Chapter 68 The vicious mother-in-law in the Republic of China (3)
After living two lifetimes, Gu Qingcheng can be considered a person who has endured hardship.
However, the hardships she endured were either due to hardships in her studies - during the winter months and the summer days, she never slacked off for a day;
Or it was mental suffering - he was dark and ugly, looked at with the same eyes as others, and was used to hearing criticism from others that seemed to be pity.
But Gu Qingcheng had never tasted physical punishment like this, simple and rough pain.
It hurts!
My whole body ached, especially my face, which was swollen and swollen. The pain was severe when I took a breath.
There is a strong rusty taste in my mouth, and the skin must be broken inside.
And the little fat man shouting "Mother" undoubtedly made Gu Qingcheng, who was in pain, even more painful.
Gu Qingcheng bit her lower lip hard, trying to calm down as much as possible.
She needs to know her current situation.
"Don't, don't cry!"
Gu Qingcheng opened her mouth with difficulty.
It's not that her mouth was muzzled, but her cheeks must have been severely beaten, and both cheeks were numb.
It hurt to breathe in, let alone speak.
"Mom, are you not dead?"
The little fat boy, who was lying on Gu Qingcheng's body and howling in fear, stopped crying when he heard Gu Qingcheng's dry and hoarse voice, and cried out in surprise.
Gu Qingcheng: ...You are an unfilial son, if you keep pressing on your mother, your mother will die!
"You come down first!"
Gu Qingcheng had just arrived and her memories hadn't even been integrated. She didn't know anything.
She now needs to find a quiet place and accept the memory of the original owner.
"okay!"
Although the little guy was frightened, he was accustomed to obeying his mother's words.
Climbing down from Gu Qingcheng quickly, the little guy stretched his head, trying to see his mother clearly.
"Be good, don't move! Let me take a breath!"
Gu Qingcheng held the little guy's arm with one hand. She was used to being cautious and worried that when she accepted the memory, the little guy would run around again.
She moved her body with difficulty to avoid the door.
The little guy looks like he is five or six years old, but he is also sensible.
Seeing Gu Qingcheng trying to hide in a corner, he puffed up his cheeks and pushed hard with his two chubby little arms.
Although it was useless, Gu Qingcheng felt the child's thoughts.
"Fortunately, the son is a filial son, and the original owner's situation is not too bad."
After struggling for a while, Gu Qingcheng finally rolled and hid in the corner next to the back door.
This was originally the back entrance and there was no one there.
The corner became even more secluded. Gu Qingcheng was sure that there was no danger for the time being, so he quickly accepted the memory.
The original owner's maiden name was Gu and she had no name. Because she was the third child in the family, she was called Gu Sanniang.
Her father was a member of the imperial family in the former Qing Dynasty. His family had a small income and could barely be considered a "country squire" in his hometown.
Gu Juren had one wife and one concubine, and Gu Sanniang was the concubine.
The aunt is very powerful. Not only does she control the backyard tightly, but even Gu Juren is quite henpecked.
The aunt's mother was domineering, and her biological father was weak and indifferent. Gu Sanniang, the concubine, grew up like a weed in the Gu family.
My aunt didn't even allow Gu Sanniang to have her feet bound.
"Foot binding! So this is foot binding!!"
Gu Qingcheng found all the information about foot binding in the memory of the original owner——
Girls of several years old, whose bones have not yet fully developed, use brute force to wrap up their toes.
For the so-called "three-inch golden lotus", the long foot-binding cloth was wrapped around and around, and it had to be sewn shut with needle and thread.
The tender bones were deformed, and some even had their toe bones broken.
My good-looking feet have become small and pointy, making it difficult to even walk, let alone run or ride a horse.
Gu Qingcheng is a truly noble daughter of a noble family. She has studied the Six Arts of a Gentleman since she was a child.
Dressed in bright clothes, angry horses, and a flying young man, this is the girl from a wealthy family that Gu Qingcheng is familiar with.
As for having her feet bound, being kept in the back house like an animal, and possibly not being able to leave the house for the rest of her life, Gu Qingcheng couldn't even think about being such a "lady".
"Who came up with this sinister and vicious method? This is going to destroy the Celestial Empire!"
Women are so important to a family.
Marrying a husband and raising children is not only a requirement for a woman, but also a recognition of her ability.
If a woman's knowledge is too shallow and she can't even leave home, how can she educate her children who are open-minded and knowledgeable?
How can she help her husband?
"No wonder this Qing Dynasty will perish."
As the empress and queen mother in charge of the political power, Gu Qingcheng knew that those in power would adopt certain policies to fool the people.
However, no matter how much you fool the people, you can't make half of them "lame".
With such deformed rules, stupid people really become cattle and sheep.
The people are no longer the people, and the country is no longer a country.
Taking a deep breath, suppressing his anger about foot binding, Gu Qingcheng continued to sort out his memories.
Gu Sanniang was suppressed by her aunt and could not bind her feet, so after she got hairpins, her marriage did not go smoothly.
It happened that at this time, the former Qing Dynasty fell, Gu Juren's status as a Juren was not as noble as before, and the Gu family fell into decline.
Although Gu Sanniang has big feet, she has good looks.
It's not easy to find a first marriage partner, but you can still fill a house for someone.
Gu Sanniang was very smart and her aunt was domineering, so she tried her best to please her eldest brother and sister.
When her brothers and sisters were studying, she would diligently serve them tea and water, and beat their waists and backs.
Seeing that she was well-behaved and pitiful, her brother and sister felt soft-hearted and taught her some lessons.
Therefore, Gu Sanniang has read books and can also write and calculate accounts.
When he turned twenty, Mr. Li, a well-known wealthy man in their county, lost his first wife and wanted to remarry.
There is news about the Li family, Xu Xian's background must be clean, and it is best to be literate.
Gu Sanniang fits all of them.
Her aunt received a bride price of thirty yuan and married Gu Sanniang to Mr. Li, who was over fifty years old.
Gu Sanniang felt aggrieved, but still got married obediently.
She was worried that if she missed Mr. Li, she might be sold to an even worse family by her aunt.
Anyway, when I went to the Li family, she was also the head wife.
Although her stepson is older than her, although she is not very respected in the Li family, although...
Gu Sanniang endured the grievance, showed the same diligence as she had used to please her brother and sister, and served Mr. Li diligently.
An old man and a young wife. The young wife is good-looking and has a sweet mouth. Mr. Li gradually developed some feelings for Gu Sanniang.
Her husband valued her, so Gu Sanniang established a firm foothold in the Li family.
It happened that that year, Mr. Li's eldest son Li Yaozu went abroad to study abroad. Although Mr. Li had several children, they were all daughters.
The only son is leaving, but Mr. Li cannot stop him for the sake of his son and the family.
After sending Li Yaozu away, Mr. Li felt that his heart was empty.
Just at this time, Gu Sanniang became pregnant.
A few months later, I gave birth to a chubby son.
Mr. Li was so happy that he had a son, his only son. He put almost all his fatherly affection on his youngest son Li Yaozong.
Mother is more valuable than son, so Gu Sanniang completely straightened her back in the Li family.
People can't be too proud, otherwise they will forget their form.
With her son by her side, Gu Sanniang is no longer the little daughter-in-law she was when she first came into the family, who even the maid and mother-in-law didn't dare to offend.
She really regarded herself as the head wife of the Li family, and she was greedy and wanted to seize all the property of the Li family.
Young Master Li Li Yaozu went abroad for several years. He came back at the beginning of the year, got married, and then left in a hurry.
Gu Sanniang had no chance to take action against Li Yaozu.
The daughter-in-law whom Mr. Li forced to marry seemed to be pregnant, so Gu Sanniang had a bad idea and wanted to slander her stepson and daughter-in-law for stealing someone, thereby killing two people.
As for Mr. Li, he is almost sixty and has poor health.
After being stimulated by his daughter-in-law, if Li Yaozu disappears, won't all the Li family's property fall into the hands of his son?
Gu Sanniang thought very well and planned carefully.
She only missed one point——
Cheap Daughter-in-law changed the core and got a scholarly girl who knows the plot well.
The scholar-girl is very straightforward and will take advantage of the situation. Gu Sanniang fell into the trap she set and became the one who stole the person.
Furthermore, her son Li Yaozong was also questioned as a bastard.
In anger, Mr. Li ordered someone to beat Gu Sanniang severely, and then drove the mother and son out of the Li family...
