Zhou Hongyu immediately lost the will to continue speaking.
When everyone saw her suddenly frown, they assumed that the topic of getting married had hurt her feelings.
After all, this was a scandalous affair involving the second branch of the Chang family—
The neighbors exchanged glances and immediately made excuses to slip away.
At this moment, Liu Pozi's fierce cursing erupted from the alley.
Everyone had forgotten about it, and suddenly they all rushed to the door, craning their necks to see what was going on.
Zhou Hongyu wasn't quick to react to gossip, and walked slowly behind.
"Oh dear, Granny Liu has smashed all the dowry that girl brought! It seems she really doesn't intend to get married!"
"Tsk tsk, didn't I tell you all that when Granny Liu let slip a word about her family opening a shop, you all acted like starving wolves who hadn't eaten for ten or more years, eager to pounce on it? I think Granny Liu is very confident; she's not worried about not having a new one after this one leaves!"
Chen Zhaodi's eyes darted around when she heard this. Opening a shop meant that wives would be practically throwing themselves at her...
She'll be opening her own shop soon.
Doesn't this mean her daughter-in-law will be joining the family soon?
Liu Pozi's house.
Granny Liu, holding her breath, ruined today's wedding. After driving the bride's family away, she went back to her room and enjoyed a hearty cup of tea.
Liu Xiaoguai, who was looking forward to sleeping with his beautiful wife tonight, sat in the yard and cried loudly.
Liu Yuting had a splitting headache. This shouldn't have been her responsibility, but in the end, she was the one who had to clean up the mess!
An older woman was pushed forward by the people who came to help. She walked up to Liu Yuting and said, "Yuting, your mother has driven the bride's family away. Go back and ask your mother if they're still going to have the banquet. Give her an answer quickly, or we'll all be waiting here!"
Liu Yuting apologized to the old woman and reluctantly went back to her room to find Granny Liu.
Old Mrs. Liu was still angry, and the one who came over to question her was her least favored second daughter, who immediately launched into a tirade of abuse.
After scolding him, Granny Liu went out and publicly declared: "How dare you act like a spoiled young lady on my big day! Even without Butcher Zhang, I can still eat hairless pork. Tomorrow, I'll arrange a new bride for Xiao Guai!"
Liu Xiaoguai stopped crying and started laughing, wiping his snot on his clothes with the back of his hand.
"Grandma, find me someone prettier and more obedient, and she has to have a great figure!"
Liu Xiaoguai, this coward, has never been popular with women since he was a child. He's as timid as a mouse, and he's never had a proper conversation with a girl until now.
He's a coward, but he's still lustful. He's unemployed at home, yet he thinks about cuddling his wife and getting into bed every day.
Granny Liu waved her hand confidently: "My precious grandson, if one isn't enough, bring ten! There's bound to be a good family's daughter willing to marry into our family!"
Not many people actually know that Liu Yujie owns a shop.
Upon hearing this, everyone thought Granny Liu was shameless.
The woman who was chased away came from out of town and didn't know anything about Granny Liu's family background. She almost married into the family in a daze, ruining the woman's future. After all this, Granny Liu still wants to find a new one to replace her.
Go wash up and go to sleep; you can have anything in your dreams!
When Liu Yuting went to the convenience store to call Liu Yujie, Liu Yujie was furious to hear that the marriage had fallen through and gave Liu Yuting a good scolding over the phone.
Liu Yuting had no way to express her grievances, but she endured the injustice and told Liu Yujie about the task that Granny Liu had given her.
"Mom said that you, eldest sister, should find ten suitable girls to come for blind dates tomorrow. She wants to marry her granddaughter-in-law the day after tomorrow!"
Liu Yujie almost couldn't catch her breath after hearing that.
Today, the girl he almost married was chosen after careful consideration. If it weren't for the fact that she came from out of town to rely on relatives and lacked a strong family background, Liu Xiaoguai wouldn't have been so lucky to marry such a good girl.
Liu Yujie put in a lot of effort for her family, but in the end it was all in vain.
"Liu Yuting, do you even have a brain? Where am I supposed to find ten better girls? Why didn't you persuade Mom to come down when you were right at home? You can't handle anything right!"
Not only because of Liu Xiaoguai's wedding today, but also because of the shop's affairs, Liu Yujie was equally annoyed by the useless Liu Yuting.
Liu Yuting felt even more wronged than Dou E, and she desperately tried to explain: "Big sister, you, little sister, and big brother are all not here. I can't stop Mom by myself..."
Granny Liu might listen to anyone, but she would never listen to Liu Yuting. In her eyes, Liu Yuting was just a wisp of air.
Moreover, Liu Yuting received a notice last night that she would set up a tent at home to hold a banquet, and when she saw that her eldest sister and younger sister were absent the next day, she knew that she couldn't avoid this today.
Liu Yujie wouldn't listen to any explanations; she believed that everyone else was at fault, and that she was innocent.
"Liu Yuting, if you really wanted to do it, you could have done it. You're just hoping that Xiao Guai won't be able to get married so you can stay at home forever!"
Liu Yuting was hurt by Liu Yujie's unfiltered words and stood there stunned. She kept thinking about the three or five yuan living expenses that her older sister would send to the countryside from time to time over the years, which was a major reason why she was able to persevere until she returned to the city.
She thought that she and Liu Yujie still had some sisterly affection for each other.
I never imagined that Liu Yujie would see her as this kind of person.
After venting her anger, Liu Yujie ignored her reaction and ordered, "I'm going home tomorrow. Before that, make sure Mom doesn't say anything wrong!"
Liu Yujie didn't want to publicize opening the shop, after all, she still had a proper job with an enviable position.
She knew very well that everyone came from the same alley and had grown up the same way, but she was the only one who had transformed from a sparrow into a phoenix and become a rich wife, which made her the envy of many.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Yuting went back and repeated what she had said to Granny Liu verbatim.
Granny Liu, skeptical, curled her lip and said, "Yu Jie has always been afraid of this and that since she was a child. She has been the young mistress of the Song family for decades and never dared to let her family benefit from her. Now that she has taken money from the Song family to open a shop, and your younger sister is the shop manager, this shop should have a share in our Liu family. I'm going to go out and say it!"
Although Granny Liu doted on her clever eldest daughter, she harbored resentment because the family hadn't prospered despite her daughter's transformation from a sparrow to a phoenix.
The most she received as a gift from Liu Yujie each year was a hundred yuan or so, which she found distasteful compared to her title as the young mistress of the Song family.
So when Liu Yujie returned the next day, everyone came up to her and asked her.
Where is the store located?
How's business?
Do we still need to hire more people?
Is the store short of someone to manage it?
...
Liu Yujie's smile froze on her face until she entered her home.
As soon as she entered the house, Granny Liu angrily slammed her fist on the table: "I had your sister call last night, and you're only coming now after all this dawdling. If you don't want to help, then do it yourself. The Feng family in the backyard is willing to marry their youngest daughter into the family, and they're asking that their two older brothers be assigned to work at the shop..."
Liu Yujie couldn't keep her composure. Her shop was already in enough trouble, why would she come here again?
To prevent Granny Liu from agreeing to all sorts of outrageous conditions and marrying in all sorts of shady people, Liu Yujie took over the job.
"Mom, I'll handle this. You can rest!"
When the Feng family in the backyard heard that Liu Yujie had returned, they immediately sent someone over to inquire about the arrangements for Liu Yujie's wedding the next day.
Upon hearing Liu Yujie's excuse, Granny Feng's anger flared up.
