Reborn farming life

Chapter 101 Cui Yuanyuan

"Sister Yu, are you back?" Li Yu just entered the house when Cui Yuanyuan walked towards him.

"How did you come?"

"I got a fresh flower shape, and I want to come and embroider it with you!" Cui Yuanyuan said while taking out a flower shape of fish playing with lotus leaves from her bosom.

Li Yu just glanced at it, put Tuantuan on the ground and patted his little buttocks and said, "Go to grandma!" Turning to Cui Yuanyuan, he said, "It's not like you don't know that I'm the worst at it, and I don't like it the most. After these, you still bring this to me? I think you want to show off your embroidery skills in front of me!"

"Hey, I didn't want to stimulate you more. Maybe you want to learn it in the future. How can a girl not know this? If you get married in the future, you won't even be able to embroider your wedding dress, isn't that right? Make people laugh? I'm doing this for your own good!"

Li Yu rolled his eyes at her, and walked towards the kitchen, "So I have to thank you?"

Cui Yuanyuan didn't care about the teasing in Li Yu's words, and followed her into the kitchen with a smile, "No need to thank you, I see that you have caught so many snails, do you want to make something delicious? Give it to me when the time comes." Just one serving!"

With a big basin in his hand, Li Yu turned his head and gave Cui Yuanyuan a big roll of his eyes, "You know how to eat, so why didn't you realize that you are a foodie?"

Cui Yuanyuan followed Li Yu to the yard nonchalantly, watched Li Yu pour the snails into the basin and said, "Isn't that what you're used to? Who told you to always make delicious food and greedy me in front of me?" ? By the way, what are you going to do with this snail!"

Li Yu poured the snails into the big wooden basin, and poured some water from the well, "I really asked for it, why did I get used to your problem? It seems that I can't get used to it in the future! Otherwise! How much trouble do I have!"

At this time, I don't know what I thought of, the smile on Cui Yuanyuan's face faded, and she said softly in a very regretful tone, "I also hang out with you for a few times, and you want to invite me to eat in the future I'm afraid it's impossible!"

Although Cui Yuanyuan said it lightly, it was not unheard of. Li Yu paused for a moment while washing the snails in her hand, raised her head and asked in puzzlement, "How do you say this? Are you going to change it in the future and come to me?" Can’t you get into the habit of eating rubbish?” Li Yu’s words were originally a joke, but after she finished speaking, she saw that Cui Yuanyuan didn’t laugh and fight with her as usual, but looked preoccupied, and Li Yu’s brows unconsciously frowned. wrinkled.

"Yuanyuan, what's the matter with you? What did you mean by that just now? Are you going on a long trip?"

Cui Yuanyuan fiddled with the corners of her clothes with both hands. It took a long time before she seemed to muster up her courage. She raised her head and smiled and said to Li Yu, "Sister Yu, I'm getting married!"

"What?" Li Yu was stunned by the sudden news. After waking up, he dragged Cui Yuanyuan into his room and closed the door.Cui Yuanyuan, who was looking at her with a smile, asked seriously, "When did it happen? Why didn't there be any warning in advance? How can you say that if you want to get married, you will get married?"

Cui Yuanyuan sat on Li Yu's bed, leaned against the bedpost and looked at the top of the bed, and said in a heavy tone, "I was just a day earlier than you knew."

"What do you mean?" Li Yu felt a little bad in his heart.

"Hehe, sister Yu, you've become stupid. You don't even understand what you understand so well?" Cui Yuanyuan looked at Li Yu with a smile as if she had discovered something funny, but the smile lacked the usual happiness and more A little melancholy.

"You know what I'm asking!" Li Yu was rare serious now, and Li Yu really cared about his friend Cui Yuanyuan.

Cui Yuanyuan looked at Li Yu's serious expression and the smile on her face faded, "You also know that I have a brother who likes to gamble. , I didn’t think about anything else, so I happily followed him.”

Speaking of this, Cui Yuanyuan showed a sneer on her face, "Who knew that he dragged me to pay off his debts!"

Li Yu was taken aback when he heard that. He only found out that Cui Yuanyuan had a gambler brother after he became friends with him. At that time, Cui Yuanyuan was joking with himself and said that if she was sold by that unscrupulous brother one day, call Li Yu. Go save her!But Li Yu was just listening to it as a joke, she really didn't expect Cui Yuanyuan's brother to be so ruthless and unjust to sell his own sister!

Cui Yuanyuan looked at Li Yu's surprised expression, smiled and continued, "Surprised! What I told you at the beginning was just a joke, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen! What if he sells me to marry me?" I wouldn't be so cold-hearted as a maid or something, but do you know? He actually wants to sell me to a brothel!"

When Cui Yuanyuan said this, hatred flashed in her eyes. She didn't cry, but the color on her face was not pretty.Li Yu saw hatred and determination on his face.She must have been heartbroken by this brother.

"Fortunately, I was smart. I ran back as soon as I found out that something was wrong. There were a lot of people behind me and my brother was chasing me. Although I ran desperately, I was finally chased by them. But I I'm not someone who would give in when caught. Even if I were desperate, I would never go to that kind of place. You don't know that I already wanted to die at that time.

But who knew that I was saved by someone, sister Yu, you must never have guessed who saved me!I didn't expect that I didn't know that it was the prefect's wife until she saved me!When I learned about it, I thought I was dreaming, and I was actually saved by the magistrate's wife! "

Hearing this, Li Yu felt grateful for Cui Yuanyuan and at the same time felt a little admiration for the magistrate's wife who rescued her. Cui Yuanyuan could see what Li Yu was thinking, with a complicated look on her face.

"Sister Yu, do you think that lady is very kind? I also thought so at first, she not only saved me, but also paid back the money for my bastard brother, a whole 200 taels! Having seen so much money, but she paid it back for my brother without blinking an eye, I simply regarded her as a living Bodhisattva."

Speaking of this, Cui Yuanyuan suddenly changed her voice, "But I found out later that she just fell in love with me."

"Looking at you? Why are you looking at you?" Li Yu was startled when he saw Cui Yuanyuan's sudden desolate expression.

"Look at my appearance. After that, she has been sending people to pick me up to talk. I regard her as a benefactor and thank her from the bottom of my heart. But after she sent someone to pick me up yesterday. You know what she said to me ?”

Cui Yuanyuan didn't seem to need Li Yu to answer her, but she just looked at the top of the bed and continued, "She told me that she wants me to marry her son! As long as I marry her son, I don't have to pay back the 200 taels. You may think that this Isn’t it just what I want? Marrying the prefect’s son, isn’t that an endless splendor and wealth? But how could such a good thing happen to me? I won’t know until she calls her son over , That's a fool! A fool who doesn't understand anything!"

"How could this be? Yuanyuan, you didn't agree?" Li Yu felt that Cui Yuanyuan would not agree, but things are often different from what you imagined. Cui Yuanyuan smiled sadly, "I agreed, so what if I don't agree?" How about it? How can our family pay back 200 taels of silver? That is money that my parents will never earn in their entire lives!"

That's right, 200 taels of silver, even the current self can't afford it!But Li Yu really didn't want Cui Yuanyuan to jump into that pit of fire. Li Yu gritted his teeth and said, "200 taels, I should be able to get it together, and you can take it back to her after I get the money together in a few days." .”

After hearing this, Cui Yuanyuan felt very happy. She still had such a friend who warmed her frozen heart, but she still shook her head, "Sister Yu, I know you are good for me, but Really no need. Even if the money is returned, the prefect’s wife still has a way to make me obey. Isn’t the common saying that the people don’t fight with the government? After yesterday, I found out that the prefect’s wife is superficially kind, but in fact She is cunning and ruthless. She said she has identified me as my daughter-in-law, so how can I escape?"

Li Yu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Cui Yuanyuan, "Sister Yu, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I figured it out yesterday, but it's just marrying a fool, and you can wear golden clothes There is nothing wrong with eating money and drinking spicy food. When the magistrate and his wife die in the future, all the family property will belong to me? You know, the magistrate has done something evil, and there is only such a stupid son under his knee."

Cui Yuanyuan said it lightly on the surface, but Li Yu knew that her heart was suffering more than anyone else.Li Yu couldn't do anything now, but sat next to Cui Yuanyuan and hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to pass some strength to this poor child.

Cui Yuanyuan just quietly let Li Yu hold her, and it took a while to break free from her embrace. At this time, Cui Yuanyuan didn't have any painful expression on her face, as if what she just said was just an illusion.

"Sister Yu, I want to eat your delicious food. I want to eat sweet potato fries and snails!" Cui Yuanyuan looked at Li Yu with a smile and made a wish.

Li Yu knew that she didn't want to talk about what happened just now, so he followed her and said, "Okay! I'll make it for you right now, just wait and eat!"

"Well, Sister Yu is the best, hurry up and do it! I'm so greedy!" Li Yu looked at the girl who was hiding her sadness with a smile and felt very sad. She was only 16 years old, but she had to bear the burden. Some adults can't bear the pain.

I really want to help her, but as she said, I can help her pay back the money, but if that Mrs. Song really made up her mind to ask Yuanyuan to marry her son, then she will have a lot of troubles The method made Yuanyuan submit.He didn't have the power to help her fight against Mrs. Song, Li Yu admitted weakly that he seemed to be powerless.

Before walking out of the room, Li Yu said, "Yuanyuan, if you can't do it, run away!"

Cui Yuanyuan shook her head, as if she was talking to Li Yu, but also to herself, "Escape? Where to? What will happen after I escape? How will I live alone? What will my parents do after I escape?" ?”

Li Yu was speechless, yes!Will Yuanyuan be safe after she escapes?Will her family be safe too?Li Yu suddenly couldn't think anymore, and walked quickly to the kitchen to cook what Cui Yuanyuan wanted to eat, which seemed to be the only thing she could do now
