Upon seeing this, Tian Guifen quickly grabbed her daughter and ran away.
This is so bloody, don't let it traumatize your daughter.
However, not long after Tian Guifen arrived home, Aunt Wang very considerately came over and told her what happened next.
"The ancestor came out and mediated... In the end, it was decided that both sides would compromise, and Qin Ruijin would compensate Li Xiaoxi with twenty taels of silver, which would be enough."
They're all ruthless characters, and they all have dirt on each other.
Either both sides suffer heavy losses, or they each take a step back.
"Twenty taels of silver? That's far less than what Li Xiaoxi asked for," Tian Guifen said as she sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) with her legs turned to the side, knitting socks.
Aunt Wang sighed, "No matter how much more, Qin Ruijin wouldn't give it to her. Besides, she bit Qin Ruijin's ear..."
"These two families... will probably both move away."
An An suddenly interjected.
Wang Xiuhe asked curiously, "An'an, how did you know?"
“Everyone knows about it now, even the most shameless person probably can’t stay here any longer, right?” An’an raised an eyebrow.
Most importantly, he would not allow Li Guihua's family to stay any longer.
The human heart is the most difficult thing to control.
Now he's telling us not to make things difficult for the Shen family, but what if he changes his mind someday?
He was too far away to help.
So it's better to get rid of them.
In this village, he would drive away everyone who disliked the Shen family, one by one.
"That's true."
Wang Xiuhe nodded.
Aunt Wang (Wang Xiuhe's mother) was quite helpless and said to Tian Guifen, "My dear in-law, you spoil Ah He too much. She's in confinement after giving birth, and you still love to listen to these gossips!"
They even dragged their neighbors here to talk about these things.
Wang Xiuhe blushed slightly.
"What's the big deal? Postpartum confinement is boring enough. Just listen to something funny to relieve the boredom." Tian Guifen really felt sorry for her eldest daughter-in-law.
So I had no choice but to treat them even better.
"Hey, An'an, what are you doing?"
Shen Liuliu watched with great curiosity as An'an took out paper and pen and kept writing on the table below.
Without looking up, An An said, "I'm writing idioms."
Idiom?
Shen Liuliu looked completely bewildered.
Tian Guifen couldn't help but ask, "Why are you writing idioms?"
“Oh, I’ve written down the idioms and their explanations. After I leave, Auntie, please read one to Liu Liu every day and teach her.”
With him around, how could anyone else be allowed to teach Liu Liu idioms?
Tian Guifen was overjoyed and quickly put down what she was holding to go down and take a look. Although she couldn't read, she knew that this was very precious and rare.
Her face immediately lit up with a smile: "You're such a thoughtful child. What would you like to eat for lunch? Auntie will make it for you."
"I just want to eat my aunt's home-cooked meals."
An'an didn't want the Shen family to make special arrangements for him.
They're not outsiders.
"Okay."
After seeing off Aunt Wang next door, Tian Guifen immediately went to cook, full of energy.
Only Shen Liuliu pouted.
She's only three years old, does she have to start learning already?
What a beautiful roll!
"Liu Liu, why don't you come with your father to see your sister Yun'er?" Shen Wanli hadn't forgotten about his niece.
Yesterday was too chaotic, there wasn't enough time.
Now that I have some free time, I want to go and visit them.
Sister Yun'er?
Thinking of her gentle and kind older sister, Shen Liuliu immediately nodded and eagerly followed.
An'an, however, ended up shooting herself in the foot and could only stay and continue writing idioms.
—
When the father and daughter arrived, Zhou Yushu was kneeling in the courtyard. The damp dew soaked his robes, and his thin body looked as if it would be blown away by the northwest wind, but he knelt upright and resolute.
Shen Wanli was extremely surprised.
The second brother is quite satisfied with this son-in-law; this time it's...
"Uncle, Sister Liu Liu."
When Zhou Yushu discovered Shen Wanli and his daughter, he showed no embarrassment whatsoever, but instead greeted them in a generous and natural manner.
It was as if he were a god sitting high in the heavens, rather than kneeling here in utter disarray.
"Yushu, what's wrong with you...?"
"I made a mistake," Zhou Yushu said simply, and then greeted her warmly like a host, "Uncle, come in quickly, don't let your sister get cold."
"My sister has become even more beautiful since I last saw her; she's so fair and rosy."
"Bang!"
Shen Qianli kicked the door open, stood up with a dark face, and cursed, "This isn't your home, you don't need to act like the master! Get out of here, my house is filthy, don't defile your noble body!"
Wow!
This was the first time Shen Liuliu had ever seen her second uncle act so strangely.
I was immediately filled with curiosity.
What did this brother-in-law do to make my second uncle so angry?
"Dad, please don't be so angry in front of Uncle. Let Uncle take my sister inside first, so she won't get cold. And please don't get so upset, or you'll catch a chill from the cold wind."
Zhou Yushu knelt there, looking up at everyone, but spoke softly and gently, his face elegant and serene, his composure making it seem as if he were kneeling before someone else.
Shen Liuliu thought to herself: Although this brother-in-law is kneeling, his aura is enough to look down on everyone here.
"Do you need to tell me?"
Shen Qianli was furious.
What he valued in Zhou Yushu back then was his calm and composed demeanor and temperament.
I believe this person is destined for great things!
She wouldn't take her anger out on her daughter because of her own emotions, and she would definitely be able to take good care of Yun'er.
But what angers him most right now is Zhou Yushu's calm and unhurried demeanor!
I wanted to tear his calm face apart!
They were all kneeling in front of him, how could he still be so calm?
"What are you doing? Hurry up and let Liu Liu in!" Little Zhou came out with red eyes, pushed the man, then forced a smile and beckoned Shen Wanli to bring Liu Liu in quickly.
From beginning to end, Madam Zhou did not spare Zhou Yushu even a glance.
It was as if there was nothing there at all, as if this person didn't exist at all.
Zhou Yushu tightened his grip on his sleeve, and his lips pressed even harder, revealing a pale color at the corners of his mouth.
"snort!"
Shen Qianli snorted coldly and closed the door directly.
It's very warm inside.
As soon as Shen Liuliu got onto the kang (heated brick bed), she took off her cotton-padded coat and snuggled directly into Shen Yun'er's arms.
"Sister Yun'er is so soft, I want to stick to Liu Liu."
Shen Liuli snuggled against Shen Yun'er, showing great dependence on her.
Shen Yun'er was delighted and reached out to stroke Liu Liu, but her fingertips were icy cold and her eyes were filled with sorrow.
Shen Yun'er couldn't help but turn her head to look at the window.
The paper windows blocked out the sunlight, making it difficult to see.
All that could be seen was a blurry figure, kneeling there motionless.
"Cough cough..."
It sounded like someone was coughing, and Shen Yun'er's heart immediately clenched.
"What are you looking at?"
Shen Qianli scolded his daughter in displeasure.
How can you be so spineless!
Mrs. Zhou was dissatisfied: "Why are you talking about our daughter? Our daughter has suffered enough."
"Smack!"
Suddenly, Zhang Mingyue, the eldest daughter-in-law of Xiao Zhou's family, slammed her hand on the kang table, raised her willow-leaf eyebrows, and shouted angrily, "Father, Mother, what nonsense are you spouting? Just tell my sister to divorce Zhou Yushu! It's not like we can't afford to support her! Why should the Zhou family treat her like this?"
To unite, or to separate?
Shen Liuliu was stunned.
What on earth happened?
