A group of people listened with great interest. One of the smart women said, "I was wondering why Doctor Yu's medical skills have improved recently. All the wealthy families in the town have come to him for treatment. It turns out that they are all here for his bride who is going to marry him!"
Another person took over the conversation and said, "How come the Yu family bought such a capable girl? If I had known, I would have bought her for my son to bring him good luck!"
"Then you should go to Mengjia Village and ask around. You may be able to find such a daughter-in-law! Yu Wulang is a top scholar, so he deserves to have such a capable daughter-in-law!" Someone in the crowd said with a smile, and the group of people dispersed with laughter and chatter.
Ever since Yu Ruhai went to the Chen family in person to ask for Chen Rou's hand in marriage on behalf of Yu Qizhe, but was rejected by Chen Gensheng, he had hardly had any contact with the Chen family. Now that he needed a favor, he not only stuffed two hundred dollars into Chen Gensheng's pocket, but also spoke to him in a nice way for a long time.
After all, Chen Gensheng was the head of the village and had sharp ears and eyes. Although he did not go to the Yu family’s door to inquire in person, he had received a letter long ago and knew that the He family had reconciled with the Yu family and that this visit was to give gifts rather than to cause trouble. So he took Yu Ruhai’s money, agreed readily, and followed Yu Ruhai to the Yu family.
Yu Ruhai took out the family tree and asked Chen Gensheng to add Yu Jiao's name to the tree, removing her surname and leaving only the name Yu Jiao. It matched the name of the second wife very well.
After sending Chen Gensheng out, Yu Ruhai was afraid that the night would be long and he would have more trouble, so he took the family tree and the household deeds and called Yu Jinshu to accompany him. The two of them secretly went to the Changkui County Government Office to put Yu Jiao on the Yu family's household register.
In the east room, Yu Fuling stuck to Yu Jiao in a flattering manner, and said worriedly, "Yu Jiao, you won't abandon my brother and walk away in the future, right?"
Seeing her worried look, Yu Jiao sighed and said, "I have found medicinal herbs on the mountain. Yu Qizhe will be well soon. When he passes the imperial examination and becomes an official, he will definitely help you find a brother or sister-in-law who is a thousand or ten thousand times better than me."
Yu Fuling pulled her sleeve and shook her head, "I don't want any other sister-in-law, no matter how good she is. I only recognize you. You are the best."
Yu Jiao chuckled. She still remembered how the little girl hated her when she just woke up. She kept talking about Chen Jia's Arou all day long. Now she has decided on her.
"What's wrong with me?" she asked with a smile.
Yu Fuling answered seriously, "You are good to my parents, to my younger brother, and to me. In short, you are good in every way. Although my younger brother has never said it in front of me, I know that he must think you are good in his heart, otherwise he would not sneak out to accompany you to the mountains to collect herbs. Yu Jiao, you should stay in the Yu family and live a good life with my younger brother. If he graduates from high school in the future, he will definitely not let you down."
Yu Jiao's mind flashed back to the image of Yu Qizhe half-kneeling on the ground on the mountain to wipe her feet yesterday. Her heart softened. It had been a long time since anyone had treated her so lovingly.
She came back to her senses, curled her lips and asked with a smile, "Did Yu Qizhe sneak out yesterday?"
"My brother has never done anything out of the ordinary. He sneaked out to accompany you to the mountain yesterday, which was the first time. Maybe he was afraid that his parents would worry about his health and would not let him go, so he stuffed the pillow into the quilt." Yu Fuling was also a little surprised and couldn't help laughing. "Yesterday at lunchtime, my mother went to call him for lunch. When he didn't respond, she pushed open the door and saw that the bed was bulging. She thought he was sleeping, but she didn't realize it was wrong until the evening. She lifted the quilt and took a look. My parents were dumbfounded!"
Yu Jiao didn't expect this to happen. She curled her lips and smiled. Yu Qizhe, the old-fashioned boy, is not old-fashioned at all now.
She stood up and said to Yu Fuling, "I'm going to Fifth Brother's room to practice calligraphy."
Yu Fuling wanted to add fuel to the fire between Yu Jiao and Yu Qizhe, so she said deliberately, "Just now when grandma said you were leaving, my brother looked very upset. I saw that he was sad, but I couldn't bring myself to persuade you to stay. Now that he knows you are not leaving, he must be very happy!"
How could Yu Jiao believe Yu Fuling's nonsense? She knew Yu Qizhe's character.
After knocking on the door twice, Yu Qizhe's voice came from inside the house, and Yu Jiao pushed the door and entered his room.
Yu Qizhe was sitting at the desk writing an article. When he heard footsteps, he raised his eyes and looked towards her.
