Mother Lin went out to see the doctor off. Chu Yunli sat motionless on her chair. Soon she heard her footsteps entering the door. When she heard the sound, she turned and looked at the door.
Chu Yunli was not really blind, so she naturally saw the confusion on Mother Lin's face, "Mom, has the doctor left? Did he leave any medicine?" She stretched out her hand to touch her eyes, "If I can't see anymore, what will I do in the future?
?”
As he spoke, tears came down.
When she cried, Mother Lin couldn't stop her tears. She covered her face and squatted at the door and cried, "Why is my life so miserable..."
Chu Yunli secretly complained, "It's my eyes that are blind. Why are you suffering so much?"
She lay on the table, feeling empty in her stomach. After recalling it, it seemed that she had eaten yesterday's afternoon meal. Hu Lanyue stayed up all night last night, and it was already noon today. No wonder she was so hungry.
She was hungry and sleepy. Now that she was blind, she couldn't cook. She lay on the table and fell asleep soon after.
When she woke up, it was already dusk outside and it was getting dark. During this period, Mrs. Lin didn't ask her to get up to eat. And at this hour, there seemed to be no one at home.
Chu Yunli got up and went out, and went directly into the kitchen. As expected, Mrs. Lin didn't even cook, the pot and even the kitchen were empty.
How are you going to live this day?
She was thinking about whether to go out and ask the neighbors for food and spread the word about her blindness. After all, she couldn't see because she was doing embroidery. Before she even moved her feet, she saw Mother Lin walking out of the village out of the corner of her eye.
I brought the old lady here with me, and it turned out that in the past half day, she had actually returned to the county town.
Looking at it like this, Mother Lin had no intention of helping her treat her eyes. She didn't even want to raise her.
In this case, there had to be a scene before leaving. Chu Yunli fell to the ground with a groan, lying on his face and crying, "Why can't I see you?"
This sound could be heard in the whole village. The neighbors on the left and right quickly went out and saw her lying on the ground outside the fenced yard, "What's going on?"
"I can't see." Chu Yunli cried, "The doctor said I shouldn't stay up late to embroider..."
When Mother Lin approached with the old lady, she saw her daughter-in-law lying on the ground crying heartbroken. It was only then that she remembered that it seemed that her attitude was a little too calm after she realized that she couldn't see. This is quite normal now. This is
I just reacted now.
Before the old woman entered the door, she saw what was happening in the yard and ran in quickly, "Lanyue, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Yunli hugged her and cried in her arms, "I can't see."
"I've been staying up late these past two months." A woman next to me whispered, "Sometimes I see candles burning all night long, so I'm not afraid of wasting lamp oil."
"It won't be a waste. I heard that I can embroider. Isn't it because I stayed up late and embroidered?"
"It must be true. If you stay up all night without working, no one can survive it!"
Hearing these comments, the old woman was very angry and said, "My mother-in-law, is this how you treat your daughter-in-law?"
"Why should I let her embroider?" Mother Lin looked aggrieved, "It's because she couldn't sleep at night because of her sadness. I've burned a lot of lamp oil in the past two months, but I never said anything wrong with her, including food.
I prepared all the clothes and sent them in, and I helped her wash the clothes. A family like ours is no better than a wealthy family that calls slaves and maids. Go to the village and ask, who’s mother-in-law can do what I do?
?”
The old woman was speechless. Seeing the person lying in her arms, she couldn't bear to ask her these questions at this time, and she didn't want to argue with Mother Lin. Since she dared to say this, it must be true.
No matter what the reason is, it doesn’t make sense for a daughter-in-law to ask her mother-in-law to serve her. It is her daughter who is at fault. She bent down to help Chu Yunli up and said worriedly, "Let's go see the doctor."
Chu Yunli didn't move, "Look doctor, but we don't have any money, and all my embroidery was taken away by my mother-in-law."
At this time, there were more and more people outside the fence courtyard, and many people suddenly realized what they said. Some people whispered for a while, "I also said that the Lin family has changed their temper and become more generous. The candles are lit all night. It turns out that
If you let your daughter-in-law stay up late to embroider, whatever she earns will be hers. She is really calculating."
The voices were neither high nor low, and some said humanely, "It's unusual for my daughter-in-law to come here for two months. Is she locked in the house and doing embroidery?"
"It is said that the son Xiao's mother can give birth to two talented women. She is not simple-minded."
Although they were discussed in a low voice, everyone inside and outside the courtyard could hear these words. Chu Yunli cried and raised her voice, "You are not allowed to talk about my mother-in-law. She said that she would give the money to my brother-in-law to study. When he is in high school, our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will
That’s all I can rely on.”
As soon as these words came out, the scene was quiet for a moment.
Let the widowed eldest daughter-in-law earn money to educate her younger son. If no one makes a fuss, it would be normal. We are all a family. But when I heard Chu Yunli's words, I just felt extremely awkward. Why did I feel so bullied?
"That's not the case." Mother Lin responded quickly, "I was afraid that you would spend it randomly, so I helped you keep it. Besides, you are a newly widowed person, so it's not appropriate for you to go to the county seat by yourself, right?"
"Really?" Chu Yunli said in a surprised tone, "Then can you give me some money to treat my eyes? I heard what the doctor just said. If I want an acupuncture doctor to treat my eyes, it will cost hundreds of taels of money. I
I heard that I earned more than 20 taels from embroidery in the past two months?"
Mother Lin couldn't hide it even if she wanted to. It was recorded in the book at the embroidery house. What was embroidered, when it was taken and what day it was returned, whether the finished product was good, and how much money was spent, all were recorded one by one.
Okay.
However, Lin Lixia comes back once a month and has taken away the ten taels of silver she earned last month. She will come back to get it in two days. It is absolutely impossible to take out this silver if Mother Lin wants it.
He grimaced, looked at the old woman and said, "This is a disaster star. Our Lin family doesn't want it anymore. You can take it back today."
The old woman's face changed, "You can't be such a rogue." Although she wanted to take her daughter back, she was the one to pick her up, not to be kicked out like this.
"My son fell off a horse in order to marry her, and he is gone." Mother Lin began to cry, "I am also a reasonable person, and when I encounter someone who is unreasonable, I have to ask you mother and daughter to return my son to me.
, that was a scholar who spent a lot of money to read it out. Now that she can’t see her, it’s impossible for her to ask me, the mother-in-law, to serve her? If she really wants to, then am I marrying my daughter-in-law? I’m asking for it.
An ancestor comes back to serve you!"
"Take her back and cancel the marriage. I will not investigate the cause of my son's death. I will pretend that I have never married this wife and accept my fate!"
How could the old woman agree? She hugged Chu Yunli tightly and started to behave, "When we got married, my daughter's eyes were fine. Your son wouldn't get seriously injured while riding a horse. I also let her marry her. It's a sign of affection."
You're just right. As a result, you forced me to embroider day and night. Now that my eyes can't see, you don't want it anymore. It's a beautiful idea! My old lady is in this yard today. If you don't return the dowry to me, don't give my daughter these two
If you give me the money you earn every month, I won’t leave! If you’re forced to do anything, I’ll die here!”
It is impossible to repay the money!
Mother Lin sneered immediately, "My son was seriously injured, and it was her fault! I didn't ask you to compensate my son, which is already very reasonable. I don't have any money!"
Chu Yunli kept crying, looking at Mother Lin's feet, her voice choked with sobs, "Mom, do you really don't want me anymore?"
"You can go back." Mother Lin waved her hand, "You are widowed at a young age, and it is our Lin family that is making things difficult for you. Later I will ask Li Xia to send you a letter of release from your wife."
Why are you looking back? It’s best to break up with them after taking it now!
Out of the corner of her eye, Chu Yunli saw Lin Lixia coming from a distance outside the crowd. He was also a good-looking scumbag, and he could think of such a beautiful thing as having two wives, and later he wanted to give his eldest brother a heir.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that the Lin family cannot stay.
! "But when I married into the Lin family, I regarded this place as my own home. If you force me to leave, I will never come back."
"Let's go, let's go!" Mother Lin waved her hand. She also saw her son approaching from a distance, "I will give you the wife's release letter now."
Lin Lixia also rushed back after hearing something happened at home. Lin's mother actually went to the county town to look for him, but she didn't find anyone, but someone left a message for him. Seeing the messy situation in the yard, she saw Chu
Yunli's dull eyes that rarely moved around asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
Before Mother Lin could speak, Chu Yunli said first, "Mother said you would come back in two or three days, so she asked me to work on the embroidery and stay up for a few nights. I couldn't help but fall asleep this morning, and I couldn't see anymore.
Already."
Hearing this, Lin Lixia observed carefully for a while and said suspiciously, "If you are sick, see a doctor! Where are you going?"
Mother Lin lost her patience, waved her hand and said, "Let them go back. In Lixia, write a release letter and tell her that she is sick and let her go home."
"No!" the old woman's voice became louder, "my daughter is a widow, you blinded her, and now you blame her for her eye disease. You can write a release letter. But you have to write it because your Lin family is afraid of being dragged down by your daughter-in-law. This is
Let her come home."
The old woman said that the Lin family would definitely not agree to this. Later, one of them took a step back and said that the marriage between Hu Lanyue and Lin Lichun was over. She was allowed to return home and the two families would have nothing to do with each other in the future.
As for the income from dowry and embroidery, all the proceeds will be returned.
No, it's not enough. I won't leave until I return the old lady's favor. Staying here is bad for Lin Lixia's reputation. It is said that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Mother Lin feels that she is the one who wears shoes. Her son's reputation is important. If someone falls into the trap,
How can Lin Lixia live a good life despite her reputation for giving dowry to her eldest daughter-in-law and subsidizing her younger son's private property?
Only after paying back ten taels of silver and writing an IOU for ten taels did the matter come to an end.
After noisy for such a long time, the sky had darkened. No matter how unwilling the old woman was, she had no choice but to take her daughter home. If she delayed any longer, she would have to go on the night journey.
The old woman found a carriage and helped her up. Money was easy to find. After getting on the carriage, she kept comforting Chu Yunli, "Let's go see the doctor. The doctor said that your eyes can't be cured. He is a quack."
There are many doctors in the county, so let’s see a few more and decide which one will be better.”
Chu Yunli felt a little emotional that Hu Lanyue had a bad marriage, but she met two good elders.
She blinked, approached the old woman, and said, "Mom, actually I'm fine."
Seeing her smart eyes, the old woman was stunned for a moment, then she pulled the carriage curtain tighter, then hugged her, tears fell down, and she said fearfully, "I'm scared to death, old woman."
There was a carriage driver outside. The two of them didn't talk much. Gradually it became dark outside, and they finally rushed into the city before nightfall. This carriage driver was from Lujiao Town, and the old woman had no intention of letting him go to her door, so she asked him at the city gate.
After sending the people away, they found another carriage and took Dowry and Chu Yunli back.
The old woman's yard is not big. It is on the back street of the county town. The yards here are not big. It is autumn now, and there are many scholars studying here who will take the provincial examination next year living in the alley.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, and the old woman helped her in first, and then asked someone to help carry her things back. When someone asked, she said that the Lin family had let her back, but she didn't say the reason.
Of course, no one would ask. What happened when Lin Lichun came to welcome his bride was considered unusual in the county. Everyone in the nearby streets knew about it. It was not common for widows to return home after a death there.
.
After all the things were moved into the house, the old woman came in and saw Chu Yunli looking at the release letter on the table. She couldn't help but said, "It's just a dead person, don't worry about it."
What are you thinking about?
Even if it were the real Hu Lanyue, she wouldn't think about the culprit of all this.
Seeing that she was not sad even though she was looking at the paper, the old lady held her hand and said happily, "Starting tomorrow, I will find some home remedies to get through it. After that, you will slowly recover."
This can be done!
Although many people say that the folk remedy is useless, it is not absolute. If the eyes are cured with the folk remedy, no one can say that there is a problem.
