After the kitchen was ready, Chu Yunli started to open the business. It happened to be the market two days later, and it was the best day to open.
Before that, she had to move in with her three sisters.
Many people in town have heard about the purchase of a shop, but the families in the village don't know yet. The Yu family has become increasingly anxious to raise money from everywhere recently. Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhao almost broke their legs, so they didn't even get a loan.
, instead someone came to collect debts.
Chu Yunli was packing things at home with her three sisters. The beddings were too old and she planned to buy them again. She was a little reluctant to part with the remaining food. The main reason was that she felt that a lot of money had been spent on buying a shop and renovating it. The purchase of bedding could be put off later.
.
She was persuading her mother when she heard a bang outside.
Chu Yunli went out and saw several people coming in aggressively with hoes, "Pay off the debt! It must be paid back today!"
Mrs. Lin and the others all came out, laughing and talking softly.
A few people ignored it. When they saw the pot here, they sneered, "If you don't return it, don't blame us for taking action!"
Chu Yunli said casually, "We have separated, and this pot belongs to me. You have to be careful with that hoe!"
The visitor sneered, "I don't care whether you separate the families or not, it's your Yu family that owes me anyway."
He raised the hoe high and was about to hit it. Chu Yunli picked up the pole at hand and hit him. The pole hit him hard on the arm holding the hoe. His hand suddenly went limp and the hoe fell to the ground. He covered his arm and screamed in pain.
When the remaining people saw this, they were immediately angry, "Our family is waiting for this money to save lives! If we don't pay back the money we owe, it's reasonable, right?"
Someone shouted, "Repay it, you must pay it back today. If you don't pay it back, our brothers will sit here and not leave!"
"We are separated. It's none of our business if she beats someone up!" Lin shied away, "It's not that we won't pay it back. If Guangzong comes back after taking the exam in another six months, we will definitely pay it back."
"My mother can't wait..."
"Auntie, it would be great if you could pay back the money just as readily as when we borrowed it. You can't do this..."
Those few people probably knew something about the Yu family's situation, and they only gathered around Lin to ask for help.
Chu Yunli looked at the pot that was almost smashed and said, "Her father, take the pot into the door."
Yu Chengfu was looking at his mother worriedly, wondering if he should go over to help. After hearing this, he immediately stepped forward to remove the pot. He was still looking at the next door and asked doubtfully, "Are you not doing business anymore?"
Chu Yunli didn't answer, "Laidi, go to Third Grandpa's house and ask him to drive the bullock cart to take us off."
Laidi's eyes lit up. She had long wanted to move to the town, so she immediately responded with a clear voice and ran away.
Yu Chengfu moved the pot into the door and said in a low voice, "The Lin family brothers who are asking for debt are because their aunt is ill, and they are taking the money back to treat the illness." He paused, and when his wife did not answer, he continued, "Auntie
That person is pretty good. He lent me a lot of money to my elder brother. Now he is sick. Can we lend him some money? It’s important to treat the illness first."
He didn't mention helping the Yu family, but only said that he wanted to save people. Chu Yunli looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile, "My dear mother, do you need to worry about me?"
Yu Chengfu was silent for a long time and said, "As a fellow villager, if you have money, please help as much as you can. Who hasn't had a time when you need help?"
Chu Yunli shook his head, "It's not that I won't help. But what if they pay off the debt directly after giving this money?"
Yu Chengfu was speechless.
Chu Yunli looked outside and said, "Don't worry, they have several brothers. If they really want to save people, even if they can't collect the debt, so many in-laws can help each other, and it's enough to seek medical advice. Besides, maybe they are just
I'm using this excuse to collect debt."
Hearing this, Yu Chengfu felt slightly relieved. He saw the mother and daughter packing their things, not only their clothes, but also the pots and pans outside, which were piled up and tied up with ropes. He asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"
?”
"Move!" Yu Liang was excited, "Dad, our family doesn't have money to help others, because my mother bought a yard in the town two days ago, and we will all move there in the future. It is spacious, and we can live in a room each.
There are so many. Mom even bought us a carved bed..."
When he heard that he was moving, Yu Chengfu's mind was in a mess, with joy mixed with uneasiness, "Moving to the town?"
Chu Yunli glanced at him and said, "To be honest, I don't want to live in this shabby wing of your house for a long time. It's so dark that there's no light. If you don't want to move, you can stay. Anyway, these two rooms are both
It’s from our family.”
Yu Chengfu: "..."
Of course he wanted to move.
"Wait for me!" He quickly went back and packed up his bed, and then helped to clean it up.
Not long after, the oxcart came, and the family bundled things onto the oxcart. There was quite a lot of movement, and all the neighbors saw it. In fact, when the Lin family brothers came over, they had been quietly paying attention to the movement here. You know, by borrowing
There are not just one or two families with money from the Yu family. If the Lin family brothers can collect their debts, so can they!
I originally wanted to see the results of the debt collection, but unexpectedly I saw the move, and they all came out to ask, "Where are you going?"
Chu Yunli smiled and said, "If we move to town, it will be the grain and seed shop on the main street."
Everyone was surprised, and a woman suddenly realized, "I went there two days ago and saw someone renovating inside. I was just thinking about selling grain seeds, so what kind of house should I build? So that shop now belongs to your family?"
She asked this question very skillfully. If it was rented, she would probably explain it at this time.
Chu Yunli smiled and nodded, "If you want to eat soy sauce meat from now on, go there, it's available from morning to night. Besides, I can cook some vegetarian dishes, which are cheap and taste good. Remember to come and try them."
Immediately, someone asked how cheap it was and what kind of vegetarian dishes it was. The discussion at the door was lively. But there was a confrontation in the yard, and the atmosphere was stagnant and the contrast was sharp.
After Mrs. Lin heard what was being discussed at the door, she was surprised and asked, "Where did you get the money?"
Chu Yunli replied casually, "I earned it."
It happened that someone mentioned that there were several rooms behind the grain and seed shop, and swore that she had been there before. Mrs. Lin was furious and asked, "You have money to buy a yard, but you don't want to help Guangzong?"
In front of outsiders, Chu Yunli is not afraid to talk, mainly because the situation is different now. Although everyone knew what happened to Boss Chen in the past, but if the girl is not married, no one can guarantee that she will not live well. At that time, she seemed to be noisy
She is making trouble unreasonably. Now that Yu's misery is right in front of her, it is Lin's fault for making trouble.
She said coldly, "I worked hard for the past ten years and couldn't eat well or wear well. What happened in the end? You actually want to marry my daughter to the Chen family. If Yu Guangzong has a conscience,
, he should refuse! But he didn’t even fart, so you can count on such a white-eyed wolf!”
"I have children myself, and I gave them all to him. What should I do with my daughter? Should I sell them all in exchange for betrothal gifts and give them to him to study?"
Mrs. Lin was shocked and angry. She never expected that this woman would say these words in front of everyone to smear Guangzong's reputation. She immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense. I decided Yu'er's marriage. What's the matter with Guangzong?"
Chu Yunli asked back, "Aren't you marrying Yu'er just because the four taels of bride price can be used to support Guangzong? There is no reason in the world to sell your daughter from the third house to subsidize the big house."
She tied the things onto the bullock cart and looked at the onlookers, "Everyone has seen how the Yu family has lived over the years. The third family deserves to be a cow and a horse! My fault is that I failed to give birth to a son for the Yu family, but my
Daughters are right! When they are born into the Yu family, should they exchange betrothal gifts for their cousins? Brothers and sisters shouldn’t be so partial, right?"
A woman agreed, "Then the Chen family is indeed not a good place to go, but fortunately the ancestors showed up..."
Everyone was talking a lot.
Mrs. Lin's face turned pale. She also knew that she had treated the third bedroom harshly, but who told her that there was no boy in the third bedroom? If there was one, he would definitely have sent him to study!
The preference for sons over daughters exists in every family, but no one is as obvious as the Yu family. Boys are treasures, and daughters are objects that can be bought and sold. The most terrible thing is that if there are scholars in the family, if this fig leaf is removed, they will have to
In the middle of the book, someone will read it out and discuss it. The better you read the book, the more people will discuss it.
This is like a stain, having to follow my three grandchildren for the rest of their lives!
Lin's mind suddenly pounded, and she immediately rushed over, "You're talking nonsense! I'll tear your mouth apart."
Naturally, Chu Yunli wouldn't let her tear her apart, and everyone around her also started to start a fight, "Don't fight..."
There were so many people watching that Lin struggled for a long time but couldn't get close to her daughter-in-law. A woman shouted, "Younger, please leave quickly. It'll be fine if you leave."
Chu Yunli thanked her and climbed onto the bullock cart. The uncle driving the bullock cart didn't ask any questions and just slapped the cow's butt, causing the cow to start trotting.
Chu Yunli sat in the back, watching the chaos of the Yu family getting further and further away from her, feeling very happy. She clutched her chest and realized that Li Fengxi had always wanted to leave the Yu family.
Two-quarters of an hour later, the bullock cart arrived in the town, and soon stopped in front of the new shop. The third uncle was still helping to unload the goods. Seeing that Yu Chengfu remained silent, he sighed, "Your parents did it for that scholar's business."
The reputations are crazy. You are right to move out and live a good life in the future. We farmers only farm the land for food, so how can it be so easy to pass the exam? The scholar in our town only passed the exam when he was in his forties.
Think about it, even Guangzong..."
He slapped his tongue and said, "I'm talking nonsense. If your mother hears this, she will tear my mouth apart."
After the third uncle finished unloading the things, he waved his hand and left without asking for any money.
Yu Chengfu was full of joy in his heart. If Guangzong won the prize at the age of forty, he would still have more than twenty years left... As soon as he entered the door, he heard three girls giggling and grabbing the house in the backyard, "This is mine!"
