The ancestral hall of the Duan’s new house is at the back of the old lady’s yard. The front room is for the spiritual seat of the ancestors of the Duan family. There is a small house at the back with only one bed and one table inside. The second sister sent the old lady here.
At that time, in front of the old lady, the eldest wife, the second wife and Duan Zhangshi, after the elder lady asked lotus, the old lady clutched her chest and said, "These few days, my heart is always a little out of breath. Get angry."
After saying this, no one answered, and the second sister froze underneath, and none of the three of them, the older wife, the second wife, and the Duan Zhangshi, spoke. The second sister had to say: ""Milk" and "Milk" take care of your body. This is the blessing for our children and grandchildren."
The old lady nodded and smiled: "It's hard for you to have this kind of filial piety. I heard people say that if children and grandchildren sincerely pray for the elderly, the bodhisattva will bless and bless them."
The second sister knelt down and said: "The grand-daughter-in-law is willing to pray sincerely to the Bodhisattva for the "milk" and "milk".
The eldest wife smiled and said, "The Haofang family still has filial piety. In this case, mother, how about fulfilling her wish?"
So the second sister was sent here.
She sat at the table and stayed up all night, looking at the small room with closed windows and doors with her eyes open. It seemed that people didn't come to life until dawn.
There must be something wrong.
Is it just that she is off or what? Although the old lady and the big lady sang her in, they didn't kill her. why is that? Are you unsure of her fault or scrupulous about the Wu family? I don't know what's going on at home? Did anyone look at Changwei and Changfu? She didn't go back all night, did they make trouble? It's noisy, no coax. There are two children in her mind, and she is afraid that they will make a noise and she will not be guarded by no one and will be bullied. She is not so anxious because of being locked up here.
The Duan family dared not do anything to her, no matter what it was, the Wu family was standing behind, and the worst was to be deprived.
Thinking of being humiliated, she thought of Duan Haofang. She felt strange that these people deliberately locked her up while Duan Haofang was away? But what's the use of turning her off? Duan Haofang took care of everything in the shop outside, she didn't know at all. Although he opened a few shops under her name, she didn't have the deed of the house or anything, and she had never seen the account book. If they wanted to shut her down while he was away so that they could find those shops, then this calculation would be wrong.
But this seems impossible.
Duan's family now has an old lady, and the four brothers below are in each house. Is Duan Haofang's hand worthless? How is it possible that everyone in the whole family will work together to calculate him? This doesn't make sense. If the old lady dies, Duan Haofang will take the family's money again, which makes sense. But the old man is alive and well. The old man leads Duan Haoshou in charge of all the land and shops of the Duan family. Duan Haofang's things are only sporadic. How can he compare to the entire Duan family
And... Why did the lady mention lotus...
The second sister was upset when she thought of lotus, as if she had been avoiding something. But even if she didn't want to think about it, she was still there. From the day she married to the Duan’s family, “Lotus” has been pressed on her heart, no matter how many times she tells herself not to care about her, it’s useless, even leaving her far away in the old house, until now. Hearing her name still scared her.
What happened to "Lotus"
The old lady’s wife came to bring her food, and pointed to a dish that the old lady had rewarded her. She naturally stood up and thanked her. She wanted to ask her something, but again Afraid to backfire, now she doesn't even know why she is locked here, if she is tempted indiscriminately, she will easily leave a word.
Be patient and wait for the opportunity, a suitable opportunity.
The second sister calmly ate up all the dishes that the old lady had rewarded, and then sent the old lady away with a smile. She still sat motionless at the table when she came back.
Not long after lunch, the second sister saw Changwei and Changfu coming with the old lady's wife from outside, followed by the red flower holding the quilt!
The second sister’s eyes became a little wet, but she still stood up and thanked her for her hard work. She heard her say that the elder wife asked them to bring them over, and then she squatted a blessing in front of her. The mother-in-law smiled and said "milk" and "milk". Just talk to the two young masters. Let's wait outside. Don't worry, the second sister quickly thanked him again. Hong Hua put the quilt down and took out two money to stuff it. She sent her out, so the second sister dared to sit down and hold Changwei and Changfu in her arms.
When Honghua came back, he squinted his head to see that there was no one outside, and then dashedly closed the door, came to the second sister's ear and whispered about Duan Zhangshi and Li's wife, and the second sister hugged the two children. She was stunned when she heard that, no matter how she thought about it, the lotus actually killed her!
No wonder... No wonder she was locked here...!
At this point, the second sister calmed down. She let Honghua stay aside first. She hugged Changwei and Changfu and kissed each other for several eloquences before she said, "Do you want a mother?"
Changfu drilled straight into her arms, Changwei held Changfu in her arms outside, looked up at her and nodded and said, "Yes! When will you go home, mother?"
The second sister's lips trembled and couldn't say anything, she held Changwei's face and kissed him several times, and then whispered in his ear: "Mother, I will tell you a few things, remember, no one can say it! Do it if you take care of your mother!"
Changwei's face was strained, watching her nod silently.
The second sister whispered: "My mother's red "color" box, the one with the green "color" small stone cicada? You know? It's on the cabinet next to the bed in the mother's room, next to the mirror. "
Changwei nodded, and the second sister whispered: "You carry the box into your room and hide it! No one can say it! Don't give it to anyone who wants it!"
Changwei firmly grasped her hand and nodded, the second sister pressed his forehead and kissed fiercely, not wanting to let go. In the mezzanine of the box, there are twenty taels of gold bars given to her by Wu Feng, and the land deed and house deed in her dowry. There are these two things. Even if something happens to her, Changwei and Changfu can protect them. They are a little bit.
The second sister thought for a while, took a bunch of keys from her waist and stuffed them to Changwei, and whispered: "You keep this, you can't give it to Daddy, you know? Keep it yourself!" All these keys are Duan Haofang. Although most of the keys to the boxes given to her were taken by him to open the shop, there were still more than a dozen boxes still, unless Duan Haofang smashed the lock, otherwise these things would be considered as a guarantee in Chang Wei's hands.
At the moment, the second sister only feels that her head is in a mess. No matter how she confesses to the two children, she feels that it is not enough. They are still so young. If she is divorced, what will happen to the two of them? For so many years, she was cautious and didn't dare to make any mistakes. She was afraid that she could not do anything badly. As a result, she did everything. Unexpectedly, Lotus stabbed her in the back!
Is this what she didn't expect? She shouldn't have thought that if you put her far away, you don't have to care about it
On the other end, Honghua listened to the second sister and taught the two children as if she was telling the story. She shed tears at the back while helping the second sister to make the bed.
The second sister hugged the two children and finished speaking, she couldn't help but sighed when she heard the voice of Honghua behind, and told her: "Come here, Honghua."
Safflower's eyes were red, and the second sister looked at her with her two children in her arms and said, "If things go wrong this time, maybe I will be sent back to Wu's house."
Honghua cried and shouted that the girl knelt on the ground. The second sister freed her hand to pull her and said calmly: "The worst is going to happen. When that day comes, I will no longer be able to take care of Changwei and Changfu once I leave. If I leave like this, my reputation will not be good in the future. The two of them must be implicated. The relationship is as thin as paper, and the third master must marry again in the future. I'm afraid He Changfu won't be so much better."
While the second sister said, Hong Hua cried. The second sister’s eye circles were also red. Pushing the two children away, she was about to kneel down for Honghua. She was so horrified that Honghua quickly wanted to help her up. The second sister shook her head and cried with her: "If I leave, leave two children behind. I’m really worried! I only hope that you can watch them grow up for me. Then I will die immediately and feel at ease!"
Hong Hua knocked her head and said, "Don't worry about'milk' or'milk'! I must be optimistic about the people in the house!" The second sister really let Xiu go home. She has already married Precious, so naturally she doesn't have to follow along. Listening to what the second sister said, I was afraid that I would stay in the house to take care of Changwei and Changfu, and I was afraid that people would take the tea to cool down. The two children had suffered a disadvantage before they deliberately confessed such a sentence. This is not only for her to hear, but also for her to tell the others in the room.
The second sister got up when Honghua had agreed, and the two of them sat down and wiped their tears. She knew in her heart that it was natural to say that everything was fine now, but it would be difficult to say after a long time. Even if she is gone, she can't let the two children suffer! She wants to stay with the people in the room and will not give it to the Duan family. She can only rest assured by holding these people in her palms.
When it was about to eat dinner, the old lady's wife came over to lead Changwei and Changfu out. The second sister wanted to have a meal with the children. After hearing this, she could only quickly teach them to be obedient when they came to the big lady. Picky eaters, don't make your wife angry.
"When I saw Changxing and Changlong, I should play with them, and I can't let them go, you know?" The second sister squatted to give Changfu the clothes while teaching him. This child has been favored since he was a child and usually stays at home. Fortunately, now she is not by her side, and she is in someone else's house. If she is bullied, no one will support him. At this time, the second sister only regretted that she was too spoiled before, but now it is too late to regret. Seeing the two children walking with the mother-in-law, the second sister turned around and threw herself on the quilt and started crying. She let people shut up and did not cry. She knew that she might be deprived and did not cry, but she cried when the child left, crying and paying back. Remember not to speak out.
The eldest wife left Changwei and Changfu for dinner, and the elder was very happy when he came back to see them. The two children sitting on the table are much more lively, and even the food is more fragrant than usual. While smiling, she greeted her, and when she finished eating, she asked her trusted wife to send the two children home, and then came back to tell the old lady what happened to the old lady in the morning. The old lady sent breakfast to the second sister when she went back to see the old lady and said: "The three'milks' and'milks' were sitting in the house and did nothing. The old lady ate all the dishes that she rewarded her without a bite. Left."
The old lady asked her: "You three "milks" and "milks" didn't ask you anything?"
The mother-in-law shook her head and said: "The three "milk" and "milk" didn't ask a word, nothing was mentioned.
The old lady let the mother-in-law go down, and the big lady next to her said: "This Haofang family is really calm."
The old lady said, "I'm afraid this matter really has nothing to do with her." She sighed and said, "I think the woman named Li said strange things. Think about it, those two children are over there. It’s been seven or eight years and I haven’t picked it up. Who of us mentioned it? No one remembers it even during New Years and holidays? Why is the Haofang family suddenly having trouble with them? It doesn’t make sense!"
The eldest lady followed: "Isn't it! I think so too! If the Haofang family had no children, it would be nice to say that Changwei and Changfu's two children are so good! Both father and mother like eyeballs. Let alone raised outside, no child in our family can match it!"
The old lady sighed after hearing this: "You! Changxing, your father likes it very much! You don't have to fight with the Haofang family for this." The old lady hurriedly waved her hand and laughed, "This is how I compare." After a while, she laughed again. "Lust" said, "Let me say that this matter has nothing to do with Haofang's family! She has been in our Duan's house for more than ten years. Can we still not know what kind of person it is? I have been guarding the two children, even between the wives and the wives, I never see her running from home to the west every day. Look at the Xu from Haofeng's house..."
The old lady waved her hand and said, "Don't mention her." The eldest lady got up and bowed down before sitting down, and then said: "You know the third younger sister and the Wei family of the Haoping family. The Haofang family takes care of the family. In foreign affairs, I’ve only heard about people looking for her. When did I hear about her looking for someone? Even afterwards, she didn’t see that she was going to fight for a higher order with others. Didn’t she swallow it all by herself? I'm afraid that this time someone will be leaning on her too!"
The old lady nodded and said, "That's the truth. We just don't know what happened over there. It will be clear after a few days when Haofang comes back and ask him. Haofang's family will live behind my house. For a few days, it will save others from coming to her again, and it will save outsiders from making irresponsible remarks."
The old man laughed when she heard her say, "How about it? Just like what I said? The most important thing in my parents' heart is this home, and everything next to it can be put aside. This time, the matter is actually not big. When you look back, let people take care of you, don't the Haofang family also take your affection?"
The eldest wife agreed with a smile, and the two went to sleep after washing. While lying in her sex, she thought, she is in charge of this matter or not, nor does it matter. Yesterday she asked the old man what to do about this matter? Does the old lady want to be strict or to relax? She naturally has her own thoughts. Duan Haofang and Duan Haoshou are well known in her grandson's life. From the heart, Haoshou is not as good as Haofang. Although from the meaning of the old lady, this family will still be handed over to Dafang in the future, but Duan Haofang is so capable, the big lady is always a little worried and awkward.
The old lady bought the land of Wu's family. Even the two children, Changwei and Changfu, were cute and clever. Although they were young, they heard that the second sister had already begun to teach them to read. You said she was a village girl from the countryside, how could she come up with this
She had a little thought that if she could take this opportunity to break Duan Haofang's relationship with the Wu family, even if there was a rift, it would be a good thing for Haoshou in the future.
But the elder said to her, "What's the problem with this? Just think about it, isn't it okay when you pushed your mother? It's the same thing as you did. Both father and mother are clear about it. , The decent daughter-in-law "women" is much more important than the child who doesn't know anyone!"
The eldest lady saw that the old man's face was a little uncomfortable, and she knew that he must be thinking of the missing child, and she regretted that she shouldn't mention this, so she hurriedly turned off other words.
The eldest wife knew that the second sister would be fine this time. Back then, the old lady personally threw the elder's child, and now I don't know whether it is alive or dead. From this, we can see that the old lady is not rare for wild species of low life. However, it would be shameful even to be off for two days. Although the people below don't know what's inside, it's hard to have a good word even if they don't guess what's going on.
She turned her body and mind proudly, and then thought of the children born to the two little wives. Deserve it! What the fate of those scumbags deserves! Pooh!
In the morning, she spoke a few words for the second sister at the old lady's place. After lunch, Wei Yuzhen brought her second sister's child to see her. She originally only wanted to go through the scene and let the child lead her over. Isn't it a favor? But holding two children who were too scared to say anything when they couldn't see their mothers, they remembered the time when she and Haoshou mother and son were guarding an empty yard. At that time, Haoshou would only stare when he saw people, and he didn't even dare to say anything. Now he sees outsiders like this. People say he is stupid and said he is true, but she doesn’t even hear it. taste.
Looking at Changwei and Changfu now, I can't help but feel distressed. A little sympathy arose towards the second sister. After all, it was the little wife who caused the trouble, but it involved her, and even the children suffered along with it.
The eldest wife thought about herself, and then about the second sister, and the three rooms, and then the big room, and then the Haoshou, a mess of "mess" and unclear accounts, and slowly fell asleep in confusion.
