The rule of the Yang Gaowu family is that after a son gets married, he must divide the family.
However, now that his eldest brother's son is studying, in order to support him as a scholar, his mother finds various reasons to prevent him from marrying.
Xie Yanzhi and Li Jun couldn't stand it for a long time, and they talked to him overtly and secretly countless times.
Every time he made up his mind not to give his mother money, but as soon as his mother cried about the difficulty of raising them, he would relent.
All that money was saved by him when he was away from home, reluctant to eat or drink, but ended up spending it on others.
It would be fine if that person was worth his efforts, but neither Li Jun nor Xie Yanzhi felt it was worth it.
Seeing his silence, Xie Yanzhi knew that once Yang Gaowu came back from his escort and went directly to the Yan family to propose marriage, it would be tantamount to falling out with the family.
Knowing that he was troubled, he didn't say anything else.
Li Jun, on the other hand, spoke extremely rudely to Yang Gaowu, his sworn brother, "Brother Yang, we are not telling you to be unfilial, but there are many ways to be filial. Think about it, if you don't marry Miss Yan this year, you can rest assured to let her marry you then." give others?
Do you want to watch her wash, cook and give birth to children for others? If the man you marry is good, that's okay, but what if the man you marry is the same as my sister? Rather than handing over your favorite object to others, it's better to keep it to yourself. "
After saying this, he also sighed: "You and Miss Yan are very happy with each other. If you want to marry a wife, you can do it as long as you have money.
Like Brother Xie and I, even if we want to marry, we don’t know who to marry. My debts are not a burden to others. And Brother Xie, given his bad luck, who knows when the other party will become a widow..."
Xie Yanzhi, who had already eaten and drank enough, took out a fan from nowhere, opened it and fanned it slowly in the not-so-hot day, and said very arrogantly.
"I'm different from you, so don't compare me to you. I don't lack money, housing, or fame, but you need to work for a living. As long as I'm not afraid that my property will fall into the hands of others, I can marry a wife at any time. Besides, what if one day I suddenly get lucky again?"
Li Jun didn't even look at his possibly shabby look, and directly wiped the mouth of Erya, who had been renamed Liu Qingsha, and then took her and Liu Caiwei to the west wing for a nap.
By the time he came out after coaxing the children, the leftovers on the house had already been cleaned up by people from the restaurant.
"Brother Yang is back?"
"I should go find Miss Yan. I hope he can figure it out this time."
After Xie Yanzhi said this, he handed over a note: "Give this to shopkeeper Guo and ask him to give you two taels of silver. Take the money and buy more rice, flour, oil and salt, and ask someone to get more firewood to save money." You still need your sister to cut it off."
Only then did Li Jun feel strange: "Brother Xie, are you too concerned about my sister? I have heard it several times since lunch, and you are all talking about my sister's good."
Xie Yanzhi said calmly: "Your sister has saved my life. If your sister hadn't given me a hand last night, my hand would probably have to wait until February or March next year to heal."
Fortunately, he had fallen with his left hand before. If it had been with his right hand, he might not even be able to eat now.
Li Jun didn't know about this. After reaching out and taking the note, he said, "Just think of it as a loan from me. You add it to your account. I'll pay it back later."
"No, just think of this as a meeting gift from me to the children. I'm in a special situation. It's not good to give anything to your sister, mother and daughter. Just think of it as buying rice and noodles. The only difference between you and me is that I bought Rice and noodles will be sent to your home, and you can buy them yourself with the money and send them back."
Li Jun didn't hesitate even though he was short of money. "Tomorrow my family will invite the tribesmen who help my sister to have dinner. You and Brother Yang must come. When my escort comes back, I will treat you to dinner alone."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. The child is here and I will keep an eye on it for you."
To be honest, Xie Yanzhi was used to being alone. Suddenly there were two more children at home. Even if he was sleeping in the house, he felt lively.
As soon as Li Jun went out, he moved the stool with one hand and carefully walked to the door of the west wing to guard it.
Liuyun County is not big, but it is prosperous and has everything.
By the time Li Jun took two taels of silver from shopkeeper Guo and finished shopping, it only took half an hour.
Xie Yanzhi looked at the two children who were picked up, and felt a little empty for a moment.
Hey, he may have been alone for a long time, but now he actually wants to get a wife!
When Li Jun came back with his two children, Li Yuan woke up from her nap.
When Liu Caiwei saw her, she ran up with a bright smile on her face: "Mom, my uncle said that we will be a family again from now on, and he also changed my and my sister's names. My name is Liu Caiwei, and my sister's name is Liu Qingsha."
Liu Qingsha, who was walking slowly, nodded slightly and said "hmm" halfway along the way.
Li Yuan knelt down and looked at the sisters, "Do you like your uncle's name?"
The two sisters responded in unison: "I like it!"
Liu Caiwei, who already knows how to express her emotions when speaking, was even more blunt.
"Mom, there are several people named Da Ya Er Ya in Shuiyun Village. My sister and I both like our current names, which are different from everyone else's. Uncle said that my sister and I got our names from the Book of Songs. What's the matter? Wei Caiwei, Wei Yizuo Zhi. My uncle said this name is nice and suitable for me."
Liu Qingsha, who had already walked over, nodded in agreement: "That sounds good!"
Liu Caiwei continued: "My sister's name is Qingsha. My uncle said something like 'Green Sha and Mixed Trees' in the Book of Songs. I didn't understand the latter part. Anyway, my uncle said it is suitable for my sister."
"Okay, as long as you like it. From now on, you won't be called Da Ya Er Ya, but Cai Wei and Qing Sha."
Li Jun put the rice, noodles, oil, salt, and meat he bought back into the kitchen. He held a bowl of water in his hand, drank it all, and then looked at Wang Can, who was arranging the rice and noodles.
"Miss Wang, I just saw you clearing land? You can leave it there for now and wait until next spring. The family will invite my sister's tribe to have dinner tomorrow. There will be many people walking around and the land will be cleared again. It’s true. Besides, even if the land is cleared now, it won’t be suitable for us to plant anything.”
Wang Can disagreed: "Everyone has eyes, so how can they step on the dug ground? I don't have anything to do now, so I can plant radish and cabbage as much as I can.
As long as it can grow before the weather gets cold, it's not a loss. By the way, Brother Junzi, Sister Yuan and I both want to wait until she gets better and then go to the county town to set up a stall and sell noodles. Do you have any connections in this area? Can you help me say hello? "
"Setting up a stall?"
"Yes, Sister Yuan doesn't want to sit back and have nothing. She has two children to support, and she said that she can't rely on you all her life. She wants to stand up on her own. As for me, I am alone and have no money. I want to earn every penny."
Li Jun did not prevent his sister from showing her face. He also wanted his sister to stand up completely after she woke up.
Setting up a stall would be good for her because she could come into contact with all kinds of people.
