Chapter Eighty-Five: The Past
When Shen Mengxi and the Wu family arrived at the river, there were no people here, because they had a night of trouble at home last night, so they came early today. At this time, it was still early, and most of the people in the village were still eating the morning meal.
Wu let go of the old ox and let it graze alone, while she took Shen Mengxi to dig wild vegetables.
"Auntie, what kind of person is my mother?" Shen Mengxi asked Wu Shidao.
Wu said with a smile while digging wild vegetables: "Your mother is the most beautiful, gentle, and virtuous woman I have ever seen!" In short, it's a typical lady's appearance! ”
"Then why is my mother so good, and my grandmother still doesn't like her?"
"How do you know your grandmother doesn't like your mother?" Wu glanced at Shen Mengxi and asked.
"I overheard her say bad things about her mother!" Shen Mengxi didn't blush when she lied, she hadn't heard Cui's bad words about Fu at all, she analyzed it based on Cui's various behaviors!
"Alas! Your grandmother loves Xiao Cui's niece, and she wanted to marry Xiao Cui when she married your father, but your grandfather and your father disagreed, and your father also recognized your mother, saying that you would not marry! Of course your grandmother doesn't like it! ”
Wu's words were simple, but Shen Mengxi felt that the Cui family was probably still jealous of the Fu family, and the Fu family was much stronger than the Cui family everywhere, so that the Cui family, who had always been very self-assured, couldn't get used to her.
"Have you seen my uncle, auntie?" Shen Mengxi asked tentatively.
"I've seen it!" Wu said: "He and your mother are very fond of each other, and you and your father were called Ruyu Shuanggongzi!" ”
"Why have I never seen my uncle?"
Wu was stunned for a moment and did not answer, she continued to dig wild vegetables in silence, and only after a long time did she speak again: "Your uncle is angry because your father married Xiao Cui during your mother's affectionate filial piety!" When your mother died that day, your uncle was still participating in the spring festival in Bianjing City, and after the exam, he heard that your mother was gone, so he hurried over, and just happened to meet Xiao Cui's sedan chair entering the door. In a fit of rage, your uncle beat your father, and from then on he broke off contact with your father. Only every year on your birthday and Mengxu's birthday, as well as your eldest brother's birthday, send someone back to send a gift! ”
"Then why did my father marry Xiao Cui? I don't think he likes Xiao Cui's either, but he has been avoiding Xiao Cui's! Shen Mengxi frowned, unable to figure it out.
"It's your grandmother, she forced your father to agree to marry Xiao Cui to enter the door. The family was sad because of the death of your mother, and they didn't have the energy to mess with your grandmother, so they ...... Now that you think about it, apart from your grandmother, there is no one in this family who wants little Cui to be your father's stepfamily. But why didn't you hold on to it at that time? ”
Yes! If Shen Zaishi and Shen Zhixin could withstand the pressure at that time and resolutely disagree with Xiao Cui's marriage into the Shen family, Cui's would not be able to do anything no matter how bad the trouble was! Isn't that what it is this time? Cui's search for life and death was unwilling to leave the Shen family, his grandfather insisted, his father and second uncle did not come out, and Cui's family was not sent back to the Cui family in the end? Shen Mengxi felt a little regretful in her heart, unwilling for the innocent little girl. But think about it, if Xiao Cui's hadn't married into the Shen family, then she might not have been able to enter this dream!
"Auntie, is my mother really dying because she gave birth to me and Xu'er?" Shen Mengxi felt that the Wu family had something to hide in the affairs of the Fu family, just now she knew from the Wu family's words that the Cui family and the little Cui family's hatred for the Fu family, coupled with her uncle's attitude towards the Shen family, she felt that the Wu family must have hidden something inside.
"Why are you asking that all of a sudden?" Wu looked at Shen Mengxi vigilantly.
