On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the city took Layue and Juan Niang to pay New Year's greetings to her mother, the old lady gave her grandson a big red envelope, Juan Niang handed over the child to the nurse next to her, and sat down with the city of Layue.

Just as he was talking about his grandson's name, the person outside the door handed in a post with an unkind look, Zhicheng took it first, and then hesitated for a moment with a gloomy face, and was forced to ask by his mother before he whispered, "It's a letter from Ma Laoer, my sister was born at dinner last night, and it's a daughter." ”

It should have been good news, but the child's path was a shame, so after hearing the news, the room was quiet, and no one was silent for a long time.

If it was in the past, Juan Niang would smile and play a round to relieve the embarrassment in order to please, but now her mind is not in this family, and she is even more grateful to Layue in her heart, and she is also cold to Zhicheng, this man is not a good match. Therefore, at this time, she was so focused on the child that she didn't even look at her mother-in-law and the city.

The city couldn't see it, coughed lightly, and said, "Ma Lao Er also said, let's see if we went over to bring the child over, or if he sent the child over." ”

It's so embarrassing, Zhicheng blushed after speaking. The old lady was okay, took a sip, and scolded, "This Ma Er, when he is really a conscienceless thing, how rich was the dowry of the late Qing at the beginning, at this time, the New Year is coming, and when the full moon comes, can't it?" ”

Layue sneered in her heart, she is not someone else's child, people hide it so much and say that Wanqing is sick and can't see people, just waiting to secretly give birth to a child and throw it away, so that her daughter-in-law can "recover" and see people, and wait for the child to be full moon, such a big green hat with her head buttoned, who can stand it every day?

Smiled again, there are really people who can stand it, isn't the city? But speaking of which, Juan Niang doesn't know what to think? Is it also waiting for the full moon to elope with your lover?

She was thinking nonsense, so she listened to her mother-in-law and the city shouting dissatisfied. The mother-in-law's voice was full of disgust, "Isn't it a good word to go!" ”

What to go or not to go? She looked at Zhicheng in confusion, and Zhicheng glanced at the dissatisfied oblique wax moon, and said the embarrassing words again angrily, "Ma Lao Er's end can't be like this, you should go over and take a look anyway, my mother means to let you go over and have a look, tell me what we mean," he let out a sigh of relief, helpless and angry, "Of course, I will also accompany you." ”

Go, why don't you go, Layue really wants to take a good look at what this sister-in-law looks like now. In her previous life, she died in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and now that her child was also born at this time, it is natural to visit. Moreover, she still has something to say to Zhang Wanqing.

Yecheng customs, the first day of the Lunar New Year is not allowed to go out to pay New Year's greetings except for their own home, the next day is the day when the girl and son-in-law of the family go back to their parents' house to pay New Year's greetings, and the third day of the new year begins to go to relatives.

My own girl gave birth to a child and couldn't go back to her parents' house, and the second brother and sister-in-law of the junior high school went to visit without a bad number of courtesy, and the city of Layue went with a bunch of supplements, and the city looked very strange along the way.

When they arrived at Ma Laoer's house, they said hello, wished each other a safe and healthy New Year, and after being polite, Layue proposed to go to see her sister. She expected early on that Zhicheng would definitely cherish her face and refuse to see Zhang Wanqing, and the women in the confinement also avoided it in Yecheng, and they didn't see men other than their husbands, and the big families didn't even see their fathers-in-law.

Sure enough, Zhicheng sat in the living room and ate tea after a few words of Layue. Ma Lao Er has no scholars at home, and he can't find anyone who can accompany him during the Chinese New Year, but fortunately, the eldest brother doesn't care about this, and says, "You go by yourself, I'm used to being clean alone, and it's more interesting to pour myself a drink." ”

On the way, Layue took advantage of no one to secretly ask Ma Lao Er about the situation, Ma Lao Er smiled proudly, "Mrs. Xing, you can rest assured, our son will listen to you when he tells me, the little one has a count in his heart, you can just look at it." ”

Sure enough, she knew it at a glance, and Layue was satisfied and let Ma Lao Er wait outside, and stepped into a dilapidated thatched house in the corner of the Ma family's backyard, which was only half an acre.

How similar! What a resemblance to the house in his previous life! In addition to the fact that the roof is not broken, there is only a bed of straw in the house, and the food is steamed bread and water, which is according to his own orders, but it is much better than the treatment in his previous life.

Anyway, that's enough, enough for her to get angry.

She was ruthless, and she was refreshed by the pleasure of revenge, especially when she saw the half-dead woman lying on the straw, who was thin and thin, and a handful of firewood.

It's a pleasure!

But a faint baby cry came, and Layue saw a child wrapped in broken cotton wool from the straw, Zhang Wanqing moved, but instead of holding the child over, she pushed the child farther away.

It looks like he wants to starve this kid to death!

Looking at the purple baby, Layue suddenly thought of her own child in her previous life, the child's small purple and black body when she was dying, the feeling of grabbing her fingers and sucking blood shattered her cruelty at once, and she stepped forward and hugged the child.

Wanqing, who was lying down, heard the sound and moved, turned over and sat up, squinting her eyes and recognizing it for a long time before she recognized Layuelai, the dying body suddenly came to the spirit, and her eyes were instantly filled with hatred, "Xing Layue!" How dare you come! ”

As she spoke, she pounced, and Layue held the child sideways to dodge her attack, looking at her coldly, "Why don't I dare to come?" Not only do I dare to come, but I also want to tell you that your brother is also here, but he doesn't see you, and your mother doesn't see you, why don't they see you, can't you think of the reason? I'm still willing to come to see you, and you still want to kill me if you don't thank you? ”

"Thanks? Do you still have the face for me to thank you? Who made me like this? Zhang Wanqing yelled hysterically at Layue, but she didn't have the strength to pounce again.

Her current appearance is similar to the previous delicate and beautiful color, even her hair is gray, and she scolded Layue angrily in her mouth, scolding and scolding, and even cried, "Why...... Why do you hurt me so much...... I didn't really hurt you......"

Didn't you?

Layue looked at the child who was warmed in her arms and said to her, "Zhang Wanqing, do you know how I died?" If I hadn't predicted the bowl of red bean soup, what would you have done to me? ”

Zhang Wanqing stared at the woman in front of her with hatred from the gap in her messy hair, without saying a word.

Didn't expect her to answer.

Layue was immersed in some kind of painful and hateful memory, and her voice was ethereal, "...... At that time, the snow was pouring in through the hole in the roof, and I was holding my baby and froze to death...... When he was dying, all he saw was his eyes full of red ...... It's all blood...... My Blood...... It's so cold, it's cold......"

For some reason, Zhang Wanqing felt that what Layue said was true, not because of the tears that flowed from the corners of her eyes unconsciously when she said it, but she knew intuitively that it was all true.

Unending hatred!
