10. Birth and death
First, Liu Zhang's family is also from the Zhang family, she was raised by the old lady's mother, and since marrying into the Liu family, Liu Zhang's family has little contact with the Zhang family.
Second, it is more interesting, the person Liu Dong'er married in his previous life was the eldest young master of the Zhang family. is not Liu Rongyi's son, but the son of the second master of the Zhang family.
When watching the old lady of the Zhang family enter with her two daughters-in-law, Liu Dong'er couldn't help but make up her mind, in this life, she would not marry into the Zhang family, and try her best to avoid touching the Zhang family.
It's true that she thinks so, but some people don't.
The old lady of the Zhang family and the old lady of the Liu family have not seen each other for a long time, and I heard that the old lady had a very good relationship with her sister-in-law before she got married, and the two seem to have a lot to say.
As the eldest daughter-in-law, Liu Rongyi should serve by her mother-in-law's side, but she feels that she is the daughter of the Liu family, and this time she came to celebrate the old lady's birthday, but in her opinion, it is more like going back to her mother's house.
After looking left and right for a while, Liu Rongyi paused his eyes on Liu Dong'er: "Oh, isn't this Dong'er? Dong'er came over and talked to my aunt." ”
Liu Dong'er frowned quietly, her relationship with this little aunt was not the best. Before Liu Rongyi got married, she was simply a bully in the Liu family. Liu Dong'er is usually timid, and Liu Zhang's often warns her that it is impossible to be bad with salary. This directly led to Liu Dong'er often being bullied by this little aunt until she got married.
After a lifetime, Liu Dong'er is not afraid of her little aunt, but she doesn't want to be too close to her. After hesitating for a moment, he didn't want Liu Rongyi to cry out impatiently: "Why are you so grinding when you come over? I am your elder, do you treat your elder like this?"
Hearing this, Liu Dong'er no longer hesitated, and hurriedly stepped forward, but her heart was quietly ridiculous. Does she know she's an elder?
Liu Dong'er naturally didn't explain her inner thoughts, she just walked up to Liu Rongyi and greeted her most politely. I thought it would be okay, but I didn't want Liu Rongyi to be so easy to support: "I've been married for more than half a year, why are you still like that?"
Although Liu Dong'er was a little uncomfortable when she heard this, she still spoke seriously: "Little aunt, you are still the same, as if you are not married." ”
God knows that Liu Dong'er's words are sarcastic, people say that after getting married, they will mature all of a sudden, what about Liu Rongyu? It is simply the same arrogant and domineering appearance when he was in the Liu family in the past, and he really does not have the slightest demeanor of being a daughter-in-law.
Liu Rongyu is also wonderful, but he didn't hear the meaning of Liu Dong'er's words clearly. She also treated Liu Dong'er as if she was praising her: "Oh, there are still changes in this Dong'er, look at how sweet this little mouth is." ”
As he spoke, he reached out to pinch Liu Dong'er's face. Liu Dong'er hurriedly dodged, knowing that when she was a child, she didn't lose money at the hands of this little aunt. What impressed her the most was the long nails on her aunt's hands, she always habitually raised her nails, and then made the end of the nail pointy, and gently pinched it on her face to ensure that it left a deep red mark.
Seeing Liu Dong'er dodging, Liu Rongyi was not happy, before she got married, this little girl didn't dare to avoid her. Pulling his face, Liu Rongyi frowned and looked at Liu Dong'er most unhappily: "Dead girl, what do you mean?"
When she was a child, Liu Rongyi was not married, so she wanted to teach her a lesson, and it was a matter of course for her aunt to teach her niece, and her identity at this time should be the eldest wife of the Zhang family, and she actually taught Liu Dong'er a lesson in the Liu family, she was really full of food!
Liu Dong'er really didn't dare to split her face and give her no face, her little aunt is a person who you give her no face, she can tear your face in public. Lowering her head slightly, Liu Dong'er cried with a pout.
Although the old lady was chatting with her sister-in-law, the corner of her eye was staring at this side. What's more, they were not far away from her, and all the words they said fell on her ears. When she saw Liu Dong'er crying aggrievedly, the old lady couldn't help it.
Of course, she knows very well how arrogant her daughter is. In the past, when her daughter was not married, she was oppressed, one was respected by the elder and the other was a junior, and Liu Donger did not like to publicize, so she was too lazy to make decisions for her granddaughter.
No matter how much she usually loves this little daughter, the old lady knows very well in her heart that this daughter is already married, and that is someone in the family. And her granddaughter has not yet married, but she has been oppressed by others on her own land, how can she, a grandmother, be a watcher?
After looking at it patiently for a while, the old lady still hoped that this little daughter could restrain herself. She knows Liu Dong'er very well, but her daughter doesn't have any more trouble, and Liu Dong'er will not hold on to things anymore.
It's a pity that her mind is destined to be delusional.
"Ouch, that's crying? I said what happened to me, and you cried like that. You're not too small, you cry at every turn, what will you do in the future?" Liu Rongyi strode forward, and when Liu Dong'er didn't take precautions, he pinched Liu Dong'er's face with his right hand. This didn't count, but he also slid his free left hand on Liu Dong'er's little face.
The old lady watched Liu Dong'er being slapped in the face by her youngest daughter, and her liver was burning at the moment, so she didn't care about anything, so she spoke directly and called her daughter over.
Liu Rongyi is not a smart person, she still thinks that she is still the eldest lady of the Liu family, and she is still reckless and innocent, thinking about how her mother will help Liu Dong'er's little girl? No, when she walked to her, the old lady glared at her with a face, and said no to the old lady of the Zhang family, saying that she had not cultivated her daughter well.
Mama Tang is her personal maid who grew up together, and she doesn't have to talk to each other about many things, she can guess three or four points, look at this look, you don't have to say it to know that the magic weapon daughter has a lot of disasters in the Zhang family!
Liu Rongyu still didn't know what was going on, and the old lady of the Zhang family just said it with her eyes, and didn't say it directly, Liu Rongyu was quite obedient, and she followed the old lady into the room without asking about the notice.
Liu Dong'er naturally went in together, and she didn't let Xiao Lu go in. Intuition reported to her that in the next moment, if Xiao Lu heard it, she might not be avenged by her little aunt. Midori is just a dispensable maid.
The old lady's personal maidservant had already brought a basin of water at this time, and she carefully wiped it for Liu Dong'er with a handkerchief. Fortunately, Liu Donger is still young and has not used fat powder, so she does not have to worry about being infected by fat powder to her wounds.
That's right, it's the wound.
The face that was pinched by Liu Rongyi was fine, although it was red and swollen, at least it didn't break the skin. On the other hand, Liu Dong'er is not so lucky, Liu Dong'er is young, her skin is thin and tender, although the wound is not deep, but she has seen blood.
The old lady sat in her exclusive position, and she saw Liuli washing Liu Dong'er's face, and hurriedly called Liu Dong'er to talk. Her eyes were not good, and it wasn't until Liu Dong'er walked in that she noticed the very scar on her face, and she couldn't help but be angry anymore.
"Rong Yi, she's your niece!
Liu Rongyu glanced at Liu Dong'er indifferently: "It's just a small injury, what's the big deal?"
The old lady became more and more indignant: "A small injury? Can this girl's face be injured? Think about it yourself, if this is on your face, will you still say a small injury?"
The expression on Liu Rongyi's face froze, and he glared at Liu Dong'er fiercely casually: "Can she compare with me?"
"Liu Rongyu!" The old lady is really angry, what does it mean that she can't be compared with her?" "My young lady of the Liu family is much more noble than you!"
This can stab the hornet's nest, and Liu Rongyi is the last thing he wants to hear. Because she married the eldest master of the Zhang family, it was the most embarrassing thing in her life.
"Mother, my own daughter, if you didn't think about me before, forget it, for such a little girl's movie, you still want to scold me?"
"Why don't I think about you anymore? Since you were a child, have I thought less about you?"
"If you really think about me, how can you let me marry Zhang Qiu like that?" Liu Rongyi has always spoken thoughtlessly, which is fortunate to be in the old lady's room, if it is in the courtyard of the right talent, doesn't it make a big fuss?
Liu Dong'er quietly moved her body and walked to the corner while the old lady was not looking. At this time, she didn't have to do anything, just wait to watch the show, and be careful not to get yourself into it.
"You, you, you!" Of course, the old lady knew that the marriage daughter did not agree, she had been married to the Zhang family for more than half a year at this time, and she still said this!
"What's wrong with me? Half a year ago, I was also the eldest lady of the Liu family, and I was the only one! Liu Mendi was the acting official, why did you marry me to the Zhang family? The Zhang family is a merchant!" Liu Rongyi counted angrily, in the past six months, she has also suffered a lot of grievances in the Zhang family, but it just so happens that she has never reflected on herself, always thinking about how sorry others are for her. Especially this marriage was single-handedly solicited by the old lady, and she was even more dissatisfied.
The old lady was angry, but she was happy, but her smile was full of pain: "Merchant? Hmph, what's wrong with the merchant? Your mother and I are also from the merchant!"
"Merchant!Do you think I hate the Zhang family so much just because they are merchants? That Zhang Qiu is my cousin, right? He's twenty years older than me!" Liu Rongyi's face was flushed with anger, and the hairpin ring was staggered: "Mother, you can't let me be your nephew's filler because you are the filler yourself, right?"
Liu Dong'er's front lit up, and she immediately shrank her body into the corner. Shicai didn't let Xiao Lu enter with him, otherwise even if the little aunt didn't find Xiao Lu to vent her anger, the old lady wouldn't let her go later.
Having said that, about the marriage of the little aunt, she also felt very strange in her previous life.
Just like the little aunt said, the Liu family has been an official for generations, while the Zhang family has been a businessman for generations. If you only talk about money, the Liu family must be inferior to the Zhang family, the country is heavy on agriculture and suppresses business, and the status of the traffickers is not even as good as the peasants, so how can they be on the same level as the official family?
In the past, the old lady was able to marry into the Zhang family, firstly, because the old lady was a very famous woman and talented woman in the city at that time, and she was the only concubine of the Zhang family, and her marriage was extremely rich. Second, it was because the old lady had already married once at that time, and the old lady was married after the death of the original partner.
In this way, this marriage is quite a good match. As for the daughters of official families, they are all unwilling to be the wives of others.
When it came to Liu Rongyu, things really turned around.
Liu Rongyu is the only young lady in the Liu family in her generation, even if the old lady is the stepwife, according to politeness, Liu Rongyu is still a young lady. In addition, she was not pressed by her sister-in-law, so it can be said that she was indeed the only daughter to be married in the Liu family at that time.
As the old lady of the old lady, Liu Rongyu is only ten years older than Liu Donger, and she is only seventeen years old. When she got married half a year ago, she was not young, but she was not so old that no one wanted it.
Think about it, the daughter of the official family is not too old, her appearance is very outstanding, and the housekeeper is also very neat, as for the female celebrity, she is quite passable. All in all, in addition to his bad personality, Liu Rongyi is still quite good in terms of aspects.
What about her husband Zhang Qiu?
Zhang Qiu is the son of the Zhang family, he is thirty-seven years old, married a daughter-in-law, and gave birth to two daughters and a son. The two daughters are both old, and they have already married before Liu Rongyi married into the Zhang family. The only young son is only three years old, so I added that Zhang Qiu's original partner was born with a difficult birth and passed away.
From this point of view, Zhang Qiu is really not worthy of Liu Rongyu at all. Coincidentally, the old lady who has always loved Liu Rongyu the most is happy with this very unreasonable marriage. The Liu family's rhetoric to the outside world is that the Zhang family is kind and kind, and the Liu family also hopes to kiss each other again.
This statement is not wrong, the old lady and the old lady of the Zhang family have always had the best relationship with the old lady of the Liu family, and they are indeed very kind to Liu Rongyu, but these cannot make Liu Rongyi calm down.
"Tell me, tell me, why do I have to marry Zhang Qiu? He is old, he has children and daughters, and he doesn't need me to raise him? His aunts have a lot of rooms, how should you tell me to live this life?" Liu Rongyi is planning to tear his face today, completely ignoring the old lady's dark face at this time, and insisting on asking for an explanation.
Liu Dong'er was happy to watch the play, but she was also figuring out the notice of this matter in her heart. She trusts the old lady to really love her little aunt, but this marriage is really full of treachery.
Counting it, the marriage between the Zhang family and the Liu faction is very reasonable, and the old lady is very reasonable. The merchant's concubine married the son of the official family to fill the house, how can it be said. Other than that, the back is a bit far-fetched a few times. For example, Liu Dong'er's mother, Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang's is an orphan girl, but because the Zhang family is quite kind, the money left over from her house was finally given to her as a dowry, which is indeed a matching and rich money, if the Liu family is really for money, it is not necessarily true.
Liu Dong'er estimated that the old lady might be looking for a good daughter-in-law, so she took a fancy to Liu Zhang's family. Liu Zhang is a notoriously honest man.
And Liu Dong'er also married the eldest young master of the Zhang family in his previous life, and he was the son of Zhang Qiu's younger brother. With her identity, she should be considered to be married at that time, but if her incurable and lifelong infertile body is counted, the Zhang family is happy to accept her, and it can be regarded as not idle.
Among the four joint marriages, the most unclear thing for Liu Donger is the marriage of the little aunt. There's really no reason to do that, unless......
vaguely remembered that the little aunt had not proposed marriage before she got married, and Liu Dong'er slowly came back to her senses. The concubine of the official family has no flaws in her appearance, but no one proposes marriage, so she can only answer with the damage to her reputation.
Liu Dong'er thought well, and the old lady was so happy to let her beloved daughter marry, it was really because her beloved daughter's reputation had been damaged at the beginning, and it was not something that could generally be erased.
"Rong Yi, how can you say that? Isn't it possible that I don't want you to have a good life? You don't want to think about the things you have done!" What is more heartbreaking than being misunderstood by her own daughter? The old lady remembered the things of the past, and she had already burst into tears: "Yes, it is not your fault that it is said that it is not your fault alone, everything has already happened, what can I do? If it is the death of the eldest wife of the Zhang family, your life at this time can only be even more miserable!"
"Why is it always me who is so bad? That's not my fault at all!" Liu Rongyu heard the old lady say this, and his expression suddenly changed, but his mouth still shouted unrelentingly: "I'm not even, I'm not even, why do I have to live so miserably?
Liu Dong'er listened very carefully, even though the old lady and the little aunt were not so clear, but as they talked, she could roughly piece together the things of the past.
Calculate the time, it should be when Mrs. Zhang Jiada is still there. Coincidentally, that day was also her birthday, but it was the birthday of the old lady of the Zhang family. The Zhang family and the Liu family have always been good friends, and the old lady of the Zhang family has a full life, so the Liu family naturally has no reason not to congratulate.
Liu Dong'er was only four years old when she was young, and she also went with Liu Zhang's family, but Aunt Zhou and Liu Man'er did not go. Naturally, the little aunt is also going to go. Several of them, including the old lady, went directly to the backyard of the Zhang family.
Since the old lady was also back to her parents' house, she took her sister-in-law, the old lady of the Zhang family, to chat. Liu Dong'er is still young, and Liu Zhang's spoiled her again, and she almost never left her side for a day. The only little aunt didn't know where to go to play alone.
The little aunt was fourteen years old at the time, and she often went in and out of the Zhang family, and no one minded that she was running around, but she either went to talk to the two wives, or went to play with the two young ladies from the eldest lady. But I didn't expect that at dusk, when the people of the Liu family came back, they couldn't find her.
The old lady panicked and hurriedly ordered people to investigate, but the little aunt had not been found, but the eldest lady was born prematurely. Premature birth and dystocia, the eldest wife lasted until dawn the next day, gave birth to a little brother, and closed her eyes. And the old lady brought back the little aunt with a black face.
What exactly happened, Liu Dong'er really didn't know. The birth of the young master of the Zhang family and the death of the eldest wife of the Zhang family are already surprising enough, especially when the old lady of the Zhang family was on her birthday.
Today, Liu Dong'er can figure out what happened at that time.
