Chapter 244 Uprooting the Weeping Willow
From now on.
Jiang Yunjin could no longer face Lu Yanshu or Xu.
At that time, Xu had no daughter.
She treated Jiang Yunjin, who had been engaged since childhood, as half a daughter.
If there was anything good, he would send it to them without hesitation, and it hurt to the bone.
Ever since Lu Yanshu got into trouble, the smile on Xu's face disappeared.
When I saw her, I was just polite and distant.
Jiang Yunjin lay on the bed, tears streaming down her eyes.
"I was just too scared. I was afraid that he would die because of me and I couldn't bear the responsibility..." She couldn't explain what she was thinking at the time, she just knew...
He couldn't let anyone find out that he was the one who caused Lu Yanshu to drown.
Jiang Yunjin tightly grasped the broken jade pendant in his hand.
The Xu family valued her and were willing to support her, so she really had a great time during those years.
And what about Pei?
Before they got married, they seemed as close as mother and daughter.
On the wedding day, I was already thinking about her dowry.
Let’s not talk about Jiang Yunjin’s regret.
At this moment, Xu was quite emotional.
"I never thought that she would come after you. I thought she would never appear in front of you in her life." Xu sighed.
"She is your fiancée. I have no objection if you save her."
"But because of her selfishness, she didn't want to call for help after being rescued, which caused you to drown for too long. I felt resentful in my heart..." How could I not feel resentful?
"But then I thought, she's just a little girl, ignorant and timid. She must have been frightened..."
"But I couldn't imagine... that she would become like this later." Xu's eyes were red.
"It was clearly a life-saving favor, how did it become a grudge?"
"Because she can't repay the favor..." Lu Chaochao replied while braiding Zhuifeng's hair.
[Besides, how can she be considered timid? That’s selfish…】
[When strangers fall into the water, they will shout for help. 】
[And her eldest brother, who was drowning in order to save her, was afraid of being reprimanded, so she hid away to evade responsibility. She is just selfish! 】
Lu Chaozhao complained in his heart without any hesitation.
Mrs. Xu wiped her tears and said, "Yanshu's marriage has been delayed. Now that he is getting older, he should take a closer look at each other."
"We are not destined to be with Miss Jiang." Xu whispered.
"Mother, she is unlucky."
"Yes, yes, yes, what Chao Chao said was right. She is just unlucky..." Mrs. Xu burst into laughter.
Those years were truly her nightmare.
She had nightmares every night, dreaming that Yanshu drowned.
She woke up from her dreams crying countless times, stumbled to her eldest son's room, and only felt relieved when she felt his breath.
She was very afraid that her eldest son would not be able to bear the pressure and would commit suicide.
She has been under tremendous pressure over the years.
Fortunately, there is Chao Chao.
"After Chaoyang Festival, big brother will show his results..." Lu Chaochao's face was full of anticipation.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lu Yanshu's lips.
"Okay, you guys go and have a rest first. Mother still has to prepare things for tomorrow's Chaoyang Festival." Xu smiled.
Chaoyang Festival is an orthodox festival to worship gods.
The family started slaughtering pigs and sheep early in the morning to prepare snacks, and the maids and servants folded gold ingots to use for offering sacrifices to the gods tomorrow.
Xu personally molded the dim sum, pressed out the patterns and arranged them neatly.
"Mom, give me a bite..." Lu Chaochao spread out his little hands.
Xu shook her head: "That won't work. You have to worship the gods before you can eat it. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the gods."
"The Chaoyang Festival is said to be the birthday of a certain god, who is said to be the teacher of all gods in heaven. Of course, it's just a rumor. How can we mortals know about the affairs of gods?"
"Go get some rest. Staying up late won't help you grow taller."
Lu Chaochao sniffed, and there was a sweet fragrance in the air.
Left reluctantly.
The little guy was lying on the bed, and she raised the corners of her lips and smiled.
"So, everyone still celebrates my birthday..."
The little guy was so happy.
at night.
Zhou Shuyao dismounted quietly and walked into the mansion.
"Is my mother asleep?" she asked the maid in a low voice.
The little maid at the door lowered her head and dared not say a word.
"Can I still eat you?"
"How can a girl be so naughty?"
"Can you please behave yourself? You beat up Jiang Yunjin and her mother back then, and became famous overnight. Now it's even difficult for you to get married. And now... you're still visiting Suyun Pavilion!!" Rong Zhenzhen was so angry that her eyes turned red.
She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. Her eldest son is married and has grandchildren.
And my daughter has never been married.
Lord Zhou is her father-in-law.
When Lu Chaochao went to collect debts, the first person she asked was her father-in-law.
Zhou Shuyao smiled flatteringly: "Mom, I won't go shopping anymore. I swear, I will never go shopping again in my life."
But forget it, Suyun Restaurant has changed to selling duck.
What else is she going to do?
Madam Rong sighed: "The moon is bright, the people are beautiful, Shu Yao is in a good mood, and my heart is quiet. Shu Yao, I wish you to be gentle and beautiful. How can it be the opposite of what I want?"
"Look at the other girls, their faces are like lotus flowers emerging from the water, their waists are like willows swaying in the wind... then look at you..."
Zhou Shuyao glanced at herself and said, "I'm doing fine. I look full of vitality."
"Besides..."
"Mom, you underestimate me. I have nothing to do with the weak willow and the wind, but I am also related to the willow, right?"
Madam Rong looked at her unhappily: "What are you talking about?"
"I can uproot a weeping willow tree, so that counts as a willow, right?"
Madam Rong was so angry that she fell backwards and pointed at her for a long time without being able to speak.
He sneered and said, "Other girls love to bury flowers, what do you love?"
Zhou Shuyao pursed her lips and looked at her mother cautiously: "Mom, beating out someone's brains is also considered a flower, right?"
"I am also quite good at destroying flowers..."
"Ouch……"
"Mom, just talk, why are you hitting me?!" Zhou Shuyao covered her arm with her hands, her face grim.
Why is my mother twisting people?
Madam Rong pointed at her, extremely angry.
"You and your cousin are truly a perfect match." Mrs. Rong's head was buzzing.
"With whom? He's in his thirties and I'm only seventeen. What do you mean we're a perfect match? Besides, he doesn't meet my standards. I like good-looking guys!!"
"Mom, please don't insult me."
"The bloodline of our Rong family is not smart to begin with, and if I marry her back, wouldn't the child I give birth to be even dumber?"
"He made the right choice to find Yunniang to sublimate his bloodline. Everyone in her family is very smart."
Zhou Shuyao's look of disdain was evident in her words.
"What's the point of being good-looking? You need to be talented and have outstanding character!"
"Good looks can't be used to make a living!" Mrs. Rong was very disappointed.
Zhou Shuyao's face was full of disapproval.
"Mom, how can beauty not be eaten? Just looking at it can make me eat two more bowls of rice!" Back then, Jiang Yunjin despised Lu Yanshu for being a paraplegic...
She was actually crazy about it.
Regardless of his talent or education, regardless of whether he is paralyzed or not, with that face, she can support him for a hundred years.
You can quit going to Suyun Hall now.
Hey, she didn't dare to think about it now.
Rong Che wants to propose marriage to the Xu family, so she wants to marry Lu Yanshu...
Damn, she calls Rong Che her stepfather?
Being shorter than others for no reason! !
It's a bolt from the blue!
Madam Rong looked at her expressionlessly.
He turned around and was about to go out.
"It's evening now, where are you going?"
"I'm going to look for my eldest brother."
"He cut down trees, dug up ancestral graves, and filled ponds. Did that hinder your marriage?!"
It's over, her daughter can't get married.
