The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

However, Li Yali didn't dare tell her younger sister about this, fearing that Liu Ying would be unhappy if she found out.

Moreover, the matchmaker also said that if the marriage were to go through, the man would have to give a dowry of 20 taels of silver.

A dowry of 20 taels is considered quite generous, even in a small town.

After all, they weren't a wealthy family. If it were an ordinary family, giving ten taels of silver would already be considered quite generous.

Liu Yanli felt that if this matter really came to fruition, then she would have made a profit. After all, the dowry money given by the girl would all be hers.

Moreover, her younger sister has already caused such a big commotion in the village that now the villagers are gossiping and laughing at Liu Ying.

If I stay at home any longer, I'm afraid I'll never be able to get married.

After all, a woman is a financial burden; if she just stays at home eating and drinking, she'll end up working for someone else.

In addition, because of what happened before, all the family's fields were sold to raise the 20 taels of silver. Now that one person in the family has left, life is a little better. Otherwise, they would have been so poor that they would have starved in the end.

Now, all we can do is get Liu Ying married off as soon as possible, get the 20 taels of betrothal money, and then quickly buy some more land.

That's how we can maintain a basic standard of living.

As for what kind of man his sister married, he couldn't care less. To be honest, Liu Yanli had no idea about that man at all, since it was already a very difficult thing for Liu Ying to get married.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying nodded obediently, "Sister, of course I know."

"It's good that you know. Don't do anything stupid in the future. Be more confident. Look at yourself. You're not bad looking. Dress up a little better. You look really beautiful today. If I were a man, I would definitely be attracted to you too."

"You don't need to worry too much. We're just going there today to pass through a door."

"kindness."

"Ying'er, if you really get married in the future, you have to learn to live a normal life and become more settled. You must not cause any more trouble and throw all those thoughts away."

Liu Yanli couldn't help but give earnest instructions, not only because she cared about her younger sister's behavior, but also because she was afraid that if something really happened, it would involve her family.

After all, a man who could beat his wife to death is definitely not a good person. If Liu Ying doesn't behave herself after marrying into the family, she will definitely be severely punished by this man.

Liu Yanli couldn't reveal the man's situation, so she could only try to subtly remind her younger sister.

"Sister, I understand, don't worry."

"Just remember these things. You are my sister, and you know how I treat you. Everything I say now is for your own good."

"I see."

"Alright, let's hurry up and walk. We still have a long way to go," Liu Yanli said, unable to contain her complaint.

To be honest, I ran into Aunt Yang and Old Lady Liu on the oxcart today. Both women are known for their gossip in the village. If they had gotten on the oxcart, there would have been a lot more chatter.

I wonder what nasty things these two women might say.

So the two women had no intention of taking the oxcart, but the village was quite a distance from the town.

Halfway there, the two women were already panting heavily.

Liu Yanli was an elderly woman, and her legs were not very nimble. She was already tired before she had even reached the halfway point.

Liu Ying has been through a lot lately, and her body is quite weak.

Liu Ying couldn't help but say, "Sister, I really can't walk anymore. Why don't we sit down and rest for a while?"

"I'm almost unable to walk anymore."

After saying this, Liu Yanli sat down on the rock next to her, wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeve, and couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.

The woman couldn't help but mutter, "I'm so tired. Look, we've been walking for an hour, and we've only covered such a short distance!"

Upon hearing this, a flicker of despair crossed Liu Ying's eyes. "Sister, at our current pace, when will we ever reach the town?"

"If I had known it would turn out like this, we should have taken the oxcart this morning. Listening to those old women's nagging would have been better than walking so far," Liu Yanli muttered to herself. Thinking about how exhausted she was now, she felt incredibly regretful.

"My sister is already gone, it's too late to say anything now."

"We'll ride in the oxcart when we get back."

"That's for sure, otherwise I would have lost half my life if I had to walk back today."

As the two women spoke, they saw a carriage speeding towards them.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ying exclaimed to the woman with delight, "Sister, look quickly, there's a carriage behind us!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Yanli's eyes lit up. "It seems it really is true. I wonder if they can give us a ride. If it's on their way, that would be great."

"When my sister comes over later, let's ask her. Maybe we'll run into some kind person who can give us a ride."

"Then I'll call them back in a bit."

Liu Ying nodded excitedly, then quickly straightened her clothes and stood directly in the middle of the road.

After seeing this, Liu Yanli followed.

The carriage behind stopped when it saw the woman in front of it.

The servant driving the carriage said to the man inside, "Young master, someone is blocking our way."

Immediately, an impatient voice came from inside, "Who is it that dares to block my way?"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Si could only truthfully reply, "It's a girl."

After the man finished speaking, he heard a delicate voice coming from the front of the carriage.

"Young master, my sister and I are heading to town, but my sister has difficulty walking, and I am also very weak. We can't walk any further after a while. I wonder if you could give my sister and me a ride? We would be extremely grateful."
