Section 4 My Father and Mother (4)
My mother's jealousy didn't always benefit her, and she paid a great price for it.
Even as her own daughter, I would say that there were some things that she did go too far, so that she sinned against herself, as if she had been sent by heaven.
If she is convicted in the sense of family inheritance, she will be enough to sink into the pool. The so-called unfilial piety has three, and no queen is the greatest, and she made my father, the dignified prime minister, completely extinct. Although she gave birth to two sons, both of them died indirectly at her hands.
My mother's jealousy is also known for this reason. If you just compete with your original partner for a husband, it is not news in a wealthy family.
It is said that my mother finally gave birth to a son in the third year after giving birth to my sister Jia Wu. Of course, my father was overjoyed. He was in his forties at this time and had no son. He was an only son himself, and he was born when my grandfather was in his forties. So he was only ten years old when his grandfather died, and for so many years, he supported the entire big family alone, and he didn't have a single effective helper. Now that he finally has a son who can inherit the family business, you can imagine how happy he is.
My younger brother's name is Li Min, and he looks very cute. When he was two years old, one day his nurse was playing in the front yard with his mother, just as my father came back from the next day. When Li Min saw his father, he happily stretched out his hand in the arms of his nursing mother and shouted, "Daddy hug, daddy hug." ”
The father was still holding the official document in his hand, and he did not reach out to hug him, but held the official document in one hand and reached into the nurse's arms with the other to tease him. Father and son, you make me laugh I don't know how happy, the nurse is also happy to laugh and coax, that scene, it looks like a family of three enjoying the joy of family.
The nurse was also a little beautiful, and she was very young, only twenty-one years old, while my mother was already in her thirties at the time, and she was already a little weak-hearted, not to mention that she saw such a scene. She usually has nothing to do with my father's bad luck, and this can be regarded as a hornet's nest.
My father was amused, and when he looked back and saw my mother standing behind with a black face, his face turned white with fright. I don't know if his legs are shaking, but when I saw him walking back to his study with an embarrassed smile on the steps, his back was a little shaky.
The mother looked at the nurse's placket open, and faintly could see the crimson bandeau inside, and asked with a smile, "Were you breastfeeding the young master just now?" ”
The nurse replied in a mosquito-like voice: "No, it's just for the young master to touch, and the lady knows the young master's habit." ”
"Then when you see the master coming over, why don't you pull up your clothes?"
"I'm afraid that the young master will cry, so I don't."
"The young master will cry if he doesn't touch your two stalks. I was just about to ask you, why did you let the young master develop this habit? The young master is now two years old, and he can be weaned and eaten, why don't you wean him yet, and you have to touch your two feet day and night to be quiet? What is your heart? ”
"Madam, wronged, it is true that the young master is only willing to eat milk, refuses to eat, and if he does not give him milk, he would rather cry with hunger than eat, and I have tried to break it many times, but I have not broken it. I also tried to break the habit of touching milk, but I didn't let him cry when I touched him, and I couldn't breathe when I cried, so I had to let him touch it every day. ”
"Really? Then why don't other children do this, just him? You deliberately made him a habit. Don't think I don't know what you have in mind, you see that my family pays a lot of wages, and the food you eat every day is exquisite, so you refuse to leave, and you want to stay forever. Now you see that the child is getting older and older, and it has not been long since you became a nurse, and you have begun to play the master's idea again. Do you think that if you hook up with the master, you can occupy the magpie's nest and live here for a long time? ”
When Li Min saw his mother's fierce face, he was so frightened that he cried. The nurse hurriedly took the opportunity to coax him, and lowered her head to carry him back to the back room. My mother shouted, "Stop!" I haven't finished asking yet, who gave you the courage to go? ”
The nurse patted Li Min affectionately and said, "But the young master will be scared when he sees his wife, so he won't cry if he hugs him farther away." ”
My mother was so angry that her voice trembled, and she shouted one after another: "Go and bring the child to me, and then drag this slut down and beat him to the forty boards, and beat him hard, and beat him to death." It's going to be against the sky, but after feeding my son a few mouthfuls of milk, it's like my son is hers, and she dares to hold her son hostage! I want to occupy my son and seduce my husband, do you plan to make the master develop the habit of touching your two stumps in the next step, and then let the master drive me away? ”
As soon as the house slaves agreed, they immediately dragged the nurse down. I only heard a crackling sound, and at first the nurse was still crying and begging for mercy, but gradually there was no sound, and only Li Min was left crying heartbreakingly.
That night, the nurse was wrapped in a straw mat and thrown back to her own home, and the family who sent it threw five hundred taels of silver to her husband, declaring that Mrs. Guo had rewarded him with a new daughter-in-law. The man had been separated from his nurse for two years, and it was said that he had a concubine for a long time. saw five hundred taels of white flowers and silver, and he couldn't earn so much money in his life, enough for him to marry a few daughters-in-law. What's not to like? Nodding his head, he sent off my servant, without saying a word.
My mother solved the nurse and turned her head to take her son personally. asked someone to cook this porridge and stew that soup for him, but he refused to eat it, just cried day and night, and shouted for a nurse in his mouth. Within a few days, he rolled his eyes and died.
Only then did the mother regret that she was too impatient and should have saved the nurse's life. Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything, and her son had already followed the nurse.
The same event repeated itself two years later, and even the plot was exactly the same. It was also my father who stretched out his hand to tease the nurse in his arms, which caused my mother to be very powerful, and the nurse was fruited with a stick, and soon the newborn little brother followed.
After this incident, my mother became notorious, and the spit stars could drown her. The whole Jin Kingdom was waiting to see what happened to her, and the casino even bet that she would be divorced by my father at a ratio of one to twenty. During that time, Jia Quan and Jia Jun also frequently came and went to my house in the name of comforting my father, but in fact they gloated and took the opportunity to stir up trouble, trying to kick my mother out and invite their mother back.
I want to explain here that they were taken by my grandmother when they were in the Li family's distribution of the frontier. Later, after the Li family came back, and after the father bought another house for the Li family to settle down, the grandmother had passed away at that time, and they took the initiative to move to the Li family. Every now and then, though, he would come back to say goodbye to his father, but never as often as he had been during that time.
What makes the people of the country depressed is that day by day, month by month, the Prime Minister's Office is still the same, and there is no abnormal movement. The abandoned original wife is still left out in the cold in Yongnian, and there is no trace of my father. Half a year later, they were completely disappointed, my mother was still on the throne of the prime minister's wife, and my father was still afraid of his wife. Even the death of his son has become taboo in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and no one dares to mention it again.
Only then did the Chinese people go from insulting and admiring my mother to being amazed and admired, and being a woman can do this, which makes people speechless.
Later, when I analyzed my father's motives, he knew that his mother was extremely jealous and would never forgive him for reaching into the nurse's arms to coax the child. The first time it can be said that he didn't expect the consequences, and the second time he was like that, he couldn't help but suspect that there was something wrong with his mentality.
I even think that my father did it on purpose, he just wanted to see my mother angry, he just liked to be repaired by my mother, and the worse the repair, the more excited he became. After those two nursing mother incidents, the nursing mother was beaten to death, and my father was used as a human sandbag every day for most of the year. Every time my mother missed her son, she would cry and scold while grabbing my father and beating him. It has become a regular practice for the prime minister to bring injuries to the court, and if he is not injured one day, the courtiers will still wonder: yes, then the tigress is a vegetarian today?
