Chapter 346 Just being a concubine, not a cow or a horse
He said it quite righteously, and Shi Chun only felt funny when he heard it, "Is being a concubine something very honorable? What's the difference between doing this and bullying Madam Du?"
"Bullying?" Yu Abao said with a sneer on his face, "For a mere widow, being a concubine is already an honor for her. Why don't you ask the young masters of your Chu family? I'm afraid she is not qualified to be the wench girl!"
Seeing that he was so arrogant that he compared his own brothers with the young master of the Chu family, Shi Chunfen's eyes darkened and he said indifferently: "The Chu family is the Chu family, and you are you. Your eldest brother chose her by himself, so she will never get her turn.
Come and ask."
"I don't need to ask at all." Yu Abao said confidently: "It won't be long before he gives up Mrs. Du on his own. When we force him to let Mrs. Du be his official wife, he won't even agree."
"Impossible." Shi Chunfen didn't believe it at all, "Your eldest brother is an honest man. He will not do anything to disgrace Madam Du."
"Then just watch." Yu Abao sneered: "Don't test human nature. No matter how honest my elder brother is, he is just an ordinary person."
——
Until the banquet was over and on the way back to Chu's house, Shi Chunquin was still thinking about what Yu A'bao said. Yu A'hu and Du Yumei had been together for so long, and they were already more affectionate than most couples who got married blindly. Could he really do it?
Would you give up your beloved for the sake of outsiders' eyes?
Seeing her headache, Li Yan took the initiative and asked, "Is grandma still thinking about what the young master said?"
Shi Chunfen nodded slightly and looked at her, "Do you think my eldest cousin can make it to the end with Madam Du?"
Li Yan hesitated for a moment and said frankly: "To be honest, I think what the young master Biao said is right. Although the Yu family is not as wealthy as the Chu family, the two young masters are now different from what they used to be. A man in this world only needs his hands and feet."
It is extremely easy to get a good wife if you are healthy. No matter how capable Mrs. Du is, she has no ability to shut up the mouths of everyone who knows her details. She can pretend not to hear those voices, but men may not be able to bear it.
Already."
"Is that so?" Shi Chunfen's brows furrowed even more.
She doesn't seem to understand men very well.
Seeing her melancholy expression, Li Yan comforted her: "Grandma, don't think so much. In the end, it's their own business. No matter what young master Biao chooses in the end, he is a man and has nothing to lose. Why should you do anything for Mrs. Du?"
Where is the sadness?"
"That's true." Shi Chunquin sighed.
Probably because I have been with Du Yumei for a long time and think she is a pretty good person, so I feel a little melancholy.
——
In the next few days, she was still immersed in the business world, quickly forgetting about Yu Ahu and Du Yumei. It was not until Shi Cui suddenly sent someone to ask her to go to Yu's house that she learned about Yu Ahu's last
After listening to Yu Abao's advice, he decided to change his wife into a concubine. When he heard that Du Yumei had a big quarrel with him, he ran out directly, and their marriage ended in a stalemate.
"How could this happen?" Shi Chunquin looked at Shi Cui with a haggard face and couldn't help but ask.
Shi Cui sighed, raised her hand and poked Yu Abao's head, and said angrily: "He's not just such a bastard. He deliberately found someone to gossip in front of his elder brother. After his elder brother heard it a few times, he changed his mind in the blink of an eye."
Yu Abao was poked twice. Not only was he not angry, he also said with a smile: "Did I do something wrong? I just helped the eldest brother to see his mind clearly in advance. If he really loves Madam Du more than Jin Jian, how can he do it?"
Are you going to get angry because of a few idle words?"
Shi Cui gave him an angry look, "Having said that, you can't make trouble at this time. Now that Mrs. Du has run away, where do you want your elder brother to find a wife to get married to?"
She didn't know if it was an illusion of the spring equinox, but she felt that her aunt was actually more happy than sorry.
Yu Abao looked indifferent, "With my current conditions, are you still worried that you won't be able to get a wife? I'll find a matchmaker in the city to meet each other later, and I'll make sure there's an endless stream of girls signing up."
Shi Chunfen really couldn't listen any more and couldn't help but interrupt, "What about Madam Du? Are you not looking for her anymore?"
Shi Cui came back to her senses and said quickly: "Look, why don't you look for her? Ahu has already gone to coax her. If she is willing to marry her as a concubine, our Yu family will not treat her badly."
Shi Chunfen shook her head and said, "If she changes from wife to concubine, I'm afraid she won't agree if she's a bit angry."
"There is no way." Yu Abao said confidently: "As long as we don't get married for one day, my eldest brother has the right to regret it. She doesn't want to think that she is just a widow. Without our Yu family, can she work in the tea house? Her son can
Should she go to such a good private school? As long as she knows how to be grateful, she shouldn't use her status as a widow to affect her eldest brother's future. She is just a concubine, and she is not asked to be a cow or a horse, so what is there to be dissatisfied about? "
The theory is such a theory, but no matter how I hear it, it doesn't feel right.
Even an honest man like Yu Ahu can give up Mrs. Du for the so-called reputation, so how sincere will other men in this world be?
In comparison, women spend their entire lives serving men, which is too unfair.
Shi Cui couldn't listen anymore and interrupted: "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense here. In my opinion, you should go help your elder brother and see if you can persuade Madam Du to come back. Your elder brother
I've always been dull and don't know how to talk. It should be better if you can help me."
Just as Yu Abao was about to agree, Shi Chunfen suddenly said: "I'd better go."
She glanced at Yu Abao and said angrily: "I'm afraid that if my second cousin goes and talks unabashedly, Madam Du will be even more angry."
This is true. Yu Abao has just come back and has not had time to get along with Du Yumei. He has no good impression of her at all, so he has no intention of saying anything nice to coax her.
Hearing what Shi Chunfen said, he nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, it's better for you to go. You are both women, so it is easier to talk."
Only then did Shi Cui let him go, turned to look at Shi Chunquin, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Chun Equinox, I'm troubling you again this time."
"Where are you talking?" Shi Chunfen smiled, "My eldest cousin is also a relative of mine, so I should contribute to his marriage."
It is not difficult to find Madam Du. Ever since she followed Yu Ahu, she has been running back and forth between the tea house and her own home. She also occasionally goes to Yu's house and sends gifts to coax his parents from time to time.
It is indeed rare in the world for a prospective daughter-in-law to do what she does, and even Yu Dayong cannot find any fault with her.
At the Spring Equinox, I arrived at the door of Du Yumei's house in a carriage. Before I got out of the car, I saw Yu Ahu sitting under the big tree in front of her house, with frustration written all over his face.
Shi Chunfen quickly got out of the car, walked up to him, and asked: "Cousin, what are you doing sitting here?"
