Chen Laosan is a scoundrel. This marriage could not be canceled before, but now it is impossible to cancel it.
Where can the Yu family get five taels of silver now?
Her daughter had a lot of resentment against her because of this marriage. Ms. Zhang knew in her heart that this resentment could not be dissipated until she canceled the marriage. If she wanted to cancel the engagement, she would have to get money, and the Yu family couldn't get the money, which formed a deadlock.
.
Her daughter's resentment cannot be resolved, and she cannot rely on her daughter at all. Even if her daughter does not complain, would that scoundrel Chen Laosan be willing to support his mother-in-law?
Mrs. Zhang seemed to be able to see her old days now. She felt so panicked that she couldn't suppress the smell of blood, so she vomited it out.
Chu Yunli stepped back and was a little surprised, "Sister-in-law, you seem to have an internal injury. Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?"
Ms. Zhang was devastated after her son was taken away. She was frightened and had never had a good night's sleep. She was depressed and had a bad temper. She also knew that she might be sick.
But where does the Yu family still have money to hire a doctor?
In the past, because there were three scholars in the family, even though the Yu family had many debts, everyone was still willing to lend them money. Even if they didn't lend it, they would still greet them. But now, the courtyard is slammed shut before anyone approaches, no matter how hard they knock.
Neither is open.
Let alone borrowing money, they are not willing to interact with the Yu family at all.
Yu Yanyan never came out of the room, and even though Mrs. Zhang vomited blood, she was not seen moving.
Mrs. Zhang knew that her daughter was in the house and must have heard the noise outside, but she never came out from the beginning to the end... She closed her eyes, feeling more and more desperate, "Are you trying to make me angry because you see me in despair?"
Chu Yunli nodded with a smile, "Yes! I hate you! I'm happy to see you down and out!"
Zhang: "..."
Looking at Zhang's ugly face, Chu Yunli was quite happy, "By the way, why didn't you see anyone else?"
"Dad and eldest brother left for the city two days ago."
The person who answered was Yu Chengfu who came out of the side room, "Come in, it's cold outside."
Chu Yunli nodded, "What about the second brother and second sister-in-law?"
Yu Chengfu shook his head, "I never came back."
The county town is currently investigating the leak of exam questions, and has not yet started investigating the case of defrauding money and materials from the homes of various scholars. However, the Yamen has taken over the case and will come to arrest them sooner or later.
The family entered the house while talking, but did not see Ms. Zhang behind her clenching her hands when she heard the second room.
After the New Year, life was quite peaceful. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a government official suddenly came from the town. This time he was wearing a black and red shirt and carrying a broadsword on his waist. He went straight to Zhiwei Building and Yu's house, and drove the two families together.
Everyone was taken away. Even the second room mate who had taken refuge in the Zhao family, not even Yaozu and Jibao were left behind.
Because of this, Zhiweilou is still closed.
Chu Yunli didn't go out of his way to inquire. Half a month later, the owner of Zhiwei Building and his family came back. Apart from being haggard, there was nothing else. As for the second young master, he failed to come back. He and Yu Guangzong bought the examination questions. The two deliberately
Deceiving an official, the evidence is solid, and he will be imprisoned for thirty years.
But Yu's father and Yu Chengcai failed to come back. They defrauded more than one hundred taels of silver without paying back the money. The law was strict, and all three of them were imprisoned for ten years. Yu Guangzong himself was also charged with deceiving officials, which was enough for him to be imprisoned.
Forty years.
Only Ms. Lin was left, bringing Ms. Zhang, Yu Yanyan, and the second room's family back.
Nowadays, the citizenship examination attaches great importance to the origin of the scholar. There is Yu Guangzong in the Yu family who deliberately bought the examination questions to deceive the officials. From now on, the two brothers Yu Jizu will no longer be able to take the county examination, and they will be removed from the examination when the parentage is checked.
Therefore, both Zhang and Zhao, who came back from the county seat, were full of resentment towards each other.
After this incident, Mrs. Lin fell ill before she got home and was bedridden immediately after she got home.
This time, the Yamen of the Yu family were taken to the county seat. It was easy to go there because they were directly bundled into the carriage and taken away. However, when they were released, they were thrown directly at the gate of the County Yamen.
The Yu family had no choice but to escape unscathed. They couldn't go in and find the county magistrate to send them home!
In the end, it was Zhao who pawned the jewelry, and the family found a bullock cart and had a bumpy journey back. The reason why Lin became so ill after coming back may have something to do with the bumps.
When an old man is sick, if he is filial, he must seek medical advice.
But now the Yu family does not have the capital to be filial. Even if they can afford a doctor, they cannot afford medicine. The most important thing is that there is not much food left in the family now, and spring plowing is about to begin, and most of the people working this year have been reduced.
…
In the afternoon of this day, Mrs. Zhao came to the door and said, "Brothers and sisters, is it time to deliver the hundred catties of grain that you gave to your parents as a tribute?"
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly, "It's not even a year yet."
"They have to be delivered sooner or later!" Ms. Zhao said righteously, "I won't hide it from you. My family is very poor now. My mother has been ill recently and wants to eat well, but we can't help it. If you send me the food, I can too.
I plan to make my mother eat it smoothly."
Chu Yunli looked surprised, "Mom is sick? Then I have to take a look! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Zhao: "..."
This younger sibling had dared to attack her elders before. What's the use of telling her when she's sick?
Chu Yunli told her through actions that it really worked. She went to the dim sum shop opposite and asked for a package of dim sum, took the three sisters with her, closed the shop and returned to the village.
The last time the government officials arrested someone, they did not arrest the third room. Now the charges in the case have been determined. It has been determined that it has nothing to do with the third room, so when the mother and daughter went out, someone greeted them again.
At this moment, seeing the whole family out in action, someone asked out of curiosity, "Where are you going?"
Chu Yunli had a sad look on her face, "The child has a breast disease, let's go back and take a look."
Now that Yu Liang has a different identity, people are talking about her wherever they go. As they go from the town to the village, everyone along the way knows that Lin is ill, and the mother and daughter went back from the town to visit her.
Many people had witnessed the partiality of the Yu family in the past, but they didn't expect that now that they were ill in bed, this third-bedroom daughter-in-law would still be willing to take her daughter back for a visit. She was really filial.
The filial daughter-in-law of the third wife entered the main room of the Yu family and saw Mrs. Lin lying on the bed with a haggard appearance. She asked curiously, "How many days have you been unconscious? She looks like she is dead."
Zhao: "..." Sure enough, we can't expect anything from her!
There was a heavy look on his face, and he sighed, "It's been two days and I haven't woken up yet."
Hearing this, Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile.
Everyone knows that if this old man is seriously ill and unconscious and cannot even drink water, he will only have a few days to live at most. And just now Zhao actually asked her to send food... This is because Lin is still alive.
In the last few days, I will take advantage again.
Originally, with the current relationship between the three brothers, if the Lin family was gone and Yu's father was still in prison, it would be equivalent to being gone. The third house would definitely not send any more food.
"Have you asked the doctor?" Chu Yunli sat on the edge of the bed and stretched out his hand to pinch Lin's body, "What can I do if I'm unconscious? I still need to get up to eat?"
She was cruel, and not long after, she saw Mrs. Lin open her eyes. She was very weak. It took her a long time to see the person in front of her clearly, "From the third family?"
Probably because she hadn't spoken for a long time, her voice was hoarse.
Chu Yunli nodded, "Mom, my second sister-in-law said you are seriously ill. I brought Yu'er and the others back to see you."
Mrs. Lin looked at the people beside her, felt dizzy, and closed her eyes again.
Chu Yunli sat on the edge and ordered the three sisters to go out.
She knew that Mrs. Lin was not fainted, and said with emotion: "I have heard about everything in the family, and I knew that Guangzong was not a good person, and sooner or later he would drag down the whole family. Unexpectedly, the guess came true, and both my father and eldest brother were attracted by him.
I was imprisoned, and my second brother was also implicated so much that my two children will no longer be able to take the county examination. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and separated the family early..."
Mrs. Lin suddenly opened her eyes and stared at her.
Mrs. Zhang next to me also looked ugly.
Chu Yunli didn't take it seriously and continued, "Mom, I don't understand why you still work so hard to send such a bastard to study. What will he do with it?"
Even if Mrs. Lin knew that she was wrong, it was not her turn to be scolded by a junior, especially in front of her most hated daughter-in-law, who said angrily, "Get out!"
Chu Yunli shook his head, "Mom, I brought the three sisters back to see you. Many people said that I have a filial piety."
Mrs. Lin was furious. If the person in front of her was filial, there would be no unfilial person in the world. After all, there are not many people who would pinch her mother-in-law's neck.
Seeing that her eyes were about to burst out with fire, Chu Yunli was delighted and said, "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, my mother immediately became energetic when I was angry. It seems that my method worked."
The two sisters-in-law: "..."
Is this the way to go?
This is obviously intentional to piss off the old lady!
However, it has nothing to do with them whether the old lady dies or not. She still needs them to take care of her while she is alive. It might be better if she dies, so she doesn't bother to care.
Chu Yunli continued, "I wonder how dad and eldest brother are doing in prison? We are too far away and can't deliver food..."
Mrs. Lin fainted again.
She was already too sick to faint, but she was choked awake by Chu Yunli for such a long time, and she was so angry that she didn't even have a mouthful of porridge. Wouldn't she have to faint?
Feeling faint, Chu Yunli clapped her hands and stood up, "I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
When she went out, she took the snacks she brought and walked with her. Mrs. Zhang glanced at them and said nothing. Mrs. Zhao couldn't help it, "Brother and sister, you bought this for your mother! Why do you want to take it away again?"
Chu Yunli looked at the paper bag and then at Mrs. Lin on the bed, "Mom can't even drink porridge, how can she still eat snacks?"
Zhao: "..."
There is no law that stipulates that food given during a visit must be given to the patient!
Yaozu and Jibao have been eating rice bran vegetables with them these days, and they haven't eaten eggs for a long time... I didn't expect that she earns so much money and is still so picky!
Chu Yunli was not short of this snack, but she didn't want the two sisters-in-law to take advantage of her. In the past ten years, Li Fengxi had paid enough, and now he didn't want to give them even a penny!
The next morning, Yu Chengfu arrived in town and said, "My mother is gone."
Chu Yunli was a little surprised, "When did it not happen?"
Mrs. Lin looked quite energetic yesterday, so she probably wouldn't die so soon.
Yu Chengfu wiped his face, feeling a little sad but more relaxed, "When my sister-in-law got up in the morning, my mother was already out of breath." His voice was lowered, "My body has become hard."
Chu Yunli is the daughter-in-law, and the three sisters are granddaughters. No matter what their previous relationship was like, now that Lin is gone, they should all go back.
Mr. Lin was lying on the bed and had indeed been dead for a long time.
The head of Liucun Village, who was Lin's brother, rushed over after hearing the news and took care of the funeral. When the deceased was changing clothes, Zhang and Zhao squeezed in front and asked Chu Yunli to hand over the clothes.
Chu Yunli didn't care. She only felt disgusted with Mrs. Lin and didn't want to come forward at all.
While they were changing, the door was pushed open, and Sister-in-law Lin came in and asked who of them bought the mourning cloth.
Mrs. Zhang and Ms. Zhao were a little nervous, "You helped buy it, and we will give you the money when the time comes."
Sister-in-law Lin agreed and turned around to go out. She glanced out of the corner of her eye and suddenly rushed to the bed. Seeing clearly the bruises on Mrs. Lin's body, she became furious and said, "You bastard!"
Then, she ran out and found the village chief who was looking for help. "My sister is covered with injuries. These two daughters-in-law... these two daughters-in-law... are simply not human beings!"
Chu Yunli took a look and saw that Lin's body and shoulders were covered with pinch marks. The pale skin was even more shocking. She looked at Zhao and Zhang, "Which one of you pinched me?"
"It's not me!" The two of them said in unison, and after looking at each other, they both looked away.
Have you pinched everything together?
Chu Yunli looked outside and said, "You should think about how to explain it to your uncle. If this matter comes out... Sister-in-law, okay, second sister-in-law, you will still have to marry a daughter-in-law in the future. If they follow suit, pinch
