The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

Before Liang Shulan could finish her words, Yu Shi shyly interrupted her.

"Mother! It's not what you think. Miss Seventeen and I have nothing, let alone any physical contact. I was just trying to escape along the way, so I didn't think too much. It's just that Seventeen's parents died tragically at the hands of those people because of me. Miss Seventeen and her brother came all the way to seek refuge with me, and supported me all the way, so... so..."

"So you want to pledge yourself to her?" Yu Ruyue continued, "Brother, what era is this now? It's no longer acceptable to resort to trickery and promises of love. Just tell me whether you like that girl or not."

Yu Shi thought for a moment, "Maybe he likes me. Miss Seventeen is innocent, romantic, and righteous. She saved me, and her parents died because of me. She and her brother came all the way with me, and he took good care of me along the way."

Yu Ruyue was speechless after hearing what her eldest brother said. "Two people saved you together. Why are you only repaying the woman for saving your life? Why don't you repay the man for saving your life?"

"If you promise to marry me, then why don't you marry them both?"

Yu Shi's face was filled with surprise. "What nonsense are you talking about, sister? How can a man and a man do this? Seventeenth Miss has been very enthusiastic towards me along the way. She was the one who expressed her feelings to me first, so I thought it would be better if we got married. That way, I can protect her for the rest of her life!"

"As for the fifteenth, you can also find him a job. When he gets married and has children, you can add some more betrothal gifts as a way of repaying him."

Seeing Yu Shi like this, Yu Ruyue and Liang Shulan always felt that he was in a passive position in this relationship. It was probably because after the girl expressed her feelings, he subconsciously thought that he should be with her, but in fact, he didn't know his own feelings at all. Did he like her or not?

The two of them didn't say much, but let him have a good rest and then left.

But after coming out, the two of them looked a little sad.

"Mother! I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on what it is. Big brother has been deceived by women twice. If he is deceived for the third time this time, I am afraid that Big Brother will live out his life alone."

"It's not convenient for me to go down the mountain now. Why don't you and Dad go down with Big Brother to take a look."

"If she's truly a good girl and truly loves you, then give them some time to get along and see if they're a good match. Don't let them end up being a couple of enemies before you've managed to repay her for saving your life!"

"If the two of them don't have any feelings for each other, then give them more money and find them a job, or give them a shop so that they won't have any problems making a living in the future. When they get married, give them more money, or even just recognize them as godparents. That would be considered a way of repaying the favor."

Liang Shulan nodded solemnly. Her eldest son's love life was a bit too difficult, and as a mother, she must help and keep an eye on things!

So the next day, the three members of the Yu family came to the door of an inn with generous gifts!

When Yu Dehou and Liang Shulan saw the brother and sister, they felt that they were very dignified and did not seem like hunters in the mountains.

And judging from the way they talked, they didn't seem to be uneducated.

"Miss Seventeen! Mr. Fifteen! Thank you so much for saving my son. This is a thank-you gift from my husband and I. I hope you don't mind it. After all, we are just a farming family and don't have much."

Seventeen took the small box with a smile and opened it. He found three silver ingots, weighing about 3 taels, and a set of gold head masks. Although there were no gems inlaid on them, it was already very good for an ordinary farmer!

Then there were some silver products and a dagger. The dagger was very delicately made, especially the end of the dagger, which was inlaid with a small emerald. It was the most expensive one here.

But for Yu Dehou and Liang Shulan, this is the most they can do.

Seventeen and Fifteen looked at the contents of the box, and a look of disgust flashed in their eyes.

Even touching it feels cheap.

These are actually the goddess’ family?

That goddess has so many strange abilities and a husband who is a general, how could she have such little wealth?

Moreover, they have not been idle these past few days. They have been exploring the situation here. The Yu family lives in such a big house, but they arranged them in this small inn. Their son-in-law, a general, even bought a shop on the street. But these two people are so stingy?

They saved his eldest son. Not only should he not invite them into the mansion, but he should at least give them two shops or tens of thousands of taels as a thank you!

Even the things in the box were so shabby that their masters felt the reward was too shabby for their servants.

The three members of the Yu family felt that the air seemed a little stagnant. When these two saw these gifts, they didn't seem happy at all, but rather looked a little disgusted?

All the things in here weigh more than one hundred taels!

Is this really the Hunter's child?

Moreover, it’s not that Yu Dehou and Liang Shulan are stingy. The old couple really don’t have much money. Before fleeing the famine, although they made some money with the help of their daughter, they later bought food!

They even lost some of their food when they were robbed by bandits. If it weren't for their daughter, their family of four would have really starved. Although they later used the seeds given by their daughter to grow crops, it was only enough to satisfy themselves.

The money their daughter gave them was used to buy land and saplings, and they also had to give money to those who helped. Weak women like Yilan and Mengdie helped them farm and plant fruit trees, and they were very tired every day. They really wanted one person to do the work of two people, but of course they couldn't let them work for nothing!

Adding in other miscellaneous expenses, they are actually very poor, and all the money they spend is their daughter's.

Although Yu Shi and Yu Tian had jobs and sent back some things from time to time, they did not use them and kept them for them to use when they got married.

The silver and money they could take out now was the last savings of the old couple. The headgear and dagger were the better ones chosen from the things Yu Shi had brought back over the years.

They can't possibly spend the betrothal gift sent by their son-in-law, right?

Even if Yu Ruyue was willing, they wouldn't be willing...

Finally, Yu Shi coughed twice and said awkwardly, "If you don't like it, you can exchange those things for silver."

Seventeen and Fifteen forced a smile upon hearing this and said, "I like it!"

Although Yu Shi felt a little embarrassed, he did not think the gift was too little. After all, an ordinary farmer's annual income was only two or three taels. When he was in Old Yu's family, because he had many sons, he could earn almost four taels a year, which was the best he could earn!

Even a skilled hunter could only earn five taels of silver a year at most, and that was earned at the risk of his life!

He felt embarrassed because he felt that as a man of integrity, he had been busy for several years but had not made much money and still needed his parents to pay for it...
