Chapter 59: The Scars of "Pain" (1)
The divorce turmoil did not knock down Fang Yunxing, but it knocked down Zhangshu Po. When Wu Meiying's marriage in less than half a year after the divorce reached the ears of Zhangshupo, Zhangshupo also said with a thorn in her words: "Whether she marries or not has nothing to do with our family now, this scourge has harmed my family's luck for so many years, and now she is going to continue to harm others." However, Wu Meiying became pregnant as soon as she passed it on, and this incident viciously slapped Zhangshu Po and Fang Yunxing in the face. The rumors that Fang Yunxing turned out to be a 'eunuch' flew all over the sky overnight, and Zhangshupo was completely frightened by the rumors of Wu Meiying's pregnancy and didn't dare to go to the neighbor's house.
She was most afraid of others mentioning the news of Wu Meiying's pregnancy, and for a period of time, she was jealous and resentful even when someone else's daughter-in-law gave birth to a child. She hated her son Fang Yunxing for not arguing, and even more hated Wu Meiying for transferring her pregnancy so quickly. But whether she hates it or not, the facts are in front of her, and there is nothing she can do. Such a blow cannot but be said to be fatal. Especially for an old man over seventy, isn't this too cruel for her? Fang Yunxing slowly looked at this matter: others call themselves eunuchs, they are eunuchs, it doesn't matter, as long as they live happily, what can others say behind their backs? Whoever has the ability to say try it in front of me, I admire him for having a kind.
A bigger blow to Zhangshu Po came one after another: she asked someone to tell her son that the matchmaker's matter would either sink into the sea, or she would be rejected by a mouthful. Someone who is outspoken has spread the word that as soon as the subject hears that your son is a 'eunuch', he quickly avoids it. No matter how generous the conditions offered by Zhangshu Po, people just don't move them. Zhang Shupo began to argue and explain for her son. In the end, after all the hopes were dashed, he didn't care about his own credibility and scolded others.
The wheels of history rumble forward. But the life of the camphor tree woman began to deteriorate. She was a little annoyed, a little remorseful, but more helpless and helpless. She was angry at her miscalculation and regretted her sloppiness. She shouldn't have persuaded her son to divorce. Although it was a momentary pleasure to sweep Wu Meiying out of the house, the reincarnation of the world and the pain inflicted on others soon turned around, hurting others in turn. She used to believe in Buddhism, but now she is even more determined. She felt that she was not devout enough to the Buddha and that she was too selfish; She felt that this was all fate, she lacked lucky stars in her life, and she lacked lucky stars for her children and grandchildren. From now on, she wants to make vegetarian fasting and Ami a top priority. She didn't ask for anything else, she just asked for the Dharma to be boundless, to pull her family and wake her up from her confusion. She needs the power of the Buddha to replenish her righteousness, the immeasurable power of the gods to dispel the evil energy, and she needs the light of the Buddha.
She is now beginning to regret that she blindly followed others. At first, she only felt that she was also a person who was respected and admired by others, but due to her ignorance and incompetence, she gave up Meiying. If it weren't for Meiying's departure, Fang Yunxing would not have been named a 'eunuch' by others. It was a poisoned arrow that was extremely sharp and aimed at her, striking her in the heart. Her heart was shot to death by this poisonous arrow, and Fang Yunxing was a poor child, who was hit hard for no reason. There are orphans and widows left in their family now, and the population is withering, which is my Li Zhutao's personal sin, and it has nothing to do with anyone else, and it has nothing to do with my son's luck.
It's okay for the camphor tree to cry, it's okay to be sad, and it's even better to chant and worship the Buddha, but it doesn't help. The cold words outside cut her to 'no skin'. She is not as fortunate as Fang Yun, she is many times sadder than her son. She pinned all her hopes on her only son for many years, and she regarded the responsibility of her son to inherit the incense more important and precious than her own life. It's a pity that the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and all this made her indestructible spiritual fortress begin to gradually disintegrate and collapse in an instant. What a helplessness and sorrow she saw herself personally destroying her family!
In the third year of Fang Yunxing's divorce from Wu Meiying, rumors of Wu Meiying giving birth to another child began to spread quietly in the courtyard of the Fang family.
On this day, Fang Caihe mysteriously walked into Fang Yunxing's house, and when Fang Yunxing was not at home, he secretly said to Zhangshu Po: "Wife, have you heard rumors recently, and there is talk outside that our Fang family's 'BZ' has a child again." At first, I didn't believe in such rumors, but this time the rumors seem to have been confirmed to be true. ”
Zhang Shupo doesn't like her niece and granddaughter like Fang Caihe very much, she knows that most of the news about her son spreads from her big mouth. Now, she came to reveal her scars; But her feet and mouth grow on other people's bodies, and she can't stop it if she wants to. She really wanted to say to Fang Caihe in person: Caihe, don't make trouble for me, I beg you, don't report me such news and such news, I am cowardly, and my heart can't bear it. If you spread such news to me again, what is the point of my life?
Fang Caihe still passed the news to Zhangshu Po in his own way: "Grandma, don't hurt your mind on this 'BZ', my Caihe doesn't allow others to gossip about our Fang family outside." ”
Zhangshu didn't want to pay attention to Fang Caihe, but out of courtesy, she just said to Caihe as if nothing happened: "I won't be sad and tired because of this matter, and you don't listen to other people's rumors, we don't have time to spend on these meaningless things." ”
Fang Caihe didn't seem to understand the meaning of Zhangshu Po's words, and continued: "My wife is a magnanimous person, but my Caihe can't tolerate this grain of sand in my eyes. I won't let her go. ”
Zhang Shupo had no choice but to say: "I also know that among the grandchildren of our Fang family, you Fang Caihe can replace a male man, and your ability to do things is several times stronger than that of ordinary men?" ”
Fang Caihe said: "You don't know, since the Wu family's 'BZ' was passed on, since giving birth to the first little 'BZ', Wu's mother has become arrogant, and she has said all kinds of ugly words." Wife, you don't know, I have quarreled with others several times, just to protect the dignity of our family. ”
Zhangshu Po was so bitter in her heart, she didn't want Fang Caihe to say these words in front of her again, so she said to Caihe: "Caihe, your wife still has something to go out today, if you still have something, can you come back and talk about it when I come back?" ”
When Fang Caihe walked out of Zhangshupo's house, she was still worried about Zhangshupo's 'driving' her out: "This old woman, I see how long you can pretend." ”
Zhang Shupo didn't have any deliberate intentions for Wu Meiying's quick transfer, and her first blow came from Wu Meiying's pregnancy and childbirth. When Wu Meiying gave birth to her first daughter, she could still say to others with self-deprecation: So what, the one who gave birth to a daughter can't pass on the ancestry, and she doesn't have the same appearance as my family?
But the news that Fang Caihe passed on today is simply asking for the life of Zhangshupo: Wu Meiying's successive births show that Wu Meiying is fully capable of being productive and productive. Moreover, in the third year of marriage, she gave birth to another baby boy, and she was very afraid that Wu Meiying would continue to give birth, so that Li Zhutao would have no ability to be sarcastic and fight back. She's been completely defeated.
Li Zhutao's 'pain point' is precisely because of this. If there is no excellent way to release these negative energies that she has trapped in her heart, it will indeed be a very fatal blow to an ancient old man. Although, Li Zhutao is also a person who has been drifting for a lifetime in strong winds and waves, although there are also flying sand and rocks in the past wind and rain; But this time it was completely different, this time it was not only a storm that brought her, but also a flood beast. She didn't have the power to stop it, she was exhausted, and she had no fighting spirit in her mind.
Zhang Shupo was ready to give up on herself, she took advantage of Fang Yunxing's absence at home, she locked herself in her room, took a shower first, and even repaired her nails and toenails. She had only sat down at her dresser, which had followed her for forty or fifty years, and had combed her hair to a full white hair, and her thick hair to a sparse one. She combed her messy hair so that it was no longer messy. She opened the camphor wood box that had been with her for more than forty years since she had been married from her mother's family, and the earrings of this box had also fallen off, and the surface of the tung lacquered boxes had also changed and wrinkled goosebumps, and the surface of the tung oil had been completely polished off, forming scarlet grooves. Li Zhutao sniffed those antique boxes with her nose, a little reluctant, she stroked it, and couldn't help but burst into tears. Li Zhutao knew that she was about to say goodbye to these things, and she loved everything here, even a small horn comb, she cherished them and couldn't put them down. She used a horn comb over and over again to comb her full head of silver threads, which were taken from her sparse scalp and wrapped around the teeth of the comb, and she carefully scraped them off, and then clumped them together and slowly put them into the bamboo basket, imagining that the black hair would evolve into silver threads day by day, which was really like the experience of her own life. Every silver strand was every day of her years, and now, it was as thin as the gray hair on her head. She cherishes this process of her very much, she knows that this process is her life, and now there is nothing to pity and regret about these things.
