Chapter 159: Drinking to Apology
For this matter, Liu made a special trip back to the town and asked Xia Youcai what to do next.
She had tried several times before to get money from the old couple, but the results were like a blind man trying to light a lamp - a waste of wax.
Maybe Xia Youcai had to do it himself, or at least give him advice from behind. If he just relied on his own skills, it might be a waste of time and he wouldn't be able to persuade the old couple at all.
When Xia Youcai heard about the situation in the fourth room, his eyes sparkled.
At this moment, the couple in the first wife's house were only thinking about the benefits that were about to come, and completely forgot that based on the character of the couple in the fourth wife's house, if they could still endure it, how could they possibly break off the relationship with them?
Since they have come to the point of breaking off relations with them, it means that they have been tolerated for a long time.
Only when one is pushed to the limit of tolerance will they resort to tactics like "breaking off relations".
It’s not that Xia Youcai had completely forgotten about the document of severing the relationship.
However, he always felt that if Liu had not grabbed his hand and pressed the fingerprint, the fourth brother might still be unable to save face after seeing his condition.
Thinking of this, Xia Youcai couldn't help but glared at Liu fiercely.
When Liu was glared at by Xia Youcai, she felt a chill on the back of her neck. She immediately hunched her shoulders and lowered her head, not saying a word and not daring to breathe.
Seeing Liu being so honest, Xia Youcai felt like he had punched cotton, and ended up hurting himself internally.
He took two deep breaths before he managed to suppress his anger. He waved at Liu, waited for Liu to come forward timidly, and whispered a few words into her ear.
As Liu listened, her eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly, then hurried back to the village.
That evening, Liu had dinner with the old couple and was very attentive.
"Mom, eat this. It's soft and easy to digest."
"Dad, you should try this wine. This is a good wine that your eldest son specially asked someone to buy. It is not available on the market."
"Mom, these green vegetables are newly harvested these days, and they are very tender. These vegetable seeds are from the south. There are only two shops in Beiguan Town that sell them."
Mr. Xia and Mrs. Zhou let Mrs. Liu busy herself without saying anything.
It has been less than a year since the separation, and they have already become accustomed to the Liu family's performances one after another.
Zhou had been secretly planning to attack Jin Yong recently, but had never found an opportunity. No one knew where the beast Jin Yong had gone, as he seemed to have disappeared from Beiguan Town.
However, his home has not moved away, so there is no need to worry about him not coming back!
Zhou had such thoughts in her mind. Although she felt that she could do it without leaving any trace, she was also prepared to pay with her life if the matter was exposed.
Therefore, when Zhou looked at the people around him now, the way he looked at them was somewhat different from before.
Although Liu usually kept her thoughts hidden, she had been very anxious and obvious in her recent visits home. It seemed that she was really in trouble.
However, the eldest brother and his wife could actually do something like plotting against their own niece, which clearly shows that they don’t really regard these brothers as family members.
Although Zhou suppressed the fourth child and prevented the matter from spreading, most family members did not know why the first and fourth wives broke up.
But Zhou suppressed the matter for the sake of the family's dignity. It was not that she was unprincipled and favored the eldest wife, nor was it that she was not angry with the eldest wife.
Seeing Liu being so attentive at this time, Zhou couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
What trouble is the eldest wife going to make again?
Mrs. Liu didn't say anything, neither did she mention money nor the difficulties her family had encountered, as if she just wanted to be more affectionate to the old couple.
The old couple were inevitably a little surprised to see Liu like this. Could it be that they were too stubborn and eccentric and wrongly blamed their eldest daughter-in-law?
Liu and Jinhua settled down in the old house, and their daily lives in the village returned to normal.
I cooked when it was time to cook and washed clothes when it was time to wash clothes. Although the movements were a little unfamiliar, I did them pretty well after two days of getting used to them.
The old couple observed secretly and felt that they might have wrongly accused Liu.
Even if the other person used to be cunning and dishonest, can't he still experience the setback, learn his lesson, and start a new life?
However, I still need to slow down and wait and see, otherwise I will still feel uneasy!
The old couple looked at each other tacitly and said nothing, but they knew what each other was thinking.
Seeing that the old couple hadn't said anything yet, Liu thought that she would have to continue pretending tomorrow and that she would be exhausted... But, for the sake of the money, she had to hold on no matter how tired she was!
Liu secretly went to the South Lake and watched from afar how the fourth room lived in the new house.
Just in time for that, Erlang came with the waiter and the manager of the restaurant to pick up the goods.
Seeing jars of pickles being carried out in a continuous stream, and the manager smiling happily as he handed Erlang a bulging purse, Liu's breathing suddenly became heavier.
Then I heard Sun bragging that Erlang had made a lot of money and was planning to marry the young widow named Zhou that she had set her eyes on...
Liu felt that the first wife should not just sit there and watch the fourth wife's business.
Before, she thought that the fourth room’s business didn’t make much money. It was because the fourth room was so abominable and so good at pretending that she was deceived!
Therefore, these past few days, Liu had been trying very hard to pretend to be diligent and filial, constantly trying to gain favor in front of the old couple.
Just waiting for a suitable opportunity to propose joining the couple.
Of course, thanks to Xia Youcai's advice, Liu would not mention the fourth house's business every time she opened her mouth, nor would she cry poor.
The excuse she used this time was to apologize to the fourth room.
Not only do they have to apologize, but they also have to smooth over the "severance of the relationship" and the document of severance of the relationship must be taken back as soon as possible.
A family is still a family. They are obviously blood relatives. How can they completely cut off contact just because of a little misunderstanding?
Later, Dalang passed the imperial examination and became an official, and the relationship was not severed, which also made Fourth Uncle proud.
Even if the fourth brother's family didn't mind these false reputations, the marriages of his nephews and nieces would at least benefit from it. Even if the fourth brother and his wife didn't think about themselves, could they not think about their children?
Liu had prepared her words silently in her mind, waiting for the old couple to give in and arrange the apology banquet for her, then she would blurt out all these words.
In the end, the old couple couldn't stand Liu and Jinhua's pestering and decided to allow the eldest wife to hold the wedding banquet in the old house. They came forward and invited the fourth wife and her husband to come over.
After all, although the fourth couple had severed their ties with the first wife, they had not caused such a scene with the old couple and the other branches, and they were still close relatives, connected by blood.
The old couple invited them to dinner, and there was absolutely no reason for them not to show up.
