Shuangxiong Village, an ordinary ancient village located in the south of the Yangtze River. Here the names are based on the surnames Su and Qian.

Under the ancient tree at the head of the village, a group of women were discussing: "His third aunt, have you heard, I'm afraid that the seven seven of these two families will not work again." ”

The third aunt is the Qian Lin family in the village who likes to inquire about various family affairs, she lowered her head and said: "I don't know what Liu Sanniang has made, why is there one born and one dies?" Could it be that she did too many wrong things in her previous life? ”

The sister-in-law Su who asked just now was Su Tang's family, and she said in a low voice: "We don't know if Liu Sanniang did anything in her previous life, but she was thrown away by her biological father and mother in three months, do you think she will..."

Another woman also came over: "Sister-in-law Tang is saying that she may have been hit with a desperate word?" I heard that when she was picked up, the small quilt that wrapped her and the clothes on her body were not worn by ordinary children. There are people who can afford to wear such unusual clothes, but they won't throw away their own daughters, right? ”

Su Ercheng is very protective of his daughter-in-law, and this word reached his ears, but something is about to happen. Su Tang hurriedly said: "I didn't say that, when Ercheng married her and entered the door, he took Sheng Gengba to count, it can't be like this." ”

Qian Lin said mysteriously: "I heard that Liu Sanniang's birthday was actually reported by the Liu family themselves, I heard my aunt say that when the Liu family picked up Liu Sanniang, she didn't have a birthday on her!" And @一@本@Read-Novel xstxt When Liu Sanniang picked it up, not only was the clothing good, but she also had a jade bead bracelet on her hand, although the condition was not very good, but how many families in our countryside would have this kind of thing? ”

Everyone's eyes widened: "Huh? The real thing is true, this jade bead bracelet was only sold by her when she was sick the year before last, and I heard that it was worth more than ten taels of silver, how can ordinary people buy ten taels of silver jewelry for a child? ”

"Alas, I don't know if it's Liu Sanniang's bad life, or the difference in the life of Qiqi. Although he finally survived, he dragged down the Su family again. The family is so poor, which girl will dare to marry in the future? Qian Lin's face was fake sympathy, and everyone thought she was really kind-hearted.

Su Tang said in a low voice: "I heard that Uncle Qi intends to let the third son of Brother Dacheng's family pass on to Brother Ercheng, I don't know if this is true?" ”

Qian Lin was excited when he heard it: "Which one said it?" ”

Su Tang looked left and right before saying softly: "Sicheng's daughter-in-law said, she is red-eyed, Ercheng's brother's family has more than four acres of land, this is over, and this house and land will not be a stepson in the future?" ”

A young daughter-in-law asked puzzledly: "Brother Ercheng's Qiqi is not dead, how can the seventh aunt propose the matter of succession?" The second brother and the third sister-in-law listened to it, so they weren't angry? ”

Qian Lin glanced at his daughter-in-law with disdain: "I explained the Chun family, do you think this seventh sister-in-law will care about Su Ercheng and his wife?" In her eyes, apart from silver and grain, which child entered her eyes? Otherwise, how could he marry Daxiu to the Ji family back then? That's a deep mountain and old forest that is uninhabited after walking for half a day! ”

Su Tang immediately agreed: "Indeed, I heard that for more than ten years, Sister Daxiu has never opened her mouth to call her mother." ”

I didn't know that the woman in the village was gossiping about her life experience again, and in the two thatched houses in the village, Liu Sanniang, who was full of worry, said worriedly: "Xianggong, why don't you say Qiqi is still awake?" Am I really the one the people in the village call the hit with the word? ”

Su Ercheng, who was already gray-haired in his early forties, comforted Liu Sanniang and said, "Child, don't talk nonsense!" Didn't the eminent monk say it? Qiqi's mouthful of blood vomited too fiercely, it will take three days to recuperate, and he should wake up today. ”

Liu Sanniang was still uneasy and said: "Qiqi vomited so much blood, will there be something?" ”

Although Su Ercheng was also worried, he was a man, and he couldn't let his daughter-in-law be sad alone, so he patted Liu Sanniang's head and said: "Her mother, the monk's spell is famous in the state government, and he said that Qiqi will be fine if he is fine." Don't worry too much, now you should go cook some porridge and feed her when she wakes up. The monk said that as long as you raise it well for two months, you will be completely fine after Qiqi! ”

Liu Sanniang wiped her tears and nodded and said, "Well, Xianggong is right, we have to believe in the monks, our Qiqi will be fine, she will wake up soon!" I'm going to cook porridge, Xianggong, you can watch it here for a while. ”

"You ruined, a person of your age, you can't even look down on a child, I think you're really useless! I said back then that Ercheng would really marry you, there was a hard time, and the woman who didn't want my father and mother would hurt my family Ercheng like this, and I couldn't get out of this breath when I thought about it! Suddenly, a harsh, shrill voice rose from outside the door.

Su Ercheng frowned: "Mother, the child is going to have an accident, and this is not Sanniang's intention." ”

Aunt Su's eyes widened, and the light that shot out of her eyes was eager to eat her son: "What do you mean by not intentionally?" Doesn't she know that it's not easy for Qiqi to bring a big one? If you are born, you will be born, but if you give birth to nine and only bring this one, you will not be a blessed person at first glance. Liu Sanniang, pity my Erlang was killed by you!"

Liu Sanniang's face turned white: "Mother..."

Aunt Su looked disgusted: "What do you do so heavy!" I'm not deaf again, am I wrong? Look at your unblessed face, it makes people unlucky to look at it! ”

It's really too much, in the past 20 years, her daughter-in-law has been diligent and filial, even if she was a little weaker when she married in, but after so many years at home and abroad, which thing is not taken care of by her? Besides, if the child can't be brought with her, how can she be blamed alone?

The more Su Ercheng listened to his mother-in-law scolding his daughter-in-law, the more sad he felt in his heart, and when he saw his daughter-in-law's grievance, he was anxious: "Mother, this child is going to be sick, is it my daughter-in-law's business?" Besides, after giving birth to so many children, the mother did not know how much the mother had suffered. Also, among the more than 100 families in our village, there are more than a dozen people who have not brought any of them, so are all of them unlucky? If you want to say that this blessed thing is also the Su family's business, Sanniang and Liu Sanniang, where can they affect our Su family? Qiqi is like this now, my mother thinks that we are better parents than you? ”

"I can't take care of other people's affairs anyway, but this is my Su family! Knowing that Qiqi's child has always been difficult to raise, he was finally brought to the age of seven, and he also knew that his body could not be frightened, you are good, you don't know to watch him closely when there is such a big thing in the village, let him faint, it's not that you didn't bring it well, so what? What else do you want from such a useless woman! It is true that it is difficult to raise children, and Aunt Su also understands that she married into the Su family at the age of sixteen and gave birth to eleven of them, and only brought five, Su Ercheng said this, she understood in her heart. However, because she was dissatisfied with Liu Sanniang and the second son's family, she just wanted to find a problem.

Su Ercheng saw that his daughter-in-law's face was getting more and more ugly, and she had barely closed her eyes for two days, and she was scolded by her mother like this again, afraid that she was going to fall: "Okay, mother, you always have to blame her so much, and there is no way to be a junior." Tang Xiaoniang was frightened by the sinking pond, it was not Qiqi's child who was frightened, but Qiqi's body was a little weaker. Besides, if you want your child not to join in the fun, then you still call it a child? Mother, don't worry about it, the monk said, Qiqi will definitely wake up today. "The monk borrowed the lives of his two husbands and wives from God, and he didn't believe that his child couldn't live.

Speaking of the monk, Liu Sanniang's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, she reached out and stroked her daughter on her chest, the gentleness on her face dripped down like water, and she said silently in her heart: Qiqi, you must live well. As long as you can live well, don't say that with your father's and mother's ten years of life, even if we want to die immediately, I am willing.

Aunt Su looked at her lifeless grandson on the bed and put forward what she thought: "Ercheng, let my mother tell you, this child is so weak, even if he grows up, it will be difficult to support this family." I discussed it with your eldest brother and asked him to pass on the fifth child to you, and it will save you from this household. ”

Su Ercheng said: "Let the eldest brother pass on the fifth child to me?" Mother, why do you think so? ”

Aunt Su's eyes flashed: "Why do I think so?" I still don't think you think? Look at Qiqi like this, is it a top use? I have already told your eldest brother, and in the future, the fifth child will write your household registration, and the child will still be with his father, and his food will belong to you. ”

Liu Sanniang was angry when she heard this, the child had been with her own mother-in-law, and asked them to raise them as husband and wife? When such a child grows up, can he still honor the two of himself? Don't mothers-in-law know that in order to treat their daughter's illness, the family bought only that acre of land? And what do you tell them to raise other people's sons? Besides, although her Qiqi is a daughter, others don't know that she is a girl, is her child not flesh and blood in the eyes of her mother-in-law?

Liu Sanniang dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, when her child was not born, she met an old nun who was traveling in the clouds and pointed out that if you want your child to grow up, you must be raised by a woman and a man, otherwise you won't live for 100 days. Named by others, the two husbands and wives raised their daughter as a son with trepidation, although they have always been very weak, but they are still raised until they are seven years old without strong winds and waves. This time the accident, the monk said that this is a hurdle that she must pass in her life, and if she passes, she will be fine.

Is this mother-in-law really kind now? Do you really want to leave a top household for their house, or do you fancy their acres of land? Her mind is too obvious! Even if this place makes her blush, now Qiqi is also a grandson in her eyes, if the couple dies early, this step-nephew will be good to Qiqi and will raise her?

No, it's impossible, just the uncle and sister-in-law, especially the sister-in-law, she won't be so kind to teach this nephew to be good to the hall, I'm afraid she just thinks about her two houses with more than four acres of land, right? After all, the three brothers of the Su family have very little land in their own homes, and most of them live by renting large households in the village to farm.

Aunt Su didn't think about what the two daughters-in-law thought, she thought that she was also for the good of her son, there were three unfilial pieties, and there was no queen, she completely threw Su Qiqi, a half-living person, aside: "Tomorrow, please ask the patriarch to witness it, and simply go through the adoption procedures." ”

Liu Sanniang was anxious when she heard this: "Mother, Qiqi is still sick!" ”

Aunt Su's eyes glared at her with an angry face: "What does it matter if he doesn't wake up or not?" Anyway, it's settled, I'll just let you know! ”

Looking at Aunt Su angrily going out, Liu Sanniang cried: "My poor Qiqi, it's useless to be a mother, it's useless to be a mother, if your mother can feed you a brother, your grandmother won't stare at this more than four acres of land and a broken house to force us." ”

Su Ercheng is an honest and diligent man, and he is also a filial man, his mother is so unreasonable, as his own son, even if he is angry, he will not dare to confront her in front of her.

For a while, the two couples hugged each other and looked at their daughter who was still unconscious on the bed, and cried...
