Chapter 34: The Story (Part II)
It is probably the case with a man that when he does not love a woman, he thinks of forcing her, conquering her, possessing her, in order to satisfy his natural desire to conquer.
But when he falls in love with a woman, he will never see her sad and sad again, even if he can no longer get him because of it.
Finally, after Mrs. Zhuang once again self-harmed, seeing that Mrs. Zhuang was worse off than dead, Lin Yue chose to let go and sent her back to the Lin family.
But after Mrs. Zhuang returned to the banker's house, the matter was not over.
The family she was married to sent a letter of resignation on the day she returned, threatening that Mrs. Zhuang had been taken captive by thieves for so many days, and she was no longer innocent, and their family could not marry an innocent girl.
Mrs. Zhuang's reputation has long been bad, although Mrs. Zhuang is angry in her heart, she can only reluctantly accept the resignation of Geng and handle the matter of retreating.
Mrs. Zhuang is not sad, she has a good life, she also has a beautiful fantasy about her future husband, hoping that the husband and wife will be harmonious, and that when she encounters danger, he will come to save her with colorful clouds.
But the truth is that her fiancé left himself behind when he was in danger. She guarded his chastity, and finally returned home from danger, but he sent a resignation and ruined his reputation everywhere.
However, her fiancé did not seem to be doing well, and on the night of his divorce, he heard that he had been abolished.
And that night, Lin Yue hid in the tree outside Mrs. Zhuang's boudoir, and looked at the dim candlelight in the house for half the night, wondering if the girl in his heart was crying.
Then, as soon as Mrs. Zhuang pushed open the window, she saw him in the tree. Both of them were a little speechless, staring at each other.
Then, Lin Yue became embarrassed and said to the girl in his heart: "I know you don't want to see me, I'll leave immediately." But I just want to tell you that that man doesn't deserve you, don't be sad anymore, you deserve better. Also, if someone hurts you in the future and someone comes to me with this wooden whistle, I will help you take revenge and will not let you be bullied again. After speaking, he handed a wooden whistle in his hand to Mrs. Zhuang.
But Mrs. Zhuang didn't answer, just stared at his face and kept looking, and didn't speak.
Lin Yue was disappointed, but he still hung the wooden whistle on the branch in front of her, and then jumped off the tree and left silently.
After Lin Yue left, Mrs. Zhuang picked up the wooden whistle and put it on her chest, and then her fiancé didn't cry when he got out of the marriage, and people outside said that she didn't cry because she lost her innocence, but at this moment she finally cried.
This man had forced her, he had trapped her in a cottage, he had put her in prison, he had ruined her reputation, and he was a thief who went around robbing and setting fires. She used to hate him so much that she wanted to kill him with a knife. But in the end, he still let her go, never hurt her, punished the person who hurt her for her, and told her, "If someone hurts you, come to me, I won't let you be bullied."
When her fiancé abandoned her and her family felt that she was ashamed, she drew the only warmth from him, but at this moment, Mrs. Zhuang was touched by him.
Then on the second day, Mrs. Zhuang packed up a few clothes and some jewelry that she wore on weekdays, and returned to the mountain with a maid close to her.
Lin Yan, Cheng's Zheng and others listened to it with relish, and Lin Yan seemed to be still immersed in the story of Mrs. Zhuang and couldn't get out, and sighed: "What a beautiful story! ”
Zheng asked with a smile: "Then old lady, have you fallen in love with General Lin since then?" ”
Old Madam Zhuang shook her head and said, "That's not it, I had a bad reputation at that time, although the people in the family didn't say it, but they also faintly showed a little bit of shame for me, and I even thought that they might rather I die on the mountain to leave a reputation for defending chastity." I just felt that I couldn't live at home anymore, and he said he liked me, so he thought, it's all like this anyway, so I just forgot with him. ”
Lin Yan said: "I don't believe it. A girl, to break free from the world's eyes, abandon her parents and relatives, leave behind her identity as a young lady, and then follow a thief, how much loneliness does it take, anyway, I can't do it, old lady, you must have liked the old lady a little at that time. Saying that, he smiled curiously and asked, "It must be that before in the cottage, the old lady did a lot of things that moved the old lady, right?" ”
Old Madam Zhuang did not speak, and was a little silent.
Zheng asked again: "Then how did the old lady join the army later?" ”
Mrs. Zhuang said: "Then it's a long story, after I made a private agreement with him for life, my father broke away from my father-daughter relationship with me and no longer recognized me as a daughter, although I was sad, but I was helpless." Later, my mother died, and I couldn't help but go back to the spirit to fulfill my filial piety, so I took the line girl back to the banker's house. As a result, my father had me stopped at the door and forbade me to enter, threw out the things I had sent, and threatened that there was no daughter in the dealer who would be the wife of the village, and that I could only kowtow a few times outside.
When he found out, he was aggrieved for me, so he told my father that he would come back with a fortune for me in the future, and asked the dealer to beg me to let me in. Then he disbanded the cottage and joined the army, and later got the blue eyes of the old grandfather and entered the account of the old grandfather. ”
Old Madam Zhuang smiled helplessly and said, "At that time, I didn't believe that he could really earn a life for me to come back, but he was no longer in the business of robbing homes and houses and was willing to take the right path, but I supported it." But I didn't expect that although he hadn't read a book and didn't know any strategy, with his brute courage and pretty good skills, he really became an official and asked me for an order.
Shinong businessman, business is the lowest class, although my mother's family is rich, but there is really no official or with a command. It wasn't until the news of his official became known that my mother's family slowly resumed contact with me. ”
Lin Yan said unjustly for Mrs. Zhuang: "Mrs. Zhuang is really true, how can you blame you for being taken captive at the beginning." Later, you got married, although you are not satisfied with your son-in-law, but you are always his daughter, how can you not recognize your daughter. As a result, when you and the old lady Tengda, they came to recognize your daughter again, which is really too powerful. ”
Mrs. Zhuang said: "In this world, how can you take care of everything clearly. ”
His father actually really loves her, since she was a child, she loves her more than several brothers, but one person's love for another person is always limited, for example, when his father is old, he always feels guilty and says sorry for her, and when he is dying, he still holds her hand with guilt and says sorry, and the children and grandchildren of the Zhuang family must take good care of her.
But think about it seriously, if her husband didn't rise to prominence, and was just a thief, would he still feel guilty about her and feel sorry for her, but I am afraid that he would still think that she was a shame to the dealer. Her brothers and nephews are now taking care of and respecting her so much, in addition to really thinking that it was the Zhuang family who was ashamed of her at the beginning, I am afraid that it is more because the informant married into the Lin family, she is the in-laws of the Wuguo Mansion. The banker's business has become bigger and bigger in recent years, and he even dares to intervene in the cargo business, not because of the in-law relationship with the Wuguo Mansion.
Sometimes thinking too clearly, thinking too much is always easy to get hurt, and it is better to live in a daze.
In this life, he is the only one who can love her without a bottom line, indulge her, and love her more than his own life. It's just that he left their mother and daughter early and left by himself, which is really infuriating.
