Chapter 011: The child dies
Early the next morning, Wei Xuan kissed her on the forehead and went to the private school in a good mood.
After eating the breakfast made by Qing Shui, Chu Jiaoniang looked at a good hour and wanted to talk to the Liu family about feeding food at home. Regardless of whether Wei Xuan was instigated or not, what should be said must be said. But before he opened his mouth, he cried at the head of the village, and directly drew the eyes of the room.
Old man Wei looked up and looked out, "What's wrong?" ”
On the side of the road at the entrance of the courtyard, several families next door came out one after another, some people watched, and some people walked to the village with the sound of crying.
Someone said, "O iniquity! The youngest son of the old Li family went to the river to fetch water this morning, but accidentally fell into the river and didn't get up. ”
"Is this gone?"
"It's not like it's gone."
"That's really a sin, how old is that child......"
Liu's ears heard the words, put down the work in his hand and got up and went outside to join in the fun, the old man Wei didn't follow him, and Jiang Feng didn't bother to drill into the pile of these mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law, and he didn't come out. Jiang Yu and Chu Jianniang followed behind the Liu family together.
Lao Li's family has four children, the first three are all girls, the eldest girl and the second girl are married, and the remaining three girls and this nine-year-old son are at home.
I heard that this child was not easy to come by, and there was a famine in the year he was born, and the family had nothing to eat, so his mother took him down in order to have strength, and ate bran for three meals a day. I didn't know where I was going to live. Later, it was still difficult to give birth, and after giving birth to him, he lost his breath.
After the death of the child's mother, the Li family found a widow in the second year to renew. Like the Wei family, they are all looking for Erniang.
The Li family continued to be the Wu family who came from the back of the mountain, this Wu family Chu Jiaoniang knew, and it was the one who spoke in front of her when she went to the mountains to pick up wild mushrooms two days ago. He is quite straight, loves to fight unevenly, and is also generous, compared to his mother-in-law Liu, they all say that the stepmother of the Li family is better than the stepmother of the Wei family.
This happened all of a sudden, and I felt that the moldy head had touched her, and God couldn't open his eyes.
At the entrance of the village, by the river dam, two wooden barrels carrying water fell sideways on the side and were forgotten, and lying next to him was the youngest son of the Li family who had just been fished up from the river, soaking wet, his skin was bruised and swollen, and there were blood stains between his mouth and nose, which looked a little scary.
Wu sat softly next to the child, patting the ground with both hands, and the howling continued, "Oh my God! What a sin this has been done! I want to take my wife's life, what do you want the child to do! My dear Jade Emperor Guanyin Bodhisattva! During the New Year's holidays, I didn't give you less incense and kowtow to you, and I didn't do half of the trouble, what to do for my family! Give me back my son! ”
Although this child is not her own, she is also pulled up with a handful of and urine when she is young, and she has already regarded this son as a parent. Now the child is gone, and you don't want her life? Wu cried so much that he fainted.
A few mothers-in-law and aunts on the side stepped forward to persuade them, and Chen, who was better with her, also wiped her nose sadly on the side, "Mrs. Wu, you are better, don't cry, don't let the child show up here, go back to Lao Li Tou first, and get the child back." ”
Wu couldn't stop, didn't hear what the people on the side said, just cried: "Son! O my son! How do you let me face your father! It's not good for my mother, my mother shouldn't let you carry water, it's all my mother's fault, I might as well accompany you! ”
As he spoke, he got up and was about to drill into the river.
"Why are you doing this!" Chen didn't stop him for a moment, and hurriedly asked his man to help pull him back, "Lady Wu, don't be like this, this is all creation." As the saying goes, creation makes people, who can you talk to? Don't blame yourself, you can only say that this child is blessed with a thin life. ”
"You just let me go with the child! I'm sorry for him! ”
Chen was helpless, so he dragged her hard and made her make trouble for a while.
Probably because he couldn't cry anymore, Wu fainted all of a sudden. Chen hurriedly called someone to come over and help, and called a few male generals to help carry the child back and report to Lao Li's family.
The death of the child is not a good thing, some people look sorry, except for a few aunts and old people who have a close relationship with each other to ask a few times, the others are not good to come to the door, watching the child's body being taken away, each whispering some words and then dispersed.
Liu sighed a few times, "It's a pity, such a good seedling." ”
Jiang Yu came over: "Mother, I have heard people say that the Li family's feng shui is not good, the yin is prosperous and the yang is declining, that old Li Tou has not been well since he was infected with a wind cold, and he has dragged on until now, and there is a problem with it, I looked at it a few days ago, and I am afraid that it will be a few days." ”
"Alas, this matter is uncertain, if the first two hadn't married, then Lao Li would have been buried early. The old one's life is hard, and he has a fight with the king of Hades, and now people don't look at the little one? Liu sighed: "This is indeed a person's creation and life. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly reacted, and saw that it was Jiang Yu who was talking next to his ear, and when he thought that yesterday's incident had not passed, he immediately made a straight face, "What are you chewing on here, hurry up and go back to me!" ”
Jiang Yu glanced at him and didn't bother to pay attention.
The child died and couldn't do anything, so the Li family chose an hour that night and went to the Houshan bamboo forest to find a place to bury it. When he returned, the three people sitting in the room were immersed in grief. The two sisters who got married, when they learned the news, rushed back with their husbands overnight to ask about the situation.
When Wu continued to come to the Li family, the two girls who married out were seven or eight years old at the time, and their mother had just left, and she didn't like it in the face of the new stepmother, and she didn't give a good face and caused a lot of temper, and she always felt that this was a black-hearted stepmother who didn't have any kindness to the people in the family.
At this time, when he heard that the little brother was instigated by the Wu family to go out to fetch water, he was angry and rushed up.
"What a femme fatale woman, you really didn't have any good intentions, how old is the little brother, you let him carry water, you wish our family was the last, right?"
It was the big girl who spoke, with tears on her goose egg face, and her index finger poked straight in front of Wu's face.
In the eight years that the Wu family has been in the Li family, the only thing that has made her feel uncomfortable in her heart is that she failed to let the eldest girl and the second girl untie their feelings for her. She also knew that these two girls would come over, and she accepted whatever she said now. She shouldn't have made a bet with the old man to ask him to pick a bucket of water back, and she went to buy him a sugar gourd.
With a snort, Wu held his face with both hands and wiped a handful of tears.
The second girl next to her also held her breath, got up and scolded: "What are you pretending to cry for!" Since you were a child, you have beaten and scolded us, and you dislike us as much as you want, what is there to cry about now? See for yourself, my dad is served like this by you! Now your little brother is lost to you! You don't have anything! ”
"I've seen people who are stepmothers, but I haven't seen any of them who have driven their husbands' families to a dead end. Look at the Liu family of the Wei family, this stepmother is better than you! You want our Li family to have no queen, what kind of heart do you have! ”
