Li You was speechless.
He opened his mouth, but hesitated. Father Shen and Mother Shen were reluctant to speak. Shen Yinxiao looked at Wei Cheng's leisurely look and couldn't stand it, so she reminded him: "He is my fiancé."
Li You looked at her in surprise, a little embarrassed, his face turned slightly red, and then he nodded to Wei Cheng: "Exactly."
fiancé.
Harsh.
There was silence in the courtyard, and suddenly he chuckled.
"Is it?"
He smiles.
"..."
Someone knocked on the door again outside the hospital.
Shen Yinxiao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that someone from the Wei family was here, but he didn't expect that they were not looking for Wei Cheng, but for Li You.
She was a middle-aged woman, looking anxious and anxious, as if something was urgent. The two exchanged a few words, and Li You's expression changed.
"Something happened at home. I have to go back quickly. Uncle, aunt, Yinxiao, Mr. Wei, I'll take my leave first."
Father Shen stood up to see him off, and when he came back, only Wei Cheng, Chen Yinxiao, and Father Shen and her mother were left sitting awkwardly across from each other.
The atmosphere was even more awkward than before.
At least Li You was able to say a few words to him. As soon as he left, Shen's father and Shen's mother almost ran away. Shen Yinxiao suddenly stood up and prepared to see the guest off: "I'll see Wei Langjun back."
"I would like to thank Second Young Master Wei for your generous donation today, otherwise I'm afraid the villain would be..." Father Shen quickly stood up and exchanged greetings.
"It takes a little effort." Wei Cheng stood up and straightened his sleeves, his expression indifferent.
He was tall, eight feet tall. An ordinary man standing in front of him would be half a head shorter. He didn't know where he went today. He even tied his hair and wore a crown. His already tall and tall figure made him appear taller and taller. Father Shen and Mother Shen, who had the back of an ape and the waist of a wasp, were more like two dying old mushrooms in front of him.
"It's all for Yin Xiao." He smiled.
Mother Shen lowered his head, raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.
Father Shen lowered his head in shame.
Shen Yinxiao looked at him blankly, a strange emotion surged in his heart, and he felt a bit inexplicably aggrieved.
"That shop is not a haunted house. The former shopkeeper died of old age. The rumors he spread are exaggerated. It will be fine after a while. You can move your things there tomorrow."
He turned around, "Didn't you say you wanted to send me off?"
——
The sun sets early and the night falls. The autumn night in Youzhou is much colder than in the south. The purple-black sky is full of stars. The servant has long since disappeared. Wei Cheng holds the horse with one hand and walks side by side with her on the long street. The two moon shadows were stretched out.
But no matter what, the two shadows are always separated by a distance. They were so close to each other a few days ago, but today they refused to get closer to him.
"Your taste is not very good either." Wei Cheng spoke, his voice no longer ridiculing, as if it was a little lonely, and it suddenly sounded on the empty street.
"I think he is very good. He can be filial to my parents and treats me well."
The man sneered.
good?
How many men has she had?
We agreed after seeing each other a few times.
Those useless parents are stupid, and the daughter they raised is...
Easily deceived.
But he didn't agree to her, so he turned around and found a fiancé from nowhere.
He gritted his teeth.
Who knows why he ended up here today? The courtyard is as narrow as a bird's nest.
Lower your status.
I just wanted to take a look.
"How long have you known him? What is his character and how much do you know about him?"
Shen Yinxiao was silent, looking up at the sky without speaking.
"And he also has a son. If something happens to his son today, he has to leave. If something happens to his family tomorrow, he will leave you behind. Shen Yinxiao, you are so stupid to go to someone else's place. Mother? "
A woman in her late twenties still makes a living by playing music in a brothel.
What kind of good family can I find?
Mother Shen found this through her connections.
This world is really screwed up.
She sneered.
She was no longer the fourteen-year-old girl who knew nothing and was at his mercy.
In four or five years, a naive and timid little girl learned to protect herself.
Be your own master.
I can't let myself be wronged anymore.
"I didn't expect anything? What's different? Are you confused by eating wine, or the wine has gone into the dog's belly, and the dog's mouth can't spit out ivory! I just want to have a husband and a companion, and I can give it to you in the future. My parents are taking care of themselves until they die, and they can spend New Years and holidays with me in the future. What's wrong with me? If you don't want to marry me, forget it, but I force you to marry me? Why do you insist on interfering in other people's business when you have nothing to do? Don’t come to my house from now on, I’m afraid others will see you and gossip, which will make you embarrassed!”
Those words popped out one after another, and Wei Cheng's face turned greener and greener, then paler, and finally a hint of red rose suspiciously, and he turned red with anger.
Shen Yinxiao has been with him for all these years, and she has always been submissive. It's okay to have a little temper occasionally. He knows that she has a temper, but she never treats him badly. She is very concerned about her face.
But the more he listened to her scolding, he felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart.
Listen to this.
She still liked being with him.
He looked at her with interest, the corners of his lips slowly raised.
"Why did you lose your people?"
Shen Yinxiao turned around and said in a cold voice: "The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. Frequent interactions will inevitably cause gossip. My marriage to the Li family is about to happen. Don't come to me again. I will pay back the favor I owe you slowly. You and I have been together over the years." It can be regarded as a balance of money and money. What you do in the future has nothing to do with me, and neither do I."
"You've paid for both money and goods?" Wei Cheng laughed angrily, "You really think of yourself as a prostitute. You can ask around in Youzhou to find out which top brand is more expensive than you. I haven't told you how much money I paid over the years. You always When dad was about to die from illness, I didn't go around looking for doctors to find medicine for you. Can you figure out how much money those things can be exchanged for?"
He tugged on the reins, grabbed the back of her neck with his other hand, and raised it in front of him, looking at her dangerously.
The horse suddenly neighed and stopped after him. The neighing sound was particularly abrupt in the quiet night.
Under the dim yellow lantern, the man looked down at her with a handsome face.
She said flatly: "I won't argue with you, I'm going back."
The rough fingertips touched the girl's full lips and pressed lightly, revealing the porcelain white teeth and pink tongue.
He lowered his head and pressed his slightly cool lips to hers.
So fragrant and soft.
He was still very stubborn, and the uvula that was caught in his mouth was restless and wanted to pull away. He deliberately made a slurping sound.
She pushed his shoulder in horror.
It's still out there!
crazy!
Strange people passed by the alley, and chatter in twos and threes came from the entrance of the alley.
Someone took a curious look.
She stiffly buried herself in his shadow.
"When you go back, break up with him and don't let him touch you again."
Wei Cheng ordered quietly, licked the crystal on his lips, turned his head and glanced coldly at the idlers in the alley who were staring blankly.
"Go quickly, go quickly..."
The idlers whispered and pushed their friends.
The footsteps gradually faded away.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yinxiao raised her eyes and looked directly at him, saying word by word, "I want to marry him."
Wei Cheng's eyes suddenly darkened and he stared at her sinisterly.
The tone was solemn.
"You are just a stubborn person. Someone has to break your bones inch by inch before you know how to be obedient."
The sound was wrapped in the cold night wind, like a snake licking her exposed skin inch by inch.
She shrank her neck, pushed his hand away, and ran back without looking back.
Afraid that Wei Cheng would really break her bones inch by inch.
She was relieved when she heard the sound of horses being mounted behind her, the horses neighing, and the clatter of horse hoofs.
After returning home, she counted the money at home and returned a total of one hundred and forty taels, of which fifty taels were borrowed and were repaid by Wei Cheng. Mother Shen returned her twenty taels in full. He married her and gave her ten taels of silver to buy her clothes.
"Buy some more clothes. Look at what you are wearing. The clothes are all old. This lotus root pink one is the new one I bought for you this year."
"I know, Mom." She collected the money and stuffed it into her purse.
"Although we are not exempt from our rent, we can't be greedy for cheap. Since the shop is a misunderstanding, your father and I thought that we still have to politely refuse people's kindness. We can't just accept the refund and have someone pay off the debt for us. In the end, we still rely on other people's shops, which is really regrettable. Even if we have to work hard first, we can't let others stab us in the back."
Mother Shen babbled a long list of words.
"I know, mother."
Father Shen on the side opened his mouth, sighed heavily, and lowered his head.
This lament seemed particularly abrupt in the dilapidated courtyard. Mother Shen was determined to leave the shop, but her thoughts were disrupted by this lament, "Old man, don't sigh, this shop is in conflict with us, and we may not be able to control it in the future." What's going to happen..."
"What could happen!"
Father Shen slapped the table dejectedly. He was counting on having a front to do some small business. Having a front would mean he had dignity, and would not have to push his cart through the streets to hide from the government officials patrolling the streets.
What Shen Yinxiao was most afraid of was that her parents would quarrel in front of her and see that they were about to quarrel again. Shen's father had suffered from epilepsy for decades and would fall ill when he got excited. She quickly broke up the quarrel, fearing that something would happen to her family again because of the shop.
"Otherwise, just follow what dad wants. Wei Cheng said he won't charge us rent anyway, and he didn't sign a document with us. The worst he can do is regret it and kick us out. Let's open the store first while he doesn't change his mind. Get up and sell bean curd while paying back the money."
Father Shen then beamed.
