Volume 1 Chapter 31 Old Man Qian died of illness
Tianxi returned home with the osmanthus cake made by Sister-in-law Zhang, and Feng Ying greeted her and asked, "How is it?" Have you met Tianhui? Is she okay? I should have gone with you to see her. Tianxi looked at Feng Ying and said, "Didn't you go to see her?" Still going? Feng Ying smiled embarrassedly and said, "Tianhui told you?" I'm so worried about her that I didn't tell you I ran to see her, aren't you angry? Tianxi patted Feng Ying's head and said, "How can I be angry after marrying such a good wife, I'm not in a hurry to be happy!" After speaking, he handed the osmanthus cake to Feng Ying and said, "This is taken back from Tianhui, you and the child can taste it." ”
Feng Ying said happily: "Thinking that I haven't eaten osmanthus cake for a long time, after speaking, I picked up a piece and tasted it and said, "It's so delicious, I don't want you to taste it too." After that, he handed Tianxi a piece, Tianxi tasted it, and suddenly his eyes were a little moist, Feng Ying hurriedly asked Tianxi: "What's wrong, isn't it delicious?" Tianxi shook his head and said: "It's so delicious, it tastes exactly the same as the osmanthus cake made by my mother, it's been more than 20 years, I didn't expect to be able to eat this taste." Feng Ying asked Tianxi: "What's wrong?" Do you remember your mother? ”
Tianxi nodded and said: "Well, when I eat this, I suddenly remembered my mother, when I was a child, my mother often made it for us to eat, at that time, my father came back to eat with us after finishing the village at noon, our family was really happy, and then I don't know what happened, my mother suddenly went crazy, and then fell off the cliff, my father looked for a few days and did not find her body, and the people in the village said that it must have been eaten by a wild wolf." ”
Feng Ying comforted Tianxi and said, "Don't think about those things, your father and mother must be reunited in heaven, and they don't want you to be unhappy, right?" Tianxi nodded in disappointment and said, "Yes, my father must be watching us from the sky?" We must live well, they will rest assured, Feng Ying, I sometimes feel sorry for Tianhui, leave her there alone, I am such a sister, now she is like a widow, nominally she is still Qian Duoyu's wife, and she can't get married, is it difficult for us to watch her die alone and alone? ”
Feng Ying also sighed and said: "Yes, that Qian Duoyu doesn't come back to write a letter of resignation, Tianhui is like being tied up in the Qian family, and she can't marry someone else, Qian Duoyu's bad thing doesn't know where to go, and I don't know whether it's dead or alive, the world is so big, let's go there to find him." Tianxi nodded and said: "Now we can only hope that the bad guy can have news soon, whether it is dead or alive, there must be a saying, if he is alive, we will find a way to let him write a letter of resignation, so that Tianhui can marry someone else, if he dies, then we Tianhui can also remarry, the most afraid is that there is no one alive and no dead like now."
Feng Ying said angrily: "Qian Duoyu is really a harmful spirit, even if he lives, he can't die well, he has harmed Tianhui for a lifetime, and he has killed his father, I really want to pull out his skin and eat his flesh and not relieve my hatred." Tianxi patted Feng Ying's back and said, "Okay, don't be angry with your body, his kind of person has his own God to clean him up, haven't you heard the saying that bad people have bad people to grind?" Feng Ying nodded and said, "Okay, it's late, let's go to bed early!"
Mr. Qian's illness is getting worse and worse, the doctor is helpless, the eldest lady and the second wife wash their faces with tears all day long, this day Sister-in-law Zhang came to visit Mr. Qian in the courtyard, saying that the second young grandmother asked her to send some abalone porridge to replenish the body of Mr. Qian, the second wife said: "You have a heart, I still have something to do here, you go in and see the master yourself." Sister-in-law Zhang nodded, and went into the inner room to see Master Qian. Sister-in-law Zhang walked up to Mr. Qian's side and pushed him and asked, "Master, do you still know me?"
Master Qian opened his eyes and coughed a few times and said, "Sister-in-law Zhang, did Tianhui ask you to come?" Sister-in-law Zhang stood there and looked at Master Qian and said, "Are you taking a closer look at who I am?" Master Qian shook his head and said, "I don't remember." After speaking, she coughed again, Sister-in-law Zhang looked at Master Qian and said: "Qian Cigui didn't expect you to have today, you take a good look at me, I am Fen Sui, Fen Sui who was insulted and driven crazy by you, more than 20 years, you have forgotten me, but I will not forget you until I die, you killed my family, and Gu Guang was also killed, and now you are finally going to get retribution." ”
Master Qian's eyes widened, and he asked in a weak voice, "Are you really Fensui?" You're still alive, aren't you crazy? I heard that you fell off a cliff and died? Sister-in-law Zhang said excitedly: "You are looking forward to my death, are you disappointed that I am still alive?" I really don't know what kind of evil fate I have, you have harmed my life, and now your son has harmed my daughter for the rest of my life. Master Qian sighed and said: "I'm sorry Fensui, when I was young, I was really with you, but unfortunately we had no fate, and then I did something that I shouldn't have done to you, I have always regretted it, but there is no regret medicine in the world, if there is an afterlife, I will be a cow and a horse to pay off your debts." ”
Sister-in-law Zhang wiped her tears and said, "No matter what hatred you have, it's all over in this life, I don't want to see you again in the next life." After speaking, he limped away, Mr. Qian couldn't believe that Sister-in-law Zhang was Tianhui's mother-in-law, he remembered all the previous things and felt a little guilty, he called Mrs. Qian in, and Mrs. Qian said: "Madam, I don't have much time, I have really enjoyed that blessing in my life, and I have also made sins, and now I am about to leave, but I am relaxed, and I have no worries." After I die, if Duoyu comes back, you tell him that the last words I left behind are to ask him to write a letter of resignation to Tianhui, and they will marry each other without interfering in the future.
Mrs. Qian took Mr. Qian's hand and cried and said, "Master, what nonsense are you talking about?" You have to take care of your illness! Master Qian shook his head and said: "I know my own body, you don't have to comfort me, it's just that I haven't been with you well in my life, and I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you in the future, madam, you have to take care of yourself, your children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and you don't have to worry about them." Mrs. Qian cried and nodded, and said, "Master, I know, don't talk too much, I'll go and call Duojin Duoshu and Baolan to come back to see you now, you wait a little longer."
Master Qian shook his head, his voice became weaker, he swallowed his saliva and said, "No need, don't be in a hurry, you let them live well and support each other." As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Qian choked his breath, Mrs. Qian cried to death, and the second wife ran in when she heard the crying and saw that Mr. Qian was no longer breathing, and she also cried heartbreakingly. The maid at home hurried to inform Qian Duojin and Qian Duoshu of them, as soon as Qian Duojin heard that his father was dead, he hurriedly went to call Wang Shanlian and the two of them hurried to the other courtyard, Duoshu Baolan and Tianhui also rushed over, and the other courtyard cried for a while.
In the past few days, everyone has buried Master Qian well, Mrs. Qian was so sad that she fainted several times, and she lost a lot of weight, so everyone returned to the other courtyard and packed up Master Qian's relics. Mrs. Qian sighed and said, "Since the day of the separation, I haven't seen the people of the Qian family gather so together for a long time, but it's a pity that the master is missing." As he spoke, he began to shed tears again. The second wife hurriedly comforted her, and Mrs. Qian relieved herself and said, "When the master was dying, he said that you brothers should support each other. Duoshu walked up to Mrs. Qian and said, "Auntie, don't worry, we will." ”
Tianhui asked Mrs. Qian: "Mother, what are your plans in the future?" Qian Duojin said angrily: "What are the plans, of course it is to go back to the mansion with us." Wang Shanlian also hurriedly said: "Yes, what Niang Duojin said is right, you can go back to the mansion with us!" Mrs. Qian shook her head and said, "I have already agreed with the nunnery, and I will move in a few days." Wang Shanlian said with displeasure on her face: "Mother, aren't you still angry with me?" Then I'm here to accompany you, you also know that I have always been a mouthful, don't go to your heart. Mrs. Qian shook her head and said: "I have nothing to do with you when I go to the nunnery, I want to go by myself, since your father left, I have looked down on everything, I really want to live the kind of life with the ancient Buddha of the green lantern, you also know that I have always believed in the Buddha." The second wife asked sadly: "Eldest sister, can you not go, if you don't want to go back to the mansion, stay in the courtyard with me, and the master will leave this courtyard for me, and we sisters will live together in the future."
Mrs. Qian smiled and said, "Thank you sister, don't be sad, it's not like we won't see each other in the future, the nunnery is not far from here, you can go and talk to me when you have time." The second lady nodded with tears in her eyes. Wang Shanlian said to Mrs. Qian: "Mother, since you insist on going, then you will go to live for a while, and when you want to come back, I will ask Duojin to pick you up over there." Mrs. Qian nodded and said to Wang Shanlian: "Okay, don't worry about me, you take care of Fan'er." ”
On the way back from the other courtyard, Duoshu sighed with emotion: "In the past, a large family was lively, but now my father has passed away, my eldest mother is also going to become a monk, and my second brother doesn't know where to go, even poor Wanwan is gone, a family has become scattered, and it is really not a taste in my heart to think about it." Bao Lan sighed and said, "Although everyone lived together in the past, they each had ghosts, so it was better for everyone to be comfortable without continuing to pretend like now." ”
Tianhui looked at their brother and sister and asked, "Now that my mother is going to the nunnery, what should I do with my second mother?" Now that she's the only one left in the courtyard, why don't you move to the courtyard to live with her or take her to live with you?" Bao Lan said: "Although she is our own mother, she has never taken care of us since she was a child, and I really can't stand letting me live with her." Duoshu said: "Alas, let's do this for now, let's talk about it later if we can't live together, I guess she will feel uncomfortable living with us." Tianhui nodded and said: "After my father died, I felt that the Qian family was really scattered, and thinking back on my life in the Qian family in the past few years, it was really like a dream." The three of them did not speak, and went home with their own thoughts.
After going back, Sister-in-law Zhang looked at Tianhui's tired appearance, quickly brought her a cup of ginseng tea, and then said to Tianhui: "Tianhui, in fact, it doesn't matter if you don't send the money, anyway, their surname Qian has nothing to do with you." Tianhui smiled and said: "Even if I have more than I have for the Qian family, I still have to send Master Qian, after all, I am the daughter-in-law of the Qian family, no matter what, I have to do my duty." Sister-in-law Zhang said indignantly: "A bad person like him is not worthy of you to send him at all." ”
