Finally, one day, my grandmother fell ill and passed away. Grandpa still owes dozens of taels of medical fees to the pharmacy and the doctor, the elderly grandfather can't stand the blow of his grandmother's death, and he is in arrears of medical bills, and he can't afford to be sick, and his eighteen-year-old mother doesn't know how to handle his grandmother's funeral, and Ge Xiucai is also powerless.
At this time, Pan Shishan rushed over, shouldered the burden, buried his grandmother in a beautiful manner, and paid off his grandfather's debts, but he didn't say anything. Grandpa felt that his time was short, and after he died, he was afraid that his beloved daughter would not be found, so he found Ge Xiucai and Pan Shishan respectively, gave a word, and said something to Pan Jinlian's mother, and after crying bitterly, Jin Xiuying married Pan Shishan, and Ge Xiucai became Jin Lian's uncle, Pan Shishan is her father, and Jin Xiuying is her mother.
Three months later, my grandfather followed my grandmother with a smile. Ge Xiu took over the mantle of his grandfather and was still a gentleman who taught private school, but after Jin Lian's mother got married, Ge Xiucai did not marry again.
And since Pan Shishan married Jin Xiuying, he has doted on her and never let her have anything unpleasant, and since then there has been Pan Jinlian. A family of three, and Meimei, occasionally my father will invite Xiucai to come to the house, sell wine, and my mother will fry a few dishes, although the three of them don't talk much, but they respect each other.
My mother has always kept in mind my grandfather's teachings, rarely goes to the store, basically does not go shopping, and my father buys anything she wants, so that everything is safe, until Pan Jinlian was ten years old, an incident happened that changed the fate of their family of three and ruined their family.
That year was the 10th anniversary of the death sacrifice of my grandparents and grandmothers, and my mother and father took Pan Jinlian to the temple to burn incense, and at the same time asked the master of the temple to recite scriptures for my grandparents and grandmothers. My mother burned incense and paper money for my grandparents, and she was so engrossed that she didn't have the energy to pay attention to what was going on around her. Pan Jinlian was disgusted by the noisy chanting in the temple, and pestered her uncle to take her out, so her uncle took Jinlian to each hall to see the Bodhisattva with golden clay sculptures.
That day, Zhang Shanren didn't even give him an egg because of his four concubines, and he also brought his wife and concubine to the temple to burn incense and pray for children. And the mother was concentrating on burning paper money and knocking wooden fish, and the other guests who burned incense were driven away by Zhang Shanren's men, and they were about to catch up with their father and mother, Zhang Shanren rushed over: "Dare to ask Miss who is overcrossing?"
Dad said, "This is my mother." ā
The mother didn't reply, and she didn't even move her eyebrows, and her father said, "Today is the death sacrifice of my father-in-law and mother-in-law for ten years." ā
Zhang Shanren said: "Filial piety is commendable, then you can be busy with you, and we won't bother you." ā
Because her mother is originally beautiful and elegant, under the care of her father, she is raised with red lips and white teeth, fine skin and tender meat, and she does not leave the house, and does not deal with the vulgar people and things in the world, reflecting the fairy spirit that is not in the mortal world. And it was not at all obvious that it was a young woman who already had a ten-year-old daughter and was twenty-eight years old.
It was this temperament that fascinated Zhang Shanren, and he asked the housekeeper to inquire about his mother's family background and situation, whether his father and mother were in love, and what way to snatch his mother away?
After planning for a few months, he probably has found out that his mother is the lifeblood of his father, and he will never let his mother go, and his father does not prostitute or gamble, he is a tough guy and a big husband with affection and righteousness, only one point, because his father is a butcher, and his professional habits make him like to drink, but he is very measured, never drinks excessively, and only goes to a familiar tavern. At the end of each day, go for a little wine to quench your cravings.
Zhang Shanren bribed the owner of the tavern, made him sweat pills in the wine, and in a coma, pressed his handprint on the Zhang contract. The contract says that Pan Shishan gambled with others, lost a thousand taels of silver, borrowed silver from Zhang Shanren to repay his debts, and was willing to mortgage his wife and pick up people three days later.
Thanks to the shopkeeper who is often taken care of by his father, he went to Jin Lian's house in the middle of the night and told Zhang Shanren of the conspiracy, and his father rushed to Ge Xiucai's place overnight and called Ge Xiucai to his home to discuss.
Dad handed over all the valuable things in the family to Ge Xiucai's hands, and said to him: "My mother will entrust you, I have failed my father-in-law's trust, and I can no longer protect my mother, I know that you are childhood sweethearts, you have been in love for many years, you have not married for so many years, and it is also because of your mother, I know your affairs, and I want to marry my mother." She married me to repay her kindness, and I broke you up, and now I am retributioned. In the past ten years, the lady has been kind to me like a mountain, and I am also content, you have to run far away, never come back, don't take the child, otherwise it will drag you down. ā
Dad put them in a hired boxcar and watched them go, and for the next two days, Dad went to the butcher's shop to sell meat as usual, and there was no movement. Zhang Shanren, who thought that the arrangement was seamless, took care of it at home for three days, thinking that he suddenly took out a note and snatched his mother, and his father would have no way at all, so he thought he had a plan.
As a result, the mother did not grab it, her whereabouts are unknown, and she grabbed Jin Lian to replace her, her father was beaten and injured all over her body, and no one in the neighbor next door dared to help, and her father died at home with a grudge, and was thrown by Zhang Shanren in a mass grave, and there were no bones.
Zhang Shanren, who is as vicious as a jackal, is still very greedy for money, he took the note, sold all the things of the Jinlian family, and made a small fortune, and who dared to ask about this matter, and the subordinates of the Zhang Mansion did not know the details of this matter, but only knew the scale and half of the matter, not to mention who would take care of this matter? Even the lady and the nurse only knew that Jin Lian was an orphan girl picked up by Zhang Shanren, and nothing else was known.
Ge Xiucai took his mother to drive the boxcar, out of Qinghe County, he quit the boxcar, told the people in the boxcar that they wanted to stay in the hotel, and when the people who drove the car left, they changed the car again, and went to a remote village in Yanggu County. Zhang Shanren searched for a few years, but he didn't find any trace of his mother in Qinghe County, so he slowly forgot that Ge Xiucai and his mother escaped this disaster.
Ge Xiucai is in a remote village, still mainly teaching private schools, and his mother makes clothes for others, and life passes slowly. But Ge Xiucai and his mother have always treated each other as brothers and sisters, and refused to exceed the courtesy, Ge Xiucai said that he was powerless to rescue Jinlian and their father and daughter, and only by keeping his mother's innocence could he be worthy of his teacher and father.
Later, Ge Xiucai found many opportunities to return to Qinghe County, and learned that Jin Lian had been taken to Zhang Shan's house to be the personal maid of the young lady; later, the young lady committed suicide, and Jin Lian went to the Buddhist temple as a stand-in to chant and pray for blessings, and it was not until this time that Jin Lian got married, and he had the opportunity to find Pan Jinlian.
And the mother has been looking forward to seeing Jin Lian and reuniting with Jin Lian. She was already in poor health, and her father's tragic death hit her fatally, and she blamed herself for being a disaster for her husband and daughter. Thanks to Ge Xiucai's persuasion, and from time to time to bring news of Jin Lian, this made her desperately support, but when Jin Lian was about to marry a wife and possibly exchange for freedom, she really couldn't hold on and vomited blood and died.
The infatuated Ge Xiucai has been in love with his mother all his life, but he has always respected her all his life, and he has never taken a step beyond the courtesy, but now that his mother is gone, he wants to guard the grave for his mother and refuses to leave the village. Ge Xiucai promised her dying mother that she must hand over this bronze mirror to her daughter who has cared for her life, and if possible, take care of her daughter. Ge Xiucai fulfilled his mother's last wish, and he promised Jin Lian that he would definitely come to see Jin Lian whenever he had the opportunity.
At the same time, he also comforted Jin Lian, although Wu Dalang is ugly, he has a craft and really loves Jin Lian, just like his father loves his mother. If he can support his family, let's live with him, some men, although they are good-looking and dignified, but they can't get his heart, and that kind of life is not easy.
It was getting late, and Ge Xiucai said that the next time he came, he would definitely meet Wu Dalang as an uncle, and this time he had to rush back to teach a few of his students. Jin Lian touched the only souvenir her mother left her, the small bronze mirror, and tears slowly flowed down.
In fact, Jin Lian should be happy, after all, she knows her background and the exact whereabouts of her parents. I also know that my mother has a man who really loves him to protect her in the days when she has been missing for ten years, and she has such a good opportunity, but she guards etiquette and righteousness, and does not overpass, such a man is a real man, and he is loved by two men who really love him, one sacrifices his life for her, and the other dedicates his life to her, and his mother is a happy woman.
Ge Xiucai also said: "Don't think about revenge anymore, because for a weak woman like you, it can't be done at all." Also, don't hate others because of this, after all, the most important thing is to live happily yourself. ā
Pan Jinlian wants to take the bronze mirror that her mother will never leave with her, and she must always take care of herself like her mother, because her mother loves beauty and always pays attention to her appearance.
