Li Xiu sat on the dresser, stunned to look at the blurred and yellowed shadow in the bronze mirror in front of her, she stroked her cheek with her hand, the cheek, which was originally meatless, was so thin that it was sunken, although it was covered up with rouge gouache, it still couldn't cover the sickness on her face.

Niang Wen's didn't know, thinking that she was too tired during the Chinese New Year, and the family was preparing for family affairs, she was not used to it, enlightened a few words, and was busy with other things, her father Li Dazhuang injured his leg and needed to be taken care of, the eldest brother's blacksmith business was booming, and he didn't go home to take a look for a few days, Li Xiu could only hide in the room and pretend to be sick, and he didn't even have the courage to go out to see people. There was a charcoal basin burned in the house, and there was almost no heat in the charcoal fire, Mo Xiaohe was afraid of cold, and her stomach was uncomfortable, so she had to discuss with her cousin, open the window to breathe, and add a few pieces of charcoal to the charcoal basin.

"Cousin, you're talking!"

After completing a series of actions, Li Xiu was still in a daze, looking directly at a hollow rouge box, her eyes were blank, looking carefully at her eyes, the whites of her eyes were cloudy, and they were covered with tiny red blood, haggard, Mo Xiaohe shook his head and sighed, psychologically this hurdle is not good, just see if she can get through it.

"Xiaohe, I want to quit my family."

Li Xiu came back to his senses, and under his calm tone, there were huge waves hidden. In the past few days, she has thought about it seriously, she can't be so selfish, if she is Lin Xiucai, marrying a daughter-in-law is not chaste, not to mention, and pretending to be a yellow flower girl, she must be extremely angry.

"And then?"

Mo Xiaohe had expected her to say this, her cousin was soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and she always thought more about others, maybe at the last step, she retreated.

"If I don't marry for the rest of my life, I'm this life."

Li Xiu gritted her teeth, she can embroider and tie the ropes, her cousin brought back a booklet in Dayue, about the types of embroidery needlework, she was very interested, asked a few embroidery girls, and praised her for her talent, at least mastering a skill, being able to support herself, and not starving to death.

Mo Xiaohe's mind is swollen, it is too unrealistic not to marry, in modern times, women are independent, and when they marry a few years later, they are criticized by society as leftover women, not to mention that in this era, women depend on men to survive, she sighed and asked, "Then have you ever thought that if you don't get married, you have to tell the reason, right?" ”

Li Xiu doesn't marry, so what about Li He? In the future, I will always marry a daughter-in-law, before marrying, the woman will inquire about the man's family situation, and learn that there is a sister-in-law who is not married, most of them will be discouraged, even if they marry, they will have to make contradictions, and break up the family.

"Don't say you can live alone, look at my cousin, what kind of life is it?"

Mo Xiaohe blocked everything Li Xiu wanted to say, and sure enough, she saw a moment of loosening on her face. My cousin just loves to think about others too much, and when she mentioned that not marrying her eldest brother Li He would affect her, she hesitated again, afraid that she hadn't considered this before.

"You just suffered a little grievance when you were ignorant when you were a child, and after so many years, you should look down on it, do you still want to live in the past for the rest of your life?"

For people like Li Xiu, she can't be merciless when she speaks, hit the nail on the head, and hit the weakness directly, otherwise she will sway from side to side, and her relatives will be anxious. Mo Xiaohe really wanted to cover her face, she had two sisters, cousins, cousins, and none of them had a smooth marriage, what is this called!

"No, I ......"

Li Xiu wanted to explain, opened her mouth, and found that she was not as thorough as her cousin, and she could accept it if she wanted to marry, but she was not worthy of Lin Xiucai, and she couldn't hurt others.

"You just don't have a brain!"

Mo Xiaohe hated that iron could not become steel, and she didn't want to say a word, she told herself to be calm, if it weren't for her cousin who had always been good to her in the past, and learned that she had lost her reputation when she fell into the water, and she didn't fall into the well, but comforted and maintained it everywhere, she wouldn't be nosy.

"Is it miserable? You know about her, right? ”

Unmarried and pregnant, the clan disliked her and was ashamed, so she was directly removed from the clan and married Li Er, who thought she was an honest person and lived a peaceful life, but who knew that the suffering continued one after another, Li Er's belly was honey sword, and the old pious woman was insidious and cunning, causing her to have a miscarriage and almost lose her life.

Before the mother and son were caught by the official, they were still thinking about how to drag Mo Daya into the water and ruin her reputation in Sweet Water Village.

"It's not easy for the big girl."

One wrong step, one wrong step, there is no way back, Li Xiu compared himself and found that it was a mediocre person who disturbed himself, and the worst plan was to withdraw from his family, and then find an honest man to make up for it.

Mo Xiaohe couldn't cry or laugh, he was looking for an honest person again, who did an honest person offend? If you think that an unchaste woman marrying someone is a pit person, then no one is the same in the pit! Why is it that every time an honest person is innocently lying down?

"It's hard to think about yourself first, and then think about others."

Thinking about others everywhere and forgetting yourself, who is it for living? Selfish people are disgusted, but Li Xiu, the Virgin, is also incompetent. Mo Xiaohe was angry for no reason and didn't want to say a word to her.

Mourning his misfortune, angry and indisputable, he has no heart at all, thanks to not going to Kyoto with him, Li Xiu is such a solid eye, put it in the palace fight TV series, and he can't survive the first episode!

"I won't say anything else, think about it, you quit your family, Lin Xiucai found a beautiful little lady, you and I don't want to be a girl, and then gave birth to a fat doll, do you feel good?"

It's all over, that is, adults, marriage matters must be carefully considered, not capricious, and if you say that you will withdraw from your relatives, you must always give reasonable reasons. After retiring from his family, his uncle and aunt will be pointed at by others, this is what Li Xiu called fulfillment?

Mo Xiaohe couldn't understand, she didn't care about Li Xiu, opened the curtain and went out, and went to the upper room.

The Li family went to the room, Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang and Mo Xiaohe's grandparents sat at a table to play small cards, which was Dayue's way of playing, the four of them drank tea, leisurely, and it was rare to get together a table on weekdays, which could be regarded as catching up with the idle time.

Gu Zheng silently helped pour tea, back and forth, standing at the door and watching, he vaguely heard his lady's voice, it seemed that his breath was unstable, and he was anxious, but he couldn't go in to check, and when he saw her come out, he said, "Lady, you go to the side room to sit for a while." ”

There is a partial room next to the main house, the original owner has a small amount of wealth, invited the next person, there are tables, chairs and benches in the partial room, it is a pantry. After the Li family moved in, they basically didn't make any changes.

"Husband, my temper is getting bigger and bigger, so it's not good."

Mo Xiaohe took a deep breath, and waited for her husband to lower the door curtain, she leaned on his chest, listened to his steady heartbeat, and her irritable heart gradually calmed down.

The two snuggled up to each other, Gu Zheng touched her soft hair with his hand, it had never been so smooth before, her own lady didn't like to use hair oil, she washed her hair almost once a day or two, and her body was always filled with a faint fragrance of jasmine dew.

Mo Xiaohe grabbed Gu Zheng's big hand, practicing martial arts all year round, his hands were rough, and there was a layer of calluses in the palms of his hands, touching her delicate skin, itchy, she used his big hand to rub her cheeks, her eyes flashed with loneliness, and she said uncertainly, "Husband, am I being nosy?" Individuals have their own ideas, so why impose them on others? ”

Gu Zheng lowered his eyes and immediately understood the ins and outs. If Li Xiu is an outsider, then he is nosy, and his relatives are different. Li Xiucai and Lin Xiucai's withdrawal from their relatives will cause a series of chain reactions, and after the family knows the truth, they all have to be anxious.

"Yes, my grandmother's health has not been very good in the past two years, and Lang Zhong said not to get angry, otherwise she will have a tendency to have a stroke."

The eldest uncle was buried at the foot of the mountain, and the eldest aunt hid it from her grandparents, and she didn't dare to tell the truth, so she couldn't hide it when she came back, so she lied that she had fallen, and the process of uncle Li Dazhuang almost dying was unexpected, and no one dared to mention it. Knowing isn't necessarily a good thing, and sometimes, a white lie is needed.

Li Xiu felt that he was thinking about Lin Xiucai, but neglecting his closest family members, which was really undesirable. A man cares about the chastity of his wife, which is possessive, and he also has it.

Mo Xiaohe rolled her eyes, she didn't want to continue the topic, she felt very depressed, she just wanted to go home quickly, it was best to go back to the mountains, and live a life of only husband and wife, and no one would bother.

Before eating the next day, Li He hurried back, holding a box in his hand, and handed it to his younger sister Li Xiu, "Well, he gave it to you, and entrusted my brother-in-law to help transfer it." ”

was told by her cousin, Li Xiu suddenly sobered up, and now she can't afford to retreat at all, and the wood is already in the boat. She escaped, not to mention that it didn't work, and let her family get angry with her, thinking of this, she cast an apologetic look at Mo Xiaohe.

Carefully open the box, inside is a gold necklace of water drops, and there is a star pendant on it, Li Xiu touched the pendant with her hand, she couldn't put it down, she was a style that she accidentally saw in the album, casually mentioned it, but she didn't expect to be remembered by Lin Xiucai.

Thinking of that person, Sven is free and easy, looking rigid, but actually shrewd, calculating and not taking advantage, he is just an ordinary village girl who can no longer be ordinary, to have him, it is really a high incense, and it is indeed impossible to miss it.

Weighing the pros and cons, Li Xiu decisively decided that even if she used some means, she would hide the wedding night from the past, and she would be a good daughter-in-law in the future, have children, and be filial to her in-laws.

Mo Xiaohe noticed her cousin's gaze and pretended not to see it, after eating, she excused herself to have something at home, and Gu Zheng took the first step, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang stayed and continued to play cards, no one mentioned her pregnancy.

The older generation believed that there was a fetal god in pregnancy, that is, a god attached to the fetus. According to folk rumors, from the beginning of a woman's pregnancy to 100 days after childbirth, there is a fetal god around to bless the smooth growth of the fetus. If the pregnancy is told too early, it will provoke the anger of the fetal god and harm the child. Before coming, Aunt Zhang repeatedly told her relatives to tell her relatives three months later.

As soon as the husband and wife left, Li Xiu directly found Wen, the mother who cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, pulled the person down in the boudoir, closed the window and door, and mustered up the courage to confess, she always thought that she was right, and ran to the dark one way, and after thinking about it, she found that she was too naïve.

"What did you say?"

Wen Shi was so shocked that she retreated again and again, in a cold sweat, her face instantly turned pale, and her blood was lost, "Xiaoxiu, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"Mother, I've been quiet in the past few years, I almost forgot, only when you force me to look at each other, I can remember that I am so unbearable."

Li Xiu didn't want to cry, her face turned red, tears swirled in her eyes, she had cried too many times, she couldn't remember the number of times, every time she thought about it, her heart was shrouded in shadows, and the darkness almost swallowed her.

"O my miserable daughter! That scoundrel who kills a thousand knives, woo woo......"

Wen's sadness came from it for a while, but she ignored these, always felt that her daughter was still young, and she couldn't wipe her face and say that she was found by the old prostitute to find an opportunity, and she didn't know how many yellow flower girls she had harmed.

Usually encountered, can only admit bad luck, eat dumb losses, who dares to publicize, that is not to tell others that they are not chaste, the reputation is damaged, let people watch lively?

"What now? In case you ......"

On the wedding night, before Luohong was taken home, it would be a shame, Lin Xiucai's father and mother are easy to speak, but when it comes to issues of principle, they must not be able to tolerate it, Wen's leg slipped and fell to the ground, everything was too sudden, she was not psychologically prepared.

"Mother, listen to me, I want to marry him."

Li Xiu closed his eyes and opened them again, his eyes were full of determination, and there was no trace of hesitation, "I know that it is wrong for me to deceive him, but there is no other way, and if you marry someone else, you also have to pass this level." ”

No matter what, it is inevitable, then have the courage to face it, except for the loss of virginity at a young age, Li Xiu asked herself, in other aspects, she is not sorry for Lin Xiucai, there is a debt, and she will try to make up for it in the future, the reason why she said it is to prepare for the worst and wait for the best arrangement.
