The first half of Chen Changfu's life was really not a good one.
First he lost his father, then he married a wife and had a son. After a few days of good life, his mother passed away again. Just when he had regained his composure, his seven-year-old son drowned to death. Then his wife couldn't bear the blow and became depressed.
After a serious illness, he disappeared again.
I believe that if you want to find someone as unlucky as him in this world, you won't be able to find many.
Later, he stayed with his deceased wife for more than a year, and someone brought Li Nianqiu to him.
At first, Chen Changfu just wanted someone who could take care of him, and the two of them could live together. Seeing that Li Nianqiu was good-looking, hard-working, and as miserable as him, there was no objection.
Both of them were married for the second time, and the marriage was simple. Chen Changfu thought that he would spend the rest of his life with her, but he did not expect that such a good thing would happen to him just a few days after getting married.
From the day he got the money, he had a vague feeling that Li Nianqiu should be the one who favored him.
Therefore, even if he made a fortune and could divorce his wife and marry a young woman to have children for him, he still held back. He thought that if he could still make a fortune in two years, he would continue to live like this. If not,
If you divorce her, it won't be too late for her to marry someone else.
These were just his inner thoughts. However, the house had just been renovated and his fourth uncle came to him for a drink. In other words, he wanted to adopt his eldest grandson Chen Chuanyuan, who had been extremely smart since he was a child and a Taoist priest had approved Wen Quxing's reincarnation.
At that time, Chen Changfu drank a few glasses of wine and felt a little dizzy. He just felt that good things were coming again. The father of the new top scholar...who wouldn't want to be the father of the new top scorer?
So, he took Chen Chuanyuan back home. But he never expected that Li Nianqiu would not agree!
Seeing that she was leaving, Chen Changfu knew that she had nowhere to go, so he was not in a hurry. But he did not expect that she really wanted to leave.
Originally, after the mother and son left in the morning, Chen Changfu was still thinking that maybe she would really force him and ask him to pick her up after two days.
However, she bought a new cart and brought a large cart of things back, looking like she was settling down. It didn't look like she was coming back. Besides, when she left today, so many people saw her off.
If she didn't want to leave, why was she embarrassed?
In other words, so many people knew that she left, and she would be laughed at if she came back. Maybe she never thought about coming back when she left!
The most important thing is that she only left in the morning. She has bought so many things now, where did the money come from? Has this woman Li Nianqiu really changed her fortune?
Chu Yunli didn't know that Chen Changfu had thought so much in private, so he walked quickly and returned to the village in exactly an hour and a half.
The whole yard was shining goldenly in the sun, and no one would come here to bask in such sunshine. There was no one in the yard, Liu Laosan was taking a nap under the eaves, and when the doors of each house were opened, one could vaguely see people working inside.
Chu Yunli pushed open the courtyard door and pulled the cart in.
Everyone in the yard saw what she had pulled back, and those who were not asleep stood up and stood under the eaves. Mrs. Xiao Ye even walked to the cart and turned around: "Second sister-in-law, you are crazy! Is it possible that Chen Changfu
Did you also give some money to you?"
Chu Yunli ignored her and started to untie the rope on the trolley. Xiaoye looked around carefully and pulled it without any courtesy: "This is fine cloth..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed a silver light flashing from the corner of his eyes.
Xiaoye subconsciously withdrew her hand, but she still didn't have time. She only felt a coldness and pain on the back of her hand, and when she looked at it again, there were bright red blood drops. She covered the wound and glared at Chu Yunli who was holding a kitchen knife: "Are you crazy?
Got it!"
Chu Yunli sneered: "No one should touch my things without consulting me. As for you... you don't need to discuss it with me. I won't let you touch it even if you break the law."
Liu Laosan also woke up due to such a big movement. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the back of his wife's hand was bright red, and blood was dripping from her fingertips... This hand was for work. He suddenly became anxious and ran a few steps
He walked to the cart and shouted angrily: "Second sister-in-law, how can you use the knife?"
Chu Yunli asked back: "She wanted to steal my things, but I killed the thief. Is it wrong?"
Originally, the gestures of touching something and pulling something were completely different. Just now she saw that Xiaoye clearly wanted to pull the piece of cloth out.
If she really gets it, and she can find any excuse, such as the second aunt loves the child, she won't be able to get the cloth back!
Knowing she was that kind of person, Chu Yunli would not let her touch her!
Liu Laosan was displeased: "How could she steal in broad daylight with so many people in the yard? Besides, she's not that kind of person!"
"Then what was she touching?" Chu Yunli said seriously: "She stretched out her hand as soon as I untied the rope. I really thought she was a thief. Since it was a misunderstanding, it's okay."
Liu Laosan: "..." If your hand is chopped like this, is it okay?
The newly bought knife from the blacksmith shop hadn't been sharpened yet, so it wasn't fast at all. At most, it would just break the skin. Chu Yunli was very measured in his actions. He taught others a lesson, but he couldn't let others hold him accountable.
Do they have the nerve to pursue such an injury? Even if they have the nerve, can't they still ask her to compensate for such a small injury?
Xiao Ye looked at the back of his hand, which soon stopped bleeding, and was speechless for a long time. It seemed that the two of them could only suffer the loss of being mute.
Liu Laosan felt aggrieved and couldn't help but said angrily: "Don't touch the second sister-in-law's things from now on, or she will chop you again!"
Xiao Ye was also aggrieved: "How did I know that her things can't be touched? Whose things are not so valuable? Can they be damaged by touching them?"
There are accusations inside and outside the words.
Chu Yunli asked back: "You know it's mine, but you don't know what the relationship between us is? In the morning you said I was a thief, and now I say you are, it's just tit for tat, you can't stand it?"
Xiaoye covered his hands and snorted coldly: "Who knows where all these things come from? Be careful of being put in jail!"
Chu Yunli had never been afraid of quarreling with others, so she refused to give in and said, "I won't bother you."
The couple in the fourth room were watching leisurely under the eaves again. At this time, Brother Liu came out and helped unpack the tables and chairs on the pallet truck and then moved them into the house.
He all helped, and Fang also came over to help carry food and materials.
The brand new things looked particularly pleasant. When Mrs. Fang put down the ingredients, she touched them curiously. When she turned around, she saw her sister-in-law coming in with pots and bowls. Thinking of her sister-in-law's efforts in protecting the food, she felt a little embarrassed and forced a smile.
Said: "The fine cloth feels different to the touch."
Chu Yunli smiled: "If you like it, I'll cut some for you."
"No!" Ms. Fang refused flatly: "I just want to touch it. When the food comes in this year, if the price is good, I will get some and make clothes for the two children."
Chu Yunli didn't have to give it to others. There is not much contact between the two families now. If Li Nianqiu was known to be poor, these things would come too fast. Just like what Xiaoye said just now, normal people would doubt the coming of these things.
at.
To put it bluntly, Chu Yunli was willing to give it away, but Fang didn’t dare to accept it.
After moving the things, Brother Liu left immediately. Before leaving, Mrs. Fang hesitated to speak while looking at the things in the room.
Chu Yunli took out a piece of brown sugar and handed it over: "Sister-in-law, take it to sweeten the child's mouth."
Fang was a little surprised: "Do you still have money to buy candy?"
Candy is a rare item in this village. Let's put it this way, no one would buy it unless it is necessary for a happy event like marriage.
As soon as Fang finished speaking, she realized that she had made a mistake. Her words and tone just now seemed to imply that her sister-in-law had no money to buy candy.
Chu Yunli has always been kind to people who have good intentions toward him, and is not angry. He said: "I won't do bad things, and Zian is still pointing at me."
Mrs. Fang breathed a sigh of relief and handed the candy back: "This is too expensive, I can't accept it."
Chu Yunli pushed back: "Thank you right then and there." Seeing that Mrs. Fang wanted to say more, she pointed to the door: "The child wants to eat, why are you so polite?"
Seeing the two children under the eaves who were looking at the candy without blinking, Fang's hand softened as she pushed them back. She pursed her lips and said, "Second brother and sister, if you need any help in the future, just tell me."
After seeing the people off, Chu Yunli put away the things he bought and started to light a fire to make lunch.
Most people in the village skip lunch, especially since the autumn harvest hasn't started recently. Most people don't work at noon, so they simply skip a meal.
But Chu Yunli can't do it. Both mother and son are weak, so they can't go hungry anymore.
She bought dozens of kilograms of grain, enough for the mother and son to eat for more than a month. Liu Zian kept jumping to help. When he saw his mother taking out the grain from the bag, he asked nervously: "Mom, where did you get the money?"
Chu Yunli turned around and smiled: "This is a gift from God."
Liu Zian: "...I'm not a child!"
Chu Yunli laughed: "It's really a gift from God. When did I ever lie to you?"
As for the source of her money, the sisters-in-law of the Liu family were either too embarrassed to ask, or they were too self-conscious to ask, or Chu Yunli didn't answer when asked. But people outside were not so polite.
Is it a secret that Chu Yunli came back dragging the cart? She was still making lunch here, and a few neighbors arrived. They all praised the things she bought. There was that direct woman who opened her mouth and asked: "So
A lot of things are not cheap, right? Did Chen Changfu give you money?"
Chu Yunli shook his head: "He didn't give me a betrothal gift, and I didn't have a dowry. When I came out, he was not willing. How could he give me money?"
Someone immediately asked: "Then where did you get these things?"
Chu Yunli blinked: "It was a gift from God." She began to tell a story: "By the way, last night I dreamed of an old man with a white beard. He said that I was too miserable in the first half of my life, so he came to save me and taught me how to make sugar.
I thought it was a dream, but unexpectedly today I walked outside Zhang’s courtyard in the town and went in to give it a try. Then Mr. Zhang waited for me and bought the method..."
So far, only a few people know how to make sugar. No one has yet discovered a way to make sugar translucent with human flesh.
Now someone took it out and said it was taught by gods. Everyone thought it was absurd, but also quite reasonable.
If she wasn't a god, where did Li Nianqiu, a country woman who didn't even eat a few pieces of candy, get this method?
Mr. Zhang is not an idiot. If it is not really effective, how can he give money?
As the women left with satisfaction after listening to the story, word spread that Li Nianqiu had been rescued by the gods. This matter was so bizarre that many people spread the news. In just half a day, it spread to Chenjiacun and Chen Changfuer.
middle.
He immediately regretted it until his intestines turned green.
Sure enough, Li Nianqiu changed his life! If he doesn't let her leave this morning, all the money will be his!
