Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Liu Yan suspected that she had heard it wrong.

Yesterday morning when her father and brother went to the Han family to force Han Sheng to get engaged to her, Han Sheng was still fine. It's only been one day, how could he become lame?

Liu Yan felt that this was an excuse given by Han's mother because she didn't want her to get engaged to Han Sheng.

But what if it's true?

She doesn't want to marry a cripple!

Liu Yan couldn't think of what to say for a moment. Her mother said, "No way, is Han Sheng in trouble? I have to go and see him. It's not good for him to be lame at such a young age."

Mother Han knew that she was suspicious, but she was not panicked. She followed Li Yu's instructions and continued to flatter her, "The injury from giving birth is not serious, so there is no need to trouble the in-laws to make another trip. It's getting late, so let's settle the marriages for the two children first."

"No rush. Since it's Han Sheng and Liu Yan's marriage, we wouldn't want Han Sheng not to come." Liu's mother's idea was similar to Liu Yan's at first, but seeing Han's mother looking anxious to get engaged, she became uncertain again.

After rolling her eyes twice, Mother Liu said, "Today is not the best day. The eighth day is. It is decided. We will get engaged on the eighth day. I will go and see what is going on with Han Sheng today."

Han's mother looked anxious and tried to stop her: "Han Sheng is... is..."

After talking for a long time, she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Liu Mu, Liu Yan: "......"

At noon, the four members of the Liu family rushed into Qingshui Village to see if Han Sheng was lame.

In order to prevent Han Sheng from cheating, they planned to directly press Han Sheng's legs to examine him.

However, before reaching the door of Han's house, Han Xiaocao's pleading voice was heard: "Sister Li, although my brother is lame, he can still work, please let him continue to work in your house."

Li Yu stood with his back to the door and spoke coldly, "I won't hire someone like him to help me. If something goes wrong, I will have to pay for everything. Xiaocao, I know you feel sorry for your brother, but I'm just a businessman. I can't help you."

Han Xiaocao cried heartbreakingly, "If you don't give my brother work, no one else will. Sister Li, are you going to watch our family starve to death? The doctor said that my brother's leg treatment will cost dozens of taels of silver. If he can't work, his leg will only continue to deteriorate."

Li Yu sighed, "I sympathize with you, but I really can't help you. And let me advise you, dozens of taels of silver are too much. You should just give up. Anyway, his legs can't be used normally, so what does it matter whether he sees a doctor or not?"

"Sister Li..."

"Xiao Cao, if you do this again, you won't have to work for me anymore."

After saying that, Li Yu no longer paid attention to Han Xiaocao and walked out of the Han family courtyard, shaking his sleeves.

Outside the courtyard, the Liu family members looked gloomy.

When Li Yu saw them, he left coldly without even saying hello.

"My dear relatives, it's cold, please come in and have some tea." Han's mother smiled and invited the Liu family in.

Liu Yan pulled Liu Mu's arm, and Liu Mu said, "It's getting late, we won't go in."

Han's mother: "You've walked for such a long time, come inside and take a rest, especially Liu Yan, you can talk to Han Sheng, he will be happier."

Mother Liu snorted, "You can't say that. Our Yan'er is still a virgin. It's not okay for her to talk to Han Sheng alone."

"They are about to get engaged, so it doesn't hurt to say a few words." Han's mother said with a tearful tone, "Han Sheng will rely on Liu Yan to take care of him from now on."

Liu family: "......"

"By the way, there is also the engagement." Han's mother said: "The eighth day is indeed a good day, I..."

"I remembered that I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first." Without waiting for Han's mother to finish, Liu's mother pulled Liu Yan away, and Liu Yan's father and brother followed behind without saying a word.

They walked very fast, as if a dog was chasing them.

Mother Han looked at their backs, and the heavy stone in her heart finally moved away.

The Liu family probably won't want to get engaged to Han Sheng anymore.

The Han family's issue was resolved. Not far away, Aunt Wu, Han Xiaomei, Li Xiangyun and her husband, and the village chief's family withdrew their hands.

In order to prevent failure, Li Yu only told these few people about this matter.

Among them, Uncle Wu was responsible for observation and tip-off. He hid behind a big tree opposite the Han family. When the Liu family was about to reach the door of the Han family, he imitated the bird's call to remind Li Yu and Han Xiaocao to start the performance.

Aunt Wu, Han Xiaomei, Li Xiangyun and her husband, and the village chief's family were responsible for stopping the villagers.

Because Li Yu played a heartless and ungrateful person in this play, in order to protect Li Yu's reputation, Aunt Wu came up with a plan to stop all the villagers and only let the Liu family watch the play.

The performance was now complete, so there was no need to stop the villagers.

The villagers were naturally confused about being stopped, but since the village chief was there, they didn't dare speak loudly and only discussed in a low voice.

"What's wrong with the village chief? We are not causing any trouble, so why don't you let us go to the Han family?"

"That's really weird, I wonder what you're thinking?"

"Are you afraid that Han Sheng will feel embarrassed? Just think about it, Han Sheng is lame, he must be extremely sad now, and seeing us with normal legs and feet, it is inevitable that he will be sad."

"This should be!"

The villagers were talking in a low voice, and Aunt Wu heard it, and she felt relieved. As long as it didn't hurt Li Yu's reputation, she could guess whatever she wanted.

In order to prove the fact that Han Sheng had a lame leg, Li Yu asked Han Sheng to continue pretending to be lame, and asked Han's mother to go to the Liu family to propose marriage as usual on the eighth day of the first lunar month.

Han's mother understood the importance of putting on a good show, so early in the morning on the eighth day of the first lunar month, she led a group of people to the Liu family.

As they expected, the Liu family was unwilling.

"You're dreaming to let a cripple like him get engaged to me. I would rather die than marry him!" Liu Yan glared at Han's mother with disgust on her face.

Han's mother burst into tears, "Aren't you interested in Han Sheng?"

"Han Sheng's mother, you can't say that." Liu's mother's sharp voice rang out in the courtyard, "Our Yan'er is innocent, you can't tarnish her reputation for your son."

"But you guys clearly said you were going to get engaged a few days ago."

"We didn't tell you this a few days ago. You must have heard it wrong." Liu's mother winked at her husband and son, and they immediately stepped forward and pushed Liu's mother out of the door, then slammed the gate shut.

The people of Qingshui Village supported Han's mother, not knowing what to say.

Finally, Aunt Wu said, "A forced melon is not sweet. If they don't want to, forget it. I'll find a better one for Brother Sheng later."

Han's mother covered her face and sobbed.

Liu family.

Hearing the footsteps of people leaving, Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Mom, they won't come again in the future."

"I don't know either. It's better to arrange a marriage for you first and settle it down." Liu's mother thought of the Han family and felt that it was necessary to find a family for Liu Yan as soon as possible, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with if the Han family kept pestering her.

She also hoped that Liu Yan would ask for more dowry when she got married so that she could build a big brick and tile house for her son.

The Liu family never came to Qingshui Village again.

A few days later, Li Yu heard that Liu Yan was engaged to a man from their village.

On the third day after Liu Yan's engagement, the doctor entered Han's house and brought back good news: someone brought a herb from Ningguo, next to Dayu Dynasty, which was very effective in treating Han Sheng's legs, and Han Sheng could be saved.

The villagers were shocked and discussed the matter secretly.

Li Yu didn't care about the villagers' situation. She was shopping for New Year's goods.
