923, the original partner who refuses to give way fourteen
People around him were pointing fingers, and some were surprised that Hu Qili couldn't even beat a woman.
Hearing everyone's discussion, Hu Qili felt even more aggrieved. He had been able to beat her before, but recently this woman kept pricking her with needles. He didn't know where she learned how to do it.
He even wanted to ask if every woman who was cornered was like this.
Since he couldn't get any advantage, Hu Qili didn't want to be laughed at, so he quickly got up and left.
Chu Yunli watched him run away, feeling quite satisfied. Mrs. Lin came over with a smile and pulled her through the door.
Chu Yunli's attitude toward this aunt was average. Although she had helped indirectly last time, she had contributed a lot to Lin Xuniang's marriage to the Hu family. Moreover, when Lin was looking for a matchmaker, she knew about the relationship between Hu Qili and Zhou Roulan.
Three things.
Although Mrs. Lin did not think that the two would never forget each other at that time, nor did she know that they would miss each other for ten years. However, Lin Xuniang's tragic life was indeed caused by her.
Speaking of Mrs. Lin, she was right, but Lin Xuniang also showed her anger.
Chu Yunli would let her in because she had helped him when they were leaving.
Mrs. Lin didn't eat, she just sat and chatted. There were guests nearby, and neither mother nor son could eat well. Plus, Hu Qili came and made a scene, so they all lost their appetite. They took a few bites and put away the dishes.
When Chu Yunli was putting away the dishes and chopsticks, Mrs. Lin followed her.
Later, Chu Yunli went to the kitchen to wash dishes, and she leaned against the door frame. When she saw two children in the yard over there picking up wood again, she whispered: "It has been three months since we were separated. We have plans for the future."
?"
As soon as she heard this, Chu Yunli knew that she wanted to keep the match again. She was speechless and asked, "Am I not doing well? What else do I have to plan?"
Lin was speechless.
Earning eight taels in five days, even if this kind of good thing doesn't happen every day. Opening a business once a year is enough. It really can't be considered a bad life. But as a matchmaker, helping people matchmaking is easy, so he immediately smiled and said: "
It's different if there is no man in this house. If you live with two children, there will definitely be rumors and rumors outside. Besides, you are still young. If you just stop looking for it, wouldn't you be lonely? Then Hu Qili is not a thing at all. Do you still want to
Guard him?"
Chu Yunli washed just a few bowls quickly and said, "In order not to be guarded by him, I have to find a random man to marry?"
Mrs. Lin found that her niece was very sharp-tempered now, but she had never seen anyone before, so she was not angry. She continued to smile and said: "That's not what I meant. It's just that you are living a difficult life with two children. It's best to find someone to protect you."
You can also know how cold it is and how hot it is, and you can still take care of each other when you get old."
Whether Chu Yunli should marry or not was not decided by others. He said casually: "How can it be so easy for a married couple to be married in the middle of the road? This man who has been married for ten years and has two children can still fly. What about the headband of his second marriage?"
It’s even more difficult for a man to live with a child.”
This is not nonsense. Lin Xuniang is now nearly 30 years old. If she wants to remarry, it is impossible for her to marry a man who is not married at the age of 30. There are very few divorces, and it is very likely that she is a widower with children. If there is a relationship between this couple
With their own children mixed in, it is difficult to be united. Furthermore, after marriage, it is not only a man and his children, but also the man’s parents and sisters-in-law. Not to mention Chu Yunli, it is Lin Xuniang
Here, maybe I don’t want to get married again.
"You can't say that." Ms. Lin said with a smile: "As long as we can sleep together, it is fate cultivated in the past life. It is said that love lasts for a long time. You are still young, and the person you marry will only be in his early thirties at most.
It’s only been more than ten years since you got married, but you two still have thirty years left in the future. Even if you can’t read, you should know that thirty years is much longer than fifteen, right? You two are getting along better than your first wife.
It will take a long time. Regardless of whether you are the original match or not, you will be together for the rest of your life."
Chu Yunli was cleaning the table, and Mrs. Lin did not delay her work. She could still say a few words: "But some people can still miss each other after being separated for more than ten years..."
Mrs. Lin interrupted her: "The living are different from the dead. As long as the person is still there, there is still hope in the heart. The person is already dead, so it is unnecessary to worry about him."
Listen carefully, Mrs. Lin really plans to find a widower for her.
Chu Yunli threw the handkerchief into the water, then wrung it out: "Auntie, you are wrong again. How can a living person be better than a dead person? When the person is gone, it is her fault that everyone thinks about. Whatever I do
It’s not good, I’m just not as good as her. The key is that the person is gone and I can’t even compete with her.” She waved her hand: “Stop it, I don’t plan to marry again. If I meet someone like Hu Qili, I’m already down.
It’s been eight lifetimes of bad luck. With these two kids dragging me down, I finally managed to pick up the energy and continue living my life. If one more comes up, I’ll just hang him.”
Even talking about dying, Mrs. Lin was so full of words of persuasion that she couldn't say anything. She could only say angrily: "I am really kind-hearted, and the person is really nice. I thought that I would not leave anyone else's land, so I came up with the idea."
Chu Yunli smiled: "How good is it? Do you earn as much as me? Do you have as much wealth as me?"
Lin was speechless.
Seeing this, Chu Yunli said calmly: "Since you are not as good as me, why do you think you are taking care of me? Doesn't that mean I take care of him?"
She couldn't say that, and Mrs. Lin subconsciously wanted to refute, but Chu Yunli had already said: "Auntie, I am already at this age, and I can make people laugh when I talk about love. It is the simplest truth. After getting married,
Can I live a better life than now? If I can, I can think about it. If not, what will I do when I get married? Should I give flowers to others with the money that belongs to them at home?
After a few questions, Mrs. Lin was speechless. She continued: "If you want to secure a matchmaker, don't point at me. There are so many unmarried girls out there, help them."
This is quite rude.
It's just like saying that Ms. Lin has nothing to do after she's full and thinks she's too busy.
Ms. Lin has walked through many families over the years, and most of them treat her very warmly. She occasionally hears some sarcastic comments. However, Lin Xu is her junior, and she was the matchmaker in the previous marriage, so they are really not doing well.
. Now that these words have fallen into Lin’s ears, her niece is a little angry with herself.
Regarding the Hu family's marriage, Mrs. Lin felt a little aggrieved.
No matchmaker can guarantee the birth of a son. Similarly, although the matchmaker exaggerates the advantages of both men and women, it is the two families who make the final decision. Whether or not this can be a good life, how good it is, ultimately depends on the two families.
young people.
When the Lin and Hu families got married, at first glance, it seemed that the Hu family was a little bit worse, but Hu Qili was a really good person. If someone else had given him so much furniture, he might not have been able to earn nearly a hundred taels of silver. After so many years
, Lin Xuniang and the Lin family are indeed living well, and this marriage cannot be said to have failed. After all, even if they divorce, the niece has earned two shops. If she marries someone else, can she earn so much?
Come to think of it, Mrs. Lin still thinks that her niece is not good at coaxing others. Otherwise, why would a man still miss his former sweetheart after ten years of marriage and two children?
The two broke up on bad terms.
Chu Yunli offended people, and now everyone in the town knew that she sold a wood carving for eight taels. There were so many people who wanted to marry her, and if she was ambiguous about remarriage, she would be in trouble in the future.
.
For someone like Lin, if you reject her politely, she will think you are embarrassed, so you have to say something cold like that. If she understands, she will naturally not come to your door.
In the next few days, Chu Yunli saw no outsiders. Five days later, a man came from the city. After carefully inspecting the wood carvings, he gave her seven taels of silver. He also asked her to carve more things with good meanings. Over at Baoyu Zhai,
As much as you want.
The guy said these words when he was giving money.
It is said that wealth should not be exposed, but to give money, you have to find a hidden place. Therefore, when the waiter said these words, there was no one around. Hu Qinglin looked excited and wished he could go out to carve wood immediately.
As the men came and went, word spread that Lin Xuniang's wood carvings could be sold for money. Many people were interested in asking several matchmakers from the town to propose marriage.
It is worth mentioning that there are even young men here who were several years younger than Lin Xuniang because of unexpected delays in getting married.
These people never showed up before Chu Yunli left the Hu family and sold the wood carvings. When they jumped out at this time, all fools knew why. Everyone laughed at them, and some were also curious about whether Lin Xuniang would marry again.
Of course Chu Yunli didn't want to marry, so she dismissed him with just a few words. When she met someone who refused to give up, she would even curse them directly.
After all, you can't let others feel that you are a piece of dough that can be kneaded and flattened by others.
Seeing everyone's emotions fluctuating, Mrs. Li, who had recovered from her illness, really regretted it at this time.
It is said that a person does not know whether his family members are humans or ghosts until they are sick. She has been sick in bed these days and really has nothing to eat unless she takes action. Even if she directly orders her son, Zhou Roulan will find an excuse to take her away.
.
After these few days, Mrs. Li has finally seen her new daughter-in-law clearly. If she had known this, why would she bother?
She couldn't count on a minor illness, and she would really fall ill in bed... As long as she thought about it, she felt very uncomfortable. When she heard that Lin Xuniang's wood carvings were worth so much money, she regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.
She wanted her son to marry Lin Xuniang again, but seeing how much her son cared about Zhou Roulan, she could only think about it.
The illness was gone. Although Mr. Li was much better, his hands and feet were weak, and his whole body was sore. He didn't want to move, so he just lay on the bed, thinking a lot, but when he recalled it, he seemed to have thought of nothing.
The yard outside was quiet, and it was already past meal time. Mrs. Li was so hungry that she reluctantly got up and went out. She looked around the yard and found that it was not her imagination. There was no one in the yard, and the pot was still cold in the kitchen.
Cold stove.
Mrs. Li felt that she could not go on like this.
Thinking of the time when Lin Xuniang stole the family's money, but said that the whole family was not stealing... An idea suddenly came to Li's mind.
She ran to bolt the front and back doors, and then went to the main room.
After searching the main room inside and out, apart from the jewelry on the table, I found a few copper plates.
She was a little unwilling and stood in the room with her arms akimbo for a long time, searching carefully with her eyes. Zhou Roulan had been a concubine for many years, and when she came back, she was so rich that there was no way she would be without money.
She raised her eyes and saw the beams, and her heart moved. She went out, moved the ladder, and climbed up.
Then, she saw a delicate little box, and she hurriedly picked it up and opened it... She expected to see banknotes and deeds, but it turned out that it was empty!
Mrs. Li was so angry that she smashed the box in her hand on the ground.
