When Shi Chunfen brought Li Yan to her house, Aunt Liu's two daughters happened to come back from get out of class in the library and bumped into her.
The eldest sister Chu Qian was more sensible and generous, and took the initiative to greet her, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Shi Chunquin nodded to her with a smile, and his eyes fell on the second sister Chu Ying. This little girl didn't seem to like her very much, and rolled her eyes at her from a distance.
Chu Ying felt her gaze and reluctantly stepped forward and bowed to her, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Shi Chunfen also smiled and looked towards the attic, "Is your mother here today?"
Chu Qian nodded quickly, "Yes." She originally wanted to find out why Shi Chunfen came to see her mother, but then she thought that it was disrespectful for a younger generation to ask about their elders, so she swallowed the words that came to her mouth and changed her words: "I
Come and lead the way for my sister-in-law."
Under her leadership, Shi Chunfen quickly went up to the attic. Chu Ying followed behind them, her eyes rolling around as she looked at Shi Chunfen from head to toe, and finally curled her lips in disdain.
Naturally, Shichun Equinox couldn't see these little moves of hers. She was preoccupied with how to ask Aunt Liu for help, so she was much more cautious in everything she said and did.
Fortunately, Aunt Liu didn't have the temperament to make things difficult for others. After hearing her intention, she readily agreed.
At the spring equinox, I felt relieved and returned to my yard with a lot of gratitude.
As soon as she left, Aunt Liu's two daughters couldn't help but talk, "The daughter-in-law married by this eldest brother is really terrible. She can't even do something as simple as hosting a tea party, and she has to rely on my mother to help her."
"The person who spoke was Aunt Liu's youngest daughter Chu Ying. I don't know why she was so hostile to Shi Chunquin. It seemed that she disdained being associated with her in the first place.
Chu Qian glanced at her. Although she felt that her sister's attitude towards Shi Chunquin was a bit inexplicable, she couldn't question her in front of her mother, so she could only agree with a smile, "Isn't it good to rely on mother's help? In the past, my aunt was so hostile to us.
Now my eldest brother’s wife has to rely on our help. When she comes back, I don’t know how angry she will be!”
"Nonsense!" Aunt Liu interrupted at the right time and scolded: "How many times have you said that you should respect your eldest mother as much as you respect your mother, but you have all turned a deaf ear, haven't you?!"
Chu Ying shrank her neck and did not dare to say a word.
But Chu Qian smiled and said: "Okay, okay, we just listen to mother. Don't be angry, mother."
Chu Ying rolled her eyes, thinking that if you respect others, others will not respect you, but she would never dare to say this, so she could only nod perfunctorily with her eldest sister.
Aunt Liu looked at the two daughters and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. They were both born from the same mother's womb. How could their temperaments be so different? Chu Qian could clearly see that her anger was fake and covering her mouth was real, so she
She would agree with a smile, but Chu Ying not only didn't notice it, but also thought she was clever in her heart, but she didn't know that it was very easy for adults to see through her thoughts.
With Chu Ying's temperament, if she doesn't stumble in the future, she will definitely suffer a big loss.
Aunt Liu had a plan in mind, but she didn't show it on her face, "Okay, I have promised to help you sister-in-law with the tea party. No matter how you two think of her, this tea party must be organized with mother-in-law in a lively manner, otherwise
It’s our own face that we lose, do you know that?”
The two men nodded quickly, "I understand, mother."
——
At the spring equinox, she returned to her yard, had a simple dinner, and then started writing invitations for the tea party overnight. She wrote the invitation list based on the list of gifts. After writing, she had to give it to Aunt Liu for review.
Make sure nothing goes wrong.
Li Yan stayed with her to polish her ink. Seeing that every stroke of her strokes was particularly graceful, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Grandma's calligraphy is so beautiful, too!"
Shi Chunfen smiled shyly. In the past ten years, although she could not go to the library like the daughter of the family, the old lady also specially hired a husband to teach her how to read and calligraphy, because she did not have to do anything while studying.
She was doing a lot of work, so she especially enjoyed class time, and she unknowingly developed good calligraphy skills. However, this kind of advantage was incomparable with those of real ladies, so she did not take Li Yan's praise to heart.
.
It took two hours to write the invitation. Over there, Yu Atu took advantage of Li Yan not returning to her room, took the money and ran to the other girls in the courtyard, and finally allowed her to figure out the time of the Spring Equinox in Chu.
The details of the family, it turned out that Shi Chunfen was abandoned by the eldest young master of the Chu family the day after she got married. No wonder she couldn't see her new brother-in-law when she returned home.
Yu Atu felt very funny. Fortunately, she still pretended to be glamorous in front of him, but in fact, she was disliked by her husband as soon as they got married, so she was so afraid of her cousin.
This person, once he is down and out, will find reasons for himself, why he is not with me, why his talents are not met, and why he is suppressed by others.
At this moment, Yu Atu firmly felt that Shi Chunfen was afraid that she would steal her husband, so he deliberately made her a maid to humiliate her. Probably only she knew how "clean and self-sufficient" she was, just because she didn't
If you are willing to be a concubine, you are so shameless in asking for help. How can you covet your cousin-in-law?
Yu Atu shook her head regretfully, there were not many "simple" people like her in the world.
On the vernal equinox, she wrote the invitation until late at night, and slept until three o'clock in the morning the next day. Fortunately, the head of Huating County and Chu Ling were not in the house, so she didn't have to get up early in the morning to serve her husband and her mother-in-law. After a simple lunch at noon, she
Go and send the invitation in person to Aunt Liu for review.
Because Li Yan stayed with her until late last night, she didn't ask her to accompany her. Instead, she took Yu Atu with her, intending to familiarize her with the environment of the house.
Yu Atu followed the Spring Equinox to the eldest master's garden, and realized that the Chu family was much bigger than she had imagined. There were mansions in the mansions, gardens in the gardens, and caves everywhere. When she saw Aunt Liu, she was even more stunned.
I was amazed in my heart.
Their daughter is as old as herself, and presumably the same age as her mother Shi Cui, but they have different fates.
Her hair is black and shiny, there are no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her skin is as white as snow, unlike her mother's hair, which has long been gray, and her face is covered with fine lines, and her skin is rough and dark yellow.
For the first time, she understood what her father said about a wife from a poor family being inferior to a concubine from a rich family. It was so irritating that people were so different from each other.
However, she was not completely intimidated by Aunt Liu's beauty. After all, when marrying someone, the most important thing is to see how that person treats you. If the husband's heart is not with her, no matter how beautiful she is, it is just a boudoir.
Resentful woman.
A happy marriage can only be considered a happy marriage if both people and wealth are gained.
