Chapter 7: A Daughter Married Off Is Like Water Spilt



"Mom, don't get so angry that you get sick. Xiaomo really cares about you. I've seen the gold bracelet. It's very heavy and has seven rubies inlaid on it. I think it's worth no less than five thousand yuan."

Yunmu not only didn't smile, but was full of doubts, "Is that bracelet really that valuable?"

"Well, the weight and style are similar to Mrs. Yan's. Mrs. Yan's bracelet is inlaid with six rubies and was custom-made by a famous craftsman in Beijing. It is said that it cost four thousand yuan. The one in Xiaomo's hand has an extra ruby. It was also a collection that was bought from abroad by someone else. I am underestimating the price of five thousand."

"Where did she get so much money?"

"That's not clear. Xiaomo has a prejudice against me and won't tell me anything."

After hearing this, Yunmu was so angry that she cursed the adopted daughter as an ungrateful person, and her dissatisfaction with her adopted daughter reached its peak.

"A-choo, ah-choo!"

Yun Mo returned to the room after taking a shower. She sneezed several times as soon as she entered the room. She rubbed her nose while looking at Ling Chuan, who had changed his clothes and seemed to be preparing to go out.

"Are you secretly scolding me?"

Ling Chuan gave her a strange look and didn't respond. "I need to go out for a while. You should go to bed early and don't have to wait for me."

The man went out after he finished speaking. Yun Mo didn't care. She hoped that he wouldn't come back tonight so that she could sleep more comfortably alone.

After closing the door, Yun Mo turned around and inadvertently discovered that all the peanut shells and leftovers on the wooden table had been cleared away.

It seems that this man is not useless.

The thought flashed through Yun Mo's mind, and then she sat cross-legged on the bed and counted the items in the Lingquan space.

In addition to her personal collection from her previous life, the Lingquan space also contains some emergency medicines, food, clothing, and self-defense weapons. Although the quantity is small, they are very practical for her now.

If she had known she would end up here, she should have stocked up on more supplies!

In this era of material scarcity and economic backwardness, the things in her space were too advanced and unique to be shown to others, but she was not afraid of the underwear she wore next to her body.

Yun Mo found a set of pure cotton underwear, cut off the label, put them on, and put the underwear back into the Lingquan space, waiting for an opportunity to deal with it.

As for outer clothes, she was forced to get married, so she didn't bring any luggage, let alone a dowry. Fortunately, there were some spare clothes in the space, so she was not without any change of clothes for the time being.

With the dim light coming through the low houses on both sides, the brothers Ling Jiang and Ling Chuan, each carrying rice, flour, grain, oil and other items in their hands, walked quickly in the shabby and narrow alley.

Ling Jiang: "Chuanzi, can't we go to Uncle Zhou's house tomorrow? Why does it have to be tonight? It's your wedding night, and you're leaving your sister-in-law alone at home. If this gets out, won't people gossip about you?"

"The construction site is pushing us hard, so we have to leave early tomorrow morning."

"So urgent? How about you stay home and spend a few more days with your sister-in-law tomorrow, and I'll go over and look after them first?"

"Need not."

Ling Jiang wanted to persuade them further, but when he looked up and saw the Zhou family just ahead, he had to stop talking.

At dinner time, the Yun family sat together around the dining table, and the large European-style chandelier above their heads illuminated the entire dining room.

In this era when poor people in the countryside still used kerosene lamps, the wealth of the Yun family was evident.

Although no one was mentioned by name, all the Yun family members knew who this "annoying guy" was referring to. This was a very rude remark, but no one in the Yun family spoke up to remind or stop it.

Father Yun Shixian looked at his eldest daughter Yun Yao with dignity, "Did anything go wrong with today's wedding?"

Yun Yao smiled and nodded, "Everything went well."

Yun Shixian snorted in displeasure, but didn't ask any more questions.

Yun Shixian is a well-known figure in Jiang City, so how could the events at the wedding be hidden from his eyes and ears?

Yun Shixian is not a housewife like Yunmu who is easily influenced by others. Yun Yao can gossip in front of Yunmu, but this trick doesn't work in front of the shrewd and experienced Yun Shixian.

Therefore, Yun Yao never said a bad word about Yun Mo in front of Yun Shixian.

As it turned out, Yun Shixian was very much attracted by this. What he wanted was a well-behaved and obedient daughter who could bring benefits to the Yun family, not a "worm" like Yun Mo who would only stir up trouble and bring shame to the Yun family.

At this time, Yun Cong, the second son of the Yun family, interrupted, "Isn't she going to come back tomorrow?"

Yun Yao: "Although Xiaomo is married, this is still her home, so it's normal for her to come back."

Yun Huan frowned in disgust, "This is not her home, and she is not a member of our Yun family!"

Yun Yao had been paying attention to Yun's father's expression. Seeing that he didn't show any signs of being angry, she continued, "Xiao Mo hasn't had time to pack her luggage yet. I wanted to ask the servants to pack it for her and send it over, but I was afraid she would get angry and say we messed with her things. Why don't we wait for her to come back and pack it herself? This will also be a good opportunity to ask her how she is doing at the Ling family."

"I don't want to see her! It's all because of her that I have lost face at school and no one wants to play with me!"

After Yun Yao's instigation in the afternoon, Yun's mother was already very dissatisfied with her adopted daughter. Now that she learned that her youngest daughter was also implicated, she felt even more disgusted with her adopted daughter.

"A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. We raised her until she was 18 and supported her education for so many years. We have done our best. Now that she is married, we should cut off contact with her from now on."

From what Yunmu said, does she want to completely cut off ties with Yunmo?

The Yun family members stopped eating and looked at Yun's father. He was the only one who could make the decisions in the family.

Yun Shixian did not express his opinion immediately, but was thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

As a businessman, the cost he invested in Yun Mo in the past 18 years was considerable. If he severed the relationship now, all the 18 years of careful training would be wasted.

Judging from Yun Mo's performance at the wedding today, this adopted daughter is not hopelessly stupid. Let's wait and see. What if she can bring some benefit to the family in the future? -

It was past 10 o'clock when I left Zhou's house. There was no prosperity and entertainment in this era, and the old street was a well-known slum. In order to save electricity and fuel, the residents went to bed early, and the whole block was dark and silent, like a sleeping beast.

The Lingchuan brothers hurried back home under the dim moonlight and went back to their respective rooms.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw a dim light coming through the crack. At that moment, Lingchuan felt as if something was gently brushing his heart, like the summer breeze, or the moonlight in the sky, gentle and hazy.

He paused for two seconds before reaching out and pushing the door.

“Squeak.”

As soon as I entered the room, what caught my eye was the woman's cute sleeping face.

She had a fair and smooth oval face, curved willow-shaped eyebrows, long and curled eyelashes that covered her eyelids like two small fans, and cherry lips that were rosy from deep sleep.
