Chapter 1223 Reincarnation and Enlightenment (3)

After listening to Liu Yu's story, Liu's mother closed her eyes and remained silent for a long time.

This made Liu Yu a little confused, whether she agreed or disagreed with this matter.

"Mother, do you disagree with this matter?" Liu Yu couldn't help but ask first.

"Yu'er, the first thing you have to consider is that the Yue and Liu families are not ordinary families. The Yue family and the Liu family can be said to be the two largest families in this city.

We and the Yue family are both engaged in the dyeing business. It can be said that we have always been competitors, not partners.

If the Yue family suddenly comes to want to marry and want to become relatives with our Liu family, it may have a great impact on the business of the two families. Maybe the two families will become one at that time.

Do you think you can control that situation?"

Liu's mother told the interests involved, which made Liu Yu fall into deep thought.

After a while, he said, "It is not necessary to merge the businesses of the two families after becoming in-laws, right? We can still do our own business. I will continue to manage the business of the Liu family, and Yue Qing will continue to manage his Yue family business. This should not have any impact, right?"

Hearing this, what else did Liu's mother not understand? That is, her son liked the daughter of the Yue family very much, and she could not bear to break up her son's marriage.

"Yu'er, mother has said everything she can. This matter depends on you. You have grown up. You can choose any way you want, but you must bear it yourself no matter what happens in the future. Do you understand?"

After Liu's mother finished speaking, she did not say anything more, but slowly closed her eyes and continued to rest.

"My child understands. Thank you for your mother's teachings!" Liu Yu bowed and left.

The next day, Liu Yu went to the Yue family with the betrothal gifts to propose marriage, and the Yue family did not embarrass him at all. The proposal and the wedding ceremony went smoothly, and everything was settled in just half a month.

After getting married, he and Yue Lan got along very well, and their relationship became increasingly deep. Liu Yu was also very glad for his choice, and he felt that Yue Lan was his best wife.

However, the good times did not last long. The business of the Yue family continued to decline, and Yue Qing had been urging his sister to steal the secret recipe for dyeing that Liu Yu had researched and borrow it.

However, Yue Lan put forward a condition that she could help borrow the secret recipe, but she must not destroy it to let the Liu family lose the recipe.

Yue Qing could not care so much now, and he agreed to everything in order to save the Yue family.

The relationship between Yue Lan and Liu Yu heated up rapidly, and the two could be said to be inseparable and trusted each other very much.

Although Yue Lan agreed to help the Yue family get the secret recipe for dyeing, she did not do those things of stealing, but told Liu Yu about it openly.

Her attitude was very sincere, and she hoped to help the Yue family for the sake of husband and wife, and Liu Yu finally agreed to it after some thought.

He took out the secret recipe he had researched and gave it to Yue Lan. Later, the business of the Yue family improved, but it was just barely able to maintain and avoid closing down.

After all, the Liu family was already proficient in the technology of dyeing cloth, and the cloth they made was better. Although the Yue family got the formula and could make the corresponding cloth, the output was low and there would be occasional defects.

At this time, Yue Qing was thinking about his own thoughts in his heart. He wanted to make his Yue family's business bigger and bigger.

Then he found Liu Yu. Recently, his relationship with Liu Yu has become relatively close, all because of Yue Lan.

Yue Qing told him that a royal person came to the capital to purchase the best cloth, and the quantity was huge.

At first, this person found the Yue family, and Yue Qing declined because the Yue family's output could not meet the demand, but he introduced it to Liu Yu.

When Liu Yu first heard this request, he was not ready to agree. He had to hand over 10,000 pieces of cloth within a month, but Yue Qing said on the side that he could ask all the workers of the Yue family to help him Liu family to drive out this batch of goods.

Liu Yu had no doubts about Yue Qing's words at the time. After all, he regarded Yue Qing as a family member. However, after signing the contract with the royal master and taking a high deposit, things did not seem to be as good as he thought.

When everyone in the Liu family was rushing to dye cloth, the people in the Yue family could hardly dye a few pieces of cloth a day, and even if they did, they were defective products with defects.

This made Liu Yu very anxious. In half a month, half of his hair turned white.

Yue Lan also found Yue Qing many times to ask how he did things. Finally, under Yue Lan's strong request, Yue Qing fully cooperated, but only one-third of the 10,000 pieces of cloth were barely completed in half a month.

When the last month's deadline arrived, there was originally a glimmer of hope. It can be said that the two families were close to completion with the employment of a large number of workers.

However, an inexplicable fire broke out in the Yue family the day before, burning all the dyed cloth to ashes.

Liu Yu also lost a huge amount of property because of this. This deal also offended the royal family and almost got him imprisoned. Yue Lan borrowed a lot of silver from the Yue family and sent the official people away to save Liu Yu's life.

Since then, the Liu family has no business anymore. All the shops have closed down to pay off the debts. Now it can be said that the Yue family is doing the cloth business.

Liu Yu also became silent because of this. He no longer believed in anyone around him. In his eyes, everything was no longer real and he felt it was fake.

However, Yue Lan stayed by his side all the time. Not only did she work in the Yue family's shop to support their family, but she also served Liu's mother until her death.

Yue Lan saw that her formerly beautiful husband-in-law was killed like this because of her family, and she always blamed herself in her heart.

After being with him for a long time, the light gradually appeared in Liu Yu's eyes again, no longer so dim and lifeless.

Twenty years later, Liu Yu was already in his forties. He had wasted twenty years, but he gradually came out of the shadows.

At this time, he had figured out a lot of things. The world was just like this, and human nature was inherently selfish. He only blamed himself for taking it too seriously.

"Madam, thank you!" Liu Yu spoke for the first time in twenty years.

This made Yue Lan, who was busy on the side, feel that she had heard wrongly. She turned around tremblingly and said with some excitement: "Mr.... are you finally willing to speak?"

"Madam, thank you for your hard work!" A smile appeared on Liu Yu's slightly weathered face.

Yue Lan's tears couldn't stop falling. She dropped what she was holding and threw herself into his arms. She didn't know how long she cried before she calmed down.

It can be said that after twenty years of grievances, bitterness and all bad emotions were vented, Yue Lan also calmed down.

"Ms. sir, I'm sorry. If it hadn't been for the fire at my eldest brother's house, it wouldn't have caused such irreparable consequences. But fortunately, everyone is fine. Although our lives have been hard these years, we finally got through it."

"It's okay, it's all over. Over the years, I've seen a lot of things, thought about a lot of truths, and thought about everything in the past. It's just that I didn't walk the same path."

Liu Yu felt very calm at this time. He could both take it up and let it go. Nothing could affect his state of mind.
