Mrs. Li was simply dissatisfied that Mr. He had given all of her family's money to her former sister-in-law.
The sisters-in-law were already estranged from each other. Previously, they were both wives of the Lin family, and Li was the younger one, so the elders had more favoritism. And because she came into the house and gave birth to a child, she was even more loved by her mother-in-law. On the contrary, Luo was the younger one.
Hong Yue had a particularly difficult few years.
Although she didn't say it, Mrs. Li felt a bit superior to her sister-in-law.
But now, all the money owned by the Lin family has been given to her.
If it weren't for the fact that the rest of the family was also furious, Ms. Li would have suspected that her mother-in-law had deliberately given the family savings to the twins.
In the final analysis, Mrs. Li dared to be rude to her mother-in-law because the Lin family was in dire straits. As she said, Mrs. He used to say things at all times and change her daughter-in-law if she disobeyed.
But does she dare to say this now?
Ms. Li knew how hard she was, and her mother-in-law didn't dare to drive her away. So, she choked and refused to do it. Who could do anything to her?
Mrs. He also knew in her heart that firstly, her daughter-in-law was not happy that she gave money to others. Secondly, because she felt that she did not have any money on hand and there was no need to be respectful.
Seeing Mrs. Li leaving without looking back, Mr. He gritted his teeth.
Regardless of the opinions of the villagers or the current life of the Lin family, we cannot continue like this. No matter what, the Lin family must turn over!
During the Chinese New Year, every family was buying new year's goods. Mr. He also took her daughter to the town.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, villagers who are usually reluctant to buy things will grit their teeth and take out some money to buy some food and clothing to celebrate the New Year.
For example, the roast chicken in town.
I have long heard that the roast chicken is delicious, but because it is a bit expensive, if you buy half a chicken, you can eat more than a pound of meat. The roast chicken is only more than a pound, and it is all lean meat. There are still bones in it, and the meat is
It's all fat meat, very nourishing.
It seems that the latter is more cost-effective. Usually, even if people in the village want to eat meat, they will buy pork instead of roast chicken. But it is different during the New Year. After working hard for a year, it is not too much to buy a roast chicken to satisfy the craving.
There are so many people thinking this way, so the two roast chicken shops have been very busy recently. They can't even buy chicken in the town.
Chu Yunli has saved more than three taels of silver, which can buy one acre of land. If she buys barren hills, she can buy three acres. She plans to use the money to buy a barren hill near the town to raise chickens.
Going to the market today, there was a carriage going to the town from the village. Chu Yunli took the carriage at the entrance of the village and happened to meet the mother and daughter of He.
The two sides could be said to be disgusted with each other, Chu Yunli pretended they didn't exist. He was not so generous, and would glare secretly from time to time.
The carriage of the Yang family in the village is the best and the most tightly packed. The stools people sit on in the carriage are all wrapped with cloth, making it very comfortable to sit on in the winter. Many people in the village have inquired about the Yang family's trip to town.
At this time, I came here to wait for a ride.
Chu Yunli didn't care about this, it was really a coincidence. Old Man Yang saw several people at the entrance of the village from a distance, and they all knew that Luo Hongyue was generous. As soon as he reined in the horse, the carriage stopped right in front of Chu Yunli.
She thanked her with a smile, climbed into the carriage, smiled at the ugly-looking mother and daughter behind her, and then looked at everyone: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I paid for this ride, so I can give you New Year greetings in advance.
"
The people in the village were used to being thrifty. When they heard this, they were immediately overjoyed and thanked her after climbing onto the carriage.
Subconsciously, I ignored the mother and daughter over there.
He had been wandering around the village a lot before, and anyone who had a good relationship with her didn't pay much attention to Chu Yunli.
Of course, because Chu Yunli was generous and her two children, Yuxue, were cute, few people could resist talking to her. He and everyone failed to achieve their goal of isolating her.
Hearing that someone was taking advantage of them, the carriage was quickly filled with people. The crowd followed the carriage away with chatter, leaving the mother and daughter alone at the entrance of the village.
Chu Yunli didn't feel guilty at all. He's previous attempts to isolate her were quite effective. Now it's just tit for tat.
Things that could be solved with money were no big deal. Chu Yunli went directly to Fucheng to find the master of the Yamen.
At present, the people can barely maintain food and clothing, and the imperial court has been encouraging land reclamation. Chu Yunli's willingness to spend money to buy wasteland can be regarded as a merit of the local officials, and he quickly obtained the deed.
It was already past noon when he came out of the Yamen. Chu Yunli was a little hungry, so he went to a restaurant to eat first.
After the meal was over and the things had been done, Chu Yunli planned to go home. After all, there were two young children at home. Although she was relieved about Sister-in-law Li, the Lin family was watching her with eager eyes and did not dare to relax too much.
I left the restaurant and went to rent a carriage. Before I had gone far, I saw someone familiar.
Lin Xueyi was dressed in bright red. She had lost a lot of weight recently. The cloak hung on her body, as if it was crushing her. At this time, she had exquisite makeup and black hair. She was really a pitiful beauty.
Dressing like this is not cheap, and it would be difficult for the Lin family to buy one now. Besides, she was not dressed like this when she went out in the morning.
Walking down the street dressed like this is definitely not as simple as buying new year's goods. Besides, the things on this street are quite exquisite, and even the Lin family can't afford them nowadays.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunli stopped leaving and looked over there with interest.
As the New Year approaches, wealthy families also need to buy New Year's goods, not just food and clothing, but also New Year's gifts for each family. And some gifts have to be picked by the master himself. Therefore, there are more wealthy carriages on the street than usual.
A lot more.
Chu Yunli had just finished her meal and was not in a hurry. She thought she would have to wait for a long time. Unexpectedly, within a quarter of an hour, she saw Lin Xueyi on the side of the road rushing towards the carriage in the middle of the road... and then she bumped into it.
After getting out of the carriage, he fell softly to the ground, unconscious.
The carriage hit someone and stopped naturally. The driver jumped out in a hurry and saw a hibiscus face exposed in a bright red ball on the roadside. He wanted to get closer but was afraid of being rude. He was at a loss for a while.
In the carriage behind him, first a boy came down, and then a wealthy man in ink-colored clothes slowly came down. When he saw the woman on the ground, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he ordered: "Since you bumped into someone, hurry up and help her."
Go to the hospital."
Thinking of something again, he looked at the onlookers and said, "Does anyone know this girl? If not, I will take her for treatment first. If you know her, please tell her family to go to Kangfu Medical Center to pick her up."
Neither the boy nor the driver wanted to be rude to a beautiful woman. The rich man looked around and everyone subconsciously took a step back.
Chu Yunli's eyes turned and she stepped forward and said, "There are differences between men and women. Do you need help?"
Mr. Fugui had already rolled up his sleeves and was about to bend down to hug someone. When he heard this, he raised his head and was a little unhappy. But he couldn't get angry in front of everyone, so he just nodded and said: "Excuse me, I will pay you later."
"No need!" Chu Yunli bent down to help the person up, and said with a smile: "It's just convenient, what do you want as a thank you gift?"
Chu Yunli reached out to help her up. She felt the fragrance in her breath and sent her to the carriage. However, she suddenly felt a pain in her waist.
Chu Yunli: "..."
Do you feel like you have ruined her business and are you warning yourself?
Immediately, Chu Yunli gritted his teeth and endured it. When he helped the person onto the carriage, it seemed that his strength was not enough. As soon as his hand was loosened, the unconscious person fell straight down.
When people fall, they will subconsciously grab it. The same goes for Lin Xueyi. She raised her hand and grabbed the curtain of the carriage. She did not fall when she fell, but it also completely exposed the fact that she was not fainted.
The onlookers were in an uproar.
The rich man raised his eyebrows: "Girl, this is..."
Lin Xueyi's face was red with embarrassment, and she bowed: "Actually, I woke up just now, but I'm just embarrassed to admit it in front of so many people. What happened today was due to Xueyi's own carelessness and it's none of your business. I excepted my elbow.
It hurts a little, but I don’t feel any discomfort at all, so let’s just leave it at that.”
After saying this, he bowed again, turned around and left.
The master's eyes were full of admiration, and he suddenly said: "Where does the girl live? My carriage hit you, so you should pay compensation. Even if you don't feel sick, I should send you back and give you an apology."
Lin Xueyi blushed even more with embarrassment: "It's inconvenient. My parents taught me to be reserved and don't allow me to interact with men. If they find out, they will break my legs."
"My surname is Chen, and I am the third master of the Chen family from Anxiang Street. The Chen family is famous for being kind in business. Your father must have heard of it." Mr. Chen suggested: "Let's do this. I will send you back and follow him in person.
He explained."
"No need." Lin Xueyi took a step back: "My father will beat me."
"Then I'll marry you. He won't blame you anymore, right?" With that said, Master Chen pulled off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Lin Xueyi: "This is considered a small deal, as long as you accept it,
Even if our marriage is settled, we are an unmarried couple. If the fiancé sends his fiancée home, shouldn't he deserve his share?"
Lin Xueyi lowered her head: "Marriage is a major matter, and it is the order of the parents."
Everyone thought it was funny, this was a girl who wanted to cling to her, and the person she was clinging to was also happy to cling to her, and they hit it off right away.
Sure enough, Master Chen over there raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Then I will go and propose marriage to your father in person."
Chu Yunli stood on the side and watched from beginning to end. During this period, Lin Xueyi glared at her several times without any trace, with warning in his eyes.
As for Chu Yunli, as long as it's what she wants to do, she doesn't care what others think. Seeing Lin Xueyi glaring over again, she coughed: "Master, don't you think it's too hasty to make a marriage decision like this?
"
She was dressed as a woman. Although Mr. Chen took a few more glances, he was not interested at all. When he heard this, he looked unhappy: "Who are you? Do you have any control over what I do?"
"I don't care." Chu Yunli said seriously: "But I like to help, and I don't want anyone to be cheated."
Lin Xueyi glared over again: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Chu Yunli smiled: "I'm just telling the truth. It's okay if you didn't bump into me today. If you bumped into me, I can only blame you for your bad luck." He then raised his eyes to look at the impatient Chen Sanye and said with a smile: "This
Master, I wonder if you still remember the concubine that Master Wan kicked out at the gate of the government office a few months ago? She was the one who had a miscarriage but continued to pretend that she was pregnant, and finally gave birth to a child who died in infancy.
Auntie Lin who is making up the numbers?"
There are only a few cases in the government office every year. This case in Wanfu is quite rare. Many people in the city have heard of it. When she reminded them, everyone looked at Lin Xueyi again and suddenly realized.
A woman clapped her hands and suddenly said: "I just said she looked familiar! I thought I had seen her somewhere, but it turned out to be in the government office! At that time, she was still beaten by Mrs. Wan and couldn't stand up, so she found a carriage to go home.
of."
"It turns out to be her!"
…
Chen Sanye: "..."
He wished he could crush the jade pendant in his hand into powder and pretend that what happened today never happened.
