921, the original partner who refuses to give way twelve
No matter how dissatisfied Ms. Li is, there is nothing she can do if her son and daughter-in-law do not give her money.
But the disease had to be cured, and since she had no money, she went to a medical clinic in town to get a loan.
The niece of the doctor at the medical clinic is the second daughter-in-law of the Lin family. Originally, many families in the town and village sometimes had difficulty with money or could not pay for medicines temporarily, so the doctor would give medicine first. After all, saving people was the most important thing.
But when Mr. Li came to visit, he refused to accept credit and had to hand over the money with one hand and the medicine with the other.
Mrs. Li knew the rules of the medical clinic. Before she came to get the medicine, she never thought that there was a possibility that she would not be able to get it. There were so many people in the medical clinic who took credit, and she was even somewhat confident when she asked for credit.
Unexpectedly, in front of everyone, the doctor directly refused, making her immediately embarrassed.
She felt embarrassed and said a few more words, but the doctor still refused to give the medicine. She couldn't stay any longer and quickly went home.
On the way back, Mrs. Li was full of resentment, thinking that Zhou Roulan's rich family would not even buy her medicine... In fact, she regretted it a little. It was indeed important for her daughter-in-law to have family wealth, but first of all, her daughter-in-law had a filial piety.
Otherwise, she just has tens of millions of taels of silver. If she doesn't spend it, what's the difference between it and nothing?
Chu Yunli's shop is in a much better location than Hu's shop. It is on the main street, and a carriage is parked outside the shop at the moment.
The shopkeeper of Baoyu Zhai in the city arrived in person.
Last time, the mother and son took the wood carvings to the city to inquire about the price. Bao Yuzhai gave them the best price, and the shopkeeper was the most kind. He also told them what kind of wood carvings the wealthy families in the city liked, and what kind of things they could carve without worrying about selling.
I came here today because a wealthy lady took notice of the wood carving of a woman holding a child that Chu Yunli carved last time.
Chu Yunli remembered the wooden sculpture of a woman holding two fat dolls, which was lifelike and lively. The shopkeeper came here just for this reason: "The lady said that she had two daughters who got married a month before and after, so she wanted to
Give them this wooden carving, which means many children and good fortune. Sisters, my wife wants a bowl of water and two identical wooden carvings... Rich families have no shortage of money at all. As long as you can afford the price, they will give it to them.
Dare to pay. If you don't have anything ready-made, you can carve it within five days." He took out a purse and put it on the table: "This is the deposit. As long as you can come up with the wood carving, there is nothing better than the three-digit carving in this purse.
I’ll give you twice the amount of silver.”
When the carriage came from Fucheng, many people in the town came to watch the excitement. Those who were close naturally heard the shopkeeper's words. Seeing the high bulge in the purse, there were at least two taels of small silver ingots. There were three times more... wouldn't it?
Eight taels in total?
Moreover, he will come and get it in five days... If he can't get it out, there is no need for the shopkeeper to make this trip. Since he is here, it proves that the wood carving can be made within five days.
You can earn eight taels of silver in five days, and turning stone into gold is nothing more than that.
Mrs. Li returned home full of shame. When she passed by Chu Yunli's shop, she saw people gathered in groups talking in groups. She couldn't help but stepped forward. Before she even asked, someone nearby told her that this was a strange thing.
Already.
It has been nearly three months since the two families reconciled, and it has been more than two months since Hu Qili married again. The people in the town were very forgetful. After talking, they remembered that the person who could exchange wood for money was Li's former daughter-in-law.
Somewhat embarrassing.
Mrs. Li was full of remorse, and she already had a headache. Now her intestines were turning blue, and her head hurt even more. From the corner of her eye, she saw Hu Qinghe who was wiping dust in the shop, her eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped forward: "Qinghe,
Where is your mother?"
Hu Qinghe turned around and saw her grandmother, and was a little surprised. When she heard her question, she subconsciously became wary: "What are you doing with my mother?"
Mrs. Li rubbed her eyebrows and said, "I have a headache. The doctor refuses to give me credit, so he asked your mother to lend me some money."
She said it matter of course. Hu Qinghe was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he was a little at a loss: "I'll go call my mother."
She knew that what her grandmother did was wrong, but she had been taught since she was a child to be filial to her elders. Although her grandmother gave instructions, she wanted to refuse, but she didn't know how to refuse.
Chu Yunli was choosing wood at the back. She couldn't fool someone who was willing to spend eight taels of silver. This business relied on repeat customers. Since a lady from a wealthy family had noticed her wood carvings, it was likely that there would be a dispute among the ladies from various families.
spread, and it was time for her to really make money.
When she heard Hu Qinghe tell her that Mrs. Li had arrived, Chu Yunli threw away the wood, rolled up her sleeves and went out happily.
Just when she was feeling bored, Mr. Li came to join her.
When Mrs. Li saw her, she said casually: "Xu Niang, give me a tael of silver, I want to buy medicine."
She said it as a matter of course, as if the two of them were still mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Chu Yunli looked her up and down: "Have you been so miserable after leaving me?"
Li: "..."
Chu Yunli didn't wait for her answer, and continued: "Back then, you kept saying you wanted to marry me, and it was your Hu family that was in trouble for eight lifetimes. Now that I have left, your Hu family's luck is not only bad, but they don't even have the money to buy medicine."
, on the contrary, it is even worse. Let me tell you, not only am I not unlucky, I am also prosperous. At least in all the years I have been here, your family has not been short of money, right?"
Li was speechless.
She clearly came here to ask for money, but she was ridiculed. How could she be willing to do so? She said straightforwardly: "Whatever you say. But I don't have money to buy medicine now. Although I am no longer your mother-in-law, I am still your elder, right? She is still Qinglin's."
Grandma, right? It doesn’t make sense that you enjoy the popular food and drink spicy food, but I can only die of illness! There is no such reason in the world. I borrowed this money, and I will pay it back in the future."
"What do you want to repay?" Chu Yunli folded his arms and looked her up and down: "It's not that I look down on you, but your Hu family's two shops are now closed, and your own food and drink are no longer a problem, so you still want to repay the debt? You don't have enough money to pay back the debt.
You don’t plan to pay it back, do you?”
Li really had no intention of paying it back.
But being exposed so directly, she certainly refused to admit it: "I will definitely pay it back!"
"I don't believe you." The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law argued. After a while, people who had not left to watch the excitement gathered around again, even more people than before. Chu Yunli said seriously: "I have been here for ten years, you give me your money
He hid so much in his pocket..."
She raised her eyes to look at the crowd and explained, "We have been married for ten years and have two children. Life has been easy, but they insisted on making trouble with me and divorced me. I couldn't understand it, and I didn't want to leave, so I got angry and wanted to leave.
The Hu family gave me all the money they had earned from the Lin family in the past ten years, including the money for repairing the shop. I also knew that this condition was outrageous, but I had no intention of leaving. I just deliberately asked them to take back the money.
I wanted to leave. But I never expected that they would actually agree to such an outrageous condition! Later, the money to repair the shop was not available, so it came from her private room... Those of you who are older should still remember that back then.
Before I married into the Hu family, what kind of life did they live? The child's grandmother actually took out eight taels of silver. In just ten years, she had saved so much. If she hadn't taken it from the shop, could it have been a conjuration?
of?"
Li opened her mouth to retort: "You don't care where I came from! Besides, we didn't actively give Qili's money to you, but you stole it and were unwilling to take it out."
"Knowing that he has a wild woman outside, how could I still leave the money there? The Hu family's money is earned from my mother's family. If I use it to raise a wild woman, even if I want to, my father will not agree." Chu Yunli
Indifferent: "Besides, although the money is in my hands, I don't want to leave. As long as we are husband and wife, the money will still be in the Hu family, but you still let me leave. This shows that in your eyes, Zhou Roulan
It is more important than this money. Since she is so important, what money do you want from me?"
Li: "..." No matter how good Zhou Roulan is, she still doesn't treat illnesses!
Instead of asking for the money, he was ridiculed. Originally, the people in the town had almost forgotten what happened two or three months ago, but now that she mentioned it, everyone inevitably started talking about the Hu family's affairs again.
Mrs. Li felt her head hurt even more when someone pointed at her, so she turned around and ran away.
Seeing her leaving, everyone gradually dispersed.
Chu Yunli stood at the door of the shop, feeling a little unfinished. In fact, the person she wanted to scold most was Zhou Roulan, but unfortunately that woman was smart and never came in front of her to scold her.
However, just now she saw that Mrs. Li was indeed ill. A little later, she also heard that the medical clinic did not accept credit... In other words, Mrs. Li really needed to buy medicine, but she really didn't have any.
Money buys medicine.
In other words, the money in Zhou Roulan's hands is very tight, at least Li can't get it.
The Hu family is having a hard time nowadays, and Zhou Roulan refuses to help, so sooner or later there will be a fight.
Thinking of these, Chu Yunli felt better and better.
…
Mrs. Li hurriedly returned to Hu's house. As soon as she entered the house, before she could take a breath, she saw her son's face looking unkind.
Hu Qili asked impatiently: "It's time to make lunch, where did you go?"
When she was sick, her son didn't say a word of concern. Instead, she asked her to work. In addition to being sad, Li became even more resentful towards Zhou Roulan.
During the ten years that Lin Xu Niang had been her daughter-in-law, she had never left anything to her. No matter at home or outside, Lin Xu Niang would take the initiative to do things. Waiting for her to come back to cook, other than Lin Xu
When my mother was in confinement, she never had it once.
Immediately, Mrs. Li got angry and said, "I said I had a headache, have you forgotten? The medical center refuses to give me credit, and I haven't taken the medicine yet. You're still waiting for me to come back to work. Are you trying to force me to death?"
"
Hu Qili: "...I can't cook either!"
Li: "..." She didn't want her son to cook. Over the years, her son had only entered the kitchen a handful of times. Besides, his son had never cooked.
She just raised her voice carefully, because she really wanted to say something to Zhou Roulan.
At this moment, there was no movement at all in the main room. I don't know if I didn't hear it or just pretended not to hear it.
Ms. Li really didn't want to give in. She felt that she needed to show off her mother-in-law's character, and went into the house holding her head: "I have a headache, and I feel like I'm going to die. Let alone cooking, I just don't have the appetite to eat. You guys?"
It's up to you."
She went back to her room and lay down, thinking that she would have something to eat in a while. She fell asleep as soon as she lay down, and when she woke up again, the sun was already setting, and in the yard outside, the young couple were walking around in circles to eat.
And he was whispering about what would happen to the child in the future.
Mrs. Li was a little confused and the pain was worse than in the morning. She couldn't help but ask: "Have you eaten?"
Zhou Roulan smiled and said: "After eating, I asked the Li's Restaurant over there to send three dishes and one soup. I heard that you had no appetite, so we didn't call you. We were afraid of waste, so we finished all."
