835, the mother of the unjust death of the son five
While he was talking, there was a crash outside.
As soon as she heard the sound of a lot of bowls and chopsticks being smashed on the ground, Chu Yunli stood up. In the yard outside, the grass was quickly picking up the pieces.
Mrs. Zhang looked heartbroken: "Damn it, the new bowl I just bought failed again within ten days. You are really a maid. How long have you been a maid? Are you like this in the Chen family?"
She was chattering endlessly, maybe she didn't even know what she was talking about.
Xiaocao didn't say a word, letting her ask and scold her, picked up the pieces and threw them into the vegetable field nearby, and said quickly: "I'm going to cook."
Zhang: "..."
She hurriedly grabbed him and said, "You should go do the laundry. I'll do the cooking myself."
Chen Wanhua glanced at it and then looked away: "Xiaocao is very clumsy and easily breaks things. She even dropped the teapot yesterday, so today I don't want her to boil water."
Chu Yunli sighed and asked curiously: "How many adopted daughters do the Chen family have?"
Chen Wanhua pursed her lips: "I am the youngest of three. The first ones are all married."
It's not much, so why is it like this? There must be something going on here. Chu Yunli asked again, "Is Li Xiangyu's marriage yours?"
Chen Wanhua lowered her head, acquiescing: "The Chen family has no daughters, so they adopted three adopted daughters. This marriage between the Chen family is the best among several in-laws."
"Auntie, your buns are so delicious!"
The topic changed abruptly. The girl probably didn't want to talk about the Chen family anymore. Chu Yunli said with a smile: "If you like to eat, I will give it to you next time."
She stood up and left, and before leaving, she reminded: "Your little grass is so prodigal, they will probably let you sell it, and you... When the girl's family grows up, she will always leave the cabinet."
Although the master and servant have the upper hand, as long as the Li family is her elder and they only care about the marriage, she will be in trouble.
Hearing this, Chen Wanhua was thoughtful.
After that day, it was probably winter and the sun was not so strong. The new daughter of the Li family would occasionally come out and wander around the village. Not to mention, not to mention her prodigal family, it was really pleasing to watch.
Many young people in the village had some thoughts, but were stopped by their elders.
Mrs. Zhang said that all the money she had on her adopted daughter had been wiped out in the few days since she came, and now she only has a little bit of money left. If such a girl is married, she will starve to death at home when the farm is busy, and the villagers will
You should be more pragmatic and find someone who is hard-working. As for appearance, don't worry about it.
Recently, many young people in the village went to the mountains to chop firewood together. Zhou Xinghua was bored at home, so he followed them.
The chopped firewood was not sold and was piled in the backyard.
As winter approaches, the weather turns cold. News spreads from the Li family that they want to marry the adopted daughter of the Chen family.
There were a lot of people in the village. Although many people felt that marrying her was not affordable, they couldn't bear the young people liking her. Besides, she was married to a maid. There were a few people who were interested.
In the afternoon of this day, the family was having lunch, and Zhou Xinghua hesitated several times.
Seeing that Chu Yunli was struggling for him: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Zhou Xinghua asked tentatively: "Mom, you said before that I marry a wife based on my own preferences?"
"It also depends on the person." Chu Yunli looked serious: "If Li Xiangyu comes back, don't even think about it. Unless I die, I won't agree to let her in."
"It's not her." Zhou Xinghua lowered his head and picked up the rice. After a long while, he said, "Do you like a good-looking daughter-in-law?"
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows: "How beautiful is it?"
Zhou Xinghua closed his eyes: "The most beautiful girl in our village."
The most beautiful thing in the village?
Before Li Xiangyu left, there were several of them, and Li Xiangyu was one of them. But after she left and Chen Wanhua came, the most beautiful girl was Chen Wanhua, bar none.
Chu Yunli was a little surprised and looked Zhou Xinghua up and down: "That Miss Chen?"
Zhou Xinghua did not dare to raise his head and only nodded.
Zhou Xingxin looked unbelieving: "She is willing to marry you?"
"Yes." Zhou Xinghua looked at his mother and said hurriedly: "I...I also want to marry her. Mother, she and I will definitely honor you in the future."
In the past, Zhou Xinghua didn't like to go out and stayed at home every day. That is to say, he chopped firewood for about a month some time ago. It was probably at that time that he met Chen Wanhua: "What do you like about her?"
Zhou Xinghua scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed: "I just like her. I like everything about her."
Chu Yunli was speechless: "You also like it when she breaks all the bowls in the kitchen?"
Zhou Xinghua: "..."
"Yes, I also heard that she can't work." Zhou Xingxin quickly answered: "That maid of hers can also break bowls. Not only that, she also broke her clothes. Aunt Li scolded her.
"Many people heard her voice. Let's marry her in..." She looked at her mother: "Mom, maybe I want you to serve their master and servant."
Hearing his sister's words, Zhou Xinghua was a little proud: "She was just pretending. The Li family wanted to bully their master and servant. If not, all the work of the Li family would have been done by them."
Zhou Xingxin was dubious: "Really? I'm not trying to trick you, right?"
Chu Yunli put down the bowl and chopsticks: "Steam buns this afternoon."
After it was steamed, she brought another plate and sent it to Li's house personally.
Chen Wanhua was feeling uneasy in the house. When she saw Chu Yunli coming, she became even more nervous: "Auntie."
Mrs. Zhang came up again and said, "Sister-in-law, your Xinghua family hasn't discussed marriage yet, right? Do you want to consider getting married with our family?"
Mentioning this matter, Mrs. Zhang felt aggrieved. She thought that such a good-looking girl would find her husband's family easily, but she didn't expect that after the news was released, so many people were interested and not a single person came to propose marriage.
Chu Yunli waved her hand: "Let me talk to her."
After saying that, he entered the door and closed it smoothly.
Mrs. Zhang was stunned, she didn't expect that there was something really going on.
In the room, Chen Wanhua nervously grabbed her sleeves, not knowing what to say. Her eyes fell on the plate in her hand and she immediately said: "Mom, I like to eat your steamed buns. I have been thinking about it for a long time."
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "You really like it?"
A pun.
Chen Wanhua raised her eyes and said seriously: "I really like it. I know that my aunt is a good person and a smart person. I can't hide my little thoughts from you. I really think Zhou Xinghua is a good person, unlike those in the village who only focus on my appearance and dowry.
Different people, he really likes me. If we get married, as long as he doesn't let me down, I will definitely live a good life with him."
The prerequisite for living a good life is to live up to her.
Chu Yunli is a woman herself, so she doesn't think this request is too much.
She came here mainly to see if this girl wanted to find someone casually, or if she thought Zhou Xinghua was really good and wanted to live with him.
Now it seems that it should be the latter.
In fact, Chu Yunli is really not afraid of her daughter-in-law being too thoughtful and causing trouble under her nose, and she will take care of her sooner or later.
No matter, Zhou Xinghua likes it, so he might as well do what he wants.
Furthermore, if Hu Qingtao knew that her daughter-in-law was Chen Wanhua, she would be satisfied. At least, her temperament is different from these girls in the village. People in the village don't marry, not because they don't want to marry, but because they are afraid they can't afford to support her.
Chu Yunli has no such worries at all. Things that can be solved with money are no big deal!
Moreover, if Li Xiangyu knew about marrying Chen Wanhua... Chu Yunli would find it interesting just thinking about it.
Seeing Chu Yunli's silence, Chen Wanhua hesitated for a long time, blushed with embarrassment, and asked nervously: "Auntie, you don't like me, is it because I'm clumsy...or is it because I'm careful? In fact, I'm not such a person.
The Li family bullies people too much. If I obey them, they will get even better..."
Chu Yunli glanced at the door and raised her hand to stop her: "Stop talking."
Chen Wanhua's face turned pale, and her heart sank.
"Be careful, walls have ears." Chu Yunli whispered, "I'll find a matchmaker to propose marriage later."
Hearing this, Chen Wanhua was overjoyed.
In fact, she is not a person who worries about gains and losses. She actually cannot see through the woman in front of her.
After changing people, the two sisters ridiculed her. Her adoptive parents, who were kind to her at first, suddenly changed their attitude. They felt that she was embarrassed and threw her away at night to be a wife for the mountain people... When she woke up, she was frightened.
Breaking into a cold sweat.
I thought it was just a dream, but not long after, the Chen family really found their daughter who was born in another room. After taking her back, they saw Li Xiangyu who looked exactly like the person in the dream. She had no luck and annoyed her adoptive parents in advance.
Sent her here.
She thought that life in the village should be peaceful. Mrs. Zhang was really shocked by her at first, but she didn't expect that she would avoid this place. Li Xiangyu refused to let go, and found someone to come and give Zhang Mrs. this and that. Then, they
The life of the master and servant became difficult. The parents were short-lived and it was easy to deal with trivial matters. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhang would even find her husband's family.
Originally, Chen Wanhua didn't care. No matter who she married into, no one could force her to do anything she didn't want to do. However, when she met Zhou Xinghua... especially after finding out that his mother was the kind-hearted aunt, she thought that no matter what, she thought
You have to fight for yourself...
Chu Yunli didn't know Chen Wanhua's complicated thoughts. After leaving the house, she asked Zhang directly: "How much is the betrothal gift? I will find someone to come to propose marriage in two days."
Zhang was surprised, quickly recovered, calculated, gritted his teeth and said: "Five taels!"
"Two Liang." Chu Yunli said in a serious tone: "I don't ask for a dowry, you can prepare it yourself."
Mrs. Zhang calculated in her mind that she had made a profit, and immediately said: "Okay!"
When the news of the marriage between the two families reached the Chen family in Zhang County, Li Xiangyu was so angry that she almost lifted the table. Although she didn't lift it, she knocked all the teapots and cups on the table to the ground.
