Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Finding a job
After hearing what Fu Wenxiao said, Yu Li's reaction was not happiness or relief, but a somewhat subtle expression.
She tilted her head to look at him and said slowly, "Isn't this bad?"
Fu Wenxiao asked: "What's wrong?"
It seemed as if one could not see the expression on her face. She looked relaxed and didn't care at all about the fact that the family had no money and no food. She was so indifferent as if nothing in this world could make her care.
"Your health is not good, how can I let you go to work?" Yu Li said seriously, "Even if you need to work, I will go."
She couldn't let a sick person work.
Fu Wenxiao paused, and suddenly said, "Li Niang, come here."
Yu Li didn't understand what was going on, but he still walked up to him obediently and looked down at him.
He was sitting on the bed and she was standing in front of it. She was much taller than him.
Even so, his posture did not appear weak, and his relaxed look made it easy for people to ignore his weakness and look at him as a person.
Fu Wenxiao didn't care. He looked into her eyes, as if he was looking deeply into her heart, gazing at the soul under this body, and said gently, "Li Niang, you are also feeling very uncomfortable, right?"
Hearing this, Yu Li showed a confused look on his face, tilted his head, and said nothing.
After a long while, she asked, "Why do you feel... uncomfortable with me?"
When she asked this question, it meant that she was implicitly admitting that there was indeed something wrong with her body.
Fu Wenxiao smiled and said, "Maybe I've been sick for too long, so I can relate to you."
In fact, whether a person's body is healthy or not will always be shown in some body language. No matter how strong that person's willpower is or how hard they try to pretend not to care, certain reactions of the human body cannot be deceived.
Fu Wenxiao was a very observant person, and as he had been bedridden for a long time, he knew how people would react when they were feeling unwell.
She did behave like a normal person, so normal that no one noticed her discomfort. However, the two of them slept in the same bed, facing each other day and night, still made him discover some clues.
For example, if she falls asleep, she will sleep very deeply, as if she is using sleep to adjust her body and repair any physical discomfort.
However, as long as he made the slightest movement, she would wake up immediately, although she appeared very calm after waking up and her movements were quick, as if she had not fallen into a deep sleep.
However, one could still tell from her slightly sluggish expression that her physical discomfort still affected her.
Yu Li was just surprised and said, "It's okay, it doesn't affect anything."
Apart from feeling extremely uncomfortable, it didn't affect anything. Even if she were asked to fight, she felt that she would not lose.
She would only lose if she faced those bloodthirsty alien species, and the price of losing would be her own life.
Fu Wenxiao smiled again. His smile was elegant and gentle, like the clear light of falling snow, bright and beautiful.
"I don't know how your body is, and it's obvious that you're not feeling well. Don't force yourself." He said with a smile, "Li Niang, don't worry. You won't starve."
Finding that she might not be feeling well, he thought about finding a doctor to see her, but he quickly suppressed the idea.
He was not a nosy person. Since she didn't mention it, it probably wasn't necessary, or she had some reservations.
Putting himself in other people's shoes, he also doesn't like others to explore himself too much, whether it is good or bad.
Yu Li shook his head and insisted: "It's okay, I can do it."
Fu Wenxiao was a little surprised and asked, "Why do you insist?"
If she were an ordinary girl, she would be happy to know that her husband's family is willing to make money to support her and does not require her to go out and show up in public and work hard, right?
Of course, she is not an ordinary girl...
Yu Li decided to tell the truth: "You are old, young, and sick. There is no other way for this family except relying on me."
Faced with this situation, she decided to take on the responsibility of supporting the family.
In her previous life, she was busy with various dangerous missions, rarely interacted with people, and didn't even know how to get along with others.
However, she was not feeling well these days, and the Fu family not only provided her with a place to stay, but also gave her enough food to help her get through the initial period of weakness. Zhou was kind-hearted, and her two children were innocent and cute. Fu Wenxiao was sickly, but she was also very kind-hearted, and did not dislike her for eating too much...
It’s nice to meet nice people when you first arrive in this strange world.
Now she is temporarily staying at the Fu family. She has eaten up the food of the Fu family in advance. This is her responsibility. Naturally, she has to do something to give it back to repay their kindness.
Fu Wenxiao couldn't help but remain silent.
She is so honest that one is speechless.
As a dying man in her eyes, whatever he did would probably be wrong.
**
Although he had to find a job to earn money to support his family, for a moment, Yu Li didn't know what kind of job to find.
In the original owner's memory, farmers only did a few things to make money.
Women who are good at needlework can do some embroidery work and send the finished products to embroidery shops in the county town, like Zhou and Yu Yin.
Or you can wash clothes for others. This job does not require any technical skills and does not pay much.
You can also work as a porter at the dock in the county town, earning hard-earned money. Usually, men do this, and women rarely do this. You can also work as a long-term or short-term worker for some big households, but you have to stay in the fields all day long, working with the fields...
In addition to needlework, Yu Li felt that she could still do other work.
She is strong and can do any job, whether it is washing clothes, carrying goods at the dock, or doing long-term or short-term work.
Should I?
Seeing that Fu Wenxiao had gotten better and he no longer needed to stay with him, Yu Li went to Yu's house for a meal again.
Because Fu Wenxiao was ill recently, Yu Li hadn't come to the Yu family for breakfast for several days, but Yu Jin still saved breakfast for her. If she hadn't come, the sisters would have shared it and left some for their parents.
During this period, the people in the second room could eat their fill every day.
"Big sister, you're here!"
Seeing Yu Li, the Yu Jin sisters were very happy and quickly brought her the breakfast on the stove.
However, the Yu family was afraid of meeting Yu Li, so they rarely stayed at home during the day. They didn't know that Yu Li hadn't come to have breakfast these days, otherwise they would have been happy.
Yu Jin asked with concern: "Sister, how is your brother-in-law's health?"
Yu Yin and Yu Zhu also looked at Yu Li nervously.
They were naturally concerned about this brother-in-law whom they had never met. Although Yu Li had been married to the Fu family for almost a month, they did not bother her because Fu Wenxiao was in poor health, so they had not met this brother-in-law until now.
In fact, it's not just them. Most people in the village have never seen Fu Wenxiao and don't know what he looks like.
Three years ago, Fu Wenxiao came to Qingshi Village. Due to poor health, he stayed indoors. There is a custom here that if a family has a patient, one should not disturb them easily for fear of bad luck.
Of course, the Yu Jin sisters felt that they were not afraid. Other members of the Yu family would definitely mind and would not let them come, so it was not easy for them to go there rashly.
They heard that Fu Wenxiao was in poor health, but they didn't know how bad it was. Their eldest sister had already married, and the Fu family seemed to treat their eldest sister well. So they naturally hoped that he lived well and would not die and make their eldest sister a widow.
Although widows are not prohibited from remarrying these days, the title of widow is not a good title after all, and it will also lead to gossips like "unlucky in marriage" and "having a hard life". They don't want their eldest sister to suffer this injustice.
Yu Li said: "I can still breathe for the time being."
Three sisters: “…”
Sister, listen to what you are saying. What do you mean you can still breathe for the time being? Does it mean you won't be able to breathe one day?
Yu Li was telling the truth. In her eyes, the difference between the living and the dead is whether they can breathe.
Fu Wenxiao was a sickly person, his breathing was weaker than that of an ordinary person. Falling asleep every night listening to his breathing made her feel that he was going to die at any time.
Seeing that Yu Li looked calm, Yu Jin guessed that his brother-in-law should be fine for the time being.
She felt a little relieved and said, "Sister, a few days ago, grandma and uncle sent food to uncle and his family in the county town. I think they wanted to ask uncle for advice on how to deal with you..."
Yu Li was eating and looked up at her when he heard this.
Yu Yin's face changed slightly and he nervously grabbed his sleeve. Only the young Yu Zhu didn't understand.
She blinked, looked at her sisters in confusion, and muttered, "My uncle and his family are so nice. They can live in the county town and eat fine grains. I haven't even been to the county town yet..."
Not to mention her, even Yu Jin and Yu Yin had never been there. Every time they saw their aunt taking Yu Qin and Yu Jingzong to the county town, they could only watch with envy.
After hearing this, Yu Li just responded indifferently and continued eating.
He didn't seem to take it to heart.
Yu Jin had always had great confidence in her, and seeing this, he felt even more relieved and didn't take it to heart. Even Yu Yin, who was still a little worried, was relieved as well.
As long as Yu Li doesn't care, they are not worried. They now trust Yu Li very much and have a blind trust in her.
They don't even have such trust in their parents.
Yu Jin smiled and continued, "My uncle only has a limited amount of vacation time each month. If he wants to come back, he has to wait until next month's vacation. By the way, my aunt, Qin Jie, and Zong Ge'er stayed in the county town for a long time this time and haven't come back yet. I guess something happened at Chen Xiucai's house..."
Apart from the fact that something happened at Chen Xiucai's family, she couldn't think of any reason why her aunt and her family could stay in the county town for so long without coming back and yet her grandmother wasn't angry. As long as it was related to Chen Xiucai's family, her grandmother would rarely get angry.
Since the eldest family is not coming back, the other members of the Yu family have no confidence in facing Yu Li. They can only continue to keep things as they are and dare not easily break the current situation.
Yu Jin is very clear about this, so he is not worried about anything now.
Everything will have to wait until my uncle and his family come back.
Yu Li listened silently and ate his breakfast cleanly.
After breakfast, she didn't leave in a hurry. Seeing Yu Yin sitting next to her embroidering a handkerchief, she said, "I'm going to find a job in the city tomorrow. I'll take the purses and handkerchiefs made by my third sister to the embroidery shop to sell for you."
All the embroidery work done by Yu Yin was given to the old lady. When the Yu family went to the city to deliver grain at the beginning of the month, they would take the embroidery shops in the city to sell them. The money from the sales was naturally kept by the old lady and put into the public treasury, and not a penny went to Yu Yin.
Yu Li knew about this from the original owner's memory, and thought it would be better to sell it himself and give the money directly to Yu Yin.
This was made by Yu Yin herself, so why shouldn’t she get a penny from selling it?
Even if it was to be handed over to the public, it didn't make sense to hand it all over. You have to know that when Yu Lao San went to the city to do odd jobs during the slack season, he only handed over a portion of the money he earned, leaving a lot behind, not to mention the first wife. Only the second wife was easy to bully, and the second wife and Yu Lao were honest. The money they earned from odd jobs during the slack season was taken away by the old lady, leaving not a penny behind.
Yu Jin and Yu Yin were both stunned.
The two sisters looked at her in confusion, "Sister, are you going to the city to find a job?"
Yu Li nodded and said truthfully: "The Fu family has run out of money and the food is almost gone. We have to make money to buy food."
Sister Yu Jin was really stunned. The Fu family, the richest in the eyes of the villagers, was actually out of money? And almost out of food? How was it possible?
When the eldest sister was sold to the Fu family by their grandmother for the purpose of bringing good fortune, they comforted themselves by thinking that at least the Fu family would not have to worry about food and clothing, and it would be good for the eldest sister to marry into the family.
Who would have thought that the Fu family was so poor?
Yu Li was a little embarrassed and scratched his face in embarrassment. "Actually, I ate too much and ate up all the food in the Fu family. We have to wait until the autumn harvest to have food..."
The sisters immediately thought of her appetite and looked at each other in silence.
If this is the case, it is understandable. Even the Yu family has consumed more food recently than before. Every day they can hear the old lady standing in the yard and complaining when she takes out the food.
She didn't dare to scold Yu Li openly, for fear that Yu Jin and her sisters would complain, so she could only vent her resentment in this way.
Yu Jin quickly accepted this and did not think there was anything wrong with her elder sister eating up all the food in the Fu family. She asked with concern, "Sister, what kind of job are you going to find?"
"I'm not sure yet." Yu Li said, "I'm strong, I can wash clothes, carry goods, etc. I'll decide after I go to the city tomorrow."
Yu Jin said, "Sister, it's not easy to do laundry. There are many women doing this in the city. They have their own connections and know where to get the work. If you rashly join them, not to mention whether you can get the laundry, you will also be taking away other people's work. I'm afraid you will be excluded and won't get any work... And since they see that you are from the country, they will deliberately lower the price, and you will get less money than others."
Hearing this, the sisters all looked at her.
Yu Yin was surprised and said, "Second sister, you know so much."
If she didn't know very well that her second sister had never been to the county town, she would have thought that she had been there.
Among the sisters, I heard that only the eldest sister had been to the county town when she was a child.
At that time, Yu Laoer and his wife only had two daughters, Yu Li and Yu Jin, who were somewhat rare. They took the older Yu Li to the city to buy things.
Later, baby girls were born one after another in the second wife's family. Everyone else looked down on the second wife, and Yu Laoer and his wife had no intention of bringing their daughter to the city again.
Facing the admiring gazes of his two younger sisters, Yu Jin said somewhat embarrassedly: "Actually, I heard that from someone else."
The four girls from the second branch of the Yu family have different personalities.
The eldest daughter, Yu Li, is taciturn and, like her mother, just works silently.
The second daughter, Yu Jin, is hot-tempered and impulsive, but she is also smart and knows how to judge the situation.
The third daughter, Yu Yin, is introverted and quiet, very timid and easily frightened.
The fourth daughter, Yuzhu, is lively, but only in front of her sisters. She is a little timid in front of outsiders.
Yu Jin is the most clear-headed among the second wives. She knows that her parents are unreliable and that their children are all girls and are not valued. In the future, when the sisters grow up, grandma will marry them off to anyone who is willing to pay a high betrothal gift, and she doesn't care whether they marry for a good family or a bad one.
Therefore, Yu Jin had a strong sense of crisis and was always thinking about how to find a way out. He paid close attention to collecting information from the outside world and often listened to the chats of the villagers who had returned from the city.
Unfortunately, she was still young, and there was too much work to do at home, and her grandmother was watching her closely, so even if she had any ideas, she didn't dare to put them into practice.
"Very good." Yu Li touched Yu Jin's head and praised, "Keep it up, second sister."
Yu Jin's cheeks turned slightly red and she smiled with her lips pursed.
This was the first time someone praised her. No matter how capable a girl is, she would want to be praised by others. However, girls from the countryside were not valued and no one had ever praised her. However, Yu Yin's embroidery work had been praised before.
Yu Jin became excited and analyzed the work in the city for her elder sister, fearing that her elder sister, who was as honest as her parents, would be cheated.
"… I heard that there are managers who are responsible for carrying goods at the dock. Most of the laborers at the dock are from the county town. If you want to find work at the dock, you must first find the manager in charge. The manager will charge you some fees."
Even if it is hard labor, there are many people doing this in the city. City people have no land, so most people can only do hard labor, unless they are educated.
Most of the managers in charge of this matter have fixed laborers under them. If the country people want to find work at the dock, they have to first go to the managers for introductions. Since they are temporary, they will not get much money, and a lot of it will be taken away by the managers.
Then Yu Jin said a lot more, and even the big households in the village knew something about hiring long-term and short-term workers, how much a long-term worker would be paid per month, and how much a short-term worker would be paid per day.
"The big families in our village don't lack long-term workers at the moment. As for short-term workers, they are usually hired during the busy farming season."
So don’t think about finding any work in the village, there is no job that can make money in the village.
It was a rare opportunity to learn from Yu Jin about what kind of work there was in this world, so Yu Li stayed at Yu's house for most of the day and chatted with several sisters to get some information.
The original owner used to just work hard and didn’t know as much as Yu Jin.
-
At noon, the Yu family came back from the fields and saw Yu Li was there. Everyone looked unhappy.
Especially the three brothers Yu Jingzhong from the third room, they were like mice encountering a cat, they wanted to hide far away for fear of being caught by her and forced to chop wood and clean the pigpen.
Chopping wood was fine, but they had never done the job of cleaning the pigpen before, and the smell made them want to vomit.
Old Mrs. Yu's lips trembled and she asked, "Why are you here?"
"I came back to see you." Yu Li said calmly, then thought of something and said, "Grandma, how are you preparing my dowry? When will you give it to me?"
As for the dowry, since others have it, she should have it too.
Old Mrs. Yu’s face froze.
Not only her, but also Mr. Yu and others looked unhappy.
In their view, the twenty taels of betrothal money given by the Fu family had long been the property of the Yu family. There was no reason for her to take it away, let alone buy her any dowry.
When Yu Li saw the expressions of these people, she knew that they had never thought of giving her a dowry.
She didn't say anything, turned and went into the main room, and said to the Yu family: "Okay, let's finish the meal first."
Yu family: "..."
So, if you don't give me a dowry, I will stay at my parents' house and eat for free, and make them poor?
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this.
Old Mrs. Yu was so angry that she almost fell over. She turned around and glared at Mr. Yu and his wife.
They couldn't do anything to Yu Li, so they could only vent their anger on Yu Laoer and his wife, who were bad at educating their daughter.
Yu Lao Er and Liu Shi tried hard to force a smile and apologize, but stood there like wooden sticks, without even a word of comfort, let alone any attempt to teach the unfilial daughter a lesson to vent their anger or anything like that. Seeing this, Old Madam Yu felt so choked up that she became even more choked.
During this meal, except for the people from the second house, everyone else felt like the food was stuck in their throat. Even though they were very hungry, they had no appetite. Even Yu Jingyi, who usually had trouble eating, sat obediently beside his parents and ate bean porridge, not daring to make trouble.
The Yu family’s meal today was no different from usual, except for the fact that there were a few more salted duck eggs.
The salted duck eggs are homemade. When cut in half, the yolk is oily and looks tempting.
Yu Li stuffed half a salted duck egg into the hands of each of his three younger sisters and Yu Laoer and his wife, leaving only two salted duck eggs.
Others dared to be angry but not to speak out.
He wanted to get angry, but when he saw out of the corner of his eye that a pillar in the main hall was missing, his temper waned again.
The main house would not collapse if one pillar was missing, but the missing pillar reminded them all the time how it broke. That scene was deeply imprinted in their hearts.
After lunch, everyone went to have a rest. They were exhausted after working for most of the day and needed to take a break at noon, otherwise they would not have the energy to work in the afternoon.
Yu Li followed Old Madam Yu and Old Man Yu to the main house.
Seeing this scene, Yu Laosan and his wife looked at each other. Although they really wanted to know how Yu Li would ask for a dowry and whether the old lady and the others would give it, they didn't dare to do so for fear of becoming innocent victims.
-
When she saw her come in, Mrs. Yu's scalp almost exploded.
Old Master Yu also looked at her warily. He knew that his granddaughter was now acting arrogantly and shamelessly, and she was very strong and could do anything. How could he dare not confront her head-on?
"What are you going to do?" asked Old Mrs. Yu in a timid tone.
Yu Li looked calm and good-tempered, "Grandma, have you prepared my dowry?"
Old Lady Yu's lips moved, and she wanted to say, "How can a married woman go back to her parents' home to ask for a dowry? How shameless!"
But she also knew that she couldn't say this, because if she did, her granddaughter might go crazy again and she didn't know what she would do.
Yu Li looked at the silent old couple. She was not in a hurry. She sat down on an old, paint-chipped armchair in the room, leaned against the back, and looked at them calmly.
It seemed as if she would stay here and not leave if they didn't give her a dowry today.
Although she didn't take any action, she refused to leave, staring at them with her eyes quietly, making the old couple extremely nervous.
If it were anyone else, they could just blast him out without hesitation, so there would be nothing to worry about.
But this can't be blasted out.
"Yu Li." Old Master Yu said, "Although you are a married woman, you are still a girl of our Yu family. We are your grandparents. If you force us like this...if this gets out, it will be bad for your reputation."
Old Madam Yu agreed, "Yes, Li Niang, aren't you afraid that your reputation will be ruined?"
How can a person not care about his reputation when he is alive? Like Mrs. Yu, she also cared about her reputation when she was young. No matter how fierce she was, she would never do anything to disobey her elders.
Yu Li seemed a little puzzled, "I just want my own dowry, am I forcing you? If this gets out, everyone will understand, right?"
She is not stupid, so she naturally knows some of the rules of this world.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs. No matter how much trouble she makes in the Yu family, it is just the Yu family's family affairs. Outsiders are not here to meddle in other people's affairs after having eaten their fill.
Not to mention, the Yu family sold her first, and she came back to ask for a dowry. Even if this matter were to get out, at most people would just talk about it and no one would think she was guilty of a heinous crime.
As long as she doesn't do anything that violates the laws of this world, nothing else matters.
Mr. Yu certainly understood what she meant.
It seems that she is not stupid, and she is not ready to seek fame. Fame is sometimes really nothing in front of actual interests. What he said just now can only scare some ignorant village women and children. In fact, it is not painful or itchy. Anyone with a little bit of brains will not be scared.
After a long while, Mr. Yu seemed to have compromised and asked in a deep voice, "How much do you want?"
This really stumped Yu Li.
This was her first marriage in two lifetimes, so how could she know what her dowry would be?
Even so, she did not show it. She looked calm and said, "That depends on your sincerity. After all, I am the first granddaughter of the Yu family to get married. My dowry can't be too shabby, right?"
Old Madam Yu couldn't hold back her breath and cursed, "Don't even think about it..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Yu Li casually breaking off an armrest of the armchair and pinching it into pieces.
Looking at her relaxed expression, it seemed as if it was made of tofu.
Old Mrs. Yu was extremely frightened.
This armchair is an old item. It is placed in their main house and it also symbolizes the status of the main wife. It was made of good wood back then. Even though it is old, the quality of the wood is still very good. How can it be broken so easily?
She is threatening.
Mr. Yu's pupils trembled slightly, and his hand holding the pipe tightened.
He said, "We can give you the twenty taels of betrothal money from the Fu family as your dowry. What do you think?"
"What?" Mrs. Yu jumped up immediately. "Old man, this is for Jingde and Jingli to study. They will take part in the county exam next year, and we need to use it to prepare..."
Mr. Yu looked grim, and shouted, "Shut up!"
Old Mrs. Yu fell silent. When she saw his expression, she knew there was no way back. She covered her face and started crying. It was unclear whether she was crying for the twenty taels of silver or for something else.
Mr. Yu ignored her, stared at Yu Li sinisterly, and said, "Are you satisfied?"
Yu Li was very calm, without any smug look on his face, and nodded, "Okay."
Unexpectedly, she agreed shamelessly. Old Master Yu's face twitched and he said, "Old woman, give her the silver."
While crying, Old Mrs. Yu took out a black box from the cupboard. Her fingers were shaking so badly that she couldn't unlock the box for a long time.
After opening the lock, she turned her back to Yu Li, as if she was afraid that she would see something in the box.
Yu Li didn't care and continued to sit there, his posture indescribably casual, his eyes moving around the room.
This is the main house of the Yu family. It is the bedroom of Mr. Yu and his wife. It is the most spacious room in the Yu family. Although the furnishings in the house are old, they also represent their status.
The light in the room is dim. The old man sleeps very little and does not like the light to be too bright when sleeping. No matter day or night, he will keep the doors and windows closed. The room is filled with a peculiar smell of the old man, which is not very pleasant.
Yu Li looked around calmly and turned his gaze to the two old men.
Old Man Yu sat there gloomily, his brows furrowed. Old Mrs. Yu trembled as she took out twenty taels of silver from the box, including silver ingots and small change, which made up the total of twenty taels.
When she gave the twenty taels to Yu Li, her heart was bleeding, and she even grabbed the cloth wrapped in the silver and refused to let go.
Yu Li calmly pulled it over, stuffed the silver into the sleeve pocket, and returned the cloth to her.
The sleeves are a little heavy, but that's okay.
She said to them politely, "Then don't disturb Grandpa and Grandma to rest. I will come back to see you when I have time."
Neither of them spoke. When she turned around, Mr. Yu's eyes were gloomy and cold, and even contained some hatred.
Yu Li saw it but didn't take it seriously.
He was just an old man. Even if he hated himself, what could he do? He was just mad with impotence.
After Yu Li left, Old Mrs. Yu choked up and began to cry loudly.
She sobbed and cried angrily, "Old man, how can you promise to give it to her? What about the county exams for Jingde and Jingli next year?"
It was precisely because her two grandsons were going to take part in the county examination next year and needed money to prepare for it that she wanted the twenty taels of betrothal money from the Fu family. She felt very distressed when she lost the twenty taels all of a sudden.
Of course, without these twenty taels, the Yu family is far from being short of money. It's just that scholars spend a lot of money, especially in the future there will be college examinations and provincial examinations, and maybe they will have to go to Beijing to take the imperial examinations in the future, all of which cost money.
Old Mrs. Yu just wanted to save more money for her two grandsons' education and didn't want to let them down.
Mr. Yu took a puff of his pipe in silence and said, "However you give her the money, you will let her pay it back in the future."
"What?" Old Mrs. Yu looked up at him.
Old Master Yu said coldly: "Let her run rampant for now, and we'll deal with her when the boss comes back."
Old Mrs. Yu paused in her crying, and finally felt less sad when she thought of her capable eldest son.
In her eyes, the twenty taels already belonged to their family, and if Yu Li took even a cent, she would be so upset that she would bleed. After hearing what the old man said, she began to look forward to her eldest son's return.
Unfortunately, this time the eldest son said that he would wait until the Chen family’s wedding was over before returning to the village. It would probably take some time, so he could only bear it.
Although Old Mrs. Yu was temporarily calmed down, she still felt very upset.
She ran out immediately, went to the west room and knocked on the door, calling out Yu Laoer and his wife, and then cursed at them.
"You two useless things can't even control your daughter. What parent is as cowardly as you? Look at the two of you, you are just useless pieces of shit. The maggots in the shit are more useful than you. Your whole life will be like this. When you die, you won't have a son to see you off. You can only be a lonely ghost. I can't starve you to death..."
The old lady's voice was so powerful that everyone in the Yu family could hear it.
The Yu Jin sisters stayed in the room and let the old lady scold them.
Over in the third house, after hearing the noise, Yu Lao San and Wang knew that Yu Li must have taken the dowry.
Otherwise, how could the old lady be so angry and take it out on Yu Laoer and his wife?
Wang really wanted to know how much Yu Li had taken away, but she didn't dare to ask, so she could only say bitterly: "I have never seen such a useless person in this world. Whether it is a son, daughter-in-law or a parent, it is useless to be so cowardly. There is nothing else to do."
She looked down on Yu Laoer and his wife from the bottom of her heart.
Yu Lao San was also very depressed. Although the old lady and her family favored the eldest wife, they would also have a share of the family things after the family was divided in the future. When Yu Li took them away, it was as if his own things were also taken away.
