Chapter 279: Dusty Past
"I want to ...... You should have heard something about me, I used to be a street kid. When I was eight years old, I almost died of starvation on a snowy day. Luckily, I met your grandfather, and he rescued me back home. Your grandfather was fifteen years old. People, living under one roof, will definitely have feelings over time......"
The third aunt's tone suddenly paused when she said this, and Mu Ke'er took the opportunity to interject: "So when you grew up, you had a crush on my grandfather." So you did everything you could to obstruct my grandfather and grandma's marriage, so on their wedding night, you cheated on my grandfather? ”
Mu Ke'er was already a little excited when she spoke, it seems that these words, no, it should be said that some resentment may have been gathering in her heart for a long time. Lin Yulan was deeply surprised again, but she didn't expect Mu Ke'er to break the huge news at home. I've known her for more than ten years, and I've never heard of these things. It's not surprising if you think about it, family ugliness can't be publicized! No one would make a big deal about this kind of thing, not to mention that it was all about the elders.
Listening to Mu Ke'er's words, her third aunt's grandmother's face immediately turned gloomy, her lips trembled slightly, and she seemed to be really angry.
"Where did you hear that? Disinformation! Slander! Insult! ”
The third aunt and grandmother were already furious, Mu Ke'er blinked her eyes, and she didn't know what to say for a while. Although she had heard a lot of bad words from her grandmother before, at this moment she suddenly felt that the old man in front of her was also very pitiful. Maybe it's because of her angry expression at the moment, maybe it's because of her slightly trembling lips, so that the kind-hearted Mu Keer can feel pity and sympathy.
"Are you really innocent?"
Sympathy is sympathy, but Mu Keer is curious and still wants to verify it. Lin Yulan and the female ghost Qi Shuangling also want to hear a story, maybe it's a habit they have developed since dealing with ghosts.
The third aunt's anger was slightly restrained, and she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to tell the story......
"Your grandfather was a cowardly man who did not dare to admit his emotions and disobey his parents. How many times have I cried in front of him for this, I lived in the countryside at that time, let alone divorced, even if I divorced, I would be laughed at by others. In this way, he stuck to the idea of "not dishonoring the door", followed the orders of his parents, and married your grandmother and had children. I also watched me marry a fool and ruin my own life. Later, I found a famous teacher and learned some skills to survive. ”
"Wait, wait, please don't change the subject. I just want to hear the story of the night my grandparents spent candles in the cave, no, that day. ”
Mu Ke'er suddenly interrupted the words of the third aunt and grandmother, and Lin Yulan felt like laughing at her interests. The female ghost Qi Shuangling directly slapped Mu Ke'er with a ghost palm, and smiled with a complicated expression. Mu Ke'er had no intention of meeting Lin Yulan and the female ghost, she still stared at the third aunt and grandmother looking forward to the following.
The third aunt and grandmother changed their words and returned to that night......
"That day, all the guests were gone. I crept out of the window of their new house, picked up a pebble and threw it at the window. The red paper on the window immediately broke a hole, maybe it was because of the heart, your grandfather immediately knew that I was outside the window. He's out......"
"Yes, yes, that's what you call having a heart! Hehe, I'm like that little boy like this! Every time I show up outside his cave, he'll know ......"
The female ghost next to the third aunt and grandmother suddenly revealed the essence of the second goods, and these words made Mu Keer laugh. Lin Yulan and the female ghost Qi Shuangling also laughed a little nervously.
"Oh, why did I accept such a stupid apprentice as you? Fast! Go back to the next room and talk to the younger siblings. ”
The third aunt and grandmother angrily scolded the stupid female ghost, and from the meaning of the words, Lin Yulan and the others knew that this person was a ghost, and it was a master-apprentice relationship. Moreover, to Lin Yulan's surprise, there was a group of ...... next door So is it a human or a ghost? It's not all like that, right? Thinking of this, Lin Yulan and the female ghost Qi Shuangling glanced at each other, and reached a consensus with each other - to find a chance to go to the next room to have a look.
The female ghost didn't dare to refute in front of the third aunt and grandmother, so she obediently walked out of the room. The third aunt sighed again, eased her emotions again, and continued.
"That day, my brother came out and left his new wife behind. You know? I was very happy at the time, it was the excitement of being a woman when she defeated her rival for the first time. We walked to the small river in the village......"
When the third aunt and grandmother said this, there was an unconcealable excitement on her face.
By the river? Hehe, Lin Yulan really wanted to ask, "Is your name Xiaofang?" It sounded like a very romantic story, and she was more interested in listening to it. Mu Ke'er suddenly showed a trace of displeasure, after all, the rival in love that the third aunt and grandmother said was someone else's own grandmother! The family affection that blood is thicker than water is always greater than everything. Still, she could listen quietly.
The third aunt continued......
"Third sister, since the matter is a foregone conclusion, you and I can't reverse it. Brother hopes that you will get along with your sister-in-law in the future......"
"Brother, why are you so cowardly? You're a coward! I've liked you since I was eighteen years old, and for five years, we've been to this little river countless times, and you've made countless promises to me, but why did you still agree to be engaged to her? Why did you still agree to marry her? What do you say? You're giving me a reason, huh? Woohoo......"
"Third sister, don't cry! Don't be so childish, your love for my brother, my brother will always remember it. Just ......"
"It's just that you can't divorce her, can you? But you don't have a round house yet, and it doesn't hurt to let her go back to her parents' house now! She is still a yellow flower girl, and she can find another good person to marry. Then, let's kneel down and beg my father and mother to agree to our marriage. If the second elder doesn't agree, let's go away. ”
"No, you can't do that. Even then, she became a second marriage! Spreading the word always damages her reputation, who is willing to marry a good man? ”
"You...... Are you afraid of damaging her reputation? What about me? What about the baby in my belly? Have you ever thought about it? ”
When the story was heard here, Mu Ke'er was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall out. Child? The third aunt and grandmother actually have a child? Mu Keer immediately exerted her extraordinary imagination, shouldn't there be a big reversal in this plot? Oh my God, if that kid is ......
Mu Ke'er didn't dare to think about it, if her relationship with this third aunt and grandmother went to a higher level...... She couldn't guarantee that she would accept it?
The third aunt didn't seem to pay attention to Mu Keer's emotions at all, and she continued to talk about the romantic reunion by the river. Decades have passed, but it feels like yesterday. It is impossible to forget a deep emotion.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault! I shouldn't have done that to you, brother, I'm sorry for you...... Syllable! Syllable! ”
"Brother, don't beat yourself, if you want to hit me, hit me. It's all because I can't help but be nice to you, I'll leave tomorrow and find a place where no one knows about giving birth to this baby. ”
At this point in the story, the third aunt and grandmother paused again, probably thinking of the sadness.
"And then?"
Mu Keer asked.
"Later, your grandfather's newlywed wife came to the river......"
