Not to mention how guilty He was, Chu Yunli then started to sort out the embroidery thread. The seven or eight taels of silver that Zhang Wanya had saved before were all given to Zhang's mother to keep. She only had some loose silver on hand, which she spent most of yesterday.
.
Zhang Wanya wanted to honor her parents, but Chu Yunli had no intention of returning them, so she could only think of ways to earn some money on her own, and she couldn't do anything because she didn't have enough money.
In the next few days, Chu Yunli spent the day embroidering. It was late autumn and the light in the house was not good. She basically moved the tables and chairs to the yard and embroidered outside.
She applied her own scar removal cream on her face, and her forehead and left side of her face were dark. At first glance, there were no scars, but she rubbed her face like that, and outsiders thought she was trying to cover up the scars.
During the day, the door of the Zhang family opened and closed, and people occasionally saw her. Gradually, word began to spread outside that Zhang Wanya's face was disfigured.
The disfigurement was a fact, and Chu Yunli was not afraid of people outside saying it. However, the rest of the Zhang family were very nervous, fearing that she would be uncomfortable if she found out.
Since Chu Yunli didn't go out, he didn't run into Xu Qingyue again. As for Yu Changfeng, he walked back and forth at the door first. Two days later, he brought a box of scar removal cream and sent it: "We are friends, and friends should
We care about each other, I bought everything, you have to accept it no matter what."
Chu Yunli took it with a smile, "Thank you."
She accepted it directly. Yu Changfeng was surprised and overjoyed, "Then I'll come back in two days... to see you."
After sending the people away, He came out of the kitchen and said, "Sister, who is this?"
Chu Yunli had always been very cold towards her, "Friends I met outside."
Mr. He hesitated to speak, retreated and continued working. Finally, he came over with tea, sat down opposite Chu Yunli, and said tentatively: "Sister, I am your sister-in-law, and I sincerely hope you are well. But now... this
There are too few men in the world who don't care about appearance. Does he have other ideas when he comes to you like this?"
Chu Yunli was running the needle in her hand without raising her head.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Mr. He continued: "Sister, although your appearance is ruined, your craftsmanship is good and you can support your family. Don't just do whatever you want just because of your appearance. Marriage is a major matter for your whole life.
Well, what will you do if you meet someone who takes a fancy to your skills?"
Even if you ignore her, she is still energetic. Chu Yunli finally raised her eyes: "I'm hungry, can you boil an egg for me?"
He: "..."
She had no choice but to get up and go to the kitchen. Not long after, Tian came back and went to the kitchen to drink water. He pulled her and whispered in a low voice.
Chu Yunli has a good ear and vaguely heard words such as "young people", "giving gifts", and "uneasy and well-intentioned".
Mrs. Tian was a little worried when she came out of the kitchen. She passed by Chu Yunli several times and hesitated to speak, but she still didn't say anything.
In the evening, when Mother Zhang came back, the two sisters went to talk to their mother-in-law. Mother Zhang was the one who was hesitant to speak.
At night, when Chu Yunli was about to go to bed, Zhang's mother opened the door and came in. She looked at the two large pieces of black plaster on her daughter's face through the weak candlelight, "Wanya, I heard that a young junior came to see you during the day?"
"Yeah." Chu Yunli leaned on the pillow and agreed casually.
Mother Zhang hesitated for a while, but still asked: "Is he..."
Chu Yunli smiled and said, "Mom, a young man who has not yet agreed to marry comes here to give a gift to a woman who has not yet arranged to marry. The purpose is obvious."
Zhang’s mother: “…” Not shy at all!
"Do you believe in him so much? What if he just likes your craftsmanship? I am reluctant to let you embroider more for fear of ruining your eyes. What if after we get married, he locks you in embroidery at home every day, and then goes out with your money?
Drink flower wine..."
Chu Yunli couldn't laugh or cry, "Mom, there are still good men in this world."
Of course there are good men in this world, but the Zhang family may not be so lucky to meet one.
Seeing her daughter say this, Zhang's mother became even more worried, "You know people but not their hearts. How do you know he is a good person?"
"I think he is a good man." Thinking of Yu Changfeng, the corner of Chu Yunli's mouth couldn't help but curl up, "My face is ruined. There are not many men willing to marry me. Maybe there are some flaws. At least, he is good-looking.
It shouldn’t be too bad.”
Zhang’s mother: “…” Being good-looking means you are a good person?
Seeing her worry, Chu Yunli smiled and said: "Mom, I can't stay married for the rest of my life, right? We don't know whether he is good or not. I embroider at home every day and don't have time to spend much time with him. He's all under your noses.
, it takes time to see people’s hearts!”
Zhang's mother thought the same thing. She was led into a ditch by her two daughters-in-law.
The following days were relatively quiet. During the day, Chu Yunli was mostly embroidering in the yard. She lit a stove and sat a kettle nearby. Anyone who wanted to see her could see her.
Yu Changfeng would occasionally come to deliver some gadgets, and sometimes talk to the Zhang family.
They came more frequently, and everyone around them saw her. There were also rumors that although Zhang Wanya was disfigured, there was still a good-looking young man who gave her gifts, and it would not take long for her to get engaged.
Now that they have met, they will get engaged sooner or later. By then, this will not be considered a rumor. Therefore, Chu Yunli is still calm despite rumors from outside.
Sometimes Mrs. Zhang explains to people that she is a distant relative. Some people believe her while others don't.
That afternoon, there was a knock on the door.
Chu Yunli was holding an embroidery needle. It would be troublesome to put it down and pick it up again, so she didn't move and shouted: "Second sister-in-law, someone is knocking on the door."
Tian came out, opened the door and saw the person outside. She was quite surprised, "Panpan?"
Ever since Zhang's mother came back after asking for gifts in front of everyone, Liu Panpan has never visited the Zhang family's door again.
Liu Panpan smiled reluctantly, "Sister-in-law Zhang, I'm here to see Wanya."
"This..." Tian was a little hesitant. The younger sister had threatened to break off diplomatic relations with her before.
Chu Yunli said at this time, "Come in."
The purpose of asking for a gift was achieved without exposing her face to face. If she didn't break her face, she thought she was smart.
Although Tian was surprised, he didn't ask any questions and entered the house by himself.
Liu Panpan was pleasantly surprised when she heard Chu Yunli invite her in. She sat opposite her and said, "Wanya, are you finally better? I didn't know why you suddenly acted like that last time..."
Chu Yunli sneered: "Because I discovered something was wrong. With your mother's stinginess, you would want you to buy so many gifts for me? Tell the truth, where did those gifts come from?"
Liu Panpan's face turned pale, "I bought that for you..." Meeting Chu Yunli's clear gaze, she turned and said, "That was what you misunderstood."
Hearing this, Chu Yunli recalled it. It seemed that the first time Liu Panpan brought something over, it was a doll that she liked very much. At that time, she just thought it was a gift from Liu Panpan, so she thanked her after taking it.
"Even if I misunderstood, wouldn't you be able to explain if you don't have a long mouth?" Chu Yunli's voice became colder, "You gave me gifts so many times after that, but you never mentioned whose intention it was from the beginning to the end. I gave it to you.
In return for a gift, sometimes you clearly stated that it was a return gift, but you didn’t even explain it. Is this something I misunderstood? It was clearly because you wanted to hide it on purpose because of my return gift!”
Liu Panpan's face turned pale, "Wanya, I was wrong. I apologize to you. I'm here today..."
She wanted to change the subject, but Chu Yunli refused, "Is that a gift your cousin Xu Qingyue asked you to give?"
Liu Panpan's hands on her knees trembled, and her voice trembled, "You know everything?"
When Chu Yunli mentioned these things, his heart was full of anger and resentment, and he couldn't embroider the flowers. He simply put it down and said: "If you don't explain that it is his intention, it must be more than just trying to deceive me into returning the gift, right?"
Liu Panpan stood up in shock, with a look of horror on his face, "You..."
Chu Yunli sarcastically said: "You like him, but you don't want me to know his feelings, right? And you can't bear the return gift I gave you, so you didn't say clearly that I didn't mean anything to him, and you hid it from both sides. He thought I was interested in him.
, so the gifts I gave became more and more valuable, and when I received the gift, I thought we had a good relationship, so the gifts I gave in return became more and more valuable, and you were the one who benefited the most."
Liu Panpan couldn't even utter a single word of defense.
Because everything has been said.
Seeing that her little face was as pale as paper, Chu Yunli still felt that it was not enough, and continued, "If these things happen, it will be my reputation that is damaged. You are sure that I dare not say anything, right?"
Liu Panpan moved her feet, almost wanting to run away.
Because even this last escape route was guessed by her.
Xu Qingyue was fond of Zhang Wanya, and for the sake of his sweetheart's reputation, he would not make a big deal out of it. Zhang Wanya, on the other hand, was concerned about her own reputation and would not make a fuss about it.
Liu Panpan kept both secrets, thinking that the two of them would talk to each other sooner or later. With Xu Qingyue's family background and future, it was impossible for the Zhang family to refuse the marriage. The two of them would get married sooner or later. By then, she would be a cousin, and the two of them would be married.
Nothing can be done to her.
But she never expected that Miss Shen would penetrate her during this period, and she never expected that she would be so ruthless in her attack, which would directly destroy Zhang Wanya's face, and the marriage... would not be possible.
She was very uneasy at the time. Sure enough, within a day, Zhang Wanya asked her for a gift in return. She made a big fuss. So, within half a day, Xu Qingyue knew that the gift he gave to his sweetheart had been cheated by her, the middleman.
At that time, he said she was... greedy and disgusting.
Nothing could be more uncomfortable for her than being accused like this by her sweetheart.
Liu Panpan looked pale and bit her lip, "I'm sorry!"
Chu Yunli was looking at the horizon to rest his eyes. Hearing this, he shook his head: "It's too late!"
