849, the mother of the unjust death of the son nineteen
"You have to provide evidence when you speak, but you can't just say it." Mrs. Chen said with a threat: "Who in the whole city doesn't know that I have raised three daughters. All of them are well married?"
Chu Yunli sneered: "I don't know what happened to the first two, but here in Wanhua, is she an adopted daughter? Why have I heard some people say that you want to adopt a daughter because of her? Is it false?
?”
Mrs. Chen was mentally prepared before she came. When she heard this, she didn't panic. She just said: "As before, you said she is not my adopted daughter, show me the evidence."
Chu Yunli seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "It is said that in the past, there was a wealthy merchant Yuan family in the east of the city. They had a big business and were involved in food, clothing, housing and transportation. The only problem was that they had few heirs and only one sick son. In the city
Doctors said that Yuan Shaodong's family would not survive to adulthood. Master Yuan took in many concubines, but no good news came out. Later, he gave up and let his son leave an heir. After listening to the Taoist priest's words, he chose a horoscope.
A suitable little girl went home and was raised as his adopted daughter. More than ten years later, the adopted daughter got married. Yuan Shaodong's family had only one daughter, but in the year they had a daughter, many people in the city got cold.
The doctor was helpless and many people died. The Yuan family and his son were among them."
Seeing Mrs. Chen's complexion gradually turning pale, Chu Yunli smiled and continued: "Then, within a few months, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Yuan family died one after another. As for the infant child, he also died of illness not long after.
The Yuan family's huge business has actually fallen into the hands of that adopted daughter."
"Adopted daughter of the Yuan family, you are so lucky."
Mrs. Chen's heart trembled and she almost ran away. She bit the tip of her tongue, came back to her senses, and said seriously: "I'm not interested in hearing your story. I just want to see my daughter and my grandson."
Chu Yunli smiled and clapped her hands slowly: "You are really thick-skinned."
She was very interested, "Mrs. Chen, are you interested in telling me what happened back then? Why did you raise Wanhua? You are just her unrelated aunt. I don't believe you have any good intentions."
Mrs. Chen said coldly: "The Yuan family was kind to me. When I mention them, I feel unbearable grief. Did you do this on purpose? They are gone and buried in peace. Why do you make up these stories to disturb the deceased?"
"Yes, the grief is unbearable. So now fewer and fewer people mention the Yuan family in the city." Chu Yunli said calmly: "If the Yuan family knows about it, I am afraid it will eat your heart. If Mr. Yuan
Knowing that the little girl he brought back out of kindness would cause him to have no descendants, even if no one bothers him, he probably won't be able to live in peace."
"You must provide evidence when you speak." Mrs. Chen said coldly: "There is a law called slander. If you are convicted, you will be imprisoned for three years. If you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me for being disrespectful."
Chu Yunli pretended to be scared: "I am a country woman who has never seen the world. I am so afraid of being convicted." Then he sneered and said: "You can sue if you can. It just so happens that I don't need to write a complaint."
Listen carefully, she actually wants to file a complaint!
Mrs. Chen was very flustered, her thoughts were flying wildly, and she kept thinking about whether she had exposed any flaws back then.
After recalling it carefully, she found that the Yuan family had no close relatives, and the fact that her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law died of serious illness had nothing to do with her. They really fell ill and left. They just entrusted their infant child to her before leaving.
As long as she raises her child, she will give her 30% of the Yuan family's wealth as a token of gratitude.
After she agreed.
The sister-in-law who was so sick that she was about to die was already a little crazy. She had to force her to swear a poisonous oath. If she didn't raise her children and tried to embezzle the family property, her whole family would not end well.
In order to appease the dead, and also to obtain the Yuan family's property, Mrs. Chen made the oath filled with humiliation.
But after getting the land deed and family property, she was very unwilling.
When Mr. Yuan took her home, Mrs. Yuan didn't like her. There were even rumors outside that she was Mr. Yuan's concubine. I don't know if Mrs. Yuan believed it. Anyway, she had been very indifferent to her since she was a child.
She had been living in the care of others for a long time, for fear of being sent away. At that time, she was timid and timid, and she was afraid every day. She wanted to get close to the Yuan family who raised her, but she was also afraid of seeing their disgusted eyes.
The life of an adopted daughter is difficult, and no one knows it better than her. So, holding Wanhua in her arms, she had a crazy idea.
She was a frightened adopted daughter in the Yuan family, and now letting the children of the Yuan family become her adopted daughter can be regarded as revenge. Besides, with the children of the Yuan family gone, all the family wealth can only be hers.
Nothing wrong!
Then, the only heir of the Yuan family died of illness.
The adopted daughter of the Yuan family has three more adopted daughters in her house. She mainly wants to adopt Chen Wanhua, and as for the first two, they are just a cover-up.
Everyone knows that the only daughter left by the Yuan family died of illness that year because she was too young and could not withstand the cold.
And the only ones who knew that Chen Wanhua was the child were her and Yao.
Mrs. Chen was frightened when she thought of Yao who had disappeared. She looked at the woman in front of her with some fear, and quickly lowered her head to hide her expression.
Will not!
Yao must have run away because he was afraid that the matter would be exposed and he would settle the score with her.
It definitely didn’t fall into the hands of the woman in front of me!
Mrs. Chen was panic-stricken and tried to keep a calm expression on her face: "I don't understand what you are talking about. Since the two families are relatives, I won't argue with you!"
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows: "Care about it! You must care about it! How can you let it go? Go and file a complaint!"
Seeing that Mrs. Chen was motionless, she smiled and said, "Would you like me to have someone report to the official position for you?"
Mrs. Chen looked ugly and held a trace of expectation in her heart: "The mother-in-law beside me has redeemed herself and returned home. Did you know?"
"I know!" Chu Yunli said with a half-serious smile: "I also know the whereabouts of their family. I'm not afraid to tell you, I know all these things. To be honest, I have never seen anyone more shameless than you.
people."
"Why do you have the nerve to say that Wanhua is your daughter? You are such an ungrateful beast who repays kindness with revenge, do you deserve to be her mother?"
She stood up slowly, walked to Mrs. Chen, and whispered in her ear sinisterly: "You treated the Yuan family's daughter so harshly, embezzled the Yuan family's property, and came back in the middle of the night in a dream. Aren't you afraid that the Yuan family will seek your life?"
Mrs. Chen shuddered: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
Chu Yunli sneered.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone beside the door. She turned her head and saw Chen Wanhua, who had a cloth wrapped around her head and was holding a child. At this time, her face was pale, her lips were trembling, and tears were unknowingly falling all over her face.
Chu Yunli: "..." I never expected it.
This is the third floor of the restaurant. Their family has been living in the small courtyard at the back, and Chen Wanhua is still in confinement. Even if she went to the wrong place, she shouldn't have gone around here.
"Why are you here?"
Chen Wanhua wiped her face: "Jiu'er was crying hard, and she seemed to still have a high fever."
Chu Yunli looked at the child in her arms, took it and touched her face. She was indeed having a high fever, and the child's face was flushed with heat. She immediately untied the swaddling clothes, poured tea on the table and wiped his body, saying
: "Have someone call the doctor, and do it quickly!"
The child was sick, and Chen Wanhua didn't bother to ask about it.
In fact, the mother-in-law who took care of her took half a day off today. At this time, the restaurant was busy. Even if Zhou Xinghua was with her, he would come to the front to help when he was busy. There was no other way, so she came here with her child in her arms.
It's strange that the mother-in-law is just a country woman with a hoarse voice, but the moment the child gets hot and confused, she subconsciously comes to find her.
In her heart, her mother-in-law is a very reliable person, even more reliable than Zhou Xinghua.
Fortunately, the child's fever subsided by night. Chen Wanhua was so scared that her whole body was paralyzed, and her face was full of fear: "I don't know why he got sick."
It is normal for children to be sick. It is the first month of the year and it is cold outside. If you change clothes slowly, the child may have caught a cold.
"It doesn't matter," Chu Yunli looked at the sleeping child: "It will be fine once the fever has gone down."
Chen Wanhua was full of worries: "I heard that children may develop fever if they have fever..."
"No." Chu Yunli understood her worries: "Just now the doctor said it was fine. Don't think too much about it. You are still in confinement."
After hearing that she was overthinking, Chen Wanhua remembered what she heard in the afternoon. In fact, she didn't listen for long. The child was sick, and she couldn't care less if she wanted to know the inside story. She only heard the sentence "Treat the Yuan family's daughter harshly and embezzle the Yuan family's daughter."
If you dream about your family wealth at midnight, you won't be afraid that the Yuan family will ask you for your life."
When the mother-in-law talked about this with Mrs. Chen, it was confirmed that it was true. There were several girls that Mrs. Chen treated harshly, but the only one who had anything to do with the Zhou family was herself.
After thinking about it for a moment, Chen Wanhua guessed most of it herself.
Seeing her expression, Chu Yunli asked again: "Nothing is more important than your confinement. The days are long, and revenge can be done slowly. The mother-in-law who knows your true identity has moved to another place, and she ran away by herself.
I have people watching her. As long as she is alive, there will be witnesses. You have to believe me."
"I believe in you!" Chen Wanhua responded immediately, holding Chu Yunli's hand: "Mom, when I get well, you must tell me the truth!"
After that day, Chu Yunli tried his best not to go to her room, and ordered Zhou Xinghua to stay with her all day to divert her mind, so she naturally stopped thinking about it.
The inside story is really too unbearable and Mrs. Chen is too shameless. No matter who it is, it will not be easy for anyone to know the inside story.
And Zhou Xingxin has been leaning close to her recently, such as now: "Mom, he came again today, do you think he treats me too..."
The more I talk, the more shy I become.
Chu Yunli was speechless: "Don't have high hopes. People just like our food and don't lack money, so they come here to eat every day."
Zhou Xingxin was filled with shyness, as if a ladle of cold water had been poured on her. She glared at Chu Yunli and said dissatisfiedly: "Are you my mother?"
Chu Yunli snorted: "No! I picked you up."
Zhou Xingxin: "..."
She stamped her feet, "Mom!"
Chu Yunli laughed: "You are waiting for someone to come to propose marriage. When will you wait? After two days, I will have someone go check out the He family's reputation..."
"No!" Zhou Xingxin quickly refused: "Our two families are very different. If he doesn't have the intention, wouldn't it make people laugh if we took the initiative to bring it up?"
This is also true.
The Zhou family can only be regarded as a nouveau riche now, and in the eyes of others, they have not yet established a firm foothold in the city.
The He family's teahouse is famous for its elegance. It has been open for more than ten years and has a much deeper foundation than the Zhou family's.
The Zhou family took the initiative to ask, and they were suspected of clinging to me.
Chu Yunli smiled and asked: "I just ask you, if you hesitate and refuse to take the initiative, will you regret it if he gets engaged to someone else during this period of time?"
Zhou Xingxin fell silent.
I wanted to ask, but I was afraid of embarrassment.
Chu Yunli made it very clear what he said. Which is more important, face? Or is it more important to be a man?
