The old lady is reborn

"you?"

Mother Lu said, "What do you have to compare with Yiyi? Their eyebrows and eyes look similar when viewed separately, but when they are put together, why are they so different?

If Yiyi can marry into the Yao family, can you?

Since you don't have the ability, why don't you help Yiyi share some of the burden? Are you missing out?

What good is your good reputation? "

Lu Yiyi covered her mouth and laughed: "Mom, you can't say that. If my sister has a good reputation, she can marry Ergou or Dazhu in the village. If she has a bad reputation, she can marry Hangouzi or Shazhu."

The second brother of the Lu family also laughed: "What's the difference?"

Mother Lu said, "Ergou and Dazhu don't like her! She has been following Yiyi since she was a child!"

The younger sister of the Lu family looked at the complacent Lu Yiyi and yelled angrily: "Lu Xiaomei! Do you feel guilty? Don't be complacent. Who knows what will happen in the end!"

The Lu sisters were originally named Lu Xiaomei and Lu Xiaolan. Later, as the elder sister grew more and more beautiful, Lu's mother was persuaded by a stall owner who offered names for money at the market in the town to change Lu Xiaomei's name to Lu Yiyi.

The stall owner said that after changing the name, one would meet noble people, have happy events, and the whole family would benefit from it.

After Lu's mother came back and discussed with her husband, she changed Lu Xiaomei's name on the household registration, family tree, and family tree, hoping that her daughter would meet a noble man.

Although he has failed to get into the Dongyang Marquis' Mansion, marrying into the Yao family is enough to bring him face in the surrounding area.

Mother Lu said to Lu Xiaolan fiercely: "You did all those things! And you deliberately threw dirty water on your sister!

It's like this whether you admit it or not!"

After hearing this, Lu Xiaolan looked at her father, eldest brother, and second brother, and saw that they all had the same expression.

Although the different treatments over the years were clear, Lu Xiaolan did not expect that a woman's reputation could be sacrificed like this.

She was even made to bear the blame for slandering her own sister for misbehavior out of jealousy.

All the grievances she had suffered over the years were drowned in this indifference and the sacrifice that was taken for granted. She stood there alone, looking at these relatives.

The eldest sister-in-law went to fetch water by herself. She originally wanted to help, and was holding a shoulder pole and a wooden bucket in her hands, but now she threw the things on the ground.

I quit! Why?

Lu Xiaolan walked out of the house in tears, with her mother shouting behind her: "I'm going to die! Why did you smash the barrel? If you want to die, just die by yourself!"

She didn't walk far before she ran into her sister-in-law who was coming back from fetching water. Seeing her crying as she walked out, her sister-in-law quickly put down her bucket and shoulder pole and asked, "What happened?"

Lu Xiaolan told her sister-in-law about the matter, and her sister-in-law didn't expect that her parents-in-law, husband, and uncle would be so partial and snobbish.

She had always been poor at speaking, so she sat silently beside Xiaolan. The two of them leaned against the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, both feeling a little dazed.

Suddenly Lu Xiaolan said: "Sister-in-law, I'm leaving. There is always a place for me to stay in this house. I can't stay in this house anymore.

And... I won't let them have their way. Sister-in-law, take care of yourself. No one cares about you, so you should care about yourself."

Lu Xiaolan passed away. When the eldest sister-in-law was cooking that night, she was distracted frequently. The only person in the family who made her feel warm was gone.

But everyone in the room was eating, drinking, talking and laughing, as if the sister who had left home crying was not worth their while to go out and look for her.

The eldest sister-in-law only mentioned it once, and the mother-in-law said, "Looking for someone?! She's spoiled! She left in a tantrum, so she should come back and admit her mistake before letting her in."

The others were silent. As if that was the way it should be.

But they soon regretted not going out to look for someone today because Lu Xiaolan went to the Yao family.

She told the Yao family everything that happened, but she had no control over whether they believed it or not.

But she couldn't bear the blame silently.

The Yao family immediately asked someone to inquire about the matter. The Yao family had many connections in the local area, and they began to work hard in the old house of Marquis Dongyang, and they actually found out a lot.

Including the prince Han Zhang of Dongyang Marquis's Mansion, who planted two osmanthus trees with Lu Yiyi. As for how far the two of them have gone, no one can tell.

However, before Han Zhang left, his attitude towards Lu Yiyi suddenly changed and they cut off contact.

The Yao family originally had a very good impression of Lu Yiyi, who had outstanding looks, a gentle temperament, and was docile and polite.

Marrying a woman of lower status and marrying a woman of higher status, after all, the Yao family is not marrying the eldest daughter-in-law, so they are not so particular about matching the two families' social status.

Besides, the Lu family was really poor before, and they had only been doing this job of gatekeeping for a year. They had renovated their own house, bought many new things, and the family's clothes had improved a lot, so they didn't have to look bad when discussing marriage with the Yao family.

When the Yao family first heard the rumors, they asked a matchmaker to pass on a message, also wanting an explanation from the Lu family.

As a result, the plain-looking sister failed to seduce the prince, and became jealous of her sister, so she slandered her. I never thought that there would be such a bias in the world - to favor one daughter and trample on another.

The Yao family believed it.

But after Lu Xiaolan came to visit, the suspicious Yao family went to inquire again, and this time they could no longer remain calm.

The Yao family is considered to be prestigious in this small place. Isn't it a bit bullying for the Lu family to do this? Do they think everyone else can be bullied just because they have attached themselves to the Dongyang Marquis' Mansion?

The Yao family was also ruthless. The one who was originally going to marry Lu Yiyi was the second son of the Yao family, who was also impressed by Lu Yiyi's appearance.

Now the Yao family has quietly changed people. A young man from a remote branch also with the surname Yao is almost five generations away from the local wealthy Yao family. This young man with the surname Yao works on a farm and in the future he will at most be a farm head.

The Lu family and Lu Yiyi were completely unaware of this and were happily going through the wedding process step by step.
