"This will be your dowry. I discussed it with my friends today and want to arrange a marriage for you. He is the second son of the wealthy Dai family in Chengli, Jizhou. He is 19 years old and passed the imperial examination two years ago, so his marriage has been delayed. At the same time, the Dai family has the tradition of the eldest son inheriting the throne, so after you two get married, you can move out of the Dai family's ancestral home and live your life behind closed doors. You only need to go back to the ancestral home to visit your elders during the holidays.
I think it's a good idea. You're not suited to having a mother-in-law who's putting pressure on you, so it's perfect for you to step out after you get married. You can be the head of the household, but your mother hasn't taught you how to be a wife, and your father doesn't know either, so we'll have a nanny come back tomorrow to teach you. You've also seen how your sister Wang is doing at home. Even though she's pregnant, she's still managing the shop.
Although you won't be as busy as others, you still have to run your own family by yourself. What others say is just talk. Fortunately, the second boy of the Dai family has a good temper, but he is a little cunning. But that's okay, you and him can complement each other directly.
In the future, if you have any problems, you can listen to his opinions more. Your mother has not shown you much about the world, so Daddy will take you to visit some of his friends' homes in the next few months. Then you can see how their wives do things. "
Mr. Liu advised earnestly that this child had been spoiled by Cui Shunrong since childhood, so only the second boy of the Dai family was in the mood to teach him slowly.
Liu Ying knew that she was not smart, but she knew how to seek benefits and avoid harm, otherwise she would not have listened to her father later. This could be considered as a happy ending after all the hardships. When she heard that the person might be her future husband, her face turned red and she could only say in a weak voice that she understood.
"Dad...I understand."
When Mr. Liu saw Liu Ying's expression, he remembered that his daughter was a shy girl. He thought that although blind marriage was okay, it would not be happy after all. Now that he had met the boy from the Dai family and had spent some time with him, he could talk about the engagement.
But he still needs to get in touch with the person more to see what he is like before exchanging tokens. Otherwise, what if it is not suitable? Liu Ying's personality is really not suitable for that kind of male chauvinist. She is more suitable for that kind of gentle and elegant person, just like the couple Yu Xiuming and Wang Shiyu.
Yu Xiuming is in charge of outside affairs and will not bring his worries home. Even when he comes home, he is always as warm as a spring breeze. Wang Shiyu will not bring her troubles in the inner house to Yu Xiuming. Every time Yu Xiuming comes home, Wang Shiyu is cheerful. So he envies such love. No matter how difficult and uncomfortable other things are, he will always put aside his worries for the one he loves.
"Yingying, you should also bring me one of your tokens. Then you can exchange them with the Dai family. But don't mention it until this matter is finalized. I don't have any other intentions. I'm just worried that you and the boy from the Dai family might not be suitable. That's why I have to keep it a secret for now. You two children can get in touch.
That child is a scholar, so when I can return to Jizhou City, I will take him back, but it will be after I negotiate a divorce with you. The child can protect you from your mother. You have to know that your mother is confused. As long as she doesn't starve to death, it's enough. Your husband may continue to take exams in the future. You have to think about his reputation and your own future.
Which people are worthy of your true love and which ones are not? Daddy doesn't want you to go down the wrong path."
Liu Ying lowered her head to glance at the box on the table, the corners of her mouth twitched silently. This thing was placed in her room. Wasn't it that her mother was taking advantage of her? Her father would not easily enter her room. After all, she was grown up. If he was not curious, he would not take this thing out. After she was married to the Shao family in the future and her father divorced her because of this matter, would she be able to rely on this money and the shop to continue to live a prosperous life with her lover?
But maybe she, their daughter, didn't exist in their lives. After all, since she was born, her mother disliked her for not being a son, and even blamed her for ruining her body and preventing her from giving birth to sons anymore.
From the jewelry she brought with her, she found her favorite jade pendant, which was made by her father for her when she was just born. It was a small longevity jade lock with the word "Ying" engraved on it. This was the thing that best represented her identity and determination.
Mr. Liu looked at the longevity lock and understood Liu Ying's desperate mentality. Unfortunately, the child still didn't understand that even if they got married, her mother could still use her identity as his biological mother to forcefully move into his house. Then it would be a chaotic day. Fortunately, the boy from the Dai family was no pushover either.
Even when he talked about his mother-in-law, he was eager to see her. If Dai Chunhua hadn't slapped him, this kid would probably have run directly from Jizhou City to Jizhou City to have a good look. He also understood his friend's mood of wanting to throw this kid out. He was really a naughty kid, but not annoying.
"Since you've made up your mind, then keep your heart. Before I divorce your mother, I will first arrange a marriage for you. I will divorce you directly after you two get married. I can't let her mess up your marriage. So, starting tomorrow, you should go to the shop to study. The boy from the Dai family should come to see you."
After Mr. Liu finished speaking, he took the jade lock piece and left. Looking at the sunset, he felt that he could finally get rid of that woman. This time he caught her having an affair with another man, so he could just kick this person out of the house. As long as they got a divorce, his good days would finally be back. But it was really tiring.
Liu Ying was still looking at the box in front of her quietly, and soon her tears fell. She was really disappointed with her mother and would never be soft-hearted again. Maybe Liu Ying was not smart, but she was not a fool either. For so many years, Cui Shunrong had always treated her like a fool.
How could you put this thing in your daughter's room? If her father found out, she would be wrongly accused. Or are you just being fearless?
Liu Ying was really desperate. She silently packed up the things on the table, then washed up and went to bed. No one knew whether she fell asleep or not. The next morning, Mr. Liu took Liu Ying to the shop and arranged for someone to teach her how to manage the shop and learn to keep accounts. These are things that girls must know, but her mother... It's hard to put it into words.
After Liu Ying studied for the whole morning, a handsome young man came in at noon. He went into the store and looked at Liu Ying who was checking the accounts. He raised his eyebrows and thought she was interesting. Although her color was not very good, it was suitable for the family and fit the image of a good wife and mother in his imagination.
