Chapter 121: The Fish on the Brink
What is it like for a fish to leave the water and be on the verge of death, unable to breathe, quietly resigned to its destiny.
Chen Wen stood behind Xi Niang, his eyes were sad, and he didn't dare to look carefully at the people walking on the bed.
This little lady's name is Yu'er.
His eyes were all gray, his cheeks were sunken, and his skin was full of bones.
It wasn't until her mother held her hand that she rolled her eyes, and those eyes without light looked directly at Aunt Zhong.
"Mother."
The voice was so small that even if Chen Wen stood close, he couldn't hear it clearly.
The aunt's tears had already been wiped away, and she didn't dare to cry in front of her daughter, but she just turned around and pointed at Chen Wen and said, "Don't you want to make a wedding dress?" My mother found you an embroiderer. ”
Yu'er looked at Chen Wen at this time, Chen Wen gritted his teeth, smiled stiffly, and said to her: "This lady is good, my craftsmanship is certified by Xi Niang, the best in the village, I will make you one, you must be beautiful in it, how about it?" ”
"Okay, I want to look the best."
"Of course."
She didn't cough when she spoke, and her voice was very weak, and Chen Wen couldn't tell what was wrong with her. But life seems to be coming to an end, which is why this aunt is in such a hurry.
The mother and daughter were talking, and Xi Niang took Chen Wen's hand and took her out first.
The moment she stepped out of the door, Chen Wen looked back and met the eyes of the fish, her eyes lit up by the light outside the house.
Chen Wen felt that she was very sad, she didn't dare to look more, and quickly turned her head away.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
"Nothing."
She had already learned more about the way here just now, the aunt in it was surnamed Zhong, she was a widow at a young age, she only had one child, and her child was named her surname, and the two of them have depended on each other since then.
But the girl married a decent family, and thought that life was going to get better, but five months after Zhong Yu'er got married, her husband ran away with a beautiful woman.
Her husband's family felt that she couldn't keep her husband and couldn't give birth to a boy, so they drove her away.
There is not even a letter of resignation.
Zhong Yu'er is also a girl with a hard life, with the same fate as her mother, and she is even more pitiful than her mother. I couldn't think about it when I was young, I was depressed all day long, and finally my life was on the way.
If you want Chen Wen to say, Zhong Yu'er is also stupid, for the sake of a scumbag, why torture yourself and lose your life.
The last wish is actually to wear a wedding dress and marry her husband?
After all, it is the mother who loves her the most, not the man who was abducted by a beautiful woman.
But the twists and turns are not something she can understand, she can only say that the power of love can both warm and destroy a person.
"The Zhong family's aunt is also miserable." Xi Niang sighed and said to Chen Wen, "Thank you for taking over this mess." ”
"I have to do my best if it's within my ability, and I'm not an indifferent person."
After speaking, Chen Wen remembered that other embroiderers were reluctant to take it because of bad luck, and he was slightly stunned.
Oh...... She didn't say they were indifferent.
Xi Niang probably thought of it too, and couldn't help laughing.
"That Xi Niang, how can you pick up your aunt's ......?"
It stands to reason that the bride will feel more unlucky, she usually comes into contact with newcomers and does happy events.
And what Zhong Yu'er said is more ugly, that is, a dying person, a widow, who has no husband, but wants to dress and get married?
If you say it, it's a signboard job.
Xi Niang coughed, remembering what happened many years ago, and there was a sense of guilt in her heart, lingering for a long time, lingering.
"Zhong Yuer's marriage is also my fault."
"Huh?"
"Surprised, huh." Xi Niang smiled and glanced at Chen Wen's reaction, and continued.
"I also had a time when I took away my eyes, and at that time, I had a good impression of Zhong Yu'er and thought she was beautiful, so I strongly recommended that family to the Zhong family. In the end, Zhong Yuer was persuaded by me to become close to that person, and after marriage, they did respect each other like guests, and Zhong Yuer slowly became fond of that person. But ......"
Chen Wen took her words: "However, it turns out that he only likes beautiful women, not sincerely!" After watching it for five months, I'm tired of watching Zhong Yu'er, so I can run away with others so easily! ”
Xi Niang nodded: "Indeed, I looked away." Although the relationship between husband and wife has nothing to do with me, I think this orphan and widow is really guilty, so ......" will help.
The more Xi Niang spoke, the quieter she became, but Chen Wen already understood everything.
The bride wants to atone for her previous misjudgment, and the atonement is coming.
"I am a happy mother, I have always done things with my conscience, but I will not pull the strings casually, except for Zhong Yuer, I have a clear conscience for decades."
Xi Niang paused, remembering that if she talked about it to others later, others would feel bad luck and didn't want her to be Xi Niang, she would have nothing to say.
"I've been in office for decades, and I've saved up enough money, maybe it's time to retire."
Chen Wen opened his mouth and looked the bride up and down: "The body is so tough, it's no problem to be a bride for decades." ”
Xi Niang was defeated by the sweetness of her mouth, took the handkerchief, covered her mouth and smiled.
"If only I could have known you a few years earlier, you're also talented."
Chen Wen waved his hand again and again. She has been wearing it for less than a year, and if she had known her a few years earlier, she would only know the original owner of this body.
"When you're older, it's time to get married, come to me, and I'll give you that line for free."
Chen Wen tilted his head and smiled. I didn't say it was good, and I didn't say it was bad.
Chen Wen and Xi Niang stood outside for a long time, Aunt Zhong held on to the door frame, her eyes were full of tears, and she shouted Chen Wen's name.
"My girl, now that you have some strength, can you go in and measure her?"
When Chen Wen heard this, he hurriedly raised his feet and went in, while Aunt Zhong withdrew, leaving Chen Wen and Zhong Yu'er alone.
Zhong Yu'er sat on the chair bonelessly, and when she saw Chen Wen coming towards her, she pulled out a weak smile.
Chen Wen didn't tell her either, and went up directly to measure the size of her upper body.
When it was measured on her shoulder, Chen Wen didn't dare to break her shoulder, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "Lady, don't bend your shoulder, you can ......"
"I don't have the strength."
Chen Wen thought for a while, went to break her shoulder, and after measuring it, he walked around in front of her, and suddenly looked at Zhong Yu'er with tears in his eyes.
"I don't have long to live."
Chen Wen froze in place, his hands did not move.
"Little girl, your eyes are so beautiful, you must keep your eyes open."
Two lines of tears dripped down her cheeks and smashed on her own hands.
"Don't make me a wedding dress, what is it to wear it in a coffin, make me a beautiful mourning dress."
As she spoke, Zhong Yu'er smiled, put her fingers into her sleeves, didn't know what she was digging for, and took out a piece of silver after a while.
"I've saved money for a long time, give it to you."
Inexplicably, Chen Wen's nose was sour, and his eyes were full of tears.
How can anyone himself die, and he will make mourning clothes for himself.
