After that day, neither the Lin family nor the He family came to the town to look for Chu Yunli again.
However, when I went to the market a few days later, I met people from the village who came to buy soy meat. The woman said mysteriously, "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law are having a family separation recently!"
Chu Yunli was a little surprised, "For what?"
Her parents were still living together, so Lin let go and separated into three rooms because she was afraid of being beaten again, and because she couldn't control the four of them, mother and daughter, and didn't want to raise them in vain.
The other two houses had some disagreements privately, but on the surface they were doing fine, and logically there was no reason to separate the families.
The woman got the meat and was quite satisfied with the half piece of tofu that Di Duo had packed in. She stood aside and said with a smile, "Nowadays, the big house has a bad reputation. Your second sister-in-law is probably afraid of being implicated."
Yes, Mr. Zhang did such a thing and dragged down Yu Guangzong. But the second brother's brother was still fine. If he didn't want to be dragged down, he had to separate the family.
Chu Yunli understood, "Is it divided?"
Just like what she said once, if the three sisters from the third room marry poorly, it will affect Yu Guangzong and the others, but as long as one family is separated, they are people from other families, and the impact is limited.
Therefore, it is now time for Zhao to dislike what Zhang did and separate from them.
"The two of them are quarreling every day, and they don't seem to object to the separation of the family." The woman moved closer, so as not to disturb the person cutting the meat in front of her, and continued, "But you also know about the Yu family. There are so many foreign debts.
, when a family is divided, debts will be shared. Your elder sister-in-law said that she has to provide for her parents in old age, and the two scholars in your second sister-in-law’s family spend a lot of money, so they should pay off more debts. But your second sister-in-law also said that Guangzong studied early, and the family was not poor at that time.
, and a lot of money was spent on him. The two young men can still help with the work with the big house, so your sister-in-law should pay off more debts. "
"It all seems reasonable. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't agree to split up the family, so the matter has reached a stalemate."
Chu Yunli nodded, "Did Yu'er's father come forward to break up the fight?"
The woman thought for a while and said, "I didn't see that. I'm probably too busy to take care of it." Then she talked about Yu Chengfu, "He's really busy. He's planted a lot of people's land in the village recently and sown all of them with vegetable seeds."
, it is said that he was raised to feed the pigs, and he is really patient.”
The two sisters nearby heard these words. When they finished their work, Yu Liang asked curiously, "Mom, do you want to go back and take a look?"
Chu Yunli pondered: "I won't go. We have already separated our families. Even if they fight, it's none of our business."
Maybe her fierceness frightened the Yu family, but they didn't come to see Chu Yunli anyway. I often heard that the Yu family was quarreling, but the quarrels lasted for a long time, and the family was still divided.
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-October, and as soon as a few autumn rains fell, the weather turned cold. People in several nearby villages were cutting firewood to sell, and Chu Yunli set aside a special area and bought a lot.
In winter, when the weather is freezing, firewood is hard to buy. Besides, even if they don’t braise the meat, they still have to grill it themselves. Since they have to burn the fire for a long time every day, they haven’t saved much charcoal yet and have already filled several jars.
.When winter comes, you can light it in the house.
In the past, even if the Yu family used charcoal, it would not reach the third bedroom. Most of the charcoal would be burned in the study.
Chu Yunli didn't have a good impression of the three scholars in the Yu family at all. They occupied the best resources in the family but had no basic respect for the family members.
By the end of October, before the separation of the Yu family had been revealed, the town had already received news that two of the scholars in the town who went to the county seat to take the exam this year were selected as scholar.
When the news came out, everyone was talking about it, and it spread to every village in an instant.
One of the two newly-minted talents is the second young master of Zhiweilou, and the other is Yu Guangzong.
In the eyes of everyone, Zhiwei House is a wealthy family. It passed the exam normally, so almost no one talks about it. The person who talks about it the most is Yu Guangzong.
Over the years, the Yu family has tightened their belts for three scholars and owed a lot of debt. They also drove the third daughter-in-law crazy because they wanted to get a large betrothal gift for the third-bedroom girl. Now she is not crazy, but she has a big temper.
Changed, and almost fell out with the second room and the first room.
If I have a good relationship with Chu Yunli, I'm a little worried about whether she will be settled by the queen of the house. If I don't have a good relationship, I'm just waiting to see her jokes.
Chu Yunli's mentality was very stable and she was not afraid at all.
What puzzled her was that this time in her previous life, Yu Guangzong failed at all. Even the three sisters were all married off because of betrothal gifts. Yu Guangzong took the exam three times, and even Yu Yaozu took the exam once, but they all failed.
In the end, when all three sisters died violently, even the only granddaughter could not be saved because of her illness, and when Li Fengxi died of mental and physical exhaustion, Yu Guangzong won the child's life.
So, how did he win this time?
In the previous life, the financial difficulties were not so difficult. The Chen family proposed marriage, and the Yu family agreed and received the betrothal gift. Not long after, Yu Guangzong set off for the county seat, and then failed the application, and then failed again and again. Later, the Yu family was happy to have a child.
Incredibly, everyone praised him.
Chu Yunli put a question mark in his mind about his reputation. To say that he was knowledgeable enough was just due to bad luck. There was no reason for him to be unlucky three times, right?
Then, it can only be that the knowledge is not enough! There is no reason that it was not enough in the previous life, but it is enough in this life.
This matter has been the most talked about in the villages and towns in the past few days. The three sisters have also heard a lot about it. Yu Liang is a little worried, "Mom, will the eldest brother come back and cause us trouble? Should we go and help the eldest brother first?"
Aunt, please apologize?"
It is impossible to apologize, not even in this life!
Chu Yunli waved her hand, "We don't need to do anything extra."
In the afternoon of this day, Chu Yunli was lighting a brazier in the shop, when Zhao arrived and said, "Third brother and sister, help me weigh half a catty of meat."
Speaking of which, this is the first time that the Yu family has come to buy her sauce pork. In other words, until now, the Yu family has never eaten her sauce pork.
Chu Yunli looked at her and said, "I won't do your business."
Mrs. Zhao was surprised, "Brother and sister, I'll give you a copper!"
Chu Yunli put the brazier away and said casually, "I don't lack that. I won't do the Yu family's business."
Zhao didn't believe it, "Have you heard about Guangzong's success in becoming a scholar?" If she had heard about it, she would have no reason not to accept him!
Chu Yunli nodded, "I heard." Thinking of something, she asked, "I heard that you were having a family separation some time ago?"
"What kind of families are we going to separate?" Mrs. Zhao waved her hand, "My sister-in-law and I had a few arguments that day, and we said a few words out of anger. How can we take our angry words seriously? Our parents are still living, and we are good parents. We are not unfilial.
Yes, of course it doesn’t matter. Don’t listen to what people outside are saying. Who doesn’t have a quarrel? They just listened to a few words and then spread the word."
Chu Yunli sat on the counter, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, it's better to divide it up."
Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly, "I do things in a measured way, I don't need you to remind me."
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly, "You better not regret it in the future!"
Seven or eight days after the news came out, the two scholars returned to the town. It was a very lively day. There were many people gathered from the entrance of the town to the street and all the way to Zhiwei Building and Liucun.
As a result, Chu Yunli's sauced meat business has also improved a lot, and the amount of sauced pork sold is almost the same as that of the market.
Chu Yunli was busy doing business and ignored the commotion outside. Yu Liang was a little uneasy, so he took the time to lower his voice and said, "Mom, my eldest brother seems to be generous, but in fact he holds grudges the most."
Li Fengxi only knew how to work and didn't get along with his eldest nephew much. Chu Yunli didn't get along much after he came. I asked out of curiosity, "Does he hold a grudge?"
Yu Liang's voice was thin, "One time when I was cleaning the study room, I dropped a piece of paper that he used to practice calligraphy on in the inkstone, and it became stained with ink and became unusable. As a result, he beat me up the next day and said that I had stolen his book.
."
Li Fengxi had memories of this incident. On that occasion, Yu Liang was beaten so badly that he knelt on the dirt floor in the yard outside for two hours. It was already winter, but he later caught a cold and developed a high fever, and almost lost his life.
As a result, the book was found later, under the shelf in the study. Yu Guangzong even carefully apologized to Yu Liang at that time.
But I have been beaten, I have knelt down, and my illness is over. What is the use of apologizing? Can I be beaten back?
In the end, I suffered the loss of being dumb.
But Li Fengxi really thought that the book was lost and the injustice was done to his daughter, and he had no idea that there was a previous relationship.
Chu Yunli sighed and touched Yu Liang's hair, "Don't worry, he can't bully you."
While he was talking, Yu Guangzong's carriage slowly passed by outside and stopped outside the shop. Yu Guangzong, still wearing the same green gown, stuck his head out and said with a gentle smile, "When I get home, I will hold a banquet to formally thank the folks.
Please show your respect to me when the time comes."
Everyone was overjoyed and agreed one after another.
After the carriage passed by, the crowd dispersed. Many people followed the carriage to Liu Village to watch the excitement. Even the mayor and the squire came to visit in person, and the stewards of Wenxiang Building and Zhiwei Building sent congratulatory gifts.
A scholar has a great influence on a remote town. On the second day, there is an endless stream of people going to the Yu family. Many people come to propose marriage to the three brothers. Especially Yu Guangzong, whoever marries him is a scholar. There are many
The little girl dressed up and walked around in front of Yu's house.
Although Chu Yunli didn't go back, there was no need to inquire about this information. We only knew it when everyone was talking about it when they bought the soy sauce meat in the morning.
The old lady next door privately advised her to go back and soften herself, not only for herself but also for the sake of the three sisters.
Chu Yunli thanked her for her kindness, "I have not wronged his mother. I am really of good character. People will not hold grudges even if I don't apologize. A really sensible person will still do it because of the things his mother has done."
Come to me and apologize. If you have bad conduct, I will just be humiliated."
