Chapter 19: The Past

Although Situ Cheng was not injured multiple times, she fainted in the field that day and is said to have broken bones, which is well known. During the busy farming period, she couldn't help in the fields, and she felt very guilty.

Aunt Shi persuaded her that there were a few women who had not left the boudoir and showed up to go to the fields, so that she could live at home.

In her previous life, although her family was not rich and wealthy, she could be regarded as having no worries about eating and drinking. Her father, Qian Lao, was a small vendor and cloth merchant at the beginning, but later slowly accumulated wealth and made a fortune and opened a shop. The shop is full of silk and satin, cotton and linen and kudzu.

It's just that Qian Lao himself has no culture, and he doesn't pay much attention to the cultivation of future generations.

Qian Lao's first daughter married a businessman who opened a gold shop, and this family affair was originally considered a high climb. He counted on his eldest daughter to bring many benefits to his business after marrying, but he never thought that his eldest daughter would also suffer the loss of being uneducated.

The eldest daughter married the boss of the Jia family, a gold shopkeeper, and her mother-in-law also promised that after passing the door, the eldest daughter-in-law would slowly become familiar with the housekeeping of the family, which meant that it was possible to be the head of the house in the future.

I never thought that not long after getting married, the second child also married a daughter-in-law. The second daughter-in-law is not saying how powerful her mother's family is, she is just a small businessman. It's just that the second daughter-in-law can read and write, and she once managed the account room in her own shop. Now it's okay, the family that opened the gold shop sees that the second daughter-in-law is capable, so they have some ideas of transferring the power of the family to the second family.

The eldest daughter-in-law, who is also the eldest daughter of Qian Lao, looks like a housekeeper on the surface, but the financial incomings and goings are controlled by the second daughter-in-law. Isn't this a maid who takes the key and is not in charge?

Qian Lao learned the lesson of this time and began to pay attention to this aspect. While asking my husband to teach his second daughter, who is over 10 years old, to read and write, he also bought a lot of books from his residence. I built a study room for myself, and the shelves in the study room were full of books. It doesn't matter how good it is, there are all kinds of things, and he can't understand it anyway.

It's just pretending to be seen.,Whenever there are guests at home.,I don't welcome people into the front hall.,I just like to entertain guests in the study.。

Usually he doesn't take a step in the study.

At that time, Situ Ming's previous life was Qian Siyuan, and he was still a young child. Every day, I peeked at my husband teaching my second sister to read "Hundred Family Names", "Women's Rules" and "The Biography of the Daughters", and I also learned the same.

The rules of this dynasty are that women are virtuous if they are not talented, even if they are beautiful, they just need to read these types of books, and the rest is absolutely impossible.

At that time, Situ Cheng and her biological mother Su were quite oppressed by her mother-in-law Li, and Su was weak and afraid of retreating to the extreme, and she also taught Situ Cheng with her own thoughts on how to do things.

Once, when Situ Cheng peeked at her husband teaching her second sister to read, she was discovered by the Li family, and the Li family made a big fire and locked Situ Ming's mother and daughter in the firewood room and starved for two days. Since then, Su Shi has strictly guarded Situ Chen, not allowing her to read a sentence of writing in her mouth, and she has drawn half a word in her hand.

When Situ Cheng had just turned six years old, Li found a broken loom and some cotton from nowhere. They were ordered to spin and weave cloth every day, and only after completing the prescribed amount did they have enough to eat.

Situ Cheng didn't know whether to hate her mother-in-law or be grateful to her mother-in-law, thanks to the weaving skills she had practiced since childhood, she was able to raise her own pair of children when she was alone.

And Situ Cheng seems to be fascinated by the text of books, and the more she is not allowed to touch it, the more curious she is.

Next, with Aunt Sun's passing through the door, their lives became even more sad.

Aunt Sun gave birth to a younger brother to her less than a year after she passed the door, and Qian Lao was so happy that everyone in the world knew that he had a son.

The wife has only given birth to two daughters for more than 20 years, and the concubine Su gave birth to a daughter for the first time, and she has been pregnant two or three times in the next six years, but they have all inexplicably slipped tires. Because of this, it hurt his vitality a lot, and he fell into many root causes, especially when it rained on a cloudy day. Coupled with Li's harshness and Qian Lao's coldness, the drugs that Su usually have to take are not easy to come by.

Situ Cheng remembered that her ambition at that time was to be a female doctor when she grew up, if nothing else, if she knew how to heal, her mother would not have lived so hard.

Aunt Sun was born in an opera and sang Hua Dan. There is a classic cloud: All prostitutes, those who break their faces with ink dots are Hua Dan.

Aunt Sun has a pungent and debauched personality, and she has played a lot of careful thinking in order to enter the door of the Qian family. Although the Qian family is not a famous nobleman, it is better than the family, and the old Qian has no parents and no brothers and sisters. In this way, when you enter the door, you will not be angry with your mother-in-law, and there is no sister-in-law or anything to look down on.

The Sun family had already been secretly married before entering the door, and even if Qian Lao's wife was jealous, she couldn't withstand a crime that made the Qian family desperate.

The Sun family didn't expect that the Li family was not a good stubble, the two of them fought openly and secretly, and everyone who regarded the Su family as an arrow to get angry.

Although poor Situ Cheng was born in such a wealthy family, she didn't feel any use, and her mother's temperament of swallowing her voice subtly affected her a lot.

The greatest pleasure in her previous life was to read books secretly, at first she eavesdropped on her second sister reading "The Female Rule", and later she secretly watched her little brother write and read books such as "Analects" and "Mencius".

Of course, she has been found many times, and even if she is beaten and bleeding all over her body, it can't change her problem of stealing school. Later, the Li family stopped paying attention to her, thinking to himself, even if you read those books thoroughly, you are still a daughter, and you can still take the top prize. If you read too many books, you will only end up with a reputation for being a virtuous person, and with this background, she is not a concubine who is low and small.

Qian Lao's study is a decoration on weekdays, and there are so many kinds of books in it. Situ Cheng began to sneak into the study to look for books, many of the words on the books did not know at all, and she did not understand many words. But for some reason, she just likes to take it and look at it and slowly explore it herself.

Situ Cheng sat in the courtyard of the Shi family and fell into deep thought, and scenes of the past flashed in her mind.

How cowardly and timid I used to be, why did I change my personality after being reborn? She couldn't figure it out, but in fact, this was the real her, the bold and reckless fairy Si Ming.

As her nature returns, her heart becomes more and more conflicted. While thinking about being low-key, you can't be too ostentatious, but on the other hand, you can't see those bad guys succeed.

Just like yesterday's incident, is it right for her to do this, must she guarantee that she will not bring hidden dangers to the Shi family? If she endured the humiliation and let those people come nonsense, would it be difficult to ensure that the Shi family would live a stable and safe life in the future?

Left and right is an unknown, and it is better to live a chic and happy life than to endure humiliation and steal life.

When Situ Cheng thought of this, her heart felt a lot more relaxed, and she stood up and stretched out to sort out the firewood piled up in the courtyard.
