Cannon Fodder Strategy

Duan Guilan came again the next day. This time she was not the only one who came back, but also members of the Shen family.

It is also in response to the saying that when you are poor in the busy city, no one knows you, but when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives.

When the Duan family was in decline, the Shen family shunned it out of fear. When Lily was making money by making handkerchiefs, and during the two years after Duan Guilan married, the Shen family was not related to the Liu family even though they were biological mothers. I have never moved around once before, and I don't see anyone asking for a letter during the New Year or the holidays, but now I have people knocking on my door to recognize my relatives.

Duan Guilan must have told her when she went back yesterday that Mother Shen brought Shen Tengwen with her. She also brought a bag of unknown items wrapped in brown paper and tied tightly with brown rope.

"Back then, Guilan and I were young and ignorant. After getting married, we didn't come back to see our biological mother. Now we're here too late." Shen's mother no longer had the fierceness she had when she heard that her son's hand was cut, and she had a smile on her face. meaning.

She talked about how outstanding her son was, the poverty of the Shen family, and Duan Guilan's ignorance. Her words implied that the Duan family owed the Shen family a lot. Although she didn't say it explicitly, she also revealed hope. The idea is to help the Shen family and help Shen Tengwen study.

Lily didn't answer the question, leaving Shen's mother alone. Shen's mother talked for a long time, but no one answered, which was a bit embarrassing.

When Shen Tengwen entered the door, his eyes fell on Lily.

It wasn't the first time he saw Lily, but it was the first time he felt amazed. When he first saw Lily more than two years ago, for some reason he was obsessed with it and thought that this girl was vicious and cruel. When he listened to Duan Guilan's words, he really thought that Duan's mother was partial, and he also believed that Lily was inciting Duan Guilan to follow and monitor him, but he didn't like her. He was quite malicious towards her, so much so that she almost died with him in order to save her name. Although she didn't die in the end, she still left a deep and long mark on his hand.

After that, he had long forgotten the original scene. Thinking of Mrs. Duan, the only image left of her was when she was wielding the scissors, and I felt quite resentful towards her. But now I see them again, they are two sisters from the same mother. But I was blind and married Duan Guilan. Now she is less than twenty and her figure is out of shape. He is lazy and lazy all day long, and his appearance is particularly ugly, because he is not like in the plot. After marrying Duan Guilan, he devoted himself to studying out of gratitude and prepared to obtain fame. He also lost contact with his former classmates, so he was in the marriage life. It's not as good as I imagined. The beauty is like jade, and after the red apricot is added to the fragrance, she feels deeply depressed and often goes out to have fun with her classmates.

Naturally, the classmates had seen Duan Guilan in such a situation. Several people had seen the eldest lady of the Duan family when she got married. They all made fun of him for throwing away the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds. They all thought he was a fool.

Shen Tengwen was originally arrogant, but seeing Duan Guilan became more and more unpleasant to him. Now when he saw Lily two years later, she was still as beautiful as before. She even looks a bit more beautiful than before. With Duan Guilan beside him as a foil, Shen Tengwen just felt that he was charming no matter how he looked. He had long regretted marrying a tigress like Duan Guilan in the past two years, despite being ugly. Also extremely jealous.

Besides, Mother Shen was right. Duan Guilan was most likely scheming in the first place. He deliberately provoked a relationship between him and Lily, making him misunderstand that Lily was a vicious villain, so that he missed such a God-given marriage.

Think about what Shen's mother said. She had met Lily before. She had a quiet and docile personality. She was beautiful and could win over her husband just by her looks. Why would she be sour and jealous and leave him like this before they got married? An impression? The most important thing is, even if Mrs. Duan is really so scheming, if she is so smart, why would she send her sister there instead of hiring someone else, so that she might not be suspicious of her.

The most important thing is that Duan Guilan's character was fully demonstrated after her marriage. She couldn't cook, she couldn't wash clothes, and in Shen's mother's words, she was surprisingly lazy. If such a person hadn't been so pampered by her mother's family, what would happen to her? How could he spoil such a young lady? In addition, she has a violent temper and is indeed not a master who listens to others. Sometimes Shen Tengwen asks her to get a glass of water, but she can't help but retort. When he just asked her to get up, she grabbed her and pushed her down. Beating such a vicious woman on the bed, Shen Tengwen really didn't believe that Lily would be obedient and willing if he ordered her to follow him.

What's more, something like this happened before the marriage. A few days before the marriage, when Shen Tengwen visited Chunfeng Tower again, there was no second Mrs. Duan to instigate her again, but Duan Guilan did something different from the original big fuss. Chunfang behaved exactly the same way, which made Shen Tengwen begin to confirm that Duan Guilan had disguised himself as a man and followed him, and made a fuss that Chunfang had nothing to do with Lily.

It's possible that she just knew that she couldn't get married and that she had a bright future, so she thought of a way to mess up the good relationship between herself and Mrs. Duan. She regretted that she was so young and ignorant that she was deceived by her.

Thinking of this, Shen Tengwen looked at Duan Guilan as if he wanted to eat someone.

He thought about what Shen's mother had said to him early this morning. If the red line in his marriage book had been tied to Lily, now he had a lovely wife. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also so capable that she could support him. With such a shop, how could I live the life I have now? The family was so poor that they could no longer support themselves. Not only did they owe a huge amount of money, they pawned all the things that should be pawned. Lily is good at female beauty and can earn money. If it hadn't been for that farce, his hand would not be ruined. With the money provided, he could study safely. His wife at home is so beautiful, and he would not always hang out with fireworks. In this land, the red sleeves add fragrance, and now maybe I will take the exam in the provincial capital this year, and now I will win the exam!

He was deceived by Duan Guilan and coaxed into marrying such an ignorant and vulgar woman. He was simply blind and ruined his life.

Thinking of how he now had nothing but his reputation as a scholar, Shen Tengwen's heart burned with rage, and he only hated Duan Guilan to death. When she went out this morning, what Shen's mother said still lingered in her mind. She said that since the Duan family could develop again and open a shop, she would advise him to live peacefully with Duan Guilan. It really makes a difference whether a woman has a natal family or not. The Shen family Shen Teng's writing skills were ruined, and his handwriting was now poor. In addition to pawning old items, Shen's father wrote letters for others to make ends meet.

But there will always be an end to everything. After all the things are pawned, the creditor comes to the door again. Father Shen is getting older. How long can his writing be able to support the family? If Father Shen gives up and goes back then, the Shen family will all be hungry. Shen Tengwen didn't win the entrance examination this year. If he has to wait for the next three years, it will still be a long time. The current situation at home cannot support him to study peacefully. The Shen family needs someone to support him.

Now that Duan Guilan's natal family has become prosperous again, even if Shen's mother disliked Duan Guilan before, she would have to bear to hang her up in the future.

It's just that at that time, Shen's mother did not agree with Shen Tengwen's marriage to Duan Guilan. At the beginning, he did not marry Duan Guilan because of the willfulness in his heart. He always felt that Shen's mother was not accurate in choosing people, and he wanted to find someone he liked. Now after knowing that she made a mistake in marrying Duan Guilan, Shen's mother asked Shen Tengwen and Duan Guilan to have a good life. The two couples were in trouble like this. Shen Tengwen's feelings towards Duan Guilan were no longer the loving and tolerant one they had been before. The more he looked at Duan Guilan, the more If you don't like her, how can you still live well with her?

Mother Shen didn't know what he was thinking. After giving instructions to her son, she sighed and said: "If I had married Madam Duan, she would be so capable, gentle, and beautiful now. She would be no better than Duan Guilan." Is this a troublemaker? Now she is a woman, and she has caused trouble in the cellar, which has really brought shame to our Shen family." After she finished speaking, Shen Tengwen felt even more regretful, and Mother Shen herself also regretted it. Then he didn't notice his son's appearance: "Although we are still Duan Guilan's natal family, to Mrs. Duan, we are still just Mrs. Duan's brother-in-law's family, not as good as her husband's family. Even if we can borrow some money, I'm afraid we will have to pay for it." Not much." The Shen couple both sighed, and now Shen Tengwen's intestines turned green when he thought of those words.

The various furnishings in the store are very exquisite. Lily is dressed plainly because she is not married yet. She is probably afraid of getting dirty when doing things on weekdays. She wears a long cyan skirt and a snow-cyan top, and wears her hair in a girl's bun. Shen Tengwen already knew that she was in her late twenties, but judging from her appearance, she was actually not much different from a girl in her twenties. She did not wear flowers in her hair, but her plain face made her face even more beautiful. Looking aside Duan Guilan, who was a little embarrassed, and Shen Tengwen felt uncomfortable and frowned.

"...I wonder where my mother-in-law is now?" Shen's mother talked for a long time, but when she saw Lily, she didn't say anything to her. She couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, so she asked about Mrs. Liu.

She had dealt with Mrs. Liu two years ago and knew that Mrs. Liu was partial to her little daughter. For her sake, she was even willing to sell the shop that Duan's father left behind. If she knew that Duan Guilan was not doing well now, what would happen to her? Will stretch out a few points. As soon as Mother Shen finished speaking, Lily stretched out her hand to support her chin, put her elbows on the counter, and waited for Mother Shen to speak for a while before speaking:

"My mother is resting in the backyard. She suffered from an old illness two years ago, which makes it inconvenient for her to see guests. We will not accept this gift. Duan Guilan and I rarely have contact with each other. The water thrown by the married daughter will still be rare in the future. On my side." After Lily finished speaking, she looked at Shen's mother's dull expression and smiled again: "Don't be in a hurry to get closer. Others don't know what the situation was like between our two families at the beginning. Could it be that you also Forgot? I just treat this family as non-existent, and I don’t recognize Duan Guilan as my sister, so go back." (To be continued~^~)

PS: First update~~~~~What good thing did I do yesterday? Everyone suddenly voted for me so enthusiastically. Could it be that they fell in love with me so much that they could not help themselves and fell into the curse of loving me?
