856, the mother of the unjust death of the son twenty-six
It turns out that Mr. He, who seems to be smart and capable, is actually a shy young boy?
Sure enough, two days later, the He family came to propose marriage.
Tea Yun has been open in the city for many years, and everything from the decoration to the guests is very elegant. Surprisingly, Mrs. He has a cheerful temperament. After handing over the wedding ceremony, she sent the matchmaker away and talked to Chu Yunli alone.
"In February, Hua'er told me that she had a sweetheart." She was probably really happy that her son was engaged, with a face full of joy: "I proposed marriage to him before, but he wouldn't agree to it, life and death, and asked him to look at her.
Nor was he willing. Seeing how gentle and elegant he was, I thought..."
Chu Yunli was holding the tea cup and was about to drink it when she paused and looked over in confusion.
Mrs. He was a little embarrassed: "He doesn't get close to women, he is surrounded by servants, and he also likes good-looking and delicate ones, but it scares me." After a pause, she asked doubtfully: "Do you understand what I mean?
?”
Chu Yunli is well-informed, so of course he understands. He nodded with a smile: "Understood."
Mrs. He clapped her hands and said, "I knew you understood. So I was overjoyed when I heard that he had a sweetheart, but this guy refused to tell me who he was. So I checked it out myself, and I found something was wrong. He
Apart from eating at my own restaurant, I only eat at your place. I knew he was a good eater, so I didn’t think much about it. The more I looked at him, the more disappointed I became. I thought that the person he said was a lie to me." At this point, she was very excited.
Huanxi, laughed loudly and said: "I was not convinced. After observing for a while, I found out that it was your daughter."
Chu Yunli was about to say that her daughter was not that good and should be humble. Then she heard Mrs. He continue: "I was afraid that he would find me a charming young lady with a lot of money. I thought about this sentence over and over again. It's okay.
She wants to do something. She has a good mood and an open-minded temperament, just like you. Don't worry, I will treat her as my own daughter from now on."
Based on what Mrs. He said, it seems that she is careless. Zhou Xingxin should be able to get along well with such a person.
After the wedding was decided, the two families began to follow the six rituals, which they both took very seriously.
Many people in the city knew that the girl from the Zhou family was engaged to the young master of the He family from Chayun. Although the Zhou family suddenly became rich and there was some mismatch in family life, in terms of financial resources, the Zhou family was slightly better.
One chip. It can be regarded as a good match.
When she heard the news, Li Xiangyu was cleaning the toilet, and several ladies nearby were discussing the good fortune of the Zhou girl.
"If you put in a good sister-in-law, you'll have everything."
"Yes, so I can't tell you what this person is. Some people have great ups and downs. The three poor and the three rich are not old yet."
"It's hard to explain fate. For example, our lady Chen, who cleans the toilet, has had her ups and downs several times. You don't know, but she had been in good terms with the young master of Meiyaolou for several years. In order to return to the Chen family
, she kicked people up. By the way, the way she refused the marriage was so despicable that I can’t even say it..."
Someone immediately asked questions.
I don’t know where I heard it from, but most of it is correct.
Listening to this, Li Xiangyu felt no emotion in her heart and regretted it. If these toilets cannot be cleaned, they will not have dinner.
"So I say, you can't tell about fate, right?" The mother-in-law said proudly: "Although the Zhou family became rich because of the Yuan family, the Zhou family itself is not bad, and the cooks in the delicacies building are better paid by others.
I can’t even dig out the wages, do you know why?”
The women immediately shook their heads.
The mother-in-law who spoke became more and more proud, and said mysteriously: "Because those cooks' skills were taught by Mrs. Zhou step by step. Even without the Yuan family, the Zhou family's life would be the same!"
She raised her voice and asked: "Xiangyu, tell me, do you have any regrets?"
Li Xiangyu didn't have time to chat with them, so she picked up two buckets and walked back. However, she was kicked by the woman's feet, and the ground was slippery. She fell down and felt pain all over her body. Her clothes were soaked through.
Suddenly, a feeling of grievance welled up in her heart, and Li Xiangyu felt that she was in the current situation. Although there was a reason for her snobbery, it was more like a joke played by God on her.
If Yuan Wanhua had suffered all the hardships, she would have felt that she had suffered enough, but she could not see hope.
The mother-in-law looked at her condescendingly: "Don't be a monster. My wife told me all this. She asked me to keep an eye on you. If you do something bad, you will also implicate me. Be careful that I deal with you!"
Li Xiangyu lay on the ground, feeling desperate.
Yesterday, she tentatively went to the door and waited for Chang Jiu. When they met, she looked miserable and miserable. Chang Jiu didn't even look at her, but she was still resented by Mrs. Chang.
It seems that she needs to be better behaved.
…
Master Chen went to the door of Lin's house to see his wife and children, but was always turned away. So he became cruel and refused to leave at night. Two days later, he got his wish and fainted from hunger.
I originally thought that after he fainted, Mrs. Lin would be soft-hearted and take him in. Unexpectedly, he woke up in the hospital.
Still at Changjia Medical Center!
The time he asked for money before, he completely offended the Chang family. After waking up, Chang Jifei said that he had given him good medicine and wanted to charge him fifteen taels of silver.
Even ginseng is not that expensive, right?
This is clearly blackmail!
In other words, Chang Jiu is taking revenge!
He threatened that if he didn't give it, the Chang family would go to the Yamen to report it to the officials. Following his mother's experience, he was really afraid of the Yamen. He was so scared that he had to collect some money and hand it over.
As a result, the blackmailed twelve taels were not returned, but another five taels were exchanged. Those five taels of silver were all that the father and son had, and could not be used except in emergencies.
In fact, Lin's life has not been easy recently.
After Lin's father fell into despair in the Chen family, he had been looking for someone to keep an eye on him. Seeing that Mr. Chen had gone through so many difficulties without touching his daughter's dowry, he was a little relieved. Thinking about the in-laws, what Mrs. Chen did had nothing to do with the child. Look.
For the sake of your children, give them some support and don't make their lives difficult.
Therefore, after moving to Zhuangzi, he planned to meet and chat in two days. Unexpectedly, his daughter came back the next day. He quietly told his old wife about the attitude of the Chen family and his son towards his mother-in-law in prison, which made her very chilled.
Father Lin has been in business for a long time and knows the trade-offs. He doesn't think that the Chen family and his son really don't care about Mrs. Chen if they don't visit the prison for the time being. But he doesn't let his daughter go back immediately.
The Chen family's life is so difficult, and the daughter will suffer even if she goes away, so she might as well stay in the house. After a while, the Chen family can resume business, and it won't be too late to go back.
But Mr. Lin didn't expect that after his son-in-law came to beg for help and got a divorce letter written by his daughter in anger, he would actually go to blackmail the Chang family!
The Chang family was indeed unkind, but the son-in-law who ran to blackmail him really made him look at him differently. Especially when blackmailing, he went even further and even used his sister's reputation as an excuse.
In Mr. Lin's opinion, this is a bit like disowning relatives. What if Chen Xiangyu is destroyed one day and only his daughter is left in the family... Will he be so unscrupulous?
When he saw that the Chen family only begged him and did not think of any other way out, and even did not visit Mrs. Chen in prison for two months, Mr. Lin became more and more disappointed. All these things combined made him completely unable to support the Chen family.
Thoughts. When his daughter wanted to bring in her fainting son-in-law, he stopped her.
He even asked his old wife to help his daughter find a new marriage!
Mrs. Lin didn't understand how she got to the point of remarrying.
Lin's father broke these things into pieces and told her, and finally said: "You are right to be cold. If such people have always been rich and noble, I would be relieved. But now they have no bottom line and no human ethics. I
It's okay to be alive. If I'm gone and they don't have a sister to sell, then you..."
Ms. Lin was shocked. She was afraid, but she still didn't want to marry: "If I remarry, it won't be good for my children."
"There's nothing wrong with it. I can still protect you mother and son." Lin's father said with a serious face: "I didn't ask you to get married right away. Let's watch each other first."
With the Lin family's family background, it is not difficult for Lin to remarry, and there are even unmarried relatives from various wealthy businessmen who are willing to marry her.
It's just that she came here purely for the support of the Lin family. In the end, Mrs. Lin chose a wealthy boss who was in the rice and grain business.
He was said to be the master, but in fact he was only thirty years old. His parents died early, and his previous wife also passed away. Many people said that he had a tough life. Mrs. Lin was not afraid. After seeing each other, she persuaded her daughter: "I think he is the most suitable person."
. He is a kind man and never skimps on doing business and takes advantage of others. He has no relatives and values kinship very much. As long as you are good to him, he will be good to you."
Ms. Lin was still struggling, but the Lin couple had arranged a marriage for her without any explanation, and married her off a month later.
Master Chen had been hungry for two days and was a little hurt. He was angry with the Chang family again, and it took him more than half a month to recover. He was planning to continue his work to pick up his wife and children when he heard about Lin's engagement.
This really hit him.
The Lin family is already engaged, what hope do the father and son have?
Apart from anything else, their current destination is still Lin's dowry. When she remarries, just to avoid suspicion, she will definitely drive them away!
Master Chen's heart suddenly felt cold. He was a little confused for a moment, and more of a fear.
He worked hard and tried to catch everything, but he couldn't catch anything.
"What!"
Mr. Chen stood up in shock: "Mr. Lin is going to remarry? Who did you listen to? Who started the rumor?"
Master Chen squatted on the ground and held his head. He also hoped it was a rumor, but unfortunately it was not true. He said frustratedly: "The maid next to Yaoyao told me that. The wedding is in a few days."
Mr. Chen was anxious and walked around the room with his hands behind his hands: "No, she can't remarry. What will we do if she does? How can we do business without capital? Do you really have to carry a big bag? Can you afford it, or can you do it?
Can I afford it?"
Neither father nor son can bear it!
After the two of them ran out of money, they relied on Mr. Chen to find support from their former friends.
In fact, love is something that becomes less and less the more you use it. Mr. Chen asked for it several times, and people became more and more impatient. Some people even started to avoid him. This is not a good thing.
Furthermore, those people who were willing to borrow or give it away were also because they saw that the Chen family had powerful in-laws. If the Lin family was not there, they would definitely have a different face.
Thinking of this, the father and son became more and more depressed.
