Chapter 3: The Death of the Wounded Mother

Long after that, life seemed to be peaceful again, and we still lived in a remote corner of the West Wing, with no one to care about or destroy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

But children are always in nature to love and care. Although I don't know why they quarreled and were angry that night, and I don't know why my father hated me so much, I still longed for my father to like me, to be like him when he returned from business at this moment, holding his little brother in his left hand and holding Zhiqin in his right hand, through the front yard, to the main hall, staring at them with satisfaction and joy in his eyes. Thinking like this, I unconsciously followed, looking at him quietly, watching him ask his entourage Uncle Xiang to choose the toys and gifts he brought back for his sisters and brothers.

It may be that the younger brother sitting on his lap said something that made him look up and laugh, and for a moment, the four eyes met, but his face suddenly became ugly. The eldest lady and the housekeeper Fu Bo also found me standing quietly on the side, and the eldest lady's voice was very sharp: "Who let her come to the front, Fu Bo, how do you take care of it?!" Fauber quickly pulled my arm out, and it hurt me so much that I didn't know it. I twisted my head desperately to look back, but he didn't look up at me again, and the rattle in my brother's hand beat happily, and the sound hit my heart, it hurt very much......

My mother gave me medicine, bruises were faintly visible on her white arms, and her tears fell down, dripping on my palms, moistening the broken and crooked lines, and my heart was cold. I finally knew that in this life, I will never be loved by my father.

In the blink of an eye, it is another year, and the peach and plum are fragrant in spring.

Today, up and down the Su Mansion, except for my father who went out early in the morning to discuss matters, the other aunts, sisters and brothers all went to Zhaofu Temple to pray for blessings and spring, and only a few people were left to guard the door. Xiuniang is not in the house, she and her mother have secretly made some embroidery recently, and her mother asked her to take the opportunity to sell it to make up for some use.

It's rare that there is no eldest mother, second mother, fourth mother, sister and brother in the back garden, and for the first time, I can run around in the garden at will and play around. As far as the eye can see, a piece of flowers is red and willow green, during which the bees are busy, and the pink butterflies are flying, which is really a spring color. I excitedly walked left and right, swinging, feeding the fish, dancing, and having fun, even the forehead corners, fine and dense sweat. It's really a little crazy, I just feel dry mouth, and I'm going to go back to the room to rest, and ask my mother to change my clothes. When passing by the flowerbed that was in full bloom and the new stamen was spitting incense, he suddenly rolled his eyes, stood on tiptoe, got into the flower garden, selected the flower branches that were blooming in the dense place, quietly pinched a few branches, and decided to take them back to the mother's room.

I bounced all the way holding the flowers, breathing the fragrance of the flowers and walking back, fantasizing about my mother's happiness. My mother is so beautiful, like a fairy who came out of a painting. I once secretly looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging in my father's study, and the beauties in the paintings were nothing more than this compared to my mother. But the mother just doesn't like to laugh, if she laughs, presumably the beauty in the painting will also lose her color.

But just in the corridor, I heard a whimper and scream from my mother's room. Mother, what's wrong?! I didn't care about the flowers in my hand, I threw them away, lifted the hem of my skirt and ran over in a hurry, and wanted to rush to the door. However, the moment I raised my hand, I clearly heard Daddy's voice: "You slut! "And the crisp sound of the slap.

He's beating his mother! How can he treat his mother like this, even if he doesn't like his mother anymore, he doesn't like me, but he must not beat his mother?! I pushed the door with all my might, but it was bolted from the inside, and no matter how much I knocked or shouted, it would never open. I cried anxiously and stamped my feet, and the voice of my mother in the room gradually weakened, until later, only Daddy's heavy gasps and a word or two of "slut" came from time to time.

It felt like a long winter, and I huddled in front of the door with my arms crossed, crying hoarsely. The door finally creaked open, and Daddy walked out in dishevelled clothes, with a heavy smell of alcohol. As if he didn't see me, he walked away.

I hurriedly rushed into the room, and at a glance I saw my mother half lying on the bed, with shocking blood marks on the corners of her mouth that were high and swollen, and her hair that was always neat and black in normal times was loose and unkempt, and her clothes were torn to pieces hanging scattered on her naked body, like a lifeless clay puppet, motionless.

"Mother." I threw myself at her, but I didn't dare to touch her body hard, for fear that if I did, I would hurt her again. But the mother still didn't react, her eyes were wide open, and her dull pupils looked at the roof vacantly, as if she wanted to stare through it. "Mother, don't scare Chen'er! Mother ......" I cried and shook her arm gently, only to see that her body was full of scratched and bitten scars. What kind of hatred is my poor mother, to make my father so cruel to her, I hate him!

I don't know how long I cried again, I went to the kitchen to get a basin of hot water, wrung a wet towel, wiped her body carefully, carefully changed her clothes, and helped her lie down. Half a ring, only to see the bed, the mother's thin body trembled, and tears flowed silently in her eyes. I carefully leaned down on the crook of her arm and wiped the tears from her face, and she suddenly reached out and put her arms around me, "Chen'er." That's when she burst into tears......

Since then, my mother has fallen ill and has been lying down all day long, and her body has become more and more thin. And the events of that day, as if it had never happened, the eldest mother would not ask why her mother was sick, but only sent a Lang Zhong to see a few consultations, and after prescribing several medicines, there was no effect, and then she stopped coming. Daddy, it is reported that he went out the next day and has not returned. The name "Daddy" was so longing to be close to me in my memory before I was 9 years old, and now, there is only hatred!

The weather gradually turned from hot to cool, and it quietly entered the beginning of autumn. My mother began to cough a little in the morning and evening, and it slowly became serious. As a last resort, Xiuniang sold the last bracelet left by her mother, changed some medicine and came back to boil it for her mother to drink, but she still didn't know that it was good. Xiuniang and I had to beg the eldest lady a few times to ask her to help find a Langzhong, but she turned a deaf ear. I went to beg Erniang and Siniang again, and in the end, Rao is Erniang came in with her nose covered and took a look, and the next day there was another Langzhong.

I squatted in front of the bed, saw Lang Zhong put 3 fingers on his mother's wrist through the silk handkerchief, his eyes were slightly closed, and he stroked his gray beard, so he groaned thoughtfully, and then asked Xiuniang to help his mother up a little and show him his complexion. I didn't care about so many taboos, I lifted the curtain hanging on the bed slightly, and Xiuniang held her mother hard and let her lie on her side.

Tears were about to fall in my eyes, but after half a year, my mother's original fair skin had gradually turned white, and her body was like a withered body because of her emaciation, only a touch of abnormal flush on her face. Lao Langzhong only glanced at it a few times, then motioned for his mother to lie down and walked to the tea table, but he didn't see a pen to write a prescription.

I was anxious, so I pulled his sleeve and asked, "Grandpa, how is my mother, you can treat her quickly!" ”

The old man looked at my tearful eyes with a frown, but asked, "Little girl, can you invite your father to come over for a discussion?" ”

When I heard this, I cried: "Grandpa, I beg you to save my mother, I don't want my father, I just want my mother!" As he spoke, he knelt down.

The old man hurriedly helped me up and sighed slightly. "Little girl, your mother's illness, I'm afraid it's been delayed for too long......" I didn't hear what he said later, such as serious injury to the lungs, tuberculosis after a long illness, and difficult treatment of heart medicine, etc., I didn't hear it at all, just blindly pulled his sleeve, crying so hard to stop, Xiuniang also kept shedding tears, begging him to quickly prescribe medicine and let him treat my mother. The housekeeper Fu Bo came to see me on the order of the eldest mother, and when he saw my situation, he was very pitiful, so he helped me ask Lang Zhong to give me a prescription.

After the medicine went down, my mother's cough didn't seem to be so frequent, but she was just sleepy, and she was talking intermittently in a daze, and the most she called was my name. Occasionally, when I was awake, he took my little hand and stared at me with slightly open eyes, with endless tenderness on his face.

After a while, the weather suddenly became cold, and it seemed to be late autumn earlier than usual. The maple leaf in the courtyard is red, and at this time in previous years, it was red and bright like a cloud, but this year it withered early, leaving a dead branch of the tree. My heart also seems to wither, my mother finally abandoned me and left, in the days when she landed on me 10 years ago, with her only attachment to this world, she reluctantly closed her eyes.

And I, on the other hand, can only once again verify the ominousness of my birth, and I am spurned by the family. After my mother was hastily buried, my mother explained to Fu Bo and asked him to find a family for me and send it far away.

In addition to a purple jade hairpin and her guqin that my mother left me when she came to leave, all I could take away was two sets of change of clothes, and a Xiu Niang who would not abandon me to death. Aunt Kang drove us out of the house. Aunt Kang said that her relatives in her foreign family have no children under their knees, so they can take me in and be a adopted daughter, and the foreign family is far away from my Suyang City, so she must not have heard those rumors about me, so she must treat me well. I have nothing to find fault with, this Su Mansion can no longer accommodate me, and I feel that there is nothing to be nostalgic for it.
