Chapter 65: The Truth Emerges
The mother and son depend on each other on weekdays, and although the life is as plain as water, it is still passable.
As Chu Shuangshuang grew up day by day, her mother found that her daughter actually liked to do business and was quite talented.
Although doing business in the Great Cloud Dynasty was worse than the lower ninth rate, she didn't want to kill her daughter's interest, but deliberately collected all kinds of books for her to read.
When Chu Shuangshuang was seventeen years old, her father Chu Baoshan unexpectedly received a matchmaker from the Lu Governor's Mansion to ask for marriage, wanting to marry his daughter and become his son's side room.
The merchant was the most disinterested in the Great Cloud Dynasty, and suddenly met the prefect who came to ask for marriage, which was a great joy that he couldn't ask for on weekdays.
Although Chu Baoshan knew that the prefect's son Lu Yi had a bad reputation, he immediately agreed to this family affair when he thought of all the benefits brought to the Chu family after marrying the prefect.
The matter soon reached the ears of Chu Shuangshuang and her mother.
Chu Shuangshuang's mother immediately ran to Chu Baoshan's side to plead, hoping not to marry Chu Shuangshuang to Lu Yifa.
Because everyone in Luoyang City knows that Lu Yi has a sexual affair, if his daughter really becomes his side room, he will not be happy in this life.
Chu Baoshan didn't treat his daughter very well, not to mention that now there is such a good thing, how can he miss it, not only refused, but even beat her, but due to the use of too much strength, Chu Shuangshuang's mother's brain accidentally knocked down the pillar next to her.
Chu Shuangshuang's mother died like this.
And Chu Shuangshuang saw all this with her own eyes at the door, and at this moment, she felt that her entire sky had collapsed.
She couldn't accept the reality in front of her, so she ran out of the Chu family's compound alone and came to Food First, which was the most familiar place for her besides home.
On weekdays, she often comes here secretly, with the money-oriented shopkeeper who puts food first, and asks a lot of knowledge about running a restaurant.
The money shopkeeper also likes Chu Shuangshuang very much, because this little girl learns things very quickly, not only can she teach, but even draw inferences from one another, and have many wonderful ideas, over time, the money shopkeeper converted the firewood room into a simple lounge, so that Chu Shuangshuang can come here to rest at any time.
This time, Chu Shuangshuang came to Food First, locked herself directly in the lounge, and locked the door.
This time Chu Baoshan was in a hurry, usually she had a temper tantrum, but now that her daughter is taken by the prefect's son, her value is different all of a sudden.
She must not be allowed to commit suicide, or everything will come to naught.
Therefore, Chu Baoshan immediately rushed to eat first, and said a lot of good things outside the lounge, the purpose was to stabilize Chu Shuangshuang.
But at this time, Chu Shuangshuang's oil and salt didn't enter, no matter what he said, he couldn't listen to anything, and once someone outside the house wanted to break in, Chu Shuangshuang would immediately commit suicide, so scared that everyone didn't dare to break in.
This lasted for two days, and Chu Baoshan's unintentional persuasion touched Chu Shuangshuang.
At that time, he said in tears that her mother's death was all his fault, but if Chu Shuangshuang really died on a hunger strike like this, is he worthy of his mother who sacrificed in order to fight for her happiness?
This sentence was heard by Chu Shuangshuang in her heart, and in the next day, her mind kept recalling all kinds of warm pictures of herself and her mother.
In the end, she decided that she must fight once, and she must not let her mother die in vain.
Chu Shuangshuang put forward the condition that she would earn 50,000 taels of silver in three years, and if she couldn't do this, then when she was twenty years old, she would willingly marry Lu Yifa and become his side room.
At this time, Shi Wei could only make a profit of a few thousand taels in the first year, but Chu Baoshan raised the amount of silver to 100,000 taels for the sake of insurance.
For this reason, he also attached a condition, if Chu Shuangshuang agreed, he would not only give her freedom at that time, but also support her to do what she wanted.
Chu Shuangshuang gritted her teeth and agreed.
Chu Baoshan saw that things had taken a turn for the better, and sent someone to Lu Governor's house to discuss, and after losing a large amount of silver as an apology fee, Lu Governor's Mansion agreed to let his son marry Chu Shuangshuang three years later.
At the age of seventeen, Chu Shuangshuang became the shopkeeper of food first.
・・・・
After listening to the whole story of the incident, Lin Xishui was stunned and poked there like half a piece of wood.
No wonder when I first saw this chick, I found that she hated men so much.
It turns out that this chick not only has a superb brother, but also a superb father, who has spent so many years under this double destruction, and the fact that she is not perverted in her heart already shows that she has a strong heart.
And she is still under pressure to change the small food first restaurant from one floor to three floors, and she can only be described by the word awesome!
Now after her own reform plan, coupled with the hot sales of three bowls, her goal of 100,000 taels of silver should have been achieved.
Thinking of this, Lin Xishui's heart suddenly moved.
Could it be that it was because her father, Chu Baoshan, knew that she had saved enough money, but in order for Chu Shuangshuang to marry Lu Yifa smoothly, he hired someone to kidnap her?
So his next plan is to snatch Chu Shuangshuang's earned silver?
With such an association, the true idea of the matter has quietly surfaced.
This matter is likely to be a kidnapping incident jointly by Chu Wentian and Lu Yifa, when the time comes, Lu Yifa can not only hold the beauty, but also Chu Wentian can get the silver, this plan to kill two birds with one stone, if he is a member of the Chu family, he will definitely do the same!
But he is now a victim, of course he is angry in his heart, and he says that tigers are poisonous and don't eat children, this damn Chu Baoshan not only killed his own woman for the sake of profit, but also forced his daughter to marry someone she didn't want to marry.
As the saying goes, what kind of Lao Tzu there is, what kind of son he has, looking at Chu Wentian's domineering appearance, you can see that Chu Baoshan is also a bastard.
After Chu Shuangshuang saw that she finished narrating, Lin Xishui kept her head down and said softly: "Lin Xishui, am I really an unfilial daughter?" ”
Lin Xishui didn't expect the other party to ask such a question, but after thinking about it, he immediately understood.
It is estimated that during these three years, Chu Wentian and the entourage around her, on the grounds of the three-year contract, said some unfilial words around her, which over time had a certain impact on her heart!
Lin Xishui said in a deep voice: "The shopkeeper, not every man can be called a father, foolish filial piety is not filial piety, you can persist until now, I really admire you!" ”
"Really, really?" Chu Shuangshuang's eyes were instantly moist.
"Of course it's true." Lin Xishui raised his voice and said: "We came to this world, not the continuation of our parents, but to live our true selves and pursue what we really want to pursue, even if we are broken in the process of pursuing, what if we are able to do it?" ”
Speaking of this, Lin Xishui laughed and said: "There is only one human life, don't let your life be full of regrets!" ”
Chu Shuangshuang's eyes were already full of tears, but at this moment, she couldn't control it anymore, and tears flowed down her white cheeks.
"That's a good thing this little brother said." A gruff and hoarse voice rang out from the nearby cell.
