"Why do I remember that he seemed to be engaged?" Mrs. Lian had long been looking for a suitable marriage partner for Lian Yiyi, so she naturally knew about that person's situation.
"Mom, his fiancée died some time ago." Lian Yiyi said.
If she hadn't attended the funeral, she wouldn't have met him, gotten to know him, and fallen in love with him.
Thinking of this, the smile on Lian Yiyi's face became even more intense.
"Oh, Yiyi, what good thing happened to you? Did you pick up some money when you went out? If that's the case, remember to spend the money immediately, otherwise it will be bad." Mrs. Lian Er came over. She came to receive the couplets.
Seeing Lian Yiyi's happy face, he couldn't help but come over and chat with her.
"Aunt, I didn't pick up any money. If I did, I would definitely buy something to share with everyone." Lian Yiyi smiled, "It's just that it's New Year's Day now, and I'm happy."
Mrs. Lian Er curled her lips and thought she was kidding. She saw Lian Yiyi smiling and didn't believe her when she said she had picked up money!
"Yiyi, if you really picked up some money, don't hide it or you'll lose it..."
Mrs. Lian was interrupted before she could finish her words. She yelled at Mrs. Lian, "How can you be so nosy? Our Yiyi said no, and that's it. It's almost Chinese New Year, and you're still saying such unlucky things to our Yiyi. Are you afraid of some serious illness? You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth!"
"Bah! I'm just concerned about Yiyi. How can you talk like that?" Mrs. Lian Er said unhappily. "I just meant well. If you don't like it, that's fine. But why are you cursing?"
"I know we're annoying. A few days ago, I asked my eldest brother to help me deal with the guarantor issue. But we really know we were wrong. We've been staying in our own yard lately and haven't even stepped out.
If my eldest brother hadn't sent someone to call me over to get the Spring Festival couplets today, I wouldn't have dared to go out." As Mrs. Lian Er spoke, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Mrs. Lian was so angry that she almost died. When would it be the turn of this big mouth to act so pretentiously here? Who was he pretending for?
Mrs. Lian was about to get angry but Lian Yiyi pulled her hand. Only then did she see Old Mrs. Lian walking towards them with an unexpected look on her face.
She could only grit her teeth and bear it.
"Aunt, I really didn't pick up any money. If I really did, I would give it all to you, okay?" Lian Yiyi's eyes suddenly turned red, and she looked at Mrs. Lian pitifully as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Mrs. Lian Er was immediately panicked. When did this damn girl Lian Yiyi become so good at acting? She even dared to turn the tables on her in front of the old lady.
"Oh, I told you I was just reminding you kindly, and I didn't ask for your money. What do you think your aunt is? Am I that greedy?"
Lian Yiyi's mouth twitched. Others might not dare to say it, but this Second Mrs. Lian could be said to be really greedy for money!
"That's enough, you all stop arguing. It's New Year's Day and you're still arguing here. Is that fun?"
Old Mrs. Lian was already unhappy because she couldn't have the reunion dinner today, and when she saw Second Mrs. Lian and Mrs. Lian arguing here, her mood became even worse.
Mrs. Lian Er took advantage of Mrs. Lian's inattention and made a face at Mrs. Lian, saying, "Don't try to bully her. She won't be so easy to bully in the future!"
When she got into trouble, Mrs. Lian didn't help her. She finally saw their true colors!
"I understand, ma'am," said Mrs. Lian.
"Mom, what kind of Spring Festival couplets did your elder brother write for you this year?" Mrs. Lian Er asked hurriedly and flatteringly.
Even the old lady had someone send them some supplements, saying that they could help them replenish their bodies.
She knew that Old Lady Lian was reluctant to let them suffer, so she took the opportunity to express her feelings to Old Lady Lian, and naturally Old Lady Lian gladly accepted it.
Although Old Lady Lian always scolded Lian Er for being stupid, Lian Er was her youngest son, a lump of flesh that fell from her body, and she loved Lian Er the most.
Sure enough, when Mrs. Lian Er asked this, Mrs. Lian Lao smiled happily.
She said, "This time it's different. This time, Doudou and Lianjin wrote the Spring Festival couplets for me. The one hanging in my room is written by Doudou. Let me read it to you."
"Okay." Mrs. Lian Er said with pretended happiness.
Although Old Lady Lian loved Lian Er, her love for him was not as great as her love for Lian Qi's family.
Lian Jiang had written Spring Festival couplets for Old Lady Lian before, but Old Lady Lian was never that happy. In the end, she discarded the couplets written by Lian Jiang and used the ones written by Lian Yan.
Now Doudou and Lian Jin have become Mrs. Lian’s treasures, and she even likes them to write Spring Festival couplets.
"The blessing star shines brightly on the whole family, the spring sunshine fills the whole house, and the horizontal banner reads "Five blessings spread all over the world." Old lady Lian's face was filled with a happy smile. "Don't you think it's great?"
Mrs. Lian Er quickly responded, "That's right."
She thought, I didn't expect that Doudou, who is only six years old, is so likable and can even come up with such words.
In comparison, her Lianjiang is really a little inferior.
"Okay, let's stop talking. I'm tired and I'm going to go back and rest first." said the old lady.
When Mrs. Lian Er sent Old Mrs. Lian out and came back, Mrs. Lian and Lian Yiyi had already taken the Spring Festival couplets and were ready to leave.
Several people collided head-on again.
Mrs. Lian couldn't help but sneer, "Oh, one of them is six years old, the other is ten years old, and their handwriting is more beautiful than Lian Jiang's, and their literary talent is even more outstanding.
I won’t ask you to come out to Lianjiang and embarrass yourself in the future.”
The second wife was annoyed and said anyone could be mentioned except her son!
"Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to tell my son what to do? Believe it or not, I will slap you twice!" Mrs. Lian Er was already unhappy, and she became even more unhappy after being provoked by Mrs. Lian.
"You're so capable now, you've grown wings, and you dare to yell at me, right? Believe it or not, I'll deduct some of your monthly salary, and then you won't have a penny to spend!"
Because of Lian Er's incident, he used the family's money to repay the principal. After Lian Yan spoke up, those people didn't dare to mention the interest anymore.
But the family still paid forty taels of silver, which was not a lot, but not a little either.
Lian Yan had someone deduct money from Lian Er's family expenses every month.
The only thing that was not missing was Lian Jiang's money, because he had to pay the tuition and buy the four treasures of the study.
If even the wife wants to deduct money from their family, then where will they get the money?
"You dare? If you dare to deduct it, I will tell the old lady and see whether she will help you or me." Mrs. Lian Er felt that she had found a backer and was no longer afraid of Mrs. Lian.
Mrs. Lian's expression changed and she stopped talking.
Originally, the old lady was dying, and she was in charge of all the household affairs. Even the second wife naturally had to act according to her mood. But now the old lady is getting stronger day by day, and many things have been done before her, so she can't control them even if she wants to.
Therefore, even the second wife dared to challenge her like this.
