Chapter 234 Yang Lian'er's Thoughts
After Li Wanyue returned, she checked the mansion's account books, yesterday's gift book, and the book that contained her dowry.
Then he brought all the servants in the mansion to pay his respects.
About thirty people.
Nanny Wen asked her to take the opportunity to pick a few people to serve her.
Li Wanyue picked two. She basically didn't need to be served, and she just needed someone to clean the house and the yard.
She looked at everyone and said, "We are not a wealthy family, so there is no need for intrigue and schemes. As long as you do your job honestly and don't cause trouble, I will not treat you unfairly. If you have any difficulties, I will help solve them within a reasonable range.
If anyone has any evil intentions and is always looking to cause trouble, don't blame me for being merciless. Once caught, I will kill them all. You should supervise each other. If anyone finds someone doing something wrong, feel free to report it to the housekeeper or me. Once verified, the person who did something wrong will be severely punished, and the person who reports it will be rewarded. Have you written it down?"
"Noted." Everyone responded in unison.
"Well, I'll ask the butler to give you some wedding money later. After you get the money, go do your own work."
"Yes, ma'am."
After Li Wanyue finished speaking, she returned to the yard.
If the people below her do their job honestly and conscientiously, she can live a comfortable life.
When they returned home three days later, the housekeeper had prepared gifts and a carriage early in the morning, and Li Wanyue and Xie Yan took the carriage to Daohua Village.
After entering the village, the villagers greeted Li Wanyue one after another and she responded with a smile.
The entire Li family stood at the door to greet them.
It's only been two days, but it feels like two months have passed.
The family returned home in a lively manner.
Yang Lian'er, who had returned to her mother's home, saw this scene and clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly.
Today, Li Wanyue is dressed in silk and brocade, looking radiant and gorgeous.
Yang Zhoushi had just gone out to the fields when she saw Yang Lianer and asked, "Lianer, why are you back today?"
"Mom, let's talk about it when we get back."
As soon as she entered the house, Yang Lian'er burst into tears: "Mom, I have been married to the Cao family for a year, but there is no movement in my stomach. I went to the shop to see a doctor, and the doctor said that I am fine and I should just let nature take its course. However, my status in the Cao family is getting lower and lower. The concubine relies on giving birth to a son and doesn't take me, the legal wife, seriously at all. Most of the work in the shop is done by me. I am tired all day and have to wash clothes when I go home. I am so tired that I want to fall asleep every night. The good Cao Wenxing only said that he understands my hard work and can't bear to let me suffer at night, so I rest most of the time in the concubine's room. Mom, I am no different from a servant in the Cao family. What should I do in the future without a child?"
Yang Zhou patted her back with concern, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Then Yang Lian'er said again: "It's all your fault. You insisted on making me break off the engagement. Li Sandong is much better than Cao Wenxing in every aspect, and they are even more incomparable now.
If I had not called off the marriage with the Li family, I would be able to wear brocade clothes and gold and jade jewelry now, and I would have the support of the county magistrate, and I could do whatever I wanted. I would not have to endure so much hardship. Look at how prosperous Li Wanyue is now, and then look at me. She is obviously a few years older than me, but now when I stand with her, others will say that I am older than her. "
Yang Zhou's eyes lit up: "Lian'er, it's all my fault. I was doing it for your own good. Who knew the Li family would turn things around? I've already thought of a way. Just wait."
As Yang Zhou said this, she asked the eldest son of the Yang family to go to the town and asked Cao Wenxing to come and pick up Yang Lian'er after lunch.
In the afternoon, Yang Zhou and Yang Lian'er went to Li's house.
Li Wanyue was a little surprised. After all, the two families had hardly any contact since the breakup of the engagement. The mother and daughter suddenly came to her house, and she didn't know what they were doing.
When Li Sandong saw the two men, he immediately hid in his room.
Yang Lian'er lowered her head and said nothing, while Yang Zhoushi had a flattering look on her face and talked about this and that but refused to leave.
Li Wanyue and Xie Yan looked at each other and saw that it was getting late, so they stood up and said, "Dad, Mom, Brother and Sister-in-law, we're going back first."
Yang Zhou immediately stopped her and said, "Yueyue, now that you are married, it will be difficult for you to go back to your parents' home in the future. Please sit for a while."
"It only takes half an hour to get from the county to our village by horse carriage. You can come back anytime you want. Aunt, don't worry."
The two men turned around and walked out. Yang Zhou wanted to stop them, but she saw Boss Yang standing at the hanging flower gate and made a gesture to her.
Yang Zhou smiled even more brightly and quickly pulled Yang Lian'er.
Yang Lian'er knew that it was Cao Wenxing who came.
She immediately acted warmly and came closer to Li Wanyue. When they were near the gate, she even put her arm around Li Wanyue's arm.
Seeing that Li Wanyue was unhappy, she immediately pleaded, "Sister Yue, I didn't mean anything else. Mother asked me to cancel the engagement, and I didn't dare to disobey her. I was very sad after the cancellation of the engagement. I hurt Brother Sandong's heart. I feel sorry for him, but there is no regret medicine.
I am now living in dire straits in the Cao family. I am too embarrassed to ask my sister to help me go to my husband's family for support. I only ask my sister to be patient for a moment and pretend to treat me as a younger sister so that I can have a better life in my husband's family. Please."
While they were talking, they had already stepped out of the door. Yang Lian'er breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Wanyue did not push her away.
She immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Sister Yue, don't worry. I'm doing fine at my husband's house. I'll come to see you when I have time. If you're free, you can also come to my house and sit down."
Cao Wenxing, who was standing not far away, also saw this scene. His eyes lit up when he saw Li Wanyue in brocade clothes.
Then he lowered his head in fear at Xie Yan's cold gaze.
He walked forward with his head down and said, "Lian'er, I'm here to take you home."
"Sister Yue, my husband and I are going back. You must come to our house when you are free."
Without waiting for Li Wanyue to react, Yang Lian'er finished speaking, took Cao Wenxing's arm and got on the donkey cart.
Yang Zhou also smiled, said hello and left.
The Li family looked at each other.
"I don't know what the Yang family is up to."
Li Wanyue said: "No matter what medicine it is, it won't affect us. Dad and Mom, we will go back."
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back."
The two men got into the carriage. Qingfeng whipped the horse whip, and the horse's hooves clattered. Soon they disappeared from sight.
Soon it overtook the donkey cart.
Inside the carriage, Xie Yan asked, "That girl just now, you don't like her?"
"It's not a matter of whether I like it or not. It has nothing to do with my family."
Li Wanyue explained the relationship between the two families.
Xie Yan said: "So that's the case, then why did you help her just now?"
"I didn't say anything, let alone do anything. I just listened to her words. If she can really live better in her husband's family, let her do it."
Li Wanyue looked out the window and the scenery slowly receded.
No one expected Yang Lian'er to swallow her anger in her husband's family. The Yang family has saved some money now, and she doesn't want to be bullied. She wants to use her power to gain a foothold in the Yang family.
It's quite clever.
On the other side, Cao Wenxing was driving his donkey and asked, "Lian'er, the person you just talked to is the county lady?"
"yes."
"Then the man next to her is the county magistrate?"
"right."
"Are you on good terms with the county lord?"
"Yes, we grew up together. He used to be very nice to me, but after I got married, we didn't have much contact anymore." Yang Lian'er said with some aggrieved tone.
