Chapter 958 Everyone Has a White Moonlight (25)
It turned out that the old woman and her daughter were none other than Chu Hanzhou's remarried mother Li Yue'er, and her grandmother who supported her remarriage.
Even though the old woman blames her daughter now, if you think about it, she was very supportive of her daughter remarrying in the past.
After all, Chu Hanzhou's father left something before he passed away. Although he left a generous inheritance, he also stipulated that Li Yue'er could only use the Chu family's property, and there was a fixed limit every month.
At first, Li Yueer didn't think there was anything wrong, but as time went on, she gradually became tired of this restricted life.
Because her mother could not get more money from her daughter to subsidize her son, she began to encourage her husband to remarry.
What the old woman said at that time was completely opposite to her attitude now.
"What's the point of being the mistress of the house? You're always being controlled by others and can only look at the money but can't spend it!" Li's mother said with a "regrettable" tone, as if she really felt sorry for her daughter.
"It's a pity that you have become a widow at such a young age and still have no freedom." These words deeply touched Li Yueer's heart.
After repeated persuasion, Li Yueer also felt that she was indeed "pitiful".
Later, Li's mother often said similar things to her, making her increasingly dissatisfied with the current situation.
In the end, Li Yueer decided to remarry in pursuit of so-called freedom and wealth.
Her mother helped her find that family. Although the family was not as well-off as the Chu family, they were also quite well-off. The key point was that the other party gave a lot of betrothal gifts.
After Li Yue got married, everything was fine at first, but as time went on, a gap in their lives began to appear.
The Chu family is a scholarly family. They pay attention to etiquette in their conduct and work, and they are also more particular about food, clothing and other expenses than ordinary families. However, her new husband's family.
Although he was rich, he lived a rough life.
This made Li Yue'er, who had already gotten used to life in the Chu family, feel very uncomfortable to some extent, but she had already married into the family and had no choice but to endure it.
There is an unpredictable situation in the sky, and people will be banished.
A few years later, a flood hit Li Yue'er's village, and her husband died in the flood while trying to save her. Although her husband's original children had already started their own families, none of them were willing to support this "unlucky" stepmother.
Li Yue'er had no choice but to go back to her parents' home.
When they just arrived at her mother's house, they found out that their brother also died in the flood and their house was gone. The two of them decided to go back to the Chu family to find Li Yue'er's biological son, Chu Hanzhou.
"He is your own son after all. How can he watch you starve to death?" Li's mother rolled her eyes. "According to his age, he should get married. If you go, you will have a ready-made daughter-in-law to serve you. Isn't that good?"
After being persuaded like this, Li Yueer made up her mind and came over.
At this moment, the two of them began to discuss in the room.
"I just heard that my grandson's future wife will come from a wealthy family." Mother Li was now mixed with joy and worry. "But girls raised in such families are usually spoiled. Will they not obey you as a mother-in-law?"
Li Yue'er disagreed: "Such a woman is easy to manage! She has been educated by etiquette and laws, and whatever her mother-in-law says is what she does. Who made her so well-educated? If you meet an unreasonable mother-in-law, you will just be bullied."
Mother Li thought about it and agreed.
On the other side, Chu Hanzhou, who had bought buns, was waiting at the door of the dental clinic. He had an appointment with Su Xiangran to go house hunting together today.
The houses I looked at the previous times were all average, but recently a family was going to move to another place to live with their son, so they wanted to sell the house they lived in.
The location and size are suitable, but the house is a bit old, but it doesn't matter.
Anyway, the wedding is next year, Chu Hanzhou thought, if the house is suitable today, just decide on it and renovate it when the time comes.
It’s not a big deal to just tear it down and rebuild it.
Not long after, the Su family's carriage stopped in front of Chu Hanzhou.
Su Xiangran did not get off the car, but Qingwu stuck her head out and said, "Mr. Chu, you must have been waiting for a long time! Miss, please come in and sit down."
Having said that, Qing Wu got off the carriage and let Chu Hanzhou get in.
Although he was a teacher who taught liberal arts, he had also learned the six arts of a gentleman very well and was very agile. He slipped into the carriage in a flash.
Qingwu came back to her senses only after the curtain was lowered. She and the coachman looked at each other, and for the first time she had an idea - her future son-in-law might have been transformed from a "monkey".
But Chu Hanzhou didn't know all this. He was sitting in the carriage at the moment, looking at Su Xiangran with joy. The strange look in his eyes made one think he was possessed by something.
Because she got up a little early, Su Xiangran was resting her eyes with her hands on her head. When she heard the noise, she knew that Chu Hanzhou had got on the car. She changed her usual dignified manner and said coquettishly, "If it's that unreliable house again this time, I won't let you off!"
Chu Hanzhou took a few steps forward, and finally couldn't help
He pulled Su Xiangran into his arms and didn't mention the house search anymore. He just said with concern: "Didn't you sleep well last night? You fell asleep as soon as you got in the car!"
