When Li Fengxi, wearing patchwork clothes and a thin and sad face, appeared in front of him, for a moment Chu Yunli almost didn't recognize that it was the face he had used for half his life.
The smile on Li Fengxi's eyebrows softened most of his sorrow, and his smile gradually dissipated.
Lee Bong Hee’s Resentment: 500
Yu Liang’s Resentment: 500
Yu Daidi’s resentment: 500
Yu Laidi’s resentment: 500
Good value: 175260+1000
Although there were not many good deeds, Chu Yunli was not disappointed. With her three daughters by her side, she lived a very comfortable life.
Her body sank. When Chu Yunli opened her eyes, she found that her eyes were completely white, her clothes were also plain white, her eyes felt very uncomfortable, and her chest was filled with grief.
She was kneeling and raised her hands to touch her face. Her hands were wet and she was crying.
He glanced up and saw that in front of him was the mourning hall. She was kneeling in the middle, and she seemed to be a widow.
Well, I’m a widow this time!
Looking at the fair and delicate skin on my hands, it seems to be quite young, no more than thirty.
There were still cries coming from the surroundings, which was not suitable for receiving memories. Chu Yunli raised her hand. The next moment, a maid came over to hold her hand, "Madam, do you want to take a rest?"
Chu Yunli lowered her eyes and whispered, "My stomach hurts."
The maid understood instantly, helped her out of the mourning hall, and walked quickly to the yard next door.
Chu Yunli sat on the clean and fragrant porridge, leaned against the wall and closed her eyes.
The Luo family in Pingzhou City has been a well-known wealthy businessman for decades. The family's descendants are prosperous and can be found in various surrounding cities. The family has a huge business and the Luo family can develop like this because the family has strict rules and attaches great importance to their descendants.
Both men and women will receive a sum of money when they reach adulthood, more for direct descendants and less for concubines, either as capital or dowry, which can be regarded as a capital for children and grandchildren to settle down and live.
Every child has already received his own share of benefits when he is born. Boys do not have to compete for family wealth and daughters do not have to compete for dowry. Therefore, there are few disputes in the clan.
There is also a joke in the city that "if you marry a daughter of the Luo family, you will be happy for half your life".
Her original name was Luo Zhiniang, the daughter of the third daughter of the Luo family. She also received her own money when she was sixteen years old. At that time, she already had a sweetheart. After receiving the eight hundred taels of silver, she did not do business.
Half a year later, she used the money as a dowry and married into the Gao family.
The Gao family is an ordinary merchant in the city with a shallow foundation. Gao Mingzhe, the eldest son of Gao, is very good-looking and has a gentle temper. They met several times before they got married. Although they did not explain it, they both had a good impression of each other. After getting married, they lived a sweet life.
Just two years later, the eldest son Gao Youan was born, and three years later, the second daughter Gao Yousi was born.
After receiving Luo Zhiniang's dowry and with the help of the Luo family, Gao Mingzhe's business grew bigger and bigger. For more than ten years, the Gao family had a place in the city.
But things didn't go as planned. When his son Gao Youan was ten years old, Gao Mingzhe was escorting a batch of goods out. He originally planned to come back to celebrate his son's birthday, but he was delayed on the way and was about to miss it. Gao Mingzhe didn't want to wait any longer.
, so he took the first step with his entourage.
At that time, we were close to Pingzhou, and there should be no bandits along the way. I thought nothing would happen. Unexpectedly, thirty miles outside the city, the horse suddenly went crazy and ran wildly with the carriage. In the end, the horse took the carriage and
All the people in the carriage fell off the cliff.
After hearing the news, the Gao family searched for seven days and seven nights before they finally approached the cliff and found a large piece of blood-red carriage carriage broken into pieces at the foot of the cliff.
Although it was known that there was no chance of survival, it was truly confirmed that the whole Gao family was filled with sadness. Gao's father and mother sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man and fainted immediately.
The deceased was dead, but the Gao family still endured their grief and held a funeral for their son.
The funeral is over, but the matter is not over yet.
Luo Zhiniang was a daughter-in-law with young children. If Gao Mingzhe had not died, most of the Gao family's property would have belonged to Dafang. But now that Dafang was weak, Gao Mingzhe's second and third brothers started to have ideas, and they fought openly and secretly.
Wanting to take over the family business, Gao's father looked on with cold eyes. For him, it didn't matter which son the family property was given to. He even turned around and persuaded his eldest daughter-in-law to be at ease and wait until Gao Youan came of age and then give him the family property.
Is there any reason why the meat swallowed by the jackal should be spit out again?
The Gao family has such a large property, not only because of Gao Mingzhe's business skills, but also because of Luo Zhiniang's dowry.
That was the capital that the Luo family gave her to settle down and live in. It could be given to her own man and children, but to her brother-in-law... How could Luo Zhiniang be willing to do so?
Even for her son, she still has to fight.
As a daughter of the Luo family, a dedicated teacher taught her various ways of doing business since she was a child. Five years later, when Luo Zhiniang and her two brothers-in-law were maintaining a delicate balance, Gao Mingzhe returned.
It turned out that he fell off the cliff and did not fall with his horse and entourage at all. He jumped out and hung on a tree and was rescued. However, he injured his head and lost his memory, and he only recovered recently.
During that period, he also married a wife and even gave birth to a son.
"Madam, are you okay?"
The maid's worried voice came.
Chu Yunli stood up, held her forehead, blinked and regained some energy, straightened her clothes, "I'm fine, I'll be out soon."
Returning to the mourning hall again, when Chu Yunli passed by the two children, he ordered, "Take the young master and the young lady back to rest."
Gao Youan will be ten years old this year, which is the age where he is half-informed. His grandparents and two uncles all said that he killed his father. He is apologizing, but he is unwilling to do anything. "Just take your sister to bed. I will watch over you."
Daddy."
Gao Yousi is seven years old this year. He has been favored since he was a child. Recently, the atmosphere at home has been wrong. The child is the most emotionally sensitive. He has noticed the subtle differences in how everyone in the family treats her. When his brother refuses to leave, he refuses to leave. Looking at Chu Yunli, he is about to cry.
Cry, "Mom, I'm scared."
Chu Yunli sighed, stretched out his hand to pull up the two children, and personally took them back to their room.
I knelt for another day, which was the last day. During this period, people came to express condolences from time to time, including many people from the Luo family.
After the funeral was over, Chu Yunli breathed a sigh of relief. She could bear it, but the two and a half-year-old children were really pitiful. The children with two and three bedrooms were small, and they were only uncles, so they did not need to be guarded all the time like them.
.
At night, Chu Yunli told the maid not to call her the next day, and she was just about to have a good sleep. Unexpectedly, she was woken up at dawn the next day.
"Madam, I invite you."
Chu Yunli got up and got dressed. Now that she was in Xiaozhong, her clothes were simple. After packing, she went directly to the nursing home.
There weren't many people in the room, everyone who needed to be there was there.
The two elders of the Gao family, the couple with two and three bedrooms, but none of their children are here.
Father Gao got straight to the point: "I came here to tell you that the managers will be here later, but our business should be left to Ming Fang and Ming Yu first."
"I don't agree." Chu Yunli replied like Luo Zhiniang in her previous life, "I can also do business."
"What do you call this?" Gao Mu was dissatisfied, "You are a prostitute, but you are also a filial piety. If you go out and show your face, wouldn't you make people gossip?"
Chu Yunli asked, "Which daughter of the Luo family is not doing business in public? Has anyone in the city said anything?"
Most of them are proud to marry a daughter of the Luo family.
If you dislike it, you shouldn’t have married her in the first place!
Father Gao disagreed and said, "But you are in filial piety..."
Chu Yunli immediately said, "What's wrong with Xiaozhong? Xiaozhong doesn't make money or eat?"
Her tone was aggressive, and Gao Mu frowned, "I know you are grieving, but you still have to live your life. Once you become a prostitute, don't get involved. It should be You'an's, and no one will snatch it from him."
"Don't rob?" Chu Yunli looked at the two brothers beside him, "If you don't rob, why are you yelling at me to come over? Just be honest and wait for the separation."
Everyone: "..."
Gao Mingfang asked in a deep voice, "What if you lose the money?"
Chu Yunli replied smoothly, "This is my dowry, and I will pay for it if I accompany you. Do I still have to give you an explanation?"
Gao Mingfang: "..."
How can the Gao family feel relieved when they say this?
She didn't even look good. I didn't expect that my daughter-in-law, who had always been obedient, would become like this after her son left.
Chu Yunli ignored their expressions and continued, "Both men and women in our Luo family have learned how to do business since they were young. I have taken care of my husband and raised my children all these years because he is my man. Now that he is gone, I have never left the dowry."
The reason is to leave it to others to take care of. If you want to get involved, you have to ask the Luo family!"
This last sentence is the most important.
If it weren't for the fact that a lot of the Gao family's business was related to the Luo family, they wouldn't have asked Luo Zhiniang for her opinion here. In her previous life, she was able to control 70% of the Gao family's business, and it was because the Luo family was willing to help.
Because the Luo family only recognized her, the two brothers ignored her at all.
I saw her fainting several times in the past few days, and I thought she couldn't muster up the energy to take care of these things, so today I wanted to take advantage of her grief to settle the matter. As long as I have her permission, it will be easy to do in the future.
Who would have thought that this woman was so distraught that she still clung to her business? She was indeed a merchant!
Gao Mingfang was confused, "Sister-in-law, have you misunderstood us?"
In the past, the relationship between the family was pretty good. Although there was some dissatisfaction between the sisters-in-law, on the whole it was still okay. Moreover, most of the dissatisfaction was caused by the jealousy of the two lower sisters-in-law.
"If you didn't want to help me share my worries, there would be no misunderstanding between us." Chu Yunli said in a serious tone, "But if you force me like this, there will be problems between us. I even doubt that your eldest brother will die without you.
His handiwork!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the whole family changed.
Father Gao looked cautious, "That's absolutely not the case!"
