The suppressed sound sounded weird. It didn't sound like someone was actively suppressing the sound, but rather like someone had covered their mouth.
There was a good news for the Lu family today, and Lu Panyu also used his money to buy a lot of meat dishes and wine for his family. Everyone who could drink drank it, and now he was snoring loudly.
Lu Panyu's mouth was covered and he couldn't scream even if he wanted to. In addition, he had drunk too much and his whole body was weak. He yelled with all his strength, hoping that his son who lived next door would hear the noise and come over to see it.
look.
Facing such a person, Chu Yunli was very ruthless. He found a cloth and blocked his mouth. He removed his hands and feet. Lu Panyu almost fainted from the pain and couldn't scream. For a moment,
I always felt that I might die like this.
But how could he be willing to do so?
He kept whimpering and struggling, but when he couldn't move any further, he wanted to speak.
Under the cold moonlight, Chu Yunli said in a hoarse voice: "I am asking for money. If you have money, I will spare your life!"
Lu Panyu was stunned, nodded hurriedly, and looked at the clothes on the pillow.
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows, reached for it, took it out, collected the two banknotes inside, put the dagger in his hand on his neck, and asked coldly: "Are there any more?"
Lu Panyu closed his eyes. He didn't expect that this was still a greedy thief, but the situation was stronger than others. He didn't dare to say that he didn't. He could only look at the purse on the side.
Chu Yunli took it and found a lot of broken silver.
Although the moon was bright, I couldn't see clearly the words on the banknote, but I thought there must be quite a few. Before Chu Yunli left, he punched him in the stomach again, which made Lu Panyu's face full of pain and tears fell.
Come down.
She said solemnly: "If you dare to report it to the official, I will kill you!"
The tone was so dark that it felt cold to the bones. Lu Panyu was in so much pain that he quickly shook his head.
Chu Yunli gently opened the door and closed it, climbed over the wall and left the Lu family, hiding her body all the way back to the Guan family.
Apart from the barking dogs, I met no one along the way.
After entering the house, Chu Yunli took off her clothes and fell asleep.
The next morning, Chu Yunli was woken up by the strong sunshine. He took out the banknotes from last night and found two five hundred taels.
Even if the money is not valuable, it is still a lot. No wonder Lu Panyu can buy a house in the county?
Chu Yunli took a look, put away the banknotes and money, and went out.
It was a big gathering today, and it was already very lively outside. Guan's father and mother were outside, one was showing people the oxen and carriages, and the other was showing people things. They only had two copper coins.
As for Guan Quan and his wife, they went to set up a noodle stall on the street today, and they were able to earn quite a lot in one day.
Guan Quan and his wife have three children. The eldest, Guan Chengyu, is already married. The couple went to sell wontons on the street. The second child, Guan Chengmiao, is fifteen this year and is discussing marriage. He also went there to help. The third child, Guan Chengyou,
, only thirteen years old, when he was very lively, he went to the street to move things for others and earn a couple of copper coins.
Chu Yunli was the only one left in the whole yard.
The Guan family is very diligent. If the Lu family had this kind of heart, there would be no need to be so picky.
Of course, the Lu family owns a shop and feels superior to others. Therefore, Lu's mother subconsciously feels that Guan Jiu'er is a superior person.
In fact, the Guan family has saved a lot of money, but it is still unclear who will get the upper hand. Over the years, Guan Jiuer has to buy steamed buns, roast chicken and wine every time he goes to the city, with the few copper coins given by the Lu family.
, where can I buy it?
Whenever there is a market, the Guan family does not cook. They cook at their own stall and come back to cook in the evening.
Chu Yunli said hello to her parents and went out to the street.
There are many people on the street. It is not yet the autumn harvest time, so no one is busy, but they have to prepare for the autumn harvest, repair and purchase all the farm tools at home, so there are more people today than during the autumn harvest.
The stalls of the Guan family and his son are next to each other. One sells noodles and the other sells wontons. Plain noodles cost 5 cents, add some meat and oil for 8 cents, and wontons cost 8 cents. Although several tables were full of people, the food was expensive, so it didn’t matter.
Profit mainly comes from selling more, making small profits but quick turnover, and earning a few cents of hard-earned money.
Seeing her coming, Sister-in-law Guan smiled and said, "You just happened to be here. Shunbian brought food to my parents."
As he spoke, he poured a lot of water into the pot.
It was said to be noodles, but it was actually gnocchi. She cooked it quickly, put it in a wooden basin on the side, put salt in it and handed it over. The Guan family was not picky about eating, and a thick layer of meat oil floated on it.
During this period, Chu Yunli collected the bowls neatly and helped wash a bunch of them out. Seeing this, Sister-in-law Guan became even more satisfied and said with a smile: "You don't need to be there, my parents are already hungry."
Chu Yunli went home with a bowl of noodles.
There were a lot of people on the street, so it was difficult to walk around. Carrying a bowl of steaming hot noodle soup, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Chu Yunli's forehead.
It's purely hot.
She didn't rest along the way, and when she carried it outside the gate of Guan's house, her arms were a little sore. When Guan's mother saw it, she quickly came over to take it: "The third child will bring it back, I don't need you."
Guan Jiuer also knew something about this. Lao San would indeed deliver the goods, but if his business was good, he would deliver the goods first.
Chu Yunli went into the house, took bowls and chopsticks, and ate with the Guan family outside the gate.
Sister-in-law Guan's craftsmanship is actually pretty good, and the noodles were stuffed for a while without affecting the taste. Chu Yunli ate three bowls of them in a row.
She firmly refused to admit that it was because she was greedy, and it should be because Guan Jiuer usually lacked meat and fish.
Guan's mother saw it in her eyes and felt even more distressed: "I'll buy some meat later and eat meat at night."
Chu Yunli smiled, put away the basin and bowls and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "I'll buy them after I wash the dishes."
Guan Jiu'er has been married for many years and has become much closer to her parents' family. She felt that she had wronged her parents, brother and sister-in-law, and wanted to make amends, but was powerless.
Chu Yunli didn't feel any pressure at all. After washing the dishes, she went back to her room to get some money and prepare to buy more meat. As soon as she went out, Guan's mother stopped her again: "Wait a minute."
Chu Yunli was confused, but still walked over.
Guan's mother dug out her sleeves and took out a handful of copper coins: "Take this and buy it."
Chu Yunli: "..."
She felt a little sad, and her eyes were sore because of Guan's mother's thoughtfulness.
Guan's mother urged: "Hurry and take it over, let your sister-in-law and Chengyu's wife see it, it's time to think more."
Chu Yunli raised her hand and pushed back: "I have it here." Afraid that she wouldn't believe it, he even showed a few silver coins: "Mom, I didn't leave the Lu family out of anger. I have a way out. At least, I can ensure that I have enough food and clothing.
, I can also honor you.”
Guan's mother was surprised.
Everyone knows how stingy the Lu family is. She, the in-law of the Lu family, knows better. She should have saved some money, but will this money fall into the hands of her daughter?
Chu Yunli has already gone to the street. It is better to buy meat as early as possible. If it is too late, the bones will be gone.
After buying the meat, she went to help at the stall.
The stall owned by the father and son did a very good business because of the large portion and good taste. In the afternoon, after the crowd had dispersed, there were still people coming to eat in twos and threes.
However, the weather was hot, and the Guan family did not prepare much ingredients, so they started closing the stall when they were sold out.
The family walked back with the things, but they couldn't finish moving them all in one trip. They made a second trip. Sister-in-law Guan walked with Chu Yunli and whispered: "Is there anyone from the Lu family?"
Chu Yunli shook his head: "No! This life will definitely be unbearable. Even if they come, I won't go back."
"That's not what I meant." Sister-in-law Guan explained: "I didn't want you to go back, I just wanted to say..." She lowered her voice: "Lu Panyu was beaten last night. I don't know when he was beaten, and his whole body
The bones were dislocated and dislocated, and none of the Lu family heard anything. It was almost noon this morning and I saw that he hadn't gotten up. Only then did I realize that when he was sent to the hospital, I heard that he had been beaten violently, and his whole body was bruised and soft.
It's like batter, I can't move at all, and I've been unconscious for an unknown amount of time."
"Many people saw it at the time and thought he was dead. Your ex-mother-in-law was howling like she was mourning. She could be heard from three streets away."
Chu Yunli was very satisfied with the title "ex-mother-in-law" that Sister-in-law Guan said casually. This smooth remark was usually done without thinking about it, which proved that she had already determined that Mother Lu was her ex-mother-in-law. In other words, Sister-in-law Guan had already accepted her sister-in-law.
Going back to my parents’ house.
Sister-in-law Guan gloated: "The doctor said that he had to lie down for a long time without being able to move. In my opinion, this is retribution! He deserves to meet the thief in the Lu family... It must have been caused by the flamboyant clothes he wore when he came back."
The two of them were saying that the Lu family didn't come looking for them. When they were moving their things back, they happened to meet Lu's mother standing at the door of Guan's house.
By this time, the gathering had ended, and the old couple of the Guan family had been outside in the sun all day. Although there was something between them, it was a very hot day. They were cooling off in the courtyard at this time, and they hadn't seen her yet.
Lu's mother was hesitating when she saw Chu Yunli carrying pots and bowls. She immediately stepped forward and reached out to pull her away: "The boss has been beaten. Come back with me and take a look."
Chu Yunli avoided her hand: "What are you looking at? I looked at him and he can't get better. He was beaten. It's important to see a doctor quickly!"
Mother Lu: “…”
Chu Yunli knew what was going on as soon as she saw Lu's mother. The Lu family would never look for her if something bad happened. Lu Panyu was beaten like that by her yesterday and had to lie in bed to raise him. He was being cared for all the time.
The daughter-in-law is not suitable, the daughter is old, and Lu’s mother is not good enough, so she has to rely on a few men in the family, but how can they be willing?
This matter can only fall on myself, the "daughter-in-law".
"I gave you a letter of divorce yesterday. Do you still think I haven't done enough for your Lu family?"
Mother Lu sighed: "It's normal for couples to quarrel. Which couple doesn't quarrel? When you get angry, who doesn't say a few words about how hard it is to live? The boss is wrong. I'll ask him to apologize to you later. Where are your three children and your grandson?
We already have everything, so what’s the fuss about?”
Chu Yunli entered the yard and turned around to drag Mother Lu out of the door, who had followed her in. "Am I making trouble? It's because your son has someone outside." She rolled her eyes: "The clothes he wore yesterday were not cheap.
, there are no clothes like this given to prisoners in prison, who do you think gave them to them? Plus he will divorce me as soon as he comes back... Are you sure you want me to go back?"
Mother Lu made a mental calculation. After her son had been in prison for more than ten years, he would definitely have no money. There was fragrant powder on his clothes, so a woman should have bought it for him... Thinking of this, she immediately stayed away from Chu Yunli.
Some are like avoiding snakes and scorpions.
Chu Yunli was not angry, and even came up with an idea enthusiastically: "His wife is your daughter-in-law, and she should respect you. Also, between brothers, it's like supporting each other. If the rich pull out the brothers, it's all
