(crescent moon) raise a child as a daughter-in-law
This one...... I don't remember the name, but I remember her surname was Jiang. Xu Shimason thought for a moment and then said.
Ginger? Grandpa asked.
Xu stonemason smiled and said, it's Jiang.
Grandpa asked, what are you laughing at?
Xu Stonemason said, "The reason why I remember her surname is because my father used to tell me when he was alive that this ginger character looks like a woman hanging on the beam of the house. If my father hadn't said that, I wouldn't have remembered her last name now.
At that time, most of the houses could see the beams, and as the saying goes, "the hanging beams commit suicide", that is, hanging on the beams. It's okay if the stonemason doesn't say it, but my grandfather still thinks he has a bit of an image when he says this.
Grandpa said that Jiang Ke is an ancient surname, thousands of years old. Shennong's surname is Jiang.
Xu Shimason said, I didn't laugh at this surname, I couldn't help it when I remembered my father's words.
How can someone from your cousin's side have the surname Jiang? Isn't the surname Jiang in Jiangjiadong? It's more than twenty miles from your cousin's side. Grandpa asked with a frown.
Xu Shimason said that many people know that she grew up there, but it has been so long that almost no one knows that she is a child daughter-in-law, and she was brought here from Jiangjiadong not long after she was born.
Xu Stonemason is the same age as his grandfather, and Xu Stonemason's father is older. In the time of Xu Mason's father, the phenomenon of child brides was commonplace. There are probably two situations of child brides, one is that their own families are too poor to support so many children, so they foster girls in other people's homes. Foster care costs money and food rations, so when the girl grows up, she will directly be the daughter-in-law of that family, and she will be a member of that family from the beginning; In order to save the dowry, I spent a little money to buy a seven or eight-year-old girl early, and raised it with my son.
In general, this child daughter-in-law will have a marriage with a man who has already been booked when she is old.
It turned out to be a child daughter-in-law. Do you remember anything other than the name? Grandpa then asked.
Xu Mason thought about it again and said, I remember that my father said that the reason why this woman surnamed Jiang hanged herself was because she had to wait for someone.
Grandpa was shocked. This statement is almost exactly the same as the statement of the crescent moon. Suddenly, my grandfather felt that his crooked father's words were not just casually said.
How can someone hang someone else? Grandpa asked quietly.
Xu Shimason said, you can ask the right person, others may think she is crazy, but when I heard these things from my father, I felt that this woman is not crazy. The surnamed Jiang said that she had been waiting for more than ten years and could not wait any longer. If she waits any longer, first, her appearance will get old, and she won't know the person she is waiting for, and second, she is about to have a house with the man in the family, and she can't wait.
Do you know who she's waiting for? Grandpa asked.
Xu Stonemason shook his head and said, Then I don't know. No one knew who she was waiting for.
Grandpa asked, when did she start saying that she was going to wait for someone?
Xu Stonemason said, "Oh, I guess I can answer this question among the living people." My father was worried that it was the problem of the grinding plate, and after the woman hanged herself, he went around asking the bottom of the matter, and when he came home, he kept reading it. My father went and asked her when she went crazy. Someone told him that this woman was fine, but once she suddenly stood in ...... Oh, by the way, it's the spot in front of your son-in-law's house, where there are a few peach trees, and there's a pear tree next to the peach tree. Then she looked at the peach tree and the pear tree, and then at the pear tree, and suddenly she jumped up with joy, and said to the people next to her, that she remembered that someone was coming here to find her.
