After the engagement, Chu Feng no longer concealed the relationship between the two. He said that he was a perfect match without blushing at all.
Li Chaowen covered his chin and glared at Chu Yunli, "You just let him hit me?"
Chu Yunli looked confused, "He is my fiancé. You are the one who comes to trouble me. I can still tell the difference between the inside and the outside. If he can't be beaten, I will help."
Li Chaowen: "..." Is this a threat?
There wasn't much movement here, but it wasn't too quiet either. Many people were at home in the winter. Although no one came out to watch the excitement at this time, I don't know how many people were standing in their yards listening to the movement outside.
Chu Yunli didn't want to become someone else's talking point, "Let me remind you, if outsiders know that you still come to me, the Zhu family..."
"You're cruel." Li Chaowen gritted his teeth, turned around and left quickly.
Chu Feng closed the door and said proudly, "Next time he comes again, just tell me and I will take care of him."
Chu Yunli: "..."
"I'm not attacking you. He will join the army to train in the future. It's just a fluke that you beat him today."
Chu Feng: "...No need to tell me the truth."
He is a weak scholar, and if he fights, he will only get beaten. He hit too fast just now, and Li Chaowen was caught off guard. Otherwise, he could still avoid it.
After entering the house, he saw Xuan'er getting down from the chair by the window. A quick glance revealed that he had just climbed on the chair to watch what was going on outside. Now he was sitting upright, extremely serious.
"Mother." Xuan'er pointed at the sand table and said, "Paint."
Chu Yunli took a glance and saw some crooked lines in the sand table. She sincerely praised, "The painting is very good."
Xuan'er was satisfied and looked at Chu Feng again.
Chu Feng: "Very good!"
Xuan'er was even more satisfied and continued painting with great interest.
On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Li family was very happy. Because they had established a relationship with the General's Mansion, Li Chaowen got married again, which was even more lively than when his brother got married.
Chu Yunli didn't go, she was busy preparing New Year's goods and a dowry.
The small yard next door belonged to Chu Feng's house. She asked someone to measure the dimensions and make furniture. She was just like an ordinary girl getting married. She had everything others had. Although she had dozens of taels of silver in her hands, she didn't spend all of it on dowry.
, it’s just passable anyway.
The dowry is quite satisfactory and better than her previous marriage. The Lu family sent her a lot of good woolen materials for her dowry. There are a lot of woolen materials in Man City, but the good materials are not cheap. Look at the quality of the furs, it’s time to catch up with the ones from back then.
The price of the dowry.
Not only that, the two sisters-in-law came over every day to help.
They were very happy to know that their sister-in-law had remarried. They were pleasantly surprised to know that they had married Chu Feng.
Apart from anything else, it is not too much to ask the uncle for enlightenment in the future for the children in the family... right?
Even if the child does not have the talent to read, it is still a good thing for the family to be related to the master.
Because of this, they treated Chu Yunli much more enthusiastically.
On New Year's Day, the two Lu brothers came specially to pick up their mother and son.
At that time, Chu Feng stood at the door with great reluctance, "Let's fix the wedding date after the Chinese New Year. When the Chinese New Year comes next year, you will be part of my family and no one will be able to pick you up."
Chu Yunli: "..." It's not just for one day! What's the matter?
Lu brothers: "..." Are all scholars so slimy?
However, the two brothers were quite happy to hear that the Chu family wanted to get married as soon as possible. Originally, when their sister encountered such a marriage and the marriage was not consummated for a day, they were worried and always felt that the marriage had changed.
There are quite a few Lu family members, and the table is full of adults and children. The Chinese New Year is a good day, and everyone is very happy and lively.
The first day of the Lunar New Year is the day when a married woman returns to her parents’ home.
Chu Yunli lives at her parents' house and just waits to return to the courtyard in the afternoon.
Four children were having fun on the street outside the door. Many children gathered together. Chu Yunli leaned against the door frame and watched.
"Qiuniang?" A familiar female voice sounded not far away.
When Chu Yunli heard the sound, she went and saw Yu Qingyan holding her child standing by the street, with her brother next to her.
It seems that she was just picked up by her brother.
When a married girl returns to her parents' home, some families will ask her father and brother to pick her up as a sign of their respect for the girl. Lu Qiuniang and Yu Qingyan have known each other for more than a day or two. In the past, the Lu family and the Yu family rarely went to pick up people. Unexpectedly,
This year, the Yu family had someone pick them up.
Seeing that it was her, Chu Yunli nodded slightly as a greeting, then withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at the child opposite.
Yu Qingyan's child was two and a half years old. She couldn't help seeing the excitement over there. As soon as she let go, the child ran over and said, "You haven't come to me recently. Are you really angry with me?"
The sound rang in her ears. Chu Yunli turned her head and saw her slightly worried face, and asked, "Shouldn't I be angry?"
"We grew up together and are each other's best friends. We also promised to be friends for life." Yu Qingyan recalled, "After all, it's me who can't help you, and you should be angry with me. But I
I still want to say that I did what I did for your own good. The Li family cannot tolerate you. You will leave sooner or later. It is easy for you to listen to what I say..."
Chu Yunli sneered, "So you took advantage of them to persuade me?"
Yu Qingyan sighed and explained, "It's wrong for the Li family to beat you. Even if I don't get any benefits, I still want to persuade you to leave."
Chu Yunli was convinced by this explanation. She looked away and suddenly noticed something was wrong with Yu Qingyan. She turned her head and looked carefully, and saw a circle of bruises on her neck, as if someone had pinched her.
She was a little surprised, "What's wrong with your neck?"
Hearing this, Yu Qingyan hurriedly pulled up her collar, "It's okay!"
Chu Yunli became interested and said, "You are wrong. I treat you as my best friend. In the past, I told you everything whether it was about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law or between husband and wife. But as for you, you said that your neck is obviously
You were pinched, why didn't you tell me?"
Yu Qingyan's tears fell instantly, and she said harshly, "There's nothing to say, it's all about money. Isn't that all there is to worry about in life? Which couple doesn't quarrel?"
"I'm telling you, a man who hits someone must do it once." She recalled what Yu Qingyan once said to Lu Qiuniang with her righteous words, "If you dare to forgive, he will dare to hit you again."
!Don’t go back today, stay here. If he doesn’t come to pick you up, and doesn’t come to admit your mistake honestly and promise not to do anything again in the future, don’t go back.”
Yu Qingyan listened and couldn't cry anymore. These words sounded very familiar to her ears. They were all words that had come from her mouth before. She wiped her eyes and glared at Chu Yunli, "Are you kidding me?"
Chu Yunli spread her hands, "Let's be honest. I really can't have a man like this!"
She was serious and couldn't tell whether it was ridicule or genuine persuasion. Yu Qingyan didn't bother to tell, and felt sad, "I still have a child with him, how can we leave just by saying we are divorced? What if the child has a stepmother?"
, I still don’t know how to suffer.”
Chu Yunli: "..."
Lu Qiuniang once said the same thing and was scolded by her. Chu Yunli actually wanted to ask if her face hurt now that her words came out.
Just at this moment, Ting'er and Xuan'er ran over with their younger siblings. It was so cold outside that Chu Yunli didn't want to stand at the door with her to blow the cold wind, so she took the children inside.
During lunch, Mother Lu was quite emotional, "I didn't expect that boy from the Cheng family, who was such a gentle person back then, would actually take action against Qingyan now."
The two brothers had heard about Yu Qingyan's hookup with the Li family. Since then, they no longer wanted to have anything to do with her. When they heard Mother Lu say these words, Brother Lu said, "Mom, be fine."
What are you doing talking about these unpleasant days?"
"Qingyan and Qiuniang grew up together, and they were still good sisters." Mother Lu looked at Chu Yunli, "When you have time, go and comfort her."
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly, "When I was beaten, she persuaded me to divorce once I went to Cheng's house. Later, I felt it was wrong and left. Later, Li Chaowen became drunk and went crazy that night, and she was bound to come to the house the next day.
, seeing that I didn’t get any new injuries, I looked very surprised.”
Father Lu frowned.
Mother Lu's face became cautious, "What do you mean?"
The sister-in-law and sister-in-law had also heard about it vaguely, so they were not surprised. When the two brothers heard this again, their expressions were extremely ugly.
Chu Yunli didn't think that Yu Qingyan was really doing it for the good of her friends and didn't want to help her hide it, "It means that your daughter I haven't been beaten yet, but Li Chaowen went crazy with alcohol at night, and she already knew that I was beaten.
You want me and Li to leave the Li family as soon as possible!"
Together with Chu Yunli, she said that the Li family could not tolerate her. In addition, the separation was only a few months away and the bride from the Li family had already entered the house. What else could you not understand?
Father Lu said with a straight face, "Eat! From now on, don't talk about the Yu family's affairs at the dinner table, as it will affect your appetite. Besides, Qiuniang is living a good life now, so don't mention what happened in the past. It's not a good thing, and it will be done over and over again.
Memories. The Li family is living a good life, and Qiuniang is not bad either!"
Chu Yunli deeply thought so.
After dinner, she took Xuan'er back to the back street, and bumped into Yu Qingyan on her way out. At this time, she was crying heartbrokenly in the arms of a man, it was her husband Cheng Yue.
Seeing Chu Yunli coming out, Cheng Yue nodded to her as a greeting.
Chu Yunli took the child, pretended not to see it, and left directly.
At the intersection of the back streets, Chu Feng stood leaning against the wall for an unknown amount of time. Chu Yunli walked over quickly and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Waiting for you." Chu Feng reached out and took Xuan'er, "It's so cold here, I'm freezing. If you don't come, I'll go to the Lu family to pick someone up."
Chu Yunli: "..."
After a long while, she said, "It's okay for you to pick us up after we get married. Now that we're like this, I'm afraid I'll be beaten up."
Chu Feng said solemnly, "I want to get married immediately!"
It made Chu Yunli laugh.
Chu Feng was very anxious, and so was Chu's mother. After the New Year, she directly went to Chu Yunli and the Lu family to discuss the wedding date, "It's best to do it in March, when the weather is good, all kinds of dishes are available, and the banquet is easy to organize."
.”
Naturally, the Lu family couple had no objections. Again, no matter how you look at this marriage, it is the Lu family's high priority. If they don't get married for a day, the marriage will easily change. Of course, the sooner the better.
The Chu and Lu families were preparing for their wedding. Although Chu Yunli and Chu Feng lived next door, it was difficult for them to meet up for a trip. However, there were still unexpected things, such as ordering wedding clothes, so they should go together.
It was rare to go out together openly, so Chu Feng was not willing to go back like this. After Xifu finished watching, he even took her to the teahouse to sit for a while.
The two of them talked in perfect harmony, Chu Yunli didn't notice any difference, but the more Chu Feng got along with her, the more reluctant he was to separate.
When the two of them left the teahouse, they suddenly heard someone calling from behind them, "Chu Juren."
The young woman's voice was filled with surprise.
The two stopped and turned around, seeing a young girl in a pink shirt walking over quickly with her skirt in hand. She turned a blind eye to Chu Yunli next to her and asked with a smile, "What a coincidence, are you here to have tea too?"
"
Chu Feng nodded slightly, pulled Chu Yunli, and said indifferently, "I will accompany my fiancée to choose wedding clothes and drink tea by the way. We have other things to do, so let's go first."
After saying that, he took Chu Yunli and left. No matter how the girl behind him called, he never looked back.
Chu Yunli smiled and sighed, "My heart is as strong as iron!"
Chu Feng: "..."
"Are you satisfied if I have a detailed chat with her?"
"What a beautiful thought!" Chu Yunli stood on tiptoes, grabbed his collar, stared into his eyes, and scolded, "Honestly, who is that girl, and why are she so familiar with you?"
Chu Feng looked obedient and did not struggle. He blinked and his eyes were full of smiles, "She is familiar with it!"
Chu Yunli snorted softly and wanted to say more, but there was a clear cough. The two of them looked up and saw Chu's mother holding Xuan'er standing at the door. They didn't know how long they had been watching.
Chu Yunli: "..."
She hurriedly suppressed the ferocity on her face, retracted her hand and took a step away, folding her hands, looking gentle and virtuous, "Auntie, are you kidding me?"
