The Chen family has been rich for hundreds of years, so Mr. Chen is naturally not a lustful playboy. He can just pick any woman on the street and become Mrs. Chen.
The reason why he was like this was because Mrs. Chen San had her anniversary celebration two days ago, and it was the rule of wealthy families to observe mourning for one year.
At this age, Mr. Chen Sanye already has a son and a daughter. His legitimate son is already twelve years old this year and is already learning to do business. If he marries a well-matched girl as his stepmother and gives birth to children in the future... everyone says that legitimate concubines are not allowed to do so.
Divide is the source of chaos in the family. The relationship between the legitimate son and the legitimate son from the stepmother is actually even worse.
A harmonious family can make everything prosperous. Chen Sanye's wife's natal family is also considered wealthy and will definitely help her son fight for the family property. In order to prevent troubles in the future, Chen Sanye made up his mind early on that he would choose a step-brother who was born low-born.
Yes, just stay in the house and don't let her have children. In this way, there should be less disputes.
The step-brother's family background is low and he has no children, so he will definitely not dare to fight with his children.
Men are all lustful. In the past, to marry a wife, you had to choose a well-matched wife, so the choice was based on the family background. As long as the family background was suitable, the girl's own appearance and temperament did not matter so much.
Now when marrying a step-brother, if you don't care about your family background, you have to choose a good-looking one. The moment he saw Lin Xueyi, Mr. Chen was moved.
I just thought she was a woman who wanted to be rich and powerful, but who knew she had actually been a concubine before.
Wanfu is quite famous in the city, and everyone who does business knows about it. As long as Mr. Chen thinks that his wife is the concubine that Mr. Wan does not want...not to mention outsiders, he himself despises himself.
Thinking of this, Mr. Chen's face became darker and darker.
Lin Xueyi saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart. She hated her ex-sister-in-law in her heart, but nothing she said was right at this time and she was panicking when she heard Mr. Chen's order: "Go back home."
He actually had to leave these things behind and go home!
How could Lin Xueyi endure it?
In order to buy the clothes she was wearing, she even borrowed money... This was an accident. She had planned to go back to Wanfu to borrow from her former little sister, but found that they were unwilling to pay attention to her at all.
It was not easy for the two of them, mother and daughter, to come to Fucheng. Lin Xueyi was unwilling to go back in such a dejected state. It was the Chinese New Year or there was no meat to eat, and she might be hungry. So she gritted her teeth and ran to the gambling house to borrow three taels of silver.
.
But the interest is doubled. One month later, you have to pay back six taels, and the next month you have to pay twelve taels. It’s so evil.
Lin Xueyi had already made up her mind. This time she could only succeed, not fail. Seeing that things were about to come to fruition, who knew that an ex-sister-in-law would appear halfway through?
If he had known in advance that she was coming to Fucheng, Lin Xueyi would definitely have gone around her! Thinking about all this now is in vain. The most important thing is to get the money. Lin Xueyi didn't want to be sold to those dirty places because she couldn't pay back the interest, so she immediately pounced on her.
Arriving on the carriage: "Mr. Chen, I don't want to explain everything here. But today... I really didn't plot against you. I was indeed carried away by your carriage. My arm still hurts now."
Chen Sanye snorted coldly and threw out a silver ingot: "Is that enough? If that's enough, get out of the way. A good dog won't block the way."
The tone is harsh.
His expression and tone were completely different from when he asked to marry her just now. It was as if they were two different people.
Lin Xueyi felt humiliated, but she still bent down and picked up the silver ingot.
There are five taels, which is a profit.
The carriage drove away and the crowd gradually dispersed. Chu Yunli saw Lin Xueyi who was standing there rubbing the silver and said: "It's getting late. If you want to leave the city, you have to hurry up."
Lin Xueyi saw the person she hated most in her life, and couldn't help scolding: "It's none of your business!"
Of course Chu Yunli knew it was none of her business, she just said it deliberately to make Lin Xueyi troubled.
"Luo Hongyue, it took me eight lifetimes of bad luck to meet you."
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows: "I want to return these words to you intact. If it weren't for your ambition, I would still be living a good life now. Your eldest brother and I have become enemies now, mainly because of you. If you hadn't gone back to your parents' house to cause trouble.
, your eldest brother will not lose his wife and son."
She said these words without deliberately lowering her voice, and He heard them clearly under the eaves.
For something like that just now, it would be better if there was no one around Lin Xueyi. Therefore, He found a place to hide.
When she found out that things were not going to work, Mrs. He was filled with hatred, but she had no choice but to look for another opportunity. Who would have thought that as soon as she came out, she would hear the words of her ex-daughter-in-law.
Thinking along this line, it seems quite right.
Although the previous Lin family was not the richest in the village, it was still better than the others. The He family had two daughters-in-law to take care of, so money was a bit tight, but life was comfortable!
Today's Lin family is worse than when Lin Xueyi didn't recognize her relatives. The key is that she is tired. The eldest son's wife is gone, and although the younger son's wife is still there, she can't be used. Today I went to Fucheng to borrow another three taels of silver. Although I am now earning
I'm back, but interest is a thing, as long as you take the money and go out, you have to post a sum when you come in and want to pay it back.
It's like a wasted trip today. Mr. He's face was not very good. You didn't want to argue with your ex-daughter-in-law in the street, so you grabbed your daughter and said, "Let's go quickly, we still have business to do."
Hurry up and pay back the interest. If you stay overnight, it will be even harder to pay back the interest.
Before leaving, he glared at Chu Yunli fiercely: "Just wait for me!"
Just wait, are you still afraid of me?
Chu Yunli successfully bought the wasteland today, and also interfered with the Lin family's good affairs. They all returned to the village and were in a good mood.
In the evening of that day, the mother and daughter returned to the village.
In the next few days, no one came to her door to cause trouble, and Chu Yunli had already started raising chickens in the land she got.
She also had a few houses built at the foot of the other side of the barren mountain, which was not far from the town. She planned to move there with her two children after the work was done.
Chu Yunli doesn't do anything like raising chickens personally. In business, it will be much easier for the owner to find a few trustworthy people. The weather is cold now, which is not a good time to raise chickens. Wait until spring to buy chickens and raise them.
.
Now the town and village still don’t know who the owner of the chicken is. There are even people in the village who want to learn the art of roasting chicken. They even say that they can give some money. Unfortunately, the owner is too mysterious and no one can see him except the shopkeeper.
Can't catch it.
Everyone speculated that either the recipe came from a shady source and the owner did not dare to show up. Or, the owner behind him should be from the city. He did not live here, so of course he would not see anyone.
Chu Yunli, who was speculated by everyone, was very calm. As long as she gave money, there would be people doing the work during the Chinese New Year. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, her yard in the town had been repaired.
It's just that this kind of house made of mud bricks is a little too humid. She is fine, but the two children can't stand it. It's best to wait for the summer before moving in.
During the Chinese New Year period, there were no less people wandering around Chu Yunli Yanzi, and there were even more people. Chu Yunli was a little annoyed, and secretly made some plans, planning to move to the town this autumn.
Before that, the Lin family was dealt with.
In the past, the Lin family was wealthy, and there were many people who wanted to marry Lin Heliang. But now, the Lin family... let alone matchmakers, there are not many people who come to visit.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, there is a rule in the village that every household steams steamed buns and exchanges them with others after making them, which means that every family will have surplus food this year.
This rule has been passed down for many years, and everyone is willing to steam a pot in order to seek good luck. This year is no exception. Early in the morning, as soon as Chu Yunli's buns were served, people outside were already coming from door to door to deliver them.
Chu Yunli accepted other people's products, and after her own steamed ones were ready, she went out to deliver them as well.
Of course, I deliberately ignored the Lin family.
In the afternoon, Chu Yunli was standing at home having lunch when someone knocked on the door. There was a young man carrying an old man on his back with an anxious look on his face: "Luo Hongyue, come out quickly. You poisoned my mother like this. Do you care?
Don't care? If you don't care, our mother and son will die here."
The New Year has just begun, and it is unlucky to talk about whether you will die or not. Many people in the village will subconsciously avoid it. If you come to the door and say this, you will see that the person coming is not good.
When he heard that someone was poisoned, Chu Yunli thought that he still had to remove himself. If someone really died, it would be troublesome: "I sent so many buns out, how come others are okay?"
The young man's surname was Lin Heman, and he was a cousin of Lin Heliang's family. At this time, he looked angrily: "You dare to say you didn't do it on purpose?"
"At that time, you were disrespectful to my aunt. My grandma couldn't help but say a few words to you. I didn't expect you to be such a cruel person. You are so cruel."
Chu Yunli: "..."
She took out a silver dime and said: "There is a crime in the law called defamation, which is to make nonsense and accuse good people without evidence. Can someone please file a complaint for me! By the way, one more person will go to the town to pick up the doctor.
Come."
Lin Heman was surprised: "Your stuff has poisoned people, and you actually want to report it to the official?"
Chu Yunli's tone was calm: "My things are not poisonous, I know it in my heart. Now that I am being blackmailed, of course I have to ask the prefect to help me distinguish it."
The person on his back was very heavy, and Lin Heman couldn't bear it anymore, so he put the person on the ground and said, "I didn't want to blackmail you!"
Chu Yunli nodded: "Yes! You don't want to blackmail me, you just want me to pay you money. The prefect is fair, and there is no case that he can't find out. When the time comes, he will find you to ask whether it is blackmail.
Your Excellency will definitely find out... By the way, if you don't confess, you will be slapped with a slap in the face. After the beating, if you are really guilty, you will have to go to jail."
