Cannon Fodder Strategy

Striving for a Right Man (Twenty-four)

Without the support of her husband's family, Duan Guilan's character was so spoiled by her that she was fearless. Mrs. Liu was really afraid that she would suffer a loss when she married into the Shen family.

If it was just to preserve her little daughter's reputation and not pamper her so much, Mrs. Liu might still have to endure it, but she was really sincerely worried about her little daughter for the rest of her life.

Now that their daughter has not yet married, the Shen family despises her so much. One can imagine what kind of end she will end up with even if she marries her later.

Duan Guilan was wearing a wedding dress. When she heard Mrs. Liu's words, she looked impatient: "It's hard for someone to marry me, why don't you marry me? Is it because in your mother's heart, only my sister is worthy of marrying someone like Shen Lang?" Duan Guilan said Speaking of this, she was a little anxious. She remembered that when Mrs. Liu arranged for Lily to marry Shen Tengwen, she always praised Shen Tengwen for being great and kept saying that she had made a good son-in-law. Now that it was her turn, Mrs. Liu was always talking about it. Cold water yourself?

In her heart, she felt that Mrs. Liu was very partial, and she couldn't help but feel resentful towards Mrs. Liu. As soon as she finished speaking these resentful words, Mrs. Liu naturally heard it. She felt a chill in her heart. If she didn't really love Duan Guilan, she was not sure whether Mrs. Liu would be able to say this. After all, with the Duan family in such an ending, she might not be able to support herself in the future. Duan Guilan is not involved in childbirth, and she often likes to get into trouble. Keeping such a girl by her side will only cause trouble for herself. At this time, she was kind-hearted and spoke for her, but she did not appreciate it and misunderstood her. Liu only felt that her temples were "thumping" He was beating violently, feeling flustered, unsteady on his feet, and fell down on the chair next to him.

Since last time, her leg bones have become misaligned. After not taking good care of himself, he developed some underlying diseases. He had severe throbbing pain at night, but Duan Guilan didn't bother him in the slightest. She sighed, thinking of her eldest daughter who used to be docile and obedient, but was now as alienated from her as if she were a stranger, and then looked at Duan Guilan, who was now smiling and wearing a wedding robe. His eyes were a little moist, and his heart was still somewhat sad.

Duan Guilan was still worried about her own appearance in the unclear bronze mirror. She had applied a thick layer of powder on her face, covering up her original wheat-colored skin, and her lips were painted bright red, but no matter how thick the powder was, Duan Guilan She always felt that the uneven skin on her face was very conspicuous, and she did not notice Liu's sudden depression. Instead, she reached out to touch her face. Although the skin and tender flesh that had healed after the injury had grown back, it felt a bit thicker than the original skin on the girl's face. An unknown fire surged in her heart. When she came up, she reached out and swept the simple cosmetic boxes on the dressing table to the floor: "Can you think of a better way to open my face more thinly?" She cried, Mrs. Liu herself was exhausted mentally and physically at this moment. But when he saw his little daughter like this, he had no choice but to cheer up and comfort her:

"On a big day, it is very unlucky to cry. Don't cry. If you cry carefully, your eyes will turn red. When you get to the Shen family, the old godly woman will make things difficult for you. Don't worry, although the scar is left, you are young and a girl's skin. It's tender. It's just more noticeable now. In a few years, it will gradually fade away." Liu's comfort did not make Duan Guilan happy. She remembered that the woman who painted Chunfang took a picture of herself with scissors. The pain on his face made his body tremble twice. I couldn’t help but complain again:

"My mother watched me being beaten that day and didn't save me." Mrs. Liu now heard her complain again and again. He had no choice but to hold back and remain silent.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Shen Tengwen finally entered the house. This time, although he did not invite anyone to blow the firecrackers along the way, the Shen family still invited a sedan for the sake of their own dignity. Duan Guilan was helped into the sedan and took a photo. According to the rules, when Duan Guilan was sent out, one of her natal family should send her off, but the Duan family did not have any close family members. The neighbors who had lived there for decades were familiar with each other, but because of this marriage, it was not possible. It's not very honorable. In addition, people who are familiar with Duan Guilan's marriage don't know how it came about. It's so dishonorable that people may not be willing to come, lest they get into trouble.

Ms. Liu herself was a widow, and it would be too unlucky to send her daughter off, so after much deliberation, she was about to call Lily to send Duan Guilan off for marriage, but Lily stopped her and said, "Mom, it's so whimsical. For Duan Guilan, Now I don't even have any face. You also know who the Shen family was originally engaged to be. I'm going to see off Duan Guilan. Do you think I didn't get enough advice because of Duan Guilan?" When Lily heard Liu's request , She almost sneered. Mrs. Liu herself knew that she was in the wrong. After hearing what Lily said, she swallowed her anger and said, "You always only have one sister. I know she is sorry for you, but even if she marries the Shen family, everything will be different." It’s already a foregone conclusion, no matter how hard you try, you can’t force it, so why not be more generous..."

"It's better to say it than to sing it. Let's not talk about the nonsense that the sour scholar named Shen ruined my reputation. I saw that he had to give him a few more slaps to relieve the hatred in my heart, even if my mother is not afraid of me. After Duan Guilan's marriage happened, I won't embarrass this person and expose him like this." Ms. Liu felt that she had no longer argued with Lily, but now she was still speaking sarcastically, feeling angry and a little bit in her heart at the same time. Hate: "People like you are so small-minded. Your sister only offended you once, but you will hate her for the rest of your life. It is so heartless and unjust. If you don't go, forget it. I won't ask you, I will go myself!" Liu Liu Shi finished speaking angrily, and before she could turn around and leave, Lily closed the door with a bang in front of her. This move made Liu Shi tremble with anger, and she couldn't recover for a long time.

This time Lily failed to go to Duan Guilan's wedding to cause a scene, but in the end Duan Guilan's marriage still didn't go smoothly.

Once the Shen family's wedding team took Duan Guilan out of the house, they encountered someone who was about to enter the city halfway. They didn't know what they were like, and they even dispatched officers and soldiers. When they entered the city, the officers and soldiers happened to be blocking the road. Then he intercepted the Shen family's wedding team. Ms. Liu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at that time, fearing that she would miss the right time, but the Shen family remained unhurried. They even saw Mrs. Liu's anxious look. The woman from the Shen family who came to welcome the bride, I didn't know who it was, and even made a sarcastic comment, which made Mrs. Liu very angry at that time.

Based on her past temper, she would have been angry at being blocked like this, but she thought of her daughter's big day today. So he forcibly endured this tone. Once the road is blocked, the Shen family's welcoming team will have to choose another road to move forward, which will inevitably take some detours and may miss the auspicious time of getting married. The Shen family urged the sedan to carry Duan Guilan and ran to the Shen family. Ms. Liu was running beside the sedan. Her foot was originally injured and had not been healed well, which caused the root cause of the disease. Now she felt excruciating pain when she ran, and she had not even taken a few steps. She was sweating all over. When she finally endured the pain and came to the Shen family, she saw that the Shen family had only prepared a few tables for the wedding. There were not many people who came to congratulate her. Many people were supposed to cook and help. People were sitting around talking and laughing.

Thinking of running all the way, I was afraid that I would miss the right moment. As a result, the Shen family was unprepared for many things, and the Liu family vented their anger at that time.

"The auspicious time has come. My mother-in-law hasn't prepared anything yet, and marriage is not a trivial matter. Isn't this a bit too disrespectful to my Guilan?" When Mrs. Liu arrived at Shen's house, no one came around to carry a stool and hand out water. , Mother Shen came out when she heard the noise outside. Marrying my daughter was originally a great joy, but now it was worse than marrying someone to fill a house, and I felt a little resentful in my heart. Mrs. Liu suppressed her anger and forced a smile when she saw Shen's mother opening her mouth and asked.

Unexpectedly, she was still holding back from getting angry. Shen's mother suddenly turned gloomy when she heard what she said: "My family is poor, so I have to keep everything simple. It makes you laugh, and I don't let you cling to high branches." Shen's mother said at that time. Ms. Liu was so choked that she couldn't come to her senses for a long time, until she came to her senses. The glares from the people around her made her feel uncomfortable. His body began to tremble.

She had endured her grievances all the way, and now she was treated so coldly when she arrived at the Shen family. She just said a word, and Shen's mother would slap her in the face with her words. Ms. Liu was so angry that she panicked and her face became ugly.

Mother Shen only looked at Liu's livid face with cold eyes. He sneered again and again: "It's just that I don't want my relatives to see the joke today. Everyone knows everything. You also know what kind of thing your daughter is. I can let my son marry her. It's already good. , what else do you want?" Not to mention Mrs. Liu's anger, Mother Shen also had nowhere to vent her anger.

The son did not listen to his own words, and insisted on marrying Duan Guilan as if he was obsessed with it. This marriage was originally decided by his son. After he found out about Duan Guilan's character, and that she had caused such a result to his son, he was deeply worried. Shen's mother was very dissatisfied with her, but her son wanted to marry her, which made Shen's mother the most unhappy.

No mother wants to see her son not even listening to her own words to other women. Although Mother Shen compromised for her son, she was holding back anger in her heart. At this time, seeing Mrs. Liu coming and making so many demands, she also She couldn't bear it any longer, and Mrs. Liu's face turned blue and red, red and purple, as she spoke.

"What kind of thing is my daughter?" Mrs. Liu was trembling with anger. Duan Guilan, whom she regarded as a treasure, was seen as worse than grass in the eyes of others. She endured it all the way, but now Mother Shen kept saying it again and again. , mentioning these again and again, thinking of the day when Mother Shen brought people to her house to fight and make trouble, Ms. Liu's face turned red, she raised her voice and screamed: "What happened to my daughter? "She really couldn't care anymore. The Shen family was bullying others too much. When Mrs. Liu got angry, the suppressed anger in Mother Shen's heart also surged up:

"How is your daughter? You don't know? Before she got married, she followed a man to that dirty place. When she saw the man, she even lost her soul. Seeing that my son was selected as a scholar, he shamelessly snatched my sister's man, and even made my son's hands numb. If it's ruined, your daughter will be a disaster, a shameless thing!" Mother Shen also took the risk. Anyway, this time Shen Tengwen got married, everyone who came was well-informed. She didn't have the nerve to invite more people, she just felt so embarrassed on her face. Panic, everyone knew about this marriage, and Shen's mother was not afraid of being laughed at if she made a fuss.

When Ms. Liu heard Shen's mother talking about this, she felt heartbroken, thinking of her two good daughters. If it weren't for Shen Tengwen, how could Lily and Duan Guilan be in such trouble? If it weren't for Shen Tengwen, how could Duan Guilan be like this? Will he go to the art studio and even make a fuss? If she didn't know this person, how could she ruin his painting studio and reputation?

Now that the eldest daughter can't get married, it doesn't matter. Duan's Buzhuang, his life's work, has also been sold out because of this matter. Although Duan Guilan was wrong in this matter, if he hadn't gotten to know the Shen family, how could he have gotten into all this trouble and even lost all his family fortune?

Mother Shen now keeps saying that Duan Guilan is a disaster star, but that's in her own opinion. Isn't the Shen family the bane of the Duan family?

"Okay, mother, please take some rest on this big day." Shen Tengwen didn't expect that Mrs. Liu would already have a quarrel with Shen's mother as soon as they met. In panic, he first got off the donkey with help from others and tried to persuade his mother. Who would have thought that it would be okay if he didn't say this, but when he said this, Mother Shen became furious.

My daughter-in-law is not married yet. Now it's okay for Shen Tengwen to protect her everywhere, even Liu, an old man, he has to protect. If this continues for a long time, what status will his own mother still have? No matter how much Mother Shen dotes on her son, Shen Tengwen's behavior now makes Mother Shen unbearable. She pushed her son hard: "Go away, the little fairy has fascinated you. Now even the old can be fascinated." Are you speaking for others? If you don’t make progress, your hand will be ruined. How will you use it to write in the future? "

If you want to be an official, you must not have any physical disability. When Shen's mother thinks that her son's future is ruined and he is still devoted to Duan Guilan, she becomes so angry that her liver hurts. Curses kept coming from his mouth.

People around her came up to persuade her and watched. Mrs. Liu endured it again and again. The more she heard her scolding, the more unpleasant it became, but finally she couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly: "My daughter is a Sangmen star, who is your son? You Shen family is also a disaster, a broom star! If it weren't for Shen Tengwen, my two daughters would not have turned against each other, and my Duan family's clothing store would not have lost everything..."

"Mother..." Duan Guilan didn't expect Mrs. Liu to get angry at this time, and she was immediately confused. She called Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu couldn't listen at all. When Shen's mother heard this, she was like adding oil to a hot pot and sneered:

"If you had taught your little daughter to behave properly, it would not have harmed you. Your Duan Family Cloth Village will not pay compensation this time. As long as Duan Guilan is here, you will have to pay everything as soon as possible! Shameless thing, My sister also wants to fight for her man, why are you so shameless, at such a young age, so in need of a man!"

Mrs. Liu couldn't bear it anymore, and she screamed "Ouch" and rushed towards Shen's mother: "I will fight with you." Before they formally went to the church to get married, Shen's mother was so harsh on Duan Guilan and used these words to offend her. As time goes by, what kind of good life can Duan Guilan live if she marries into the Shen family?

Seeing Mrs. Liu rushing toward her, Mother Shen was not to be outdone. The two of them struggled together, tearing each other's hair and rolling it into a ball.

Unexpectedly, during this wedding trip, the two in-laws started to fight in public. Everyone was a little dumbfounded at first, but when they came to their senses and cleverly went to call Father Shen out, Mrs. Liu and Mother Shen had already been pulled away.

This is the territory of the Shen family, and Mrs. Liu is alone. When she was pulled away, she was held up by someone, and her face was covered with blood from Shen's mother. She was so excited that she couldn't feel the blood on her face. pain.

"What are you talking about?" Father Shen shouted angrily, and there were a lot of discussions and pointing in this direction.

Duan Guilan also didn't expect that something like this would happen on her wedding day. She was young and this was the first time she encountered such a battle. She was shocked. When she heard Father Shen's accusation, she squatted next to Mrs. Liu and just said: She felt a little panicked and helpless. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that she would live in the Shen family in the future. Now that the situation was like this, Duan Guilan cried while crying: "Mom, it's all your fault. Why can't you bear it?"

He stood up for her, but now his younger daughter is complaining.

Thinking that because of this little daughter, he had lost his shop and had nothing to rely on for the rest of his life. The relationship between his eldest daughter, who was originally obedient and submissive, was also very tense. Now that he stood up for her, she had to complain about it. Mrs. Liu felt like she was suffering Blow. Her lips were trembling and tears were rolling in her eyes. For a moment, she felt a severe pain in her heart. She couldn't recover for a long time. There was a sound of "hoohoo" in her throat, and she fell down straight away. She could only hear the screams of people around her. Shouting, Liu fainted.

Lily was still practicing star training at home, when someone came to the door and banged the door.

The person who came to knock on the door was a middle-aged woman who claimed to be a relative of the Shen family. As soon as she saw Lily holding her wrist, she shouted: "Madam, something happened to your mother."

Mrs. Liu had suffered a sudden stroke. She was lying on two temporary stools set up by the Shen family. Drool kept drooling from the corner of her mouth and her body was trembling. Duan Guilan was sitting beside her all alone. When Lily came, Duan Guilan His eyes were already red and swollen, and the Shen family sat aside. A happy event was held in a deserted manner.

"Your mother is doing this because she is blaming herself. It has nothing to do with us." She was afraid that Lily would rely on her. When she saw Lily coming, Shen's mother hurriedly said this.

Father Shen glared at her, and Mother Shen reluctantly said: "What a bad luck! As soon as I walked through the door, my mother became like this. After entering the door for a long time, we two old people still can't be beaten." Die?" She complained. Duan Guilan was helpless at the moment. After hearing this, he could only cry quietly. He did not dare to cry loudly and make Shen's mother unhappy, for fear that she would let her go back to Duan's house.

"This time, for the sake of my mother-in-law, we will accept Duan Guilan. However, if you really want to taint the story of my mother-in-law's fainting, I won't admit it. I won't recognize Duan Guilan's daughter-in-law either. At worst, I will file a lawsuit. When I go to court, there are many people here who can testify for me, but I didn't even touch her clothes." When Shen's mother said this, she glanced at Shen Tengwen hatefully, and Shen Tengwen lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.

After all, the matter was related to his mother's life. Although he wanted to marry Duan Guilan, he still had concerns. When Duan Guilan heard that Shen's mother was still willing to let her stay, she felt relieved and said hurriedly: "It's not your fault." After she finished speaking, she looked at Lily again, with pleading in her eyes, calling for the first time. Her: "Sister..."

Mrs. Liu always loved and cared for Duan Guilan. At first, she was reluctant to bear any pain for her and pampered her everywhere, but now she has spoiled such a daughter.

Lily sneered in her heart, Mrs. Liu's own beloved daughter had given up standing up for her, so naturally she would not stand up for Mrs. Liu, and maybe she would end up being a human being inside and out.

"In this case, please ask Auntie to find someone to take Mom home for me." She didn't cry, but she was very calm. Secondly, she didn't argue with Shen's mother. Compared with Duan Guilan, who was useless at the side. , I don’t know how many times better this lady of the Duan family is.

Even though Shen's mother didn't have a good impression of the Duan family, she still secretly scolded her son for having no vision, not to mention making her family a laughing stock and ruining her future because of Duan Guilan. Such a girl whose appearance and personality are no worse than Duan Guilan doesn't know how to marry her, but instead wants to marry a troublemaker who doesn't know the heights of the world. Lily didn't make a fuss. Liu became like this after she quarreled with her again. Mother Shen had to suppress the anger in her heart and had people lift Liu up and send her back to Duan's house.

After Mrs. Liu was carried away, the interrupted worship ceremony began to continue. It's just that the timing is too late, and something like this happened again before, so the worship service was also deserted.

Ms. Liu was sent back to the small courtyard. Lily filled her with water and wiped her face. She was still going to hire a doctor for Ms. Liu.

In the plot, although Duan Baihe was not willing to let her life end in such a tragedy, since the original owner had never wished to take revenge on the Liu family, Lily did not want to leave the Liu family alone, even if the Liu family was doomed to fail in the future, she could always She is also Duan Baihe’s biological mother.

It's just that there isn't much money at home, and Mrs. Liu usually guards her very closely, so Lily doesn't even know where the money is hidden. Fortunately, before the Duan family shop was sold, she hid some rags. During the period before Duan Guilan got married, Mrs. Liu had no time to take care of her. In addition to practicing physical skills, she also made a few purses and handkerchiefs. Now My son had to take these things out and exchange them for dozens of dollars before hiring a doctor.

The roads in the city were still blocked, and many officers and soldiers were waiting on the way. The people around her were talking a lot. Lily asked the doctor to go home and give Liu an injection and give her medicine. Liu woke up leisurely in the middle of the night.

When she opened her eyes, Ms. Liu obviously hadn't come back to her senses. She saw the dilapidated house she rented and her eldest daughter sitting next to her. Her cloudy eyes gradually regained consciousness. She remembered what happened to Shen before she fainted. Duan Guilan, whom she regarded as a thorn in her side, complained about what happened at home. Now that something happened, she was served by her eldest daughter, whom she had not loved much in the past. Ms. Liu burst into tears. (To be continued ~^~)
