suspected wife

Qingchuan City is rich in the east and rich in the west, while the South Street and North Street are the places where common people live.

North Street is even worse than South Street.Most of them are the places where the servants in the big mansion live or the houses rented by some odd jobs in the city.

The Liu family also lives in North Street.

A row of low houses, narrow and cramped.The small alley was a little messy, and there was still an unpleasant smell in the air.

Yue Zhongyao had been here several times, and every time he came back, he would feel an unspeakable sense of guilt.

If Liu's father was still there, why did their orphans and widows move here from South Street?

Father Liu was strong and strong before he recruited a husband. Although he was doing odd jobs everywhere, he could still afford to send his only son to school and provide a family of four with food and clothing.

Now the mother and daughter are taking jobs everywhere, just for the last blood of the Liu family to have some future.So that Father Liu can feel at ease underground.

"Brother Yue, come in quickly. Could it be that you don't recognize the door of the house?"

Liu Meiniang smiled and raised her hand sideways to Yue Zhongyao in the door.

Yue Zhongyao smiled at Liu Meiniang, raised his leg and stepped over the threshold.

A very small yard, two rooms, a kitchen, and the courtyard wall is shared with the next door.

It can be seen that the left and right houses were originally a whole, and then they were divided and rented out to simple and poor families like the Liu family.

"Mother, Brother Yue is here." Liu Meiniang shouted from the courtyard.

The old wooden door creaked, and Mother Liu hurried out.

"Is Zhongyao here? It's almost warm in the house, but today the wind is blowing again."

Mother Liu finished speaking to Yue Zhongyao, and then said to Liu Meiniang angrily: "You child. Why did you bring your elder brother Yue here at this time? Can't you delay the business?"

Yue Zhongyao smiled at Mother Liu, and said: "Auntie, don't blame her. I just came back from the neighboring county today. After completing my official duties, the county magistrate allowed me to rest for a day. I was just about to go back to my dormitory to rest."

Mother Liu had a smile on her face when she heard this.

He also ordered Liu Meiniang to go to the kitchen to prepare meals, and asked Yue Zhongyao to have dinner here.

"Where is the text?"

Yue Zhongyao scanned around the courtyard, but did not see Liu Youwen.

The smile on Liu's mother's face added two points, as long as she was thinking about the text.

"He, he's still in school, and he won't finish school for another hour. If he knows that Brother Yue is coming to see him, maybe he can sneak back."

Mother Liu said with a smile while leading Yue Zhongyao into Liu Youwen's room.

There are only two rooms in their house.

The mother and daughter lived in one room, and Liu Youwen lived in one alone.

There is no flower hall for guests, not even a main room.When Yue Zhongyao came, he could only sit in Liu Youwen's room.

After all, the room where the mother and daughter live is not very convenient.

Not to mention the flower hall for entertaining guests, Liu Youwen didn't have a study room even if he wanted it.And the neighbors are noisy all day long.Since moving here, Liu Youwen couldn't calm down to study at all.

Mother Liu had no choice but to let him stay in the school.Every day after school, Liu Youwen was the last one to leave.Fortunately, my husband saw him working hard and didn't push him away, so he could stay in school and finish his homework for the day before going home.

Even when the school was closed, Liu Youwen always carried books to the school to study.

Mother Liu sighed at this thought.

Although there is Liu's father's pension of 50 taels of silver.But that was the family's life-saving money, and it was saved for the son's school entrance examination.In addition, the daughter's dowry must be prepared.

She wished that one penny could be turned into two pennies and three pennies to spend.

Moving here is not just for cheap rent.

That's why she wanted to settle her daughter's marriage quickly.With the help of a son-in-law, at least the situation at home will be much better.And someone in the family supported the door, so that their orphans and widows would not be bullied.

Where in this world is a quiet place for widows and orphans?

Liu Youwen's room was very small, with a small bed, and a pile of books on the side of the bed, but no bookshelves.

That bed was only big enough for one person to lie on, and it was difficult to turn over at will.

There is a desk next to the bed.A chair and two long benches propped against the wall at the end of the bed.There is a cage.

Apart from this, there is no other decoration.

Although there are few things, the room still looks crowded.There is nowhere to place a chair even if I want to put it extra.

Yue Zhongyao glanced twice in the room, then at the books placed by Liu Youwen on the desk, and then sat down on the only chair with his head down.

"You still study at night?"

"Yes. The child said that he was too noisy during the day, so he wanted to be quiet at night. I was worried that the child would spoil his eyesight."

Mother Liu sat on Liu Youwen's bed while talking.

Then he poured a cup of hot boiling water for Yue Zhongyao, and he was quite apologetic when he handed it out.

"This is the condition of our family, and we can't afford the tea. Zhongyao, you should take care of it."

Yue Zhongyao warmed his hands with the coarse porcelain cup, and said to Mother Liu: "This one is very good. I don't have any tea at home to entertain guests. When Chinese New Year guests come, at most it's just a cup of sugar water."

After speaking, he smiled.

Mrs. Liu nodded and said, "That's right, people like us don't have to do the kind of thing that slaps a swollen face to pretend to be fat."

The look of a fellow man.That's good, no embarrassment.

Mother Liu paused and then said: "During the Chinese New Year, I wanted to take Mei Niang and Youwen to pay New Year's greetings to you, but unexpectedly I was sick during the New Year, and the two children were worried about me, so they didn't even come to pay your respects. Happy New Year, elders."

Yue Zhongyao shook his head, looked at Liu Shi and said, "Is Auntie feeling better? Do you want me to ask the doctor to come and see?"

Mother Liu hurriedly waved her hands, and said angrily, "Where do you need to pay for a doctor? Just lie down and drink a few cups of hot water. There is no need to spend such money."

Yue Zhongyao said casually: "You can't be afraid of spending money and not hire a doctor, this minor illness can turn into a serious one. The next time you feel unwell, you should ask the doctor to come to see you at home."

Mother Liu smiled and nodded.

The two sat at each other and exchanged a few words.

During the break, Mother Liu saw that Yue Zhongyao had stopped talking and was raising a glass to drink water.After thinking for a while, he said again: "Zhongyao, your mother came to visit us a few years ago, and she was full of praise for the dishes made by our Meiniang. It’s time to have such a blessing again.”

After speaking, Liu covered her mouth and laughed.

Then he said to Yue Zhongyao: "Your mother must have told you?"

Yue Zhongyao put down the teacup slowly, his mother had told him of course.

His mother also forced him to ask when he would marry Liu Meiniang back home.

only……

How is he going to say it?

Looking at this family whose situation is getting worse after the death of Liu's father, Liu Youwen, who is praised by his husband for his talent in reading, is about to drop out of school because he can't afford to eat...

How should he say it?

But what about Jinniang?

Let Wan'er call someone else her father.It's better to kill him directly.

Every time he thinks of his daughter softly calling someone else her father, waiting for someone to hug her with a smile on her face, it hurts his heart like a knife.

It would be better to die on the battlefield full of bones.

"Auntie, I..."

Looking at Liu Shi who looked at him expectantly, Yue Zhongyao opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know how to speak.

"Brother Yue."

It's difficult.He heard Liu Meiniang standing at the door of the room with a smile and calling out to him.

Yue Zhongyao was interrupted by Liu Meiniang before he could finish his sentence.

He breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

"Mother, help me go to the kitchen and see what delicious food I can make for Brother Yue." Mrs. Liu said to Mother Liu.

There is also a bit of a little girl's coquettishness in the words.

Liu Shi glanced at her daughter, and she naturally saw the pleading in her daughter's eyes.This girl didn't know what to say to Zhong Yao when she was dismissed.

However, it's good that the two have something to say.After marriage like this.The two will be in love with each other.He smiled and gave Liu Meiniang an order, then got up and went out.

Yue Zhongyao watched Liu Meiniang sitting on the bed.Said to her: "Meiniang has something to say to me?"

Liu Meiniang tilted her head and said with a smile, "How does Brother Yue know that I have something to say? Could it be the roundworm in my stomach?"

Yue Zhongyao smiled but did not answer.

Liu Meiniang glanced at him and said, "My mother just said something strange to Brother Yue, right? Brother Yue, don't pay too much attention to it, my mother is just worried about me."

Liu Meiniang naturally knew what her mother was going to say to Yue Zhongyao.

Every night before going to bed, the mother and daughter would lie on the small bed, and the mother would give her some advice.

It was nothing more than letting her take the initiative towards Yue Zhongyao so as to please him, and Yue Zhongyao would naturally treat her well in the future.Will love the house and the house to help her younger brother and help her father take care of their family.

In fact, she didn't quite agree with her mother's words.

If you just want to find someone to help their family.Yue Zhongyao was not a suitable candidate.

Not to mention that his monthly money is only [-] Wen a month, even if there is some money to be made, but his family is not separated, I heard that his mother Wu came to the Yamen to collect his monthly money in person.

It's not now, but Yue Zhongyao's meager monthly salary still has to be handed over to his mother, right?

In addition to adoptive parents, they also raised a large family, brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces.How many will be revealed to the Liu family?

How can the Wu family be easy to get along with?

And he is just a fast catcher, how can he have the ability to help his younger brother's official career?

Although she was unwilling in her heart, her mother nagged in her ear day and night, and she also felt that Yue Zhongyao might have a future in the future, and with a heart of guilt and gratitude towards her father, he would definitely treat her well, yes Their family is good, and they will spare no effort to help their family.

Such a man is obedient.

But on the Lantern Festival night, after she saw that scene, she no longer thought about it that way.

Brocade clothes, servants clearing the way, servants surrounded on both sides to serve, randomly throwing silver ingots as rewards, being chased by envious eyes all the way...

She wants to have these too.

Her suppressed heart began to stir around the corner.

Only such a family can completely change the fate of their family, right?

Only in order to support her brother to go to the best academy, in order to have money to manage his brother's career, in order to let him go further.

And her younger brother is promising, are you afraid that she won't be able to stand up in the big family's house? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
