they were a little puzzled. Is it not a happy event to bring a sick man into the wife?
No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, they will not bring it out on their faces when they come to congratulate me. Everything goes well with the marriage.
The new house was the house where Liu Shao lived after he came in. The yard where Yuan Yuanlie and Lu Wanniang lived had been sealed up earlier.
After getting married, if Chu Yunli wanted to go out again, Lu Chengfu was not happy and took over all the business in her hands and only asked her to have a good pregnancy.
In Lu Chengfu's eyes, the safe delivery of the child in his daughter's womb is the Lu family's top priority.
At this time, it was also the time for Lu Chengfu to die in his previous life.
Based on Chu Yunli's own observation and Lu Wanniang's memory of the shopkeeper who defected after Lu Chengfu's death in his previous life, he didn't feel that there was a dangerous person around him. It seems that the problem lies with the person he said the Fang family wanted to send him to learn from him.
Business people.
Lu Wanniang didn't like to worry about this, and Lu Chengfu didn't like to tell his daughter. If he hadn't mentioned it last time, Chu Yunli wouldn't have known about it.
That day, it got dark and Lu Chengfu hadn't returned yet. Chu Yunli was a little worried. Just as he was about to go look for it in person, he saw his carriage coming quickly and stopped at the door. After Lu Chengfu came down, there were some blood stains on his body and he couldn't care less.
Chu Yunli on the side said hello and quickly ordered the guards to lift the people off the carriage.
The man who was carried down was sixteen or seventeen years old. His clothes were covered with bloodstains, especially the area on his chest, which had turned dark black. The bloodstains on Lu Chengfu's clothes were probably rubbed by him.
After calling Dr. Li to take his pulse and bandaging it, Chu Yunli asked, "Dad, what's going on?"
Lu Chengfu sighed, "Today I went to collect rent. I drank too much water and wanted to go to the latrine. I didn't let the guards follow me. Unexpectedly, when I got to the backyard, someone rushed over with a kitchen knife. I didn't react in time at the time. Unexpectedly, he rushed over
Come out and help me block the knife..."
"What a coincidence?" Chu Yunli looked at the person on the bed suspiciously, "Dad, it's better to be cautious and have someone check what's going on."
Lu Chengfu originally looked happy, but he frowned when he heard this, "I will." Seeing Chu Yunli's serious face, he waved his hands and said, "You are pregnant, go back and rest, don't worry about this, I will be careful.
"
I don’t know what happened to Lu Chengfu’s death in his previous life. How could she dare to rest assured?
This matter cannot be rushed.
This man's surname was Fang, Fang Yuanyi. As soon as he saw his name, he knew he was related to the Fang family.
After learning the name, Chu Yunli couldn't sit still and went to look at him. The reason was ready-made: she wanted to thank him for saving Lu Chengfu.
Fang Yuanyi sat under the big tree in the yard, looking pale.
Chu Yunli walked over and said with a smile, "How is Master Fang's injury?"
"Very good." Fang Yuanyi still wanted to get up.
Chu Yunli waved her hand and refused, "No need to be polite. You are the benefactor of our family. I have to thank you for saving my father. If you need anything, you can tell me directly."
"No." Fang Yuanyi smiled gently, "When I saw someone trying to hurt Mr. Lu, I rushed forward without thinking much."
The person who hurt someone over there has been handed over to the Yamen for investigation. Because he didn't pay rent for three years, the steward took his land back and gave it to other people to grow. This was a rule Lu Chengfu had set long ago.
That man had no land to farm this year, so he had no income. He lived in poverty, borrowed everything he could, and was ridiculed and scolded by others. He blamed Lu Chengfu for all this. He touched a kitchen knife and wanted to die with Lu Chengfu.
This didn't happen in her previous life, but Lu Wanniang didn't learn how to do business in her previous life, so Lu Chengfu probably didn't have time to collect rent personally.
Chu Yunli sat opposite him, smiling and chatting, and said, "Speaking of which, the husband in front of me also has the surname Fang. He is the same generation away as you. You are still from the same family... Do you know the Fang family?"
Fang Yuanyi shook his head, "The Fang family is rich and powerful, but I just come from an ordinary farmer's family. How can I know them?"
Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, Chu Yunli didn't believe it. Even if the injury was not a coincidence, it was really a coincidence that this man appeared to save people immediately.
Seeing that he couldn't find anything, Chu Yunli wanted to leave. He thought about telling Lu Chengfu and asking him not to get along with this person in private.
Before I could get up, a familiar coughing sound came from the door of the courtyard, "Wan Niang, why are you here?"
Chu Yunli turned around and saw Liu Shao dressed in red. He frowned slightly and said softly, "I won't see you as soon as I wake up."
Cai Die followed him and explained, "My uncle has to come to you."
Liu Shao walked in and reached out to hold Chu Yunli's hand, "It's cold, don't wander outside, I'll worry."
Chu Yunli smiled and said to Fang Yuanyi, "Take good care of your injuries."
Liu Shao squeezed her fingers tighter, gritted his teeth and whispered, "Why are you laughing with him?"
Chu Yunli: "..." I'm laughing with you.
