Ants in general
The days passed, and slowly, Xuelan accepted her fate.
She saved up the monthly money, collected all the jewelry she had when she was a maid in the past, and the rouge gouache was no longer used, and the girl who was as fresh as a bud slowly turned into a woman with a weathered face. Xue Lan and Zhang Shan slowly became a real husband and wife.
As her daughter grew up, she would be a maid in her brother's room because of fate, except for this incident that made Xue Lan uneasy, other Xue Lan no longer counted on it.
Zhang Shan is still stinky, even if he washes it, he can't get rid of the smell, but he is honest and reliable, and when he gets an extra money on weekdays, he will take it home and quietly stuff it to her. After Xue Lan was tossed by Zheng Cailiang's flashy and contemptuous love, Zhang's warm honesty made her feel safer.
They supported each other, saved a dowry for Youqing together, and occasionally discussed which kid was worthy of Youqing...... The two of them, who don't talk much, will only smile expectantly when they say this.
They are all slaves, without freedom, without great wealth and wealth; They get up early every day to work, one smells bad, and the other washes until their hands are full of tears; They always walked in the corners of the mansion with their heads bowed, for fear that the nobles they met would be frightened by their vicissitudes of life...... Even so, they still have one last humble dream, that is, the family is safe, even if they are slaves for generations, living like ants.
But this simple and even humble dream was finally completely shattered with Youqing's death.
The eldest girl can only go home once a month, and every time Youqing comes back, in addition to resting and eating, Xuelan uses it to tell her to keep it and pay attention to the distance from Zheng Ziping. She reads it so often that it makes Youqing feel verbose.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Xue Lan is worried every day, afraid that Youqing and Zheng Ziping will do something ugly. She wanted to speak several times, wanting to tell Youqing what happened back then, but she didn't dare to say it, Youqing was different from her after all.
Xuelan is a child of the family, and has been taught how to be a person since she was a child, but Youqing has been taken to learn poetry and books since she was a child, and her heart is higher than that of ordinary little ladies.
Xue Lan is worried that if she lets Youqing know her background, she may not be able to live peacefully in this life, and maybe she will do something irrational, which will affect her life at that time.
Therefore, Xue Lan and Zhang Shan discussed for a long time, but they didn't dare to tell the arrogant Youqing about the events of the year.
But Xue Lan didn't expect that Youqing couldn't withstand the temptation in the end, and she believed Zheng Ziping's assurance, and soon fell in love with him and lost her mind.
……
"Zheng Ziping damn it, he's not a good thing like his father......" When she said this, Xue Lan's eyes were already full of tears.
The past she told was so horrible that people didn't dare to think about how much pain this woman had endured all these years of keeping this secret.
Xue Lan looked at Zheng Ziping and sneered: "Youqing is dead!" What's more, they killed Youqing, not to mention, even Zhang Shan didn't let go! ”。
Zhang Shan is also the slave who poured the night incense. This man who had been a slave all his life was silent and always stinky, he lived a depressed and humble life, and he was the one who worked the most and rewarded the least among the slaves. This man, who has always been obedient, held back his red eyes for a long time after learning that Youqing had hanged himself, and only said "I want to ask for justice for Youqing", and then he entered the main room for the first time to ask for an explanation.
