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

Li Yu guessed that Yang Qiuyue and Han Xiuwu would not be together for long, unless Yang Qiuyue loved Han Xiuwu and the child so much that she was unwilling to leave.

But this possibility is slim.

It's not that she looks down on Yang Qiuyue, but she has met many people and has a deep understanding of Yang Qiuyue.

Yang Qiuyue couldn't bear to have no money and no land.

Li Yu thought that Yang Qiuyue would not be able to stay for a month, but she did not expect that Yang Qiuyue would come back for less than a day and ran away at dawn the next day with her clothes rolled up.

Early in the morning, the villagers gathered at Han Xiuwu's house to talk.

"She left in the morning. I went out to weed the fields and saw her running out of the village. I asked her what she was doing and she glared at me and said it was none of my business."

"She may not be leaving, right? What if she is just going back to her parents' home?"

"Is it necessary to bring so many clothes back to her parents' home? I think she just sees that Xiuwu is broke now and doesn't want to suffer with him."

"According to what you said, she must have gone to the old widower's house. He's the most brutal beater. Can she tolerate it?"

"Who knows what she's thinking? Anyway, I've opened my eyes. What kind of people are these? And this Xiuwu, look at him, when Xiuwen was alive and they hadn't separated, he looked so energetic. Now, he has white hair on his head."

Han Xiuwu sat on the doorstep, listening to the villagers' muttering with a numb expression.

Last night he knew that Yang Qiuyue was leaving, not because Yang Qiuyue told him, but because he guessed it. Before going to bed last night, Yang's mother came to their house and talked to Yang Qiuyue for more than half an hour. After she left, Yang Qiuyue ridiculed him in various ways, saying that he was poor, incompetent, and could not make a lot of money.

Her words were full of disgust, and he thought at that moment that she probably didn't want to live with him anymore.

Sure enough, she ran away today.

When she ran away in the morning, he was a little unwilling to give up and followed her secretly. When he saw that she really went to the old widower's house, he finally accepted the reality.

"Xiuwu, in my opinion, you should go and find Yang Qiuyue. Even though she is not a good person, she is the mother of your two children after all. The children are still so young. What will you do if she is not around?" A villager kindly reminded.

Han Xiuwu raised his eyes and said, "If she doesn't want to, forget it. I can take care of the child myself."

After saying that, Han Xiuwu stood up and closed the gate before anyone could react.

The people in the village looked at each other.

"He is so discouraged, he won't do anything stupid."

"It's a bit scary. Should we call the village chief to take a look?"

"I'll go call the village chief. He is a man, but he has been forced to this point. It's really a disgrace to us men."

Everyone was talking at once, and there was no intention of leaving.

*

Li Yu left early in the morning and didn't know about this. After selling the braised meat and returning to the village, he listened to everyone's discussion and realized that he had guessed right again.

"Xiuwu has locked himself and his two children at home for a long time. He refused to open the door even when the village chief went to see him. I don't know what's going on now." A villager said, his eyes unconsciously turning to Li Yu, "Xiuwen's wife, Xiuwu is Xiuwen's eldest brother after all, you really don't care about him?"

Li Yu: “?”

Smiling, Li Yu said, "We have already separated. I can't control his affairs."

The villager felt that Li Yu was too cold-hearted. "Separation is separation. Let's not talk about Xiuwen, let's talk about Han Zheng and Xiaomei. They are connected to Xiuwu by blood. How can you really ignore them? Xiuwen's wife, I'm not saying that you really are..."

"My second sister-in-law's opinion is what my third brother and I think." Han Xiaomei suddenly stood in front of Li Yu and glared at the villager who was talking. "When Yang Qiuyue wanted to kill my second sister-in-law, third brother and me, why didn't you stand up and let Han Xiuwu persuade Yang Qiuyue to let us go? Now you are pretending to be a good person. If you want to help Han Xiuwu, go and help him!"

Villager: "..."

Han Xiaomei: "It's none of your business to interfere in our family affairs!"

"Xiaomei, don't say too much to irrelevant people." Li Yu pulled Han Xiaomei home, "Some people are just hypocritical. They never feel pain unless the knife cuts themselves."

Han Xiaomei said angrily: "I will quarrel with anyone who comes here again."

Li Yu smiled: "Okay, I'll wait and see you quarrel. But..."

She paused and said, "Yang Qiuyue has already left. If you want to help him, go ahead. I won't stop you and I won't blame you."

Han Xiaomei stood still for a while, and said in a dull voice: "I won't help."

*

Han Zheng only found out about Yang Qiuyue and Han Xiuwu after school in the afternoon. He sat in the main hall for a while, then suddenly stood up and said, "Second sister-in-law, I'll go over there and take a look."

Li Yu: "Well, come back early for dinner."

Han Xiaomei walked out the door and called Han Zheng, "Don't you remember how he treated us before?"

Han Zheng turned his head and said, "I remember everything."

"Then why are you still going to see him!" Han Xiaomei's eyes were red. "He is pitiful now, but he asked for it."

Han Zheng looked at her calmly, "I am going there today on behalf of my parents. If they knew about this, they would not want to see him like this. As for the rest, I won't say more to him." After all, Han Xiuwu's previous actions had exhausted their brotherhood.

Han Xiaomei: “….”

Han Zheng nodded to Li Yu and walked out.

Li Yu looked at it for a while, then turned around and hugged Han Xiaomei and went into the house: "Tell your second sister-in-law what you want to eat tonight and she will make it for you."

Han Xiaomei was reluctant to let her suffer, so she said, "I'll do it, you can take a rest, sister-in-law."

Li Yu watched her walk into the kitchen, sit on a chair and pour herself a glass of water.

*

Han Zheng came back when it was dark.

While serving the porridge, Li Yu asked him about Han Xiuwu.

"He is still the same. Anyway, I have said what I need to say. The rest is up to him." Han Zheng looked at Li Yu and said, "It will be the same as before. His affairs have nothing to do with me."

Li Yu nodded.

*

In the next few days, the matter of Han Xiuwu and Yang Qiuyue continued to cause widespread discussion in the village, and Li Yu no longer participated in it.

The reason she paid attention to them before was because these two people caused her a lot of trouble and she wanted to see what would happen to them.

Now that we know the result, there is no need to pay too much attention to it.

After selling the braised meat that day, Li Yu returned to the village and first went to the courtyard to check on Pei Mingzhu and her account book.

Pei Mingzhu understood the ways of the world better than other girls of her age. She knew that Aunt Wu and her friends had recipes for the snacks they made, so she rarely left the house. If she wanted to go out, she would inform them in advance.

Li Yu looked through the account book twice and saw that there were no data errors. He nodded with satisfaction and then pointed out a few small details that could be modified.

Pei Mingzhu agreed to all of them. After a while, she saw Li Yu was about to leave, so she quickly called her back, "Boss Li, there will be a temple fair in Huangzhu Town on the 16th of this month. I want to buy a few buckets of jelly from you to sell that day."

Li Yu thought for a moment and said, "I am willing to sell it to you, but this business is between several people. You can ask the others. If they have no objection, then you can buy it. One more thing, you don't have to call me Boss Li in the future. Just call me Sister Li."

I didn't think anything of it when I heard people calling him Boss Li outside, but when Pei Mingzhu called him that in the yard, I felt it was weird, so I simply changed it.

Pei Mingzhu nodded heavily.

Coming out of the courtyard, Li Yu thought about the temple fair in Huangzhu Town as he walked.

The Huangzhu Town Temple Fair is the largest temple fair in the entire Jiangyang County. She must go this year, but not to sell things, but to buy things.

She wants to buy a donkey to facilitate her business in the future.

As for the number of people going, Han Xiaomei will definitely go, but as for Han Zheng, he probably won’t have time.
