I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

The Bai family rented Ji Xiaobei's shop and specialized in selling clothing materials from Zhengguo Shop.

Zhengguo's shop also sold him a lot of cloth shipped from the south.

The Bai family is good at doing business and can earn back a year’s rent in just two or three months.

Uncle Bai and Bai Jiantang delivered the rent to Liang Yuyao and sent it to Anzhou.

Uncle Bai met Ji Rulan.

She was delighted because her eldest grandson, Bai Jiantang's eldest son, was about the same age as Rulan and had reached the age for marriage.

I didn’t expect that I had the same idea as Bai Jiantang.

At the beginning, Bai Jiantang fell in love with Liang Yuyao and wanted to marry her home. The old lady of the Bai family also wanted to bring Bai Jiantang and Liang Yuyao together.

But Liang Yuyao felt uneasy.

After Liang Yuyao married Shitou, Bai Jiantang was depressed for a long time until they got married.

When he saw Rulan from Liang Yuyao's family just now, he felt that the girl was well-educated and very likable.

But Bai Jiantang was afraid of marrying into the Ji family.

Although the Ji family is a business family, Rulan's aunt Ji Xiaobei is a member of the royal family.

Fu Jichang was the Prime Minister, and Ji Xiaobei was Princess Beishanchang, both of them were people with connections and influence, and he really felt that he was marrying above his station.

Ji Xiaobei knows so many dignitaries, he will definitely be able to find a family with prominent family background for Rulan.

Uncle Bai did not give up and found an opportunity to tell Liang Yuyao about his thoughts.

Liang Yuyao did not refuse, but just said, let the two children meet each other, and if they are interested in each other, then it will be fine.

Bai Jiantang and his wife are nice people.

Besides, with the support of her mother's family, the Bai family didn't dare to bully Rulan.

Liang Yuyao took Rulan to the capital and arrived at Fu Mansion.

In the past, my niece always came alone, but this time Liang Yuyao came with her, so she must have something to do.

Sure enough, Liang Yuyao told the story about the Bai family.

Ji Xiaobei nodded and said, "Okay, I know you well, as long as Rulan agrees."

Ji Xiaobei held a family dinner at Fu's house and invited the Bai family to come for dinner.

Mrs. Bai and Bai Jiantang came with Bai Feng.

Rulan has a good impression of her cousin.

Ji Xiaobei was also very satisfied. The young man was fair and clean-looking and was studying in a school in the capital.

The marriage was decided soon after.

Liang Yuyao's worries were also relieved.

Not long after Rulan got married, Liang Yuyao fell ill.

He kept coughing, couldn't eat, and became increasingly thinner.

After hearing about it, Ji Xiaobei took Huang Po to see her.

Grandma Huang smiled and looked at him: "Madam, you are weak and the weather is cold. I will prescribe some medicine for you. Take good care of yourself and you will be fine in the spring."

Xiaohua thought that everything was really fine when Huang Po spoke so calmly.

She touched her sister-in-law's hand and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about Huang Po's treatment. You just miss Rulan. When I am free one day, I will go to her shop to find her and bring her back to see you."

Liang Yu smiled and nodded.

"You, don't worry about your sister-in-law. Why hasn't your marriage been decided yet? Rulan, the girl you raised, is married, but you are still single. How can this be a disgrace?"

"Sister-in-law, I told you, I want to be an old maid. I will learn from Huang Po for the rest of my life."

Xiaohua said with a deliberately stern face.

This little sister has been stubborn since she was young. Now she is already 20 years old, and is really an old maid. She is really worrying her family to death.

Mrs. Lin can't mention Xiaohua now, as she gets a headache whenever she mentions her.

When people came out of Liang Yu's room, Xiaohua's face suddenly fell.

He took Mrs. Huang to the next room.

Seeing this, Ji Xiaobei's heart skipped a beat, and Shitou quickly followed him in.

"Mrs. Huang, my sister-in-law's illness..." Xiaohua asked anxiously.

Shitou shuddered and asked, "Hua, is your sister-in-law's illness getting better?"

Grandma Huang sighed and said, "Shitou, you should be prepared for Yuyao's illness. The medicine I'm prescribing now is all tonic. Her illness is not easy to cure."

"Ah..." Ji Xiaobei was also startled.

"Tuberculosis... and she was too weak and worried too much..."

Mrs. Huang shook her head.

Shitou stared at Huang Po blankly and shook his head in disbelief. "That's impossible, Huang Po, please take another good look at her."

Ji Xiaobei supported his trembling body.

"I'll ask your brother-in-law to ask the imperial physician to see her, but what Huang Po said is almost right, so you still have to be prepared."

Ji Xiaobei said.

At the end of the year, Rulan received good news that she was pregnant.

Liang Yuyao didn't let her family tell Rulan that she was seriously ill.

In her current condition, she cannot pass the disease on to Rulan.

With this good news, Liang Yuyao's spirits actually improved.

Shitou said, "Take good care of yourself. After the New Year and the beginning of spring, we will go to the capital to see Rulan."

Liang Yuyao smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if I can hold on until then."

Shitou swallowed his tears and said, "What are you talking about? When our eldest grandson is born, we will go to celebrate his full moon."

"Shi Tou, help me up!"

Shitou helped Liang Yuyao up and walked to the dressing table. Liang Yuyao sat at the table, and Shitou hurriedly took the bronze mirror away.

He was afraid that Liang Yuyao would be sad seeing his appearance.

She took out an exquisite little box from the innermost part of her dressing table.

It opened with a snap, and the room was suddenly filled with light.

"This bead is the dowry left by my mother. Now there are only three beads left. This one is the biggest and brightest. When my grandson is one month old, you can give it to him. There are two beads left for my two daughters-in-law."

After Liang Yuyao finished saying these words, he was sweating from exhaustion.

"Okay, I understand. When the baby is one month old, you can come and give it to him. Go up and rest first."

Shitou complained as he carried her to the bed.

He wanted to let her go, but Liang Yuyao hugged his neck tightly.

"Shi Tou, Shi Tou, I'm so cold..." Liang Yuyao's weak voice fell into Shi Tou's eardrum.

"Cold? Yao'er, let me cover you with a blanket..."

Shitou wanted to hold her hand.

Liang Yuyao refused to let go and still held him.

Shitou simply sat on the bed and held her tightly in his arms.

"It won't be cold this way, Yaoer." Shitou's tears fell.

"Shitou, I'm so scared. The water in the river is so cold and dark. I'm so scared...Shitou..."

"Ah... Yuyao, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Shitou coaxed her gently, but he felt the two arms around his neck drooping down.

"Yu Yao..." Shi Tou shouted in a lost voice.

Liang Yuyao was shaking in his arms, breathing weakly. Shitou leaned down and got close to her mouth before he could barely hear what she said.

"Shi Tou, I don't want to leave. I will marry you in the next life. After I am gone, you can find another woman to take care of us and treat the children well..."

"Ah... Yuyao, Yuyao, I don't want other women, I only want you, I will treat the children well and love them well..."

The person in my arms has closed his eyes...

People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, the moon waxes and wanes, it is impossible to have everything in life...
