In front of the yamen gate, I really didn't dare to hit anyone.
Originally, as a mother-in-law, Lu's mother wanted to teach her daughter-in-law a lesson, so there was no excuse for it. But now that they no longer have that identity, fighting again would be like venting their anger.
Besides, this is still a government office, and there are some things that the people do not take action against. If you go to the magistrate and beat someone, will he not care about it?
Mother Lu endured it again and again, but in the end she didn't pounce.
She didn't dare.
In full view of everyone, Chu Yunli climbed onto the carriage and drove away.
The Lu family were in a hurry and came running. It was already dark now, but they still had to walk back.
Chu Yunli returned home and after washing, she felt completely comfortable, not only physically, but also mentally. Most of it was due to the emotion of Guan Jiuer.
Although Lu Panyu was not sentenced today, he was imprisoned. It may be difficult for him to come out unscathed.
She was about to go to bed when she heard a dog barking outside.
These dogs were particularly vicious to the Lu family. If it had been anyone else, they wouldn't have made such a big fuss.
The Lu family members were exhausted when they returned home, and even more tired were their hearts. It was already very late, and for the Lu family members who usually went to bed after sunset, they usually slept at this time, but at this moment, no one felt sleepy at all.
.
Hearing the noise, Lu Yuanqing opened the door. Behind her were the He family, mother and daughter, and Hua Qing, who had just walked in today.
She grabbed her son Yuanji, turned around and walked in. She didn't say a word to the Lu family.
Mother Lu didn't care about her attitude and asked tiredly: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Lu Yuanqing was very nervous. He already said: "How can I sleep if the matter has no result? What's going on? Why doesn't the eldest brother come back?"
Father Lu has seen more. In any case, his son did not kill anyone and was in prison for fifteen years, which should be able to offset the mistakes he committed. However, these things in the Lu family were given by Li Bei, so maybe they should
Returning back, he pondered for a moment: "It should be no big deal. I'll be back in two days. Don't think too much. It'll be fine. If the sky falls, I'll be there to hold it up." In the worst case, just go back to town.
He didn't say the last sentence.
Once you say it, your already uneven mind will become even more confused.
In the newly decorated house, Hua Qing listened to her son repeating what happened today exactly, with a serious expression on her face: "Pack your things, let's leave overnight."
Yuanji hesitated: "Mom, that's my father after all. We have been waiting for fifteen years."
Hua Qing sneered: "Have you seen those people outside? If Lu Panyu can't come out, they will be a burden to our mother and son from now on."
…
Chu Yunli didn't know what everyone in the Lu family was thinking privately, and she slept soundly.
When I woke up, it was already noon the next day.
In the yard outside, Wan Chengfeng and Guan Chengyou were digging the garden, pulling out the flowers and plants they had planted, and getting some vegetables to plant there.
Chu Yunli was dumbfounded: "Are you really interested? Just do some business, do you want to eat as much as you want?"
On the day of the adoption, Guan Chengyou changed his tune as soon as he came out of the Yamen. For him, there seemed to be no embarrassment.
Such people are actually quite good at business, at least they won't be unable to talk.
The three of them had breakfast together, and then Chu Yunli planned to take them out shopping.
As soon as he went out, he saw the three brothers and sisters squatting in a row at the door of Lu's house. Chu Yunli didn't even look at them, got on the carriage and left.
This time, he was engaged in the clothing business. The previous shop was sold out because the Li family was so crowded that it could no longer be opened. Moreover, it had not been sold for a long time. Chu Yunli was not afraid of anything. When he bought these shops, he was more
The market price is cheaper.
Even so, the original landlord is very grateful.
In the past, even if it was cheaper, it could not be sold. The buyers were not fools. No matter how cheap the price was, they would not dare to do this business. If you hold it in your hands, you will definitely lose money. If someone takes over, that is his family's benefactor.
Nowadays, the shop is still struggling. Chu Yunli took over, but the materials in the shop were not sold, and instead they paid wages.
This made Guan Chengyou, who was used to seeing his own soy sauce shop in town, immediately change his expression. This business... can be said to be bad to a certain extent. How can it be so easy to come back to life?
"Mom, this..."
Chu Yunli laughed: "Let's find a group of embroiderers first, sell ready-made clothes first, and then sell the materials in the shop."
She walked around, drew a few drawings based on the current look, and then asked Guan Chengyou to find Xiu Niang to make ready-made clothes.
Guan Chengyou became busy.
When he first arrived in the county, he had to hire a few incompetent men. If these people had any other way out, they would have run away long ago.
When we go back, we will have Chu Yunli.
The three siblings were still squatting at the door. When they saw her coming, they immediately ran forward: "Mother."
Chu Yunli was impatient: "I have a son, who do you call him?"
Three people: "..."
They are not young anymore, and they know everything they should know. It is true that Lu Panyu committed a crime. What the Lu family has now has a bad origin and will be liquidated sooner or later. Not to mention the money that was stolen.
The current house and shop must be returned.
If the Lu family were to repay what they had been robbed before... they would never be able to repay their debts in their lifetime.
The only way out now is to look to my mother.
Mother's many houses and shops can definitely accommodate them. Although they didn't have a few good days in the city, it was something they had never dared to think about in the town before. It was difficult to go from luxury to frugality, and no one wanted to go back.
The three of them knelt down together, and Lu Yuanwen begged: "Mom, I was wrong before. You can hit me and scold me, but you must never deny us!"
"Yes." Lu Yuanwu looked sad: "We really don't know what dad did. If we knew, could we hide it from you?"
Lu Yuanqing lowered his head: "The eldest brother and the second brother won't let me say it, so I don't dare to say it."
Looking at the people kneeling in rows in front of them, Chu Yunli half-smiled but said, "Your mother has already been pissed off by you. From now on, the road will be facing the sky, and everyone will go to one side. If we get close to each other again, I will let the dogs bite."
"
She pulled Wan Chengfeng through the door and told the woman who came to open the door: "From today on, don't hold those dogs on the leash. Let them go."
The three brothers and sisters shuddered together. Such a ferocious dog is scary even when tied up. If it is loose, who would dare to approach it?
Lu Yuanwen was unwilling to give up. After arriving in the county, he would occasionally make plans for his son. If his son stayed here, studied and learned calligraphy when he grew up, he didn't dare to think about taking the imperial examination and becoming an official. He could still be an accountant. It was decent and not as good as in the town.
Is there a future for someone who studies wood carving?
Lu Yuanwu didn't want to go back. He was locked in that small yard every day, carving and carving, but the key was that he couldn't sell it for money. The family had worked hard for a year, but it was not as good as a month's rent for two shops.
Not to mention Lu Yuanqing, she is now sixteen. If the Lu family had not changed drastically this year, she would have made a marriage decision long ago. How good could it be to marry in the town? It is easier to marry in the village and face the loess for the rest of her life.
, the child she gave birth to was also a farmer who depended on the weather. If she married into a city, any family would be better than the one in the town. So, she didn’t want to go back no matter what.
The three of them refused to leave. After looking at each other, they could all tell what the other two were thinking. Lu Yuanqing gritted his teeth and said: "We are just kneeling here. She is our mother, and she will definitely not want to see us hurt. If the dog really comes,
Bite, let it bite, maybe it’s injured, let’s go in?”
Lu Yuanwu looked at the barking dog over there and was a little scared. He didn't say anything for a while.
Lu Yuanwen was convinced, and he straightened his back straighter: "My little sister is right, let's just wait here! At worst, we have to kneel down for a few days, and then my mother will definitely forgive us."
The three of them swore steadfastly, and even Lu Yuanwu was forced by his brother and sister to swear not to run away first, and that he had to enter the house this time.
Fortunately, Mrs. Lin did not untie the dog over there. A group of dogs were barking and barking. They were probably tired, so they just lay on the ground and watched them warily.
After an hour, the knees of the three of them began to hurt, and their backs could not hold up any longer. They just wanted to sit on the ground and rest for a while. Gradually, their buttocks sat on their legs. But the three of them knew in their hearts that they wanted to soften their hearts.
Cold mother, this is just the beginning.
Yes, during this time, they also discovered that their mother's heart was very cold and hard. They didn't know whether it was because she was hurt or because she had always been like this.
Another two hours passed, and the sky gradually darkened. The three of them were all a little desperate. After kneeling for so long, they felt like they could not get in no matter how long they knelt.
When they were desperate, they heard the sound of the door opening. The three of them were immediately shocked and straightened their backs. They were a little disappointed when they saw the person coming out.
Not the mother, but that Mrs. Lin.
In any case, thank God, someone finally came out to take care of them. The three of them were full of expectations, but they saw Mrs. Lin opening the door, bending down to pick up a pot of things on the ground, and then heading towards the dog house.
Three people: "..." They have been making trouble for a long time, but it turns out they are feeding the dogs?
Just when she was frustrated, she smelled the familiar aroma of meat. Mrs. Lin put the basin in front of the dog house and sighed: "The chicken soup that I stewed yesterday was not liked by the master, so it is an advantage for you. After eating, look after the house and don't let the wrong people in."
People come in."
The last sentence means something.
Lu Yuanwen snorted coldly: "Dogs look down on people. Wait until later..." If they enter the door, they are also the master. This Mrs. Lin is just a servant. Shouldn't she just let them pinch her and flatten her?
Lu Yuanwu thought so.
They are kneeling here to beg their mother, not to be ridiculed by a servant.
Lu Yuanqing couldn't keep her spirits up. The girl's physical strength was not as good as that of the man. She felt dizzy, her knees hurt, and she felt like she wouldn't be able to hold on any longer.
Just when I was thinking about whether I was pretending to be faint or just pretending to be faint, I saw another person at the door. She was wearing light blue clothes and it was my mother.
Lu Yuanqing fell softly to the ground. When he fell, he was still thinking about how to look more pitiful. Then he heard the woman's cold voice coming from the door: "Remember to let the dog out."
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
Mrs. Lin responded: "Originally, I wanted to let them go. But these dogs are too fierce. I'm afraid they'll bite me, so I don't dare to get close. It's just right to let them go now."
Lu Yuanqing's half-downed body suddenly stood up. The two brothers beside him looked at each other, and the three of them became energetic instantly.
But I saw that Mrs. Lin over there had already cut the rope around the dog's neck. The four or five dogs were just eating at this time, and they couldn't care about them?
Lu Yuanwu asked in a low voice: "Brother, what should we do?"
Lu Yuanwen gritted his teeth: "Just do what we agreed before."
Bitter meat scheme!
So, the three of them knelt upright in shock. Watching a group of dogs over there eating up the chicken in the basin and licking up the soup, they finally raised their eyes and looked over here.
