She seemed to have heard the voice of little Platycodon just now. It was a strange thing for such a young child to see such a scene.
Yu Jiao put out the firewood in the stove, thinking that Wang Mengyan came to the kitchen to get hot water, so she said to Yu Qizhe, "The water is ready, you go back to your room first, I'll go get some for my sister-in-law."
Yu Qizhe responded, stood up and did not leave.
After Yu Jiao brought a pot of hot water to the east room, he poured the hot water from the pot into a bucket and took it to Yu Jiao's room.
Yu Jiao knocked on the door of the east room and said directly outside the door, "Sister-in-law, I brought you some hot water and left it at the door."
She left quickly without waiting for Wang Mengyan to open the door.
It was because I felt that the scene just now was too embarrassing.
When Yu Jiao returned to the kitchen and saw that the hot water in the pot was gone, she was a little confused. Yu Qizhe walked in and said, "I sent the water to your room, and the bathtub was also moved there."
Yu Jiao felt his thoughtfulness, and the embarrassment of bringing hot water to Wang Mengyan eased a little.
After returning to her room to take a shower, Yu Jiao poured some water, lay on the bed, and thought about growing medicinal herbs in the village before falling asleep.
He had a dreamless night. The next day, after breakfast, Yu Ruhai asked Yu Jiao to stay in the main room to talk and asked about the medical fee.
After the family was divided, Yu Ruhai had no money, so he was unwilling to give up the opportunity to extort money from Yu Jiao.
"I am from the second house. Since you have divided the family, the medical fees I earn should not be divided with the public." Yu Jiao was not going to give in anymore. She directly interrupted Yu Ruhai's words.
Yu Ruhai's face darkened. "Fifty percent of the consultation fee has nothing to do with the division of the family. If it weren't for my name, no one would come to you for consultation. Now that you have become powerful, do you want to monopolize the consultation fee?"
"What you said is so unreasonable. It was you who said you would treat me as your granddaughter, and it was you who put me on the Yu family tree and in the household registration." Yu Jiao argued with Yu Ruhai with a cold expression, "If you don't recognize that I am a member of the Yu family, then you have no reason to ask for the medical fees I earned. If you recognize that I am a member of the Yu family, why did you divide the family and ask me to hand over the medical fees to the public?"
Yu Ruhai was speechless for a moment. He opened and closed his mouth for a long time before he said, "What a lie! If you consider yourself a descendant of the Yu family, you should have taken out the medical fee as filial piety money earlier. Besides, what are you, a girl, doing with so much money in your hands?"
"Speaking of filial piety, it's not my turn as a junior, right?" Yu Jiao looked at Yu Ruhai and said, "Uncle and Uncle Mengshan are the most filial. They have never lacked food or clothes for you. How can you, at your age, have the nerve to ask for money from a junior?"
Yu Ruhai was so angry that his beard trembled. He shouted, "Don't forget that you were bought into my Yu family! Which bride who sells herself for marriage is as presumptuous as you? I see that you and my Yu family have never been of the same mind. You are an ungrateful person who can never be tamed. Now that you have become capable, my Yu family can no longer accommodate you. Go back to where you came from!"
Yu Jiao sneered. It turned out that he was waiting for her here. Asking for the medical fee was just an excuse. The old man was probably still determined to get her married with the Yang family. Now he was trying to get rid of her in various ways.
"You want to drive me away?" Yu Jiao said calmly, "It is said that it is easier to invite a god than to send him away. You did everything you could to keep me in the Yu family. You refused to give me a birth certificate and forced me to take your family certificate and genealogy. Have you forgotten all these things you have done?"
She stood up, looked directly at Yu Ruhai, and said, "I followed your wishes and stayed in the Yu family. Now you want to drive me away, you'd better give up the idea as soon as possible. I want to stay, and no one can drive me away!"
She wanted to leave at first, but was unable to do so because of a contract of sale.
Although that hexagram was the reason why she did not try hard to leave, Yu Ruhai couldn't drive her away now.
Unless one day, there is nothing in the Yu family worth her attachment and she wants to leave on her own.
"You are so arrogant!" Yu Ruhai glared at Yu Jiao angrily, "Don't think I don't know what you are planning. You just want to climb up the social ladder because you see Qizhe is getting better and has won the top three prizes. That's why you don't want to leave!"
Yu Jiao smiled and deliberately angered Yu Ruhai by saying, "You are absolutely right. Yu Qizhe passed the imperial examination, and if I follow him, I will be his wife. When he passes the imperial examination, I will be his wife. Who knows, he may even pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar. Then I will be his wife, the wife of an official. I would be a fool to leave such a bright future!"
Yu Ruhai was so angry that his face turned blue. When he saw Yu Qizhe coming in from the main hall, his eyes lit up and he said hurriedly, "Fifth brother, listen to what she said. How can such a vain, vulgar and shallow woman compare to the daughter of Governor Yang?"
Yu Jiao turned around and met Yu Qizhe's gaze without dodging or avoiding.
Yu Qizhe's face showed no emotion. He walked up to Yu Jiao, held her hand, and said to Yu Ruhai, "I heard everything."
"You heard it, why don't you chase her away?" Yu Ruhai was so angry that he glared at him when he saw him pulling Yu Jiao.
"Do you want to be an official's wife?" Yu Qizhe lowered his eyes and looked at Yu Jiao and asked.
Yu Jiao nodded without hesitation, staring at the expression on his face.
