Chapter 5
Jia Lian looked at the two elders with pity, and he was completely confused by the second monk.
He felt that he hadn't said anything bad, and he didn't have much dissatisfaction with his life in the Jia family.
- Why do these two look at each other like they sleep in a woodroom all day long and eat leftovers?
Full of helplessness, Jia Lian had to reiterate that the Jia family was very good to him and had not suffered a little bit for so many years.
But how could the Liu family and the He family listen to it? Each secretly said in their hearts that Jia Lian was really a poor and hard-mouthed child. Liu Shi also touched the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and said to Jia Lian sadly: "Which child of his biological mother died early is not bitter......? It's a pity that I'm far away in Jinling, and I can't take care of you in the past......"
As he spoke, Liu He and the others burst into tears again.
Seeing this, Jia Lian hurriedly coaxed, and gaged some interesting things in daily life, which finally made the two elders smile.
Jia Lian secretly breathed a sigh of relief in this regard.
Knowing that his uncle's family cared about him so much, Jia Lian's heart was very touched, he thought that he only recently knew to inquire about the situation of his uncle's family, and even went south to Jinling to come to Zhang's family to inquire about his biological mother and brother, and he was also a little cautious...... Thinking like this, I feel even more ashamed in my heart.
Especially when he saw his aunt and cousin mention his biological mother, he was so sad. Jia Lian thought, ask something...... Don't mention it again.
But as soon as Jia Lian decided not to ask, the Liu family here carefully found that the former's feelings were different, but he repeatedly asked what was the matter.
In the end, Jia Lian couldn't hold it back, so Fang opened his mouth.
"--Lian'er, do you want to know, how did your mother and brother go?" asked Liu with a strange expression.
However, he said that Jia Lian had thought about it before, and when he asked this question, how would the people of his uncle's family react: maybe he would be painful and sad, or maybe he would be angry - because the mother-in-law who eavesdropped at that time had said that the Zhang family had come to the door to make noise but in the end it failed, so Jia Lian felt that it should be mostly angry.
But when Jia Lian really asked, the reactions of his aunt and cousin-in-law were completely out of his imagination: he saw the two elders looking surprised and confused, as if they were ...... I don't understand why he would ask such a thing?
At this time, his cousin-in-law He Shi asked with a little hesitation: "Lian'er, haven't you heard some nonsense rumors?"
Jia Lianxin said. My cousin-in-law's words were almost the same as what Aunt Min asked in Yangzhou at the beginning!
However, at that time, Aunt Min said that she didn't know the inside story, so his aunt and cousin would not be so prevaricating at this time, right?
Thinking like this, Jia Lian flatly denied it, and only said that he wanted to know.
The two elders still completely ignored Jia Lian's words. Liu Shi even said with certainty: "No, Lian'er, you must have heard something......! Your father's nonsense about spoiling his concubine and killing his wife and killing your mother, right?"
Jia Lian was taken aback when he heard this, and then quickly lowered his head, as if he wanted to hide something, but he didn't speak again.
Just looking at this reaction, how can Liu He not understand?
Neither of them wondered how Jia Lian heard this kind of rumor - there has never been a shortage of broken mouths in this world - to exaggerate to say that because of the Zhang family, it is clear that there is no estrangement between the Jia and Zhang families, but it is inexplicably spread outside.
――Because of this, until now, there are some idle and bored people who pay close attention to the interaction between the Jia and Zhang families, so that the Liu family is so angry that they feel heartache when they find out!
This may also be the reason why after the Zhang family went south, the two families did not go to the courtesy to communicate.
Liu once asked Zhang Shu, do you want to take the initiative first, so as to break the imagination of those idlers? However, for some reason, Zhang Shu actually told Liu that if the Jia family goes first, they will return, and if they don't, don't care!
Can the Liu family know that even if her husband returns to Jinling, he is still very concerned about the situation of the Jia family? As soon as Zhang Shu's words came out, in her eyes, it was like a child being angry!
But his arm couldn't twist his thigh, Zhang Shu didn't agree, and Liu couldn't do it, so he had to gossip about those idlers.
- Of course, you can't say this to Jia Lian and other juniors.
Thinking so, Liu and He glanced at each other, and both sighed.
Finally, it was He who opened his mouth first. She said: "Lian'er, no matter how outsiders talk nonsense, what words do you believe. But now your eldest cousin and I can say to you with certainty that your mother has indeed died of illness. ”
Then, Zhang He began to tell Jia Lian about the situation that year. From their Zhang family hearing the bad news of the Zhang family and Jia Hu from the Jia family, to the two of them stopping the funeral until the final burial, they made it clear one by one.
Compared with the rumors that the nose is the nose and the eye is the eye, and the high tide is repeated, the "real situation" mentioned by He Shi is really too plain to be bland.
However, no matter how inconspicuous the facts are, they are still facts and cannot be changed.
After He said this, Liu also sighed very much, she answered, and said: "Speaking of which, when our family heard that crooked words, 'spoiling concubines and destroying wives', it was called surprise!"
Liu Shi took Jia Lian's hand, patted the back of the latter's hand as if comforting, and continued: "Uncle doesn't hide it from you, to tell you the truth, at the beginning of our family's fight, we were also a little skeptical, and I felt that this matter could not involve any inner house yin, after all, your mother and she are really ......."
Liu Shi became excited for a while, and the other two coaxed for a while, and the former was more stable, and then continued: "But after checking, there is really nothing strange about it-Lian'er, your mother and brother, it is really an emergency illness without warning!"
He Shi said on the side: "At that time, our family heard that your mother and brother were sick, and we were about to ask someone to send medicinal herbs, but the next moment, the Jia family sent someone to say that everyone had already gone......
Liu wiped the tears that kept falling, and said intermittently: "Lian'er, your mother, the days before you got sick...... I don't go back to my parents' house many times...... At that time, I saw your mother, who was in good spirits, and asked her about your brother...... He will also smile and tell me what kind of book your brother is studying today...... Uh-huh, where would you have thought of it......"
- One thing that Liu didn't say was that Zhang was in good spirits and would smile at her, but it was a forced smile.
At that time, the Zhang family frequently returned to Zhang's house, and did not mention what the reason was. Liu only remembered that the other party's face was very depressed and solemn.
However, when Liu asked, Zhang would say that it was fine, and when he asked Zhang Shu, he could only get a "This is about men's affairs, don't worry".
This kind of answer, can Liu not be worried?!
Liu still remembers that she was always restless all day long, and she had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.
