"Mom, didn't you say you would capture him soon? Why is there no news yet? The child is about to grow up, and Chua'er will marry a wife in a few years. We can't let him Are you still sleeping under our bed with your wife?"

Liu Chunxi, the boss of the Liu family, said to Sun Xiangxiang.

"Yes, mother, Chuan'er is nine years old, and our Wu'er is six years old. We sleep under the bed every day, and we are no longer taller. The family is so small, and it is very difficult for everyone to walk side by side. Mother, didn't you say After marrying into the Yan Mansion, will you take us to live in a big house? I haven’t seen you marry into it for how long!"

Liu Chunlai, the second eldest son of the Liu family, echoed his eldest brother.

"It was all going to happen, but Mrs. Yan is not easy to fool. If she insists on marrying her father, she will drive Old Yan back to the village! Didn't you tell me this openly? When Old Yan sees him That girl is like a mouse seeing a cat, what can I do? Hey!"

Sun Xiangxiang sat on the edge of the bed and sighed repeatedly.

Originally, she wanted to win over Yan Hecheng step by step, marry him, and then take her children and grandchildren to live in the Yan Mansion. Later, she would take over the headship of the Yan Mansion and let her two sons go to the Yan family. The restaurant and pastry shop helped, and the two shops were in the palm of his family's hands.

But who knew that he had just taken the first step.

The road was blocked by Yan.

Despite all her calculations, she never expected that Old Man Yan would be so afraid of his daughter.

"Mom, why not do this? You take advantage of the busy time of the Yan family to find an opportunity to trick Old Yan out of the house and find him an inn. Then, Mom, you light up the poison and stun him, and then cook with him. The child's father and the second child broke the door and made a big fuss. Mom, just say that Old Man Yan forced you. If he doesn't marry you, we will report it to the official and have his good harvest! No matter how powerful Yan is, she still Can you cover the sky with just one hand?"

Bai Xiaozhi, the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of the Liu family, suggested.

"Sister-in-law is right. If you are too soft, let's be tough. I really don't want to be crowded in this small house every day. If you don't be cruel, you will have to suffer and be poor all your life. Mother, just agree. Then I will follow you. My sister-in-law is sitting outside the inn crying and making trouble, and making the matter as big as possible will definitely make Old Yan relent and marry you."

The second daughter-in-law Chen Donghua also agrees with Bai Xiaozhi's idea.

She rolled her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

"But Mom has inquired and found out that the Yan family has a very good relationship with the county government officials, and they often interact with the county magistrate. If the officials protect our shortcomings, we have no way to turn to him."

Sun Xiangxiang hesitated.

The daughters-in-law stay at home every day and do not know what is going on outside.

She knew it very well.

In Shuangqiao Town, who doesn’t know that the Yan family is backed by a big tree.

She was protected by the county magistrate, and she often interacted with officials. If she dared to blatantly plot against Yan Hecheng, if she made a mistake, the whole family would suffer.

"Mom, do you have any other ideas? Instead of living in this shabby house without food and clothing, why not give it a try? Winter is coming, and our family can't even afford winter clothes. Look, Look, this quilt is so thin, it’s full of patches.”

Liu Chunxi's eyes turned cold.

He clenched his fists and stared at his mother, Sun Xiangxiang.

Sun Xiangxiang felt a sense of coercion. She thought for a moment and could only nod helplessly in agreement.

"The drug is not good. The smell is too strong. After it is lit, there are still ash residues. It is easy to be discovered. If the official comes to investigate, there will be no explanation. So, when spring comes, you go to the kiln tomorrow and buy a bottle of love potion from the mother in the kiln. , I heard that disobedient girls who just come to the brothel and make troubles to seek death will be given medicine and sent to pick up customers. If their bodies are broken, they will naturally stop making troubles. This medicine is colorless and odorless. If you put it in the food, it will not be easily detected. Mom I also overheard it, it should be for both men and women, I’ll give you the money, and when you buy it, my mother will go find Yan Hecheng.”

Sun Xiangxiang took out a purse from under the pillow.

Deflated.

Once opened, there were only three broken pieces of silver inside.

The total amount is no more than 20 years old.

This is all the Liu family's money.

Sun Xiangxiang only gave the smaller piece of silver.

Only half a tael.

Liu Chunlai, the second oldest member of the Liu family, took the broken silver and responded. "I understand, mother, I will go there early tomorrow morning."

The kiln's business is best at night.

Mom is busy. If she goes now, she will only be annoyed.

If it opens early in the morning, most mothers would not refuse this business.

If you refuse a customer, your business will be bad for the whole day.

The same applies to opening a shop and a kiln.

After several members of the Liu family discussed it, the two daughters-in-law started cooking.

Because the house is small and there is an alley outside the house, there is no kitchen or hut, so I can only cook food on the simple stove at the door with a pot in hand.

Today the Liu family eats dried bamboo shoots and boiled gray noodles.

There is not a drop of oil star, only a few drops of salt are added, and it tastes pink and bland in the mouth. It is only the dried bamboo shoots that have a bit of umami.

After dinner, it was already dark. Under the moonlight, the two daughters-in-law of the Liu family washed the dishes, filled a basin of water, each washed their faces and went to bed.

Yan Fuer, who was at the top of the city, entered the courtyard.

Yan Xia took out two boxes and handed them to Chang Yu.

"Yu'er, these are your birthday gifts. One is a sister necklace for you and Yi'er, and the other is a gift that my mother gave you after thinking about it for a long time. Please open it and take a look."

There were only two people in the house, mother and daughter.

Chang Yi had already gotten her necklace and went back to the house to admire it.

"Wow, this necklace is so beautiful. Mom, I like it so much." As expected, Chang Yu's eyes widened when she saw the necklace. She picked up the necklace and placed it around her neck. She loved it.

"Mom, put it on for you. Remember, you can wear this necklace outside your clothes during the day, but when it gets dark, you must put it inside your clothes, otherwise it will cause trouble, do you understand?"

This is the second time Yan Xia has said these words.

She also gave the instructions when she gave Chang Yi the necklace just now.

"Well, I understand, Mom, this necklace will glow at night. Mom, you told me. I will definitely not let outsiders see it."

"Okay, take a look in the mirror." As he spoke, Yan Xia had already put on the necklace, and took out a hand-held bronze mirror for her daughter to take a look at.

The house is brightly lit.

Five candles were lit.

Chang Yu took the bronze mirror and looked at his neck.

A luxurious gold-encrusted jewelery stone necklace was seen hanging on the outside of her soft blue clothes.

Refracted by the light of the candle lamp.

Extremely dazzling.

Excellent workmanship.

The most important thing is that this was a drawing and design made by my mother herself for the two sisters.

There are only two strings in the world.

"Mom, thank you." Chang Yu shed tears.

The round teardrops rolled down her beautiful face, crossed the necklace, and merged with the pearls on the gold, like a mermaid crying.

"As long as you like it, don't cry. Have a good birthday, but don't cry. Come on, open this box."

Yan Xia held up the box, signaled to her second daughter, and then opened the gift.

"it is good."

Chang Yu nodded heavily.

She gently wiped her tears with the back of her hand.
