On a rare cool summer night, An Qiyu lay on the bed, listening to the wind and rain outside next to the yellow oil lamp, and the snoring sound of Ah Xiang who had already slept on the side shook the sky, which was really comparable to the thunder outside.

One turned over and turned out a small cloth bag from the mat under him, on which was repaired a delicate blessing character, and took out a small notebook and some silver dollars, a silver chain, and many trivial and broken things.

The small book is sewn with threads, it is very rough, the words inside are Juanxiu, at first glance it is a woman's handwriting, and finally put down two words - such as jade.

Qiu Ruyu is her mother.

When she passed away the year before last, she found this hand-sewn small book under her pillow, on which a lot of words were written, painted and drawn, and the only thing that could be understood was four words: The Fang family deceived me.

But which Fang family is it? What kind of grievances do you have with the Fang family?

An Qiyu didn't know anything.

At that time, the two of them had been living in the widowed aunt's house in Xianqiao Town, fortunately, the aunt's family was very good to them and their mothers, and even their cousins took care of themselves, and even said that they were close to each other.

But since my mother died of a serious illness, and my cousin left home to go to school, I couldn't say anything about eating at my aunt's house anymore.

Unexpectedly, when I was packing up my mother's old things, I saw this booklet.

asked her aunt about her past with her mother, and then she learned that her surname was An, and An Jinying, a pharmacy in Beiping'an, was her father, and she was a widow.

The An family committed an accident in Beiping, and the mother was sent out in advance because she was pregnant, so she went to Xianqiao Town to get her name full.

At that time, my aunt once said: "The women of the Qiu family don't know what's wrong, your mother and I really didn't make a sister in vain, and the husband took his own step first." Is it really hard, Kefu? ”

"Auntie, don't say that, you still have ours, life and death are in heaven, and they have nothing to do with others." An Qiyu persuaded her aunt in this way, but she also knew that her aunt guarded the three tiled houses and seven or eight acres of land after her uncle's death, and she had to face the coercion and temptation of relatives in the clan.

Fortunately, my aunt has always been a strong and determined person, no matter what others do to her, she never gives in, and the orphans and widows support the Xiao family's meager inheritance.

If nothing else, just for the children to have a book, to be able to eat, and to wear warm clothes.

Because of the problem in the confinement during childbirth, the mother couldn't do heavy work, but fortunately, she had embroidery skills and could sell embroidery to help weigh it.

On weekdays, the clothes and fabrics at home are also sewn by Qiu Ruyu alone, and An Qiyu and her cousin's clothes have also been settled, so they don't need to buy them, and they can have a lot of expenses left.

After all, when children grow their bodies, their clothes will always get smaller.

Qiu Ruyu is ingenious, and she can always change her cousin's clothes to something that An Qiyu can wear. Boys are naughty, one here is open, one side is open, and there is a gap, it is inevitable, Qiu Ruyu sewed some tiger heads and leaves with needles and threads, which are not only beautiful but also cover up.

When it was An Qiyu's turn to use old clothes, he changed his skirt with pants, or sewed a lace or embroidered a butterfly, and An Qiyu wore it the same as new.

Two women and two children support each other in this family, living a hard but satisfying life.

Only Qiu Ruyu's illness is getting worse year by year, and it is even harder in winter, and she coughs up blood for a few hours and nights, no matter how many medicines she uses, there is no improvement.

Qiu Ruyu herself smiled: "I am sick like this, and no one will believe me if I say that I have opened a pharmacy at home." ”

"Doctors don't heal themselves, don't you understand this truth? I opened a pharmacy, but I just grabbed medicine, and I didn't see a doctor. The aunt looked at her haggard appearance, urging her to drink the medicine quickly, and comforting and enlightening her.

Qiu Ruyu was very obedient and drank all the medicine in the bowl, the bitter taste filled her mouth, and the bowls and bowls of bitter medicine could not become life-saving medicine for a long time, and could only be an excuse for psychological comfort. Others don't know about her illness, but she herself understands it very well, and she has to breathe these days.

It's a pity that Qi Yu is still young and has not yet married, so he can't rest assured.

"Pray for rain is not an outsider, you can also relax, I think Dong'er should know that it hurts people when he is older. If you don't have other ideas, I want to call the shots, just the two of them, cousins are close in one place. In this way, my aunt and Qiu Ruyu verbally decided on the marriage between the two.

An Qiyu listened outside the door, but he always felt that this matter was the same as talking about others, and it seemed to have nothing to do with him. Dong'er's cousin went to Nanjing to study the year before last, but he felt that the two of them were always simple brother and sister friendship, and when they didn't blush when they spoke, such two people got married like this, which really didn't feel new.

Fortunately, Dong'er's cousin didn't come back, otherwise the two would have gotten married like this, which would have been very boring.

Later, Qiu Ruyu passed away, and An prayed for rain and wore filial piety for three days, and accidentally saw this booklet, and asked some things when chatting with his aunt.

Aunt also avoided the important and chatted casually, An Qiyu understood the truth and listened quietly by herself, picking out some places that she felt was strange, pondering back and forth, and finally felt that this Fang family should be the Fang family in Shanghai.

In particular, my aunt said such a sentence, "Pity your mother's miserable life, and pity your father's many disasters, how can you spread the future daughter-in-law of the family, after all, we can't afford to provoke a big family, but fortunately, things have passed!" ”

An Qiyu pondered for a moment, the daughter-in-law of the Fang family, the daughter-in-law who had not yet passed the door......

When I was in Beiping, the matter of the An family was not small, even after so many years, you can know the situation at that time with a little inquiry.

It turned out that this Fang family was the Shanghai family, and the Fang family, who moved to Shanghai from Beiping, what kind of thing did it be, which eventually led to his father being imprisoned and the An family being ruined.

I only want to be a peaceful embroiderer, but I can't let go of this knot in my heart, so why not find out by myself.

In the future, I can rest assured, although I and my father have never been masked, but my mother's Qiu Ruyu is so virtuous and graceful, I believe that my father will naturally not be a heinous person, besides, the An family and the Fang family have not had a holiday, how can they take the wrong medicine and harm people's lives?

Besides, that Bai Luozhen, what kind of grudge does the An family have against her? A young lady from a big family who is raised in the boudoir, what reason does the An family have to harm her?

There are intricate relationships in this, and I am really curious and confused.

Since I was a child, I have never been willful, this time I will go to Shanghai to find out what kind of entanglement this Fang family has with them.

Suddenly, there was a thunderous explosion, An Qiyu was so shocked, he had been in Fang's house for more than half a year, how did he gradually get used to the identity of the maid, he was so tired in the courtyard of this Fang family that he couldn't lift his legs every day, so he had time to investigate the case.

turned over, An Qiyu was blocked by the thunder, but he was still shocked and frowned, he was really convinced that Ah Xiang could sleep so heartlessly. Some people are more tired and sleep more deeply, she has something on her mind, and there are really not many good times to sleep. From this point of view, I should still make this matter clear, so that I can feel comfortable. Not for anything else, just for a good night's sleep......
