Yu Boya lived a depressed life in this family, and she wanted to escape, but the upbringing engraved in her bones prevented her from disobeying her parents' decision in person, and she could only use this method to impress them.

This statement really touched my parents. They raised the price of the bride price to ten taels of silver, which was unique among the twelve surrounding villages.

Ten taels of silver is enough for their family of four to live frugally for three years. Which family would spend so much money to marry a girl.

When Yu Boya heard this number, she was desperate.

She thought that the betrothal gift her father asked for was at most five or six taels taller than those girls, but she did not expect that the betrothal gift was so high that no one had ever asked for it.

When she collapsed in despair, the young man actually agreed. When he sent her ten taels of silver, he had only one request: to get married as soon as possible.

Yu Boya, who was only thirteen years old, married Xiang Yiliang, who was fourteen years old. The two children were so sweet that Yu Boya didn't get married until she was sixteen.

Yu Boya was held in the hands of the young man and pampered. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law loved her as if they were their own daughter. She was allowed to eat all the delicious food first, saying that their son would be happy only if her body was well taken care of. .

My sister-in-law, who is not yet married, is called sister-in-law non-stop. They are the real sisters when they are affectionate.

Because of Xiang Yiliang's seniority, people would call her sister-in-law, aunt, grandma, or grandma when she went out.

Every time Yu Boya recalls her life, she is extremely grateful for the decision she made at that time, otherwise, she would not know where she died.

When she gave birth to her second son, her mother's family finally couldn't survive. She wanted to help, but she didn't want to. She was afraid that after helping her parents, she would help her two younger brothers who were studying together in the future.

But she couldn't do it without relief and watching them starve to death.

When she hesitated, her old man took the initiative to take her back to help the family. The scholar's father said that he would not eat the food he brought in, but he held the money tightly.

My old man bought another five acres of land for his family so that they could farm for self-sufficiency, but the family secretly sold the land.

Yu Boya angrily ran back to her parents' home to blame her parents, but the scholar's father scolded her for being ignorant of etiquette, justice and shame, and taking the blame on her parents.

Her mother even said that she was just throwing away water. Don't go back to your parents' house and let people gossip. Just stay at home and take care of your husband and raise your children. Don't talk like a talkative woman.

Yu Boya was so angry that her whole body went cold. After returning home, she was cautious for fear that her husband's family would blame her, but no one from her husband's family blamed her and even comforted her, which made Yu Boya cry even harder.

Yu Boya only went back during the New Year and holidays to her natal family, who was heartbroken. She was not afraid that she would be wronged, but that her husband would be wronged.

When she returned home during the Mid-Autumn Festival the following year, she suddenly found that her parents' stone house had turned into a brick house like the one in the town. She was shocked.

When her father and mother saw her coming back, they became cold-faced and told her not to come back often so as not to make her sister-in-law unhappy. They also said that they were doing better now. If you came here often again, others would say that you were here to bring trouble.

Yu Boya, with red eyes and tears in her eyes, immediately took her husband on her arm and headed home. On the way, she asked him: "Did you already know that my house...their house had a new house?"

Her husband said: "I know, it took four months to build their house."

Yu Boya looked shocked: "Where's the money? Where did they get the money?"

She doesn't care if they don't tell her about their new house, and she doesn't blame her husband for not telling her about their family. She only cares about whether those people broke the law.

Her husband smiled scornfully: "Your father sold all the unique copies collected at home. Someone happened to be looking for them at that time, so they sold them for a good price. According to their rumors, the total number of those unique copies was probably two hundred taels, but I think, Yu Shao has five hundred taels."

What is the concept of five hundred taels? It is enough to easily feed the entire 400 people in Yujia Village for a year.

Yu Boya felt cold all over after listening to her husband's words. She was so trembling that she didn't dare to look back at her husband, let alone ask.

Her husband knew that his mother-in-law had received five hundred taels of silver, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law must also know.

But in the past few months, they have not asked themselves, nor given them a wink, nor have they asked themselves to go back to their parents' home to share some money with them, how should everyone live.

Her husband's family was very kind to her, but her mother's family was afraid that she would go home to borrow money and wouldn't even tell her a letter.

She didn't want to talk about how she was living in her parents' home, she just wanted to live a good life here.

She went home once to celebrate the New Year and once to pay New Year greetings. The eldest brother came home to get married, and the second brother came home to get married. Every time she went home, her parents asked her to go back early, and the second sister-in-law even ridiculed her for not leaving because she wanted to share the money.

Yu Boya was also a proud person, and she was disdainful. She didn't even go back for the Chinese New Year, for fear of seeing their wary and disgusting looks.

Gradually, as people get older, their hearts become softer. In addition, their parents are also getting older. No matter how angry they are, they don't want to care about it anymore.

Yu Boya started walking around with her mother's family again, but the second sister-in-law was too domineering and either scolded her or her parents.

The parents' theory was that she came back because she was thinking about the money, so the second sister-in-law would scold them. If she didn't come back, the second sister-in-law would not scold them.

Yu Boya was shocked. After more than thirty years of unfinished silver, she was afraid it would be more than five hundred taels. She didn't dare to ask, so she had no choice but not to come.

The next time it was her father's funeral, she knelt there like a stranger, but she couldn't cry anymore.

After the funeral, I went home like a stranger and cried bitterly. When I came back, it was my mother's funeral.

The eldest brother and the second brother held her hands and burst into tears, saying that they had lost their parents and that from now on they would be the only three siblings left.

This family relationship has been picked up again. Once a month at the market, the siblings meet, chat for half a morning and then separate. The relationship is better than before.

As the old saying goes, if parents are together, brothers and sisters are one family.

But in their family, their parents are not here, so the three siblings are barely a family.

This relative has nothing to lose. Mrs. Yu is upright and worthy of the gods three feet above her head. She has no regrets in her heart.

She had no regrets at all about severing ties this time, but she still felt a touch of sadness.

Now seeing Xiao Qi who was worried about her, Yu smiled and said, "Don't look at grandma like that. Grandma is very happy to have children like you, really."

Xiang Ci could still feel her grandma's sadness, and held her hand and solemnly swore: "I, Xiang Ci, will never get married and will accompany my grandma until the end of the world."

Mrs. Yu smiled gracefully: "Although the term "end of the world" refers to a long time ago, everyone likes to use it to talk about love. What do you mean when you use it on grandma?"

Xiang Ci chuckled and said, "I want to become an elegant old lady like grandma!"

Mrs. Yu: "..."

Xiang Ling and Xiang Wan burst out laughing after they realized what they were doing.

Mrs. Yu was also amused by her statement. All the previous sadness disappeared, and the four grandparents and grandson were very happy.
