Chapter 142: Looking Back
Liang Xingfa asked Zhou Zixiang: "How did your husband die?" ”
Zhou Zixiang said: "She was poisoned to death. ”
Liang Xingfa asked again: "Why is it poisoned?" ”
Zhou Zixiang said: "I don't know either. Everyone said that it should have been poisoned by someone else.
Liang Xingfa asked Zhou Zixiang again: "Did your husband have a grudge against others before his death?" ”
Zhou Zixiang said: "My husband is honest and laughs all day long, how can he have enmity with others." ”
Liang Xingfa asked Zhou Zixiang again: "So does your husband have a habit of testing drugs?" ”
Zhou Zixiang said: "No. My husband is a woodcutter and he doesn't eat herbs. ”
Liang Xingfa asked Zhou Zixiang to tell her story from beginning to end. So, Zhou Zixiang talked eloquently about her married life.
Zhou Zixiang's maiden family is in the county seat of Qinggu County, and her family background is not bad. Because she is only a daughter, she can also study for a few years, and she can be called a woman who knows how to learn. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and when she was twenty years old, her parents died one after another.
Her father was reluctant to die for a long time when he was dying. Because he has never been relieved of his daughter, how can he leave with confidence until he can't find a man who can be entrusted with his life. He kept saying in his heart: "God, please give my daughter a strong man." ”
Perhaps he was thinking too hard, but God arranged for a sturdy man to come to his house. The man was a woodcutter, and he was in his early forties, with a round head and a round face, and a very funny appearance. But at first glance, I also know that he is an honest man. The reason why he came to Zhou Zixiang's house was because he often provided firewood to her house.
On the day when Zhou Zixiang's father was about to die, the woodcutter picked a load of firewood and came to her house, but he was hit by the old and dizzy Zixiang father. Lying on his hospital bed, he asked the woodcutter if he would marry his daughter.
The honest woodcutter glanced at Zhou Zixiang, who was standing next to him as bright as a peach blossom, and seemed to have a flower growing in his heart, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he also said to Zixiang's father honestly: "I am willing." ”
But Zhou Zixiang was unwilling. It's just that she was embarrassed to say that she didn't want to be in front of the woodcutter, but said softly to her father: "Daddy, it's better to think about it more." ”
However, her father did not consider her words, but considered whether the woodcutter was willing to take care of his daughter sincerely for the rest of his life, whether rich or poor, rich or poor, good or bad, and never leave him.
When his father asked the woodcutter like this, the woodcutter replied honestly, "I do." ”
Immediately afterwards, Zixiang's father asked the woodcutter if he would like to find a matchmaker to propose marriage? The woodcutter replied honestly, "I do." ”
Then, Zixiang's father asked the woodcutter to go next door to find a professional matchmaker, Wang Erpo. After the woodcutter left, Zhou Zixiang said to her father, "Daddy." Why did you just marry me to an old and ugly man? ”
Her father said to her, "It's because of such a man that he will be obedient to you." I'll be relieved to hand you over to him. If you don't, I'll die. ”
Zhou Zixiang is a very filial girl, so in order to let her father close his eyes, she had to tearfully agree. Her father's hanging heart was let go forever, and he left this world forever.
So, the woodcutter said like this, I am willing to marry Zhou Zixiang back under the witness of Wang Erpo. Of course, the woodcutter sold Zixiang's father's house and took Zhou Zixiang back to his hometown to live after burying Zixiang's father.
The woodcutter's name is Liu Dachai, because his father also collected firewood during his lifetime, so he called him to collect firewood from local materials. Liu Dachai and her mother, Zhao, depend on each other in the countryside. The houses in the countryside are also spacious. Although Liu Dachai doesn't have much money, he can also arrange the wedding room in a decent way.
Since Liu Dachai married a beautiful wife, his whole person has radiated the brilliance of youth, smiling all day long, and people who don't know think that he has picked up gold every day.
Liu Dachai was smiling, but his wife Zhao was sad all day long. Because she just didn't want to believe that the young and beautiful Zhou Zixiang was willing to follow her stupid son to live her life. This is one of them, and the other is that the Zhao family always feels that his son forgets his mother when he has a daughter-in-law. Originally, she and her son usually talked and laughed, but after her son got married, he never talked to her, which made her already lonely heart even more empty.
Zhao blamed all her unhappiness on her new daughter-in-law Zhou Zixiang, and in the two months they lived together, she never gave Zhou Zixiang a good look. Although Zhou Zixiang is very virtuous, every day when Liu fetches firewood and goes out to chop wood, Zhou Zixiang will prepare a pot of water for her husband, and send her husband to the door, and do not forget to tell her husband to pay attention to safety. Concentrate on chopping wood, don't poke the hornet's nest, be careful when walking, don't slip. Chopping wood does not have to be cut much and come back early.
Liu Dachai also said to Zhou Zixiang affectionately: "Don't worry, I won't joke with my life." My wife is so beautiful and so virtuous, how can I be willing to die? After saying that, he asked Zhou Zixiang to go back to the house to rest, and he strode up the mountain by himself. And Zhou Zixiang will always silently watch his distant back and be reluctant to leave, after all, it is someone who wants to be with him forever.
Whenever his son went out to work, Zhao, who was already full of silver hair, was always very depressed, so he yelled at Zhou Zixiang to vent his anger.
As soon as Zhou Zixiang heard her mother-in-law's shout, she would hurry to the back room and ask if the Zhao family had called her?
And at this time, Zhao always said angrily: "There are only two people in this family, aren't you called a ghost?" ”
Zhou Zixiang said to Zhao: "You usually like to talk to yourself, so I don't have to ask who you are called." ”
Zhao felt that Zhou Zixiang's speech like this was purely backtalking, so he shouted at Zhou Zixiang: "What are you talking about, do you still have me as a mother-in-law in your eyes, do you want me to die quickly?" ”
Zhou Zixiang said to Zhao: "Oh, mother, where do you want to go, don't I pray to the gods every time I worship the gods to bless you with longevity than Nanshan Immortal Pine?" ”
Zhao still said angrily: "Hmph, your mouth is not right, who knows if you say this in your mouth, do you want me to die far away." ”
Zhou Zixiang stopped talking. Because she understands a truth, reasoning with unreasonable people is playing the piano to the cow, and the more she talks, the more chaotic it becomes.
When Zhao saw that Zhou Zixiang didn't speak, she thought that she had won, and said to Zhou Zixiang inch by inch: "Why do you always like to stand outside, don't you have to do any work at home, do you want to raise one more pig when we marry you, how can you live this life if you are so lazy." ”
Zhou Zixiang said unconvinced: "Isn't it me who gets up in the morning to cook?" ”
Zhao said angrily again: "Look at you, you just want to be angry with me, what kind of attitude do you have." Is it okay to cook rice, clothes don't need to be washed, and quilts don't need to be dried? ”
Zhou Zixiang said: "The sun is not out today, and it may rain in the afternoon, so the quilt is better in the room." ”
Zhao got angry again and yelled at Zhou Zixiang: "You think you are an immortal." You say it's raining, so why don't you go to heaven? ”
Zhou Zixiang was too lazy to pay attention to Zhao, so she could scold as much as she liked, anyway, just finish the work that should be done. (To be continued.) )
