Chapter 2: The Scourge of Prison
"Even if I go out, what's the point of me living, I've worked hard all my life, but in the end I'm watching my son's head in a different place, and the white-haired person sends the black-haired person! What kind of face do I have to meet my dead husband and the ancestors of the Lu family, it is better to go with Hai'er and Jiang'er. Old Madam Lu listened to Yao's words, but she was still indifferent, and said in despair.
"Auntie, don't say that, isn't there still Cang'er, our Lu family is not the last one, you have to live well for Cang'er!" Yao's eyes were red, and he suppressed his feelings and persuaded the old lady, thinking of his eldest son who died tragically and his younger son who was on the run, and couldn't help but feel sad.
"Mother, what my sister-in-law said is right, it's better to die than to live, don't think about it." Li is the daughter of a military general, her father and brother are in the field of martial arts, she herself has a cool personality, no scheming, married to the Lu family for 22 years, only gave birth to two daughters, one is nine years old, one is five years old, even if her husband's tragic death makes her grief-stricken, but for the sake of her young daughter she still gritted her teeth and held on, although the old lady Lu does not treat her very much on weekdays, but now at this time, she is still very considerate of the old lady.
Mrs. Lu looked at her two daughters-in-law with tears, sighed silently, and said in a low voice: "It's hard for the two of you, I still think about me as an old woman, if Hai'er Jiang'er is still there......" The words were only halfway through the words and they couldn't go on, Yao and Li couldn't help but sobbed when they heard the old lady mention their husband, and hugged their twelve-year-old daughter Lu Qianchen, this little girl who only knew how to cry since the beginning, her eyes were already red, and her little face was dirty and couldn't see her original appearance.
Lu Lingshu and Lu Lingjing, who were beside the Li family, were already tired, and fell asleep leaning on their mothers left and right. There are two beautiful women sitting not far from them, namely Lu Erye's two concubines, Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhao, the Lu family is rigorous, men generally only accept concubines after thirty and have no children, Lu Erye Lu Chengjiang married the Li family at the age of eighteen, and only got two daughters in ten years, Mrs. Lu only carried him two concubines, but unfortunately the son born by Aunt Chen was not over one year old, the Lu family encountered this catastrophe, the child naturally did not survive, Aunt Chen experienced the tragic death of her son, and became muddy, her eyes were blank, It seemed that she was a little crazy, and Aunt Zhao desperately shrunk her body into a ball, burying her face in the crook of her arm, and only the constantly shaking shoulders could tell that she was crying.
Lu Yanwan sat in the farthest corner from everyone, calmly and numbly looked at the few people opposite, speaking of which her identity is still a little unbearable, it is her father, the uncle of the Lu family, Lu Chenghai's drunken disorderly nature, the Lu family has no children to take concubines, then the Yao family gave birth to two sons in less than three years after entering the door, Lu Chenghai naturally will not take concubines, but he can't stand the maid next to him whose heart is higher than the sky, Lu Chengwan's biological mother is the maid whose heart is higher than the sky, and she climbed into his bed while Lu Chenghai was drunk, and she really got pregnant with shit luck, But this calculation of his master naturally made Lu Chenghai and Yao's furious, and they were originally going to directly fill the medicine and sell it, but Mrs. Lu couldn't bear the piece of meat in her stomach after all, so she wanted to wait for her to give birth to the child and then sell her, but Lu Yanwan's biological mother was really not very lucky, she had a difficult birth when she gave birth, and after giving birth for a day and a night, she finally gave birth to the child, and died of blood.
Lu Xianwan has such a mother, which naturally makes the Yao family hate her, and Lu Chenghai also doesn't want to see her, her situation in the Lu Mansion can be imagined, the maid who has a little face doesn't take her as the master in her eyes, and she developed a cowardly and timid temperament when she was a child, and then stayed in the teaching workshop for a few years, and her courage gradually grew.
Lu Yan recalled that she was at this time in her previous life, and she seemed to be shrinking in the corner, only knowing that she kept crying, at that time she still had a little extravagant hope in her heart, Mrs. Lu would redeem herself together, after all, no matter how much she didn't want to see herself in the past, but she was also her granddaughter, the blood of the Lu family, she would never see herself fall into the dust, but unfortunately, God never favored her, and her so-called hope was just a dream bubble.
Lu Yanwan's eyes were deep, and she raised her head slightly, as if she was looking at the small iron window above her head in a daze, the sky outside was already dark, and the rain was still dripping down, making the already cold cell even more cold to the bone, a drop of rain drifted into the cell, wetting Lu Yanwan's eyebrows, but the corners of her mouth were filled with a strange smile, she knew that there would be a catastrophe in the cell next, this time, who would die?
"It's time to eat!" There was an impatient shout from outside the cell, and two young jailers each carried two large wooden barrels in their hands, and swaggered over, one of which contained wild vegetable porridge, and the other wooden barrel with black and hard steamed buns, and each cell could be divided into a bucket of porridge and a bucket of steamed buns, although the coarsest of cheap foods, but they could also make people satisfied.
The jailer opened and locked the cell, and the ladies immediately shrank back like frightened beasts, and the jailer did not talk any more, put down the two wooden barrels, and threw a stack of notches, and the dirty black stoneware bowls on the straw floor suddenly made a loud "clang" sound, which frightened the ladies to turn pale.
Fortunately, the jailer didn't stay long and left quickly, and the ladies of the Lu family were able to breathe a sigh of relief, but they were not interested in the food in the two wooden barrels.
But the ladies of the Shi family opposite the Lu family did not dislike it at all, and several women who looked like masters quickly took bowls, filled porridge and steamed buns, leaned against the blackened walls of the cell and ate slowly.
Yao's brows furrowed more and more, she hadn't eaten anything since the morning, she had been tossing for a day, it was impossible not to be hungry, but how could she eat the ground with such dirty food in front of her, she could only try to endure it and not think about it.
Li Shi was not as inkblot as Yao's, he stood up quickly, picked up the pottery bowl, filled two bowls of porridge, and took two steamed buns, then returned to Mrs. Lu and said: "Mother, you haven't eaten for a day, although the things are a little worse, but you should eat a little, otherwise I am afraid that my body will not be able to stand it." ”
Although Mrs. Lu was also extremely hungry, she really couldn't swallow this kind of food, so she waved her hand weakly and said, "I can't eat it, you can eat it......"
Li wanted to persuade again, but Yao said with a contemptuous face, "Sister, you are too hungry to eat, you can eat this kind of thing, I don't know if there will be anything wrong with eating it, I would rather starve to death, and I will never eat this kind of thing that pigs and dogs don't eat!" ”
