Chapter 4 The Past

Wisteria ran into the garden of flowers and trees in one go, completely ignoring the surprised eyes of passers-by. He sat down on the rock from before and covered his face, and began to cry loudly.

Coming to this place inexplicably, she didn't cry; Her chest often hurt when she was choked by falling into the water, but she didn't cry; The original owner's brother and sister-in-law came to pick her up and go back to be an old squire's concubine, but they still didn't cry; dragged the body that had just recovered to learn the rules, and was beaten by Wu's mother again and again, but she still didn't cry...... But today, tears poured out like beads of broken threads.

I don't know how long it took for Wisteria to calm down. He slowly stood up, walked to the well in the garden, washed his face gently, and pressed the handkerchief over his eyes.

Turning around the garden of flowers and trees, there are two houses next to the wall. It was where Yu's mother and another woman who was in charge of the garden lived.

Wisteria knew that Yu's mother had two sons and a daughter, and when she went to the mountains with the villagers to hunt wild animals the year before she became a family, she fell off the cliff and died, and the youngest daughter died before she grew up. The eldest son followed an uncle of the family to be a third-class shopkeeper in a tea shop in the main family of the capital, and the younger son was also on an errand in this Liuhe Village. Yu's mother lived with her youngest son at first, and the youngest son and daughter-in-law were quite filial to themselves, the only thing that annoyed her was that the youngest son ran out all day long, and he came into contact with many miscellaneous people, and often did not return at night, which caused the little daughter-in-law to come to him to cry if he was fine. I persuaded and persuaded myself, scolded and scolded, the youngest son promised to be good before, and he turned around and went again, and he couldn't do it. So three-quarters of the month lived in the garden.

Wisteria opened the curtain and went in, and saw Yu's mother setting up dishes and chopsticks. Didn't look back, just said:

"I thought you should come, there is something delicious today, Zirui's child asked someone to send a bowl of eight-treasure mutton, this is a hot day, just eat this."

After finishing speaking, he took the food box aside and put it away, sat down first, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of mutton to eat, and his mouth was still saying,

"It tastes really good, or it's still good for the old lady and the second lady."

After taking a bite and seeing that there was no movement, he looked up at the wisteria and said,

"Sit down, still waiting for the wine, hehe......" After saying that, he felt that something was not right. Wisteria stood facing her, although she didn't speak, but the red eye frame and the look of Mo Mo made Yu's mother feel a sudden in her heart.

"What's going on?" Yu's mother said as she pulled the wisteria close to her.

"This ...... Why are these eyes crying like this, good boy, tell sΓΉ mother, what's wrong? Are they bullying you again? ”

"Mother Yu......" Wisteria didn't finish a sentence, lying in her mother's arms and began to cry again.

Yu's mother patted Wisteria's back with her hand and said:

"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, if there's anything to say to your mother, don't cry, ah~" straightened Wisteria's body and said:

"Your body, just better, don't you want to be so sad, turn around and get sick again, but you are the one who suffers" picked up the handkerchief in his sleeve and gently tried Wisteria's tears.

Originally, Wisteria had thought about it just now, how could she talk to Yu's mother about it, she was only familiar with Yu's mother in the whole yard, and Yu's mother was really good to her. In the past, it was okay to make a small fight, but this time she was calculated by others, and she was so blatantly dealt with a little white flower with no background like her, there must be a conspiracy or reason that she didn't know.

Wisteria took her mother's handkerchief and wiped away the tears from her eyes.

"Look at me, it's all my fault, I thought about it, I couldn't cry in front of you, but when I saw you, I felt wronged, and now it disturbed your meal."

After speaking, he helped Yu's mother sit down at the dinner table and put the bowl in front of him.

"Mom, let's eat first, this is not something that can be said in a while."

"Okay, eat first". Mother Yu saw that the wisteria was indeed not as excited as just now, so she let go of half of her heart, sat down, picked up a piece of mutton and put it in the wisteria bowl. The two looked at each other and smiled, and ate quietly.

Wisteria got up early, and it was really hard to be mentally disturbed by this sudden incident. A plate of mutton, a cold cucumber, and a bowl of hot and sour soup, Yu's mother only ate a small part, and the rest went into Wisteria's stomach.

Wisteria picked up the empty bowl and said as she picked up the food box:

"It's still the food on the second miss's side that is delicious, if only I could eat it every day."

"Put it there, and Zirui will send the little girl to fetch it later."

After Wisteria turned around and poured a cup of tea for Yu's mother, he sat on the bench and slowly told Yu's mother about the morning's events.

Yu's mother held the teacup in her hand tightly while listening, and after listening to her, she slammed the teacup in her hand on the table.

"It depends on the owner to beat the dog, Wu Wenxiu knows that you were saved by me, so she is close to me, she is coming at me!" Wu Wenxiu is Wu's mother's name.

"What's the matter with Mom?"

"You say, that watercress doesn't remember where her earrings fell, and it was Qiu Xiang who reminded her that she fell into the night bucket?" Yu's mother didn't reply to Wisteria.

"Yes, I think to myself, it must be Qiu Xiang who led the cress to say that, and I usually listen to Qiu Xiang about everything."

"No wonder, I'm still wondering, I'm waiting here! Hmph~" Yu's mother sneered.

Wisteria refilled some tea for Yu's mother, and moved a corner stool to sit next to Yu's mother. Yu's mother took a sip of tea, looked out the window through the curtain, and muttered:

"Wu Wenxiu and I grew up in the same village, and the two families are door to door, so they are naturally close. Coincidentally, he married into a village again, and his husband's family was all on an errand in Zhuangzi, and at that time he was as good as a person.

"It's just that Wu Wenxiu has two daughters in a row, and she finally looked forward to a boy, three years older than my youngest daughter.

"I didn't tell you about Niu'er." Yu's mother retracted her gaze, touched Wisteria's hair, raised her head again, and looked at the door curtain vacantly.

"Niu'er didn't come when I was four years old, and I didn't work in the village at that time, so I just took care of the children and my mother-in-law at home every day. My mother-in-law had been bedridden for two years at that time, and my sister-in-law went again that spring, and there were too many things at home.

"I remember it raining that day, it wasn't raining, but it kept raining, and it was annoying. My mother-in-law coughed up blood again, and I washed under the eaves with the quilt. I watched Wu Wenxiu's youngest son take Niu'er's hand and come out of the house together, smiled at me and said that he would take Niu'er to his house to eat rice cakes.

"It's raining, I don't want them to go, I said I'm waiting for Wu Wenxiu to pick them up, but Niu'er came and pulled me and said that she wanted to go with her little brother, I was upset, waved my hand and let them go, I watched their two little figures walk out of the courtyard gate, I never thought that it was the last look.

"About half an hour, Wu Wenxiu rushed in like crazy, pulled me and beat me, and said 'return my son, return my son'...... or my big son pulled people away.

"Later I learned that the two children had gone out and instead of going home immediately, they were clamoring to go to the river to catch manatees, which could only come out on rainy days. As a result, Niu'er accidentally slipped into the river, Wu Wenxiu's son was going to pull her, but Wu Wenxiu, who rushed over to pick them up, saw it and shouted no, but it was too late, her son had already taken Niu'er's hand, and the two slid in together......"

After a while, Yu's mother continued:

Since then, this feud has been settled, although Wu Wenxiu later gave birth to another son, she still holds a grudge against me.

"She has to compete with me for everything, and she must block everything I want to do, and even for a while, she even let a junior of his husband's family lead my eldest son out to do bad things.

"After his man became the steward of Zhuangzi, Wu Wenxiu did not hide it at all, until Zirui became a big maid next to the second lady, and she restrained herself a little."

At this time, the voice of the little girl came from the door,

"Is Mother Yu here? Sister Zirui sent me to get the food box. ”

Wisteria hurriedly stood up and took the food box out, followed by Yu's mother, opened the curtain, grabbed a handful of candy and put it in the little girl's hand. The little girl pushed and said no, but was taken by Wisteria and stuffed into her hand, and the little girl left happily.
