Under Zhao Zhaodi's expectant gaze, Li Ermei slowly opened the broken wooden box.

When the lid was opened and she saw what was inside, Li Ermei became even more angry: "What is this? You want a torn bellyband as a betrothal gift? Are you crazy?"

"Take a closer look. Doesn't it look familiar?"

"This... this is Youyou's... Zhao Zhaodi, are you here to insult us on purpose?"

"That's right, I came here on purpose to insult you! You are all shameless people. Do you know where I picked up this bellyband? It's in the thatched grass behind the dilapidated temple not far from the town!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

"I'm talking nonsense? Someone saw it. Your daughter went in with three or four men on the night of the Lantern Festival. How dare you, a slut, try to harm my son? Li Ermei, did I dig up your ancestors for eight generations? You want to harm our family like this!"

"Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart."

"Come on, come and tear it apart, and see if I can let the whole village know that your daughter is having an affair outside! I'll see whether it's you or I who can't hold my head up."

Li Ermei shuddered, knowing that the matter was hopeless. It was almost impossible to marry her daughter off in a grand ceremony!

She lowered her head, tears rolling down her cheeks like water: "Sister-in-law, I really have no other choice..."

"So you come to our house to disturb us?"

"We are a family after all, and we are connected even if we break bones. Our two families prosper together and suffer together! I am responsible for my daughter's behavior because I did not educate her well. But now that things have come to this, what can I do? If others really know that our Wang family's daughter has done such a thing, then no daughter from a good family will be willing to marry into our Wang family? By then, Shitou and Mumu from your family, as well as Dashan from my family, will all be bachelors for the rest of their lives! Sister-in-law, do you really want to see this happen?"

Zhao Zhaodi was stunned for a moment.

She just didn't want her son to marry Wang Youyou, but she didn't want both of her sons to be unable to find a wife!

Seeing Zhao Zhaodi's attitude soften, Li Ermei appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her: "Sister-in-law, my dearest sister-in-law, you see, now is the time when our Wang family is in danger. Can we unite as one and overcome this difficulty first?"

"How can I cross it? Do you want me to ruin the happiness of stone for the sake of wood?" This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!

"Sister-in-law, it's not that serious. If your family really doesn't like Youyou, we can get married first. I don't want any gifts or anything like that. I'll also give a generous dowry. After a while, I'll pay to find a concubine for Shitou. Shitou and Youyou can just be a couple in name only. Just give her food to eat and let her work like a slave in your family."

If Zhao Zhaodi said she was not tempted at all after hearing these conditions, that would definitely be a lie!

My wife is not very good and has given birth to two sons. How easy is it to marry two daughters-in-law?

The two sons are already grown up now. After a few years, it will be difficult for them to find a good girl.

If we follow Li Ermei's method, the stone might be wronged, but at least the wood will be much easier.

Li Ermei saw that there was room for improvement, so she began to persuade them more vigorously: "If you really don't want to, wait two years and find a reason to divorce Youyou. Then, I will still pay to find a good girl for Shitou. Is that right?"

Zhao Zhaodi wanted to agree, but she always felt that something was wrong.

If it were in the past, she would definitely not think about it any more.

"Let me go back and think about it."

Zhao Zhaodi left Li Ermei's house and went straight to find Su Yunluo.

……

"Yunluo, tell me, should I agree to her?" Zhao Zhaodi sincerely asked Su Yunluo what he thought.

Su Yunluo sneered: "Do you think it's possible to seek the skin of a tiger?"

"Yeah, I also think Li Ermei is not that kind."

"It's good that you know. She did that just to buy time. As long as this storm passes, as long as her daughter marries into your family and lives peacefully for a year or two, then who do you think will remember what happened now? Also, even if someone remembers and proves that Wang Youyou was not indecent before marriage, do you think this marriage can be divorced? Do you think your mother-in-law will agree?"

Su Yunluo's words suddenly woke Zhao Zhaodi up.

"Yes, and there's my mother-in-law. She has always favored Wang Youliang's family. And Wang Youyou, like her father, is good at flattering her and always knows how to make my mother-in-law happy. When the time comes, my mother-in-law will never allow them to divorce!"

"As long as you can figure it out."

"So what should I do now? Just reject Li Ermei?"

Su Yunluo was in a good mood today, so he helped the man to the end and pointed out a way for him: "Isn't Li Ermei good at speaking? You can secretly leak some information to her and let her know that the person who had a relationship with Wang Youyou is the son of the current county magistrate."

At that time, given Li Ermei's character, there was no reason for her to give up such a good candidate for son-in-law.

"Ah? Really? I looked for many people, but I only saw Wang Youyou following four men into the thatched grass behind the temple outside the town, but I couldn't see clearly who those four people were!"

"Just reveal it, and leave the rest to God." How did Su Yunluo know?

It’s definitely not what I saw with my own eyes!

It's just speculation based on factual analysis!

However, the probability of error should be small!

Zhao Zhaodi believed Su Yunluo. After returning, she did not look for Li Ermei or give her a clear answer. Instead, she tried every means to delay.

When Li Ermei urged her, she said she would think about it again.

At the same time, he secretly spread the rumor that Wang Youyou was having an affair with the county magistrate's son.

Three days later, Li Ermei secretly set off for the county with her daughter Wang Youyou.

……

On the 25th day of the first lunar month, Su Yunluo’s first store finally opened.

When doing business, the worst thing is to be low-key.

The first day of opening must be as lively as possible.

Su Yunluo spent a lot of money to organize a unique model show in front of the store.

These models are not your average models. They have sexy bodies and angelic faces? None of them.

They were all randomly chosen at the store entrance that day, and they are all ordinary people.

The selected model first walked around on the stage without makeup, then came in front of Su Yunluo and let Su Yunluo put on makeup and change clothes in public. After that, she walked around again for everyone present to see.

The lady selling vegetables in the market, the little girl washing clothes in the tailor shop, the widow selling tofu on the roadside...

From white-haired old ladies to little girls in their teens.

No matter which one, they are all ordinary passers-by before makeup, but stunning after makeup.

Of course, all the cosmetics used are exclusively sold by Su Yunluo.
