Chapter 209: Safflower Wine (13)

Li Nanniang went to the grave and felt that this was much more relaxed. The sacrifice was bought for money, and of course it was reluctant to rest on the grave for the wild dog to take it in its mouth, and take it home, just to improve its own food.

I chose a large apple and burned it on the fire, and the small kitchen was filled with the aroma of fruit. Eat it while it's hot, and your whole body will be warmed up. When his body was warm, he became sleepy, yawned and returned to the bedroom, where he saw the medicinal wine on the table.

As soon as Li Nanniang opened the medicinal wine, she remembered the dream she had last night, and muttered in her heart. When I didn't drink medicinal wine before, I didn't have nightmares. How did I drink medicinal wine, but I dreamed instead. Could it be that there is something wrong with this medicinal wine?

Thinking of this, I stopped drinking the medicinal wine, and just lay on the bed, wrapped in the quilt and fell asleep.

As soon as her eyes were closed, she fell into a dream, Li Nanniang knew that something was wrong, but she couldn't wake up.

In her dream, she was still in her own yard, kneeling on the steps, with a few familiar apples resting in front of her.

The dead ghost mother-in-law was sitting on top and poking her head with a cane: "Okay, you Dakui daughter-in-law, this apple is said to be bought to honor our mother, why did it get to your stomach in a blink of an eye?" ”

"Mother! You are mistaken! Li Nanniang had a headache when she was poked by the crutch, but she still knew that the other party was a ghost, so she didn't dare to cover it: "It's not that the daughter-in-law is greedy, but she is really reluctant to put these good fruits in that wild place?" Mother, your old man knows, although the conditions of our family are better than those on the street, but we can't afford to live this kind of wasteful life, these are all taught by your old man to his daughter-in-law. Don't worry, this fruit will be offered to your old man in a while. Daughter-in-law, I beg you, for the past many years, the daughter-in-law can be regarded as wholeheartedly for the sake of our Li family, so don't be difficult for the daughter-in-law anymore! ”

"Da Kui, what do you say when your daughter-in-law opens her mouth and closes her mouth? How to give my mother something to eat, just leave it in the wilderness, and give it to my mother? She...... Isn't she cursing my mother to my death? Also, my mother just said such a sentence, and her daughter-in-law actually said such a long list of words, this is to rebel, to ride on her mother's neck! ”

As she spoke, the old lady shed two lines of tears, and the crutches clicked on the ground.

Li Kui's face darkened, and he walked up to Li Nanniang slowly, and kicked her to the ground with his foot.

"Kneel! Kneel! Don't say that our Li family, even if you look at it in this Tang Dynasty, there is no one like you to be a daughter-in-law. The old lady said, pointing at Li Nanniang with a cane: "I'm so angry!" I'm! Da Kui, you look at your daughter-in-law, kneeling until it gets dark, and you don't allow her to get up. She was not allowed to eat at night, nor was she allowed to go to bed when she slept. I saw that there was still a lot of firewood in the yard, so let her chop firewood at night. Lazy and gluttonous, what do you sleep? ”

Li Nanniang lay on the ground aggrievedly, she wanted to jump up and scold this dead ghost mother-in-law, but her ribs hurt from the kick of the dead ghost husband. Don't say it's scolding, but if you want to speak, you can't make a sound in pain.

The house leak happened to be rainy, and it was still sunny just now, but it actually said that it was raining at this time. In the cold winter of the wax moon, this cold rain poured on the body, like ice knives. Li Nanniang was shivering from the cold, and she wanted to get up from the ground several times, but when she looked up, the dead ghost husband stood under the eaves with cold eyes, and she felt a chill when she saw her.

Looking at the eyes of her dead ghost husband and the rain that kept falling on the ground, Li Nanniang inexplicably felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. It's just that the one standing under the eaves of the porch at that time was himself, and the one kneeling in the courtyard was Honghua.

At that time, what did Honghua do wrong?

Yes, she quietly ate a leftover steamed bun.

Ever since she knew that Honghua and her son were in the same place, she was not happy, why should her son, who had worked so hard to raise her, be willing to be good to another woman. If this safflower family is rich and powerful, it would be fine, but like his own family, he would be so poor that it would not be a jingle, it would be similar.

But their Li family is also poor, and it is difficult to say that they are poor, seeing that their son has reached the age when he should get married, except for Honghua, there is no girl next to him who is willing to enter the door, so she is unwilling and reluctantly agrees. To say, this safflower is also a good daughter-in-law, since she entered the door, she has not said a word against her, let her go west, never east, let her cook, never go laundry. This obedient and filial piety is naturally not said, and the things inside and outside the home are also meticulous, so that she really enjoyed the blessings for a while.

But people, just don't be satisfied, although Honghua, the daughter-in-law, doesn't have to choose everything she does, but the better she does, the more unhappy she is in her heart. I want to scold two sentences and hit a few times at every turn.

When Honghua came back late that day, she deliberately poured all the food and didn't let her eat. Honghua had red circles in her eyes, didn't speak, and turned around to go back to the house. When she was angry, he punished her for splitting all the firewood in the yard.

Honghua was also obedient, although she may be angry with herself in her heart, but she still honestly chopped wood. As for her, she woke up in the middle of the night, heard a movement outside the house, and looked at it, and the kitchen light was on. After entering, I saw Honghua munching on steamed buns. The steamed bun was left over from a few days ago. Although it will not break down on a cold day, it will be as hard as a stone.

Honghua was worried that she would be angry, so she didn't even light the fire, so she squatted in the corner of the kitchen and nibbled on the cold steamed bun. She was also a little soft-hearted, but the red flower actually raised her head at this time and looked at her with that fearful, pitiful, pleading gaze. It made her feel like a heinous bad person in an instant.

Li Nanniang didn't like this feeling, and she didn't like the delicate and pitiful appearance of the red flower, so she punished her to kneel in the yard and didn't get up until dawn.

She was just angry, but who knew that it would rain at night. She was worried that she would not be able to hold back the safflower in the future, so she didn't open her mouth to get up. In this way, let Honghua kneel in the rain all night, and when it was dawn, he found that Honghua had already fainted to the ground.

The son glanced at her angrily, and went to invite the doctor to come over, and the consultation fee alone cost 30 yuan. Coupled with this later decoction, it cost her a full tael of silver. It was at that time that the doctor diagnosed Honghua as pregnant.

It is said that the Li family is happy to have a future, and she, as a mother-in-law, naturally hopes that Honghua can give birth to a big fat grandson. But on the other hand, she was also afraid in her heart. Worried that the red flower will give birth to her son, and the mother will be expensive with the son, and there will be no more room for her to speak in the family in the future. With this contradictory mood, she has more difficulties with Honghua.

Who knew that this safflower was also an unassuming person, and she actually gave birth to a girl. She naturally wants to use this reason to cure the safflower, so that she will not give birth to a boy in the future, and she will really forget her duty and climb on her head as a mother-in-law.

The death of her little granddaughter, Li Nanniang felt that it was not her fault. The child was born with a weak physique, this is a mother's failure to raise the fetus well, what does it matter to her as a mother-in-law. Honghua cried and shouted for her to take the money to treat the child, but the little money in her hand was not blown by the wind. This safflower doesn't know the difficulties of being a family, this money is difficult to earn, easy to spend, if it is not really sick, Mo said that it is just a newborn girl, even herself, and she is reluctant to buy soup and take medicine.

Also, the money given by the neighbors was not something she intended to plunder. She was worried that this red flower was ignorant and took this silver to spend indiscriminately. Although these pieces of money were made up by the neighbors, they were given to Honghua, even if it was their Li family's silver. She is not only Honghua's mother-in-law, but also the head of the Li family, and she should also share the money if she wants to dispose of it reasonably.

Doesn't she care about her little granddaughter? The conscience of heaven and earth, she also invited someone to come and see it. It's just that the little girl is not as good as her mother's saffron foundation, and her life is hard, so she left like that. It doesn't matter if she leaves, a girl's family, it is not a blessing to give birth to their Li family, she still helps the child die early and reincarnate early, and go to live a good life as soon as possible.

Li Nanniang recalled this, and only felt that her whole body began to warm up. She curled up on the ground, wrapped her hands tightly around her legs, then looked up and smiled at her dead husband who was standing under the eaves.

Li Nan returned home, didn't see his mother, and didn't worry too much, but went back to the room and nested himself in the quilt. I slept until the evening in a daze, and then came out. Seeing that the kitchen was still cold pots and stoves, he knocked on his mother's door. After knocking a few times, no one answered, and I hurriedly pushed the door in, only to see my mother curled up on the bed, covered in **, and I don't know where it was wet. His lips were blue, his face was pale, and he looked scary.

"Mother! Mother, what's wrong with you? ”

Li Nanniang opened her eyes in a daze and looked at the person in front of her, who looked like her son Li Nan and her dead ghost husband who had already died. She smiled heavily, her eyes cloudy, like a madman on the street.

Li Nan was stunned, he stared at his mother for a while, and finally realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran to the neighbor's house, that is, Li Siniang's brother's house, for help. Li Siniang's brother is a warm-hearted person, although his son Li An is still sick, he still drove a donkey cart to take Li Nan and his mother to the city to seek medical treatment.

After going around the city, I finally stopped at the door of the Ruyi Rouge Shop. At this time, the rouge shop had already closed, and the guy Li Mao was lighting the lamp, and when he saw the three people in the carriage, he grinned and asked, "Are you here?" ”

"Little brother, it's so strange to ask, could it be that she didn't come to punish the girl, she would have already arrived at us?"

"The shopkeeper of our family is not a god, how can it be calculated so accurately. It's just that when I had dinner in the evening, the shopkeeper casually calculated it, saying that there were familiar guests in the past two days, and I asked me to entertain them carefully. No, when I was hanging the lantern just now, I saw the donkey cart of Brother Li's house, and I didn't expect that there were still people sitting next to me. When I took a closer look, I had actually met. If I'm not mistaken, this son is also surnamed Li, and he lives next door to Brother Li's house, right? ”
