It's just a catastrophe from the sky, on a business trip, Xiao Lai's father died under the mountain bandits' axe, and her father was a widower, she was unrelated at a young age, and Zhou's father saw that she was really pitiful, so he wanted to take her as a righteous daughter to take care of.

Of course, the deeper meaning is that his son grew up with Xiao Lai, and the relationship is harmonious and friendly, and he also has a layer of thoughts to be a daughter-in-law to raise.

It's just that Zhou's father has such an idea, and so does the Locke family, at that time, Xiao Lai's father's family's property was not small, if Xiao Lai could live in the Luo family, those good land foundations could also slowly find ways to turn it into their own use.

At that time, Xiao Lai was too young, only thirteen years old, and there was no one behind her to make up her mind, which was the age of hesitation.

Luo Yunbai is two years older than her, because the family has the support of a thousand taels of money, and there is some spare money in his hand, he will make some little girls happy on weekdays, and he will be well-behaved and coaxing, and at the age of fifteen, he has a handsome and sweet facial features, buys some gadgets from his daughter's family, tells a few small jokes and stories, and laughs at the little girl who is immersed in sadness and helplessness.

The result is naturally self-evident, the Zhou family is only a helper attached to the Luo family, and the status between the two is high, Zhou Shishen is the oldest of the three, his temperament is old-fashioned, his mouth is also stupid, and he has everything on his mind when he was a child.

It is called raising.

But the Luo family did not have the same thoughts and plans as the Zhou family, and recognized Xiao Lai as their goddaughter, and over time, Xiao Lai's identity inevitably became a little embarrassing, and everyone subconsciously marked a mark in their hearts: Luo Yunbai's child daughter-in-law.

The daughter of a tea merchant became a child daughter-in-law of someone else's family.

Xiao Lai has been reading and reading with his father since he was a child, and he is not illiterate in big words, although he is young, he also knows the defense of men and women.

can not bear the eyes and prejudices of secular people, she lives in the Luo family all the year round, and naturally Luo Yunbai thinks that her food and clothing are all from the Luo family, and it is not too much to ask for something from her.

If you resist, you are ungrateful, and you do not know the general situation.

On the day she was forced, it was Luo Yun who touched his nose during the day at Shi Yaoyao, drank some wine in a depressed mood, and vented his anger on Xiao Lai by getting drunk.

Luo's father and Luo's mother, who are parents, feel that this matter is a little inappropriate, but they basically grew up with Luo Yunbai's son in the palm of their hands, where can they bear to stop scolding.

Xindao said that it was only a matter of time before he would bring Xiao Lai into the room, his son was a scholar, and he would be a big official in the future, and it was too normal for him to have three wives and four concubines, so he would turn a blind eye.

Who would have thought that just such a drunken nonsense would make Xiao Lai start the days when life was worse than death.

Men, are things that are too easy to get their hands on, and they don't cherish them too much.

The same is true for Xiao Lai.

But whenever he was angry outside, in the teacher of the eldest lady of medicine, he would vent all his sullen anger on her, and the groceries of the house were also handed over to her, and he had already regarded her as his vassal, and felt that a woman should take care of these household affairs for him, and he did not realize that he had never fulfilled his due responsibility.

Even if Xiao Lai was unexpectedly pregnant, he just took some of the family's money in exchange for two doses of fetal slippery pills for her, and the herbs were even boiled out by herself and drunk by herself.

Who would have thought that at that time, she would have such a disheartened heart to boil that bowl of soup and medicine.

The sweetness and affection of childhood are like the moon in the water and the flowers in the fog, which seem to be beautiful, but hazy and illusory.

Luo Yun revolves around the teacher day after day, but whenever she says one he will never say two, if she says on a whim that she likes the way of pharmacology, he will go to buy expensive medical scriptures, study and study, thinking that it is good to show his medical knowledge and ability in front of her.

Who would have thought that his learning speed was far less than the three quarters of an hour of enthusiasm of this eldest lady, and a few days ago he was obsessed with pharmacology, and after a few days, he became interested in poetry and songs, saying that he would marry a champion in the future.

Luo Yunbai's interest in learning is also similar to that of this eldest lady, and he decisively gave up medicine and followed literature.

As a result, a few days later, the eldest lady said that the literati and ink writers could not afford to provoke the big beam, and they should establish the country by force.

As a result, Luo Yunbai went around all day long, either spending a huge amount of money to buy a collection of treasures and books, or sending people to tailor gorgeous swords, and spent money to go to the martial arts hall to learn art.

After coming and going, there was not much money left in the family, and even the few acres of fertile land obtained from the Xiao Lai family, Baitan Zhen Tea was sold at a low price to cater to the preferences of the eldest lady of the county family.

For a long time, he has become a half-hung person who has everything but is not good at everything, accomplishing nothing, exhausting the whole family, and not winning the heart of the eldest lady.

Even the pharmacy that Luo's father bought for him in the early years was not taken care of, and his business became increasingly cold, but he owed a lot of foreign debts.

In the end, it was the Zhou family who paid off his foreign debts for him, and the owner of the pharmacy belonged to the Zhou family, after all, Zhou's father watched Luo Yunbai grow up, and when he saw that he had nothing to do all day, he couldn't bear it, so he hung up the name of a young owner to him, hoping that he could settle down to help take care of the pharmacy business, and ten taels of silver per month was definitely higher than that of ordinary workers.

Who would have thought that this kid would just take money and not do anything, and continue to be a moth with peace of mind.

Zhou Shishen knew that Xiao Lai was having a hard time, and he had quietly helped her, but he was accidentally discovered by Luo Yunbai, and said angrily that he intended to infect his woman, and picked up a broom and beat him all over his body.

The furious Zhou Shishen was not easy to provoke, and immediately roared and asked: "This is your woman?" But you admit it yourself! If you have the ability, you will carry her in a sedan chair

Marry back?!"

Luo Yunbai gave up at this time, and later turned a blind eye to Zhou Shishen's help, but Xiao Lai refused to accept it, her own body was already dirty and had no future, and she would never drag Zhou Shishen down anymore, he was not married, he was young and sensible and took care of his family, and many girls in the town had a good impression of him.

She is different, if Luo Yunbai doesn't want her, she has no place.

But Zhou Shishen is different, he doesn't worry about marriage, and he must not be notorious by himself.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, she is numb to survive, until today, but someone warms her hands and stands up for her to say a fair word, the backlog of impulses for many years makes her red-eyed and confused.

When Luo Qingyi said that he would take her to the town, she agreed without hesitation.

But now, when she saw him, the cowardice, humility, and fear in her heart, all kinds of negative emotions flooded her heart like a tide, which made her feel remorseful, and she should not be so impulsive.

Zhou Shishen carefully cut the mutton, sprinkled it with chili noodles and dipping sauce, and placed it in front of her one by one, but he didn't dare to sit down, so he stood aside and said: "The girl turned out to be Luo Yunbai's sister, but I have never heard of him having another sister." He scratched his head in embarrassment.

Seeing that the girl was not moving, Luo Qingyi put the mutton pieces into her bowl and said softly: "Eat, don't be in a hurry to leave." ”

The little girl who was as careful as dust heard the meaning of this sentence clearly, and she was not in a hurry to leave, not in a hurry to go back.

Where, it's not the way back, what she should be in a hurry to do is not the way back.

The little girl looked at her with a stunned face, bit her lip and said, "But sister, why are you helping me, isn't he your younger brother?"

Luo Qingyi didn't answer her words, but just made a cup of tea for Mu Zi, who was sitting quietly and well-behaved, which had the effect of soothing the fetus and nourishing the spirits.

After pushing the hot tea in her hand, she looked at the girl and said calmly: "In the choice of life, no one can help you, life is short, be kind to yourself, blindly tolerate and retreat, will only make people feel that you are weak and bullied." ”

"But I'm ...... It's already like this, I'm penniless, and even this body is so cheap, how should I not tolerate it and not back down. ”

Zhou Shishen hurriedly said: "No, Xiao Lai is the best girl in the world, I ...... The most worthy treasure in my heart is that bastard who has eyes and doesn't know the pearl, it's him!"

Luo Qingyi said lightly: "Although there is nothing to be done, I still pity the lonely man, but my bones are as clear as autumn water, and I am proud of the prince in the end." ”

"Xiao Lai, you don't owe the Locke family, it is the Locke family who owes you, it shouldn't be that you bow your head again, but you should live more beautifully, even if in the end, it's not like raising your eyebrows, but you should be holding your head high in front of them. ”
