My mother-in-law, Grandma Fang, especially likes to criticize others. I am afraid she will always remind her future son-in-law how much she has paid. Over time, it will definitely be disgusting. The last thing men like to hear is someone who likes to point fingers.
She remembered that people in the village mentioned that a certain man had gone to great lengths to find his son-in-law. However, a few years later, when something happened to the woman's mother-in-law, the man quickly took in several concubines, and in the end the wife did not have many concubines.
Live a long life.
The man later married another wife and had children, and lived a very good life. Many people suspected that the woman's death was abnormal. Someone happened to see the body when she died. The woman had become so thin that there was not much flesh on her body, just like
A skeleton is as scary as a skeleton.
Now Hongyu is very suspicious that she and her mother lacked a string in their heads. She thought she was very smart, but in fact she was just a chess piece in the hands of others. She also knew that her mother, Aunt Fang, had done many bad things and was a bad person, but her mother
I was really nice to her before the kiss.
As a daughter, she always wanted to repay her mother, so she wanted to get her a coffin for her mother to bury her in before she died. Without a coffin, the impoverished Grandma Fang would end up wrapping herself in a mat.
Bury it.
Hongyu thought for a while, and after looking through the place where she lived, she found that there was nothing, not a penny, all the furniture was worthless, and there was nothing in the house that could be pawned.
It can be said that she was so poor that even the worst coffin could not be bought. Hongyu cried loudly, for her dead mother and for herself who had an uncertain future.
At that moment, she didn't want to live anymore. Living was too tiring. Mother and daughter had never been very adaptable to farm work, which was why they were so miserable.
During this period, Hongyu once complained about her mother. If she wasn't so greedy, she wouldn't be like this. In addition, her mother was nagging and her personality changed drastically.
As a result, the relationship between the mother and daughter has cooled down sharply. After all, no one likes a person to be picky and picky, and they also hate that iron cannot become steel.
Mother and daughter were no longer on speaking terms, but after Hongyu found out that her mother had passed away, she realized that she still cared about her mother deep down.
But now it's too late to say this. From now on, she is the only one alive, and she is thinking: What will happen in the future?
After Hongyu cried profusely, she finally relieved her inner pain temporarily and thought about getting a coffin for her mother.
She thought for a long time but couldn't think of any good solution, so she came to beg Ling Xiao, hoping that she could be merciful and help.
After hearing this, Ling Xiao looked at Hongyu and asked slowly: "Hongyu, do you think I should give it to her?"
After hearing this, Hongyu's body trembled a little, and her tanned face suddenly turned red.
She knew her mother's behavior and naturally knew how bad what she did was.
Cheating! Poisoning! Each of these makes the victim unable to forgive that person.
If she were the eldest lady, she would hate Aunt Fang from the bottom of her heart.
She knelt on the ground with tears streaming down her face, very desperate.
But without anger, she herself is not qualified.
After thinking clearly, Hongyu felt that her body was very weak.
I can't even cry anymore, all this is the retribution I deserve.
Ling Xiao said calmly: "Go down, do what you want, and think about how to live?"
Hongyu finally woke up after hearing her voice. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.
Just now she realized that she couldn't bring out anything that could be exchanged with Ling Xiao.
She knew a few characters when she was young, but she only knew them and had not practiced any calligraphy.
The scary thing is that after not studying for these years, now I realize that I have forgotten a lot of things I learned before, which is not much better than Bai Ding.
In addition, I remembered that my own embroidery skills were only so-so and not proficient at all, because Grandma Fang had never thought about letting her daughter become an embroiderer.
You must know that embroiderers embroider every day, which may lead to overuse of their eyes. In this case, when they are old, or not too old, their eyes will be dead. Grandma Fang does not want her daughter to do this.
Hongyu used to think that she only needed to be beautiful, but now she realized that she basically didn't know anything and was just an ordinary woman.
In the past, she was superficially proud of her beauty, but after years of hard work, she realized that beauty was too cheap.
There were also beauties staying in the Qin Building of the Chu Pavilion, many of whom were sold there. She originally thought she might go there too.
After all, Aunt Fang did such a terrible thing, so the Tao family was very kind by not choosing to retaliate against her.
People in the village said that there was a family in the neighboring village who cheated and sold their daughter to a dirty place in order to make a little more money.
Later, the girl was covered in internal diseases, all parts were rotten, and she was buried alive.
After hearing this, Hongyu was frightened. She did not expect that beauty was not a blessing.
In addition, she remembered that she had seen the lady selling disobedient maids into a brothel.
She was too young at the time and had no idea of the conflicts of interest involved.
After knowing this, she felt that she was too fat.
She would rather be as she is now and not attract anyone's attention.
Hongyu has undergone a big change in her heart and no longer wants to listen to her mother in everything.
And when she knew that Ling Xiao had not agreed to her request, Hongyu didn't even think about taking revenge.
What is revenge? First of all, Hongyu knows how much he weighs and knows that he does not have the ability.
Hongyu, who knew the truth, didn't think that Ling Xiao should get a coffin for Aunt Fang. How could it be possible?
Hongyu knew that Ling Xiao had a good temper, and he was definitely magnanimous in not cutting Aunt Fang into pieces to avenge his family.
Not long ago, a trafficker passed by the village and wanted to kidnap the village's children. As a result, he was beaten to death with sticks by the villagers and turned into meat paste.
After that, he just took it away without knowing where to throw it. He was afraid that it would become a meal in the belly of a wild beast. After that, no one in the whole village talked about it. If he died, he would die in vain.
Hongyu knew very well what Grandma Fang had done. She tried to work part-time as a human trafficker but failed. Fortunately, her mother did not confess the idea at the time.
She felt that it was very good to be able to keep her mother alive for a few more years, but wasn't it just a bit of a hardship? It was normal to endure more hardships, and this was to atone for her sins.
She still wanted to create a coffin for her mother, but Ling Xiao didn't want to talk to her at all. Hong Yu understood.
She stood up in confusion, thinking that if she had known this was the case, she should have eaten less and saved some money.
You can buy a coffin for Grandma Fang. It's too late now, and she doesn't have the money.
After she returned home, she prepared to bury Grandma Fang, but only found out that someone knew about it when she returned home.
They finally carried a very thin coffin, which made Hongyu very happy.
In this way, a group of people buried Grandma Fang on a hillside.
After that, Hongyu thought about simply dying, but she didn't die in the end.
She continued to live, and later found herself slowly losing weight.
After losing weight, after several years of labor, her whole person has changed a lot.
She was no longer the slender and attractive woman, her whole person had become rough.
Hongyu was very happy about this, and felt that living like this was much better than the life she once had.
Later, with Ling Xiao's acquiescence, she married a man in the village, who was a very diligent man.
Hongyu was very happy when she got married. From then on, she had a new home and she could live a good life.
Before she got married, she went to see Aunt Fang underground. She never imagined that her life would be so tortuous.
She once thought that she would become the favorite of a certain husband, but what she didn't expect was that she would end up marrying a farmer.
If someone had told her this news a few years ago, she would have been so angry that she wanted to kill someone. How could someone as proud as her marry a farmer?
Now I see that this is the best destination for her. Mother, don’t worry, I will live a good life and will not make the same mistakes again and suffer retribution for doing bad things like you.
Ling Xiao didn't pay much attention to Hong Yu later, but she also didn't expect that Hong Yu would marry an ordinary person. Hong Yu was no longer the same person she once was. Ling Xiao thought about it and had someone give her a pair.
The silver bracelet is considered a gift.
Hongyu's hands trembled when she received this generous gift. If she had received this gift when she was young, she might not have cared about it at all. But after experiencing so many things, she realized how precious it is to receive kindness. Maybe she used to
I didn't care at all, but now I know how valuable this gift is in a small family.
She was filled with emotion for a moment, wanting to cry loudly, crying about her younger self, crying about the past, but at the same time, she wanted to laugh. She had come out of the concubine's hallucination, and she was about to start a new life.
Some people say that when a woman gets married, she is reincarnated for the second time. She wants to start her new life with a smile.
She looked at the pair of silver bracelets again and again, and finally put them away deliberately. She would not keep these bracelets on hand. They were too eye-catching and might cause trouble. She would only put them at the bottom of the box when she had time.
I'll take it out and take a look.
The reason why she did this was that this pair of bracelets reminded her of the past, but Hongyu did not recall the past. She wanted to look forward after the death of her mother, Grandma Fang.
Ling Xiao had paid attention to Hong Yu's situation, and when he saw that she was doing well, he stopped disturbing her life. The death of Grandma Fang put an end to the poisoning incident.
She paid more attention to other issues. There were a few more families near the courtyard. This was a reward for the good deeds she had done. One of her children had found a family.
The family was so anxious that the child was lost on the way to escape. Later, Ling Xiao asked someone to find them and found out that the child was alive and well.
The so-called lost child is because the child's biological parents died in the flood, and the child was lost while fleeing.
There is only one grandfather alive who is out of town, and he has been searching everywhere for several years to find his child's grandfather.
I finally found my grandson in another courtyard, but the child was determined not to follow his grandfather, he wanted to stay.
Grandpa thought for a while, there was no one in his hometown, he was old, and he didn't know when he would leave.
In the end, he stayed near another courtyard, and he was considered a quite famous scholar.
Later, he volunteered to teach the children how to read, and Ling Xiao immediately agreed.
This way she can do her own thing, which is good.
Now she has a mask on one side of her face.
Everyone thought she was hiding the scars on her face.
Later, I often wore Taoist attire, although I did not become a monk specifically.
He can be regarded as half a practicing Taoist, and the brothers of the original owner gradually accepted him.
After a period of thinking, the second wife of the Tao family is now ready to go to the local government and become an official.
Ling Xiao didn't pay much attention and just stayed in the small village. There were no second-rate people around here.
Several years passed, and Ling Xiao lived a very peaceful life. This body had passed the age of hairpin, but the original owner still had not come back.
The relatives of the original owner have not come back either. They are all in other places. The family rarely goes to the capital, where most of the powerful people live.
But one day, a servant from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion suddenly arrived and gave her an invitation. When she opened it, she saw that it was the original owner's cousin Twelve Niang and her hairpin.
Inviting Ling Xiao to the capital to attend the hairpin ceremony, Ling Xiao thought about it for a moment. Although she rarely went to the capital, she still took advantage of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion.
Only then would she be less harassed by the government, so she might as well go and have a look. She looked at the two brothers. Each of them was a young adult, and they were well-educated under Ling Xiao's upbringing.
The two of them will one day enter the officialdom, so they should have some connections. Since the people from the Hou Mansion invited them, it was necessary to go there, so they replied and planned to go to the Hou Mansion in three days to have a look.
Speaking of it, she didn’t know much about Weiyuan Houfu Ling Xiao. She only knew that she was the husband’s family of the original owner’s biological mother’s cousin. She had a certain relationship, but Xungui was a rather proud person. Xia’s mother once went to give him a gift
I don’t pay much attention to the holiday celebrations either.
Ling Xiao thought about it for a moment. He used the excuse of observing filial piety in the past few years to not get over it, and later he didn't get over it because his face was injured. The Tao family and the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion had a very light relationship, but they were not too cold.
Originally, she planned to wait until her two younger brothers became successful before contacting her. After all, her younger brothers were civil servants, and the Xungui family generally belonged to military attachés, so it didn't matter much.
The two brothers thought that if their sister didn't have an injured face and wanted to get married, they might even persuade their sister to contact more people in the Hou Mansion.
Since their sister's face was damaged, they no longer thought about her sister's marriage. Anyway, their sister looked like she wanted to become a monk.
What can they do? But this time the twelfth mother of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion invited her over when she had hair extensions. It would obviously be rude not to go.
For some reason, Ling Xiao had a feeling that she was the one she had met a few years ago.
Little Taozi in the village once sold herself, and then she redeemed herself and got married when she was almost eighteen years old.
Fortunately, she has never been very outstanding, that is, she is a second-class maid.
So in the end, I redeemed myself and there were no problems.
Xiao Taozi has always been more concerned about Ling Xiao.’
Because Twelve Niang will remind Xiao Taozi every time.
Especially when she goes home to rest, she pays even more attention.
Xiao Taozi naturally asked her family to pay attention to the situation and wanted to know.
The family didn't say much about Ling Xiao. This was the master's house, and the tenants were on the master's side.
Twelve Niang didn't say anything when she found out about Ling Xiao's disfigurement. She just had someone give her a bottle of ointment.
Ling Xiao was a little curious after receiving it. She didn't know why Twelfth Mother cared so much about her? Is it because the two of them looked very similar?
