Liu's mother was born in this village. The farthest she went was to marry a cousin to the next town. She had never been to the county seat, let alone the next county. After she spoke, she thought of traveling a long distance, and her heart was filled with doubts.

A little fear arose. I caught a glimpse of Yao Chunfang next to me and immediately had an idea, "You should come with me. These father and son are liars. They have used our money. Since they can't pay back, they have to pay the price."

.”

Chu Yunli didn't answer the question and looked at Zhou Pei, "They only stole clothes."

Zhou Pei spent a lot of trouble to find the culprit. Thinking of his father's suffering and the worries he had felt in the past few days, he became very angry. Hearing this, he immediately complained, "Not only did he also steal more than twenty taels from me,

Silver is all my family's savings. If it weren't for my uncle, my father wouldn't even be able to pay for the medicine." At this point, he became really angry, stepped forward and kicked Wu's father hard, and asked, "Where is my silver?"

"

Liu's mother also wanted to ask this question. It was more than twenty taels. If she used it to buy things, she could buy a lot. But when the father and son came back, she saw nothing.

Wu Xiangxiang became more and more disappointed. Her father had so much money and didn't even leave her a single copper, which showed that he really didn't take her seriously.

Wu's father didn't want to say anything, so he hesitated for a long time and couldn't understand. The Liu brothers were furious, and they stepped forward and kicked him hard. Wu's father held his head and begged for mercy, stumbling and saying, "I lost the bet."

"Everyone" is also a talent.

I really can't help but go and gamble. I can lose only half. The remaining money can be taken home, whether it is used to build a house or marry a daughter-in-law.

However, everyone thought again that if the father and son knew how to scheme, they would not be in this situation.

Zhou Pei tied up the father and son and put them on the carriage, and also brought along the Liu family's mother and son who were willing to complain.

In addition to Liu's mother, the people who went were Liu Boss and Liu San. Chu Yunli also got on. Just when the carriage was about to set off, Wu Xiangxiang rushed over and insisted on following.

Liu's mother doesn't have much dislike for Wu Xiangxiang. This girl is lazy, but she heard that she listened to advice and did not struggle to resist when she was taught a lesson. But this mother's family is so shameful. If possible, she still hopes to get back the original betrothal gift.

Get another daughter-in-law.

Even if you don’t change, you should ask an adult to warn Wu Xiangxiang not to act like a monster in the future and live her life honestly.

It was quite a long journey to Zhou County. After five days on the road, a group of people finally arrived outside the city gate covered in dust. Without any delay, they took the people directly to the Yamen.

It has been several months since Zhou Pei filed the complaint. It was not that your Excellency ignored the matter, but another murder case occurred in the county, which also involved the prefect. The superiors have been urging you, so your Excellency has put the matter on hold for the time being.

Now that the murderers have been arrested, your Excellency will naturally not be polite and will immediately put them in jail and plan to take time for interrogation.

After getting along with each other for the past few days, Zhou Pei knew that the Liu family were not good friends and had no intention of inviting them home. The group of people parted ways outside the yamen. Chu Yunli walked at the end, and he said an invitation: "Auntie, if you don't have a place to go,

, you can go to my house to stay temporarily."

Chu Yunli smiled and thanked her. She was not short of money. There were many inconveniences in living in other people's homes. Moreover, there were differences between men and women. It was really inappropriate for the Zhou family to only have father and son. Besides, she did not intend to come here in vain.

I plan to look for business opportunities.

With money on hand, Chu Yunli didn't want to wrong herself, so she ran to the city and found a gorgeous inn to stay at.

It was just that small. When I went upstairs, I met Wu Xiangxiang.

It turns out that the Liu family inquired about the inn and knew that they couldn't afford to stay in even a remote inn in the outer city. You know, it would take days to get there at the Yamen, and it might take months if it was slow. Even if they gritted their teeth and paid a few

What should I do about the Kaaba fee and the cost of going back?

The family was smart, and after discussing it, they decided to find a job. The brothers were young and strong, and even if they were a little injured, it would not hinder them from working. The most important thing was that the price they asked was very low.

Liu's mother was old and quick at work, so she was assigned to boil water in the kitchen. Wu Xiangxiang was good-looking and slender, so she put on the clothes of a female waiter and asked her to learn how to take care of guests.

Chu Yunli was the first guest she received.

When the two met, they were both stunned. Chu Yunli reacted first, pretended not to see her, and followed the guy to the top floor.

Vanilla was shocked at first, and when she saw that her grandma had turned around, she immediately swallowed back the exclamation on her lips. She was a newcomer, and if the guests showed displeasure towards her, they might be kicked out immediately. Climb to the top floor

, seeing the comfortable room and Yao Chunfang raising her hand and giving some copper coins to the waiter to send hot water for washing, she felt even more uncomfortable. Although she had just arrived today, she also inquired about the room rate of the inn.

How much money does it cost to live there for one day? The Chai family is really rich.

"Don't be in a daze, you will bring the water later." The waiter whispered, "It is really tiring to carry hot water upstairs, but if you don't want to do it, there are many people who are willing. From now on, for all female guests, you will be the one to bring the hot water.

." After a pause, he then said, "I am taking care of you."

Wu Xiangxiang bowed her head and thanked her again.

The waiter said that if she was asked to escort female customers, that is, male customers, she would not be of much use. She was good-looking and young, so it was easy for customers to take advantage of her. They really took care of her.

After running around for several days, Chu Yunli was exhausted. She felt that she still had too little money on hand, so she planned to go out and sell two prescriptions. As soon as she took off her shoes, Wu Xiangxiang came in with a bucket of hot water.

People who once lived under the same roof now live in the same room, and the atmosphere is almost stagnant. Wu Xiangxiang felt her face burning. She really couldn't understand that she was obviously the daughter-in-law of the Chai family, and she should be served together with her grandma.

, how did you end up in a situation where you were being shouted around?

Chu Yunli didn't care, and said, "Ask the kitchen to bring me some hot dishes, two dishes, one soup, and a bowl of rice. The soup should be meat-free clear soup."

Wu Xiangxiang agreed, feeling increasingly uncomfortable in her heart. The food in this inn was not cheap, and Yao Chunfang never asked about the price from beginning to end, which showed that there was really no shortage of money. When she walked out of the room, she blinked and couldn't help but fall.

Tears came.

During this day, she ran many times upstairs to deliver water. Even though she often worked at home, she had never climbed so many stairs before. When she got off work in the evening, her legs were as soft as noodles. Every step she took

They all felt extremely sore.

At night, Liu's mother was lying next to her.

Liu's mother had just arrived in the county town and saw many new people and things. She couldn't help but talk about it, commented on the people in the kitchen, and envied the chef's salary. What came to mind, she curiously asked, "

The woman who ordered three kinds of meat today, who lives alone, looks very rich in what kind of clothes she is wearing. Is she accompanied by a maid?"

Wu Xiangxiang ""

Most people rarely stay in inns alone. The only person who ordered three meat dishes was Yao Chunfang.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Liu's mother was a little annoyed, "Xianghua, you are not going to pay attention to me and come back to the court. I have to divorce you."

Wu Xiangxiang was really afraid of leaving the Liu family before she came to the county town, but after arriving here and working for a long time, she felt that instead of suffering and being tired in the Liu family, she might as well come to work. Even if she was beaten and scolded, at least she would have something to do.

She could get paid. Also, she was in a strange place, and no one knew her past. She could have just said that she was a widow or had met someone unkind, and then found a suitable person and remarried. These thoughts only passed through her mind for a moment.

, seeing her mother-in-law beside her becoming more and more impatient, she didn't want to really offend anyone. Before going to court, she still had to get along with the Liu family. She just said, "That person is Yao Chunfang."

Mother Liu was stunned and suddenly turned over and sat up, "You didn't lie to me."

Wu Xiangxiang turned over, "I carried the hot water for her, and I also ordered the dishes for her on my own initiative."

She deliberately ordered something more expensive just to embarrass Yao Chunfang. But she paid for the meal without blinking an eye, without even a single surprise. She just felt depressed.

Mother Liu frowned, "It's so profitable to grow vegetables in a greenhouse."

Wu Xiangxiang had been running around for a few days and was tired for a long time. At this time, her eyelids were trembling. "Who knows?" She always felt that the money in the village was not so easy to make. Yao Chunfang was so lavish, maybe she made a windfall.

She quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Liu's mother became curious and took some time the next day to run to the front to see Chu Yunli who was coming downstairs to have breakfast.

When she saw the person sitting there, she simply didn't dare to recognize him.

Some people left in a hurry when they came and didn't pack much. The same goes for Chu Yunli. She got up early today and ran to buy a new set of clothes.

Since you have spent money, you must buy what you like. The material of this dress is good, the pattern is exquisite, and there is nothing wrong with it except that it is expensive. Chu Yunli has a keen sense and notices that someone behind him is looking at him with an indifferent look.

Cover up. She immediately turned around and met Liu's mother's eyes.

Mother Liu was a little embarrassed when she was caught peeping, "You are living a pretty good life. We are from the same village. Our family is a buddy and you are a guest."

"My money is fair and square, you are so weird." Chu Yunli looked her up and down. "If you talk like this again, I will talk to the shopkeeper later."

Mother Liu was stunned, apologized in a hurry and ran away, not daring to tease her again.

During the few days she lived here, Chu Yunli went to the medical clinic and sold two "recipes" and got more than a hundred taels of silver. In the following days, she wandered around and bought a lot of things every day. Yu Xiaoya

Her menstruation was late two days ago, and Chu Yunli had already noticed that she was pregnant, so she came here and bought some smooth materials to take back to the baby.

Looking at Chu Yunli's large and small bags, not to mention Liu's mother's heart bursting with jealousy. The most complicated person was Wu Xiangxiang.

She obviously owned these things, but now they have nothing to do with her.

In the blink of an eye, several people had been in Zhou County for half a month. After Chu Yunli went to the street and caught a thief, he personally took her to the Yamen. When the master asked her about her place of origin and name when recording, the master finally remembered the case of the Zhou family.

.

It is true that the father and son stole, injured and escaped. When they ran out in a panic, they met several pedestrians. When Zhou Pei did not dare to leave his father and go away to find the thief, he had already taken the time to find all the pedestrians.

.

The clothes stolen by the Wu father and son were later taken away by the Liu brothers, and Zhou Pei thoughtfully asked for them back. The witnesses and physical evidence were all there, and the adults also brought in people from the gambling house where the father and son lost money to testify.

The matter is indefensible.

Although Zhou's father saved his life, he also suffered from the root cause of the disease, which was very dangerous at the time. If Zhou Pei came back a little later, he might not be able to save him.

The father and son hurt someone first, ignored the victim's life behind, and stole the owner's money. It was really bad. In addition, Chu Yunli accused him of marrying another daughter without making it clear to him, and before he returned the dowry, the master sentenced the father and son to jail.

Thirty years.

Anyway, father and son will never think of it again in this life.

Wu Xiangxiang knelt down in the hall, feeling cold all over her body.

If Liu's mother had originally thought about going to court to ask an adult to testify, divorce her daughter-in-law and marry another one, she had changed her mind at this moment.

Only two of the four sons have married so far. If they divorce Hua Hua again, they will have to marry three wives. Besides, the Wu family father and son can't afford a single son, so they don't want any betrothal gifts. The most important thing is,
To be continued...
