Chapter 263: Dumplings (8)
When he first arrived at the paper shop, Xing Ruyi heard people mention it, saying that there was a local custom. If someone hangs themselves in the house, they have to cut a mark on the beam. This, two, three, four, five, six, and seven are a total of seven, indicating that in this room, at least seven people hanged themselves, which belonged to the best in the murderous house.
Xing Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and set his eyes on the smiling face of the village chief: "Look at the village chief's house, it should have been renovated recently, right?" Ruyi wants to take the liberty of asking, is this house the ancestral home of the village chief's family or was it purchased from someone else? ”
"Don't hide it from the girl, I bought this house from someone else. The original owner, the girl has also heard of it, is the Yun family of Miss Yun. This old man Yun was originally from our village, and later made a fortune and moved elsewhere, but this old mansion has always been there. No, after the New Year, my grandson will be an adult, and the original house is not enough to live in, so I am looking for another house. It happened that this place was empty, and the house was not badly kept, so I found a middleman to discuss it with Master Yun. This Master Yun is also a good person, he understands my family's difficulties, and he didn't even accept a copper coin, so he gave me this house. As for me, I discussed it with my son and daughter-in-law, and then I took out the money I was going to buy a house and renovated it, which became what I was looking like in front of me. ”
"The village chief is not only the house he bought from Master Yun, but also the old man in the village, do you know the past of this house?"
"In the past? That's what the girl wants to ask, right? ”
"Does the village chief know what I want to ask?"
"When I first met the girl at the well, I saw that the girl was not an ordinary person, not only the girl was not an ordinary person, but even the people around the girl were not ordinary people. When others came into my house, they looked at the furniture and other things, and the girl was a person who had seen a big scene, so she naturally looked down on the rough tables, chairs and benches in my house, but at least she would take a decent look at it. But the girl just glanced at it, but looked at my house for a long time. ”
"Indeed, I am more interested in the main beam of the village chief's house, especially the knife marks on it."
"This is our local rule, but whenever someone hangs himself in the family, he must cut a mark on the beam of this house. In this old house, a total of seven people hanged themselves, so there are seven knife marks left on the beam. ”
"If the village chief knows so well, why did he buy such a murderous mansion?"
"Murderous house? Yes, in the eyes of others, maybe this house is very fierce, a murderous house that no one can approach, but for me, this house is the thought of my life, and I don't think it is fierce here. The village chief said, pointing to a tree stump in the courtyard: "There was originally an osmanthus tree growing there, and when I was young, I often played there, with the current Master Yun." My mother is Master Yun's nurse, so I grew up eating the same milk as him. Oh, by the way, Master Yun's biological mother was the first person to hang herself in this house. ”
"Good and decent, why did Master Yun's biological mother commit suicide?"
"Speaking of which, it's also related to dumplings!" The village chief sighed: "At that time, the Yun family was not what it is now, at most it was a rich family in the village, and the old lady of the Yun family was more diligent and thrifty, and she was very harsh on herself and outsiders. When this old man Yun's mother gave birth to him, she was born. Girl, you know what Lisheng is, right? ”
"Normal fetuses are born with their heads down and their feet up, but there are also some children who are born with their feet down and their heads up, which is a kind of dystocia. This situation is very dangerous, and if not handled properly, both the child and the mother may die. Of course, if you are lucky, the child will be safe and sound, but most pregnant women will be accompanied by symptoms of heavy bleeding. ”
"That's right, the girl is right. I really didn't expect that girl, you are young, but you still understand these medical methods. The village chief said, and glanced at the stump outside: "This is the case of Master Yun's mother, the situation at that time was very dangerous, my mother and Master Yun's mother knew each other in the old days, and gave birth to a child before her, so she was also invited to the Yun family to help at that time."
According to my mother, when the child was halfway born, Mrs. Yun said to Mrs. Wen, it doesn't matter if this daughter-in-law dies, it's a big deal to marry another one for the Yun family. But the child in this daughter-in-law's womb is the root of the Yun family, and everything must be saved. In the countryside, when encountering that kind of dangerous scene, most of them do their best and obey the fate of heaven. But Mrs. Yun came up with a method, saying that she heard it from someone else. If the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family encounters dystocia, she will give birth by watching her being whipped, saying that it can stimulate the mother.
At that time, the conditions of the Yun family were slightly better than those of our ordinary families, and it was not like now that there was a maid or something that could be used to beat and scold. So the old lady Yun said, let Wen Po take a whip and beat the pregnant woman directly, saying that the pregnant woman felt pain, and the child was naturally born. ”
"This is simply the most vicious mother-in-law of all the stories I've ever heard!" Xing Ruyi's eyes widened: "Then Wen Po really beat it?" ”
The village chief nodded gloomily: "My mother was also there at the time, kneeling on the ground and crying and begging Mrs. Yun, saying that you must not do that." In case she gets pregnant, not only will her daughter-in-law be gone, but even the Yun family roots and seedlings in her belly will be gone. Mrs. Yun had a very tough attitude at that time, and asked my mother directly, if she didn't do this, if something happened to the child in her belly, would my mother be able to take this responsibility.
My mother naturally can't afford this responsibility, so she can't stop the rest of the matter. The good thing is that with just one whip, Master Yun automatically escaped from his mother's belly, which can be regarded as saving his mother's life. But the things that Mrs. Yun did and said at that time were really engraved in the heart of Mrs. Yun's mother.
It is said that this big fat boy gave birth to a big fat boy and suffered so many sins, he should have been raised for a while, but because Master Yun was born in childbirth, his mother had heavy bleeding after giving birth, and he hired a very expensive doctor to barely save that life. Mrs. Yun complained tightly from the inside, and in the days after giving birth, she said a lot of heavy words, you can imagine how much this old man Yun's mother should be in her heart.
So, on the day of Master Yun's full moon, Master Yun's mother made a request to Master Yun's father, saying that she wanted to eat a bowl of dumplings with vegetarian filling. Master Yun's father responded, but the dumplings were ready, but Master Yun's mother didn't eat a bite, because there were eggs in the vegetarian filling, and it was still two eggs. was immediately scolded by Mrs. Yun, saying that Master Yun's mother was intent on defeating the Yun family, and she was going to toss the Yun family away.
Master Yun's mother immediately sneered three times and did not speak again. When Master Yun's full moon banquet passed, people found out that they hadn't seen Master Yun's mother for most of the day, that is, the child's mother. When I found her, everyone had been hanging on the main beam for a long time, and her body was cold. ”
"Not only is my body cold, I'm afraid my heart will already be cold!" Xing Ruyi said and sighed deeply: "After giving birth, this pregnant woman is very prone to symptoms of anxiety and anxiety, which is due to the unbearable labor pain experienced by ordinary people during childbirth and the huge physical exhaustion experienced after giving birth, resulting in physical and mental exhaustion. If in the process of production, instead of care and understanding, you get scolding and reprimanding, it will aggravate the degree of anxiety in the production process.
In the process of maternal delivery, the use of whipping to induce labor is even more unheard of, and this old lady of the Yun family is also a big wonder. The mother is already dystocia, and how painful the process is, she is a woman herself, don't you know? It's easy to give birth, not only did she not let her daughter-in-law rest well and take good care of her, but she also blindly scolded and complained, no wonder it made a mother want to die, and she was stunned to find a short time at her son's full moon banquet. ”
"Is this also a disease?"
Chang Tai frowned while listening, and couldn't help but ask.
"Well, it's a kind of disease, and in my hometown, it's called postpartum depression. If it is severe, treatment should be given as soon as possible. However, due to the special situation of the patient, it is recommended to choose Chinese herbal medicine, such as our Ruyi Rouge Shop produced the anti-depression and soothing soup, which is made of Bupleurum, Poria cocos, angelica, acacia bark, white peony, fried jujube kernels, 25 grams of Schisandra, 10 grams of Zhimu, 30 grams of nightshade, decoction with water every day, there is also a kind of medicine, which is for the rich and noble to eat, called Coptis Ejiao soup, with 3 grams of Coptis chinensis, skullcap, white peony, calamus, Bupleurum, libririce, tulip, 10 grams of good donkey skin ejiao, 30 grams of floating wheat, 15 grams of jujube kernels, and 5 jujubes, which are also decocted with water every day, and the effect is very good. However, even if there was my medicine at that time, according to Mrs. Yun's bitter energy, she might not be willing to buy it. ”
"The girl's words are true, how can a person who can't even give up two eggs be willing to buy those medicines again. Master Yun's mother hanged herself, and after Master Yun's father was sad and sad for a while, under the arrangement of Mrs. Yun, he married another person, that is, Master Yun's stepmother. When this newcomer entered the door, he naturally couldn't tolerate a Yun master who had just been weaned for a full moon, so my mother became the nurse of Yun Lao, and I also lived in the big courtyard of the Yun family with my mother. After that, for almost a year, the Yun family was calm, and it wasn't until the night that the lady who was remarried by Master Yun gave birth that the Yun family made waves again, so there were two more knife marks on the beam. ”
