Early spring.
It's chilly and the wind and rain are howling.
The endless rain was like fine needles, densely and mercilessly scattered on the land.
Some people clapped their hands and laughed, saying that good rain knows when to fall, and that the people will have a good year this year. Some people also said happily that spring rain is as precious as oil, and worth a thousand gold in a painting. However, some people were soaked by the rain and were pushed out of the house.
Unfortunately, Mingyue was that last person.
"Don't close your eyes and pretend to be dead. For so many years, you have not been able to give our Zhou family a grandson or leave a descendant for my son Chengwen. What's the point of keeping a woman like you?"
"Mingyue, I'm not saying anything nonsense, you and your brother-in-law have been married for five years, and you gave birth to a sickly, money-losing child, and you can't even give birth to a son. If I were you, I would have been so ashamed that I would have found a hemp rope to put around my neck and kick my legs, so as not to occupy the toilet for nothing."
"That's right. Miss Wang from the county town is now in love with Cheng Wen. If you have any conscience, take your sickly daughter and get out of our Zhou family, so as not to drag down Third Brother and our Zhou family."
"Yes, yes, that little stutterer must be taken away by Chen Mingyue. He is a stutterer and sickly and can't work. It will be hard for him to find a husband in the future. He can't stay in our Zhou family and eat for free. With that money, it's better to buy two chicken legs for my Yuanbao and Jinbao."
"Cheng Wen said that Miss Wang will come to visit our house tomorrow, so Chen Mingyue and you two must get out today..."
The sound of the drizzling rain, the occasional thunder, the little girl's suppressed cry, and the noise of a group of women made Mingyue feel a splitting headache and discomfort all over her body. She forced herself to open her eyes, enduring the dizziness and pain in her head.
In an instant, she knew that a new dimension had arrived and the situation was very bad.
After reading the memories of the original owner transmitted by Feishuang, Mingyue almost couldn't help but swear.
The original owner, Chen Mingyue, had a very rough life.
The original owner was supposed to be the legitimate daughter of the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion in the capital. Unfortunately, the emperor at that time intended to reduce the power of the princes, and the Dingyuan Marquis wanted a son who could stabilize the title. So the original owner's newly born daughter was secretly replaced by her biological father with the son born to the wife of Chen Xiucai who came to Beijing to take the imperial examination.
From then on, the scholar's son became the eldest son of Marquis Dingyuan, and the original owner became the daughter of a failed scholar, and was taken back to her hometown by Mr. Chen and his wife, who were unaware of the truth.
After failing the exam, Chen Xiucai gave up on the imperial examination and from then on he devoted himself to finding a school and became a teacher.
As a result, the original owner had been living with Chen Xiucai in a remote small county town, and was educated by Chen Xiucai and his wife to become a docile and well-behaved woman who obeyed the three obediences and four virtues.
Perhaps because of the outstanding looks of her biological parents, the original owner also inherited an outstanding good look. The older she got, the more beautiful her face became. She really had nothing in common with the ordinary-looking Mr. and Mrs. Chen.
Before the original owner came of age, she had already attracted the attention of many young men.
After the original owner came of age, there was a situation where one family had a daughter and hundreds of families wanted to marry her.
However, Mr. and Mrs. Chen were both extremely pedantic. They were not happy that their daughter was popular. They just felt that the fact that so many people wanted to marry her was because their daughter was too restless and too attractive.
Therefore, they increasingly stuffed the concepts of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues into the original owner's head, causing the original owner to form the idea that the husband is the leader and that the husband is greater than heaven.
So much so that after the original owner married Zhou Chengwen, a student of the academy, because she only gave birth to a daughter and not a son, she always did the most work, ate the least food, and received the harshest scolding. She worked like a cow and a horse for the family, and was constantly bullied by her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law. Her good looks were worn down to only three points, but she herself did not think there was anything wrong with it and really thought that she was sorry for her husband. But later, Zhou Chengwen was favored by a rich lady, and Zhou Chengwen also favored the rich lady's wealth. The original owner, who had lost even the only advantage of her appearance, was naturally divorced.
On a rainy day, the original owner and his stuttering daughter were kicked out by the Zhou family.
The original owner returned to her parents' home pitifully with her daughter, but was angrily scolded by Chen Xiucai and his wife for being a disgrace, saying that she couldn't even win her husband's heart, and that giving birth to a daughter was useless.
In such heavy rain, Mr. Chen and his wife didn't even let the mother and daughter enter the yard, and they slammed the gate shut.
No matter how the original owner knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and begged again and again, her parents were not moved at all. Even when she said that she could leave and only asked her parents to take good care of her daughter, the door could not be opened from the inside.
In the end, the original owner had no choice but to take his daughter to a dilapidated temple outside the city with a burning head.
Then the original owner never woke up again. She and her daughter had the misfortune of running into a few gangsters in that dilapidated temple and unfortunately lost their lives.
But before she died, she heard the gangster say, "I'll give you 500 taels for killing these two sickly people. Why don't you do more good things like this?"
Five hundred taels! She had never seen so much silver in her life. She didn't expect that she and her daughter were worth so much.
She was unwilling to die, so her soul followed Zhou Chengwen all the time. She met the servant of Marquis Dingyuan who was brought from the capital, and heard her true identity. Only then did she realize that she was wrong, wrong from the beginning.
When Chen Mingyue saw the servant of Marquis Dingyuan drinking with the servants of Wang family in the county, she knew that everything was a conspiracy from the beginning.
She is not stupid.
So, [Master, Chen Mingyue's wish is to make all those who have wronged her and plotted against her regret it, and to take good care of her daughter.] Feishuang's voice rang out in Mingyue's sea of consciousness.
Mingyue frowned slightly. All? This word is interesting.
Then, do the parents who abandoned the original owner count? Do the Chen Xiucai couple who forced the original owner to live in a dilapidated temple with her daughter count? And the Wang family in the county town, the Zhou family who abandoned her after having sex with her, the masterminds behind all this...
It seems that there are too many mission objectives this time!
But that's what makes it interesting, isn't it
Mingyue pulled up a smile. Of course, the most important thing was to pass this hurdle first.
She came at the right time, which happened to be the day when the Zhou family drove out the original owner and her daughter.
The Zhou family is truly shameless and immoral. The original owner had worked like a slave for the Zhou family for so many years, but just because Zhou Chengwen was favored by a rich lady in the city, they asked her to give up her position and leave. They are really a bunch of snakes and rats.
But now that the bright moon has come, the idea of this family is to embroider flowers in the sky, which is a beautiful idea!
