Chapter 1 Chapter 80(1/2)
The blush on Qi Xiaotao's cheeks was gone and turned pale. She looked at the man in front of her with a troubled face: "The maid next to your wife is much better than me. She is sensible and sensible. Her looks are definitely not bad, and she has never been married.
.I...I had that disease before, and I don’t know if it will happen again..."
"My maid won't really like me." Chen Dazhuang rushed in the door anxiously and held Qi Xiaotao's hand: "As long as you don't dislike me for being a wife! Anyway, I will recognize you in this life."
Qi Xiaotao's eyes dodge.
Chen Dazhuang became more and more anxious, stamped his feet and said: "I will go back to the countryside with you."
Hearing this sentence, Qi Xiaotao suddenly raised his head.
Chu Yunli couldn't hide her surprise.
Chen Dazhuang didn't look at anyone, only staring at the woman in front of him: "My yard is not big, and I plan to give my daughter a dowry. As a father, I can't give her nothing. I have saved some money over the years, and I have
Eight taels... With these, we will go to the countryside and open a dried fruit shop again. We don’t need to make much money, just enough to make a living for the two of us."
He looked serious: "You have a house and a shop, but I have inquired and found that these belong to your sister. You are just looking after them for her."
He turned his head and looked at Chu Yunli: "Madam, I'd like to trouble you to find someone to keep an eye on the shop later."
Chu Yunli never knew that Qi Xiaotao wanted to return to the countryside.
She always thought that Qi Xiaotao did not want to stay in the town. After all, she met unkind people there and her family did not love her. All the misfortunes in the previous decades had happened there.
Chu Yunli asked curiously: "Sister, do you want to go back to the countryside?"
Qi Xiaotao took a deep breath: "At first, I wanted to run away and avoid everything that happened before. But... I wasn't the one who was wrong, so why should I be the one who left? I've been out for so long, I've heard about it, the Tian family
Father and son often say bad things about me outside. If I never go back, those people will think I have a guilty conscience."
Chu Yunli frowned: "Don't be influenced by them, it's more important to live your own life."
Qi Xiaotao lowered his head: "I don't like the bustle in the city very much. I don't know anyone living around here. Except for doing business, everyone lives their own lives behind closed doors. It's too indifferent. I...
…Can’t find anyone to talk to.”
This is true.
In the city, expenses are high, and everyone is busy supporting their families, so money is more important. In the countryside, people pay more attention to human relationships, and they can always say hello when they go out.
Qi Xiaotao saw that she was silent and explained: "Sister, my life was very bad in the first half of my life. Those people looked down on me, but I recently discovered that I am not that bad. I want to go back and let those people know me again...
..." She was a little incoherent: "Do you understand what I mean?"
Chu Yunli didn't quite understand, but Qi Xiaotao wanted to go back to town to prove herself, and she wouldn't stop him: "Go back if you want."
Qi Xiaotao was a little happy: "Really?"
Chu Yunli nodded: "I'll get some money later, and you can buy a shop, even if it's just to collect rent..."
"We don't want it." Chen Dazhuang turned around: "Madam, you don't need to worry too much about Xiaotao, and you don't need to embarrass yourself for her. I will take care of her in the future and will never let her be wronged."
Ever since she was a child, no one had ever said such a thing to Qi Xiaotao. The key point was that the person in front of her was very sincere. She originally did not plan to get married for the rest of her life, but Chen Dazhuang made her change her mind.
"Sister, I want to try again."
It is actually a good thing that Qi Xiaotao has not been tortured to death by the Tian family and his son, and can trust a man again.
"Okay, lock the courtyard door when you leave, and send the account book to me at the shop."
Qi Xiaotao was a little surprised: "Sister, won't you stop me?"
Chen Dazhuang has always known what he wants.
Chu Yunli believes that many people in this world are dissatisfied, especially men. After knowing that they may marry a young and beautiful girl, they may be dissatisfied. However, Chen Dazhuang kept his head clear at this critical moment and insisted on asking for marriage.
Qi Xiaotao should be a good person.
"Can you stop it?"
Hearing this, Qi Xiaotao's face turned red.
I went out to see my sister off. When Chu Yunli went back, she leaned on the carriage and took a nap. Dong Yu beside her kept talking but stopped talking.
This girl has been with her for a long time and rarely gets entangled like this. Even if she occasionally gets entangled, she will quickly speak.
This time it was different. Dong Yu had already arrived at the house, but Dong Yu hadn't spoken yet. Chu Yunli opened her eyes and asked with a smile: "What are you thinking about again?"
"Mrs. Zhang will definitely make things difficult for you." Dong Yu was a little worried: "She came to the door earlier just to make you bow your head."
Chu Yunli looked indifferent: "It depends on whether I am willing to be low or not!"
Now Mrs. Zhou values her very much and doesn't like Mrs. Zhang very much. Again, it depends on the owner when it comes to beating a dog. For the sake of her eldest grandson, Mrs. Zhou will definitely protect her.
If that's the case, what is she afraid of?
Shortly after returning home, someone from the main hospital sent a message saying that Mrs. Zhang wanted to see her.
Chu Yunli went out to lie down, washed up first, and then fed the child. Just holding the bowl, the child was eating happily. If it were someone else, such an older child might not be willing to eat properly anymore.
"I don't have time. I will go when I get free later."
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she immediately became angry. She was just an aunt, but she dared to touch Qiao in front of her.
She ran over and said as soon as she entered the door: "I'm here to ask, after you asked your sister, does she want to get married?"
"Marry!" Chu Yunli had finished feeding her meal and signaled the nanny to take the child away. Her eyes fell on Mrs. Zhang: "I won't bother Mrs. Zhang about this marriage. I have just met Brother Chen. He will
Accompany my sister back to the countryside and never come back to the city again."
Mrs. Zhang frowned: "You are embarrassing my mother."
It's just the servant's request, but the master doesn't agree to it. If you give him a little bit of grace, will the servant still dare to pester you?
"So, what do you mean?"
"I will try my best to help you facilitate this matter and give up my mother's idea of getting married." Mrs. Zhang raised her chin slightly: "But you also have to promise me one thing."
Chu Yunli nodded: "For example?"
Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and stated her purpose: "You leave the house!"
Hearing this, Chu Yunli looked surprised: "This..."
Mrs. Zhang finally understood that both Zhou Yilin and her mother-in-law had great trust in the woman in front of her. If they wanted to run the family again and win their husband's love again, they had to drive this woman away.
Chu Yunli wanted to leave, but she never had the chance. She was curious: "What if I don't leave?"
"Then I will ask Chen Dazhuang's daughter to beg him. He will have this relative who loves his daughter very much. If that girl is not willing to let him marry, he will definitely not marry again." Ms. Zhang sneered: "You are the most popular.
If you value your sister, you shouldn't want to make her feel uncomfortable, right?"
"You are wrong. I value my sister, but in the final analysis, our mother and son are the most important." Chu Yunli didn't know what Zhang was thinking: "I won't leave."
"You have obviously not consummated your marriage with your husband, why do you have to stay here?" Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and said: "I will give birth to a legitimate son in the future. Even if Brother Hua stays in the house, he will definitely not get much benefit. If you know what's going on, I will
I promise you that I will never treat him badly."
The implication is that Brother Hua will be given enough money.
Chu Yunli had a complicated mood and said, "Is it worth it?"
Mrs. Zhang did not answer this: "Don't toast me and eat the fine wine. If you leave obediently, I will not embarrass you mother and son again in the future. Otherwise, if I am determined to go against you, I am determined to hurt Brother Hua."
, I’m afraid you won’t be able to stop me. When the time comes, be careful if you don’t fight for wealth or wealth, you may end up risking your own life.”
Chu Yunli seemed to have been threatened by her, and nodded: "It's okay to let me go, I want to take Brother Hua with me. Just treat him as if he separated and left home early."
As soon as such words came out, Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment. However, this was a good thing for her. She walked around the room twice: "If you want to separate the family now, it will definitely not work. My husband is still so young, how many more will he have in the future?"
The children don’t even know. So, I’ll pay for it!”
Chu Yunli really didn't expect that in the eyes of Mrs. Zhang, she was so important that she would rather pay her dowry than send her away.
Money is a trivial matter. Chu Yunli can definitely earn it if he can really leave. She reminded: "Young master will not let me go."
"Let's try to find a way." Mrs. Zhang looked at her solemnly: "You two, mother and son, are sick! If there is a serious illness, such as smallpox, which is difficult to cure, they will definitely move you mother and son out when the time comes."
Chu Yunli didn't want to do it. If the illness was real, she could save her life, but what if the child was so weak and had an accident?
"No, you can let me go, but it can't be because of illness."
Zhang: "..."
The two broke up on bad terms.
However, Mrs. Zhang also knows that Qi Xiaomei does not have to stay here. As long as she is given enough money, she will be happy to leave. This is a good thing.
She was afraid that Qi Xiaomei wouldn't be able to part with what she had on hand and would insist on staying here to go against her... She finally understood that as long as this person stayed in the house for a day, neither her mother-in-law nor the man would take her seriously.
A little later, Zhou Yilin came back.
Recently, the Zhou family is still within the period of mourning, but business people don't have so many rules. If they really don't go out or interact with others, when the period of mourning is over, the business will be over.
Zhou Yilin took over at Chuchu, and the people below him, intentionally or unintentionally, would cause some trouble for him. When he came back, he was exhausted. But when he entered the room and saw the smiling face of the child, he felt that 80% of his fatigue had dissipated.
Chu Yunli saw him coming in and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Zhou Yilin shook his head.
Chu Yunli glanced at Dongyu.
In the entire Zhou Mansion, apart from the mother and son, the person the kitchen dared not neglect the most was Chu Yunli.
