Chapter 31 Driving the mule cart back to my parents’ home
"Ah, sir, are you saying that you want to go back to your parents' home with me?" Li Qinglian asked in surprise.
After speaking, he looked at Chu Chen in front of him with tears in his eyes.
Well, it’s just going back to your parents’ home. Are you so excited?
Chu Chen looked puzzled: "What are you doing? Qinglian, why are you crying again?"
"Ms. sir, I'm happy. I didn't expect you to think of my parents."
"Well, as a son-in-law, these are all things that should be done, but you also know that I have been a complete bastard for more than a year since we got married, so I would like you to tell me about the situation at home." Chu Chen said again asked awkwardly.
Li Qinglian didn't take it seriously and talked about the situation at home.
It turned out that Li Qinglian belonged to a poor family in Longyan Village, a suburb of Qingniu Town.
His parents are still alive, and he has an older brother.
Her father was a complete drunkard and favored boys over girls. Li Qinglian has been unpopular since she was born.
Also unpopular was Li Qinglian's mother.
Every time she drank, she would punch and kick her mother.
But the women of that era had no resistance at all, and they were beaten so deeply for most of their lives.
After his brother married his sister-in-law from the same village, her father sold Li Qinglian to Chu Chen's scholar father in order to build a new house for the family.
He received two taels of silver, but the requirement was that Chu Chen could not regret the engagement, otherwise, the two taels would not be withdrawn.
"I don't have any feelings for my father. The only thing I can't let go of is my poor mother."
"Ms. sir, you gave me 100 taels that day, but I didn't use any of it. How about we buy some clothes and bedding for my mother this time?"
Li Qinglian looked at Chu Chen and asked, seeking his opinion.
But Chu Chen doesn't think so. If Li Qinglian's family is really like this, then no matter how much you buy, it won't solve the problem.
If that doesn't work, it's not impossible to bring the mother-in-law over after the villa is built.
Everything, let’s go see it first and then talk about it.
So he said to Li Qinglian: "No problem, don't be reluctant to spend the money. My husband has a lot of money now. While it's still early, let's set off now and go have lunch."
"Ah, are you going now? But the family is still building a house."
Li Qinglian thought that after the house was built, she could go there when she had free time. Besides, someone had to watch over the house when it was being built.
"We don't have to worry about building a house. You go change into your best clothes, and I'll show you how to dress up."
Chu Chen waved his hand and gave instructions to Li Qinglian.
"Excuse me, sir, what is pretense?" Li Qinglian asked.
So this time, Zuoshi stopped Chu Chen in his tracks and replied vaguely: "Go and change quickly. You also want to see your mother as soon as possible, don't you?"
After the two changed clothes, Chu Chen followed suit and drove the mule cart towards Qingniu Town, planning to purchase some things in Qingniu Town before heading to Longyan Village.
Qingniu Town, in front of the mutton stall.
"What did you say? It's guaranteed." The boss looked at the young man in front of him in surprise.
He immediately realized what was going on, packed up all the mutton on the stall, weighed it, and enthusiastically carried it onto Chu Chen's mule cart.
"This young man has a total of eight taels of silver." The boss said while rubbing his hands.
Li Qinglian on the side stared wide-eyed. Eight taels of silver could almost cover a year's expenses for a rural family.
"Ms. sir, it doesn't matter so much. You know my father is that kind of person."
Li Qinglian said to Chu Chen.
"It's okay. I have to do this to make him regret treating you like that before. Just listen to me."
After saying that, he headed towards the wine shop, bought two jars of wine, took out the eight bottles of 52-degree technology and hard work that he brought out from the space, and poured them in at once.
He went to the clothing store and said to Li Qinglian: "Qinglian, you should know your mother-in-law's figure. Go pick out some clothes for her."
"Don't worry, I'll just buy it for my mother-in-law. No one else."
When it comes to clothes, I'm not that generous. Food and other things, what I eat in my stomach are just to show off.
Moreover, Chu Chen said that he did not dare to drink the four bottles of technology and hard work mixed with the two jars of wine.
Then I bought some oil, salt, soy sauce and a few bags of rice, and drove the mule cart toward Longyan Village.
At the entrance of Longyan Village, some eldest wives and old ladies were sitting at the entrance of the village exchanging information.
"Hey, look, isn't that Qinglian, the daughter of Mr. Li's family? She's actually driving a mule cart back."
"I heard that Li Laoer, the man who killed a thousand swords, sold her to a prodigal in Mashan Village for only two taels of silver. She suffered a lot."
"What's going on? Could it be that it was returned?"
"Hey, I have to go to Mr. Li's house and see what Mr. Li says this time."
So a group of people quietly followed their mule cart towards Li Qinglian's house.
At this moment, Li Qinglian's mother was busy in the kitchen.
A few taels of corn and a large pot of wild vegetables were steaming in the earthen pot.
Li Qinglian's brother works in the town and doesn't come home at noon.
At this time, Li Lao'er, his wife and his daughter-in-law were the only ones left at home.
The daughter-in-law was lying on the bed in the new house, while Li Laoer was in the main room with his eyes closed and concentrating.
Chu Chen raised his eyes and saw that this house was not much better than his home in Mashan Village.
Next to a thatched house is a new thatched house, which was probably obtained from selling Li Qinglian for the two taels of silver.
Watching the mule cart slowly drive into the door of his house, Li Laoer quickly got up.
The daughter-in-law also walked out of the room.
With his family looking so poor, when would distinguished guests driving mule carts come?
When he saw Li Qinglian and Chu Chen getting off the mule cart, Li Laoer started to curse.
"You lose money, did you get it back? This is my uncle, right? Your father and I have agreed that the two taels of silver will not be refunded."
This operation really made Chu Chen extremely angry. As a promising young soul in the 21st century, he had never seen such a father.
At this moment, Li Qinglian's sister-in-law also came to the mule cart from the room.
He said helpfully: "Brother-in-law, this money really cannot be refunded. You see, it has turned into a house. You can't even refund it."
"Well, this is my father-in-law, right? Who said you want to quit?"
Chu Chen really couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and said.
Li Qinglian seemed to be numb, but she didn't cry or look angry.
Instead, he headed all the way towards the kitchen.
"If you don't want to refund, what is this?" Li Laoer asked in confusion when he heard that Chu Chen was not here to return the goods.
The sharp-eyed sister-in-law saw the bulging supplies on the mule cart in a blink of an eye.
"Oh dad, since my brother-in-law is not here to break off the engagement, he must be here to visit you. Come on, brother-in-law, please sit in the room."
After saying that, he couldn't help but wink at Li Laoer.
"Oh, uncle, come on, sit in the room, look at my brain, how could my uncle break off the engagement? My Qinglian is so capable."
Li Laoer seemed to understand immediately and stepped forward to speak to Chu Chen enthusiastically.
After speaking, he looked at Chu Chen in front of him with tears in his eyes.
Well, it’s just going back to your parents’ home. Are you so excited?
Chu Chen looked puzzled: "What are you doing? Qinglian, why are you crying again?"
"Ms. sir, I'm happy. I didn't expect you to think of my parents."
