Chapter 1659: Earning Small Money Quietly
Shi Li: What is coming cannot be avoided.
When she heard that her brother and sister-in-law had arrived, she sighed deeply, put down the lotus seeds in her hand, and walked out resignedly.
She hadn't expected to keep the divorce a secret from the Shi family, but she didn't expect them to come so soon.
When I walked into the front hall, my brother and sister-in-law were already sitting in the chairs, with a look of disdain on their faces. They seemed to think that the tea brought by the servants was not good enough, and placed the teacups heavily on the edge of the table.
My sister-in-law had sharper eyes. When she saw Shi Li appear, she sneered sarcastically.
"Oh, our Shi family's great aunt is finally willing to come out to see us!"
Shi Li rolled her eyes in her heart and immediately retorted, "Sister-in-law came here so suddenly, and I can't predict the future. Isn't she coming fast enough?"
"Divorce is such a big thing! How could you not discuss it with your family?" The elder brother started by blaming her without hesitation.
Shi Li walked closer and glanced at him, "So, you are here to make the decision for me?"
It was impossible for them to make the decision, they just coveted Shi Li's generous dowry.
My brother was choked by the words and his face looked a little bad, but he was still thick-skinned. "Forget it, anyway, you did something wrong in the Liu family, and they don't want you anymore. Your sister-in-law and I will come and take you back."
Picking up the person is fake, picking up such a huge dowry is real.
They probably thought Shi Li was a three-year-old child and thought she could be pinched or flattened as they pleased.
Shi Li was prepared and shook her head calmly, "Thank you for your concern, brother. But since I'm divorced, I'm a free man now. I'm living well in Yangzhou, so I won't go back to bother you."
Hearing that she was distancing herself from them, the sister-in-law couldn't help but stand up and said with a fake smile: "Sister, don't be silly. You have to go back with us after the divorce. You are from the Shi family..."
"I'm afraid not."
My sister-in-law's words were interrupted by a voice, but the person who spoke was not Shi Li, but Yu Mo who arrived in time.
He heard that a carriage had arrived from Suzhou, guessed what they were going to do, and rushed over without waiting. He walked to Shi Li's side, wanting to support him.
Shi Li looked at Yu Mo in surprise, just like his brother and sister-in-law.
"who are you?"
The elder brother frowned slightly and looked at Yu Mo. He seemed to think that he was too young to be an important person. He frowned with displeasure and then accused Shi Li, "Who are you dealing with outside?"
"Hehe... maybe they are in love." My sister-in-law thought her voice was very soft, but everyone heard it.
Yu Mo first glanced at Shi Li, and seeing that she didn't seem to care, he looked back at his brother.
"My last name is Shan, and I mean Shanji Cloth Shop."
My brother seemed to be frozen in place for a moment, looking at Yu Mo in surprise, as if trying to determine whether what he said was true or false.
"What kind of cloth shop is this? Is it worth..." The sister-in-law didn't know the seriousness of the matter and started to speak in a sarcastic tone. Halfway through her words, she was glared back by her brother.
Although my brother had never met Yu Mo before, he had heard people say that Mr. Shan was very young, very capable, and was from Yangzhou, so he did not suspect that Yu Mo was pretending to be someone else.
After holding down his wife who didn't know what was going on, he looked between Shi Li and Yu Mo again and again, forcing a smile, "I didn't know that Mr. Shan knew my sister."
Shi Li: I didn’t know that you could call him “Mr. Shan”.
No matter when, complaining can never be forgotten.
Yu Mo did not respond, but looked at Shi Li, blinked at her, and then said slowly: "I didn't know that you are my fiancée's brother."
elder brother:!!!
Sister-in-law: ???
Shi Li: ...
Wait!
Who spoke just now?
What fiancée?
How come she doesn't know?
Looking at Yu Mo's dark eyes, Shi Li silently swallowed back her rebuttal, pursed her lips stiffly and remained silent.
The silence at this time is a tacit agreement.
This not only shocked her brother, but also Liu Qihan, who had just rushed over and was eavesdropping not far away.
He felt something was not right outside, and impulsively wanted to come and clarify things for Shi Li, and even wanted to say that they had not divorced. However, as soon as he walked in and heard Yu Mo's words, he was shocked and took a big step back with a pale face.
Finally, Shi Li's brother and sister-in-law left in disgrace, far from the aggressive look they had when they came. Before leaving, the brother smiled warmly at Yu Mo.
"Mr. Shan, whenever you go to Suzhou again, please let me know so that I can welcome you back!" Although Yu Mo's cloth shop has only been open in Suzhou for a year, he still has to rely on others for his business and has to flatter them.
Yu Mo didn't bother to show his respect and nodded calmly, "Okay."
So the brother and sister-in-law were satisfied. When facing Shi Li, they no longer had the arrogance they had just now. They looked at her hesitantly as if they wanted to say something.
"You... take care of yourself, sister."
After they left, Liu Qihan seemed unnecessary.
Shi Li frowned, "What's wrong with the people at the door? Who let anyone in?"
Gatekeeper: ...
They were also innocent. They really didn't know when Liu Qihan came in. They were clearly watching the door the whole time, not even letting a fly in!
This kind of thing can only be attributed to the plot.
When Liu Qihan saw that Shi Li finally noticed him, he seemed to have found his lost soul. He took a step forward and looked at her expectantly.
"You were just lying, weren't you?" He didn't believe that she was engaged to someone else so soon.
