Mrs. Yuan was not a fool. She could see that the eldest sister was really hungry, so she still wanted to put the bowl into her hand.
However, Yuan Hong'er kept a straight face and kept avoiding her, saying, "I really have something to do with you. If you do this again, I will go out and tell you."
Yuanshi had no choice but to nod in the end.
However, when he saw the duck eggs in her hand, he thought they were gifts from her, so he naturally reached out to pick them up, but Yuan Hong'er dodged them.
"This duck egg is not for you, I'm here just for this."
He felt a little embarrassed to say it, but after hesitating for a while, he still said: "Qing'er, eldest sister, I'm sorry for you..."
"Sister, you're celebrating the Chinese New Year, don't just say these unlucky words. If you have anything to say, just say it. I will definitely help if I can..."
"No, no, I'm not here to ask for your help this time." She sniffed and continued, "Didn't Xiaoyu go to our parents' house with us this morning? The damn guy in my family thinks Xiaoyu is good-looking and has a lot of skills.
When I got home, I told my family that I could propose Xiaoyu to the eldest grandson as my wife. In those shameless moments at home, I suddenly had the idea of Xiaoyu, and I couldn’t wait to force me to come to my house to say goodbye..."
Her voice trembled a little when she said it, especially when facing her sister's dumbfounded look, she really felt ashamed.
Yuan finally understood what she meant by mentioning a few duck eggs. In other words, these duck eggs were gifts from the Li family for marriage. If she had just taken them, it would have meant that the Zhao family was willing to arrange this marriage with the Li family.
.
"Sister, what's all this! Brother-in-law just met Xiaoyu once, how can he think so much? Besides, even if we want to get married, we have to find a good day to come over. How can the Li family force you to do it so late at night?
Are you running this way?"
Yuan's face was full of distress. She knew that her eldest sister had not lived a very good life these years, but she never thought that the Li family would go so far in bullying others. It was not enough to harm her eldest sister, but also to harm her little niece. How dare you?
Yuan Hong'er couldn't care less about feeling sorry for herself now, and explained to her sister as quickly as possible: "They just want to force me to come over and marry the Zhao family, and they want to finalize the matter as soon as possible, and then they told Xiaoyu in the past few days.
I know that Xiaoyu is capable and will never fall in love with a family like the Li family. On the surface, I promised my mother-in-law to come over to propose marriage. In fact, I just came to tell you that you should be prepared so that you don’t get caught by my mother-in-law’s family.
People were deceived."
"I will take these duck eggs back intact and tell you that you don't agree with the marriage, and I won't take any gifts. If they are wise, they can just forget about it. But if they still want to pester them, I, I
There's nothing I can do to stop it... Qing'er, I'm really sorry for you, and I'm also sorry for Xiaoyu!"
She wanted to shed tears as she spoke, but today was the second day of the Lunar New Year, and she was in someone else's house. It was not good to cry in someone else's house, so she held back her tears.
"Sister, don't say such things. I know you can't take charge in that family. If you don't come here, they won't know how to bully you. Now that you're here, just stay for a meal. It's getting dark soon.
, it’s not safe for you to go back by yourself, I’ll ask Dagui to take you back later.”
"No, no need..."
Yuan Hong'er was about to give a few more instructions when Zhao Huanyu came in.
She heard Tieshan calling her aunt in her room, thinking that the visitor was a guest, so she went out to meet her. Unexpectedly, she heard words outside the kitchen that made her jaw drop.
That Li Dong only met her once, and he wanted her to be his nephew's wife? Are all uncles so considerate of their nephews?
And from what Yuan Hong'er meant, the Li family wanted to take her ten duck eggs and marry her home?
God, what did the devil say she heard?!
"Xiao, Xiaoyu..."
Seeing Zhao Huanyu come in, the two sisters became a little stuttered. Yuan Hong'er felt guilty, and Yuanshi felt uncomfortable. After all, her niece went to help her mother see a doctor, so it was fine that she didn't get any benefits. Instead, she made herself a mess.
Anyone would be unhappy if this happened.
"Auntie, since you are here, please stay and eat. After dinner, let my uncle drive you back."
She smiled politely and wanted to turn around and leave because she really didn't want to discuss the Li family's affairs, but after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't help but said: "Auntie, to tell you the truth, I am almost engaged.
, it will be decided after the New Year, you can go back and tell the Li family so that they can give up their intention."
Yuan Hong'er nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll tell you that when I get back."
Zhao Huanyu has someone to be engaged to, so she is naturally happy. As long as it can stop the Li family's worries, she can say anything.
Feeling that Zhao Huanyu's eyes were looking at the few duck eggs in the basket, Yuan Hong'er felt embarrassed again, hid the basket behind her, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I came to find you actually.
There is one more thing I would like to ask your opinion on."
"Auntie, just tell me, I know everything you can say."
Regarding Yuan Hong'er, Zhao Huanyu felt that she was both sad and pitiful. Moreover, she was also Yuan's biological sister. So far, she had not done anything to make her too angry. Moreover, she was forced by the Li family to come to the house and ask for a kiss.
She didn't really mention the matter to the Zhao family, but went to her sister to talk about it quietly.
Based on this, Zhao Huanyu can be sure that her heart is still good and not as bad as the Li family.
"It's like this. I heard your uncle talk about using fertile land to grow medicinal materials this morning. My husband's family doesn't agree with it, but I want to do it with you. It's just that I don't have any land. I want to open a piece of wasteland in the mountains to plant it. I don't know if it's possible.
OK?"
She looked at Zhao Huanyu expectantly, looking expectant and nervous, as if the fact that Zhao Huanyu led them to plant medicinal materials was the starting point for changing her destiny.
"It's possible, but the wasteland that is opened up is not as good as fertile land after all, so the quality of the medicinal materials grown in fertile land should not be as good as that in fertile land, and the selling price will not be as good as that grown in fertile land."
Zhao Huanyu didn't expect that she actually came to ask about the cultivation of medicinal materials. A person's rise must first start with making money. It seems that Yuan Hong'er can still be saved.
Yuan Hong'er immediately became happy, rubbed her hands excitedly and said, "It's good if you can plant, it's good if you can plant! I don't ask for how much money I can make now, as long as I can make money, so that my two daughters don't have to live like this."
It’s painful.”
After saying that, she bit her lower lip and tried her best to hold back her tears. She cried too many times today, some were happy and some were sad, but no matter whether she was happy or sad, when she heard Zhao Huanyu's affirmative answer, she cried
I feel like nothing matters anymore.
As long as she can work hard to make money, she can gradually establish a foothold in her husband's family, and the lives of her two daughters will not be so difficult.
