I Am a Wishing Tree
Chapter 24: Episode 02
"Wu Niang, you yesterday...what do you mean?"
Li Chengyu, who had just entered the door, was going to ask He Ai how he went back to her parents' house yesterday, but was taken aback by the contents of a piece of paper handed over by He Ai who stood up.
"My meaning is very clear, sign and leave quickly, I have decided to fulfill you and your true love!"
Li Chengyu frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "I heard that my uncle has been ill for a long time, but he has not recovered. I am planning to visit with you today, why do you still have the heart to be jealous here!"
He Ai smiled lightly, "Li Chengyu, after signing this, my He family has nothing to do with you, my brother is no longer your uncle, don't bother you!"
The idea of our Li He family is a family friend, don't make trouble..."
Such absurd words can be said in such a righteous manner, but in this big environment, it is normal, He Ai is really impatient to continue listening.
"Li Chengyu, if you don't want me to make trouble, you should sign this for me quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for publicizing the affair between you and your good cousin!"
Li Chengyu immediately became furious when he heard this, but when he saw the past, every time he saw him, he would always be overjoyed. There was the slightest affection, and for some reason, an unspeakable emotion flooded in an instant.
But then she remembered the threat in her words, and in a fit of anger, she grabbed the pen that He Ai had prepared, dipped it in the researched ink, and quickly signed his name on the book and the book , Seeing He Ai holding the ink pad in his hand, he was even more angry, and pressed the fingerprint directly without hesitation.
"It's so good, I'm going to go home later, my parents are not at home, when they come back, Mr. Lao Li will help explain, as for my dowry, I will leave it to Qing Xing and the others are responsible for sorting, and after packing, please send me back to the He House as soon as possible!"
Li Chengyu sneered, "Don't worry, your dowry will never be less of you, He Wuniang, you are so determined today, don't regret it in the future!"
"Li San Gongzi, don't worry, one is different from the other, each is happy, and there is no regret in death!"
"You!"
Li Chengyu glared at her angrily, and finally flung her sleeves away, waiting on the side, Qing Xing, who had a panoramic view of this scene, worried.
"Miss, you made such a big decision without discussing it with Madam and the others. I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it to your family when you go back!"
He Ai held the corner of the Heli book and waved it slightly, trying to make the newly written handwriting dry quickly. For her, nothing was as important as the paper and the book.
"You don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own measure, you just do as I say, and pack my dowry according to the dowry list!"
Seeing that He Ai had made up his mind and had a firm attitude, and did not listen to persuasion at all, Qing Xing had to wipe her tears and then retreated with the others. Qing Guo, who was also the big maid, was waiting beside her with two little maids.
"Is all my usual things packed?"
"Packed up, the carriages are arranged!"
"Then go!"
Li Mansion is not too far from He Mansion. They are also big families in Xuanyang City. The area in the south of the city where they live is the gathering place of famous wealthy families in Xuanyang City.
It is different from the situation where the Li family lives in one big house with multiple rooms.
He Ai's family is five-bedroom and lives in a three-entry house near the He's ancestral home. Seeing He Ai, who only returned home yesterday, came back today, the original owner's mother, who was already frowning , Although Liu Conglan knew that she was thinking about her brother wholeheartedly, she couldn't say anything at the time. When He Ai visited her brother He Ji first, after returning to the backyard, she still blamed her in private.
"Wu Niang, you are married after all, how can you come to your mother's house every day? This will make the Li family dissatisfied!"
I planned to teach the married daughter in private, but there was no one left to wait around the two, He Ai looked at Liu Conglan with a serious attitude.
"Mother, I've heard about my brother's bad situation. Although I hope my ancestors will bless my brother and let him get through this difficult time, things in this world are unpredictable, and life and death are determined. Manpower is reversible, we must prepare both hands early!"
Hearing this, Liu Conglan, who was in a panic, replied subconsciously, "What are you preparing for?"
"Mother, father, his old man has passed away, you are the head of the family now, whether you want to listen to it or not, for the sake of our family, you still have to be strong, brother is the family The only man, if he has an emergency, we will have a house of women and children left in our family, what will we do with our livelihood in the future, and how will those people in the clan deal with it, have you thought about it?"
Liu Conglan shook her head tearfully, she really didn't want to think about such a terrible future, she just wanted to have extravagant hopes and hope that He Ji would get better soon.
"So, mother, my brother can't fall no matter what, even if God is jealous of Yingcai, we have to let He Ji live well!"
Liu Conglan looked at He Ai puzzled, "Wu Niang, what do you mean? Why does Niang sound a little confused!"
I have seen He Ying with my own eyes. He Ai, who is instinctively most sensitive to vital energy, has already judged in an instant that the other party is about to run out of oil and the lamp will be exhausted. If her spirit body can enter In the opponent's body, he can use his own powerful vitality to save the opponent's life.
But this is obviously unrealistic, after all, she has no ability to display the energy in her spiritual body at all. At the same time, constrained by the rules, she can only return to the body without the body of the wisher. There is only one way to go, and she has no ability to attach to others. Therefore, she has no ability to save He Ji, who is terminally ill.
"Mom, I mean, even if there is an emergency for my brother, we must keep this person alive, for example, let me live for my brother!"
Liu Conglan was taken aback, "Wu Niang, what nonsense are you talking about? How is this possible? You are already married, and you are the third young mistress of the Li family!"
"Mother, as long as I'm no longer the third young grandmother of the Li family, it's fine, if anything happens to my brother, I will live in the name of my brother, but we can't let our five rooms be killed by those clansmen Divide it up!"
The original owner's father died when she was thirteen years old. At that time, there were clansmen jumping up and down, saying that they were poor and should not have such a large family property. It is reasonable to give up some and leave it to the clan to help take care of it.
If He Ju's previous results in the academy examinations were not out in time, and he still got excellent grades and ranked first, which was praised by the academic and political adults, those clan talents would give up, I am afraid that their five-bedroom family property would be in In the case of males, they were almost taken up by a large part.
If the only male is also lost now, what kind of situation the fifth room will be in, Liu Conglan can't imagine at all, seeing that the Yanji medicine stone is ineffective, the condition is getting worse day by day, before she She has been deceiving herself and trying to avoid this problem, but now, with He Ai's repeated reminders, she has to start to face this problem.
The method He Ai said also made her very moved. After all, He Ai and He Ju are twins. Although they are a man and a woman, their facial features are 90% alike. Genders are different. When they grow up, one is more heroic and the other is softer. When they were young, they wore the same clothes, and others couldn't tell who was who.
"How should the Li family explain?"
He Ai took out the He Lishu she had carefully collected and put it in front of Liu Conglan.
"Don't worry, mother, before coming home, I asked Li Chengyu to sign this for me, and it will be related from now on!"
Liu Conglan stared at He Lishu with wide eyes, she couldn't believe it was her own, always gentle and virtuous daughter. The opinions of their maidens.
But now, looking at the paper and the book, not only is she not angry, but she feels relieved, but then she feels sad again.
"Pity my son, why are you all so miserable!"
He Ai patted the back of Liu Conglan who was holding her sobbing and comforted.
The man who is not worth my nostalgia, there is nothing to cry!"
Liu Conglan looked at her suspiciously, "But you haven't always been deeply in love with him, how could you figure it out so quickly and be willing to let go?"
"Seeing my brother's current situation, how can I still think about the love of my children and other people? When I think of my brother's good or bad, not only will you and your sister-in-law and nieces live without support, but even Those of us who are married will also have no family to rely on, so we are worried. The Li family is also a den of tigers and wolves. The husband still has an outsider. How, the family is together, and the heart is always quiet!"
He Ai's explanation is reasonable and well-founded, and it is still in line with the character of the original owner.
"I really don't know what kind of luck this is in our family! I go to the temple every year to give alms, and I also donate to those poor people. Why is the family so unhappy! How can God not open his eyes, Bless our family!"
In fact, it's been a blessing, otherwise, He Ai would not be sitting here without her.
Three days later, the original owner's dowry was deducted from some wastage, and it was basically brought back as it was according to the dowry list. After the master and wife of the third room of the Li family returned home, they learned that their own son had divorced his eldest daughter-in-law. The formalities on the yamen side have been completed, even if the heart is unwilling, there is no way to restore it, so I have to give up.
But less than half a month later, He Ai, who was away from home, heard that he had suffered a serious illness due to excessive sadness. The medicine stone was ineffective, and he was in bed for several days, and finally passed away.
When Li Chengyu heard the news, he was surprised and puzzled. He clearly remembered He Ai's decision when he forced him to sign and leave the book. Because of this, he has been in a bad mood these days. , Who knew that in less than half a month, he got this bad news, which made him really hard to believe, but at the same time, he was also very sad and regretful.
, but influenced by the network information of modern society, he knows a lot of small tricks.
For example, how to use some small means, you can change your pulse equal.
In the last time when He Yu finally couldn't hold it, He Ai, who had been pretending to be weak, suddenly insisted on going to visit his seriously ill brother, taking this opportunity, where is he? After passing away, quickly switch positions.
The main parties, Liu Conglan and He Ji's wife, Chen Mingxiu, changed their clothes and groomed themselves personally, and never let outsiders approach them on the grounds that He Ai went to the front of her body and looked detrimental.
Since the onset of the disease, He Ji, who has been in decline, was in a shriveled figure, and looked almost the same as He Ai, who was shorter than him. .
"Three young masters, the He family said that because of the status of the five girls in their family, and they died as teenagers, and the uncle of the He family was seriously ill, but because of the death of the fifth girls, Heartbroken, sicker and sicker, there are few people in the house who can take charge, so everything is simple, only entertaining his close relatives, and don't bother other foreign relatives!"
Li Chengyu, who is only 19 years old, even if she is very talented, like He Ji, she has already achieved the status of Juren last year and is a highly sought after young hero.
"Wu Niang is my wife! How can I watch her life be dealt with so carelessly, since the He family has no one to deal with it, she can be handed over to me to deal with, she is my wife, It is only right and proper for me to do it!"
The manager who came to answer was hesitant to say anything, and was hesitating whether to tell the ugly things He Fu said when he saw them and the Li family, when he heard a voice from outside .
"Chengyu, what is the reason for the He family to do business, since you have already signed the letter of reconciliation with Ai Niang and your father behind my back, how is Ai Niang, all with my Li family It doesn't matter, don't send anyone to the He's house again!"
Li Chengyu frowned when she heard the words, "Mother, how can you say that? When Ai Niang was at home, she was always filial and respectful to you and your father. You have always gotten along very well. Is that the attitude?"
The third wife of the Li family, Mrs. Jiang, waved her hand to signal to the steward and the servant who came to answer, and then pointed at him with an angry face.
"Because you have divorced her! Mrs. He is no longer our daughter-in-law of Li's family. I told you not to be halfhearted and to cherish the people in front of you. Mrs. He's character is outstanding, right You are deeply affectionate, you and her brother still have classmate friendship, the Li He family are not only close friends, but also old relatives, don't make trouble too ugly, the result?"
See Li Chengyu's remorse.
"Mother, I knew I was wrong, so I thought..."
Jiang shi sat on the chair beside him with a tired face, waved his hand, and interrupted him directly.
"So you'd better not do anything now, Ai Niang died early, and it has nothing to do with the **** things you did, stop doing superfluous things, and appear less in front of people and He's family , make people less angry, it is the most important thing you should do now and in the future!"
Even if he was unwilling, Li Chengyu, who was poured cold water by Jiang's outspokenness, calmed down and had to face up to the fact that he had signed a reconciliation book with He Ai, and it was irrelevant from now on. In fact, my heart mourns endlessly.
The bleak fifth room of the He family added a little joy.
He Ai, who has been holding the identity of He Ju since then, was first stimulated by the premature death of his twin sister, and his condition became more serious, and then inspired by the good news that his family was about to add a baby, he unexpectedly survived in a desperate situation, one day It recovered faster than a day, which was a miracle, and there were many theories in Xuanyang City.
He Ai and his twin brothers and sisters share the same fate, and the death of He Ji, who was seriously ill and incurable, was replaced by his sister, and he had a chance to survive.
It wasn't until two or three months later, when He Ai slowly got better, that he came to visit Chen Mingxiu, who had never met during this period of time to avoid being hit by the 'sickness'. Although for the whole play, there are maids and maids on both sides to convey the latest situation of each other in real time every day.
Seeing that He Ji's condition not only did not improve at all, but continued to deteriorate, Liu Conglan, who had to accept her fate, found Chen Mingxiu in private and asked her about her plans.
Chen Mingxiu, who has an excellent relationship with her husband, resolutely stated at that time that if He Ji had an emergency, she would stay for the rest of her life and never marry again. Liu Conglan told He Ai's plan. .
Even if Chen Mingxiu is willing to cooperate with this matter, but the death of He Ji has brought her too much blow, which is really sad to the extreme. , I feel hopeless in the future.
If it hadn't been for a young daughter, Chen Mingxiu would have almost reached the point of death. When she found out that she still had a child in her womb, she was just a mother, and she quickly broke out. new impetus.
Since this period of time, her whole body has recovered very quickly, she has followed the doctor's instructions everywhere, and cooperated with meticulous maintenance of her body. With a little sadness.
"I am relieved to see my sister-in-law in good health. Those people and events in the past can be left in memory and cherished. People always have to look forward, no matter how difficult it is, they must learn Let it go and move forward lightly!"
Chen Mingxiu nodded and smiled with tears in her eyes, "I know, Ai Niang, thank you, if you weren't here, our family might be scattered!"
"Whatever my sister-in-law said, I am also a member of this family. I grew up under the protection of my parents and brothers and sisters. What I do is my share. Family, don't say anything. Thank you No thanks, let alone a psychological burden, whether it's a boy or a girl, with me, they won't be wronged!"
Like her mother-in-law Liu Conglan, Chen Mingxiu, who was full of hope that this child was a boy, heard the words. Hearing this, she was obviously relieved and lowered her head.
"Ai Niang, thank you!"
After thanking her, she hesitated before continuing.
news, why is that?"
She will get along with each other day and night in the name of husband and wife in the future, what she wants to do next will not be able to hide from each other, so He Ai calmly replied.
"I want to continue my brother's unfulfilled wish to comfort his spirit in heaven and to provide you with better shelter in the future."
Chen Mingxiu disapproved, "Your brother is too eager to learn. In order to be able to lift up early, he often wakes up five shifts and sleeps hard in the middle of the night to study hard, and it hurts his foundation at a young age. , after a serious illness, people are gone, and now you are the backbone of the family, if you are ruined by this study and career, we as a family will have no hope!"
Seeing that Chen Mingxiu started crying again, He Ai quickly comforted him.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I just have this idea, with my brother's lessons learned, I will definitely cherish my body very much and will not do my best. During the period of using recuperation as an excuse, you can still close the door and thank guests and stay at home, but in the future, if you will go out to visit relatives and friends, you should read more of your brother’s books, and go out in the future, so you are not afraid of revealing your secrets!”
Chen Mingxiu wiped away her tears and said, "That's right, our daughter's family has never touched the sage books of their men in the past, but I would rather declare to the public that you are sick and hurt your brain. , I can't remember people and things, and I don't want you to force yourself!"
He Ai responded quickly, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I promise you, I will not force myself!"
It is impossible not to force, He Ai will continue to take a long-term recuperation for his weak body, and he will be hit hard for the untimely death of his most beloved sister, He Ai. , still closed to thank you.
In private, in addition to learning the Four Books and Five Classics, she also asked a nursing home from a reliable source who knew some basic kung fu to teach her martial arts. At the same time, she also tried to follow the records in some books. way of exercising.
Of course, these are just to cover up, after all, in the previous world, she has accumulated a lot of experience in exercising.
"Ai Niang, how did I hear that you have been selling your dowry all this time? But if you need money, you can tell your mother why you need to move those dowries. Woolen cloth?"
He Ai took her mother and sat down before saying.
"Mother, I want to remind you of two things now. The first one is that I will be the Dalang of the He family in the future. You and your sister-in-law, whether in front of or behind others, must always call My brother is used to me, and I accept this fact with all my heart!"
"Secondly, it is meaningless to keep these dowries, except for the farmhouses that Qing Xing and the others take care of, and the money from selling other things, including cash in Inside, I plan to open an academy in the name of my brother and I to help some poor children from poor families who can't afford to go to school, just to accumulate virtue for our brothers and sisters, and also for our family!"
"This is a good thing, I support you for your mother, but what can you do with enough money? You can get a lot of money to run a college! One of your fathers, she was born in a big businessman in Nanjun, and her dowry was very rich back then, most of it belonged to our five houses, although your sisters got married, your mother gave a lot, but there are still many left!"
If it weren't for the crisis, her little daughter would stand up to support their five houses. These enviable properties would have been distributed by those clansmen in various names.
The so-called daughter, she is now the adopted daughter, so as long as He Ai uses the money, she will never say nothing.
Although He Ai said he didn't need it, Liu Conglan still sent a lot of money. Even Chen Mingxiu took out a sum of money from his dowry after hearing about it, insisting to express Mind.
He Ai, who was nervous at first, became wealthy immediately. Many of the projects she planned can start running ahead of schedule, while recruiting many batches of people, and at the same time, according to her and local architects, work together to design The completed artwork is divided into pieces to build the main building in the academy.
On the other hand, He Ai also personally dragged the 'sick body' to the teachers who visited her brother, including the top leader of the county's academic circle, Xuezheng, etc. Their approval is considered to have opened up the official channel. After officially obtaining the school permit, they will go to search for some famous people who have escaped from the world.
From the very beginning, He Jia Dalang was recuperating, very quiet, and thoughtful of his sister. The establishment of a Jinlan Academy to recruit students from poor people has never been avoided.
Not only in Xuanyang City, but also in other counties. After all, every new college is a major event in Wenlin, which is very eye-catching.
After a thorough cleaning and everything was properly arranged, not long after the two children were full moons, they embarked on a journey to invite Mr. Jin Lan Academy.
