839, the mother of the unjust death of the son nine
Li Xiangyu was filled with joy after getting such a marriage.
When she was sixteen, the men she saw were all from the village. There were noisy fights between the couple, but they were all behind closed doors. The worse ones were getting drunk and hitting people. She and Zhou Xinghua got married.
For several years, he had been obedient to her orders. No matter how outrageous she suggested, he would consider it. Even if she asked for a bride price of fifteen taels, he disobeyed his mother and went to Fucheng to mine, hoping to earn it for her.
Therefore, even though she has never met her fiancé, she doesn't think he can be too bad.
On today's special day, I didn't expect that he would give me such a big gift.
Originally, it was his fault that he had a concubine and even had a child before they got married, and it was the Chang family's fault. If this woman hadn't been so bullying, she wouldn't have wanted to make a big fuss. I thought the Chang family would give in and apologize...
I didn't expect him to be so tough.
It's okay to be tough.
It's normal for men to be tough.
But in front of so many people, he said such cruel words on the big day, and no one came forward to smooth things over for a long time... Li Xiangyu's heart became heavier and heavier.
If we were in the village, someone would have already stepped forward to persuade them to make peace at this time, but everyone around here looked like they were watching the excitement, and no one came forward to make peace with them. And most importantly, there was such a big movement at the gate.
, do the Chang family couple know?
It's definitely impossible if you don't know, but if you know and let things develop, you either don't like her as your daughter-in-law, or you don't want to get married to the Chen family. Either way, the marriage is over today.
After a while, no one came forward to persuade her. Li Xiangyu had no steps to go down: "I'm not getting married."
She stepped out and walked out, and the people watching the excitement at the door got out of the way.
Just as she was about to go out, Mrs. Chang finally chased her out from behind: "What's going on? I was accompanying a guest and didn't see anything moving in front of me."
"Xiangyu, don't leave. If you want to leave, you must make it clear before you leave."
Li Xiangyu turned around coldly: "Isn't the matter very clear? Chang Jiu already has a concubine before he marries a wife, and this concubine is only a few months away from giving birth. Today she came to me to show off her power. Just now, Chang Shaodong's family said that there were so many people
You've all heard it, what does it mean to marry when you love it? Do you, the Chang family, have the sincerity to enter into this marriage?"
"I am indeed embarrassed today. But no matter what, it is not my fault. Others can see it however they want."
She fluttered her sleeves and went out, wanting to ask the maid to stop the carriage, but there were many people watching the excitement and there were many carriages. But no one offered to take her back to Chen's house, so that was fine. When the maid came up to ask, they all
avoid.
Li Xiangyu's whole body felt cold from the inside out, and she felt that even her hands and feet were not her own.
Chen Wanhua hurried out from inside and saw Chu Yunli and her daughter outside the crowd. She quickly grabbed Li Xiangyu and said, "My mother is over there. We have a carriage. I will take you back."
In fact, Li Xiangyu felt heartbroken when she saw Chen Wanhua this morning, especially her radiant appearance. However, this was indeed the only person who extended a helping hand to her when everyone was avoiding her. She knew that she was facing them at this time.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are embarrassed themselves, but staying here will only make them more embarrassed.
Li Xiangyu climbed into the carriage wearing a bright red wedding dress, her tears falling like broken beads.
Chu Yunli was driving the car in front. Except for Chen Wanhua, the others who were getting married today were all cousins of the Chen family. Li Xiangyu made a fuss about leaving, but none of them could make the decision, so they simply shrank away.
The carriage quickly arrived outside the gate of the Chen family. The married daughter of the Chen family and many relatives came to add makeup. At this time, Mrs. Chen was standing at the door to see off the guests. She was a little surprised when she saw Chu Yunli coming with the carriage, but she still smiled.
He said: "Wanhua, mother, why are you here? Wanhua is over at the Chang family..."
Chu Yunli jumped out of the carriage. At this moment, the curtain was lifted, and Li Xiangyu, whose face was full of tears, jumped out and threw herself into Mrs. Chen's arms: "Mom, they bully people too much..."
After saying this, I choked up so much that I could no longer speak.
Mrs. Chen was shocked that the person she had just sent away came back so quickly. She quickly supported the person and asked, "What happened?"
Li Xiangyu was talked about by so many people in front of others, and she came back in an old friend's carriage. She only wept silently along the way and didn't dare to cry. Now when Mrs. Chen asked her this question, she immediately burst into tears. She really couldn't stop it.
That kind of thing. Where can I say it?
Mrs. Chen had to look at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Finally, her eyes fell on Chen Wanhua and scolded: "On the big day, no matter what happens, you should not bring her back."
Hearing someone scolding his daughter-in-law, Chu Yunli became unhappy. He blocked his daughter and daughter-in-law behind him and said angrily: "She came out on her own. If we hadn't given her a ride with good intentions, she would still be like this now."
I’m crying on the street dressed up.”
Mrs. Chen Pan was very angry after being hurt by Chu Yunli. When she saw people pointing and pointing on the street, she dragged them into the door and shouted: "Wanhua, come in and explain clearly."
Chen Wanhua had to go in. If she went in, how could Chu Yunli feel relieved?
So, the mother and daughter also followed the door.
The door of Chen's house was closed, Mrs. Chen rubbed her eyebrows and scolded: "Stop crying, what's going on?"
Li Xiangyu cried so hard that she could not speak through sobs.
Mrs. Chen looked at the people here. Chu Yunli pretended not to see them, Zhou Xingxin lowered her head and plucked her handkerchief, and Chen Wanhua stopped talking.
"Why are you crying?" Mrs. Chen became impatient: "How dare you cry on such a big day? If I had known you would do such a thing, I shouldn't have brought you back in the first place. Sure enough, you grew up in the countryside.
, I don’t know how to take the overall situation into consideration.”
After being scolded like this, Li Xiangyu stopped crying and hurriedly explained: "His family bullied people too much. As soon as I entered the new house, a pregnant woman came in with a tray and called me sister. I heard you say,
The Chang family is a brother and sister. The one who can enter and leave the new house cannot be Mr. Chang's concubine... Mom, even if she is a concubine, she should serve me tea tomorrow morning. I just lifted my hijab, and she came here deliberately to cause trouble for me.
It was because she didn’t want to give the Chen family face. When a quarrel broke out later, instead of apologizing, Chang Jiu plausibly said that I, a foreign girl, was not worthy of her and told me to get out if I didn’t get married."
Seeing that Mrs. Chen became more and more angry as she listened, Li Xiangyu felt relieved and continued: "I admit that outsiders bully me. But today it is his Chang family who looks down on me and bullies me. I am the daughter of the Chen family, and bullying me is bullying the Chen family, even if
I can't bear to get married. I would rather not marry into such a family."
It's loud and clear.
Mrs. Chen looked ugly: "She made you look bad, so you started making trouble? You were obviously at the new house, why did you run to the door? He said you were a concubine. Did he wrong you?"
Li Xiangyu's face turned pale.
"mother……"
Mrs. Chen raised her hand: "You are embarrassing the Chen family. Don't call me mother."
Li Xiangyu was terrified: "He has a concubine before he gets married..."
Mrs. Chen became impatient: "When I came in, one of the four girls in your father's room was pregnant. I didn't even turn around and left. Why can't you bear it anymore?"
Tolerate?
Li Xiangyu's fingertips were cold and she was a little confused.
After young people in the village get married, they will deliberately avoid women to avoid gossip. If they find out that a man from this family is getting close to someone, he can just scratch his face. Why do women have to endure it when they get to the city?
"You have lost such a big face, our family can't keep you." Mrs. Chen waved her hand: "Pack your things and go back to the Li family." Then she ordered: "Have someone go to the Chang family to bring back the dowry. This family
The marriage is over."
Li Xiangyu can accept the cancellation of the marriage, but why should she go back to the Li family?
If she goes back now, what does she want from doing this?
Li Xiangyu immediately said: "I won't go back."
"It's not up to you." Mrs. Chen played with her nails: "I asked you to break off diplomatic relations with the Li family before, but you refused? Now is the time. You can go back to Cheng Huan."
After saying that, he looked at Chen Wanhua again: "I don't blame you for what happened today. It's getting late, so I won't leave you alone."
Without looking at the lost Li Xiangyu, Chu Yunli stood up to say goodbye, took her daughter and daughter-in-law out, got on the carriage and drove all the way out of the city.
As the sun sets, many people are talking at the entrance of the village.
Mrs. Zhang was surrounded by everyone and was speaking with great interest.
"The betrothal gift is a hundred taels, and the dowry costs more than 20 taels anyway. The wedding dress is made of the best material in the city. One set costs seven or eight taels of silver. There are also jewelry. Not only pure gold, but also must be brought.
It has a moral meaning, the kind that means more children and more blessings..."
Everyone was excited after hearing this, and some people asked out of curiosity: "Why don't you go when you leave the cabinet today? You have raised Xiangyu, why should she kowtow to you when she gets married?"
Mrs. Zhang waved her hand and said without thinking: "Her mother's family and her husband's family are so wealthy. I, a country woman, will be embarrassed by her if I go there."
Some people disagreed: "You can't say that. If you don't think your mother is ugly, how can it be considered embarrassing? Besides, didn't she give you a lot of good materials?"
Mrs. Zhang was proud: "You don't understand this. No matter how good the material is, it won't look good on me. I raise a child, but I don't expect my child to repay me much. In the future, she will be the young lady of the Chang family, and I will also
She won't get along with her. As long as I have a headache and fever, she can give me a few medicines, and that's the end of the mother-daughter relationship."
Everyone is envious. Although no one wants to get sick, how can a person not get sick if he eats whole grains?
Being sick and not having to pay for medical treatment or medicine is simply something you can't even dream of.
Someone asked tentatively: "There has been no news about my daughter-in-law in three years. Can I take her to the Changjia Medical Clinic?"
"Of course." Mrs. Zhang said matter-of-factly: "Your daughter-in-law is Xiangyu's sister-in-law. If you see her, just ask her to give you a cheaper deal."
She thought well, the young lady of the Chang family should not be exposed to the public, how could she happen to meet her by chance?
The woman who asked the question didn't think so much, and was overjoyed when she heard this: "I just haven't been busy recently. I'll borrow a bullock cart to go there in two days..."
Many people nearby heard that she was going to the county town and asked her to help carry things.
Just as they were talking lively, they saw a carriage coming from the entrance of the village. It was the Zhou family who were going to congratulate them.
As soon as Chu Yunli's carriage entered the village, it was stopped by people. They were all from the countryside. She was not the one who refused to accept people from thousands of miles away. She smiled and asked: "Are you basking in the sun?"
"Yes." Someone asked with a smile: "I heard that Wanhua went to get married? Did she go to Chang's house?"
Chu Yunli looked at Mrs. Zhang who was trying to look this way but was pretending to be calm, and said with a smile: "Wanhua went, but I didn't go."
Everyone's eyes lit up and they immediately asked: "Is Xiangyu's dowry large? Just now her mother said it was more than a dozen taels?"
Chu Yunli waved her hand: "I haven't seen her. I don't know. Xiangyu will be back soon. You can ask her yourself."
Everyone: "..." Today is our big day, are you kidding us?
