456 Zhou
Shen Rouning naturally admitted that Mrs. Chen was a kind-hearted person.
She looked at Chen Houyun calmly, wondering what he wanted to say. Or what does it have to do with the scroll in his hand?
Chen Houyun said: "When I traveled in the past, I followed the divine doctor for a while. It's the old doctor who is now living in the Mighty Mansion. He told me about some cases, and I didn't pay much attention to them at the time, but recently I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have seen similar accounts in several books, and I looked for them. ”
He handed the scroll in his hand to Shen Rouning and motioned for Shen Rouning to look at the page he was turning.
Shen Rouning took it and looked at it.
It's an uncomplicated but gripping story. is about a country woman who was originally very kind, has two sons, also married to biological sons, and the family loves each other, and her life is not too rich, but she can get by. But just after the youngest son gave birth to a granddaughter, for some unknown reason, the woman's temperament suddenly changed drastically, and she was short-tempered, and she would lose her temper if she was not satisfied, and even beat people...... One winter day, when the family went to work in the field, she was at home to take care of her little granddaughter, but because the child was crying, she threw the child directly into the pond behind the house! The other two grandchildren saw it and quickly jumped into the water to save it, but the water was cold in winter, and one of the last three children did not survive! The old woman came to her senses and saw the tragic situation, but she couldn't bear it anymore, and she committed suicide with a rope.
A home can be dissolved!
The book says that the reason why this woman's temperament suddenly changed drastically, from a kind person to a devil who killed her grandson with her own hands. It was caused by a curse......
After reading this, Shen Rouning was still a little puzzled-
What does Chen Houyun want to allude to with this story? Doesn't it imply that Mrs. Chen is the same as the woman in the story? That's ridiculous!
"When you were with your mother, you got along very well. It can be seen that Mother really loves you. Chen Houyun's words revealed emotion: "I originally thought that when you entered the door, you should be able to be more harmonious...... I didn't expect her to be resistant to you...... And then express dissatisfaction and targeting. ”
"It's really nothing at the moment, and I know that Ah Ning you won't take this to heart...... But it's always bad to let it go on like this. Chen Houyun pointed to the scroll and said, "I asked you to read this paragraph because the old doctor once mentioned to me that many women have reached their age. It seems that they will experience upset and chest tightness for a long time. Restlessness, insomnia, tiredness, weakness, sensitivity and irritability, etc., in the eyes of outsiders, it is a deterioration of temperament and temper...... Almost without exception. ”
"What does my cousin mean is that my mother is really unwell?" Shen Rouning asked softly.
"This kind of performance. Maybe it's a disease. But I couldn't find much evidence. The old doctor was also aware of this. And then you pay attention to it, and you will tell me, also because this is not a healer. I just talked a few words. Chen Houyun muttered, "But I will visit the old doctor as soon as possible...... Maybe there have been some gains in the past few years? Would Ning like to go with me? ”
"For the sake of my mother's well-being, I am naturally willing to go with my cousin." Shen Rou thought for a while and said, "However, I think that even if there is such a woman's disease, most of it is a heart disease...... Cousin, my mother must have not been out of the capital for a long time, right? It seems that since he got married, he has never returned to his parents' home? ”
Chen Houyun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said, "If you don't say it, I'm really negligent about this." ”
Mrs. Chen's maiden name is Zhou, and she is a big family in Jiangxi and has a lot of prestige in the local area. However, the Zhou family cultivated and studied heirlooms, and the children of the family were all doing business and officials near their homes, and rarely interacted with the capital. After Mrs. Chen got married, she immediately took over the housework and raised her sister-in-law, and then her two sons...... Speaking of which, there is hardly any leisure time, and I never ask to go back to my parents' house.
Because of the distance between the Zhou family, Mrs. Chen rarely mentions her mother's family, so much so that Chen Houyun and Chen Houji even forgot about this relative! Not to mention what kind of relationship you can have with that side.
But Mrs. Chen is different.
No matter how happy and happy she lives after getting married, she will never forget her mother's family. Even if she never talked about the lack of affection with her loved ones, that was where she grew up!
Chen Houyun once went to the ancestral land of the Zhou family.
The Zhou family operates in the local area, has a good reputation, and has the legacy of the scholars. It's just that the Zhou family seems to only value men and not women, especially married daughters. Chen Houyun lived in it for a while, and he felt that the man in charge of the Zhou family seemed to think that the threshold of the Chen family was too high, and in order to prove that they were not clinging to it, he deliberately alienated and indifferent the in-law relationship!
In short, Chen Houyun did not feel much warmth from the Zhou clan. Therefore, after leaving, he rarely thought of the Zhou family.
Chen Houyun told Shen Rouning about the Zhou family, and said, "In any case, it's better to go to the old doctor's place." As for my mother, I'll let someone find out what she means first. ”
Shen Rouning had no objection.
While the two were talking, it was dusk.
The sky gave birth to a cluster of gorgeous fiery clouds, like galloping horses like tigers and wolves, with thousands of momentum, magnificent and abnormal. The two of them couldn't help but stand up, side by side and quietly watched as the ever-changing colors slowly faded and the sky darkened.
In the distance, a maid was carefully lighting the wind lantern under the porch. He seemed to be hesitating to disturb the two of them, and wanted to light a few lamps under the corridor where they were located, but he was afraid of alarming them.
Chen Houyun and Shen Rou looked at each other and smiled.
Under the dim light, Chen Houyun held Shen Rouning's hand.
Shen Rouning's heart trembled, but she didn't struggle.
Chen Houyun smiled a little and said in a low voice: "Ah Ning, let's go into the house." I'm hungry too. ”
Their dinner was not even used.
I don't know if Chen Chengfang didn't wake up, or was stopped by Mrs. Chen, and didn't come to them.
"After dinner, let's go see my mother and Chengfang. Don't let him sleep restlessly. Shen Rouning said softly.
Chen Houyun shook his head: "Ah Ning, you don't have to be too thoughtful...... We're not going anywhere today......" He leaned closer to Shen Rouning's ear and whispered, "I think you're thinking a lot." ”
The scorching breath made her body soften, and her inner mood couldn't help but gush with heat, and sweat immediately appeared in her palms.
But she shook her head: "Let's go say hello." ”
Since Mrs. Chen is just having a mustard for her, if she is more willful, the mustard will get bigger and bigger, and I don't know how much more effort it will take to dissolve. It's better to be cautious now. (To be continued.) )
