Mrs. Song was in a daze after talking to Ling Xiao. Her life during this period had given her too many surprises. Only then did she realize that if she thought about it carefully, she would find risks everywhere.
It is dangerous for children to study hard and take the imperial examination, but it is also dangerous if they do not study. The village chief dare not say a word in front of a yamen servant, but if he can be admitted as a scholar and go to court without kneeling, then
What should she do? She didn't know what to do with her child.
Ling Xiao naturally noticed that something was wrong with Mr. Song, but he kept silent. Some things were best left to the parties involved to think carefully before mediating. He saw the dark circles under Mr. Song's eyes deepening, and his whole expression was a little dazed.
Later, after several days in a row, she was supposed to make a decision and uncharacteristically stopped letting her sons study and read. Instead, she thought about how to make money to buy land. She planned to start embroidery again so that she could save a sum of money.
Is this possible? After thinking for a moment, she called Mrs. Song and the original owner over and said, "My grandniece, you should have made a certain decision. Do you think that the big man should not study hard and farm at home, even if it is a hardship?"
Can you still live if you don’t do it?”
Ling Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or sigh. She really didn't know what to say to Ling Xiao with this thought. She now understood Song's thoughts and was frightened by what she said. She simply refused to let her sons
Take that dangerous path.
But some dangers cannot be avoided. Just like in the legend, when the ostrich encounters danger, it wants to bury its head in the sand, thinking that if it cannot see the danger, the danger will go away, but it is not the case.
If the ostrich faced the danger when it discovered it, there might be a chance to escape. But if it buried its head in the sand, it would not know that the danger was close at hand and would not be able to escape. So the Song family surrendered without even fighting.
It is tantamount to giving up the chance of survival.
Song didn't know if her idea was right at the moment. She looked at Ling Xiao and nodded timidly. In her opinion, she had to live first, and country people had simple ideas, so living would be easy.
Ling Xiao sighed from his heart and said: "If you feel there is danger and don't let your children go up, you will find that there are not many people like your parents-in-law's family in the world. You didn't find it before because you don't need to go out.
.
You must know that you and Dalang Erlang are orphans and widowed mothers. They are the most likely to be taken advantage of in the countryside. Li Shitou's family is very hateful, but because of the large number of people in their family, generally no one will take advantage of you and your mother. But
In the days to come, you have to be tough to prevent being bullied."
Mrs. Song said with some doubts: "But my uncle can live with our family, and all the village chiefs will be very happy to listen to you, so naturally no one will dare to bully us."
"Well! The idea you mentioned has a prerequisite, that is, I am happy to be in the countryside, but I will not stay in this place. I don't want people to come to me every day to ask about good or bad luck." Ling Xiao said.
She won't stay here. Considering that this place is relatively close to the original owner's hometown, it is better to let the original owner leave his hometown. Who knows if he will meet the original owner's family. The less troubles, the better.
Song's lips trembled after hearing Ling Xiao's words. What? His uncle didn't plan to stay here? He had been staying in this county for this period of time, which made Song think that they would settle down in the county. But now they know
I think too much, what should I do?
"Grandniece, did you know that people sometimes choke to death when eating, and even choke to death when drinking water? So for fear of choking to death, people don't need to eat at all if they choke to death?" Ling Xiao asked.
She asked seriously, but Mrs. Song was shocked for a moment, because she never thought that Ling Xiao would ask this question. In her opinion, how could a person not eat and drink water? People would die if they did not eat and drink water, so she shook her head
The head said softly: "Of course it's good to eat and drink."
Ling Xiao nodded and said: "So grandniece, I didn't say those things before to scare you and stop there, because you have to know one thing: people in this world have two sides, both good and evil.
If you are stronger, others may not dare to plot against you and will only show good intentions to you. But if you are very weak, there will definitely be many people who will show ill will to you and want to bully you.
For example, if you are in Lijiacun, no one knows what kind of people you and your wife are, because they have no chance to meet you and your wife, but this does not prevent most people from siding with Li Shitou.
Why is this happening? On the one hand, it's because you and your wife rarely go out and don't know that others are throwing dirty water around you and your wife. You two were too careless and completely separated from the entire village, without giving others a chance to understand.
On the other hand, you have never stood in a high position. If your husband is admitted as a scholar, your situation will be different. No need for others to say, the village chief will come forward to clear up the rumors."
After hearing this, Ms. Song's face looked sad, her eyes filled with tears and she wanted to cry. She shook her head and said, "Uncle, but they have been holding us back! We have been suffering." Halfway through, tears rolled down her cheeks.
Falling, she quickly wiped away her tears with a Supa.
Ling Xiao didn't know what Li Han's situation was like. If he had discovered any problems, he asked: "Have you and your wife ever suspected in your hearts that they are holding you back over the years?"
When she said this, she looked at Song. Although she could see some cause and effect, she definitely couldn't understand everything clearly. There were some things that required Song to answer related questions. If Li Han didn't find any problems at all, that was
It would be a little better for a person who is a bookworm to find out.
When Mrs. Song heard this, she didn't know what to say. The Supa in her hand was twisted in one place. Her eyes glanced at Ling Xiao with a bit of panic, and then immediately lowered her head, letting Ling Xiao feel that this
Why are you taking so long?
After a while, Mrs. Song said: "I didn't notice it at first, but after problems occurred several times in a row, I felt something was wrong. Later, my husband said that as a younger generation, we should forgive our elders, and some things can be tolerated and let go. Because after the separation,
When we got home, my husband vomited blood. He wanted to say something but in the end he said nothing."
She suddenly threw herself on the table and burst into tears, but she also knew that crying was not good and did not dare to cry loudly. She covered her mouth tightly and her cry turned into a whimper, because she knew that her husband must be
I noticed something, but in the end I didn't express my thoughts.
She had always felt that something was wrong, and only now did she understand what was going on. But at that time, she did not know the relevant situation, so she felt that something was wrong. Her heart was very painful, but she was unable to seek justice for her husband, until her uncle
The arrival of her grandfather was the only way to survive, so she cried loudly.
Ling Xiao looked at the other party without making a sound. She could see Mrs. Song's hesitation and the pain in her heart. Speaking of which, Mrs. Song was not even thirty years old yet. She had always lived a very humble life. She followed her father at home and followed her when she got married.
Husband, she is used to listening to other people's words.
In a patriarchal society, even if a woman has great ideas, she can't do anything. Naturally, Ling Xiao won't want to pursue anything. Things have already happened, so just look for experience.
Mrs. Song had always listened to her husband's words. In addition, she and her husband had a good relationship, so she wanted to live with her family in the countryside. Ling Xiao's words made her vaguely feel that she had done something wrong. She was a little frightened and added
When I think about the bullying I suffered in the past, I can’t help crying.
When the original owner heard the cry, she felt like crying, so she took out the handkerchief and wiped the tears under her eyes. She said, "My life is really miserable. Why do my family treat me like this? What did I do wrong?" She also whispered softly.
Start crying.
Mrs. Song whimpered again for a while, and the two children were frightened and panicked. They squeezed into Mrs. Song's arms one after the other. When they saw Mrs. Song crying, they also started to cry, which made Ling Xiao feel helpless.
After hearing the children's cries, Mrs. Song gradually recovered. She naturally knew that the person she could rely on after her husband's death was her uncle. She was a little worried that he would be unhappy after hearing this, so she busily wiped away her tears and comforted the two.
Children, don't cry.
Ling Xiao was a little embarrassed and sighed. At this time, the original owner's eyes were red because she also cried. When she heard the cry of Song's mother and son, she suddenly remembered the past.
After several people gradually recovered, Ling Xiao said: "My great-niece, do you understand now? Sometimes it will pass if you don't have to endure it. Many times your tolerance will only make things worse."
Mrs. Song naturally understood that her uncle had already explained the problems between the couple, but he could not find a suitable person in the village. When people in the village said bad things about them, no one came out to speak up for them.
Now that I think about it, I didn't do a good job on this point. Someone helped clarify it before. After no one helped the couple to talk, Li Shitou and others poured all kinds of dirty water on the couple. As a result, no one helped them when they encountered problems.
Helping hand.
Ling Xiao could see that Mrs. Song must have thought about it, so he continued: "The grand-nephew and grandson-in-law should have discovered the problem at the beginning, but he probably knew that he discovered it too late. If some things were exposed, it would be bad for you, so he
I won’t say anything.”
Mrs. Song once again wanted to cry when she heard this, because she thought that her husband would not die with his eyes closed in his last moments, probably because he was worried that mother and son would have a difficult life in the future. Fortunately, her uncle came in time.
The original owner gently patted Ms. Song on the shoulder. Sister Song was really miserable. She had been living in other people's calculations. If there was no Taoist priest, I'm afraid there would be no good ending this time. Hey! It seems that she needs to practice hard.
For her own skills, you should know that the Taoist priest used this body to jump into the river and escape, but she didn't dare to resist at all.
Now I think of the same body, but two completely different treatments. The biggest difference is that she has very powerful skills. This time Song's experience made the original owner a little more enthusiastic about practicing skills. From being forced to
Voluntarily, she will definitely work hard. Thinking of this, the original owner clenched her fists.
Ling Xiao looked at a few people and waited for them to calm down before changing the topic and said: "I hope you can learn something from your past life and don't make the same mistakes. In addition, you must learn to nourish your energy and don't explode whenever something happens."
.
This is because sometimes the opponent is powerful, and if you insist on confronting the evil forces, it is equivalent to throwing an egg against a rock, that is, you are courting death. The real way is to sneak down at this time.
During the process of diving down, accumulate your own strength and take care of yourself at the same time, because only by living can you have a future and the possibility of revenge for yourself and others. This depends on your own ability.
If you really don’t have the ability to take revenge, then just live well and do what you should do. In many cases, it depends on who lives longer. Isn’t it true that no one can bring down the former powerful officials?
Even if the powerful ministers with the emperor as their backing had harmed the public and enriched themselves, took bribes and were impeached by many ministers, they would still live well. On the contrary, those ministers who impeached the powerful ministers were unlucky, ranging from being dismissed from their posts to having their homes confiscated and annihilated. Many people were impeached.
Send him to Jinyiwei, go in standing up, and come out sideways.
It can be said that at that time, this powerful minister was so powerful that he could not take revenge directly. So if he did not judge the situation and live well, not only would he not be able to defeat his opponent, but he would risk his own life and the life of his family. Sometimes, if you are not in a hurry to seek revenge, you would just go undercover.
In order to better counterattack the opponent.
Even if you find that you can't fight back, don't feel sorry for yourself. You should work hard to take good care of your body and live longer. Then you can see what will happen to the powerful ministers? Don't worry, there are not many powerful ministers in this world who can have a good ending.
.
There was once an emperor who loved a minister so much that he even went so far as to marry the minister, that is, the son of a powerful minister married a princess. But later, when the emperor's son ascended the throne, the minister's house was ransacked. This shows that the emperor's
Favor is simply unreliable."
People who live long can watch their enemies fall with their own eyes. Even if one of the parties involved does not contribute to it, it is still very satisfying to watch the enemy die. But if you die early, you will not see anything.
Ling Xiao's words made Mrs. Song a little stunned. She could actually live like this. To put it bluntly, she didn't expect it at all. She said, "I thought my uncle encouraged everyone to sacrifice their lives for righteousness, but it turned out not to be the case at all."
Ling Xiao felt helpless after hearing this. Mrs. Song shrank her neck and did not dare to look at Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao said: "It depends on the situation. Sometimes you should do it at the expense of your own life, because this kind of situation can wake up other people, and sometimes
If you can’t wake others up at all, then you might as well accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to fight back.”
Mrs. Song didn't know what to say after hearing this. She was a little confused and couldn't understand what her uncle meant. After all, the things she had come into contact with made her unable to accept these things. The original owner was thoughtful.
After all, what happened to her made her aware of some situations. She had known that being a powerful minister was not easy. She died not long after knowing that the powerful minister's family was over. She also died with many regrets because she had too many regrets.
