After being wrongly married, I stabbed my husband to death and became famous throughout the world.

After returning from the military camp, Chen Yousong also passed by the Chen family and took some money from Zhu Shi without leaving a word.

Despite this, Zhu could still guess what her husband was going there to do.

It's impossible to say that you have absolutely no reservations.

She also knew that her husband doted on his niece who had lost her mother at birth. Poor children always evoke pity, and she was no different from any other person.

She could sympathize with him and help him, but she couldn't be so magnanimous as to give him everything.

She still felt uneasy about that previous marriage.

Ali needs to find a good family, and so does her daughter!

The Chen family are military households!

In families like theirs, it's mostly military households who marry into each other. It's almost impossible for a man to marry a woman from a civilian household. No one would want their daughter to jump into this generation-bound fire pit!

The woman does have the opportunity to get married, but she will inevitably have to prepare a lot of dowry!

So when she heard that her husband had given up that hard-won opportunity without even thinking about his daughter, her anger almost overwhelmed all reason.

But that time, her husband said it was the last time.

She knew Ah Li was pitiful, and even though she was unwilling, she didn't make a scene.

She was quite surprised that the marriage had run into problems, but it was an accident after all. She could only say that Ah Li was unlucky and pitiful.

But this time, her husband is going to help her again.

The family only had thirteen taels of silver in total, and they took it all, even borrowing a few taels from outside...

Her two children are twins, a boy and a girl, and they are now eighteen years old.

Her son was in poor health and had a low chance of surviving if he went to the battlefield. So even the girls from other military households looked down on her son, fearing he would become a widow early.

And her daughter...

She was looking for a husband for her daughter, and the family she was interested in was not well-off, but they were commoners and required the Chen family to provide a dowry of no less than ten taels of silver!

But now that all the money has been taken away, how can she remain calm!

Therefore, when Chen Yousong returned, he saw Zhu's swollen eyes. She was devastated and furious: "What are you going to do with all that money to cover up this mess?! I told you last time you came back that our daughter is all grown up and we really can't put it off any longer! You promised to save money for her wedding, and this is how you save it?!"

Chen Yousong looked embarrassed.

At that moment, both his son and daughter also stepped forward.

"Mother, don't worry!" Chen Ying quickly comforted her, "Something terrible has happened to my cousin. If Father doesn't take care of her, she'll definitely be driven to her death by the Li family. Please don't argue with Father about this..."

"Why should I?! How many times do I have to interfere?! She's not my child!" Madam Zhu collapsed. "You stubborn, ungrateful wretch! Who am I doing all this for?! Hasn't your father done enough? He's given her subsidies every year and takes care of her whenever he has time. Have I ever stopped him?! Now she wants to throw away your dowry too! Without that money, you'll only be able to marry a soldier, and your children, your descendants, will all be sent to their deaths! Are you stupid?!"

Chen Ying's face also paled a bit.

She knew it too...

Her father wasn't actually the eldest son. After her grandfather died, her eldest uncle went to the battlefield and died before he could get married. Then it was her father's turn. Over the years, her mother worried every day, fearing that one day she would receive bad news about her father.

Their family has never truly had a peaceful life.

Not to mention the Chen family, the alleys near the Chen family are inhabited by military households, and the sounds of mourning are often heard.

The family her mother arranged for her wasn't good either. Her mother was seriously ill and bedridden, and her family had several brothers and was extremely poor. But they had only one advantage: they were from a poor family.

Chen Ying stood there, somewhat at a loss, looking blankly at her father.

"Father, what are you going to do with the money? With this money, will Cousin Ali no longer suffer?" Chen Ying asked.

If that's the case, it's not entirely unworthy.

But she was also afraid that, as she had told her mother, helping again and again would never end.

"I...I originally planned to spend money to persuade Li Chutian to let Ali be fostered in our family..."

"Ha!" Before Chen Yousong could finish speaking, he was met with a cold laugh from Madam Zhu. "You really are a kind person. You give the money to the Li family, but the person goes to us. Even if Ali had no choice but to kill, does that sound good on your reputation? Or are you planning to strengthen our kinship by marrying Ali to our Feiqing? If that's what you're thinking, fine, I'll accept the money being spent!"

"Don't be so unreasonable! Can't you just let me finish what I have to say?!" Chen Yousong said angrily.

Madam Zhu raised an eyebrow, her eyes cold and desperate: "Look, how could you bear to marry your precious niece into a military family like ours! You want to save her and ensure her a peaceful and prosperous life, but have you ever thought that without this money, your daughter will have to watch helplessly as her husband and son fight to their deaths?!"

Chen Yousong felt ashamed when his thoughts were exposed.

He wants to take care of everything, but can he manage it all?!

Ah Li... she has no one to rely on but him as her uncle. How could he just stand by and do nothing?

His eyes dimmed, and he stopped talking. He simply took out the twenty taels of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into Madam Zhu's hand.

Zhu was taken aback for a moment.

"Mother! We didn't spend the money..." Chen Ying called out hurriedly, then looked anxiously at Chen Yousong: "Father, what's going on? We're willing to spend the money, why won't Li Chutian release them?"

Holding the silver, Madam Zhu went limp and silently shed tears.

Chen Yousong's voice was slightly hoarse: "Ali... doesn't want to come."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feiqing and Chen Ying immediately understood.

Their cousin, Ah Li, was very well-behaved, but too well-behaved. Despite being bullied so badly by the Li family, she could never muster the slightest thought of resistance.

When she was a child, she and her brother ran to the Li family and saw that Ah Li was being bullied by Li Linsheng. Enraged, she fought with Li Linsheng, and both of them were bruised and bleeding.

When Zhou saw this, she started crying and making a scene, grabbing Ali and asking whose fault it was and demanding that she testify.

Ali betrayed her and her brother.

Her mother came to compensate for the medicine costs and bought several chickens for Li Linsheng to help him recover, enduring all of Zhou's ridicule.

As she grew up, she understood that Ali had many unavoidable circumstances. However, the embarrassment of being attacked and criticized back then made her and her siblings unable to risk their lives for her anymore.

The brother and sister didn't know what to say.

Chen Yousong thought about the contract in his arms and suddenly hesitated to take it out. What his wife had just said... left him unsure how to handle the matter. However, he couldn't keep it a secret forever... After all, once the contract was signed, the Li family could no longer interfere with Ali's marriage. This matter was very important, and he had to give an explanation.

He was silent for a moment, then took out the contract and handed it to Chen Feiqing: "Read it to your mother!"
