Later, Chuntao put down the bowl long ago. After taking a few bites, Shuya shook her head and expressed that she didn't want to eat anymore. She just leaned on Chuntao's shoulder and looked at the ground with empty eyes.
Shu Yao saw her and stepped forward to replace Chuntao. She held Shu Ya in one hand and gently wiped the tears on her cheeks with a handkerchief.
Seeing this, Chuntao sighed silently and called the other maid, Chunxia, to take Mother Liu and Qiu Shuang to have dinner and arrange accommodation.
There was no one else in the room, only two sisters, Shu Ya and Shu Yao, were left in silence for a while.
After a while, Shu Ya suddenly raised her hand, felt under the pillow, took out a green bracelet, held it in her arms, and said softly:
"He gave this to me... He said that when we just got engaged, he went to Yongzhou to study and secretly looked at me... and bought this bracelet when he came back..."
For a moment, Shu Yao's tears overflowed. She thought that her sister might be made things difficult by her mother-in-law in her husband's family, and it would be difficult to adapt to an unfamiliar place. She was afraid that she had never met her brother-in-law, and they would get married blindly, and the two of them would be together.
There were many discords, but she never thought about the greatest misfortune and sorrow. She didn't know what to say, so she hugged Shu Ya tightly.
Shu Yazhen held the bracelet carefully and looked at it carefully for a while. Then she slowly turned her head and looked at Shu Yao. Tears slowly gathered in her eyes and she said:
"When he learned that I was pregnant, he seemed very happy. That night, I said I wanted to eat Shuangfengzhai's pickled radish skin... The next day, I waited for him to come back from school at home, and I waited for a long time...
The boys who carried him back said that the horse was frightened and the young master had thrown the horse... I made him lie down, but he couldn't even say a word..."
"Later, I smelled the smell of pickled radish from the clothes he changed out of... I realized that he had gone to buy me pickled radish skin... Shuyao, I... I..."
Shu Ya was choked and speechless, her tears were pouring down, and her shoulders were shaking. Shu Yao hugged her tightly, letting her tears fall on her shoulders, and only patted her back gently, over and over again.
Saying:
"It's not your fault, it's not your fault..."
She felt Shuya shaking her head with difficulty on her shoulders, and the sadness in her heart felt like a twinge. Her sister, without the protection of her mother, took on the responsibility of housekeeping very early, and finally married a lover.
My dear husband, in just one year, something like this happened. God, why would you be so cruel?
Shu Ya was so sad and weak, so she cried and fell asleep on Shu Yao's shoulder. Shu Yao gently put her down. Even if she fell asleep, she could not sleep well. Sometimes she was frightened and sometimes she shed tears.
Shu Yao called Chuntao and asked her to move a low couch next to Shu Ya. She lay down on it with her clothes on, and looked at Shu Ya from time to time. The night passed quickly, and she was in a daze at Mao.
I fell asleep, only to be quickly woken up by the sound outside.
Shu Yao woke up from the couch, looked up at Shu Ya, and saw that she was already awake, looking at the tent roof with her eyes open. It was still dark outside, and there were low and chaotic voices coming in, and they must be preparing for the burial.
Shu Yao stood up and turned on the light. Mother Xu, Mother Liu and others who were waiting outside the door walked in gently and were busy dressing the two sisters.
Compared to the first time we met last night, Shu Ya's face looked better, but she was still a little weak and swaying a little. After they were dressed, Shu Ya actually took the initiative to eat, and everyone was a little happy.
After just two bites, Chuntao lifted the curtain and said:
"The old lady is coming this way!"
Just after I finished speaking, I heard the sound of slight footsteps. Mother Liang showed up first behind the curtain, followed by a group of people. The leader was a woman about forty years old, with a bun on her dark hair and a
