Chapter 101: The Uninvited Guest

When Li's mother was brought back by Uncle Gui, Shanniang was reading a book upstairs. When she heard the news of the five blessings, she immediately threw away the book, threw herself on the railing and looked downstairs.

I saw Uncle Gui leading a gray-haired old woman into the Spring Garden. Shanniang couldn't help but wonder for a while, so she raised her voice and shouted, "Uncle Gui? ”

Uncle Gui stood and looked upstairs. The old woman who followed him also suddenly looked up at Shanniang, and Shanniang realized that the "old woman" with gray hair on her head was actually her nurse Li's mother.

"Nurse?!" Shanniang couldn't help but scream, and then hurried downstairs.

And Mother Li saw Shanniang's still limping movement at a glance, and immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth, and sobbed silently.

When Shanniang ran downstairs, she saw that her nurse had cried uncontrollably and collapsed on the ground, while kowtowing vigorously on the brick floor, and within a few strokes, blood was seen on the brain.

When Uncle Gui saw it, he hurried over to pull Mother Li up, but he couldn't pull her.

Shanniang also hurriedly rushed over, hugged her nurse in time before Mother Li knocked herself unconscious, and asked Mother Li in a trembling voice, "Nurse, why did you become like this?" ”

Speaking of Li's mother, she is only thirty years old now, and she has a black hair, she can't imagine it, but after a few months, Li's mother's black hair has become so gray.

She hugged Li's mother and couldn't help crying.

As soon as she cried here, Mother Li held back a little tears, pushed Shanniang away, kowtowed hard at her, and said: "I don't have the face to see the girl anymore, but Gui Ye said that the girl's legs are ......" She choked a little, and kowtowed three times to Shanniang, crying: "I have nothing else to pay for the girl, only this cheap life." But how can the girl's leg be worth my life? I wanted to die, but Gui Ye said that instead of me dying, it would be better to live to be a cow and a horse for the girl. I know that I don't have the face to say this anymore, and now, the girl is angry with me again, and she doesn't want to see me anymore, and I just beg the girl to keep me. I don't ask for anything else, I just want to be able to watch the girl's safety from afar, and to do something for the girl every day, and I will be satisfied......"

As he spoke, he kowtowed again.

Shanniang hurriedly rushed over and hugged Li's mother, crying, "When did I blame the nurse?" It's not the nurse's fault......"

"It's all my fault," the nurse cried, "I knew that I should have listened to the girl's advice, but I never thought that he would hit the girl with his idea and harm the girl's life," and touched Shanniang's leg with a trembling hand and cried: "The girl's leg is ......."

Shanniang was a little cried by Mother Li at this time. The whole family knew that her leg was improving, and this lame leg was only temporary, listening to Li's mother's meaning, it seemed that she thought she was going to be lame for the rest of her life.

She looked up at Uncle Gui. Uncle Gui suddenly made a gesture at her. Shanniang was guessing what Uncle Gui meant, when she suddenly heard a low pant from Mother Li, and the whole person fell backwards. Shanniang was startled, looked down, and found that Mother Li had fainted from crying. She panicked.

Uncle Gui hurriedly came over, probed Li's mother's pulse, and comforted Shanniang and said, "It's just too tired, and I'm too excited to see the girl, I can't stand it for a while." Saying that, he ordered someone to invite a doctor, and ordered someone to carry Mother Li into the house, and then turned around and smiled at Shanniang: "The girl doesn't know, this Mother Li is really stubborn, no matter how I persuade her, she refuses to come back, only saying that she will not have the face to see the master and the girl again." Later, I had no choice but to lie to her that the girl's leg would not be cured. This time, she agreed to come back. ”

Shanniang asked, "Where did you find her?" What is she doing? Why did she become like this after only a few months of not seeing each other? ”

Uncle Gui folded his hands and sighed: "The girl's nurse is also a fierce person." After Li Da died, she ran to the neighboring town alone, and made a living by helping people sew and wash, but she always remembered the girl in her heart, but it was not good news at that time, and she was tormented by a gray hair. After a pause, he sneered, "Tell Miss Sù another strange thing." ”

But it turned out that although the Li family was poor, they were a big family in the local area. Li's family earned a little family business because of the blood and sweat of Li's mother, making this family a medium household in the clan. Li Da died so disgracefully, and there was no child behind him, so the family property was calculated by the people of the clan. And although Li's mother did not give birth, in fact, Li Da had an illegitimate child outside. After her mother-in-law had a fight with the clansmen, she turned her mind to the matter of succession, wanting to force Li's mother to recognize the illegitimate child. Li's mother has been oppressed by her mother-in-law and husband all her life, and her mother-in-law thought that this matter could be easily done, but she didn't want Li's mother to resist her mother-in-law for the first time in her life, gritted her teeth and refused to nod, and even went directly to the clan to fight Li Da, a dead ghost. The clan was eager to hear this, not only agreeing with Li's mother and the dead Li Dayi, but also removing the Li family......

Shanniang couldn't help but sneer when she heard this, "They're not good people!" He sighed again, "If my mother had listened to me, she wouldn't have ......."

Uncle Gui shook his head for a while and sighed, "What if you listen to the girl earlier?" is that she can really take advantage of our family's momentum to leave Li Dahe, and she has a stain on her body after all. She is the girl's nurse, if she asks others to talk about it, I am afraid that even the girl will be affected by her. Let's just say now, if I hadn't forced her with words, I was afraid that she would not come to see the girl again, if not for anything else, but because I was afraid that her current identity would smear the girl and make people say the girl's right and wrong. Speaking of which, where did she endure it for herself, but she thought too much, afraid that she would affect others. ”

Shanniang was silent for a while. She always felt that the nurse did not dare to resist her husband because she was used to Li Da's way of treating her, afraid of change, and afraid of other people's rumors, but it was the first time she thought about it from another angle.

She suddenly looked up at Uncle Gui.

Uncle Gui was uncomfortable with her for a while, turned sideways and smiled, "What is the girl looking at me like this?" ”

Shanniang said: "I didn't expect that you would be my nurse's bosom friend." How do you know my nurse thinks like this? ”

Uncle Gui was silent and sighed: "I have a sister who is very similar to her, she looks supple and cowardly, but in fact, she thinks more about others than herself." After a pause, he suddenly sighed again: "They forget that no one else is a three-year-old child, and they don't need to sacrifice themselves so much to protect others......"

While he was talking, the doctor came.

Sure enough, the doctor's diagnosis also said that Li's mother fainted due to depression and overwork. When Uncle Gui sent the doctor out, Shanniang comforted Li's mother in the house for a while, and explained that her leg was only temporarily lame, but Li's mother didn't believe it, so she only cried and begged Shanniang for forgiveness. Shanniang had no choice, so she had to follow Uncle Gui's approach and said with a smile: "In this case, the nurse will stay by my side for the rest of her life to make cattle and horses for me." ”

As soon as she said this, Li's mother quickly calmed down. After another day, Mother Li cleaned herself up, and went back to Shanniang's side on an errand as usual, and it seemed that except for an extra head of gray hair, she could no longer see that she had suffered such an accident-by the way, and she seemed to have more unexplained jealousy and fear of Uncle Gui.

Although Mother Li's expression is as usual, Shanniang knows that she, the nurse, is a person with a heavy heart. But she wanted to persuade Mother Li, but some things could not be solved in a few words, and now she can only hope that with the passage of time, the nurse herself will gradually relax her mind.

*・*・*

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be my wife's birthday.

This year, my wife was thirty-five years old. Although it is not a full birthday, the lord wants to make a big deal because this is his first birthday after reconciling with his wife. As soon as Mrs. Bi thought of socializing with others, she immediately turned white with fright and waved her hand and refused. Although the lord was unwilling, he had to change the planned feast to a family banquet, and only said that his family was lively. Because he felt sorry for his wife's hard work, and now Shanniang didn't have to go to school, the master simply asked his wife to be idle, and even handed over the family affairs to Shanniang to prepare.

Therefore, the "nature of people is difficult to move", that is, Shanniang has been clamoring to be an idler when she came out of the West Garden, in fact, she has never really been idle, and she is not the kind of person who can be idle. The months of being trapped in the hospital bed have already made her so idle that her bones are itching, and when the master mentioned it, she took over this errand without giving up—not to mention that now that everything at home has already been handled smoothly, she didn't need to worry about it.

On the day of his wife's birthday, Shanniang rarely got up early in the morning without lying in bed. After greeting the old lady early in the morning, the family was having breakfast together, and Uncle Gui came in with a persistent post, saying that it was the wife's maiden brother, Yao San and Yao San's grandmother and his wife came to visit.

Mrs. lost her mother since she was a child, and her stepmother was not a kind person, so she was actually treated harshly when she was in her mother's house, and her relationship with her half-brother Yao San was not very close. Even after Mrs. Yao passed away, every time Mrs. sent back a gift from her wife, her mother's family didn't even hear from her, and she looked like she wanted to cut off contact with her wife. In the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the Yao family rushed back to the festival on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now the Yao San husband and wife, who have never been in contact, actually chose the day of his wife's birthday to visit, and the wife couldn't help but look at the fifth master worriedly.

The old man immediately remembered what Yuan Changqing said on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the Yao family sent a gift gift.

His eyes flashed, he put down his chopsticks, and didn't ask the Yao family, but asked Uncle Gui first: "Is Changsheng here?" ”

Yuan Changqing hasn't arrived yet.

The fifth master said: "Ask someone to urge it." Then he put his hands behind his back and went out to greet the guests.

The third master Yao was four or five years younger than his wife, short and chubby, and looked like a businessman who was kind and wealthy. Seeing the fifth master come out, the third master Yao quickly squeezed out a smile that made money and made money, and stepped forward to greet the fifth master with two steps, while saying: "Brother-in-law is well." ”

The fifth master had already had an opinion about the Yao family in his heart, so he squinted at the third master Yao and said, "Forgive me for being clumsy, I can't recognize which one you are." ”

The third master Yao couldn't imagine that the fifth master would be so faceless, he was stunned, and said with a smile: "Little brother Yao Min, I haven't seen you for a few years, and my brother-in-law doesn't remember me." ”

The fifth master snorted coldly, "It's natural not to remember." I remember that since I married your sister, I haven't seen anyone from your Yao family come to the door, and if it weren't for the fact that there are still people who receive the gifts that are sent every year, I almost thought that your Yao family was dead. ”

The fifth master was only trying to vent his anger for a while, and he didn't notice that after hearing his words, the third master Yao's eyes suddenly became strange. And if the fifth master knew what the third master Yao was thinking at this moment, I am afraid that his nose would be crooked.
