Zhang Hulan and the others walked a distance away, and then Zhang Hulan said, "Sister-in-law, is it worth it for you to be sad because of them?"

Li actually didn't feel that sad.

I was still a little excited to see my parents whom I hadn't seen for many years.

However, Li also saw the behavior of her parents and elder brother.

Although her parents looked reluctant when they left, she knew in her heart that they didn't care about her that much.

Li said, "Don't worry, sister. I'm not too sad. After so many years, I can see clearly."

Daohe suddenly asked Li: "Aunt, is that your sister-in-law from your mother's family?"

Zhang Xinyue, Daohe Daoxu and others also came. The three of them are now an inseparable trio.

Li nodded, "Yes."

Daohe said, "Their family is probably going to be in trouble."

Zhang Hulan asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

Daohe said, "Aunt, have you forgotten what we do? Of course I saw it from her face."

Zhang Xinyue asked, "Why didn't I see that?"

"How long have you been learning? Besides, you haven't been studying seriously."

Zhang Xinyue was unhappy, "Why didn't I study seriously?"

Zhang Xinyue turned around and asked Daoxu, "Daoxu, is what he said true?"

Daoxu said, "It's bad luck, but it's not a big problem. It's just that you will lose money and live a hard life in the future."

Li was initially a little worried about her parents and wondered if she should go and remind them, but when she heard it was just a financial loss, she didn't bother to bother.

After strolling around for a while, the group returned to the inn to rest, and they started shopping the next day.

This time, Li brought all the one hundred taels of silver given by Zhang Hulan, intending to use it all to buy a dowry for Zhang Dahua.

Wang brought twenty taels of silver.

Zhang Hulan gave her about one hundred taels, plus she would give her some pocket money from time to time, so Wang had more than one hundred taels of silver in her hands.

However, there were many children in the family, so she gave each child a share, so each child only got about ten or twenty taels.

Xiang Chunhua brought fifty taels of silver to Zhang Dahua as a dowry, and this time Xiang Chunhua spent a lot of money.

They bought jewelry, cloth, porcelain, etc. for Zhang Dahua.

Zhang Hulan bought two maids for Zhang Dahua as a dowry. Zhang Dahua couldn't go alone when she married into the Wang family. Bringing two maids with her would make it easier to send them around if anything happened.

There is a difference between sending servants that you bring with you and sending servants from your husband's family.

Zhang Hulan gave the indenture contract directly to Zhang Dahua, and also asked Zhang Dahua and Li to see how the two maids worked during this time. If any of them were not very smart, they could be replaced as soon as possible.

Zhang Hulan didn't buy anything else, as she would give Zhang Dahahua something else as a dowry when the time came.

However, Zhang Hulan bought some things for Wang and Old Man Zhang, including clothes and daily necessities.

After buying everything, Zhang Hulan and her friends played in the provincial capital for half a day and stayed overnight before going home.

It was already noon when they finished shopping. They probably wouldn't be able to get home in the afternoon, and it was unsafe to walk at night, so they decided to stay one more night.

……

Ye Hongling and Wang Xingyao played in Changning County for two days, and then went to Hekou County to stay with Wang Yaqin for a few days.

On her way back to the capital, Ye Hongling came to Daping Village to see Zhang Dahua before leaving.

When Ye Hongling left, she told Zhang Hulan that she would come back as soon as she found a house.

Life returned to normal.

But less than a month later, Li's eldest brother and his family came to visit.

Mrs. Li looked at the family, Li Chengjiang, Mrs. Song, and Li Dawang and Li Erwang, who all had bruised faces and noses, and asked in surprise, "Brother, what happened to you?"

However, Li's parents and the wives of Li Dawang and Li Erwang were not injured.

Just a few days after Zhang Hulan and her friends returned from the provincial capital, the Li family's small restaurant caught fire.

The restaurant was burned down, and some of the shops next door were also burned down.

All the money that the Li family had saved over the years was lost.

The Song family didn't want to pay money to compensate the neighboring shop for its losses, so the owners of the neighboring shops hired people to beat them up and sued them to the government office.

The government ordered the Song family to compensate the neighboring shop for its losses, otherwise they would be arrested and sent to jail.

The Song family was frightened and had to pay the money as compensation.

But even if they took out all the money in the family to pay the compensation, it was still not enough, so they even sold the few small houses they bought in a remote area of ​​the city.

Finally, seeing that they really couldn't come up with any money, the last two shop owners gave in.

The Li family lost their money, their restaurant in the city, and their house, so they had no choice but to return to their hometown.

But the house in their hometown was also sold to the villagers, so they came to find Li.

The Li family stood at the door of Zhang Hujun's house, looking at the big house in front of them with some disbelief, some so shocked that they were speechless.

Mrs. Li asked in disbelief, "Yingzi, is this really your home?"

Zhang Hujun's house was built on the original foundation, but it was much wider.

The Li family had been here before and vaguely remembered the location of the Zhang family's old house.

When they first walked to the front of the house, they thought they had taken the wrong path, and then asked the villagers to confirm that this was Li's home.

Li nodded, "It's my home. Mother, why are you here?"

"We..." Li's mother didn't know how to answer.

Not long ago, Song and Li's mother asked Li the same question, and now Li asked the same question.

Both Song and Li Chengjiang felt a little regretful. If they had invited the Zhang family into the restaurant last time, they wouldn't find it so difficult to speak now.

Li Chengjiang said, "Yingzi, our restaurant is gone, and our home is gone. Mom and Dad have nowhere to go, so we..."

"Oh, who did I think it was? It turned out to be the Li family's eldest brother and sister-in-law..."

Xiang Chunhua's voice came from behind the Li family.

Zhang Hulan also came. The whole family came to inquire where Li's family lived. Immediately, a villager went to inform Zhang Hulan.

Seeing that the Zhang family had arrived, the Li family felt a little embarrassed.

Zhang Hujun didn't say anything and let Li handle the matter herself.

He would have no objection if Mrs. Li allowed the Li family to stay.

Seeing the Li family's embarrassed look, Xiang Chunhua spoke again, "Oh... Brother Li and sister-in-law, what happened to you? Were you robbed?"

Xiang Chunhua couldn't help but sigh that Daohe was right.

It's been said that the Li family is going to be unlucky, and it's been less than a month, how could it come true so soon?

Li was a little hesitant, mainly because she saw that her parents were old and now they didn't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so she still felt a little soft-hearted.

Li's personality is gentle to begin with, and she doesn't talk much at home. How could she be so cruel?

Xiang Chunhua is better than Li in some ways. Although she was blinded by Lard before, when she came to her senses, she spoke and acted decisively.

Zhang Hulan noticed Li's hesitation and said, "Sister-in-law, come here..."
