90s: Koi beauty reborn and became rich

As for the new bride of the Yi family, Yi Guiliang had also heard of it.

Wu Guiyue has been married to Qiaoshan Village for more than a year. When she meets her elders, she is always sweet-mouthed and speaks nicer than anyone else.

Unfortunately, as time went by, people gradually discovered that she was all talk and no action, that she said one thing in public but did another, that she was idle all day long, and that she was not very nice to her brothers and sisters at home.

Yi Guiliang couldn't help but think in that direction.

Yi Congxin suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart, which was the remaining emotion of the original owner.

She did not directly answer the old village chief's words.

In this afternoon's scene, although Yan Silan was the one who kept stirring up trouble, the eldest sister-in-law and second sister who had been hiding in the inner room watching the fun must have been planning to marry her off in exchange for a dowry.

Now the eldest sister-in-law is actually the head of the family, but Wu Guiyue has never stood up to say a fair word for the original owner.

The sister-in-law clearly knew from the beginning that the original owner did not want to get married so early, and especially did not want to marry that old man.

It was painful and sad... When she thought about it carefully, in such a big family, no one stood on her side.

But no matter what the attitude of her family is or what little thoughts each person has, the first step she has to take is to completely block her aunt's evil thoughts.

Yi Congxin tried hard to calm his heart, sorted out his thoughts, and told Yi Guiliang everything that had happened in the afternoon.

Finally, she added, "You know, the school doesn't allow college students to get married before graduation, and I heard that the man is not only old, but also has a bad reputation... I don't want to put my mother in the middle, so..."

Yi Guiliang sighed and took two more puffs on his cigarette. "Son, I understand the situation, but separating and living on your own won't work. I was just saying it in anger. Think about it, while living independently sounds good, how are you, a grown-up girl, going to survive away from home? Where are you going to live? What are you going to eat and drink?"

"Also, you said you would repay the debt with your eldest brother and support your mother in the future. These are just empty words. Your eldest sister-in-law has to believe these words before she will let you go, right?"

Yi Guiliang, considering that Yi Congxin was still young, took out these "old rules" that were engraved in her bones, spread them out, and explained them to her layer by layer.

Yi Congxin lowered his eyes, pondering the old village chief's subtext.

She is not worried about how to survive in the future, and the key to "paying off debts and providing support with her elder brother" is not whether the "sister-in-law in charge" believes it or not. To put it more seriously, it is a question of whether the whole village believes it or not.

She was originally a wild child picked up from the back mountain. After she was admitted to university, her household registration was moved to the school. In fact, she could leave at any time and never come back.

But if she just walked away, the kindness that Yi Huaizhong and his wife had shown to the original owner over the years would become a laughing stock for the whole village.

By then, everyone would point fingers and say behind his back, "See? The one Yi Huaizhong picked up back then is nothing but an ungrateful idiot!"

No one wanted Yi Huaizhong, who had been honest and kind all his life, to be ridiculed like this after his death.

It is better to follow your heart without thinking.

Moreover, although she didn't care about empty talk like "reputation", the original owner's adoptive mother still had to live in the village for decades... She had to be concerned and make some plans for her adoptive mother who was thin-skinned and easily influenced.

Only in this way can she leave here more smoothly.

Yi Cong thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Uncle, that herbal medicine merchant offered 2 yuan as a betrothal gift. If I give Yi Jia 2 yuan within a year, it will be considered as a lump sum payment to pay off my debts and alimony, in exchange for the opportunity to start my own business. Yi Jia will then treat me as if I'm getting married. Do you think this is okay?"

"How much?! 2?! And within a year?!"

Yi Guiliang was so shocked that he didn't hear what Yi Congxin said next.

This young man is really clueless and talks nonsense!

Not to mention that Yi Congxin is a girl, even those boys working in big cities, who work day and night without eating or drinking, can only earn 3000 yuan at most, or 4000 yuan at most, and there is no way they can earn yuan!

She said such a large sum out of anger. Could it be that she wanted to take the wrong path to make quick money?

Yi Congxin smiled at him and said, "Uncle, don't overthink it. I wouldn't do anything that would be self-deprecating and bring shame to our village. I studied Chinese medicine in college, and I've been collecting herbs with my father for so many years. I want to make money from this."

Yi Guiliang breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't believe that she could earn 2 yuan in a year.

There are other people in the village who dig medicinal herbs, but no matter how high the price is, I have never seen anyone collect so much in a year.

Not to mention that Yi Congxin is still in college. During school hours, can a teacher let students not study but do a side job?

How is that possible!

Even if she gets a government job after graduation, the monthly salary for city dwellers is only over 200 yuan.

2 million a year?

That's just dream talk!

Yi Guiliang whispered, "Sister, let's talk about your family's affairs. I'll talk to your mother and your sister-in-law later. Don't do such unreasonable things. As for you, it's good to have ambition, but earning 2 yuan a year? Don't even think about it!"

There was no need for Yi Guiliang to be secretive and only say nice things to a junior. He spoke the truth, but Yi Congxin was also a man who refused to admit defeat.

She had the chance to be reborn again. Whether it was for herself or for the original owner, she didn't want to live a depressed life and be controlled by others all her life.

Although she knew Yi Guiliang was trying to persuade her with good intentions, she refused to give in and quickly retorted, "Uncle, I just want to ask you one thing. 2 yuan in exchange for my independent business, is that okay?"

"Hey—you kid! Why don't you listen to advice?"

Yi Guiliang's expression was no longer as friendly.

He still has a lot of important things to deal with, and he is very annoyed all day long.

Several classrooms in the village primary school are leaking and they need to build a new school building. Several neighboring villages have rebuilt their ancestral halls, but their village has no money. There are so many important matters that require money and manpower, and they have not yet given an explanation to their ancestors and future generations. Which one is not more important than Yi Congxin's own family affairs?

How could he have the time to discuss such trivial matters with a little girl?

"Okay, okay, okay, just wait until you can really come up with 2 yuan! If you can come up with it, I'll agree." Yi Guiliang replied to Yi Congxin casually, and picked up the enamel pot containing wild mountain tea.

This means "goodbye, no need to say goodbye".

Yi took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and said with a firm face, "Uncle, then it's settled."

Yi Guiliang was choked by her and was speechless. He felt helpless about what to do with this girl who "took chicken feathers as a token of authority".

How come a girl who was so listless before suddenly became so difficult to deal with?

Before he could say anything more, Yi Congxin had already half bowed to him and walked out of the hall quickly.

Yi Congxin picked up the broken umbrella under the eaves and was about to go out, but unexpectedly, a tall dark figure who had been standing outside was quicker than her and helped her pick up the broken umbrella.

"Congxin, is it true that you were forced to marry by your family?"

Yi Congxin looked up and saw that it was Yi Dongliang, the grandson of the village chief and her elementary school classmate.
