Not only Chu Yunli, but also the Gu mother and daughter in the house were very happy.
You must know that when Hu Yibin returns to the Yuan family, the Yuan family will make the decision on the marriage, and the Hu family can only make suggestions. If he does not return, the Hu family will make the decision, and most likely they will not consider Zhang Huijing.
There are also unhappy people at the table, such as Rong Piao. If Hu Yibin does not come back, her son Yuan Yiquan will be the only legitimate son of the eldest son. If he comes back... the children of the first wife will always be valued more than the stepchildren, especially Hu Yibin's maternal grandfather.
The Hu family and Yuan Yiquan are absolutely incomparable.
In short, whether Hu Yibin comes back has a lot to do with whether Yuan Yiquan can inherit the family business. Rong Piao himself definitely doesn't want him to come back.
But the old lady is right, who dares to refute?
In the silence, Hu Yibin smiled and said, "Grandma, recognizing your ancestor and returning to your clan is a big deal. I have to go back and ask my grandfather and my mother about this."
He changed his surname to Hu, so he called Mr. Hu his grandfather instead of his maternal grandfather.
The old lady waved her hand and said indifferently, "If they really do it for your own good, they shouldn't refuse."
Hu Yibin suddenly glanced at Chu Yunli, and then quickly looked away, "Grandma, my grandfather, they gave me a hard time. I can't be heartless. Let's do this. I don't have to go home to learn how to do business. I'll wait.
After the New Year, I will go to the shop to find dad every day, okay?"
Hearing this, the old lady frowned, "If you don't recognize your ancestors for one day, you won't be able to go to the Yuan family. The account books in the shop are confidential..."
"Mother." Yuan Lizong interrupted with a smile, "I won't talk about these things today. In a few days, we will find the Hu family and discuss it carefully."
The old lady didn't force it, she just let Piao pour a bowl of soup over and said, "Mom, drink the soup."
After the New Year's dinner, the sky outside was already hazy and snow was falling in the sky. Chu Yunli wrapped her cloak tightly and wanted to speed up her pace.
Shuxiang supported her and whispered, "Girl, please slow down, the floor is slippery, I'm afraid I won't be able to support you."
"Yuehe!" The young man's voice sounded anxiously behind him, "I want to talk to you." He then ordered, "Stand away."
The last sentence was said to the fragrance of books.
Shu Xiang did not move, tentatively looking at Chu Yunli's expression.
Chu Yunli comforted her heart, if she met Xiaolian, she would have run away happily.
"Cousin, tell me what you have to say."
"Yuehe, do you have to do this?" Hu Yibin looked disappointed, "Or do you really want me to come back and be your big brother? As long as you say you don't want to, I will push you back. Then I will work hard to marry you!"
Shuxiang looked surprised and quickly lowered her head. She wished she could plug her ears.
"I won't marry you. As for whether to go back to the Yuan family, that's your business." Chu Yunli patted Shuxiang's hand comfortingly, "Let's go back."
The master and the servant walked out of the garden. Shuxiang looked back and saw that the man was still standing there, letting the snowflakes fall, and his whole person became dim, which made people feel a little pitiful for no reason.
"Girl, between you and Master Hu..."
Chu Yunli glanced at her and said, "Nothing happened. He is my cousin in the Hu family. If he comes back, he will be my eldest brother. Don't pry around!"
"Yes." Shuxiang responded obediently.
Not long after returning to the yard, Chu Yunli was soaking her hands in hot water when Rong Piao hurried in, "Yue He, what will we do if Hu Yibin comes back?"
Chu Yunli wiped her hands dry with a handkerchief, applied hand oil on her hands carefully, and asked doubtfully, "What should I do?"
Seeing that she was not in a hurry, Rong Piao was a little angry, "If he comes back, what will happen to your brother in this family? It's not easy for a stepmother, and the old lady will target me even more."
Liu Yuehe is just the stepdaughter of this family, a dragster from outside. To be honest, neither the old lady nor Yuan Lizong care much about her. She is just a little girl, and a dowry is just a waste. But if Liu Yuehe is
Yue He is ignorant and follows Rong Piao by jumping up and down, which is not only annoying but also annoying.
No matter how much Rong Piao jumps around, as long as Yuan Yiquan is here and Yuan Lizong is protecting them, nothing will happen to them and their son.
Chu Yunli's words were gentle and gentle, "Mom, he is the eldest son. Whether he comes back or not is not something we can decide, nor can we stop him."
"No." Rong Piao came closer, "I asked Shuxiang just now, and I know what he just said to you. There is already love between you. How about you stabilize him first and get engaged...
"
"Mother!" Chu Yunli interrupted her, "Even if we get engaged, it can only stop us for a while, but not for the rest of our lives. Will Mrs. Hu agree to the marriage? Even if she agrees, she will watch helplessly as he takes away this huge family fortune.
Give it away?"
Rong Piao was speechless.
Mrs. Hu had no intention of getting married at first, but she just didn't know how to measure it, and she underestimated Yuan Lizong's persistence in love. To put it bluntly, Ms. Hu never thought about returning home with Li, let alone letting her son stay with her.
With the surname Hu, everything is a mistake.
The Yuan family took the initiative to ask Hu Yibin to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan. The Hu family would never give up this opportunity.
"It would also be good for you if your brother became the head of the family." Rong Piao didn't give up, "Yue He, life is about suffering first and then sweetness. You can't just think about harvesting without giving..."
Chu Yunli's face turned cold, "Mom, I'm very grateful that you didn't agree to this marriage before. But what are you doing now? Is my brother's role as the head of the family more important than my life?"
Rong Piao's face turned even colder, "What does it have to do with your life? If it's not just to get married, it will ruin your reputation at most. When your brother becomes the head of the family, even if your husband is a loser, he will not make your life difficult. Besides, before you
You have to marry him life or death, but now you refuse to marry him, you are clearly trying to embarrass me and want to go against me."
"It's you who is making things difficult for me." Chu Yunli was not afraid at all, "I won't marry anyway."
"You..." Rong Piao was extremely angry, "If I had known this, I should have kept you in the Liu family!"
Mother and daughter broke up unhappy.
Rong Piao stormed out angrily, and Chu Yunli said again, "Take those two maids of yours away, I don't want them to serve you!"
Shuxiang Huaxiang only came here for two days before Chu Yunli kicked her out.
Then, Chu Yunli went to the front yard where the maids were taught and picked two back. One was called Coptis and the other was called Licorice.
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, when Chu Yunli went to Ronghe Garden to pay his respects, he saw Hu Yibin, who was led by Mrs. Hu. The room was full of laughter and laughter, and the atmosphere was harmonious. The old lady's smile never fell.
On that day, the Yuan family opened an ancestral hall, and Hu Yibin officially changed his name to Yuan Yibin, becoming the eldest son of Yuan Lizong.
In the next two days, Chu Yunli claimed to be ill and did not go to say hello. The old lady didn't care either.
On New Year's Eve, the whole family had to have New Year's Eve dinner together, and Chu Yunli had to go even if she didn't want to.
At the table, the old lady was very happy, "Our family is finally in peace this year. I would like to die now and rest in peace." She grabbed Zhang Huizhen's hand, "After the New Year, we will find a good day to get married.
Decided. Maybe I can still see my great-grandson born... Hahahaha..."
Pulling Zhang Huizhen to make such a joke, the marriage was basically settled. Otherwise, her reputation would be damaged. The old lady did not lower her voice when she spoke. There was a screen between the male and female family members, so everyone outside must have heard it.
Rong Piao's smile became more and more forced. Sure enough, she asked her daughter to make it right. Yuan Yibin married Zhang Huijing. When the time comes, the power of running the family will directly fall on the little girl. What else will happen to her?
Chu Yunli and her two cousins lowered their heads and pretended not to understand. The two cheap aunts beside them were already congratulating themselves.
The New Year's Eve banquet is not like the New Year's Eve banquet. Today we have to keep the New Year's Eve. Even a few little girls have to watch the old lady and laugh. The room is warm and the old lady is in a good mood. Even the few little girls
A little more lively than before.
In the middle of the night, Chu Yunli went to Gongfang. On the way back, she saw Yuan Yibin standing under the eaves again, seemingly waiting for her. In the dim light of the lantern, his expression could not be seen clearly.
Chu Yunli stepped forward slowly, Luo Luo generously said, "Brother!"
Yuan Yibin had a cold look on his face, "I followed your wishes and became your big brother. Are you satisfied now?"
Chu Yunli: "..." To be honest, you didn't throw the blame away like this!
"Brother, no one is forcing you to go back to the Yuan family, right? The twenty-fourth old lady suggested that the twenty-eighth memorize the family tree. I see that you can't wait. Don't blame me for everything, it's none of my business!"
As she said this, she was about to enter the house, but her way was blocked by Yuan Yibin. His eyes were red and he stared at her persistently, "Have you forgotten our relationship for more than a year? Don't you have any heart?"
Facing his eyes that looked like a betrayed man, Chu Yunli laughed angrily, "Is it emotion or deception? We all know it. You treated me like a monkey, and now that the monkey has stopped, are you still not happy?"
Hu Yibin was startled and wanted to explain, "I have never..."
Chu Yunli waved her hand, "I'm just naive, not stupid. You mother and son have a deep relationship, and there is no need to vent your anger on others. The grudges between their elders have nothing to do with us. Seriously speaking, we are all victims. What do you want?
To take revenge on my mother, I actually found the wrong person."
Saying this, Chu Yunli felt that she was wasting her breath. Who would do such things, how could you expect him to be reasonable?
I was too lazy to say anything at the moment and went back to the house.
After the New Year, the family began to prepare for the old lady's 60th birthday. Because of this, Rong Piao's original plan to return to her parents' home to give New Year gifts was postponed.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, it was the old lady's sixtieth birthday, and the door of Yuan's home was opened wide to welcome guests from all over the world. Rong Piao has been very busy in the past few days, not to mention today, even the little girls at home have to accompany the guests.
Yuan Yibin recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan, which basically cut off the possibility between the two of them. Chu Yunli was in a good mood, and he didn't feel bored looking at the chattering little girl in the garden.
But a maid came over quickly and whispered, "Girl, my girl sprained her foot over there, can you take a look?" After a pause, she added, "My girl is very embarrassed, can you change it first?
Are you looking for someone else?"
The guest was injured, so Chu Yunli, the half-master, should go and have a look. He had no doubts at the moment and followed the maid to the rockery next to him.
As soon as she entered, she saw a young man wearing a blue gown looking around, as if waiting for someone. After seeing her, he came over quickly.
A young man appeared in the garden that was supposed to receive women, and someone specially lured her over. Chu Yunli was wary, and grabbed the background stone on the edge of the rockery, thinking that if he dared to attack, she would slap him on the head.
, or slap him on the head...
The young man stepped forward, stood three steps away, and said with a salute, "Girl, I seem to have gone the wrong way, do you know..."
He raised his head and was stunned when he saw the girl opposite holding a stone bigger than her head, with a fierce look on her face as if she was going to hit someone.
Facing those familiar eyes, Chu Yunli said: "..." It's all a misunderstanding!
