The cups and plates on the table were messy, and they had almost eaten, Wen Liangyu realized that his wife had not eaten together, and he lowered his head in some surprise and asked, "What?

Under the dim soybean oil lamp, only the heavy pounding sound of the stone pestle was heard, Ling Shuangshuang rolled up her sleeves and pounded the beans hard, and said lightly without looking back: "I drank a few mouthfuls of bean curd, this batch of flowers is urgent, and I will have to rush out early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

"Alas-" Seeing that his wife's hand holding the stone pestle had been ground out of blood blisters, Wen Liangyu wiped her oily mouth, sighed, and the resentful woman also said: "Shuangshuang, I want my Wen Liangyu to be full of poetry and books, but I didn't expect to fall into such a situation!"

Ling Shuangshuang paused, glanced at him, and comforted him softly: "Liangyu, don't be discouraged, you pay attention to studying at home, this year's 'Spring Moon' will be examined, you will definitely be able to go to high school and be on the list." ”

Hearing his wife comforting him like this, Wen Liangyu became anxious, dropped his chopsticks with a "snap", and said indignantly: "Ignorant women, you only know how to grind beans and sell pulp, how do you know what kind of world is outside! Those students in the township cheat and engage in personal gain, go everywhere to find teachers and friends, pull relationships, ask for recommendations, and go to the door, how many of them are admitted on the basis of real talent?

Ling Shuangshuang put down the stone pestle, stared at her husband quietly, sighed, and persuaded: "Liangyu, with your talent, you don't need to drill the camp to get ahead one day, even if you don't hit this time, you can wait for next time, I don't believe that this world will treat you unfairly forever." ”

"But I don't want to wait for a day!" Wen Liangyu became more and more anxious, walking around the room, reflecting the dim soybean oil lamp, his huge shadow swarthy swaying back and forth on the earthen wall, he said angrily: "The same years who tried with me back then have all been officials for several terms! I, Wen Liangyu, was far more talented than them back then, because you, a shameless woman, smuggled away to this poor country where birds don't, and lived a life under the fence!"

Ling Shuangshuang saw his resentful and irritable appearance, her heart hurt slightly, but there was a trace of indifference in her eyes......

- Hehe, for no reason, I mentioned this matter again......

Over the years, whenever there was a disappointment, Liangyu always brought up the fact that he gave up his studies in order to run away with me, and between his words, it seemed to show off how much sacrifice he had made for me back then.

On that day, for what did I actually throw everything away and elope with you from "Yunnan" to "Saibei"?

If it weren't for your initiative to offer good words and try your best to persuade me when you were teaching me my studies, where would I have the courage and guts to stand opposite the entire Ling family and confront the entire secular etiquette???

Where were you when I knelt on the ground like an iron-hearted father and pleaded all night? Where were you when I was locked up in my father's boudoir every day without thinking about tea and dinner, and washing my face with tears? Aren't you and your group of fox friends and pig friends, using the money I gave you to have fun in the "Yihong Courtyard" and those powder-headed people who spend all day drinking?

It's ridiculous that I'm still obsessed with you, obsessed with your handsome talent, infatuated with your sweet words, and desperate to stay with you for the rest of my life, and for life and for life.

You once said that you would be good to me for a lifetime, you said that you would be named on the gold list, you said that you would make me wear red makeup and a sedan chair to greet me, and you said that you would make me the pride of envy in the eyes of all people...... You see, I remember all that you have said...... You say, I believed, according to your will, I secretly took all the gold and silver soft, went over the wall, made a private life with you, and went away with you, what about the original vow?

The most wrong thing I've ever done in my life is to love you, and it's outrageously wrong.

But I don't regret it!

When we eloped and fled to "Beiliang Town", we inquired about the news, saying that because of my runaway from home in "Yunnan Mansion", my father was furious, and only said that the second lady died violently, and an empty coffin was carried out, which was regarded as burying the woman "Ling Shuangshuang".

Since then, I have fallen from a young lady to an ordinary woman struggling for a livelihood in the market. More than five years have passed in an instant, and my father was killed by Jiang Yang's thief Yuan 13, and I don't know how I returned from my imaginary dream to a sad and helpless reality, and struggled to survive.

How have I ever complained, how have I ever repented??have I ever hated???

Sighing slightly, Ling Shuangshuang continued to raise the stone pestle to pound the beans.

"Liangyu, rest early, turn off the lights, don't waste lamp oil, I'll just use the moonlight to push and grind. Seeing that her husband's resentment slowly subsided, and she sat back at the table, Ling Shuangshuang smiled slightly and said softly.

-- Over the years, I have not complained about today's embarrassing situation, no matter how hard or difficult it is, I will continue to be by Liangyu's side, and I hope and firmly believe that we will only be poor and humble together, and will not end in resentment.

Wen Liangyu was stunned, as if he was shocked by his wife's calm words, he hesitated for a moment, suddenly approached, walked around behind Ling Shuangshuang, and unexpectedly hugged her shoulder. Ling Shuangshuang closed her eyes slightly, temporarily put down the work in her hand, and gently leaned on him, a smile of relief appeared on the corner of her mouth.

――Liangyu is still very considerate sometimes, and whenever this happens, I feel that the decision I made desperately was right and worthwhile.

Wen Liangyu held his wife's sweat-soaked shoulders, but his eyes changed rapidly, and after thinking for a long time, he finally took out an object from his sleeve and said, "Shuangshuang, I know that you have worked hard these days, see what good things I bought for you?"

"Liangyu, you are really, your family is not rich, and you have to buy books for exam preparation, you shouldn't spend money on me......" Ling Shuangshuang was disgusted, but her eyes were joyful.

However, when she turned her head and saw what Wen Liangyu was holding in her hand, her smile suddenly froze-

- It was a jade jasper bracelet, shining between the fingers of Wen Liangyu.

"Where did you come from?" Ling Shuangshuang blurted out, her face changed, and even her voice changed.

Wen Liangyu didn't expect his wife to react like this, and expected, Frost should have been a surprise to grab and play, but who knew that she was so eager and indifferent to ask.

His face also sank, and he snorted coldly, "I bought it in the town, what?"

Ling Shuangshuang looked at the diamonds and jadeite of the jade bracelet, and said in surprise: "Where did you get the money to buy such an expensive thing?"

Wen Liangyu's face changed suddenly, and he quickly put away the jade bracelet in his hand, and sneered: "Shuangshuang, you still look down on me, think that I am unproductive, and I can't buy a better gift, right? ”

He grabbed his clothes and threw down the words, "I'm asleep." "I went to bed without the lamp blowing.

Ling Shuangshuang actually forgot to cherish the lamp oil, but was in a daze under the lamp-

――How could that jade bracelet be the same as the one worn by Miss Xi during the day......?

The stone pestle fell into the bean jar with a "pop", splashing a splash, Ling Shuangshuang immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and her heart trembled.

- No! No...... This kind of jade bracelet, the town and the county in those jewelry gold and silver shops sell the same style, it must be a coincidence, yes! must be a coincidence!

She turned around, blew out the oil lamp on the table in one go, and fumbled to pick up the stone pestle.

-- She has to work, she has to work, she has to work hard, she has no time or strength to think about anything other than her livelihood......

However, when she lowered her head in the water tank by the moonlight to scoop water and soak beans, what was reflected in the water surface was vaguely the innocent and bright smile of the Xi family, just like herself a few years ago.

Like yourself a few years ago?!

Stunned for a moment, Ling Shuangshuang's face turned pale, as pale as paper......

The next day, it was easy to grind the three jars of beans and hand them over, and Ling Shuangshuang felt that her waist was about to break.

The simple and airy room was empty, without a trace of popularity, and there was a taste of loneliness. Wen Liangyu seemed to be still angry with last night, and went out early in the morning without saying a word, probably not knowing which house to rub the banquet and rub oil and water again, and mix until dark as usual before coming back.

Ling Shuangshuang lay down on the stiff wooden bed, wanting to rest for a while, and in the afternoon she would go to the town to sell bean curd, but for some reason, she tossed and turned, and the feeling of uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger.

As soon as she closed her eyes, the bright-eyed girl with the jade bracelet was smiling coquettishly in front of her, swaying and swaying, as if she had gradually become her smile six years ago.

Suddenly, she realized something, and she sat up from her shabby mat covered in cold sweat—

On the side of the "Beiliang River", Ling Shuangshuang met the girl from the Xi family again.

Ying'er was still wearing a white dress, hurried from the side of the path, and walked in the direction of "Tanting", her face was full of excitement, she was jumping and jumping when she walked, and she seemed to be humming a little song in her mouth.

Ling Shuangshuang cloth and hairpin skirt, standing in the dilapidated pavilion, watched her come over with a lot of feelings-

She was only seven years younger than herself, but she looked at her as if she were looking at a child a generation younger than herself.

"Miss Ying'er. Seeing her coming, Ling Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but call.

Xi Xiaoying turned her head when she heard the sound, saw Ling Shuangshuang in the pavilion, laughed suddenly, her eyes were shining, she suddenly jumped over and grabbed her rough hand, and said in surprise: "Oh, it's Sister Shuangshuang! You-" She said and swept her eyes around Ling Shuangshuang, but she didn't find the Douhua pick, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't you have to sell Douhua today?" Are you waiting for Ying'er here?"

Ling Shuangshuang was stunned, this seemingly confused little girl was actually careful and smart. She sighed inwardly, nodded, and said, "Yes, I'm waiting for you—is your body better? You still have to obediently continue to take medicine, otherwise how can the disease be cured." ”

"Ah, I hate taking medicine! I don't know how disgusting the home remedies Dr. Mei prescribed for tuberculosis. Xi Xiaoying pouted her round, pink little mouth very unhappily, but when she saw Ling Shuangshuang's hands pulling, her face suddenly darkened: "Sister, you can't do rough work anymore - your hands...... It's going to rot. ”

Xi Xiaoying looked at the girl's innocent and kind expression, and suddenly felt a little ashamed of the unreasonable speculation in her heart, but after settling down, she still stubbornly said the lines that had been arranged a long time ago: "Yes, my sister is short of money, so she wants to live, and she needs money everywhere for firewood, rice, oil and salt...... On that day, my sister shouldn't have pretended to be so tall...... So, that jade bracelet, I think it's still ......"

Speaking of this, Ling Shuangshuang paused vaguely, really embarrassed to continue.

Xi Xiaoying was stunned, it seemed that it took a lot of effort to understand what Ling Shuangshuang wanted to express, her face suddenly became a little strange, and she subconsciously let go of the hand she was holding.

Ling Shuangshuang just smiled faintly, but her face was somewhat scornful.
