Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Guilty Fool
"Good! I'll go. Li Wenshan jumped up and hugged Li Xia off the table first.
"Wait!" Li Xia patted his brother's head, "You go to Mr. Qin first, borrow ten taels of silver from him, and give the silver to Mama Hong, so that she can use it for some people, and it is easy to do things with money." ”
Mama Hong sent Li Wenshan away, squeezing the bag of loose silver tightly, her heart was hot one after another, and her tears flowed into two lines.
Over the years, she has lost her heart to this family and to her wife.
Mrs. Zhong is not a good thing, she is dragging the master, dragging this family to her as a filial son and grandson, she will have to kill the master sooner or later, kill this big family, but the wife is three from the four virtues, only listen to the words of the master, in the eyes of the master, the best person in the world for him, is Mrs. Zhong, in the eyes of Mrs., the best person in the world, and she has become Mrs. Zhong, the master is blind, and the wife herself is not long-sighted, she says more, but the wife says that she has many evil thoughts in her heart......
She had seen it all......
Mrs. is blessed with a good life, the eldest young master is so big, so his eyes are bright and his heart is bright, so capable......
Mama Hong checked the bag of broken silver again, the eldest young master is so big, he is so clear and transparent, and he knows the world like this...... This is really a great blessing for the wife.
Mama Hong opened her purse, picked out two small pieces of broken silver, and hid the purse, and went out to the back kitchen to talk to Mrs. Tang.
………………
In the afternoon of the same day, Mama Zhong fell ill.
With four points of happiness, three points of guilt, three points of anxiety, and a lot of self-reproach for those four points of happiness, Mrs. Xu personally watched people invite a doctor, looked at the pulse case over and over again, boiled the medicine with her own hands, and told Li Dong to look at it.
I also asked people to take a handful of money to the temple to put a pillar of peace incense on Mama Zhong, and after a while, I went to Mama Zhong's house to say hello, and I didn't know what to do to appease my chaotic and guilty heart.
Li Xia and the sixth brother Li Wenlan sat opposite each other, tracing words in their hands, but their minds were on Xiao Jiu'er, who went back and forth to report how Mama Zhong was.
Li Xianling came back from the front office, Mrs. Xu first talked about Mama Zhong's illness, which doctor was invited, how did she say it, how was the pulse case, how she and Sister Dong decocted the medicine with their own hands, Mama Zhong only drank a small half bowl, etc., etc., everything was said again, while speaking, she looked at Li Xianling's expression.
Li Xian Ling was a little impatient when he heard half of it, straightened up and wanted to go over to take a look, and raised his eyes to see the eldest son who was staring at him on the other side, and his raised foot fell back again.
can't go, as soon as he goes, this humility will be chaotic again, for the future of Brother Shan'er, and for the future of the whole family......
Alas, it's all his fault for this, just thinking about being low-key, he didn't tell Mama about Brother Shan'er's reading, if Mama knew that it was for Brother Shan'er's good...... How can you still account for these?
For him, for this family, Mama is willing to do anything, and even her life can be sacrificed......
Mrs. Xu saw that Li Xianling just hummed and ordered the meal, but she didn't do it as before, as soon as she heard that Mama Zhong was sick, she had to go over immediately, she didn't eat or drink tea, and waited in front of the bed in person like a filial son, she was surprised, happy and apprehensive, suppressing her emotions that were so complicated that she couldn't figure it out at all, and tried to put on a peaceful face.
Li Xia looked at Daddy, who looked worried and anxious but thought he was frozen, and then looked at Auntie, who was six points happy and four points worried, but also felt that she had a peaceful face, and sighed in her heart, her father and her mother are a pair of honest people!
Li Xianling ate patiently, taught Li Wenshan a few more words, and commented on a few more Li Wenlan's words, and then said that he wanted to go out for a walk.
Seeing her father go out with his hands behind his back and a serious face, Li Xia quietly glanced at Li Wenshan, Li Wenshan hurriedly stood up, excused himself to go back to study, and went out.
Li Xia quietly slid down, slipped out of the door with the shadow of the lamp, and was grabbed by Li Wenshan as soon as he ran a few steps.
"Daddy ...... over there" Li Wenshan's eyes flashed with excited gossip, and he pointed to the upper room where Mama Zhong lived next to him.
As soon as Ah Xia made a look, he knew what she meant, and he must follow Ah Daddy to see what he did.
Li Xia nodded again and again, signaling himself to go ahead, the two of them bent on their waists, one in front of the other, sneakily slipped to the porch of Mama Zhong's main room, slipped under the window and listened to the movement.
“…… I know, I'm old and useless, your family thinks I'm an eyesore, I know ......" It was Mama Zhong who suppressed her sadness and cried in a voice, "Wait a minute, I'll go home, what do I want in my life?" As long as you are good, how many of you are good, what do I ask for? You don't have to do this, I'll go home and ...... when it's ready."
"Auntie, don't say that, it's me...... It's all my fault, I didn't make it clear to my aunt. Li Xianling's voice was urgent and painful.
"Auntie, I was raised by you, what kind of person am I, you know best, how can my aunt think like this? It's not that my aunt doesn't know, in my heart, I see you as my own mother, it's better to be born than to raise your body, you are my aunt, how dare I ......"
Mama Zhong cried, "Brother Ming, if it weren't for you, when your mother died, I would have died headlong, all for you, in those years, in order to protect you to grow up, how much hardship I have suffered, nine deaths......
Your mother's life is hard, my life is a hundred times more bitter than your mother, those years, I cried behind people's backs all day long, how good it would be if I died for your mother, a hundred deaths, life is bitter...... It's all my life......
Don't worry, I'll go home, I'm alive, just for your good, you ...... You think it's good, I'm in your way, I'll go...... You are also older, you have a daughter-in-law and a son, and the family is affectionate, not alone in your early years...... I'll go home, you have a daughter-in-law and a son......"
Mama Zhong was chattering and crying loudly and lowly, very miserable.
"Auntie, how can your son stand it like this?" Li Xianling also began to cry, and the muffled sound of his knees hitting the ground was sandwiched in his crying voice.
Li Xia hurriedly motioned for Li Wenshan to look inside, Li Wenshan glanced at it, and motioned to Li Xia: Their father knelt down.
"It's all my son's fault, I didn't make it clear to my aunt." Li Xianling cried.
"Auntie, you heard your son say that your son doesn't dislike his aunt at all, if there is, let your son thunder and thunder! Auntie, you heard your son say that today's incident is your son's fault, and your son should tell your aunt first, Auntie, it's all for Brother Shan'er......"
Li County Commander explained in detail how Li Wenshan won the blue eye of King Qin, how he was invited by King Qin to study at Wansong Academy, how Luo Shuaisi specially allocated the minister's money because Brother Shan was invited by King Qin to study, and how Brother Shan'er would be unlimited in the future.
“…… Aunt, the emperor loves the prince the most, the younger brother, the queen mother is famous for her virtues, aunt, Brother Shan has the blue eyes of the prince, and the future is limitless, and he will never waste half his life like his son...... It's all because the son has no ability, so he ...... I have been wronged by my aunt all these years. ”
