Chapter 110

On the eighth day of September, many relatives came to the old house of Li’s family. Today is Li Yuxiang’s day, and close relatives of Li’s family, such as aunts and uncles, have come. Lu Yumin and Li Yuxiang have a good relationship, and the family returned early The old house of Li's family, the store was not open yet, and Li Wulin brought it back with him!
Lu Yumin was about to enter the tea room with the washed tea bowl, when she ran into Aunt Li's family at one end, and saw a tall, strong, dark man standing beside Zhu Xiu'er, who she guessed might be Zhu Xiu'er's new husband-in-law.

Lu Yumin immediately greeted her respectfully, "Hello aunt, cousins!"

When Aunt Li saw that it was her, her face immediately changed, and she said without a good look: "Hmm! So it's the third nephew's wife? I heard that you got rich and moved to the town? Last year you said you didn't have enough to eat, but this year you have Yin Zi bought such a big yard? You are really capable!"

Lu Yumin smiled and didn't answer her directly: "Auntie, cousins, please sit in the side hall. The aunts have already arrived, and the niece and daughter-in-law will bring tea right away!"

Ignoring the family any more, Lu Yumin turned back and went into the tea room. When a tray of tea was brewed and was about to enter the side hall, Wang Dafeng immediately came over to help: "Third siblings, I'll help you. I heard that my aunt's family It's here, I just saw that the second aunt and the others are here too, these people are the most annoying, I'll go in with you."

Lu Yumin smiled excitedly: "Second sister-in-law, I'm really impatient to deal with them! If I have you and me together, I will feel much better!"

Wang Dafeng said disdainfully: "Hmph, neither of these two aunts is good! They are always thinking about the things of their natal family, thinking about their natal family, for fear that they will be at a disadvantage! If they are elders, I don't bother to care about them." !"

Everyone was sitting around the side hall. As soon as Lu Yumin came in, Aunt Li rushed to the topic just now and fired: "Second sister, do you think our third nephew and daughter-in-law are capable? The whole family has moved to the town. I heard that they bought yards, bought land, and opened shops, but I don’t know how the money came so quickly?”

The aunts didn't know much about Lu Yumin's situation. After hearing what Aunt Li said, they all looked at her in surprise!

Second Aunt Li also followed her sister's words: "Yes! Eldest sister, I don't know if Sanlin deliberately called you poor before, but our nephew and daughter-in-law are really capable. Otherwise, how could we get so much money in just this year?" Woolen cloth?"

The eldest aunt also asked, "Third niece and daughter-in-law, is this true?"

When Wang Dafeng wanted to speak, Lu Yumin gave her a gentle tug, and then smiled back to her aunt: "Aunts and aunts, how can our husband and wife have this ability? They are all given by others!"

When the second aunt heard her evasion, she said disapprovingly: "It was given by someone else? Who has such a good intention? There will be no cakes in the sky, right? Does the third niece have any good ways to get rich and don't tell us?" , afraid that we will rob you of your money?"

Lu Yumin smiled and said calmly: "Second aunt just knows how to joke, is this a joke to make everyone happy? What good money can my third niece have? If I can really have a good way, how can I forget you guys The relatives I take care of!"

Aunt Li has always hated Lu Yumin because of Zhu Xiuer's affairs, so she said bitterly: "Then you say that this is neither that nor that, is it some kind of money from a wrong source? My Sanlin nephew will not be so worthless, right? I will use the money you get like this!"

Second Aunt Li immediately stepped forward: "I believe that Sanlin is not so worthless. Since you are so easy to get money, today your sister-in-law Jiping, what do you mean by being a sister-in-law?"

You really deserve to be sisters!Lu Yumin smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a piece of satin! The second sister saw it last time and said she liked it very much, so I brought it here as a gift!"

When Second Aunt Li heard that she was using satin to make a screen gift for a child, she might not be able to buy this piece of satin without two taels of silver, right?It seems that this niece and daughter-in-law's money is really not a legitimate source, otherwise how can there be such a generous person?This is probably the first copy in the countryside!
Aunt Li saw that Second Aunt Li didn't speak, so she deliberately asked: "The third nephew and daughter-in-law seem to be very wealthy, but I'm afraid that the money came from a wrong way! We really want to ask how the third nephew and daughter-in-law got rich!"

Wang Dafeng saw that her aunt's words were getting worse and worse, and she knew that Lu Yumin was a person who didn't like to show off. She had such rich relatives, and she had never let people spread the word, but she would not allow these relatives who didn't know their level to slander Lu Yumin , so he opened his mouth and changed the subject: "Auntie, that man just now is Xiu'er's cousin's husband, right? What a real man!"

Aunt Li saw that everyone was running on the three nieces and daughters-in-law just now, and the second niece and daughter-in-law made such an endless remark. Seeing that the expression on her daughter's face was not very good, she had to say for her: "Yes, Xiu I still don't thank my second cousin for her concern!"

Zhu Xiu'er pretended to be happy and said, "Thank you for your cousin's concern. It's just that Xiucai has only been married for a few months, and I haven't had time to come over to say hello to my cousin."

Wang Dafeng also had a happy expression for her: "I knew my cousin is a lucky one, this cousin's husband is really handsome."

Aunt Li immediately looked ugly: "Although she is a little older, it is better than being a concubine! Some people really thought that Xiu'er would not be able to marry. At that time, the third nephew and daughter-in-law were pushing left and right! But It's a good thing that she didn't get married, the third niece and daughter-in-law are so talented, if this Xiu'er gets married, she will really have no status!"

The second aunt Li saw that the eldest sister was very upset, so she brought the topic back: "Yes, we have all seen the ability of the third niece and daughter-in-law, so everyone is still waiting for her to talk about how she got the money Fast!"

What the sisters of the Li family said caused everyone to look at Lu Yumin who was serving tea with different eyes. Wang Dafeng secretly laughed at the two aunts who didn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth. Don't you really know?"

Aunt Li and Second Aunt Li said, "What do we know?"

Wang Dafeng said enviously: "The property of the third sibling was given by her sister-in-law!"

"My natal sister-in-law?" Second Aunt Li asked indifferently: "When did the third nephew's natal family have another sister-in-law? Isn't she Lu Xiucai's orphan?"

Wang Dafeng deliberately said mysteriously: "Second aunt, you don't understand, right? The third brother and sister's natal family has a cousin who gave her father a son since childhood, and now he is the magistrate of our county! Her sister-in-law is the eldest daughter of the prefect's family in Fucheng. , because I haven’t been able to communicate with each other for the past few years, and they didn’t know that my sister was married until they came back, and the two felt very sorry, so her sister-in-law bought these things, saying it was a dowry for younger siblings!”

"Ah!" The expression on Aunt Li and Aunt Li's face suddenly became very embarrassed. Just now they have been embarrassing this niece and daughter-in-law, so she has such a good relative?This is incredible!

The eldest aunt immediately turned embarrassing when she heard this: "Congratulations to my niece and daughter-in-law! It's such a happy event to be reunited with my brother and sister-in-law! With such a noble family, you are really conservative, niece and daughter-in-law. How many people know about it? Are you afraid that we will follow suit?"

Everyone also congratulated immediately, Lu Yumin smiled and said: "What's there to show off? My brother and my sister-in-law are very ordinary people, and they are not high-ranking officials, so it is not worth showing off everywhere!"

Wang Dafeng said again: "Third brothers and sisters, it's time to turn around! Her sister-in-law, she doesn't look like a sister-in-law to her, as if she is her own sister! The two of them went to the county not long ago, and Meili came back and said , her third aunt brought back a carriage of things! And the county magistrate came to the house in person!"

Everyone looked envious and said: "Huh? The county magistrate came to the door in person? You are really a lucky person!"

People are bullying and afraid of evil. I heard that Sanlin's daughter-in-law has such a noble relative, but no one dares to give her shame anymore. Lu Yumin still smiled: "Dear elders, please Drink slowly, my second sister-in-law and I are going down to get busy!"

Everyone immediately stood up and said respectfully: "You two sisters-in-law just go and go, we will have fun by ourselves."

When the sister-in-law and sister-in-law went out one after another, all the female relatives looked at each other in blank dismay. Will this niece and niece hate them in the future?The relatives who had been picking on Lu Yumin before all regretted it!
As long as Jiping, a girl in the countryside, has worshiped her ancestors, opened her face, and combed her hair, it is basically over. Just as lunch begins, suddenly a matchmaker Liu comes in from outside the gate with a smile on her face: "Congratulations to the eldest sister of the Li family. A glass of wine has been drunk!"

Mrs. Cui was sitting at the table with her relatives. When she saw Matchmaker Liu, she immediately asked politely, "Which gust of wind brought the old sister here? Come here, there is no good wine, old sister, please don't be disgusted!"

Matchmaker Liu sat down unceremoniously and said: "Big sister, today I was entrusted by a nobleman to propose marriage. I heard that your little girl has passed away today. My sister-in-law in the town entrusted me to propose marriage for my nephew. There are twenty-three nephews, and they are working in the yamen, and today you specially entrusted me to propose marriage to your little girl!"

Cui was stupefied: "The Liu family? What kind of family is it? How do they know that my Xiang'er is on the screen today?"

Matchmaker Liu immediately explained: "Don't worry, old girl, she is definitely a good family! Don't talk about the young man's character, just talk about his family. Although his father left early, my old sister-in-law is a capable woman." , I insisted on bringing up the three children by myself, the land was less than ten mu, but now it is almost twenty mu, your daughter is married, but what about the eldest daughter-in-law!"

Cui was puzzled and asked again: "How can such a nice family see that I have a girl?"

Matchmaker Liu said bluntly: "I'm not too sure about why I fell in love with you. It wasn't the marriage proposal, but my sister-in-law came to entrust her in person. It is said that she fell in love with your girl. It seems that your girl is lucky! "

Cui said hesitantly: "My daughter is still young, and she doesn't know much about the rules. If she married someone in the town, would it be..."

Matchmaker Liu asked with a smile, "Will it be something? Will you be wronged? Old girl, you can rest assured. I can guarantee this. My sister-in-law is really a Bodhisattva."

Lu Yumin curled her lips aside: A widow who can raise three children, can she really be kind like a Bodhisattva?I'm afraid he was bullied to death long ago!However, this Mrs. Liu is really a good person and has a good personality. She is on the same level as this Cui family!

——Sure enough, this professional matchmaker is the most foolish person in the world!

Cui also wanted to say: "But..."

Matchmaker Liu hurriedly interrupted her: "Old girl, don't you want me to be unable to drink this wedding bar? I didn't get that glass of wine last year. Could it be that my sisters and sisters can't drink this glass of wine today?"

Cui said embarrassingly: "Old sister, I didn't mean that, it's just that the five sons of my family haven't engaged yet. If the sister who is so much younger than him is engaged, I'm afraid some gossip will affect the children!"

Li Wulin on the side immediately stood up after hearing Cui's words and said, "Mother, just promise Aunt Liu, I'm fine."

As soon as Cui heard Li Wulin's words, she became angry: "You have no problem, but your father and I don't have the face to go underground to meet the ancestors of the Li family! These young men in their twenties can't get married. What I know is that you choose three Picking up four, those who don’t know think I’m a partial mother!”

Li Wulin heard what Cui said so seriously, and he has long heard that Liu Siqiang likes his little sister, he is also very satisfied with this person, he must not ruin this marriage because of himself, then Liu Siqiang will go crazy up!
So Li Wulin took a step forward and bowed to Matchmaker Liu before saying: "Aunt Liu, my nephew has a crush on a girl, and I want to ask you to be a great matchmaker!"

Hearing his son suddenly said that he had a crush on a girl, Cui was stunned: "What? You have a crush on a girl? You didn't even tell your mother!"

Li Wulin immediately said: "Mother, I was going to tell you. Isn't there a reason for this? Such a good marriage of my little sister can't be ruined because of me! Besides, I really like her girl, so I have to Find someone to propose marriage."

Matchmaker Liu laughed loudly when she heard the words: "Okay, okay, this is really double happiness! You kid ruined my reputation last time, you have to get me back this time!"

What Cui cared about was the girl Li Wulin mentioned, and when Matchmaker Liu finished speaking, she hurriedly asked, "Old Wu, which girl do you fancy? Do you know everything about the family?"

When Li Wulin saw Cui asked him face to face, he couldn't help but blushed: "Mother, I know the situation of this girl's family very well! The girl is really a good person, she is Uncle Qin from the third sister-in-law's family." Juan'er, my daughter!"

"What? A servant's daughter?" Cui yelled strangely when she heard that it was the Qin couple's daughter!
Lu Yumin frowned, and looked at Li Sanlin with a puzzled expression. Li Sanlin also shook his head at her to express his confusion. Li Wulin said unhappily, "Mother, can you stop making such a fuss? Who is it? Where is the nobility of home!"

Cui said resolutely: "No way! How can you marry a servant's daughter into my house! You say you should die!"

Li Wulin said stubbornly: "I don't care who is a servant, what I want to marry is a daughter-in-law, not an identity!"

If Lu Yumin hadn't got a backer, this Cui family would have fired at her, but now she doesn't dare to act recklessly, so she can only look intolerant!
Lu Yumin saw Li Wulin's pleading eyes, she stood up and said softly: "Grandmother, don't worry! As the saying goes, I would rather marry a servant girl from a big family than a girl from a small household! This Juaner was given to me by my sister-in-law. The person who has taught me for several years is a child who understands the rules! I don’t know what’s going on with Wulin, but if you want to marry Juan’er from my family, I’m afraid you have to ask my sister-in-law. Because my sister-in-law said Well, when Juan'er gets married, she has to get rid of her slave status and buy a dowry for her!"

Cui said resolutely: "Even if she is freed from slavery, Wulin can't recognize a slave as father-in-law, right? Unless they are also freed from slavery!"

It seems that the concept of this ancient disciple is really too strong!Lu Yumin felt right when she heard what Cui said. As a modern person, she didn't have such a strong sense of family and disciples, but this Cui didn't!

what to do?Li Wulin was as anxious as an ant on a hot nest!He wanted to tell Cui a long time ago, but he was afraid that his mother would disagree, so he froze during this great joy!

Seeing Li Wulin's anxious look, Lu Yumin thought that this little uncle really fell in love with Juan'er!But what was lying in front of him was not a small ditch, it was a big river!What's more, the Qin couple are still Tang Yunqing's people!
Seeing that Lu Yumin was silent, Li Wulin's face turned pale with anxiety. He sat on the stool in a daze like a daze. Slave, can you agree to this marriage?"

Cui was taken aback by Lu Yumin's question, but thinking about the girl, she was dissatisfied: "Even if the whole family is no longer a slave, but the petite body of that child is probably not a good parent!"

When Li Wulin saw his mother picking things up, he said angrily: "Mother, what are you talking about! Who is this saying that being petite is not easy to bear? Besides, is the purpose of marrying a wife to give birth to many children?"

Cui stared: "Marrying a daughter-in-law is not easy to bear children, so what do you do when you get married? Ask all the elders in this family, whether it is important for a woman to carry on the family line and spread the branches!"

Several elders in the hall nodded involuntarily. Even if they knew this was the case, Li Wulin still felt aggrieved and said, "It doesn't mean you can't have children because you are petite, right? As long as you can give birth to one or two, isn't it all right? "

Cui scolded Li Wulin angrily: "Which one have you seen that thinks there are too many children? One or two is fine? Don't even think about it!"

Li Wulin argued red-faced and said: "Does mother think that as long as she can give birth, it doesn't matter if she is a big man or a woman with crooked mouth and sharp teeth, and you can marry her? But you can like such a woman, but I don't like your son! If my mother won't let me marry Juan'er, then I'll be a bachelor for the rest of my life!"

Cui pointed to Li Wulin's nose and asked, "What did you say? If you are not allowed to marry a servant's daughter, you are going to be a bachelor for the rest of your life? Well, after you lose face to your ancestors, why don't I beat you to death right now?" Apologize to the ancestors!"

Speaking of which, Mrs. Cui was about to reach out to grab the broom behind the door. Seeing that the mother and son had fallen out again over the matter of getting married, everyone persuaded them one after another.

Lu Yumin knew that Cui's disapproval was because she was dissatisfied with herself, so she had no choice but to say, "Fifth Uncle, mother-in-law may be right. Carrying on the family line is the responsibility of one's children. She is right!"

Li Wulin felt even more sad after hearing Lu Yumin's words, sister-in-law can't pass this level, let alone mother's level!

Just when he couldn't think about it, Lu Yumin changed the subject: "However, there are many petite women in the village, and there are many who are good at giving birth! My mother-in-law is familiar with this village, so I don't need to tell you one by one, so Speaking of mother-in-law, you don't have to worry too much about it, how many children you have is predestined, how many children you are destined to have, God will not short you."

Rural people are superstitious. When Lu Yumin talked about God, Matchmaker Liu laughed loudly: "Old girl, you are a very knowledgeable daughter-in-law! This maidservant is not something that ordinary peasants can marry, let alone the maidservant of the county magistrate's wife." What’s more, whether you have children or not, it’s really destiny! Your kid is really blessed! Don’t talk about it, if this thing can really happen, your luck is not ordinary!”

After the relatives knew that Sanlin's daughter-in-law and the county magistrate were brothers and sisters, no one dared to step down on her anymore!Seeing that she agreed with Li Wulin's marriage, everyone helped to persuade Cui Shi.

Ever since Cui knew that Lu Yumin had an elder brother who was the county magistrate, she never dared to trouble her again!But now that Li Wulin wants to marry one of her servants, he feels uncomfortable!Grit your teeth and don't agree no matter what!
She didn't let go, and Liu Siqiang's marriage proposal naturally fell through. All the relatives couldn't help shaking their heads at Cui's stubborn temper, but Cui didn't know that her reputation made many daughters dare not marry into the Li family.
