Yuan Yibin knew some of Chu Yunli's thoughts. Seeing her silence, he hurriedly said, "Mom, let's leave quickly. Grandma is still waiting."
Hearing this, Mrs. Hu reached out and poked her son's forehead, "Just because you protect her, we can't keep her in this family."
Yuan Yibin took a step back to avoid her mother's fingers, "Although Qi Feng's family is poor, he is very talented. If you really ask for it, you will get what she wants!"
Madam Hu smiled, "So what if it's what she wants? Rong Piao has spent her whole life working hard to get into wealthy businessmen, but her daughter is obsessed with marrying a farmer. As long as I think of Rong Piao's face, I am happy."
She smiled and was pulled into Ronghe Garden by Yuan Yibin.
Licorice whispered, "Girl, should we go and talk to Madam?"
"No need." Chu Yunli smiled gently, "Let her go!"
Licorice hesitated to speak, and finally swallowed back the words he wanted to persuade.
Back in the yard, Huang Lian was preparing breakfast. When he saw Chu Yunli, he hurriedly took out a box and said, "Girl, this is from Mr. Qi."
Chu Yunli reached out and took it, opened it, and saw twelve wooden hairpins inside, with various patterns, intricate carvings, and fresh carvings. It looked like they had just been made.
As she watched, a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
Just after breakfast, the girl next to Rong Piao came and said, "Girl, Madam, I have something urgent to ask you."
As nothing happened, Chu Yunli changed her clothes and went to the main courtyard. Rong Piao was arguing with Yuan Lizong in the house, "Not to mention that she is the daughter of the Yuan family now, she is only the daughter of the Liu family. She will not be the one to get married."
Let’s go to the banker’s house?”
"Besides, marriage is the order of the parents. If grandmother can make the decision, do you have to ask the Liu family about Yue He's marriage?"
In a hurry, her tone sounded aggressive.
Yuan Lizong looked unhappy, "You mean, my mother is not qualified to arrange a marriage for Yue He? She came here when she was five years old, and the Yuan family has raised her for ten years. You are too..."
"Father."
Chu Yunli just stepped in and interrupted what Yuan Lizong was about to say.
Under Yuan Lizong's accusation, Rong Piao came to his senses, stopped blaming, suppressed his anger, and with tears in his eyes looked aggrieved. He rushed to the door and hugged his daughter tightly, "Yue He... my miserable daughter..."
She stopped making trouble, and Yuan Lizong's expression softened, "Stop crying, be careful of crying and breaking your body."
Rong Piao continued to whine, "My mother is Yue He's grandmother, and it is natural for her to get her granddaughter engaged. However, she did not do this out of love, but as a compromise to others." She held Chu Yunli's shoulders.
, "Husband, I don't blame you or my mother for this. I just blame me for not being with you, which made Sister Hu resent me... She let Yue He marry into a farm family, which is obviously revenge! My poor Yue.
He..."
The person lying on her body was crying so hard that she was trembling and frail. Chu Yunli could tell that she was really crying.
Yuan Lizong came over, took the person back and held her in his arms, "Don't cry. The marriage has been decided, and I will prepare a good dowry for our daughter, and I will never let her be wronged."
Is the marriage decided?
I didn't expect Hu to move so quickly.
Chu Yunli lowered his head and said, "Thank you father."
In the past, Yuan Lizong didn't like this child. She was evidence that a beautiful woman had married someone else. Every time he saw her, he would be reminded of his past powerlessness. But now, he really felt a little pity for this child.
Regardless of whether the little girl has feelings for the child of the Qi family, if not for this accident, the marriage would not have been possible. After all, who can watch their child jump into the fire pit?
That's a break, and she has to break it back.
But now, because of the grievances between the elders, the child got such a marriage... Whether she wants it or not, she will regret it sooner or later, which is really pitiful.
"I owe Sister Hu, why do I need my daughter to pay it back?" Rong Piao couldn't help crying, "I had known this, then I would have..."
Yuan Lizong covered her mouth and said, "Stop talking. It's not your fault, it's my fault. I provoked you."
The two talked about their love for each other and rubbed their ears together. Chu Yunli somewhat understood why Rong Piao was not liked by the old lady, and he was able to secure the position of Mrs. Yuan. Over the years, no matter how the old lady and outsiders sent beauties, Yuan Lizong was always around
They didn't even have a concubine. I think Rong Piao's crying skills had a lot to do with it.
Chu Yunli lowered her head.
There was someone nearby. Yuan Lizong and Rong Piao were a little uncomfortable getting close. "Yuehe, since the marriage has been decided, don't think too much about it. Go back and embroider the dowry with peace of mind. I won't let you suffer. In case the Qi family treats you badly in the future."
You, you just come back and live!"
On the way back, Chu Yunli realized that Mrs. Hu didn't care whether she wanted it or not. As long as Rong Piao was uncomfortable with the marriage, her goal was achieved.
Looking up at the carved eaves, Chu Yunli sighed in her heart, Liu Yuehe refused to marry Yuan Yibin in her last life, and it would be difficult for her to die happily in the end.
Qi Feng was waiting at the entrance of the courtyard. After seeing her, he came up to her with a smile, "Yue He, we are an unmarried couple from now on. We have made a small wedding ceremony today... I am very happy."
Chu Yunli smiled and looked at his clothes, "I'll make clothes for you later."
"Okay." Qi Feng's eyes were full of drowning affection, "I will keep it well."
Chu Yunli: "..."
She was a little speechless, "The clothes are for wearing, what's the point of putting them away?"
Qi Feng looked at the top of her head, "The hairpin is for wearing, what's the matter if you keep it?"
Chu Yunli couldn't help but laugh, "I won't have time, I'll wear it when I get back."
I glanced at the wound on his fingertip with my peripheral vision, and realized that it was probably the injury caused by the hairpin.
The two talked for a while at the door of the courtyard. Chu Yunli was in a good mood and returned to her room. After lunch, Huang Lian hurried over and said, "Girl, Xiaolian is gone. I will deliver breakfast tomorrow morning and she will still be there. Now
After delivering lunch, I didn’t see anyone in the house.”
Chu Yunli was a little curious, "Where's the woman at the door? Didn't you see her go out?"
Huang Lian was a little nervous, "My servant asked. The mother-in-law said that she had a stomachache today and went to the palace several times. During this time, she couldn't find anyone to take her place. Maybe she ran away during that time..."
Ran?
In her previous life, Xiaolian was beaten to death by Mr. Hu after she married Liu Yuehe into the Hu family. In fact, Liu Yuehe still felt a little guilty towards her.
However, when Chu Yunli came, he discovered that this girl was dishonest. Liu Yuehe's single-minded devotion to Yuan Yibin also had something to do with this girl.
Chu Yunli waved her hand, "Don't worry about it, it's just a girl who is carrying the master's back, so don't worry about it."
If she just disappears, there is no need to worry about her anymore. If she dares to come out and play around again, Chu Yunli will not let her go.
Liu Yuehe's marriage was decided, and the Yuan family was quite surprised.
Originally, among the children of the Qi family and the Yuan family, Liu Yuehe was not considered a daughter of the Yuan family at all. When outsiders looked at her, they thought the Yuan family disliked poverty and loved being rich, so they randomly found a stepdaughter to send away.
The day after the marriage was scheduled, when Chu Yunli went to greet the old lady again, the old lady who had always been cold to her softened her expression for the first time and waved, "Come here."
Chu Yunli stepped forward, and the old lady took out a box from the side, "This marriage has wronged you. We are a grandparent, and this is what I give you."
The box was pushed forward and opened, revealing a set of gold-plated ruby jewelry that shone brightly. Chu Yunli was a little surprised, "Grandma, this is too precious."
"You deserve this." The old lady couldn't help but stuff it into Licorice's hand. "As for your dowry, I will ask your father to prepare it well and I will not treat you badly."
Chu Yunli was blessed again, "Thank you, grandma."
Zhang Huizhen said sourly, "That's what my great-aunt planned to leave to me."
The old lady glared at her, "I won't miss you."
His tone was still the same gentle, but it lacked the familiar and teasing tone of the past.
"From today on, you two don't go out and stay at home to embroider your dowry." The old lady ordered, "Yue He, the Qi family doesn't have a yard in the city. It's not like living in our house for a long time. It's just a round trip to Liangzhou City."
In half a month, your marriage will be arranged as soon as possible, and then Qi Feng and his son will welcome you back by the way. You have to hurry up."
Chu Yunli agreed, a little curious about who else the "you two" in the old lady's mouth meant, it should be Zhang Huizhen. After waiting for a while, she still didn't hear any news about Zhang Huizhen's marriage.
When I went out, I met Yuan Yiyi. When the girl saw her, her eyes were full of pity, "Yuehe, if you have a hard time in the future, feel free to come to me."
Chu Yunli: "..."
Everyone seems to think that she will endure hardship in the future.
After the marriage was settled, except for the occasional gift from Qi Feng, the days were almost the same as before.
Rong Piao came over and brought some things, two sets of jewelry and a small shop, "These are prepared by the Liu family for you. They gave them to me directly when I remarried and took you away."
Seeing her daughter's silence, Rong Piao emphasized, "Regardless of the lack of things, the Liu family only has this little money. Originally, a married woman only had money in cash, so I asked them for that shop."
Chu Yunli nodded, "I understand."
"Don't think that the Liu family has much affection for you just because they gave these things." Rong Piao warned, "That family is the meanest. The reason why they gave the things to them so long ago is because they don't want you to go to them again and take these things."
, then the relationship with them will be severed."
"I understand." After a pause, Chu Yunli said again, "Thank you, mother."
Rong Piao's eyes turned red, "Just don't blame me." She wiped her eyes, "These are just the small part, the dowry from the Yuan family is the big part. Now he feels sorry for our mother and daughter, and will give it seriously
You prepare at least two shops. From now on, Yuan Yiyi and the others will only have these. Even if you have these three shops, even if you don't do business and just collect rent, you will have enough food and clothing in your life. Again, man
You can’t even believe what you say. You still have to hold the money in your own hands to be your own.”
As she spoke, she choked up and couldn't help but stand up and walk to the door. With her back to Chu Yunli, she said, "Yue He, I'm sorry for you. I am Rong Piao and I have a beautiful face. I must be a hero among people."
It's worthy. I feel aggrieved to be in a family like the Liu family. I don't care what outsiders think of me...I admit that I'm selfish, and it's right for you to hate me. If I could do it over again, I would still be like that."
She opened the door and left in a hurry.
Two days later, when Chu Yunli was greeting the old lady, the father and son of the Qi family who lived in the outer courtyard came to say goodbye and wanted to move back to their own courtyard.
Everyone in the room suddenly looked at each other with different moods.
The courtyard in the city, even a small courtyard in the outer city, must be more than a dozen taels.
The Qi family can actually build a courtyard in the city, which means that they are not as poor as everyone thinks. At least, what Qi's father said about eating chaffy vegetables... is not true.
The old lady was also surprised, "Do you have a yard in the city?"
Qi's father said cheerfully, "I didn't originally. I just bought it two days ago. My daughter-in-law's natal family is here. I can't live like relatives in the autumn wind and not leave when I come back later, right? Besides, this stepdaughter and biological daughter are the same.
It’s different. As a human being, you have to be self-aware.”
Words such as fighting against the autumn wind and staying here without leaving irritated Gu. She said sharply, "It can't be a courtyard in the suburbs, right?"
The tone was sinister.
Father Qi didn't seem to hear it, and looked serious, "The suburbs are too far away. Going home is like catching up. How can that be done?"
Everyone was confused, and the old lady asked with a smile, "We are in-laws now, and we will have to move around in the future. Where do you live now?"
Qi's father cheerfully pointed out his hand, "This is the fifth house on this street. I just want to live close to your family so that it will be convenient for my daughter-in-law to return to her parents' house in the future... It's a bit small. I only entered it twice, but it's a pity that this street is...
That empty house..."
too small?
Everyone was a little confused, and they had an answer in their minds, but unfortunately they couldn't believe it. The houses on this street were very expensive, and the richest families in the city lived there.
Even if it's a house with two people, it's not a little money. The second lady couldn't accept it the most, and asked sharply, "Didn't you say you want to go to the fields?"
"Yes," Qi's father said cheerfully, "I go to work in the fields every year."
Everyone: "..." I suspect you are cheating on us, and there is evidence. Why would you buy a house if you can afford it?
