The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby
Chapter 72: Specializing in deceiving fools.
When Yu Shi heard this, the pain in his heart, which had been stabbing like needles, suddenly disappeared. Instead, he felt a little angry. "What do you mean by that? What's wrong with my sister? My sister is the best girl in the world!"
"If it weren't for my sister, I wouldn't have enough to eat, enough clothes to wear, or even be dead. To support my brother and me in our studies, she got up early and worked late to prepare meals. She was so tired that she became small, dark, and thin, and she still had to put on a smile every day!"
"Zhou Huan! All the money belongs to my sister and has nothing to do with me. I really can't afford 20 taels of silver!"
"You should consider other talented men. My family is poor and I'm old. I'm really not worthy of you. Most importantly, I don't want to marry a wife who looks down on my sister from the bottom of her heart."
Yu Shi's words warmed the hearts of the three members of the Yu family. Yu Ruyue never expected that her eldest brother, who was always taciturn, actually had such a high opinion of her in his heart. The sentence about her being small, dark and thin was unnecessary.
Zhou Huan hadn't expected Shen Chou to react so violently. She was so frightened that she held back her tears. She grabbed Yu Shi, who was about to turn around and leave, and explained in a panic, "Brother Shi! I don't mean to look down on Sister Ruyue!"
"I just wanted to be with you so much that I said something without thinking."
"If I really wanted to be with those people, I wouldn't have risked coming to you!"
Zhou Huan is the person Yu Shi has liked for many years, but his father doesn't love him, his mother doesn't love him, his grandparents despise him, and his family is poor. He can only hide his feelings deep in his heart and silently watch her getting closer and closer to another man. He is anxious in his heart, but he can do nothing.
It wasn't until he escaped from that hellhole and his life gradually improved that he mustered up the courage to talk to Zhou Huan. Unexpectedly, Zhou Huan had also been secretly attracted to him and even came to talk to him about marriage...
He finally softened his heart and turned around, looking at Zhou Huan with a firm gaze, and promised: "Don't worry, even if I go to town to study, I will only be devoted to you. I won't be poor forever. Now my sister pays me every day. Just wait for me, I will marry you into my family in a grand ceremony and let you live a good life forever."
Although these words sounded like empty promises, Yu Ruyue knew that Yu Shi was just weak in character, but definitely not a fickle person, so Zhou Huan didn't need to worry.
And with her around, Yu Shi will never be poor in the future.
But Zhou Huan didn't believe in that big pie. She kept so many men hanging around just to get more betrothal gifts to supplement the family income.
Before, the person she looked down upon the most was Yu Shi, but now Yu Shi is the only one who lives the best life, so she expressed her feelings and wanted to slowly control him.
But who could have thought that Yu Shi was actually going to study in town. She was afraid that Yu Shi's horizons would broaden and he would look down on her, so she came over in a hurry to force him.
However, this trick didn't seem to work, and it might even backfire, so she started wiping her tears again and said, "Actually, I don't really need the 20 taels of silver. It's just that you know my family's situation. My parents said that if you can't come up with the money, they'll marry me off to the man in town who can come up with 50 taels of silver. But I don't like him. I only like you, so I asked you to come over and find a solution."
"Brother Shi...I really like you and I really don't want to leave you."
"Why don't you go talk to your family and tell them that you don't want to go to school in town anymore? They'll stop wasting money and just give it to you to get married, right?"
After listening for such a long time, Yu Ruyue and the other two finally understood that this was a trick designed to fool fools!
Forget it. The three of them didn't plan to listen any further and drove the ox cart back home from the side road. When they got back, the food was already prepared.
Yu Ruyue took advantage of the moonlight to take out the wild boar from the space.
When Shen Chou and Yu Tian walked out of the house, they were frightened by the bloody wild boar.
Just then, Yu Shi pushed the door open with a worried look on his face. Yu Dehou stepped forward, hugged Yu Shi with one hand and Yu Tian with the other, and cried, "My two precious sons, you almost couldn't see your father!"
"We went up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables to improve our family's meals, but we encountered a wild boar! The boar attacked us by surprise, and its sharp tusks almost pierced through my stomach. It was really scary."
"Luckily, your mother and your sister were smart. We survived a near-death experience and finally managed to subdue this wild boar. Otherwise, tomorrow would have been your father's and my funeral."
"So you two must study hard and strive to improve yourself. Don't be like your father and me. We have no ability at all and have to rely on our married daughters to support the whole family. We even take our daughters and children on adventures in the mountains just to make a little more money."
For the first time, Yu Tian felt the warmth of his father's embrace. He never expected that his always optimistic father would have so much pain in his heart. He secretly made up his mind to study hard and make a name for himself so that he could repay the kindness of his parents and sister.
Yu Shi's heart was even more complicated. He had just promised Zhou Huan that he would come back and discuss with his parents and sister that he would not go to school, and then use the money for his studies to let him get married.
Now, hearing my father's sobbing, I felt my face flush. Where did he get the nerve to actually ask my sister to pay for his marriage?
His sister didn't owe him anything. She was even married, a woman from another family, and she had to support them. She also had to risk her life to make a living in the mountains...
But what should Zhou Huan do? He really loves her and wants to spend his whole life with her. If he doesn't have money, Zhou Huan will marry someone else, a stranger she doesn't like...
Boom boom boom!
The hurried knock on the door outside interrupted Yu Shi's thoughts and also interrupted Yu Dehou's complaints.
"Yu Laosi, get out here!"
"You are a bastard with a black heart and rotten lungs, with sores on your head and pus oozing from your feet. How could you be so cruel as to send your nephew to jail?"
"Isn't it just to eat some of your food and beat up those two little beasts?"
"This is outrageous! Those two little bastards actually dared to fight back!? They should be beaten to death and then give me all the money! Hurry and open the door, or don't blame me for being rude."
