853, the mother of the unjust death of the son twenty-three
Even if Mr. Chen has been well-raised and has never experienced hardship, he still knows how to keep his eyebrows high and his eyes low. He knows that the person he cannot offend the most now is his wife.
Therefore, even though he had never coaxed a child, he was patient last night. He did not complain, nor scold, nor call her to hold him.
Of course Mr. Chen didn't believe it: "If she wanted to leave, she would have already found an excuse to go back to her parents' house when she knew that our family couldn't raise money. But she left only after arriving here yesterday. You must have offended her!"
Master Chen: "..." He has no conscience, he is not such a stupid person!
Seeing his confused look, as if he really didn't know. Mr. Chen asked tentatively: "Did she say anything strange?"
"No!" Master Chen scratched his head, thought of something, and said hesitantly: "Yesterday, she asked me if I wanted to go to the prison to see my mother after I settled down."
Mr. Chen frowned: "What did you say?"
Mr. Chen recalled: "I couldn't say it at the time because it would make me feel even more uncomfortable when I saw it."
Mr. Chen frowned even more tightly.
Nowadays, the Chen family is very poor. They only have a little bit of money left. They have to plan to rent a carriage. If they want to go to the prison, they have to go around. This trip can completely wipe out the current Chen family.
.
It's really not the time to visit.
In his heart, Mr. Chen could no longer stand Yuan's dominance, and had long been tired of her over the years. If he hadn't had a son, or if he hadn't wanted to take money from her, he would have been too lazy to deal with it.
He thought for a while: "Could it be that she thinks your words are too cruel? Is she afraid that you will treat her like this one day?"
Master Chen: "..."
This is probably possible. He was really wronged. His mother was not good to others, but she treated his son with heartache. Although the Chen family is in this situation, it is indeed the mother who is to blame, but as a son, he still needs to visit when he should.
of.
But now the situation is different. The Yamen accepted Yuan Wanhua's benefits, and although they were donated to the people, to the officials, the kindness of the wealthy businessmen under their control was also his contribution. Now is the time for people to be grateful to Yuan Wanhua, and they will definitely
They are keeping an eye on Mrs. Chen in prison. If the Chen family wants to visit her, they have to take extra steps. If they want to visit, they don’t have to do it now. They can go later!
"I'm going to my father-in-law's house to have a look."
Without saying a word, Master Chen hurried out.
It was neither early nor late, and there were many oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages on the road, but they were all farmers coming out of the city after selling vegetables, but they did not go to the city. Master Chen walked all the way and entered the city gate after an hour.
After hard work, he arrived at Lin's house. It was already afternoon. He had been busy for most of the day. He didn't even drink a sip of water. He was hungry, tired and thirsty. Fortunately, he arrived.
As soon as he arrived at the gate, the concierge saw him and handed him a piece of paper: "The master asked me to give this to you."
At this moment, Master Chen just wanted to drink water and eat, so he impatiently took it. When he glanced out of the corner of his eye, his eyes widened, and the word "harmony" stood at the top.
I didn’t expect that woman really didn’t want to live with him, just because he said he wouldn’t visit his mother?
Maybe he dislikes the Chen family’s downfall, right?
"I want to see Yaoyao, I want to see Maomao, I can explain..."
No one knew about the chaos outside Lin's house.
They only knew that the adopted daughter sent to the countryside by the Chen family turned out to be the only heir of the Yuan family back then.
Is that a wife-in-law?
That’s carrying a golden baby home!
If they had known this, they would have asked for marriage!
I never expected that a rural farmer would pick it up!
Other families were fine. After all, Yuan Wanhua had already arranged a marriage. Later, the Chen family sent her away without saying hello to anyone. It was too late for them to ask for marriage. The people who regretted it the most were the Chang family.
Mrs. Chang was so regretful that her intestines were green. If she had known this, when the Chen family sent her away, if she had insisted on asking for marriage, Yuan Wanhua would have been completely devoted to the Chang family.
That woman from the Zhou family can definitely be the daughter-in-law. If Yuan Wanhua married her own son, she would be the one holding so many deeds now!
Even if you can't be your own daughter-in-law, you can still be your friend.
Therefore, Mrs. Chang selectively ignored the last bad breakup and found Mrs. Yang, planning to go to the restaurant for dinner and pay a visit.
There are many people in the city who have this idea. Just like when they had good relations with the Chen family, now everyone in the city wants to have a good relationship with the Zhou family as long as they are not stupid.
Unknowingly, the business of both restaurants has improved a lot.
Chu Yunli made money and was in a good mood recently. Subsequently, many people came to visit her. That's not all. Many people were asking about Zhou Xingxin's marriage and wanted to get married.
When Mrs. Chang came, Chu Yunli immediately asked someone to invite her up. Among other things, she was so arrogant last time, so he had to see her humble and cautious look.
Mrs. Chang who came in was indeed much kinder, and said with a smile: "I originally made an appointment with Mrs. Yang, but she had a headache, so I came by myself. The cooks here are very good at their craftsmanship. If it weren't for the lack of money,
, I wish I could live here every day.”
"But it won't work if you live there for a long time. If you smell this smell every day, you will want to eat five times a day. I'm afraid I will become a ball of fat in a short time."
As he spoke, he laughed.
Chu Yunli stretched out her hand and pointed: "Sit."
Mrs. Chang's smile deepened and she felt a little embarrassed: "Don't take what I said last time to heart. Xingxin is a very good girl. I was also very angry at that time. Don't take your angry words seriously. Don't be angry with me."
.”
Chu Yunli smiled slightly but did not answer.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Chang felt a little uneasy, picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "This tea is really delicious."
"This is rough tea." Chu Yunli said calmly: "The kind that farmers bring back in handfuls, with tea stems inside."
Mrs. Chang: "..."
She looked embarrassed, but Chu Yunli still felt that it was not enough: "Here, the tea served to guests is different. If it is a distinguished guest, it is Yuqian Longjing and Biluochun. If it is an ordinary guest, it is ordinary tea. If it is an ordinary guest, I hate it.
If people want to come together, then there will only be crude tea."
No matter how stupid Mrs. Chang is, she still understands such straightforward words of disgust. She suddenly felt embarrassed: "Are you still angry with me?"
Chu Yunli stood up, opened the door, stretched out her hand and said, "I saw you today, and I just wanted to tell you that I hate you. Don't come here again!"
Mrs. Chang has been socializing in the city for many years, and she has never seen such a straightforward person. Even if there is some disagreement with the other woman, the average lady can still look good. Especially in the three medical clinics under the Chang family, all the famous doctors in the city sit... This
How can a person not get sick if he eats whole grains?
No matter who you offend, you can’t offend the doctor!
Therefore, the Chang family is not considered wealthy, but Mrs. Chang has a transcendent status in the city, and no one really hates her so clearly.
She was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and stood up slowly: "Mrs. Zhou, I came here today because I really want to make friends with you. This business is all about being friendly and making money. Who hasn't had the time to ask for help? Are you sure you want to drive me away?
?”
Chu Yunli chuckled lightly, then suppressed his smile: "Get out!"
From the last time Li Xiangyu got married, Mrs. Chang looked at the development of the situation with a cold eye, and we can see the character of the Chang family. Not to mention that Mrs. Chang came to propose marriage later and never said bad words. In addition, the Chang family returned to marry the Chen family... everything happened.
, all show that the Chang family should not have close friendship.
Now that Yuan Wanhua has donated 30% of her family wealth to the Yamen, as long as the Zhou family does not do anything wrong, the Yamen will definitely take more care of them.
Mrs. Chang was so disgraced that no matter how angry she was, she didn't dare to show it on her face.
If she looked angry, people who saw her would definitely guess that she had been rejected. It was not a secret that the Chang family came to propose marriage. At that time, the Zhou family threatened that Zhou Xingxin's husband could not take concubines. After Mrs. Chang returned, she publicized it.
Fan.
Therefore, many people know that the Zhou family had a falling out with the Chang family because of the marriage of their children.
Therefore, when Mrs. Chang came downstairs, she was not only not angry, but also looked happy. When everyone saw her, they all guessed that the two families should be reconciled.
After getting on the carriage, the smile on Mrs. Chang's face was gone and she felt extremely aggrieved. She was unhappy and wanted to make life difficult for others. She ordered: "Get out of the city! I'm going to the Chen family to cancel the marriage."
Li Xiangyu was waiting for Brother Cheap to coax his sister-in-law back to buy a dowry. Mrs. Chang came there with a matchmaker. For the sake of the Lin family, she spoke politely: "I checked with the Taoist priest and found that they don't match each other.
This marriage is over!"
Li Xiangyu's vision went dark and she fainted immediately.
There was no maid around her to serve her, only Mr. Chen was still with Mrs. Chang, so there was no one around when she fainted, and she fell solidly to the ground.
The ground was mud, and when she fell, she was covered in dirt.
When Mrs. Chang saw her, she became even more contemptuous: "Mr. Chen, in fact, this marriage should not be decided. How can she, a country girl, be worthy of my son?"
Mr. Chen: "..."
He was so angry that when the Chen family was not in poverty, the Chang family and his wife were extremely flattering when they saw him. Unexpectedly, once they were in decline, Mrs. Chang would even dare to say such disdainful words to her face. This was a loss of face at all.
Keep.
Just at this time, Master Chen came in with a dejected look on his face. When he saw many people in the yard, he was shocked: "What's going on?"
Mr. Chen snorted coldly: "Seeing that we are in trouble, the Chang family came to cancel the engagement."
Mrs. Chang nodded: "Yes! Moreover, I want to recover the betrothal gift I gave to your family."
Mr. Chen: "..." Is there such a thing?
This was indeed the case, but the betrothal gift given by the Chang family was not much. When he was raising money, he never thought of such a thing.
It was too late to think about it at this time.
Although the betrothal gift prepared by the Chang family was not large, it was not something that the father and son could afford now.
Master Chen has been rejected for a whole day today. He has lost all the face he had not lost in the past twenty years. He has become thicker-skinned by doing so.
He was also a bachelor and said, "Do you want a betrothal gift? If she is okay, you can take her back and make her a concubine."
Li Xiangyu, who had just woken up, was feeling pain all over her body. When she heard these words, she fainted again.
