In the next few days, Hua Lan came to see Minglan again, and the two sisters reached a consensus on this matter without words. [Ye*] [*]
If all the brothers and sisters are going well, but Mo Lan's family is living a miserable life, they can't just sit back and watch, it will be just as troublesome. For the above reasons, it is best for Mo Lan and his wife to separate and continue to live in the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
Hua Lan and Liu agreed that they would handle all the trivial matters, but Ming Lan had to make a trip at some point to suppress the situation.
On this day, Mrs. Liang came to invite the female relatives of the Daoliang clan and their in-laws to gather for tea and discuss the separation of the family. Hua Lan felt that this scene was appropriate. The female relatives in the inner house could talk without having to make a fuss, and could also express the attitude of the Sheng family.
, so he asked Minglan to go with him.
On the way, the three sisters and sister-in-law were riding in a carriage together. Minglan asked about the current situation of the Liang family, "I'm also surprised. Mr. Liang has just graduated from the Qiqi Festival. Why is Grandma Liang blatantly asking for the separation of the family?"
In ancient times, family separation was not considered a dignified matter. Unless the parents took the initiative and the elders took charge, most of the time it would be just gossip.
Mrs. Liu sighed, she was the one who couldn't escape. Her father-in-law and her husband had repeatedly asked her, so she had to work hard. She only heard her say: "Sixth sister is an honest person, how could she have thought of those mean tricks. Since the death of the old Marquis, that
The eldest couple started to have troubles. Later, when the eldest brother of the Liang family went to the Xuan Mansion, things calmed down for a while, but according to the decree of Xi Jue, Grandma Liang started to make trouble again, and it got even worse."
Hua Lan sneered: "This little scheming is not difficult to guess. But after looking at the old marquis before he was born, he thought about it and wanted to make some contributions in the future so that he could win the title. Now that there is no hope, he
Thinking of splitting up."
Mrs. Liu said tiredly: "I think that's what I mean. Grandma won't say clearly that she wants to separate the family, but she spends her days teasing cats and dogs, criticizing mulberry trees and mulberry trees. Today she accuses Grandma Liang of depriving her of her share, and tomorrow she says her mother-in-law is partial.
, everyone in the house bullied her. If she was not good, she would burst into tears, or she would ask her relatives to complain about her injustice, and she would die at every turn, saying "I can't live anymore". Even the fourth sister was depressed.
"Dun, she said she was mean to her cousin, Aunt Chun Ge."
Hua Lan was tired of hearing this, "Mrs. Liang, can't you just open your eyes and close your eyes? Why bother with such a villain?"
Minglan shook her head and said: "Aunt Liang is so proud and arrogant, how can she be willing to bear this anger?"
"Then use some mother-in-law tricks, don't let others bully you!" Hua Lan thumped the carriage siding, which was wrapped in thick brocade velvet, making no sound.
Mrs. Liu said: "Sister, I don't know. In the past few years, Mr. Liang's official career has been very successful. Who wouldn't take a high look at it? Now that he has ascended the throne, Mr. Liang has been reprimanded. But Mr. Liang has the ability. I don't know where he went.
Road, won the appreciation of Master Fan, the general of Xuanda, and was still on the rise. People outside said that the old Marquis Liang was able to resume his official post, but it was because of his son's glory. The world often sees that the wind has turned, and this time there is a separation, the Liang family
There are quite a few who are on the grandma’s side, and they make Aunt Liang angry almost to death!”
After hearing this, the two sisters sighed, and Minglan was sentimental: "If you say a thousand words and ten thousand, you will still be able to succeed."
Hua Lan thought of herself, frowned deeply, and said in a low voice, "Raising a tiger brings danger"; no wonder that mothers in the world are always on guard against concubines, and some even deliberately raise them to be useless. It shows that there is some truth, and this is a good example in front of her.
Minglan glanced at her and said softly: "You don't see people like this from the Liang family everywhere. Sister, don't take it to heart."
I don’t know if Hua Lan heard it or not, but she just nodded.
When they arrived at the Liang Mansion, gods from all walks of life had gathered in the side hall next to the rockery. The female family members were luxuriously dressed and surrounded by pearls and emeralds. Minglan counted them, there were more than ten. Mrs. Liang pointed and said, Minglan
It turned out that two of them were Mrs. Liang's relatives, two were the mother and sister-in-law of Second Grandma Liang's natal family, four were female relatives of the Liang clan, and the rest were all Grandma Liang's natal family. The third grandmother in the concubine sat alone with her head bowed.
On the side, the fourth grandmother Mo Lan’s family had just arrived.
"If you are inconvenienced, there is no need to come over." Mrs. Liang apologized.
Minglan held her belly in her hands and smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, I've been doing well these past few months. If my aunt has something to do, we, as juniors, have to come and take a look."
After the conversation and greetings, everyone took their seats.
Grandma Liang was about thirty years old. She was petite, thin, and of average good looks. She glanced at Minglan and the others warily, shook off her handkerchief, and continued the topic she had just talked about - complaining about how difficult it was to live under Mrs. Liang.
.
"...But I want to eat a quail egg, which is such a precious thing. My mother-in-law just answered me perfunctorily, and if she didn't, she would secretly say that I was messing around. If it had been my younger siblings who had spoken, I'd be afraid that I wouldn't have to catch quails all night long!"
She wiped away her tears as she spoke, "A girl who is only four or five years old, what does she know, yet she still treats her as her grandfather? How can her father compare with her second uncle and fourth uncle..."
This woman is very skillful in complaining, down to the smallest details, and even the smallest things can be blown away. A cup of tea is too late, a bowl of soup is cold, a word or a look can all lead to respect and dignity.
However, there were several women beside her. They talked to each other and helped each other. Some lamented that it was not easy to be the eldest daughter-in-law of a concubine, or they said that Mrs. Liang was sensible and magnanimous, and she would definitely understand the grievances of the eldest grandma.
and difficulties.
Mrs. Liang's face was ashen and she said, "You mean that I am being unfair." Grandma Liang retorted with sobs, "The five fingers are not the same length, not to mention the difference between concubine and concubine. What is the mother's fault?" Mrs. Liang could not look down.
He said, 'I treat my concubines better than my direct descendants', and I had no choice but to choke to death.
Grandma Liang was crying and talking at the same time. Although her face was full of tears, her words were clear and coherent, and she was not just being cruel and rude. Minglan was listening with interest, secretly sighing that it was the first time she had seen such a master.
For example, if you accuse someone politely and say, "Brother Monkey, why do you only get along with Second Senior Brother and always ask me to do the work?", the other person can at least make an excuse or two, "You are greedy and lazy, and Junior Brother Sha, you are stable and reliable."
Even if it may not convince everyone, at least it can be regarded as a statement.
But Grandma Liang didn't act according to the routine, and completely followed the stream of consciousness route. She only said, "You have resentment hidden in your heart, contempt in your eyes, and disgust in your behavior... There is no need to deny it. We are not blind, we can see it completely."
out'.
——When you meet this kind of opponent, how else can you argue other than suppressing your face and saying, "I x your mother"? No wonder even Mo Lan was defeated by her. Ming Lan suddenly realized that the masters are among the people.
Second Grandma Liang was gentle and dignified, and had never spoken back to her elders. Third Grandma felt sorry for her situation and shrank silently. Mo Lan wanted to speak several times, but was afraid of Mrs. Liang's power and did not dare to speak out, so she could only sit aside angrily.
.
Grandma Liang cried and complained for two cups of tea, and finally turned to the topic and said, "You have hurt the feelings of the people of Dafang and are trying to subvert our peaceful life. You can't go on like this anymore."
Mrs. Liang was very angry and sneered: "You want to separate the family, just say it, how can I stop you?"
Unexpectedly, Grandma Liang did not accept the conversation, and continued to cry and wipe her tears, nagging, "The tree has big branches, and it is not a bad thing to separate the families. The love between brothers continues, even if everyone lives apart, they often come here."
I often go there, and it's still generally good. I go around and talk about how to support my two younger brothers.
Mrs. Liang was trembling with anger, "If you want to leave, just leave on your own; why do you have to spare the third and fourth children? I already told you that it won't happen, and you still refuse to give up?!"
Grandma Liang hurried over to support her mother-in-law and said repeatedly: "Mom, calm down. My sister-in-law is just talking to herself. The two uncles and younger siblings have already said that they don't want to separate."
Grandma Liang San and Mo Lan also stood up quickly and both said: "We are willing to serve our mother filially."
Grandma Liang stopped crying immediately, and said with raised eyebrows: "Since the family is going to be divided, naturally all the families will be divided. There is no reason to keep two and leave one. Let's get everything done now, so we won't have to worry about it later."
"
Minglan struggled several times before she realized that not only did the eldest brother of the Liang family want to be separated, but his two younger brothers were also separated?! She turned around and saw Hualan looking at her too, looking suspiciously at each other.
.
Grandma Liang's sister-in-law couldn't sit still and said politely: "Grandma wants to separate the family, but the two younger ones don't want to separate. Why force others to make things difficult? Let's take care of ourselves." She was born in a prominent family in southern Zhejiang, and three generations of her father, grandfather, and brothers have been in officialdom.
When you are an official, regardless of your husband's family, you are always humble and self-reflective. I have never seen such a scoundrel.
Grandma Liang's face changed a few times, then she slowed down and said with a forced smile: "My wife said that was wrong. We are the only brothers who are separated. Wouldn't it seem that we are unfilial?"
Minglan finally couldn't help it anymore and said with a smile: "Grandma Liang is really thoughtful, but she obviously doesn't want to, so why should she separate the family for you?"
Grandma Liang smiled softly: "I can't write the word 'Liang' twice in one stroke. How can my mother and uncles bear to see my eldest brother being pointed out by outsiders?"
Minglan joked: "Didn't Grandma just keep saying bad things about mother-in-law and sisters-in-law? She is so blatantly mean to Grandma, not to mention 'pointing'?!" This is not an argument, but a logical problem.
Grandma Liang was speechless immediately, and the female family members around her sneered softly. Mrs. Liang relaxed her frown and smiled as lightly as melting snow. Grandma Liang turned her head to look at Mrs. Liu gratefully, and Grandma Liang also secretly raised her eyes to look at her.
Ming Lan and Mo Lan had complicated expressions. They looked at everyone for a while and then stared out the window.
Minglan added another sentence, "Besides, everyone has eyes for filial piety and unfilial piety. (·~) It has only been less than a hundred days since I passed away. Even if I have a huge grievance, I should endure it, but some people are making trouble to separate the family, haha."
Grandma Liang gritted her teeth, knowing that what she said was reasonable. If she hadn't been afraid of bad publicity, she would have become even more violent.
Seeing this, Hua Lan laughed loudly and said, "Isn't it done? Aunt Liang has already spoken. Those who want to live a happy life in their own families will be separated; those who are not willing to separate the families will stay. Although the brothers are close, they are different from each other.
Let's go our separate ways so that everyone can get together and part ways."
After a pause, she suppressed her smile and said coldly, "No one is afraid of making trouble, but for the sake of face, I hope that the family will be harmonious. I advise the eldest grandma to just let it go."
Second Grandma Liang was confident, straightened her back slightly, and said politely: "Sister-in-law, the third brother and the fourth brother are indistinguishable anyway. You can do whatever you want." Since her husband inherited the title, she has always enjoyed the food of her eldest sister-in-law.
First in line.
Grandma Liang had a calm face and said nothing. A woman next to her came out and said with a smile: "We are all from our own family. We are in a hurry to talk. Look at this. In fact, Grandma has nothing else on her mind. But
When the children grow up, they must be separated."
She happily smoothed things over and said, "...if the family is to be separated, how will Madam plan to divide it?"
Mrs. Liang did not hesitate: "The sacrificial field cannot be touched, and the Yongye field cannot be touched. The fifth girl has not left the palace yet. Leave a dowry for her, and the rest will be divided equally into four parts, one for each family."
Grandma Liang jumped up again and said sharply: "This can't be done! The row of shops on Huaixi Street, the other two bank buildings, and the two houses he bought four years ago, dad has already said that they are for us.
Industry, how can these be regarded as belonging to the public?"
"Since it was purchased four years ago, why hasn't the master handed these over to you for so long?" Mrs. Liang asked.
Grandma Liang bit her lip and twisted the handkerchief with her fingers.
Mrs. Liang stared at her and said word by word: "You can't tell when the beauty is prosperous, and I like it too. But if something happens, you are the eldest sister-in-law, but you don't want to bear any burden. It doesn't matter if there is a flood in the house.
It doesn’t matter if my parents or brothers are in trouble, as long as I am good, I don’t care about anything else! Master understood this, so he took over the property and asked me to share it equally."
Grandma Liang's face was tense and turned white. After a while, she suddenly threw herself on her knees and burst into tears: "There are four brothers in the family, and only his eldest brother is working hard outside. What can I do? There is no good way out for me.
He can earn a living through blood and fire! He has made his family famous, respected his father and brothers, and earned a lot of property. Unfortunately, he is only in his early thirties, and he is already covered with injuries. His legs will hurt when it is cold, and his back will be bruised by gangrene when it is hot.
Come on, my old injury aches on a rainy day, and not a single part of my body is healed!"
She cried sadly, stamped her feet and beat her chest and said: "The second brother has a good life. He spends the whole day reading and admiring flowers. He is free and at ease. He has the title of his ancestors to inherit. The third and fourth brothers are also comfortable at home, with his eldest brother supporting him outside.
, no one dares to look down upon it..."
Mrs. Liang was furious when she heard this: "Speaking of truth, you are just afraid that your brothers will take advantage of you. Don't worry, even if we are in disaster, we still have a few relatives we can rely on, and we can't even ask for food at your doorstep!"
"
When she heard the word "relatives", Grandma Liang felt alarmed. Although except for her husband, the remaining three Liangs were just lantern goods with beautiful displays, but she couldn't stand it. From the mother-in-law to the two sisters-in-law, there were all the people behind her.
Together with the powerful in-laws.
Her mind turned, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Minglan looking at her with a smile, and she immediately shrank her neck.
The noble lady sitting behind Mrs. Liang snorted coldly, "Huh, I'm sorry that the boss of the Liang family was born and raised. He doesn't need to be raised or taught by my sister and brother-in-law. He brought a lot of good skills from his mother's womb, and he is a martial arts star!"
Grandma Liang remained silent, lowering her eyes with resentment.
Seeing this, Minglan felt bored.
It is understandable that a capable elder brother does not want to be held back by an incompetent younger brother and wants to be responsible for his own profits and losses. Mr. and Mrs. Liang relied on the strength of their concubines and the weakness of their legitimate relatives to plan the family separation. Seeing that their father died and their legitimate mother was proud, they asked some relatives and friends to help.
The success rate was originally very high, but unfortunately they forgot that there are still three pounds of nails in the broken ship.
No matter how incompetent the brothers are, no matter how arrogant the aunt is, the in-laws of the family still cannot be underestimated. Behind Mrs. Liang and Second Grandma Liang, there is a governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, a minister of household affairs, and two famous families who have repeatedly been in power.
Counting the three families of Sheng Gu and Yuan.
No matter how capable Mr. Liang is, he can't offend all these people at once.
The fetus probably sensed Minglan's boredom and moved a few times. Minglan just let out a soft sigh, frowned and covered her belly. Mrs. Liang saw this and hurriedly asked: "Is there anything wrong?"
Minglan slowly stroked her belly and said with a smile: "It's okay, I guess I've been sitting for too long."
Mrs. Liang knew that it was not appropriate to ask Ming Lan to go back immediately, so she turned to Mo Lan and said: "The back room here is quite clean. Go with your sister and have a rest. After things calm down, we can talk about other things."
Mo Lan complied meekly and lowered her head to help Ming Lan. Xiao Tao, who was serving beside her, cleverly took the lead and separated them from the side without leaving a trace. She supported Ming Lan and said with a naive smile: "Fourth girl, please go ahead.
"
Mo Lan glanced at the master and servant, then moved slowly towards the back with light steps. Ming Lan and Xiao Tao followed. Before leaving the side hall, she heard the mother of Grandma Liang speaking slowly. The old lady's voice was old.
Determined - "If we want to separate the family, let's put it bluntly. Why bother talking about the aunt's being mean? It shows the petty family spirit in vain. The father-in-law's family is very rich even if he has one share. As a junior, you should take a long-term view and save everything.
It’s better to be on the front line…”
Minglan nodded secretly after hearing this. This combination of persuasion and threats was really powerful.
Passing around a large red sandalwood glass screen with painted peonies and Ruyi patterns, he turned two more corners and came to an elegant and spacious side room with a couch set up against the wall and a table and chairs by the window. Among them was a large Ruyi
round table.
Xiaotao helped Minglan sit down on the soft couch, bent down to remove her shoes, lifted her legs onto the couch, and whispered: "It's swollen again." Then she rubbed it gently, and Minglan made a pleasant sound, feeling sore and swollen.
The calves are unspeakably comfortable.
Mo Lan sat opposite Ming Lan, watching the Liang Mansion's maid serve hot tea and snacks, and then retreated from everyone. The charcoal stove grille with the hole on the side, as the air flow surged, could faintly hear the sound of arguing in the front hall.
She glanced at Xiao Tao who refused to leave, and then looked at Minglan. Minglan was also looking at her, and the room was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.
The two of them were so familiar that it was useless for Mo Lan to pretend to be weak and pitiful, and it was useless for Minglan to pretend to be honest and honest.
We have fought, quarreled, tit-for-tat, framed each other, and now, even if we don’t know how many intestines there are in the other party’s belly, we at least know the shape and color of those intestines.
Mo Lan chuckled lightly and said, "Sixth brother-in-law has gone out again. Does Sixth Sister feel lonely? Alas, I just hope that Sixth Brother-in-law will come back safely."
Minglan held the warm cup in her hands and ignored the words. She said with a calm expression, "I heard that after Mr. Hou passed away, Aunt Liang took the decision herself and sent away many girls in my sister's courtyard."
Mo Lan's face darkened, but she couldn't help but defend, "My husband has to observe mourning for three years, so there is no need to delay those girls."
"——That's it." Minglan smiled.
Seeing the look on her sister's face, Mo Lan became even more angry. Her mother-in-law was dissatisfied with her, and she had expressed her dissatisfaction overtly and covertly. Whenever she talked about the Gu family, she would always say something like, "Mrs. Gu Hou is the one who is blessed to be prosperous."
man of'.
"You..." Mo Lan bit her lip, "Do you think I'm useless?"
Minglan smiled and said: "When it comes to children, future, and love between husband and wife, the eldest sister, the fifth sister, and I, the fourth sister, just compare it yourself."
Mo Lan's eyes showed resentment. She stood up and took a few steps towards Minglan. Xiao Tao jumped up and stood in front of the soft couch, saying loudly: "Fourth girl, if you come within three steps of our girl, I will be rude!"
"
She has been physically strong since she was a child, and in the past few years she has learned some boxing skills from Gu Quan and others, so she can knock down all the stay-at-home girls.
Mo Lan stared: "How dare you?!"
Xiaotao stared back: "Fourth girl, that time you took broken porcelain pieces to scratch our girl's face, I still remember it. Mother Fang said that if there is another time, just touch the fourth girl's face, you're welcome!"
Mo Lan staggered in anger, knowing that Xiao Tao was honest and honest, and looking at her strong and round body, she could only sit back in the chair, patted the armrests bitterly, and cursed in a low voice: "I have been unlucky since I was a child.
Okay, I’m just going to make you laugh today.”
Minglan raised her body slightly and said with a smile: "Since I was a child, whenever something bad happens to me, my sister always blames others. Maybe she blames her father for not loving her enough, or she blames her grandmother for being partial, or she blames her sisters for getting in the way. This problem still exists today.
It hasn’t changed. This marriage was planned by my sister. There is no one to complain about, so I just leave it to luck. Why don’t you think about it, maybe all of this is your own fault?"
Mo Lan was furious, with veins popping out on his forehead, and yelled: "What am I not good at?! Do you want me to watch you all climb high branches one by one, and sit back and wait for death?"
Minglan didn't move at all and said quietly: "Since Aunt Lin taught my sister not to 'sit back and wait for death', she has been wrong."
"You...!" Mo Lan was furious.
Minglan said calmly: "What did Aunt Lin teach me? I can tell from looking at my sister's current behavior. It's nothing more than competing for favors, rectifying concubines, controlling husbands and sons, dividing favors, provoking, and flattering...
"
She chuckled softly, "To be honest, it's no wonder that Aunt Liang is dissatisfied with my sister. What is Aunt Lin's identity, and what is my sister's identity? A good wife wants to imitate the concubines, and she wants to use these sneaky tricks to make a living.
.”
Mo Lan clenched the table with her fingers tightly and said hoarsely: "Don't talk about my aunt, she has suffered enough now!" Thinking of her visit to her biological mother at the village earlier, the beautiful and elegant Aunt Lin in the past has now become a woman.
A rough-tempered old woman.
"Who else can teach me besides her? If I don't listen to her and believe her, what else can I do?!"
Minglan looked at her, shook her head and said: "Mother Kong, my grandmother, and even my father often lectured us sisters, but my sister didn't listen. Are you unlucky? What about the eldest sister? Has Aunt Liang ever plotted against my sister?
Did you put people in your house? Did you mean to bully your children? Oh...I forgot, the fourth sister has not given birth yet."
Mo Lan was filled with anger and frustration, and for a moment she felt discouraged and decadent. She felt that her life was hopeless, and she wanted to scratch Minglan's face, but her body seemed to be frozen, unable to move, and she could only stare at Minglan bitterly.
"The eldest brother-in-law once said that the fourth brother-in-law is not a playboy, but he is young, fun-loving, soft-hearted, and easily provoked, but his bones are not bad. If you keep a close eye on him and work hard, you will be successful."
Minglan recalled Hua Lan's words and said softly, "Even if the fourth brother-in-law doted on Aunt Chun at first, sister Ruo could show some reason, earnestly persuade her husband to make progress, and reprimand Aunt Chun for her unreasonable troubles. Aunt Liang is still not happy enough, how can she not give it to her?
Sister, can you support me? On this road, my sister can use more tricks. How can my fourth brother-in-law not listen?"
"But my sister refuses to take the right path and pursues crooked ways. In order to compete with my aunt, she keeps getting beautiful maids for her husband and husband in order to divide the favor, which makes the house full of chaos. Over the past few years, everyone has
My brother-in-law has earned several times the dowry for my eldest sister, but what about the fourth brother-in-law? After marrying my sister, he has not made any progress in his official career in the past few years! I just ask my sister, if something unexpected happens to Aunt Liang someday, and you two separate families, the four of you will go out.
Can my brother-in-law support the family?"
Minglan took a breath and said deeply: "If I were a mother, seeing that my son, who was still able to have sex before, had no ambition to seduce his daughter-in-law, and spent all day hanging out among the flowers, how could I like that daughter-in-law?
!”
Liu is a textbook example of urging her husband to work hard and make progress.
Bang, bang, bang - a loud clap.
Mo Lan sneered and clapped her hands, and said loudly: "Okay, that's good. After all, I became a first-class wife. As expected, what I said is very clear. I just call my incompetent sister. I wish I could kill her and be reincarnated again."
Okay! Now that my sister has made a great success, don’t just sit back and ridicule her, at least try to give her a hand!"
Looking at her distorted and fierce face, Minglan was quiet for a while, and then suddenly said: "The fifth sister went to work abroad with her brother-in-law, and the fourth sister never asked, do you know where they went?"
Mo Lan snorted disdainfully: "It doesn't matter where the corners are, you are a little official with sesame seeds and mung beans!"
"...It's Quanzhou." Minglan said softly, "The place where dad took us to live. The fifth brother-in-law was capable and took care of his own business, but dad pushed him in the end."
After saying this, Minglan let out a long breath and said: "I have rested enough. I will go to the front to say goodbye. There is no need to see my sister off, so let's just say goodbye." After that, she got out of bed and put on her shoes.
After walking out of the door, Xiaotao held her tightly and muttered: "The girl is so kind, how can the fourth girl be worthy of her! She thinks you are laughing at your kind words!"
Minglan rubbed Xiaotao's bangs and said with a smile: "Silly girl, sometimes we have to do things that are 'should' rather than things that are 'necessary'." Just think of doing a good deed for Mrs. Liang, she treats herself well.
good.
…
Mo Lan sat in the chair, as if powerless, and her mind went blank——
Quanzhou, what a wonderful place it is.
The air is moist and warm, and there are sparkling pools of water everywhere, reflecting the light blue and clear sky. Among the fragrant fish and rice, there are the immature songs of children, and there are also Western goods shipped from the other side of the sea...
That was her best time.
At that time, she was her father's favorite daughter, and her biological mother, Mrs. Lin, was so respectable. When she went out to play or entertained guests, any lady would not praise her for her beauty and intelligence. She was even more elegant than the two direct children.
Quanzhou, Quanzhou, Wen Yanjing, her father's arrangement... Originally, these were all hers.
For a moment, she felt as if she was lost.
The author has something to say: I hate September, the prickly heat on my back turned into sweat rash, and my husband at home became fat.
