"Isn't my mother dead and buried in Eagle Gully?"

Xi Menglan forced her chaotic emotions, looked at Aunt Hua, and asked with a confused face.

Aunt Hua sat on the steps and sighed, waved her hand, and looked at the person on the bed, the corners of her eyes moistened.

Seeing that Aunt Hua did not continue to speak, Xi Menglan slowly walked to the side of the bed, looked at the lying person, and had mixed feelings in her heart, saying that she was her mother, but she had no impression in her mind.

"Why is she in the cellar?"

Xi Menglan's brain was blank, and she didn't know what to say now, so she looked at the person on the bed and said in a daze.

Aunt Hua hid her face and cried bitterly, her body kept shaking, and she didn't say anything.

Kou Juncheng walked to Ximenglan's side and patted Ximenglan on the shoulder.

"Send Aunt Hua and the others to the house first, and ask the rest slowly."

Xi Menglan didn't have a better idea, looked at Kou Juncheng and nodded.

Kou Juncheng carried the two of them into the house, Xi Menglan looked at the woman lying on the kang, her face was calm, she sighed with the basin of water, and slowly lifted the woman's quilt.

"She's got a broken leg, don't use too much force."

Aunt Hua was lying next to her, her voice trembled, and she raised her hand and tugged at the corner of Xi Menglan's clothes and instructed.

Broken leg?

Xi Menglan looked at the legs, slender and straight, typical chopstick legs, and couldn't help but remember what Meng Dong had said to herself before, she was broken by her grandfather because she ran away from marriage, so she married Lao Mengtou aggrievedly.

Holding the towel, Xi Menglan's hand stopped in mid-air, thinking about messy things, her memories were chaotic and complicated, looking at the strange and familiar woman, she finally moved and wiped the dust on her face for her.

"Aunt Hua just told me that there is medicine in the cabinet to heal the wounds, I'll go boil it, and then I'll go back home and see Dong'er and Dad."

Although Kou Juncheng was at Aunt Hua's house, he was still worried about the affairs of that courtyard, and he couldn't rest assured about Dong'er.

"Go ahead, alas wait."

Xi Menglan waved her hand, and suddenly thought of something and stopped Kou Juncheng.

"Don't tell your father about her yet."

Xi Menglan pointed to the woman next to her, her tone was very light, and it was hard to guess what she was thinking.

Kou Juncheng nodded, he understood what Ximenglan meant, and he also knew what Ximenglan was worried about.

After Kou Juncheng left, Xi Menglan wiped the woman's body, and when she touched the fault of her knee, she chuckled in her heart and withdrew her hand.

"It was broken alive by your grandfather, the bones stood up, and there was no doctor to treat it, so he fell into the root of the disease and became like this."

Although Aunt Hua next to her spoke in a small voice, the words were clear, and Xi Menglan felt that the scene of breaking her leg appeared in front of her eyes, and she frowned suddenly.

How much hurt must have it been at that time!!

Xi Menglan tugged at her heart, carefully wiped her body, deliberately let herself not think about her knees, and did not touch it, but the more she didn't want to think about it, the more involuntarily her eyes looked, and this look was uncomfortable like scratching her heart and scratching her liver.

"Why did you run away from marriage?"

Xi Menglan looked at the woman with her eyes closed, if it weren't for the heaving of her chest and ruddy complexion, she really thought that the person lying in front of her now was a dead person.

Aunt Hua listened to Xi Menglan's question, her face slowly sank, dragged the edge of the kang next to her, sat up and leaned against the wall with difficulty, covered her right leg with her hand in pain, and gasped.

"Aunt ...... Flowers"

Xi Menglan screamed worriedly, but Aunt Hua waved her hand to indicate that she was okay, let out a long sigh, and fell into memory

"Your mother's name is Song Meiyun, when she was more than ten years old, she was tall and outstanding, she really responded to her name, one word, beauty! Your mother also knows that she is a beauty from ten miles and eight towns, and her heart is getting higher and higher. ”

When Aunt Hua said this, she paused, looked at Song Meiyun who was lying next to her, and smacked her lips.

Xi Menglan didn't know what she meant, so she didn't dare to interject, and waited quietly for her to continue.

"Seeing that she is twenty-two, she is the eldest girl in the village, your grandfather and you can't sleep day and night, and ask matchmakers everywhere to protect the media, but everyone knows your mother's character, and no one comes to the door to say kiss, so it will drag on for three years, I remember her when she was twenty-five......"

Before Aunt Hua finished speaking, she heard the sound of the door opening outside, and Kou Juncheng walked in after a while.

"When she was twenty-five years old, when she went to the county seat, she met a newspaper, saying that it was a reporter, no one knew it, she was clear-eyed and beautiful, and the two fell in love at first sight, but at this time at this time, the family was on the matchmaker, and in front of your grandfather and your grandmother, she said a family matter, and then your grandfather agreed, and when your mother came back, she knew about it, and turned the family upside down, and finally on the day of marriage, she fled with the newspaper."

When Aunt Hua said this, she saw that Xi Menglan suddenly choked up, and her eyes became strange, as if there was something she couldn't say.

"And then?"

Xi Menglan was anxious when she heard this, and looked at Aunt Hua and asked.

Aunt Hua hesitated for a long time before she slowly spoke.

"Later, the in-laws who said that they were relatives ran away with someone else because of their new daughter-in-law, and there was a lot of uproar in the village, and the in-laws couldn't hold their face, and they drank brine and died, and your grandfather knew about it and brought your mother back, and he broke his leg directly."

When she heard this, the towel in Xi Menglan's hand fell on the edge of the basin with a snap, and she looked at the woman on the kang with a confused face, she really couldn't imagine that this was the case.

"Since this incident, no one has come to the matchmaker, and the man from the newspaper has disappeared, and then I don't know how, your grandfather came to the door and asked your grandfather if the girl was willing to marry, and your grandfather and grandmother must be happy to hear someone ask for kisses, and there is not much dowry, and your mother is married."

Hearing this, Xi Menglan felt aggrieved in her heart, but she didn't say anything.

"At that time, your grandfather's family was poor, and your father couldn't talk about his daughter-in-law, and I heard that there was a big girl in your grandmother's family, so I didn't care about her gossip, so I went to the door and said something, but I didn't expect it to be true."

After Aunt Hua finished speaking, she looked at Song Meiyun on the kang and shook her head.

"Originally, she had been safe and stable all her life, but the current situation was all caused by herself, and she couldn't complain about others, and your father married her, and she didn't suffer less."

Aunt Hua originally hated Meng Tiande and scolded her, but hearing her suddenly say this, Xi Menglan and Kou Juncheng both muttered in their hearts, glanced at each other, and looked at Aunt Hua in unison.

"Although your father was not handsome and chic before, he was also an iron-clad man, and he can become like this, alas, ......"

Aunt Hua waved her hand, didn't say anything down, looked at Song Meiyun, and sighed.
