Chapter 18: Cutting off the roots of descendants
Liu Yue'e met Matchmaker Wang as soon as she returned to the entrance of Qinghewan Village from Yueliangwan.
Liu Yue'e's eldest sister married to Yueliang Bay, next to Qinghe Bay.
Yueliang Bay has always been richer than Qinghe Bay, and Liu Yue'e's eldest sister's family also lives quite well.
Liu Yue'e held Yaozu's hand, criticized her mother-in-law's vicious thoughts, and asked her elder sister to borrow money.
"If you could lend me three or five taels, I could still think of a way. But these fifty taels are really not enough. You know your nephew is looking for a marriage these days, and he is a little rough in appearance. We have to pay more money to make up for it so that the girl will be interested in him."
"Why don't you wait a few days and your nephew will make the decision. I will raise fifty taels for you to send home without telling your brother-in-law."
These few words left Liu Yue'e speechless.
The elder sister is really good at talking. She asked her to wait for a few days.
Didn't she think her son could wait that long?
It turns out that everyone will feel pain when flesh falls off their body.
If it were any other time, Liu Yue'e would have said a few sarcastic words to her elder sister, but now that she wanted a favor from her elder sister, she had no intention of arguing.
"Why don't you ask your parents to borrow some, or go to your eldest sister-in-law's house in town to borrow a pinch of wine." Sister Liu gave Liu Yue'e some advice.
Liu Yue'e also wanted to ask her parents for a loan, but her parents were not well off, not to mention that her parents and sister-in-law had always had a prejudice against her.
She really didn't want to borrow money from her parents.
Because of her marrying Gu Dashu, her parents were so angry that they almost broke off relations with her. Although they lived in the same village, she didn't dare to borrow things from her parents' home easily.
Not to mention the eldest sister-in-law. The mother-in-law and the husband have made enemies in front of the eldest sister-in-law. She bullies the eldest wife on a daily basis. She is afraid that she will kneel down at the door of the eldest sister-in-law's house and apologize, but the eldest sister-in-law won't even raise her eyelids.
At this time, Liu Yue'e didn't know that her husband Gu Dashu had already gone to Gu Baishuang to apologize with a rattan stick on his back.
"Okay, big sister, if you don't want to lend it to me, then forget it. None of your suggestions are reliable. I think you should stop talking about marriage to your nephew for now. Just keep the money and use it to treat the acne on your face first."
Liu Yue'e endured it again and again, but once she spoke, her words were so hurtful that they killed someone.
After saying that, she pulled Yaozu back to Qinghe Bay. Sister Liu knew that her sister had been sharp-tongued since she was young, so she didn't care about her harsh words.
Thinking that his nephew was about to be pawned as a servant, he felt a little reluctant, so he went into the house, picked up a few pounds of red dates, a dozen large white steamed buns and a roast chicken, stuffed them into his bag, and caught up with Liu Yue'e and her son.
Liu Yue'e didn't hesitate to take it and left.
She was planning to go home to Naogu Dashu, what kind of man is he to be if he just watched his son being taken away.
Gu Dashu went around stealing and robbing, and forced him to get fifty taels.
And there is my brother-in-law. He went to the private school in town to borrow money. I don’t know if he succeeded. Even if he didn’t, she won’t let him go.
Liu Yue'e scolded her mother-in-law for being a vicious and perverted widow, scolded Gu Dashu for doing nothing and not being able to make money, and scolded her brother-in-law for being a black-hearted rotten seed who was cheating the family...
Qinghe Bay is not far from Yueliang Bay. Liu Yue'e crossed two ditches and returned to Qinghe Bay from Yueliang Bay.
Matchmaker Wang had just left Chen's house and was excited to see Liu Yue'e.
After Tong Huaqiong's disturbance at Zheng's house, matchmaker Wang had been busy for several days but didn't get the thank-you gift and even had to eat a meal at Mr. Zheng's expense. When she met the widow Tong's daughter-in-law at this time, she was like an enemy meeting and was extremely jealous of each other.
She glanced at Yaozu's crotch and said sarcastically, "Second daughter-in-law of the Gu family, in three days your boy will go to the palace to enjoy the good life. Who knows, if he catches the eye of some nobleman, he may even be able to earn a royal title for you, his own mother."
After saying that, he chuckled twice.
Liu Yue'e's brain has stopped working.
Going to the palace and becoming a eunuch, what does that mean?
When Matchmaker Wang saw that Liu Yue'e's reaction was like a hammer, she became blunt in her words.
"The Shengjing Palace is selecting palace maids and eunuchs from all over the country. Steward He knows a body-cleansing master in our county. He plans to cut your son's ass and send him to the palace."
When Liu Yue'e heard this shocking news, her head felt like it was being crushed.
"You should be happy. This is giving your son a good future. Smoke is coming out of your Gu family's ancestral tomb. Look around Qinghe Bay and see who has the good fortune of your family's ancestors to go to Shengjing. Go back quickly and tell your black-hearted widow mother-in-law the good news..."
"Oh, are you scared? I say, the second daughter-in-law of the Gu family, you should be more open-minded. This is a good thing. If you give up this son, you are still young and you won't have to worry about not having a new son in the future."
Matchmaker Wang made a few sarcastic remarks, looked at Liu Yue'e's pale face, patted the dust off her butt with great satisfaction, hummed a tune, and got into the carriage.
Liu Yue'e screamed, grabbed Yaozu's hand and ran towards her parents' home.
Don’t think about anything now. You just have to ask your mother’s family for money to save your son.
Yaozu was still young and didn't understand what it meant to enter the palace or become a eunuch. He was still chewing the chicken leg given by his aunt when he was taken to his maternal grandfather's house by his mother.
"Dad, Mom, please save Yaozu."
"If you don't save him, Yaozu will be forced to become a eunuch."
……
"Yue'e, please stand up and talk properly."
Liu Yue'e's mother, Zhao, helped her daughter up.
This eccentric girl's incoherent speech is really a headache.
Liu Yue'e calmed herself down and told the whole story, one by one, about Gu Jingzhe's plan to study and marry into the Zheng family, and his plan to use the eldest daughter of the old family as a gift to the Zheng family's eldest son to bring him good luck, and how this would develop into disaster for her son.
Liu Yue'e's father, Liu Tiechui, had a grim face. His daughter asked for fifty taels of silver right away. She was really imaginative!
Even though the Liu family had saved some money in recent years, it was only a dozen taels, which was for their grandson to marry in the future.
Zhao looked at her grandson Yaozu with a complicated expression, and cursed the Gu family, especially her relative Tong Dajiao, in her heart.
Tong Da Jiao is a notorious bad person, and the children she raised are not good either.
Especially this Gu Jingzhe, he is a scholar, he has read so much books that he has lost everything. Such a person must not be allowed to study well, because sooner or later he will harm the common people.
At the beginning, the Liu family opposed Liu Yue'e's marriage to Gu Dashu, but this unruly girl refused to listen and was eager to marry Gu Dashu as if she had drunk a love potion.
Speaking of it, everyone in the Liu family is normal, except for this girl who has been unreasonable since she was a child.
Ever since she married into the Gu family, she was like a turtle crawling into a pond. She and Tong Dajiao hit it off right away, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law teamed up to bully Chen Sufen. As a mother, she was embarrassed in the village.
"I didn't expect my mother-in-law to be so evil that she would harm her own grandson. Why didn't she let Taohua go to the Zheng family, nor did she let Man'er go to the Zheng family, but she had to use my son as collateral for the money." Liu Yue'e cried and cursed, "It must be that Chen Sufen turned into a spirit and bewitched my mother-in-law."
Zhao wanted to roll her eyes at this stupid girl.
When has your mother-in-law ever been cleansed?
And even at this time he is still scolding Chen Sufen. It seems that Yaozu is precious and Maner is just a weed, right?
Although Zhao was clear about right and wrong, she felt sorry for Yaozu. She couldn't understand why Tong Dajiao wanted to use her grandson to pay off the debt.
Widow Tong is getting more and more vicious. Now she abuses her children indiscriminately, regardless of whether they are her biological children or adopted ones!
"Dad, Mom, I can't live if you don't give me money." Liu Yue'e climbed onto the legs of her biological father Liu Tiechui, who had been silent the whole time, and tears fell down her face.
Liu Tiechui looked very unhappy. When Liu Yue'e and Gu Dashu got married, he had said that he would not become a relative with a bad guy like Tong Dajiao, and would not recognize Gu Dashu as his son-in-law. But he couldn't bear to watch Yaozu being beaten to death.
"I know everything you said. How about this, you go back first, I will discuss it with your brother in the evening, and I will give you a definite answer by tomorrow night at the latest." Liu Tiechui said.
"But I've told you in advance that we don't have that much silver. I have a total of 17 taels, and I can only give you 10 taels at most. You still have to get the rest of the silver from somewhere else. Where's that bastard Gu Dashu? How could he be so cowardly as to ask you to borrow money from him?"
