Chapter 203: The World Is Cold
Time flies very fast, and in the blink of an eye, the New Year is almost over, and Liu Yunsheng also closed the shop and came back with a few little girls.
When they came back, it made the family a lot more lively, but within a few days, Liu Yunsheng was about to rush home again.
This time Liu Yunsheng came back, Liu Man'er didn't hide it from him, and told him everything that happened to the Ye family, only that he owed two thousand taels of silver, and his family background could not be the same as before, and it all depended on him whether he left or stayed.
Suddenly hearing Liu Man'er say this, Liu Yunsheng almost couldn't believe it, and his heart was also tumbling like boiling water, after a long time, his heart finally calmed down, and his complexion no longer changed, just looked at Liu Man'er, and said firmly:
"Sister, don't worry, the second brother is not the villain who climbs the power and wealth, the third sister, you owe money, but also for your mother-in-law to treat the disease, this is a filial piety, in the future, even if the second brother or our mother is sick, the second brother believes that you will not stand idly by. Therefore, this difficulty, the second brother will accompany you to spend it, although the second brother is stupid, but as long as the third sister has instructions, the second brother will definitely help you do it. ”
"Thank you, second brother." Hearing Liu Yunsheng's answer, Liu Man'er almost couldn't believe it, and for a while, she couldn't help but take two steps forward and threw herself into his arms.
Even her own brother-in-law Ye Qing can't be relied on, how can she expect her second brother to come to help her? After all, although he was named as the godson of the Fang family, he actually had nothing to do with the Ye family, however, he was willing to help her, which made her not moved.
After all, she just has all kinds of abilities, and if there is no one to help her, it will be all empty talk.
Seeing Liu Man'er's actions, Liu Yunsheng was also a little embarrassed, his face flushed, he reached out and rubbed Liu Man'er's hair, and said, "You stupid girl, how old are you, you are going to be a mother, why do you still love to be coquettish so much." ”
Liu Man'er twitched her nose, wiped her tears embarrassedly, and then let go of Liu Yunsheng, and said: "It's the second brother's actions that moved me too much, don't worry, I will not let you down, I not only have to pay off my debts, but also make a fortune, so that people who look down on me today can see!" ”
In the end, Liu Man'er's words were loud, hitting people's hearts like drumsticks, which lifted people's spirits, and couldn't help but believe it, Liu Yunsheng replied loudly: "The second brother believes in you, but the second brother helps you not because you are greedy for wealth in the future, just because you are my sister." ”
"Uh-huh." Liu Man'er nodded again and again, and said: "Don't tell your father and mother what happened in our family, don't let them worry, when you go home this time, you still take a piece of cloth, a load of rice and ten taels of silver back." ”
"Forget the money." Liu Yunsheng said: "I heard Cao'er say that you are writing a book and planning to open a teahouse, please tell the storyteller, this will also cost a lot of money at that time, and my father and mother don't need any silver in the mountains, so I will give her two taels is enough." ”
Liu Man'er heard Liu Yunsheng's words, thought for a moment, and said: "Okay, it's just that if your father and mother ask about it at that time, you must not be able to tell the truth, because the people of the Tao family came to make trouble last time, and now the people in the village know that I owe people money, although my father and mother are in the mountains, they may not know about it, anyway, when the time comes, second brother, you will be improvised, don't let them worry about my affairs." ”
"I see." Liu Yunsheng nodded and said, "Third sister, don't worry, I will deal with these things." ”
"That's good, I have a big belly, and I can't go back to see it this year, and the things at home will bother the second brother." Liu Man'er saluted with Liu Yunsheng, Liu Yunsheng hurriedly helped her, and said: "The family doesn't talk to each other, sister, you are like this, I will be angry." ”
Liu Man'er didn't say much more, but silently kept this matter in her heart.
Liu Yunsheng came back and helped Liu Man'er's family take care of everything, bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new according to the customs of the township, helping to clean up inside and out, washing stools, wiping tables, and so on.
This year, Liu Fusheng stayed in the Ye family for the New Year, after all, he is now registered in the Ye family, and it is not too good to go home often for the New Year, and now Liu Guisheng has married a daughter-in-law again, if he goes back for the New Year, it will make people think that the Ye family does not want him anymore and wants to drive him back.
He is also a male baby, and going home will also increase some of the burden on the family, which may cause dissatisfaction among the new sister-in-law. What's more, the Ye family is now left with Ye Feng and a man at home, with Liu Fusheng here, the family is really lively, he and Ye Feng study together, and they can test each other's knowledge.
Too many things have happened this year, and the New Year is also a little bleak, in the past two years, Ye Yuan's two aunts will come over early to leave the New Year, but there is no shadow this year.
On the first day of the first lunar month, the family set off firecrackers and ate some melons and fruits, just waiting for someone to come to the door to pay New Year's greetings, but it seemed that they knew what happened to the Ye family, for fear of getting their bad luck, and there were fewer people who came to visit the New Year this year, except for the two sons of Aunt Chunhua who came to pay their respects to the New Year, and some people who had worked in Liu Man'er's small workshop congratulated them at the door, and the others almost avoided it.
What Liu Man'er didn't expect was that the eldest son's son actually came to pay New Year's greetings and sat at home for a while, which made Liu Man'er a little surprised.
Fang's greeting him warmly, compared to last year, the Ye family's liveliness, this year is too cold, obviously Liu Man'er saved the entire village in the first half of this year, but this has not been half a year, everyone seems to have forgotten her kindness, and they haven't come to worship for even a year.
Obviously, when Ye Yuan was at home before, countless people came to congratulate him, but in the blink of an eye, the house was deserted inside and outside.
On the second day of the first lunar month, it stands to reason that Liu Man'er's two aunts will come to visit the New Year, they used to be very diligent, but this year, they should have also gotten the news that Liu Man'er borrowed usury, but no one dared to come to the door, and they couldn't wait to clear up the relationship with Liu Man'er's family, for fear that the landlord would find them at that time.
Sure enough, the world is thin and people are evil, and in this situation, Liu Man'er can't help but sigh that the world is cold.
Of course, the most uncomfortable thing is the Fang family, she has been on pins and needles this year, always wanting to go to the door to see if any relatives will come to pay New Year's greetings, and she was the same yesterday, so that Liu Man'er looked at it in every way.
In the future, she will definitely let the people who flatter her family continue!
"Mother, don't look at it, they won't come if they don't come, this time is the time to test people's hearts, who remembers the old love, is good to our family, who is just greedy for our family's money and power, at this time, just see it clearly." Liu Man'er persuaded on the side, "It's a cold day, don't look at it, let's go back to the barbecue, don't blow the wind and catch a cold." ”
"Okay, I'll stop watching, I'll go back." Seeing Liu Man'er coming over to call her, Fang Shi turned around sadly and walked back, and after walking a short distance, Fang Shi suddenly heard the sound coming from this side, she stopped and said, "Ah, it should be a visitor." ”
ran back to the door, but saw Ye Qing driving a horse and stopping at the door of the house.
The four eyes were facing each other, and the two were speechless.
"Ye Qing, could it be that you have changed your mind?" Fang Shi hardened his heart and said coldly, she had a resolute expression on her face, but she silently thought in her heart: as long as he really changed his mind, he could still not blame the past.
"When I go back to my parents' house on the second day of the first month, the child is here to pay you New Year's greetings." Ye Qing replied.
"Get out!" Hearing this, Fang Shi scolded angrily, no longer holding out hope, she walked to the door, simply squeaked, and closed the door.
"Mother, are you really so unsympathetic?" Fang's movement to close the door was stopped, and a hand reached over.
"It's you who are ruthless and unrighteous." Fang closed his eyes and slammed the door shut.
Ye Qing's hand was pressed, and he quickly stretched out his hand back in pain, but his hand was still a little painful, seeing this situation, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and said: "Okay, mother, you are very good, why don't you all understand my hard work?" Since you're so obsessed, then I'll go back. ”
"Am I obsessed, or are you obsessed?" Fang scolded her, but the outsiders didn't listen to her much, and drove the carriage away.
Fang Shi leaned weakly on the door, one by one, why did they have to cut her heart like this.
"Mother, don't be sad." Liu Man'er walked over and said, "When I give birth to a child, let's leave here temporarily, will we be okay in the county town?" ”
"To the county?" Fang Clan was really distracted by Liu Man'er's words.
"Yes, the county town is so big, there must be a lot of opportunities to make money, the daughter-in-law will definitely work hard to make money, and when the accounts are paid off, we will make money, these dog-eyed people may come to the door to wagging their tails and beg for mercy!" Liu Man'er was also a little annoyed, and what she said at the moment was also a little ugly.
"We'll talk about it then." Fang stood up and walked towards the house.
Liu Man'er closed the door tightly and latched the door latch, no one will come today anyway, and it is estimated that no one will come again this year.
In fact, Liu Man'er rarely interacts with people in the village on weekdays, and she doesn't like Ye Yuan's two aunts very much, so it doesn't matter to her whether they come or not.
It's just that after all, this is the New Year, listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, laughter, and his family closed the door, which is indeed a little miserable.
This is the third year that Liu Man'er has been here, this year, it is different from previous years, this year, it can be regarded as a big ups and downs, great sorrows and joys, after this year, it seems that all people have grown a lot.
The sixth day of the first year of this year is the beginning of spring, after the beginning of spring, Liu Man'er gave the only few acres of land in the family to Aunt Chunhua's family to cultivate, and entrusted the family to Aunt Han, asking her to help take care of these poultry, take care of the flowers and plants in the yard, and she herself took Fang and others to the county seat.
She plans to live in the county seat for a period of time, and after she gives birth to a child and is confined, she will go to the county seat to develop.
But before that, she first asked Han Shixin to inquire and find a suitable place to make a teahouse, she planned to open a teahouse in the county seat first, and when she went to the county seat, if the development went well, the money in her hand would be almost accumulated.
Now that time is pressing, she has no extra time to waste, she must race against time.
