Seeing that the two women didn't refuse and even spoke up for her, Zhang Sumei didn't know what to feel, but she didn't say anything more.
Instead, at Liu Weisong's invitation, she sat down to eat. Of course, her mood was very complicated, and she found the food tasteless.
The next morning, Liu Shihua and her brother, along with Wang Guangjie and his sister, boarded a bus to the county. Along the way, they encountered other people who were also going to register at school, including Liu Shiyi.
During this period, Liu Shiyi did not come to the Liu family home. Her mother did come once, but Liu Shile and Liu Shihua were not at home. She only heard about it from her older sister later.
However, the eldest sister's expression wasn't very good at the time, so Liu Shile didn't ask what the person had come for. It was probably just that the person was still persistent and wanted her second aunt to arrange a marriage.
Yes, Liu Shile later took Liu Shihua and beat someone up with a sack, then asked him what despicable things he had done.
The man was initially quite defiant, but perhaps because he was hurt by the beating, he honestly confessed a lot of things, including what his nephew Yang Xiaolin had asked him to do.
It wasn't that he wanted to betray his nephew, but rather that what he said displeased the other party, so they hit him in the most painful spots, which he simply couldn't bear.
However, that's all he knows. He really doesn't know anything else. As for other unethical things, such as what tricks he played when he got this position, he explained them all clearly.
However, Liu Shile wasn't very interested in these things. After hearing what she wanted to hear, she stopped tormenting the person and released them.
Then, at another time, he beat Yang Xiaolin up and forced him to reveal some things, including how he plotted against the Liu family and why he did so.
Liu Shihua was furious, especially after learning that his cousin Liu Shiyi was not innocent either. He was so angry that his face turned ashen, and he immediately wanted to confront Liu Shiyi.
He remembered that Lele had told him not to let his family's affairs slip by, but she went and told outsiders right away, which almost prevented their dairy cows from cooperating with the cooperative!
But Liu Shile didn't let him do that. Instead, she gave Yang Xiaolin a severe beating and warned him not to do anything underhanded or harmful to others, or she would make him pay.
Yang Xiaolin was furious, but he wisely kept quiet, which saved him from taking too many punches, though his injuries were quite severe.
He didn't know who hit him or why they asked him so many questions, but he figured the Liu family probably didn't know. So, after the matchmaker failed, he simply asked Liu Daya to step in.
He thought the Liu family would agree to the marriage out of consideration for him, since the Liu family was having a hard time these days. Although they had dairy cows and were cooperating with a cooperative, it was still better than marrying him and having no worries about food and drink.
However, he didn't know that Liu Shile and Liu Shihua had told their eldest sister, Liu Shixi, about this as soon as they got home, telling her to be careful, especially about people coming to the house recently.
As for telling their adoptive mother directly, Liu Shile felt that it would be better if they didn't say anything, as it might have the opposite effect. Therefore, after talking to her eldest sister, they unanimously decided that the eldest sister should tell her herself.
Liu Shixi wasn't really stupid. She had suspected before that the incident at home was a setup. Now that her younger siblings had seriously explained the situation to her and said that if she didn't believe them, they could take her to interrogate the person herself, what else could she not believe?
She just didn't realize that the root of all the problems in the family was herself. At that time, Liu Shixi was so guilty that she couldn't even eat. It was only after Liu Shile comforted her that she came to her senses.
Then she found some time to express her opinion to her mother, saying that she was not particularly old and could stay at home for a few more years, and that she would only take a quarter of her salary and give the rest to her family.
Although Zhang Sumei found it strange that her eldest daughter would do this, she was very happy that her daughter offered to give two-thirds of her salary to the family, so she simply agreed to her request.
Anyway, every extra day she stays at home means an extra day of income for the family. How could Zhang Sumei possibly refuse such a worthwhile offer?
So when Liu Daya arrived at the Liu family home, after chatting for a while, she brought up the real business, but Zhang Sumei refused her without any politeness. She even felt that this sister-in-law had ill intentions.
Her eldest daughter is so successful, yet she only earns a small salary. If she stays home for even one more day, the family's income will increase. But her sister-in-law is something else, trying to arrange some ridiculous marriage proposals for her. Is this something a human being would do?
She was absolutely furious! So she immediately and rudely kicked her out, telling her to mind her own business and stop meddling in other people's affairs all the time.
Liu Daya was very angry. She used to think that although her sister-in-law wasn't very nice to her husband, her brother-in-law was good to their family. Now, because of her brother-in-law, she came to propose marriage for her niece but was given the cold shoulder and sent away. She felt uncomfortable no matter how she thought about it.
She really wanted to retort, "Zhang Sumei, what right do you have to give me attitude? Your own husband is disabled, and you can't do any heavy work either. What gives you the right to be so arrogant towards me?"
She thought to herself, given her husband's personality, her brother-in-law's family would likely still depend on them for a living in the future. Instead of treating her sister-in-law well, she was giving her the cold shoulder. Humph!
Although she understood that her sister-in-law had a hard time and felt that her brother-in-law's family's situation might have something to do with her own, she still couldn't swallow her anger.
Does she really think that just because she's the eldest sister-in-law, she has to listen to her in everything? If it weren't for her husband, she wouldn't have bothered making this trip.
Speaking of which, it's a blessing for Shixi to marry into the Yang family, isn't it? A girl in her early twenties who hasn't been engaged yet would be looked down upon by anyone. She should be burning incense for the fact that the Yang family's son doesn't look down on her!
But what did they do? Not only did they refuse, they also coldly kicked her out. "Hmph, I'll see what kind of future your child will have, and what kind of good family he'll marry into!"
After returning home in a huff, she gave Yang's son a reply, without exaggerating or saying anything nice.
After returning home, she told her husband about it, asking him to consider her and her daughter more in the future, and that her sister-in-law's treatment of her clearly showed that she looked down on them.
In the past, she would never have said such a thing, since her brother-in-law's family had always been well-off and it was good to be on good terms with them. But now, since they didn't appreciate it, they shouldn't go out of their way to make themselves disliked.
She had no idea what Yang Xiaolin, who had asked her to act as matchmaker, had done inside, and therefore did not understand why Zhang Sumei had such an attitude.
