Chapter 20: The Martyr Girl of Xianghe County (3)
Guo Si went out to beg for a living, when the youngest son was three years old, and the old parents were still there, after he left, the Guo family was even more destitute, and there was no food overnight. How should a family live? ”
Mai Xian Ling looked at Lord Qincha.
Zengshou took a sip of tea, slowly put down the tea bowl and said, "This Guo Si is also a master?" It's not as good as a straight. Leave your family and go to other places to earn a living? Waiting for the family to starve to death? When it comes to this, Guo Niangzi is right to run away alone, and it is Guo Si who is ruthless, unrighteous, disloyal and unfilial. ”
Luo Fan's brows furrowed slightly, and he always felt that something was wrong with the words of increasing longevity.
Mr. Mai's eyes lit up when he heard Lord Qincha say this, and he slapped the table excitedly: "Yes, what Lord Qincha said is very true, Mrs. Guo has reached the point of exhaustion, and she can't bear to abandon her in-laws and leave with her children, so she did something shocking." ”
In the narration of the Mai County Order, the whole incident is like this.
Guo Niangzi summoned the surrounding neighbors to her door and invited her in-laws out.
Everyone didn't know what she was going to do, and they looked at each other, and the Guo family's in-laws were sweating, they knew that it was really wrong for their son to escape from the battle, and they were worried that their daughter-in-law would gather the neighbors and neighbors in a fit of anger to announce that they would break off with their own family. The old couple had only one way to starve to death. is begging along the street, everyone is having a hard time these years, who can have a long-term surplus of food to help with food?
"My family is poor, and my husband has left home, and I am a weak woman who is really unable to support it. Now I plan to sell myself to support my in-laws, all the neighbors present, if someone has spare money and thinks that I pity me and give me some so that I can support my in-laws and raise my young son, and when my father-in-law comes back, I will definitely pay it back, if everyone has no money to do this, don't say anything when you see me leaning on the door and laughing, they are all forced by life, I am starving to death, and my in-laws are hungry because I am not filial. ”
With tears in his eyes, he knelt down in front of everyone.
Everyone surrounded her, and they all felt that it was not a good taste in their hearts. This Guo Si is also called a man? Leave the old and young at home and leave, a weak woman, how do you let her feed two old and one small.
There is a person who has been protected by the media for a long time and said: "Mrs. Guo, if you go to another family, I have been a matchmaker for a lifetime, and I promise to find you a hearty family, it's a big deal to marry your son, and the child will always have something to eat." Leave a root for the old Guo family. ”
"Mother Lin, look at my in-laws' body, if I take Xiaobao away, how much money can I keep, the money will always run out one day, and when the money is gone, what else can I do? Go to another family in exchange for a bride price for your in-laws? Today, I invited all the neighbors to testify to prove that I, Lu Sanniang, were not born to be cheap, and when my father-in-law comes back, you can testify to me, and I am also ...... There's really no other way. ”
Mother Lin said: "This, there is no such reason in the world. Alas, this man, how can it be so difficult to live? ”
Everyone in this world has a difficult life, but few men just walk away like this, putting all the burden on a weak woman who is helpless. What else can the neighbors say? You can't help someone's family, so shut up kindly.
The crowd dispersed, and Guo Niangzi's words gradually spread. Soon, some men came to the door quietly at both ends of the three days. The Guo family's in-laws felt shameless at first, and when those men came, they hurriedly covered their faces and hugged their grandchildren to hide. After the men left, Guo Niangzi pinched the money to buy rice and noodles to support the Guo family's in-laws, so that they could eat and dress warmly, and the children were also fed white and fat, and the dumplings were generally cute.
After a long time, the Guo family's in-laws gradually didn't feel ashamed, everything was at ease, and they no longer went out with their children. You can also ask people if they drink water or sit for a while after those men come. Guo Niangzi was stunned for a moment when she looked at what these two old people were doing at first, and secretly wiped her tears. Later, when she saw that her face was as usual, her tears gradually decreased, and she still retained a little hope in her cold heart: Just hold on until Xianggong comes back, I am finally worthy of him, this family has been fed, and I can still live well.
"This Guo Niangzi sacrificed herself to support her in-laws with hard work, is this considered a filial daughter?" Mai Xianling suddenly asked when he said this.
Luo Fan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and nodded frequently.
Zengshou sneered: "Although a woman is considered to be a husband's family when she marries, but the Guo family's in-laws have never given birth to her, and they have never raised her, how can they still need her to sacrifice herself to support her, she should be a Buddha?" Cutting meat to feed tigers? There are some people in this world who only moved themselves in the end, I'm afraid that Guo Si doesn't think so, and he won't think how great she is. After speaking, he stared at Luo Fan, who was dumbfounded, and added. I have never seen a scoundrel like Guo Si, this Guo Niangzi is really a stupid woman, no wonder she died, people like her are just a waste of food in the world. “
That's a terrible thing to hear.
Luo Fan couldn't imagine that this person would say such cold-blooded and ruthless words, and Mai Xianling trembled even more angrily: "Lord Qincha's words are too damning. ”
He wanted to say that paranoia was unreasonable, but this was already saving face for the little white-faced Qincha in front of him. Hmph, the little white face really doesn't have a good eye. Mai Xianling's face was flushed with anger.
Zengshou laughed, pointed to Mai County Order, and asked: "County Order, why are your faces red when you are angry, so does Guo Niangzi have anything to do with you?" Could it be that you are too...... Hahaha. ”
"Nonsense!" Mai Xian slapped the table angrily.
After the shooting, he trembled with fright, staring at the longevity with wide eyes.
He is from Guangdong, his eye sockets are deep, and his eyes are already big, but with such a star, his round eyes are getting bigger and bigger. Zengshou snorted: "Are you trying to compare your eyes with me?" As he spoke, his eyes widened.
Master Bai got up: "I'm tired from the long journey, is that meal ready, let's eat first, and then talk slowly after eating, talk slowly." ”
As he spoke, he walked up to Mai Xianling, gently pressed his shoulder, and signaled him to calm down.
Mai Xian Ling gasped and his chest heaved: "Yes...... First...... Dine. ”
Zengshou didn't let him go: "Mai County Order, just eat your meal, don't gnaw your teeth like this." ”
The magistrate of Mai County took a breath, suppressed all the dissatisfaction, squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and made a gesture of please: "Please follow the subordinate to the back office." ”
As soon as he walked out of the front hall, a maid hurriedly came from the backyard, bowed down to everyone and asked, "Mrs. asked the girl who sent her to the post station what to do?" Is it to bring my wife to accompany you to dinner, or is it ......"
Mai Xianling thought for a while and said, "Just let Mrs. prepare the meal and send it to the post house." ”
The maid saluted again.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Master Bai had nothing to say: "Mrs. Mai trains the maid very well, she is really in good order, and she is a virtuous helper." ”
Mai Xianling's face was full of smiles, and his eyes were bright: "Yes, Humble Jing is indeed a very good woman." ”
In the back hall, a table of dishes was set up, Zengshou sniffed, stretched his waist and said: "This is what people eat, and they tossed the master along the way." Well, eat, that Mai County ordered you to continue, I want to know how Guo Niangzi died. ”
