The old lady stood outside the courtyard door on crutches, looking at the chaotic mourning hall. Behind her were a group of women who were trying to remain calm with trembling expressions.
At this time, there is no need for men and women to avoid her. If she avoids her any more, there will be no one left to support the old lady.
"Mom, do you dare to come out?" My uncle shouted, "Well done, let's go see the official right now!"
"My nephew, you have misunderstood!" the old lady said in a deep voice, using her cane.
"Misunderstanding?" The sister-in-law stood up and sneered in a hoarse voice after crying, "Old madam, everyone is dead. This misunderstanding is not misunderstood. It is not you who has the final say? Who knows that you are here to give me something?
Should our uncle take a concubine or find a new wife?"
The old lady's expression changed, and she knew that she couldn't hide this matter.
The reason why the daughter-in-law was lying in the coffin was because she had a fall in her house. The fall was because the two had an argument. The daughter-in-law turned around and ran away in anger. The reason why the daughter-in-law turned around and ran away in anger was because she told her that she would take a concubine for her son.
thing.
What's wrong with this? The son is the eldest son in the family. After so many years of marriage, no son has been born yet, but daughters have come one after another. It's rare that this is not a woman in the family. Can't she, the mother-in-law, give her son another gift for the sake of the family?
Concubine?
This incense is a matter of course!
What's wrong with her!
The only fault was that her daughter-in-law died in her house!
The old lady tightened her grip on the crutch in her hand, her palms covered with sweat.
"Yunniang is not dead!" She said every word.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was stunned.
First, the person standing closest was stunned, and then everyone passing by was stunned.
At this moment when the morning light was about to break out, the lanterns in the yard also lost their light, and became a blur, and the people standing opposite seemed to be unable to see each other clearly.
At this time, the old lady seemed to be in a cloud in the eyes of everyone.
"What did you say?" shouted the eldest father-in-law.
"I said Yun Niang is not dead!" the old lady said at the beginning, and the rest of her words became smoother.
It doesn't work if it doesn't go smoothly. At this moment, I can only bite the bullet.
This time everyone heard it clearly. Not only the relatives were shocked, but also the people in my own family were stunned.
The old lady was so stimulated that she went crazy?
The beaten uncle was so embarrassed that he was eager to protect his mother. He jumped up from the ground and grabbed the eldest father-in-law.
"My mother has something wrong with her, and I'm not done with you!" he shouted.
Now it's up to him to take charge. For a moment, he felt a little ecstatic in his heart. I don't have to be afraid of them anymore!
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight again, the old lady stepped on her crutches and raised her voice.
"Stop it! Didn't you hear what I said? Yun Niang is not dead! She is sick! This is treating her illness!"
People on both sides of the room sat down, and the girls served tea and hurriedly left, lest the masters' inappropriate words or actions would be seen.
There are many people with mixed opinions, and everyone is a person with an identity, so it is better to deal with it behind closed doors.
"You said this big battle is for the purpose of curing illnesses?" the in-laws asked, looking at the person opposite.
"Yes, no one knows about this except me and the doctor." The old lady said after plastic surgery.
A maid hurried in from outside and whispered something in the ear of my sister-in-law.
The in-laws' sister-in-law immediately threw the tea cup on the table.
"My mother-in-law, don't you think we are all fools?" She sneered, "Everyone has seen it, I'm exhausted, my body is stiff, how can I treat the disease? Are you okay?"
"Ms. Cheng's wife said it's a disease, so it's a disease!" The old lady said solemnly without giving in.
Looking at the old lady's expression, she was either crazy or this was indeed the case.
The eldest father-in-law and the others couldn't help but look at each other.
"Who is the wife of the Cheng family?" someone asked.
When I asked who the wife of the Cheng family was, no one answered for a while.
It's not that they don't want to answer, it's that they don't know how to answer.
Just two months ago, the house next door to the river, which had been empty for a long time, was rented out. It seemed that someone moved in in the middle of the night, and the neighbors didn't see who it was. Only the next day did they see a little girl coming out to buy something.
He Heqing speaks softly and softly, which is the accent of Jianghuai in the south.
"Is it the doctor?" the in-laws interjected and asked.
The maid who stood at the door to answer the question nodded hesitantly.
"I didn't know at first that some time ago, the youngest son of the mute family on East Street had a high fever and refused to stop talking nonsense. He went to see Liu Daopo and said he couldn't do it anymore. When the mute family was crying and fighting for their lives, Mrs. Cheng's
The girl happened to be passing by and said that her wife could cure this disease. As long as the mute family heard the word "can cure", they didn't care about anything. They took the baby and sent it away. Sure enough, he sent it in the morning, woke up in the afternoon and ate a big bowl.
After dinner, I got out of bed and ran around as if nothing had happened the next day," she said.
The people on the door are all rough ladies. They love to hear rumors and gossip. They love this kind of magical neighborhood things the most. When they talk about it, they can't help but point their fingers and salivate.
The old lady coughed heavily, and the servant girl woke up. Thinking of who she was facing, she quickly shrank her head and stopped talking.
No woman is a serious doctor, she just gets a folk remedy for a certain disease.
My in-laws disdain it.
"No, no." The servant girl felt that this was detrimental to her reputation as a well-informed person, so she waved her hands boldly and said, "Not only this one, but also the old woman from the pig butcher's house in Dongshi, who was greedy and ate too many peaches.
People with diarrhea were not angry anymore. It was the girl from the Cheng family who heard from the waiter when she was buying meat, so she invited her wife to take a look at it in the afternoon. After sending it out in the evening, everything was fine. She could still carry it the next day.
I'm here to see my grandson."
The eldest father-in-law frowned.
The maid at the door spoke like a strong wind. She focused on grabbing the top of the conversation and developed a good skill. When she saw the elder of the family frowning, she took a breath and immediately spoke again.
"Since then, Mrs. Cheng has become famous, and many people have come to seek medical treatment. However, the girl from the Cheng family has said that her house is not closed, and those who come to seek medical advice can just come in. There is only one thing, it must not be cured.
The disease is incurable," she said.
These words made everyone in the room curious.
The servant girl took a breath at this time.
"What does it mean that a non-incurable disease cannot be cured?" A woman on the eldest relative's side couldn't help but ask.
Now it was up to her to decide what to say, and the maid breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the people inside and outside the door were actually the same.
"That is to say, she doesn't treat those with headaches, fever, coughs and other non-life-threatening diseases, and leaves them to go to the medical clinic. She only treats those who are deemed to have incurable diseases and are waiting to die," she said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was surprised.
"This is really crazy." The ladies said one after another.
"That's not arrogance." The servant woman added hurriedly, "The wife of the Cheng family said that she is a woman and it is inconvenient to practice medicine. She just cannot see the suffering of life, old age, illness and death of all living beings, so she has no choice but to act rashly."
After hearing what she said, several women couldn't help but chant the Buddha's words of compassion.
These women were the only ones who believed such compassionate words, and the eldest father-in-law and his uncle-in-law both curled their lips slightly.
A good one has trouble practicing medicine, a good one takes retreat in order to advance, and welcomes when he is disappointed.
"The people who went to seek help from the Cheng family's wife these days are indeed seriously ill and have recovered." The servant woman finally stopped talking.
There was a murmur of conversation in the room.
There are many strange people and strange things in this world, which may seem absurd, but it is impossible to generalize them all.
"Then what's going on with my sister now? If that's the case, why don't you get treatment quickly? What are you doing with this?" the eldest father-in-law shouted in a deep voice.
"Just rush." The old lady said without blushing, and her heart stopped beating. Seeing the eldest in-law's brows twitching, she quickly added, "It was the Cheng family lady who said it, and she must be really serious, otherwise she won't be able to do it."
effect."
"Then is she a witch or a doctor? Let's have a look!" said the elder brother-in-law, with veins popping out on his face.
He rushed and almost killed his parents! Is there such a rush?
"I'm not a doctor, I don't know." The old lady said calmly, "I just want to save my daughter-in-law's life, not to mention the funeral, even if I have to lie in the coffin."
Seeing the old lady's solemn and upright expression, the women who came from the in-laws couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in their hearts.
How many mothers-in-law are there in the world who dare to do even the most taboo things to their daughter-in-law?
The eldest father-in-law coughed.
"It's useless to talk beautifully." He said with a sneer, but his expression was no longer as irresistible as when he first arrived and insisted on demolishing other people's homes.
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, but then took another breath and looked at the old lady.
Yes, nice words don't work, the key is...
"Why haven't you invited Mrs. Cheng here yet?" the old lady raised her eyebrows and asked, "It's already dawn!"
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Sister Yuan's nanny ran in.
"Is Mrs. Cheng's wife here?" the old lady couldn't help but stand up and asked.
So what kind of person is the wife of the Cheng family? Everyone present was busy looking outside.
The mist outside the door gradually receded, the morning light first appeared, and it was empty and deserted.
"The girl from the Cheng family said that her wife couldn't go out because she was still ill, so she asked us to send her there." The wet nurse stammered.
The maid at the door was still there, and after hearing this, she joined in the fun without waiting for orders.
"That's right, Mrs. Cheng's wife never goes out. She always sends people in, and she can only leave one family member with her at a time." She nodded hurriedly.
"Then send him there quickly," the old lady said hurriedly.
This was more to her liking, as it would prevent her relatives from asking questions and asking questions.
The servant responded and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." The elder brother-in-law spoke again, stood up, looked at the nanny, and knitted his brows together, "What did you just say? Is the Cheng family's wife still ill?"
The wet nurse nodded.
That's what the girl said.
"She herself has not recovered from her illness, so why should she treat an incurable disease?" the elder in-law said coldly.
