Chapter I
Before the rooster crowed, Lin Zhiyun was called by her eldest aunt Wang and asked her to make her cousin Lin Xiuyue's wedding dress. Lin Zhiyun had only slept for more than two hours, and her eyes couldn't be opened at this time, and she embroidered Xianyun Wild Crane on her wedding dress in a half-dream, and when she woke up and wanted to dismantle it, it was too late, because the Wang family had already seen it.
"Okay, you Lin Zhiyun, what does it mean to embroider this on Yue'er's wedding dress? Wings stiff and want to fly? I don't want to think about who has raised you for so many years? Wang's fingers poked Lin Zhiyun's forehead hard, "If you don't work all day long and eat for nothing, even your mother doesn't want you anymore, you don't know how to be grateful, you are really a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised." β
Lin Zhiyun didn't react, since her father passed away, her mother was forced to remarry by her mother's family, and then she was adopted by her uncle's family "kindly", and then lived like this every day, and she would resist at first, but after three days without food, Lin Zhiyun's previous squeamishness was all shattered, and she could only swallow her anger if she wanted to live.
It's been almost five years now, and she's going to get married in half a month, so she can get rid of this family then, right?
Because the day of marriage is getting closer and closer, Lin Zhiyun's mood is getting better and better, so he doesn't care about Wang's words at all. At the moment, she was only surprised that she could embroider with her eyes closed, and the embroidery was no worse than usual.
Seeing that she didn't care, Wang was even more angry, and when she just took out the rattan and was about to hit someone, Lin Xiuyue, who was crying and her eyes were swollen, came out.
"I won't wear that wedding dress anyway, let her embroider whatever she likes." Lin Xiuyue said angrily, "The one surnamed Shen is an idle gangster, does A-Niang really want me to marry this kind of person?" He was lame in a fight recently, and I'd rather die than get married! β
"Oh my good daughter, what are you talking about?" Wang hurriedly threw away the rattan and hugged Lin Xiuyue to the house, "Since this family affair has been decided, then you must marry him, didn't you like him very much in the past?" β
Lin Xiuyue cried: "He used to have money in his family, and he looked good, so I was naturally happy." But now he is a shabby, and his leg is lame, where is he still worthy of me? β
After the Wang family closed all the doors and windows tightly, he pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed and said, "Who said that you are going to marry that little gangster of the Shen family?" My daughter naturally wants to be Mrs. Xiucai, maybe she can become Mrs. Juren in two years. β
Lin Xiuyue was stunned: "When did my mother find me a showman?" β
She remembered that there was only one Xu Xiucai in these ten miles and eight villages, and she was still Lin Zhiyun's fiancΓ©. In the past, she couldn't look down on the poverty of the Xu family, but how did she know that later the Shen family fell, and her fiancΓ© Shen Junchuan had no money to go to the academy, but the poor scholar of the Xu family was admitted to Xiucai.
"Isn't it Xu Xiucai? Haven't you always liked him? Wang said with a smile, "In the past, Lin Zhiyun's dead girl was able to marry Xu Xiucai, all because your second uncle spent money for him to study." But your second uncle has been dead for almost five years, and now that he has been admitted to Xiucai, where can he still look down on that helpless dead girl? β
Lin Xiuyue was a little embarrassed, she liked Xu Xiucai a lot, but that was when she became a Xiucai and she started to like it, and she sent a lot of things over, and Xu Xiucai accepted it. Lin Xiuyue thought that since people were willing to accept it, it might be interesting to her.
She was so happy to hear Wang's words, but she still pretended to be surprised: "Does Xu Xiucai want to regret her marriage?" β
"Xu Xiucai doesn't want to break the contract, but the marriage is a big event, and the words of the matchmaker are the orders of his parents, as long as his mother Tu wants to change a daughter-in-law, it is enough." Wang took Lin Xiuyue's hand and said, "Hao Yue'er, you and our Xing'er are the two most outstanding girls in the village, they can spin, weave, embroider, and embroider, and his mother is the most satisfied with you." I have already told my future mother-in-law that in seven days, we will find a way to stuff Lin Zhiyun into the Shen family's sedan chair, and then marry you to Xu Xiucai. Speaking of which, this idea was still thought up by Tu Shi, so Xu Xiucai also acquiesced. β
Lin Xiuyue was a little weak-hearted: "I will only embroider some simple patterns, those that are sent to the Xu family on weekdays are all made by that wild girl, what should I do if I am exposed in the future?" β
"What's the matter? My daughter will be an official's wife in the future, not a tailor, so where can she do it herself? Wang thought for a while and said, "By the way, that Tu said that her son doesn't have much friendship with Lin Zhiyun, but you know that your second uncle left a lot of books and a loom for her as a dowry before he died, and what Xu Xiucai really wanted was actually those books." β
Lin Xiuyue hurriedly said: "Then let's bring those books over, anyway, that wild girl is weak, and she can only be obediently at our mercy." β
Lin Zhiyun was born with sensitive ears, although he didn't deliberately eavesdrop, but he also listened to the conversation between Wang's mother and daughter, and only felt cold all over. I think that after Xu Bowen's father died of illness, it was her father who married Xu Bowen for the sake of her classmates, and justifiably posted money for Xu Bowen to study. Although her father is also short-lived, but he has also provided Xu Bowen for five years, so Tu is not only not grateful at all, but also has such a poisonous plan against himself? With such a family, even if she marries, she is afraid that she will have to suffer for a lifetime.
No, she couldn't let these people's ideas succeed, she probably didn't have much freedom in marriage, but she had to keep the books anyway. Thinking of this, Lin Zhiyun took out a cloth bag from the loom and left the Lin family in a hurry.
It's just that not long after running out of the Lin family, she was at a loss, she had been locked in the Wang family for most of the years to embroider and weave at home, and she didn't know anyone outside at all, who should she go to help her?
