Why did it take you so long to open the door?
When Li Cuiliu saw the door open, she complained a couple of times, but when she looked up, she saw a man covering his face with his hands and leaving.
It took Li Cuiliu a while to realize what was happening.
Upon entering the courtyard, one finds a woman leaning against the door, her shoulders exposed, exuding natural allure and captivating charm!
"Aren't you worried at all that Chi Erchuan won't want you anymore, my dear second sister-in-law?" Li Cuiliu said with utter contempt.
That's right.
This is Chi Erchuan's home.
Shi Hongxing glanced lazily at Li Cuiliu and said with a smile, "Don't you know in your heart whether Chi Erchuan will leave me or not?"
The words were spoken in a vague and ambiguous manner, but Li Cuiliu understood them perfectly.
Without saying anything else, she took out two silver ingots and handed them to Li Cuiliu.
"Here's ten taels of silver. We're even now."
“Perfect timing. My perfume is almost used up. This ten taels of silver is enough for me to buy perfume for two years.”
Shi Hongxing was very happy.
Ever since she started using the rose-scented balm she bought in the city, she has been unable to use any other perfumes.
However, this perfume was extremely expensive, and Chi Erchuan simply couldn't afford it.
She had asked someone else to buy two boxes before, and they've already used them all.
I'm really worried about it.
Ten taels of silver, just right!
"You spent all ten taels of silver on perfume?"
Li Cuiliu was speechless.
Shi Hongxing asked her curiously, "Does that mean I should be like you and not know how to dress myself up? But then again, with your figure and looks, there's no need for you to take care of yourself. You certainly wouldn't understand my troubles."
That arrogant tone made Li Cuiliu so angry that she wanted to slap her twice!
The two didn't have much of a relationship to begin with, so Li Cuiliu naturally wouldn't let her off the hook and immediately retorted:
"Yes, it's because you're good-looking. Otherwise, how could you cheat on Chi Erchuan so often?"
"Have you ever seen me sleep with other men?" Shi Hongxing asked casually.
There wasn't a trace of anger in his tone.
Li Cuiliu pursed her lips: "Who could possibly see something like this?"
Shi Hongxing said frankly, "I have never slept with any other man, so naturally I have never cheated on him."
"The man who just went out..."
"Oh, you mean him? He likes me so much that he just came to admire me."
Li Cuiliu: ……
Fuck your appreciation!
She's like a prostitute trying to maintain a virtuous image.
What is it?
The two couldn't agree on anything, and Li Cuiliu left after giving Shi Hongxing a few words of advice.
Li Cuiliu was well aware of her family's thoughts.
After arriving home, I took out two boxes of honey and gave one to my younger brother and the other to my nephew and niece.
Then he took out a bolt of cloth and gave it to Li Lao Er, a new pipe to Li Guangmao, and a plain silver hairpin to Zhou Shi.
"...I know my parents love me, so they gave me four taels of silver as my dowry. But it will be difficult for me to be filial to them every day in the future, so I can only use the dowry they gave me to buy them some things to show my appreciation..."
Hearing Li Cuiliu's words, everyone in the family except for Li Lao Er's wife was extremely satisfied.
It has to be said that Li Cuiliu's level of skill is far superior to that of her mother, Zhou Shi.
*
On the day the Qian and Li families agreed to get married on August 29th, the water in the Chi family's well finally dried up, leaving only a shallow layer, barely enough for their own drinking water.
The villagers can no longer shamelessly come to ask for water.
"Do you think it's because the Li family is unlucky? Li Cuiliu insisted on getting married early, and as soon as the date was set, the water in the Chi family's well dried up! The well hadn't dried up for a month after the drought, and now it's empty!"
"What are you talking about? What could possibly be the connection between these two things?"
"Hey, who knows, it might actually be related. Remember when lightning struck the Li family's gate and burned down their courtyard wall... that means God doesn't like the Li family. Now that they have a happy occasion, God is unhappy and has taken the water back from the Chi family's well!"
"No way?"
Although it was nonsense, the words spread like wildfire, and soon the entire Dahe Village was talking about it.
When the Li family heard this, Zhou was naturally furious and started cursing.
But everyone in the village says so, and she doesn't know who to hold accountable.
Li Cuiliu was so angry that she cried several times.
In an attempt to regain face, they actually demanded that Qian Dongfu go to Qian Donglai's house in the city to get married! They really wanted to make a scene!
Qian Dongfu was always willing to help.
Aunt Qian was so angry that she started cursing.
The mother and son were locked in a stalemate again.
"Do you think Aunt Qian will eventually agree to Qian Dongfu's proposal?" Third Sister-in-law Chi was always gossipy.
With the villagers helping with the watering these past few days, Sister-in-law Chi wasn't as tired, so she naturally had more energy to gossip.
Aunt Chi didn't want to hear anything about Zhou Shi in the house, so she scolded her: "If you want to ask, go ask your great-aunt! You're not allowed to say anything in this house!"
Sister-in-law Chi muttered a couple of displeased words.
Ultimately, they didn't have the courage to say anything else.
“Old woman, things can’t go on like this. The children are all grown up and have nothing to do anyway. Why don’t we have the eldest son teach the children to read?”
Old Man Chi and Aunt Chi discussed it.
Back then, Old Man Chi sent Chi Dashan, Chi Erchuan, and Chi Sanhe to school. However, Chi Dashan didn't have the talent. Although he was hardworking and diligent, he ultimately didn't achieve anything remarkable.
I dropped out of school to avoid wasting my family's money.
As for Chi Sanhe, he couldn't endure any hardship. After studying for half a month, he complained that he didn't want to continue.
