After Jin Xiaoying said that, I stopped urging me to take a deep breath, recited the meditation mantra silently, and continued listening to the story.
Although Xia Ying was the virtuous wife of the Liu family, but because she did not come to the Liu family's son who inherited the incense for six years, Xia Ying's husband discussed with Xia Ying about marrying a concubine with two bedrooms. Xia Ying knew that every time she gave birth to a son, Feeling guilty, he agreed to her husband's proposal.
And that year, the landlord of the Liu family also really married two concubines. These two concubines were also children of poor families, so after marrying into the Liu family, they were also hard-working people. Shang Xiaying is a good person, so the three of them get along well.
In a blink of an eye this winter, one of the two concubines was pregnant with a child. Landlord Liu's family was naturally very happy. Landlord Liu also favored that concubine, and even gave it to the concubine. Parents some land.
When the concubine's belly was getting bigger and bigger, she proposed to be the second wife instead of continuing to be the concubine.
It is necessary to explain here that the concubine and the children of the concubine do not have the right of inheritance in the family, they are born from the concubines, and the wife, no matter which room, the children born have the right to inherit and can share some property.
After the concubine who was pregnant with the child made this request, Landlord Liu asked Xia Ying to discuss it. The kind-hearted Xia Ying felt that she did not have a son and could not continue the incense for the Liu family. Then Landlord Liu changed the concubine to a second wife. so I agreed.
When it came to this, Jin Xiaoying said: "If I were Xia Ying, I would wait for that concubine to give birth to a child, and then let her adopt the child to me instead of giving her a chance to become the second wife. She I don’t even think about it, it was an era when mothers depended on children, she didn’t have children of her own, and when she was old, she would have no place in the family at all.”
Jin Xiaoying's words also indicate that Xia Ying's ending may not be very good. If it is good, Jin Xiaoying will not say such words.
After the concubine became the second wife, within a few months, she gave birth to a son. Landlord Liu was even more delighted. From that time on, Xia Ying's voice in Liu's house became less and less important. If the landlord had anything to do, he didn't ask Xia Ying to discuss it. Instead, he often went to the second wife, as if the second wife was the real mistress of the family.
However, Xia Ying still has two daughters, and her status in the family is not the lowest. The one with the worst status is the remaining concubine. She has been married to the Liu family for more than a year, and her stomach has no reaction at all, so Liu The landlord didn't like her very much either.
In the blink of an eye, the son of Landlord Liu's family has already turned one year old, and Bai Ge has also grown into a big fat cat. Bai Ge's favorite thing to do every day is to lie on Xia Ying's lap and bask in the sun. , or squatting in Liu's granary and waiting for mice.
But one day, Mrs. Erfang's parents came to Liu landlord's house to borrow grain. Before landlord Liu returned, Mrs. Erfang took her own father to the granary to get grain. Because Mrs. Erfang's father was a stranger, she was disturbed there. Bai Ge, a squatting mouse, so when she was running away smartly, Bai Gu accidentally caught the hand of Mrs. Erfang's father.
Angrily, the second-room lady picked up a stick and chased Bai Ge, but her speed was enough to catch up with the cat. By the time she chased into the yard, Bai Ge had already got into Xia Ying's house. .
At this time, Xia Ying and her two daughters had already gone down to the ground with her husband and were not at home, so the second wife asked her father to tear down the door of Xia Ying's room together, and then chased into the house to fight Bai Ge, who was frightened by Bai Ge. It was so powerful that he jumped out of the house again, ran up to the roof, and escaped from the Liu family.
The second wife didn't relieve her hatred, so she smashed it in Xia Ying's house.
Waiting for Xia Ying and her husband to come back from the ground, the second wife started to complain, saying that Bai Ge had injured her father, and in order to apologize, she gave her father some food, and landlord Liu had nothing to say about it.
On the other hand, Xia Ying was full of grievances. Even if Bai Ge made a mistake, what happened to her? Why did you smash her room into pieces
So Xia Ying went to the second wife to have a theory. Xia Ying asked the second wife, why she was so arrogant and unreasonable to the second wife.
After listening to Xia Ying's words, Mrs. Erfang said angrily: "Why, it's not because of the broken cat you raised, don't let me see it again, or I will definitely beat/kill it."
Those few years just happened to catch up with the bad harvest, so the landlord Liu gave the second house wife and father some food for no reason. He felt depressed, and after hearing the quarrel between Xia Ying and the second house, he angrily said: "Okay, don't quarrel. Now, everything is the fat cat's fault, come back and kill him to relieve his anger."
Xia Ying wanted to speak, but was reprimanded by Landlord Liu.
Xia Ying had no choice but to endure the grievances, and went to clean up her room first, and after cleaning up her room, she and her concubine at home prepared meals for the family.
During the meal, Bai Ge came back smelling the fragrance of the rice, but as soon as he entered the door, the second-room lady was bombarded out, and Xia Ying and her two daughters didn't even have a chance to stop her.
Bai Ge, who was kicked out one after another, was a little overwhelmed. He didn't know what he did wrong. He knew that he was frightened when he was catching mice at home. Then the second wife chased and beat him, and he found it outside. After hiding in a corner for a whole day, he dared to come back, but when he returned home, he was bombarded...
However, Bai Ge still didn't want to leave. After walking around Liu's house, he went back to Xia Ying's room and hid.
When Xia Ying went back to sleep at night, it quietly got out of the kang, and then called Xia Ying "meow" very aggrieved.
Hearing Bai Ge's cry, Xia Ying also thought of the grievances she suffered, and her husband's neglect of her in the past two years. She couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears.
Seeing Xia Ying cry, Xia Ying's two daughters also cried.
Xia Ying cried and cried during the holiday, which attracted the attention of the landlord Liu. Because of the poor harvest these days, he was worried that he couldn't pay the rent. Today, he lost some food for no reason, and his mood was even worse.
Now he felt that Xia Ying and the two children were crying inexplicably to block him, so he ran to Xia Ying's house and scolded Xia Ying and the two children severely. After the song, he got even more angry, picked up a fire pestle and hit Bai Ge.
Bai Ge is a cat, naturally dodging quickly, and instantly dodging the blow of Landlord Liu, but Landlord Liu hit the air and knocked on the edge of the kang, causing severe pain in his wrist, and he set fire to his anger. The pestle hit Xia Ying on the side, and Bai Ge saw this scene.
Landlord Liu was just angry at the time, and he was already confused. He didn't know what he was doing, so he shot down Xia Ying with a fire pestle.
The tragedy of the entire Liu family and Bai Ge also kicked off...
