Chongyang just made a general statement, and Yin Ruhua was already shaking with anger.
"They say tigers are poisonous but they don't eat their own children. How could this mother be so cruel to her daughter? She doesn't want her daughter to be well and wants to kill her own daughter with her own hands. How could she do such a thing!"
Then he said to Situ Ji, "Your Highness, you must make the decision for this sister-in-law!"
Situ Ji said: "Okay. Don't be angry. It's not too late to understand it clearly before speaking."
Yin Ruhua personally came to this room to find this miserable widow.
When the widow saw her, she kowtowed to her, "A common woman has no way to repay Madam for saving her life, so she can only kowtow to Madam."
Yin Ruhua signaled Curling to help her up, "I've heard some things about you, but I want to hear your details. Maybe I can help you."
The widow smiled bitterly, "Madam has already saved my life, so I don't dare to bother Madam anymore. But since Madam wants to hear it, I will tell Madam."
She is the daughter of Tongsheng. Don't think that Tongsheng is just a threshold for scholars. But for ordinary people who can't read a word, she is actually an amazing person.
Moreover, her father also opened a private school of his own, so it can be said that the conditions are good.
But once before, her father was unlucky when he went to take a test. He had a stomachache and almost lost his life, but he was saved by a man holding a handful of herbs.
The man who saved people with herbs was her father-in-law.
Precisely because her father-in-law saved her father's life, she married into her husband's family when she grew up. Even though her husband was not in good health, she always took good care of him.
During this period, her husband also gave birth to a daughter and a son.
Life went on like this until three months ago, when her husband finally couldn't bear it and passed away, and she became a widow.
Although this dynasty does not strictly prevent widows from remarrying, it does not encourage it, considering it an act of disloyalty and chastity.
Therefore, many widows will not remarry after losing their husbands for the sake of reputation.
The days ahead as a widow will definitely not be easy, but who can be blamed? If you really want to blame, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.
This widow had no intention of remarrying at first. The reason why she decided to marry her brother-in-law was because he moved her sincerely.
Not to mention that he took good care of her husband when he was alive. Even if his husband is gone, his brother-in-law will take care of everything including funerals.
Moreover, there is no one else at home, and both my parents-in-law are gone.
The brother-in-law told her that he didn't marry her because he felt sorry for her, but because he really liked her kindness and hard work, so he had not gotten married even when he was older in the past few years, just waiting for her.
It's not that he was looking forward to his brother's death, but that his brother was judged by the doctor to not have a long life, so he didn't get married.
Her son and daughter are also his nieces and nephews. If she agrees to marry him, he will adopt her as his own.
He didn't force her and gave her plenty of time to think about it. She persuaded him to forget it. A widow like her had a bad life and was really not worthy of him. He could find another young girl.
But his attitude was very firm.
Finally she was moved.
Because it would be really difficult for her to raise two children by herself, her life would be very hard, and she might not be able to support them.
To be honest, when my husband was alive, he actually relied on his brother-in-law for support, whether it was daily expenses or expenses.
Now that her husband is gone, if her brother-in-law marries another woman, he will no longer be able to help her and her children.
Because my wife will definitely not agree.
So after much hesitation, the widow decided to marry her brother-in-law and wanted to start a new family with him.
Don't blame her for considering these things very realistically. When you marry a man, you wear clothes and eat. Isn't this the first thing a man considers when marrying a man?
He is willing to raise nephews and nieces, and she is also willing to give him his own children.
Initially, both of them were very happy, but after the news spread, the bad-hearted people outside began to spread rumors.
It was hard to hear anything, and the widow was exhausted mentally and physically, but fortunately her brother-in-law remained unwavering, and she planned to get through these rumors.
But soon her mother's family came to persuade her. No matter how difficult her life would be after she became a widow, or whether she would be unable to feed her two children, they kept urging her to stay a widow because of her husband's death, and not to ruin her reputation.
.
If your reputation is ruined, then stop living.
Finally, her own mother cried in the river and said to her, "Don't blame me for being cruel. If you want to blame me, I can only blame you for your bad fate."
After saying that, he pushed her into the river and ran away without waiting for her reaction.
"My biological mother, she disliked me for losing her natal family and wanted me to die." The widow said at the end, crying sadly and desperately, "I also know that my life is not good, and it is not a pity if I die. But she
Have you ever thought about what will happen to my two children if I die? She is my maternal grandmother. She has not helped or said anything for so many years, but in the end she has to cut off their livelihood. How can she be so cruel."
The curling kettle next to him was in tears, and the jade kettle also had a look of emotion and sympathy.
Yin Ruhua comforted her: "Don't be afraid, no one can cut off the livelihood of you and your children now. I think you are a very wise woman, and I think you did the right thing by remarrying."
When the widow heard this, she looked towards her and asked, "Don't you think I am unfaithful and unfaithful, madam?"
"I don't think so." Yin Ruhua shook her head, "If you refuse your brother-in-law and not marry him, I will think you are stupid. If you are willing to marry him, I think it will be good for yourself and your son and daughter.
"
The widow said gratefully: "Thank you madam. My brother-in-law is a rough guy. He is very kind to me and my two children. This way I feel at ease and want to live with him, but I don't want to..."
"It's okay. Just go back and live with your brother-in-law. Someone will help you with the rest." Yin Ruhua said.
This matter was indeed a big deal for the widow and her brother-in-law.
But for Situ Ji, it was just a matter of words.
They did not pursue the matter of the widow and her mother pushing her into the river, because it was a family matter and they were left to resolve it themselves.
He just asked Chongyang to take the sign, and asked the local officials to send officials to give the widow and her brother-in-law a new wedding: two pieces of new cloth, a big fat pig, and a half-sized calf.
The widow and her brother-in-law didn't dare to accept it, but the government officials asked them to accept it, and told them that if anyone dares to spread rumors and cause trouble in the future, just go ahead and tell them, and the rumormongers will definitely be put in jail!
I also raised my voice in this small village and said that the adults already knew about this matter and were very supportive. Anyone who had any objections should just come to the adults!
Now, who dares to be presumptuous?
The widow knew who had helped and saved her, and wanted to bring her husband and children over to thank her, but there was no one in the yard, so she kowtowed three times to the yard with tears in her eyes.
