Although this room is not spacious, it is still brand new, one enters two rooms, and Lin Jinrong is waiting to sit in the outer room. Leaning against the wall, there are a few old books, next to the bookcase are a few locked large boxes and cabinets, on which are also pasted with yellowed happy characters, and a long table with vases, incense burners, etc., and a few six-sided lacquered stools. Although it is neat and there should be, it can be seen that the workmanship of the wood is only very average.

After a while, Ma Shi came in with a brass kettle and said, "I'm really sorry, there is no good tea, my sister can just warm her stomach." Poured a cup of hot tea for Lin Jinrong, handed over a plate of melon seeds, and before he could say two words, someone gently knocked on the window twice, Ma stood up and walked out in a hurry: "I'm afraid that something is wrong, the fourth sister sits slowly." If you can't stand it, go to the bed and lie down, and then change the quilt and clean it. ”

"Sister-in-law, you're busy, don't worry about me." Lin Jinrong poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to the lychee with his own hands: "Let you come out with me in the middle of the night to blow the cold wind, and drink a cup to warm your stomach." Bring a stool and sit down. ”

"Whatever the girl says, you and your wife are not afraid, are the slaves still afraid?" Lychee thanked her for holding the teacup, sat diagonally by the charcoal basin, and said in a low voice: "This house is so quiet." ”

It seemed that she was not the only one who felt strange, Lin Jinrong gently stroked Lychee's hand. The master and servant were staring at the copper charcoal basin in a daze, and they didn't know how long it took, and suddenly they heard a cry outside. Then Chunya walked in with a pale face and said, "No, Mrs. let the girl sit here, don't go out, don't rush." ”

Sure enough, one foot stepped into the ghost gate, and if he couldn't get it back, he died. Lin Jinrong was silent for a moment, and sighed: "What about the child? ”

Chunya said in a low voice: "It's a girl, I heard that she is a little weak." "It turned out that when Mr. Shui came earlier, this grandmother Chang had already fainted. The needle was administered and the ginseng brought by Dow was used, but it was just to give birth to the child.

Lin Jinrong couldn't help but think secretly, in such a family, Grandma Nachang is a continuation, unless the eldest sister-in-law and eldest brother are merciful, otherwise this girl's life will be sad, but looking at the Ma family and the Lin family's young and unconcerned looks, I am afraid it will be difficult.

It didn't take long for Tao to walk in with the help of Gong's mother and Tiehuai's family, her expression was very miserable, her lips were pale, and her hands were trembling, and she could see that she was very stimulated by the scene of the right talent.

Lin Jinrong hurriedly got up and helped Tao sit in his seat, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over, he didn't know what to say, he thought about it, so he had to say: "Mother, we are also causing trouble for others if we stay here, it is better to go back first, prepare some things, and come over again when they are spread." I asked if I needed manpower, and I also pulled it out to help. ”

Dow didn't want to stay here any longer, so he complied. A few people walked outside, Lin Chang rushed over to see each other, exchanged tears, and said a lot of words of gratitude with a sad face, and Tao had to stop to comfort him a few words: "Do your best to know the destiny of heaven, and it is right to mourn by the way......"

Suddenly, I heard a shout inside, some men shouted, some women barked, mixed with dog barking, a young man in white rushed out of the inner courtyard, ran towards Tao, "Bar" knelt down, hoarse voice and shouted: "Third wife, third wife, you are merciful, save my miserable sister, I will make you a cow and a horse!" ”

Lin Jinrong could see clearly, the white clothes on this young man's body were just a filial piety dress in turn the outer clothes, and he was still holding a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes in his arms, behind him, Ma and the Lin family, and a twenty-something, similar looking, about the second young man of the Lin family rushed out, seeing this situation, they all stood still, and their expressions were a little uncomfortable.

Ma Shitie's face was blue, and he said sharply: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense without being sensible, startling the third aunt!" ”

Lin Chang looked at Tao, gritted his teeth and kicked the young man's chest, and scolded angrily: "Little animal! Get the hell out of here! Be careful of scaring your girl! ”

"He's still holding the baby!" Lin Jinrong couldn't figure out what the situation was, but he subconsciously exclaimed. saw that although the young man was kicked by Lin Chang, he still stubbornly held the baby high, staring at Tao with wide eyes, and the baby in swaddling clothes let out a faint cry like a kitten.

Lin Chang pulled the boy with a straight face: "Get in!" ”

The young man's face was as white as snow, and he said in a hoarse voice while struggling: "Third wife, third wife, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, my mother's bones are not cold......" The rest of the words were covered by Lin Chang's mouth, and Ma took the opportunity to step forward and snatch the baby over, and ran inside.

What kind of play is this playing? Dow frowned: "What's going on?" Lin Chang motioned to the two sons behind him to drag the young man in, and said with a smile: "Let the third brother and sister laugh, this child can't stand his mother's loss, he is unconscious, a little crazy, I heard that his sister is weak, I think we don't care...... Don't care, don't care. ”

Lin Dashao said with a little mockery: "But no, this is flesh and blood, who cares?" ”

The young man struggled desperately, a face that was covered was extremely distorted in the light, snowflakes fell on his head, and his face quickly turned into water and flowed down his cheeks, but he didn't feel the cold at all, just struggled desperately, a pair of eyes that looked like Jichang's grandmother kept staring at Tao and Lin Jinrong, and his eyes were sad and desperate to the extreme.

Lin Jinrong is no longer the woman who didn't know anything before, she also heard people say in the late part of her previous life, there are ruthless parents in this world who don't give birth to children, encounter fierce disasters, don't catch up, and when life is difficult, she always drowns that child in the basin. There is also a fact that we were relatively wealthy, but because of marriage and wealth, it is common to marry thickly, and the woman's dowry is often double that of the man's salary, and the parents and brothers are unwilling to share the family property, so they are also ruthless. Among them, there are sons and daughters, and daughters are the majority of those who have been drowned and abandoned.

Now Lin Chang's family obviously meets this condition very much, Bo has assets, an elderly father, two older sons born to the original match, one of them has just given birth to a son, and the other is too old to say goodbye, and he has died, leaving a minor son and a newborn daughter...... There were already weak words, and it was even more logical that he died afterwards. The boy knew something, so he took this opportunity to run out for help, and if they didn't care, the newborn baby would be killed.

If she hasn't met it, it doesn't matter, but since she has met it, she can't pretend not to know. Lin Jinrong took a step forward and said loudly: "Uncle clan, is this my third brother?" He suffered a big change when he was young, and it was inevitable that he would be a little delirious, and it happened that Mr. Shui was still there, so please ask the old man to diagnose his pulse and open a prescription? Before he could finish speaking, the young man's eyes lit up.

Lin Chang was stunned for a moment, and then ordered someone to open the door categorically: "No need, thank you for the kindness of the fourth girl, I have already troubled you too much today, and I dare not delay you any longer." If the third brother and sister are dragged down because of this, I will be a sinner, and I will send you back first. ”

His family situation is complicated, although Tao knows that there is no ground, but she is an outsider and a woman who is really not good to say, and it is even more difficult to meddle in such a thing - it involves the dispute between the wives before and after, the dispute over family property, it is endless trouble, although she can't bear it in her heart, she also pulled Lin Jinrong's hand, and nodded at Lin Chang: "No need, you are busy, let's go first." If you have something to say, the child is pitiful. ”

Lin Chang lowered his eyes and agreed casually.

Lin Jinrong was dragged out by the Tao family, watching the light in the young man's eyes slowly dim, but he never gave up the struggle, and kicked and beat wildly under the confinement of the two adult brothers, like a desperate, pitiful trapped beast.

Two beams of snow reflected the light of the snow, and the new gate gradually closed and closed, isolating the desperately struggling teenager inside, large snowflakes fell from the sky, and there was a cold wind whistling on the mountains not far away, rolling up bursts of snow and mist.

There is a feeling in this world called despair, real despair, you can see hope, it is even around you, you feel its presence, but no matter how hard you try, you can't grasp it, you can only watch it slip mercilessly between your fingers...... It is enough to taste this once in a lifetime. Lin Jinrong remembered his feelings when he heard the distant relative of the Lu family tell her that Lu Lu had fled with his parents first, and thought of himself who was struggling desperately in the river, and his eyes couldn't help but be slightly wet.

She grabbed Tao's arm tightly and begged bitterly: "Mother, let's come too, just be a good person to the end, figure out what's going on, right?" I felt that something was really wrong, and the clan uncle said that he had told him not to hurt the child, but he still kicked him at all, without worrying at all...... Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, even if it is really a misunderstanding, it is good to figure it out, so as to save yourself from not being able to sleep at night, and regretting it later. He and this child are not protected by their mother, which is pitiful. If his family treats this child well, he will not complain about us, but if he has a bad heart, we will do good deeds and accumulate virtues, I beg you......"

I don't know if it was Lin Jinrong's last sentence "It's strange and pitiful without my mother's protection" that moved Tao, Tao hesitated for a long time, his brows furrowed and loosened, and discussed with Gong's mother in a low voice: "Since you can't pretend to be deaf and dumb when you meet it, why don't you ask?" It's really not good, I'll invite this girl's nurse for him. That doesn't cost much either. ”

Mother Gong's expression was very embarrassed: "Good wife, although this is doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, but it is also endless troubles, who knows ...... in the future" She was still unfinished, but it meant that doing good deeds and accumulating virtue should also be done according to one's ability.

-------------------- a little explanation, the words of the table money---------------------------

Please don't question it, this custom of not having children is well documented.

This situation was very popular in the Song Dynasty, especially in Fujian, and it also existed in relatively wealthy places such as Jiangnan East Road and Liangzhejiang Road, which was a very serious social problem.

"Child" refers not only to men but also to women, and female infanticide is more serious than male infants, mainly due to disasters in the year, lack of success, and difficult life. There is also a kind of family because of the old age, facing the problem of property division, and the parents and brothers are unwilling to have more children to divide the family property. As for the drowning of female infants, it is because in addition to the traditional patriarchal thinking, they are also unwilling to raise daughters because of the purpose of marriage and wealth, and they are unwilling to divide the family property.
