The reason why Mrs. Liu is so anxious about her son's marriage is because Mr. Liu is about to die.
Before she left, the doctor said it would take at most half a year. It had only been two months, and the person on the bed was already looking lifeless. It had only happened in the past few days.
Mr. Liu took a deep breath and asked the steward to take out the account book. He had already divided the homes for his three sons.
Liu Zhang, the eldest son of Liu, received 70% of the ancestral property, while Liu Ping and Liu An, the second sons, shared the remaining 30% equally.
Liu An was given a 100,000 tael of silver notes and a second-class house in the county, as well as two village houses and three shops in the suburbs. Liu Ping's was similar, but he was the brother of Liu Zhang's mother, so he didn't have to worry about having no money to spend.
.
In fact, what Liu An got was enough for them to live as a couple for a lifetime.
After the family was divided, Mr. Liu was gone.
Mrs. Liu was very sad. After the funeral, she lost a lot of weight and fell into coma twice during the period. She was in a daze. As soon as the funeral was over, she fell ill.
Chu Yunli took care of her personally, and she regained consciousness two days later.
Everything will be fine once she wakes up. Chu Yunli handed the cooked porridge to her, "Mom, drink the porridge. After you finish drinking, take the medicine."
The porridge had a medicinal smell. Mrs. Liu frowned slightly, looked at her daughter-in-law, and drank it anyway. After drinking the medicine again and going to sleep, she felt much lighter when she woke up again.
"Actually, he treats me well." Mrs. Liu sat in front of the window. "When I came here, I was only sixteen, and his sons were older than me. Over the years, he taught me how to run a family and how to manage my servants. Before he left,
I didn’t forget to divide the family before so that I wouldn’t be troubled.”
"Mom, don't think about it." Chu Yunli advised.
The corners of Mrs. Liu's lips curled up slightly, "He is a good person and has deep thoughts. He probably separated the family because he was afraid that I would fight with his two sons, or maybe he was afraid that they would hurt me..."
Seeing that she was immersed in her own thoughts again, Chu Yunli interrupted her, "Mom, the second brother has moved away, do we want to move?"
These are probably all part of his calculations, right?
A hint of sarcasm appeared on Mrs. Liu's lips, "Let's move." Anyway, she really didn't want to let her son fight.
You are not in good health, but after fighting for such a big business, do you want to die from exhaustion?
After thinking about it this way, she felt better and said, "Move to a port and live there for a while, and then we can talk about it."
So, Liu An and Chu Yunli started moving, moved people and things to the second courtyard, packed their luggage and returned to town.
With so many things happening, it had only been half a month before their carriage set off again.
Five days later in the evening, when I arrived outside the town, looking at the dark sky outside, Liu An frowned and asked the coachman outside, "How long until we reach the town?"
"Ten miles away..."
Before the driver finished speaking, the carriage stopped suddenly, causing the people in the car to rush forward. Liu An quickly held Chu Yunli in his hand and scolded, "What's going on?"
The coachman's voice was trembling, "Young Master...there are...there are thieves..."
Hearing this, Chu Yunli opened the curtain. In the dim night, he vaguely saw someone tying up someone not far ahead, and someone beside him was gesturing with a big knife.
Liu An looked solemn, "Turn around!"
Hearing this, the coachman hurriedly pulled the reins. The more anxious he was, the more likely he was to make mistakes. At this critical moment, the riding crop in his hand fell to the ground. He couldn't think more about it and jumped down anxiously to pick it up. However, his feet gave out and he failed.
climb up.
After a while, the people over there had already gathered around.
The two carriages were quickly surrounded, and the people around them were walking in circles, and they were very excited, "I'm so lucky today, I didn't expect there to be such a rich carriage..." He saw Chu Yunli again, "There is a woman again, I can be happy
For a moment...ah..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a scream. It turned out that Liu An threw the tea cup in his hand. He originally wanted to discuss it with them and pass the money, but they unexpectedly decided on Chu Yunli.
I can't bear it anymore.
Liu An grabbed everything he could throw in the carriage and threw it out. When he saw everyone avoiding him, he turned his eyes and raised his hand to take away the hairpin from Chu Yunli's head, "Madam, I will give you some good ones later.
"
After that, he grabbed the hairpin and climbed out, facing the horse and about to dig in.
Chu Yunli quickly climbed out, held his hand, pulled back the hairpin, and said angrily, "If you want to be a desperate mandarin duck, you have to ask me!"
Liu An: "..."
This is the only way out of trouble he can think of at the moment.
Their coachman fell down, and the carriage behind them was normal. As long as they rushed out, the coachman behind them would definitely follow them if they were not stupid, and they would naturally escape.
Although... this is indeed dangerous.
Chu Yunli withdrew the hairpin and stabbed the person who was shouting the loudest in the chest, followed by a scream.
At the same time, she had already turned over like a butterfly. Then, with just a few movements of hers, and with a few heart-wrenching "clicks", the seven or eight people surrounding them all fell down, covering their hands and feet.
She screamed in pain and looked at Chu Yunli with fear in her eyes.
Liu An: "..." Such a powerful wife is his!
The woman that so many people were afraid of was his wife, and he suddenly felt so capable!
The two masters and servants who were tied up not far in front only saw the carriage behind being surrounded. Then someone screamed and jumped out in plain clothes. In just a few strokes, everyone was knocked down.
She let out a series of screams, and judging from her figure, she seemed to be a woman.
Young man: "..." Suddenly I feel like a waste for being praised as a young and promising person!
Liu An reacted quickly. Seeing that Chu Yunli had beaten them to the ground, he quickly got out of the carriage and asked his two coachmen to tie them up. Even the riding whips were tied up with ropes. When Chu Yunli saw this, he went
Untie the two people at the front. Untie the rope over there, and you can tie them up too.
After the rope was removed, the master-like man immediately thanked him, "Thank you, girl, for saving my life."
The sky was dark, and I wasn't sure just now. When I got closer, I realized that the person who knocked those people down was really a woman. She looked like she was twenty years old or not, and I was filled with admiration. I was thinking about going back to practice, but I didn't know if it would be late.
?
Chu Yunli didn't look at him and didn't know what he was thinking. His eyes fell on the rope and he said casually, "Help tie people up."
The master and the servant hurriedly got up, tied up the people with her, and then carried the bunch back to the town. After a delay, it was difficult to move quickly with so many people, and it was already completely dark when they arrived in the town.
Chu Yunli and the frightened Mrs. Liu returned home together. Liu An did not delay and together with the young man sent a group of people to the mayor's home.
After the initial fear, Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter-in-law's excited face and asked, "How could you hit someone?"
Chu Yunli had already thought of her words, and said rather embarrassedly, "I started helping out in restaurants when I was fifteen, and learned how to cook from the master. The pot was very heavy, and I couldn't lift it. The master didn't want to teach me, so...
…”
Wen Zhi's left hand was indeed much stronger than that of ordinary girls, but beating people did not rely on strength. However, Mrs. Liu didn't know this. It was hazy at the time and she was far away, so she didn't see clearly how Chu Yunli hit her.
People, and those people were not serious robbers, they were just nearby mountain people, and they could be easily subdued. Therefore, Mrs. Liu believed it instantly.
He was a little scared again, "If I had known earlier, I would have brought a guard with me. I hope nothing happens."
The last time Mrs. Liu came, the bodyguard was found for her by Mr. Liu. This time the Liu family was divided and all the servants were changed. Liu An's people were all placed in the house. Nowadays, the government is strict and there are not many cases of murder.
.This town is not considered remote. Who knew we would encounter robbers?
When Liu An returned, he took the young man with him and ordered his servants to settle their master and servants. After returning to the room, he explained, "He is not from Bu Town. He has no relatives here. He is here to find someone. We
We shared adversities together, so we brought them two back."
"Looking for someone?" Chu Yunli was confused. Even though it was night, she could tell with just a few glances that the master and servant were not ordinary people. When she was helping the master-looking man untie him, she touched his smooth skin.
Satin is at least a merchant.
For a person of this status, when looking for someone, he should ask his subordinates to look for him, right?
Seeing Liu An's thoughtful eyes, Chu Yunli's heart moved, "Looking for your daughter?"
Liu An smiled and stroked her hair, "Are you asking me about the Wen family? I don't know if I don't ask, but we are still acquaintances. He is the son of my aunt's husband's eldest brother, so I will call him cousin.
.I have been weak since I was a child and don’t like to go out, so I don’t know him.”
Chu Yunli: "..." So easy?
The next morning, Chu Yunli went to the front yard, where Liu An was having breakfast with the man.
Seeing her entering the door, Liu An stood up with a smile, and the young man also stood up, looking at her face with surprise and uncertainty. He looked at Liu An and then at Chu Yunli at the door, trembling with his fingers, "You...you...
…”
Liu An's aunt informed her husband's family based on her appearance, so someone was called there. Chu Yunli touched her face, and it seemed that Wen Zhi's appearance was indeed similar to her family members.
The young man said "you" to him for a long time, with a confused expression on his face, "How could you hit someone?"
Liu An: "..."
Chu Yunli: "..." Is this the point?
The couple looked at each other and never expected that his first words would be this.
The young man kept chattering to himself, angrily, "A good girl can beat seven or eight strong men. How did the Wen family raise you? Did they raise you as a thug and a guard?"
Chu Yunli: "..." The Wen family was wronged!
She stepped forward slowly, "Be careful, it is a great kindness to the Wen family to raise me. They are my parents, and it is not your turn to dislike me..."
Wen Zhi doesn't know how to hit anyone. If this matter is blamed on the Wen family, I'm afraid it would be unfair.
The young man's eyes widened and he said angrily, "I'm your brother!" After saying this, he felt a little wilted and his eye circles were red, "I...I don't dislike you."
I have been looking for my sister in my family for many years, so how can I dislike her?
Besides, he had just been rescued by his sister, so he had no right to dislike him.
Then, he started to struggle again. It was too shameful that he was saved by his sister the first time they met.
