Chapter 195 She is just... not that lucky.
The rain has been on and off for five days. The streets are muddy and few people are willing to go out.
The Li family's clothing store on Guandong Street has also had a bleak business these days.
The old woman has poor eyesight, but her skills in making clothes are beyond reproach. She can thread a needle with her eyes closed.
"I haven't sold many clothes these days."
The Li family's wife replied: "When the weather clears up, there will be more customers."
She lowered her head to embroider, but when the finished product came out, she was not satisfied. Her rough fingers touched the petals.
"It's also my daughter-in-law's fault for being dull."
"Sister Yu's embroidery skills are really good, and she has a spirit. I asked her for advice at the beginning, but after so many years, I am still not as good as her."
She hasn't mentioned this person for a long time. It's inevitable that the words come out of her mouth in a trance.
The Li family and the Yu family live not far away.
But they never interact.
Yu's father is a bodyguard, very fierce, and people nearby dare not deal with him.
When he brought the delicate, weak and reserved Hu Yu Niang back, it alarmed many people.
Before she ran out to see, Yu Jingcheng came to her house.
In addition to buying wedding clothes, Yu Jingcheng also asked for a few sets of women's clothes and cloth shoes, and specifically asked for the most expensive ones.
The parents of the Yu family had passed away, and there were no elders or relatives. The wedding was not a big banquet, but everything was there.
The cold-eyed man who usually only knew how to carry a knife even delivered wedding cakes to every house, just to hear a few more beautiful words about the long-lasting love between husband and wife
. Everyone thought it was rare.
But... the new wife of the Yu family never went out after the wedding, and she hid at home all the time. Yu Jingcheng bought all the dishes before going to the escort agency.
I don't know since when, there were rumors that the new wife was timid and seemed afraid to see people.
Mrs. Li was old, except for her flexible hands, she sometimes spoke incoherently. The turbid eyes narrowed: "Who?"
"The daughter-in-law of the Yu family."
Mrs. Li thought for a while: "I don't remember."
The daughter-in-law of the Li family: "You said before that Sister Yu had talent."
I heard that she didn't even know how to sew at the beginning, and she was slowly figuring it out at home. After that, Yu Jingcheng never bought clothes outside.
Just then, someone entered the clothing store.
The girl took the umbrella and walked in.
She was fair-skinned and didn't wear too many accessories, but her eyes were delicate and well-behaved.
The Li family's wife didn't have time to talk, and hurriedly stood up: "Customer, are you going to buy clothes? The shop has some new styles, and the materials are also very soft."
Yu Tingwan looked straight at her - the hairpin on her head.
The last time she came, she didn't say anything, nor did she reveal her identity. It was just that her mother's affairs weighed on her heart, and she didn't dare to recall the past.
The Li family's wife just felt that this scene was a little inexplicably familiar.
"Can you sell me the hairpin?"
The Li family's wife just frowned. Yu Tingwan raised her hand and handed the few bags of cakes in her hand to Mrs. Li with a familiar tone.
"This is a milk skin pastry, with a rich milky aroma that melts in your mouth. I was ignorant when I was young, so I came here today to apologize to my mother-in-law."
Mrs. Li was wondering.
Yu Tingwan thought for a moment, "I pulled out the willow saplings that my mother-in-law planted in front of her house."
Plant one, pull one out.
Who has the destructive power of her?
Mrs. Li would curse every day for this.
Yu Tingwan: "I don't have any bad intentions."
She blinked: "It's just that the teacher asked me to write an article about willow trees during that period. Every time I pass by the Li family, I feel annoyed."
Yu Tingwan turned around: "Aunt Li."
"My mother didn't leave me any relics, I can only..." Before she
finished speaking.
"Yaoyao!"
This name...
is long-lost.
Yu Tingwan hasn't heard anyone call her like this for a long time.
The Li family's wife reacted and was very surprised: "You are Yaoyao."
"I didn't recognize you."
"You were a beauty when you were a child. Now that I look closely, you have some shadows of your past."
She strode forward and looked at Yu Tingwan carefully, but it seemed that she couldn't look at her enough and couldn't help sighing.
"I haven't seen you for these years. You have grown into a big girl."
This hairpin originally belonged to Yu's mother. She would not be willing to give it to anyone else, so how could she not give it to Yu Tingwan?
When the mother-in-law of the Li family heard this, she suddenly remembered.
"Is it the little girl of the Yu family?"
Yu Tingwan: "It's me."
The mother-in-law of the Li family had poor eyesight and her vision was blurred. She could only vaguely see the outline of the girl under the light and shadow.
"Where have you been during this period?"
"I haven't come to play at home for a long time."
The mother-in-law of the Li family: "But I was being naughty and got your father locked up at home."
When the daughter-in-law of the Li family heard this, she hurriedly looked at Yu Tingwan with an apologetic look on her face.
"My mother-in-law had an illness a few years ago, and she didn't recognize people very much, and forgot your family..."
Yu Tingwan smiled. It had been so long that she couldn't bear to hear others mention these things.
She said to the mother-in-law of the Li family: "My father couldn't bear to lock me up."
She took the hairpin that the daughter-in-law of the Li family had just taken down and handed to her.
It was made of silver.
It was very old.
It was also very light.
But she held it in her palm carefully like a treasure, not daring to use force.
"I should have given it to you earlier."
Li's wife: "When the accident happened, my mother-in-law and I went to visit relatives."
When she came back, she was completely dumbfounded to see that the Yu family was only in ruins.
"I learned that you were raised in the constable's house, so I wanted to look for you but ran away empty-handed."
"You..."
Li's wife asked: "How has your uncle treated you these years?"
Yu Tingwan only said: "I am married now, and my husband's family treats me very well."
After the girl left, Li's wife sent her to the door, and she was reluctant to look away even when she saw the figure being swallowed by the rain.
I don't know how long it took, but the old voice of Grandma Li came from behind.
"I remember it."
"Back then, we wanted to adopt Yu's Yaoyao."
Li's wife slowly retracted her gaze.
Yes.
Her husband left early, and her only son was gone.
There were only her and her mother-in-law at home.
It would be more lively to have a child.
When the Yu family had an accident, the little girl had nowhere to go, and it was Constable Zhu who couldn't bear to see her and took her home.
But Zhu has a large family. Although the girl can't eat much rice, how can Zhu's wife be willing to support Yu Tingwan for nothing?
When Li's wife came back from visiting her relatives, she was sad and had some ideas.
Although her family can't make money like Yu Jingcheng, and the conditions are not as good as Yu's family, Yaoyao will not have to worry about food and clothing with them.
They will continue to support the girl's education.
Watch her grow up.
Then choose a good husband for her, which can be regarded as... It can be regarded as an explanation to Sister Yu.
But it was too late.
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to Zhu's house, Yaoyao had been taken away by Sister Yu's family.
Li's wife sighed deeply.
She knew that Yaoyao had always wanted the best food and the best clothes since she was a child, and she also had to wear a lot of jewelry on her body. She was as proud as a little peacock, and every time she went out, it would jingle.
I can't wait to tell the neighbors that the troublemaker is here again.
But now she is plain.
Not a rogue anymore.
Not like her at all.
The innocence and mischievousness between her eyebrows and eyes had long disappeared.
Yu Tingwan, who was walking on the street, lifted her skirt and walked very carefully, avoiding potholes.
How could she know that even if her parents were gone, she was not a burden, nor was she an unwanted child.
She was just...
not that lucky.
