Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

In the fifth year of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, on the second day of the first lunar month, it is a good time to go out.

Snowflakes are floating in the sky, like nimble white elves, dancing slowly in the air, and then falling on branches or roofs, and blending into the snow in the next second.

Yan Yiyi was wearing a fiery red cloak, looking as gorgeous as fire, becoming the most eye-catching presence in the snow scene.

Xin Ye wore a dark red brocade robe and chose the most common white cloak, which instead brought out his graceful figure and added a touch of coolness and elegance.

Chen Youyou brought her family back to her parents' home. Her parents were no longer around, so it was acceptable for her not to go back for the New Year as long as she gave them a New Year gift. She hadn't been back for the New Year for four or five years. If her daughter hadn't had a wedding before and none of her family members had been able to go, and if someone hadn't deliberately thrown dirty water on the Hua family, she wouldn't have made this trip.

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Chen's mansion. Seeing this, the gatekeeper hurried to inform the housekeeper. The housekeeper immediately told him to inform the master, and he went to greet the young lady in person, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

The housekeeper bent over and smiled flatteringly: "Welcome back, Miss, son-in-law, young master, young lady, and son-in-law."

Chen Youyou nodded slightly and was led to the front hall by the housekeeper.

At this time, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen, who had learned the news, were already waiting in the front hall. Mr. Chen relied on the fact that he was Chen Youyou's biological brother and acted like an elder brother, and did not go out to greet Chen Youyou and the others.

Mrs. Chen didn't dare to act arrogant. After all, she knew exactly what her husband was planning. Besides, given the Chen family's current situation, how could they have the qualifications to challenge the Hua family?

If a man wants to save face, doesn't that mean she needs to lower herself to please him?

Mrs. Chen had many complaints in her heart, but for the sake of benefit, she endured it and greeted them with a smile: "Big sister, eldest son-in-law, Mu Rong, Mu Xin, Mu Yu, Yi Yi, and this one is the new son-in-law, I don't know what to call him?

The new son-in-law is handsome and outstanding, and he and our Yi Yi are a perfect match."

It was Chinese New Year, and since Chen Youyou was going to make this trip, she would not hesitate to let the children call people, and introduced them to Xin Ye: "These two are my eldest brother and his wife, you can call them uncle and aunt.

"Brother, sister-in-law, this is our Yi Yi's husband. His last name is Li. You can just call him Uncle Li." Anyway, they are not that close, so this name is just right. Anyway, they don't have the courage to call their husbands by their names, so they all call him Uncle Li.

Mrs. Chen choked and forced a smile. Xin Ye was a man who could bend and stretch and act. He politely gave the two of them a junior greeting: "Greetings, uncle and aunt."

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen's attitude became less rigid: "I'm really sorry, our whole family was sick on the day you and Yi Yi got married, so it was inconvenient for us to drag our sick bodies to attend your wedding."

Without waiting for Xin Ye to respond, Chen Youyou took the lead and said, "It's okay, my son-in-law is generous, and it's the same for changing the red envelope now."

Mrs. Chen guessed that Chen Youyou would be difficult to deal with. Fortunately, she was smart and prepared a few more red envelopes. She put the red envelopes in the hands of Xin Ye and Yan Yiyi: "Aunt wishes you a happy marriage and a son soon."

"Thank you, aunt." They said in unison. Xin Ye habitually handed the red envelope he received to Yan Yiyi, who put it in his pocket without hesitation.

Watching the interaction between the two, Mrs. Chen chuckled: "Yi Yi is still as overbearing as before. Before she got married and grew up, she loved to take red envelopes from her older and younger brothers. Now that her status is different, Yi Yi should be more cautious."

Without waiting for Yan Yiyi to speak, Xin Ye smiled dotingly: "In our family, my daughter-in-law is the housekeeper. Naturally, all the money should be handed over to my daughter-in-law. She only needs to take care of my food, drink, shelter and transportation. I don't need to carry money with me."

Hearing this, Master Chen couldn't sit still any longer: "You don't care about the money? Then what about your prescriptions?"

"My second brother is the one who makes the most money in the family. Naturally, I should give all the recipes to him so that he can get more benefits. If I keep them in my hands, I will not turn the recipes into a steady stream of silver."

With just one sentence, the couple was stopped from saying anything before they could even open their mouths. Some words once spoken could not be taken back. He didn't know whether his mother-in-law was planning to break up with them today, so he still left a way out.

The Hua family members are not stupid, and Master Chen's words exposed their thoughts.

Chen Youyou's face darkened. The big brother in front of her was eating more and more ugly. Where did they get the face and qualifications to think they could take advantage of A Ye?

Do you think he is just a country bumpkin who knows nothing and is easy to fool?

When their Hua family members are dead!

When Mrs. Chen met Chen Youyou's gaze, which looked as if she wanted to skin them alive, she felt a chill on her back and quietly tugged at Mr. Chen's sleeve, signaling him not to continue.

But Mr. Chen had finally waited for the day when his sister would come home. Especially since this new son-in-law looked so naive and easy to be fooled, if they missed this opportunity, their Chen family would never have a chance to turn things around!

The Hua family's business is already making a fortune, and a few more prescriptions are just icing on the cake. But for the Chen family, it is a good strategy to revive the family, and he will never back down.

"Big sister, what good will it do you to see our Chen family defeated?" Master Chen stared at Chen Youyou with a burning gaze, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Chen Youyou curled her lips and sneered. There was no benefit, but it was quite refreshing and comfortable.

Hua Murong couldn't stand him bullying her mother, so she smiled coldly: "Uncle, are you threatening my mother to work for your Chen family?

I still remember that when I was five years old, you told my mother that a daughter who is married off is like spilled water, and that a daughter from another family should not interfere in her mother’s family affairs.

Mrs. Chen saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly said, "This... is all in the past. We should all look forward, right?"

At this time, the housekeeper led the family over: "Master, Madam, it's the fourth young lady and the fourth uncle, as well as several young masters and young ladies who have returned home."

"Wow~ What a rare guest! I didn't expect that the elder sister would come back so early this year?" A gorgeously dressed woman walked over, followed by two boys, three girls, and a young man who looked younger than the woman.

Chen Youyou sneered and glanced at the woman and the man beside him with disdain: "Oh, I have a new brother-in-law? This one looks very unfamiliar."

The woman's mouth froze: "That's my sister's fault. I never visit my sister and brother-in-law at the Hua Mansion on weekdays. After the New Year, I will definitely visit them." As she spoke, her eyes involuntarily glanced at Hua Feifan who was standing next to Chen Youyou.

"No, you are not welcome in our house." Chen Youyou said decisively. She looked down on this half-sister who changed men as diligently as she changed clothes.

The woman didn't take Chen Youyou's rejection to heart at all, and looked indifferent, obviously having expected her to refuse.
