In 1037, in Meishan, Sichuan, a dark and windy night, a boy fell to the ground, and Yu Longming, a small rich man who had lost power in his forties, had a smile on his face, he studied hard all his life to gain fame, as a confident scholar who was full of learning, he did not get his wish in his life, and now he is not even a showman. Hearing that his second wife had added another boy to him, he was extremely excited, because he read a lot and drank a lot, and none of the previous children could inherit his own reading material, he wanted to start from the current boy, so that he could absorb, carry forward, and magnify his down-and-out court.

He gave his third son the name of Qizi, which means that everything is reopened, sitting in the courtyard, looking at the starlight of the day, a strong light emerges from the depths of his heart, and the hope of this life is in the house. When Yu Qi was full moon, Yu Longming ignored his family's current financial situation and set up many tables of banquets, and after many local celebrities came, they looked at Xiao Yu Qi and muttered to each other: "Maybe it's the same as his two brothers, they are all harmful to the cup and can't make a big deal." Of course, their shaking shook their heads avoided Yu Longming's eyes, and some exchanged in a vulgar voice: "Even if it is the same as Lao Yu, he is not a showman and has not been admitted, and he can only pad the old house with a belly of knowledge, but it is a pity that a good family is ruined in his hands." ”

After a few glasses of wine, Yu Longming cleared his throat and said, "Folks, today is my Qi'er full moon wine, everyone drink well." My first two sons were slow in their minds because of my drunkenness, and sometimes hurt the property of their neighbors, and I am here to make amends to you. He looked at Xiao Yu Qi, who was obviously more elf-eyed than his two elder brothers, and whispered to the second lady Miao who was sitting on the side: "Thank you, madam, you take him back, don't be frightened." ”

Because he has been unwilling and drank too much wine, Yu Longming actually fell ill all of a sudden, and his eldest wife had opinions about his pampering of Mrs. Miao, but now seeing that he is not lightly ill, his family has already fallen into the middle, so he is reluctant to ask for medical treatment. Mrs. Miao took Yu Qi and was unable to take care of her husband, so Yu Longming actually left his wife and weak son and returned to the West. After the funeral of Yu Longming, Mrs. Cai insisted on scolding Mrs. Miao for being a nemesis, it was she who hollowed out her otherwise healthy master after she entered the door, and it was the disaster brought by Yu Qi's arrival to her family, Mrs. Miao only fed the child and did not dare to say anything.

After Yu Longming's fifth and seventh days, Mrs. Cai found Mrs. Miao and said: "You have also seen it at home, there is nothing left, you have a son, I have two, find someone to divide the family." You are still young, you can find another person to live, I will be like this, no one will want it, I will guard the old man's home. Mrs. Miao said: "A good girl doesn't marry a second husband, I won't go anywhere, tell me when the master leaves, you must take Yu Qi with you, I want him to see Yu Qi's tomorrow, I can't leave the master's sight." Mrs. Cai didn't want to give her much property, but after hearing her say this, she didn't say anything.

A few days later, there was a light rain in the sky, Mrs. Cai found Mrs. Miao and said: "Today I will accompany my sister to drink some wine and go to the cold, after the master left, our family has not been angry, life must go on, after today, I will cheer up and support the family, so that Yu Qi will have no worries about the entrance examination in the future." ”

Mrs. Miao was very moved, she said: "The little guy is still eating, I won't drink, you drink." Mrs. Cai said, "If you don't drink, I won't prepare, and I don't want to give him wine to drink, and if you drink too much, you will make trouble." Mrs. Miao didn't want to ruin her fun, she rarely spoke so politely, she only had to drink with her and her two sons, no matter how Mrs. Miao controlled it, she still couldn't withstand Mrs. Cai's persuasion, plus the entanglement of her two sons, Mrs. Miao still told her subordinates to take her children before drinking too much.

When Mrs. Miao woke up from the cries of the child, she found that she was not wearing much clothes, and Mrs. Cai's two sons were smirking in front of her bed, and she looked at their bodies and her own bed, and understood. She cried and went to Mrs. Cai's room, Mrs. Cai was sleeping, she said: "You know their situation, and I can't control it, you still come to me after doing such a thing?" Aren't you not leaving? Just teach them, I thought they wouldn't, can this really be self-taught? You can't be the one who seduced you, right? ”

Mrs. Miao had nothing to say, she really wanted to die, but thinking of her only hope, she wiped her tears and said: "Then we will divide the family, I will not live here, divide the family's property into three, and I will take one out to live." ”

Mrs. Cai said: "You used to be okay, but now you have done such a sorry thing for the master, and you still have the face to divide the property?" We invite the clansmen to evaluate the theory, although they are older than you, but you are an elder, if the master is still doing what you are doing now, will you be thrown into the well? Anyway, we are also sisters, we don't want to publicize the ugliness of the family, the two brothers are not sensible, if they pick up a bargain from you, they will be frequent in the future. With your current conditions, after giving your child to a reliable home, you can find a good family in a farther place. ”

Mrs. Miao knows that this is all her plan, but she is now alone and has no ability to resist, if she doesn't leave, what she says will be reality immediately, and she will become a free wind and moon field for Mrs. Cai's two stunned sons. If you find a clansman to judge now, you have been here for a short time, and this matter is really unspeakable, if you really say it, it will be your own or not.

Mrs. Cai didn't give her some entanglement because she had no place to stand now, and really let her go out with some simple clothes. Mrs. Miao returned to her mother's house, she thought she could have a place to stay, but she didn't expect that her brothers were angry bags, because of her arrival they quarreled with her sisters-in-law, she had no parents, although her brother wanted to stay, she still chose to leave home.

The snow is not thick, but it is a weak woman for her, and the cold air from the bottom of her heart makes her tremble. She didn't know where to go, the wind in the mountains couldn't find a place to avoid the cold, bursts of snow flakes made her think of the end of her life, Yu Qi's curious, not knowing the fear at all, made her can't bear to give him up, her tearful eyes did not exchange for God's sympathy, the snow, it was still heavy.

There are no Taoist priests on the road, let alone immortals, Mrs. Miao expected the result of going on like this, she was unwilling, and what she had in her arms was the hope of her man, the continuation of her own life. She turned around and returned to a village not far from her mother's house, where she knocked on a house, a hunter in his thirties. Seeing the person, the last bit of strength that supported her disappeared, and she collapsed by the other party's door.

This man's name is Niu Lixin, he makes a living by collecting firewood, and there is an old hunter lying on the bed, who is his father, and the father and son depend on each other. When he saw a young woman standing at his door with a child in her arms, he just wanted to ask, but she had not woken up.

There is only one kang at home, when he put Mrs. Miao next to his father, the child began to cry, Niu Lixin has never encountered this situation, he can't coax the child, and his father can't move, at this time, Mrs. Miao is angry.

After Niu Lixin burned a bowl of ginger soup to help her feed it, he gave the child a few sips, and then he began to cook, and his father said slowly: "I don't object to you bringing people home, but in this weather, we don't have much to eat at home, and you can't go into the mountains, don't hurt other people's lives, let her go to other homes, right?" Zhuangshan has a bit more spacious than us. ”

Niu Lixin said: "I didn't bring them here, they fell at the door of my house, she can't go, wait for her to wake up, don't blame us if she can't wake up, this weather, I eat less, drink a few sips of wine, I will go to the back mountain to see, maybe I can call some food." ”

After a bowl of ginger soup went down, it may be that she was worried about the child in her heart, Mrs. Miao woke up, she got up to look at her clothes, and then looked at the child who had slept and kowtowed to Daddy Niu. Niu Lixin said: "You are weak, don't be polite, where is your home?" I'll send you back, our house is not easy to live in, and we don't have much to eat. ”

Mrs. Miao's tears fell, she said: "I don't have a home, it's hard to say a word, I will tell you slowly in the future, I eat less, and I will leave when the sky is over, and it will not affect you." Looking at his Chu Chu appearance, Niu Lixin said, "You didn't sneak out, did you?" We are a small family, look at your clothes are not people who can't eat, you fell at our door by yourself, don't hurt our duty, if your master comes to you, you have to tell the truth. ”

Mrs. Miao said: "My master died, I came out again because my mother's family didn't want it, and I would collect medicine, collect firewood, and hunt before I got married." If you let our mother and mother live in peace, you will be the rebirth parents of my child, I will not be able to repay such a great kindness, and I will tell him when the child is older. Then, Mrs. Miao told her what had happened to her, of course, ignoring the harm that the eldest lady's two sons had committed against her.

Niu Lixin now looks at Mrs. Miao, not only is she beautiful, but also because she came out of the hands of death, the kind of weak dynamic makes the man's desire to protect greatly. He looked at his father on the kang and said, "Dad, let them have a break in our house, right?" If she goes out, with her current body bones, there is only one way to die, which is two lives! I'll go out right away to find something to eat, and I should have good luck with this weather. ”

His father said, "It's getting late, let's talk about it tomorrow." He looked at Miaofu, and then looked at his son, the conditions of their family, not to mention marrying a woman like Mrs. Miao, even if you look at it, there are not too many opportunities. If Mrs. Miao and the child can stay, then their Niu family will not be extinct in his generation, this is his heart disease, he said: "This eldest sister, you are not very old, my son is only in his twenties, we are a single family here, and Zhuangzi is far away from our family." If you can stay and never leave, Xiao Lixin will definitely treat the child as his own, you are together, life will be much more convenient, and I can also look at it. Mrs. Miao listened to his words, and then thought of the eldest lady's two hideous sons, and she shook her head.
