Chapter Seventy-Six: Affectionate Parting Since Ancient Times
Before dawn, Sanniang got up early and beat two poached eggs for her husband Liu Zhiyuan, and asked him to eat them while they were hot.
He also prepared dry food and a change of clothes for the road, and reluctantly held hands and sent the ten-mile pavilion.
Holding hands and looking at each other's teary eyes, they were speechless and choked.
From then on, they were divided into two places, each keeping peace.
Affectionate parting since ancient times!
Liu Zhiyuan said: "Don't send it, if you send it again, I really can't leave!"
Then he tied the horse to the ancient acacia, hugged Sanniang tightly, took the bridge as the boundary, cried goodbye, and then got on the horse and left.
So far, there is a thousand-year-old locust in Jishan, which is said to be Liu Zhiyuan's tethered horse locust.
There is also a bridge called the Wailing Bridge, and legend has it that in the dead of night, you can hear a faint cry when you stand on the bridge......
After Liu Zhiyuan left, no one took care of the melon field, and his brother and sister-in-law became angry and asked Liu Zhiyuan's whereabouts.
Sanniang pretended not to know, and asked her brother and sister-in-law about someone.
"My husband is working for you, and now that the people are gone, I didn't ask for anyone from you, why did you ask about me?! In this case, let's go to the government to evaluate and see where people have been gotten by you?!" Sanniang pulled her brother and sister-in-law's arm confidently and went to see the official.
My brother and sister-in-law made a fuss, and they had to leave in a huff.
A month and a half after Liu Zhiyuan left, Sanniang had reactions such as decreased appetite, greasy aversion, nausea, vomiting, bloating, dizziness, fatigue, and drowsiness.
That night, Sanniang, who was groggy and lying on the bed, was nauseous, followed by retching and coughing.
At this time, Wu's mother flashed in, and when she saw this scene, she said anxiously: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?!"
Sanniang raised her head and said in surprise: "What, is it you, Mother Wu?"
Mother Wu choked up for a while, "Since Miss Da was forced to come here to pour hemp and grind noodles, the old slave was kicked out of the Li family manor. I wanted to come to see you for a long time, but I was afraid of causing your brother and sister-in-law to be dissatisfied. Alas——! but I can't let go of you in my heart! No, a few days ago, I heard Aunt Zhang from the village head of this noodle grinding village say that you are sick, and I can't rest assured that I can't ...... it!"
wiped the tears that flowed down, opened the food box he brought, and took out his home-made scorched peony cakes, variegated fried steamed buns, bamboo shoots and meat noodles, and five-flavor roasted chicken.
Sanniang shed tears of gratitude and said, "Mother Wu, you are so good to me, I can't repay you!"
As he spoke, he smelled the greasy smell and covered his mouth for a while retching.
Mother Wu was stunned for a moment, and then touched Sanniang's head, "Sanniang, you don't have a fever, how long have you been symptomatic?"
Sanniang endured it and gasped: "It's not long, just the last few days, but it's getting heavier and heavier, and I don't have any appetite all day long, and I can't help but want to vomit when I smell something oily." This was followed by another burst of coughing and retching.
Listening to Sanniang's words, Wu's mother's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Wu's mother's deceased father turned out to be a famous old Chinese medicine doctor in these ten miles and eight villages.
Influenced by her father since she was a child, she can also see some minor diseases, and she herself has experienced it, so she was overjoyed for a while, and her heart has been estimated to be inseparable.
After she finished her pulse, she said in surprise, "Miss, are you pregnant——!?"
"What——?!" Sanniang cried with joy, "Mother Wu, are you telling the truth?!The Liu family has a queen?" got up, knelt at the head of the bed, closed her eyes, and prayed silently.
She prayed to God to bless the safety of the child, and prayed that her husband Liu Zhiyuan could sense as soon as possible that they had a child of their own. And bless my husband to return safely and reunite the family as soon as possible!
After she knew that everything was a normal reaction, her mind relaxed, and her symptoms were reduced a lot.
Mother Wu served her and ate all the food she brought.
Sanniang endured to eat more, because she knew that this was no longer her own, but a matter of two people, and she wanted to make her children strong and strong!
When she thought that a small life would come to this world in the near future, her heart was full of sweet expectations, whether it would be a boy or a girl, and what would he (she) look like?!
She was immersed in happiness and reverie, and she couldn't even remember when and how Wu's mother left.
The hope for a better life in the future made her forget the sorrows and troubles of real life, and she did everything happily all day long.
Her every move was seen by her sister-in-law, who often secretly came to spy on her, and she felt very inexplicable, "What the hell is going on?! She is so happy all day long, will she still leave?" The sister-in-law came home and muttered to her husband dissatisfied.
Originally, the eldest brother and sister-in-law wanted to use torture to force away the three mothers and the two children, for fear that they would divide the family property.
Now Liu Zhiyuan is gone, Sanniang is left alone, and the tasks assigned by Sanniang are taken care of every day in an orderly manner, if you want to drive her away, you have to have an excuse, right? !
The eldest brother who sat on the edge of the bed at night, holding his head and sighing, couldn't think of a good way.
The sister-in-law who fell asleep and turned over and woke up again, saw a black shadow pestle at the head of the bed, startled, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and saw that it was her husband, "Dead ghost, standing there like a zombie in the middle of the night, do you want to scare people to death?!" Then the fat white and dazzling thighs stretched out from the nest, and kicked him the waist.
"Oh——! don't make trouble, don't make trouble!" the eldest brother grinned and rubbed his waist, "I'm thinking about it!"
"Hmph, it's just you! The soft-headed turtle who can't afford the lid of the pot, marrying such a thing as you, how can you live a comfortable day. In the middle of the night, the old lady was not allowed to sleep peacefully. ”
Then the fat white body broke free from the quilt, got up and twisted her husband's ears at once, "You don't want to find a way to drive her away, from now on, don't think about going to the old lady's bed and touching the old lady's body!"
"Oops, oops, wife, lightly!" The eldest brother wanted to be annoyed but didn't dare to be annoyed, and cried with a face of chicken urine.
After the sister-in-law let out a burst of "hehehe" abuse of others, she got a pleasant and happy laugh.
Then his eyes rolled slyly, and he whispered in her husband's ear.
"Oh——! that's a good idea, lady, you can figure it out!" said the eldest brother excitedly.
"you," the sister-in-law looked at her husband's face, and gently came to an ear scraper, "What's it called? Call the old lady——!" Then twisted her round body, "Hehe" smiled and arched back to the bed.
When the eldest brother saw it, he broke free of his clothes three times and two times, rushed to the bed, and pressed her body deadly.
Then, the sister-in-law let out a howl as if in pain.
All the humiliation and resentment that the eldest brother had just suffered were all vented at this moment......
