Chapter 8 The eighth chapter Wronged to be a virtuous wife into the forest to apologize

Old-fashioned women value the word chastity more than life.Even though she is somewhat dissatisfied with her husband, she still thinks that her one-sided chastity is something that should be done.Although Third Aunt Mao didn't like Uncle Mao very much, but on the other hand, the social education she received was that she was a woman, and it was the golden rule to have the same color in her life. Two men approached her.Today, she was suddenly lured by this Ma's mother-in-law to her home to meet a man. She really thought it was a great shame, and it was a matter of life.After finally escaping from the tiger's mouth, my heart was beating wildly, I lowered my head in thought, and walked home slowly.I was thinking in my heart, should I tell my husband? In order to show my sincerity and frankness, I should tell my husband.But he didn't believe my words, and became suspicious instead, so I was going to be fooled.What's more, he has a very bad temper. If he hears this kind of talk and hits someone's house, it will be a big joke.Instead of explaining clearly, there are many difficulties, but it is better not to say, so she walked home quietly, no one was disturbed, and she continued to do things as usual.

That night, Third Uncle Mao came back drunk again.Seeing that Aunt Mao had never done anything, she sat on a low chair with her head propped up on her hands, so she squinted her drunken eyes and smiled at her, "Hmph! Today you have money, can you borrow a penny for me to use?" The aunt still supported her head with her hands, and remained silent.Uncle Mao said: "Why don't you say anything? I just want to borrow a penny from you. Is there any difficulty?" Third Aunt Mao said: "What is difficult? You really said it so lightly, I will Can it be changed into money?" Uncle Mao said: "You said you can't change money, what about the money you got from selling cloth on the street today?" Third Aunt Mao said, "Is this the money from selling cloth you're asking about?" Third Uncle Mao narrowed his eyes and laughed again, because he said, "I don't think you're going to wait to use it now, so you can lend me a penny. I'll pay you back within half a month." Third Aunt Mao said: "I didn't sell my cloth, what kind of money should I lend you?" Third Uncle Mao said, "Why didn't I sell it?" Third Aunt Mao said, "The price they offered was at most no more than one hang six. How can I sell it for a hundred dollars?" Mao Sanshu said: "That's weird, when other people take the cloth and sell it on the street, they can sell it for two or three yuan, but why do you sell it for so little money when it is in your hands? "Aunt Mao hugged her thighs with both hands, pouted and said: "This is incomparable, I don't have that kind of ability." Uncle Mao said: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? The same one took the cloth and sold it for money, why? When I come to you, I have to sell some less money? Your cloth is no less than others!" Third Aunt Mao said: "Why are you asking these nonsense? I have cloth and others don't want it. What can I do?" Mao The third uncle said: "Where is it that people don't want it? It's clear that you sold the money and refused to give it to me. I'm going to settle the money today, and you can't do it if you don't give it to me." As he spoke, he swayed twice and walked to Aunt Mao In front of him, the smell of alcohol and the smell of sweat on his body had already penetrated into Third Aunt Mao's nose, making Third Aunt Mao feel sick.This kind of smell aroused her bad impression, so she became angry, opened her eyes and said to him: "What are you doing here? You still want to hit me like this?" Third Uncle Mao He opened his eyes and said, "If I hit you, it's not a violation of the law!" Third Aunt Mao puffed out her chest and shouted loudly, "You don't deserve it!" The words were serious, and in an instant, without allowing him to think about anything, he stretched out his hand, and fixed Aunt Mao's face with a punch, which made Aunt Mao's face burn like a fire.She burst into tears and said, "Okay! If you really hit me, I want your life." When she said that, she raised both hands at the same time, and scratched at Uncle Mao's face. Uncle Mao is a strong man , how can she catch it.Moreover, Third Uncle Mao's alcohol smell surged even higher, but he didn't ask Third Aunt Mao if she could bear it, so he stretched out his hand, grabbed her by the collar, dragged her into his arms, and then pressed it hard, Mao The third aunt couldn't stand on her two feet, and was thrown to the ground by him long ago.Seeing this, he couldn't stop doing anything, so he held her down with both hands, rode on her, and beat her with both fists like beating drums.At this point, she couldn't fight any more, so she could only cry out, "I've killed someone, come and save me." Her voice was high-pitched and brutal, which alarmed the neighbors.Then several people rushed in and rescued Aunt Mao.Third Aunt Mao was being ridden on the ground, she used to be able to cry, but now she saw someone coming in, she became emboldened, how could she get up? Sitting on the ground, she just gesticulated, cried and cursed.He only said in his mouth that I am no longer alive, I am no longer alive.Uncle Mao saw that her hair was draped to her shoulders, and her body was covered in dirt, and her face was full of tears and snot, which turned into a grimace.He also thought in his heart, the beating probably wasn't light, why did he do it like this? By the time he was about to investigate his reasons, the wine was more than half sober.But he refused to give in right away, and pointed at Aunt Mao and cursed: "Please look at her being so hot, what kind of woman is she?" Let you go like this, we will die, just wait!" After hearing this, Third Uncle Mao jumped up again, pointed at Aunt Mao and cursed: "I must kill you bitch!" My aunt clapped her hands on the ground and shouted, "Just come here, I'm afraid you're not human!" When Third Uncle Mao was about to rush forward to start a move, several people had already dragged him out of the door. I went. After Uncle Mao left, Aunt Mao was just crying and cursing for a while. After repeated persuasion from everyone, she was led into the room to sleep. When she was making noise, that was not necessarily the case. What kind of tiredness, but after lying down on the bed, the muscles and bones all over the body are sore, my heart is flustered, I can't stop panting, and I can't speak. Those women who have always been close to her will accompany her to rest, Uncle Mao He was pulled out and never came back.

The next day, although Third Aunt Mao reluctantly got up to do things, she felt pain in every joint when she sat or stood up.She just thought in her heart: It's pitiful to be a woman. It's a lifetime when you meet a good husband, and it's a lifetime when you meet a bad husband. With my looks, in this Yao family village, I'm not number one. Second, am I going to marry such a drunk who is so dirty to death? It is useless for such a big man to be beaten by his husband. How can he have the face to see the people in the village? Thinking so, shrinking At home, I feel embarrassed to come out.But as for Uncle Mao, the villagers also made fun of him, saying that he beat Aunt Mao for no reason, which was unreasonable, and he must go home to make amends.Otherwise, Mao Sanyan is a smart woman, and she will never let her go easily.Third Uncle Mao prides himself on being a good man, and he is most afraid of being said that he is afraid of his wife.Since I did something wrong, let me go to the end, so I went to the street during the day and only slept on the dog bunk in the school at night.Third Aunt Mao was a woman, and if her husband didn't come home, there was absolutely no reason for her to go out to find her husband, so she had no choice but not to ask.This stalemate lasted for three days, but on the morning of the fourth day, something happened. Uncle Mao caught a cold and suddenly fell ill.Seeing the stalemate between his husband and wife, Gouzi was unwilling to turn around, and he kept Third Uncle Mao to live here, and he seemed to be suspected of instigating it, so he told Yao Tingdong these words.He called Third Uncle Mao in front of him and asked about the details. It was clear that Uncle Mao was mostly unreasonable, so he straightened his face and said to him: "You are a man, how can you be as knowledgeable as a woman? You left her at home." Leave her alone and rely on whom to call the shots? You are sick in my school, what is that? Go back quickly." After hearing his words, Third Uncle Mao didn't reply, just stood in front of him and hummed. with.After Yao Tingdong finished speaking, he quietly went out from behind, found a stone under the orange grove, and sat down against the trunk.Gouzi found out, and told Yao Tingdong about it again.Hearing this, he thought about it in his heart, and suddenly understood.So he told Gouzi: "Just tell Brother Mao, don't run around, just wait there, I will make a decision." So I got up and went home, met my mother, Mrs. Yao, and smiled. He talked about the anger of Uncle Mao and his wife again.The old lady Yao said with a smile: "It's the third sister-in-law's fault, call her here, and I'll talk to her." At this time Chunhua was also at home, so she ordered Chunhua to invite the third aunt Mao.Chunhua agreed, and walked to Third Aunt Mao's house. She held a cup of tea, leaned against the pillars under the eaves, and looked up at the sky.On the small shelf of heavenly incense nailed to the pillar, three sticks of incense were inserted on it, and it was about halfway lit.Chunhua smiled at Aunt Mao: "Aunt Mao, have you eaten yet?" Aunt Mao laughed and said, "I haven't eaten yet. But, I feel like I'm seriously ill, how can I eat?" After finishing speaking, Ang He nodded his head and sighed.Chunhua smiled and said: "Speaking of which, it's all my fault. If I didn't ask you to go to the street that day, third uncle wouldn't say that you sold the cloth and asked you for money." Third aunt Mao said: "I If it wasn't for your business, I would go to the street, how could I have a favor for you?" Chunhua blushed, smiled slightly at her and said, "But for this matter, you..." Third Aunt Mao laughed : "My little sister, why do you think I'm so stupid? Such a thing is life and death, can I talk nonsense? ?Your concern, that is right." These few irrelevant words seem to have nothing to say about Chunhua.But when Chunhua heard this, her heart couldn't stop beating, and her face flushed for a while, and it went to the back of her temples.Third Aunt Mao said: "Girl, go back, I understand. If you just stay here, it will arouse people's suspicion." Chunhua became more and more embarrassed by her talking, and hurried home up.At home, Mrs. Yao asked, "Why didn't Sister-in-law Mao come?" Chunhua came to her senses at this moment, and went to ask Aunt Mao to come by herself. Why didn't she mention a word? So she laughed and said, "Hey! Hasn't she come yet? I'll go and urge her." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards Third Aunt Mao's house.Third Aunt Mao saw her running back again in a panic, opened her eyes and looked at her and said, "Miss, what's the matter?" Chunhua looked back and saw that there was no one, so she smiled quietly and said "My grandmother asked me to invite you just now. I was only talking to you, and I forgot why I came. You can go with me." Aunt Mao said: "Did the teacher's mother call me?" As he said, he smiled and nodded and said, "I have to teach me a lesson again. Is it my fault that my drunkard beat me up for no reason?" " Chunhua said: "No, my grandmother is just persuading you. I told my grandmother, I made an agreement with you, but this time I came to urge you. If you don't go, I'm clearly lying. I’m really going to be taught a lesson.” Aunt Mao laughed and said, “That’s weird, why did you forget about this because you asked me to come here? You are really absent-minded, what is your heart on What happened?" Chunhua blushed, but she couldn't say anything even though she lowered her head and smiled.Third Aunt Mao followed her to Yao Tingdong's house.

Mrs. Yao and her son and daughter-in-law were all sitting in the main room. When they saw Aunt Mao, Yao Tingdong straightened his face and nodded with a smile, but Mrs. Yao got up and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I miss you It's been a few days, why do you want us to invite you to come?" Mrs. Yao poured a cup of tea with a smile, handed it over, and said with a smile, please sit down.The old lady Yao asked with a smile, "Maybe Third Brother Mao hasn't come back yet?" Third Aunt Mao peeped at Yao Tingdong's face, but it was iron-like, and smiled and said, "Look, he beat me up. , on the contrary, she loses her temper and doesn't come back, where did this come from?" Mrs. Yao said: "Women always suffer when husbands and wives fight. Women are not as powerful as men, so there is no way they don't suffer. As the saying goes: "The king is the guide for the subject, and the husband is the guide for the wife." Even if you let him beat you a few times, it is not shameful." After hearing this, Third Aunt Mao felt a little dissatisfied.But Mrs. Yao's son is the husband-in-law of the same family, and she raised a talented son, who is a reasonable person. How dare he argue with her, he only agreed to one word.Mrs. Yao said: "He has been sleeping with the dog in the school for the past few days. He probably caught a cold. He is sick today and is still sitting in the orange grove." Aunt Mao said: "I didn't close the door. The gate does not let him come back, he is willing to be like this, what can I do?" Mrs. Yao smiled, and was about to refute her words, but Yao Tingdong spoke first, and he said with a straight face: "Sister-in-law, You are a virtuous person, are you still willing to let your husband lie down in the orange grove?" The old lady Yao said: "Yes! There is no overnight hatred between husband and wife, can you still remember his lifelong hatred? Mao San Brother is a husband after all, so it doesn't matter if you give in to him a little bit. Even if someone says that Aunt Mao is afraid of her husband, you are also virtuous. If you want him to give in to you, this is not a good word. Do you really want to use the saying, don't be afraid that your wife will not make a fortune? With that said, the old lady followed with a smile.Mrs. Yao smiled and said: "My mother-in-law is a benevolent and righteous old man. What she said has insight, so you just follow her old man's words and go to the Orange Grove, say a few words to Third Brother Mao, and take him home. Come on, it's over. I don't think anyone will laugh at you, so it's nothing. The Three Obediences and Four Virtues, doesn't it mean that you marry and follow your husband?" Third Aunt Mao was originally sitting, but at this moment Just stand up.He first looked at the people present, and then lowered his head. It looked like he was extremely wronged, but it was hard to say it out.Yao Tingdong said to his mother: "It's meaningless if you talk too much. I'm going to teach." When he was talking to his mother, his face was very peaceful, and when he came back, he turned his face down and turned his face down. Putting down the sleeves, swung them back, and walked out with big strides.Third Aunt Mao was influenced by the whole village's adoration of her husband, so she felt that she couldn't offend her.Now that my husband is angry and left, I am afraid that if he does not follow their advice, he will become an unvirtuous woman, and no one will look down on an unvirtuous woman.Then he said to Mrs. Yao: "It's not that I don't listen to your old man. I'm afraid that the more I apologize to him, the more he will get angry. When he comes back drunk, he will beat me up again!" said Mrs. Yao. "If that's the case, I can't follow him either. Aunt Mao, you are a person who talks about the three obediences and four virtues, so why don't you think about it? Do you want me to say more?" The third aunt Mao likes people to say that she is smart, At the same time, I also like people to say that she has three virtues and four virtues. Today, Tingdong's family members said three obediences and four virtues on the left and three obediences and four virtues on the right. Walked in the orange grove.

After searching for a long time, I saw Uncle Mao sitting on a rock leaning against a tree trunk. Seeing it from a distance, I felt angry. He had a thunderous face, yellow and black, matched with the cheeks all over his face. Huzi, what kind of person is there? With my cleverness, I am not worthy of him in any way, but I will be beaten by him. I will not accept this tone, but go to apologize with him? Because of this, I slipped behind an orange tree, Stand for a while.Thinking that he was going to end him when he came, he might stand up to greet him.It's not that Third Uncle Mao didn't know she was coming, he looked up, but still lowered his head.Third Aunt Mao gritted her teeth and paused, then snorted again.In the end, he still gave in, lowered his head, straightened his face, and walked forward slowly.At the same time, I advised myself that since I came to accompany others, I simply gave up on the ground, thinking that I was a pussy, and only wanted him to like it, and then changed my mind, and it was over.The anger in his chest had already suppressed a lot after being suppressed by himself, but now he suppressed it twice as much, and tried his best to show a gentle look on his face, even though he couldn't laugh, and came to the end. In front of Third Uncle Mao, he bent down and whispered to him: "I heard that you are sick." Third Uncle Mao said, "Isn't it? It's just to make you angry." Third Aunt Mao raised her sleeves up Yes, he showed his whole snow-white arm, pouted and said, "Look, I've been beaten like this." Although Third Uncle Mao was angry, his heart was not hardened. Seeing his beautiful wife like this, I really couldn't bear to embarrass others, so I laughed "puchi".When he was laughing, there was also a man giggling outside the orange grove.

It turned out that since Li Xiaoqiu got the news from Aunt Mao that day, he came back to the school. Although he met Chunhua and looked around, he didn't dare to approach him boldly, but the two of them were very dear to each other. Xiaoqiu was in the room. Read at most three pages, and you must stretch your head to look out. If you don't read, then as long as Chunhua is in the school, you will never leave the window.If someone passed by, he just looked up at the sky with his head up. If no one passed by, he just stood there and waited for Chunhua to show his face.But Chunhua's attitude changed to his opposite. She already knew about this matter, not just one or two people.If you don't hold back a little bit and let your father know that being beaten and scolded is a trivial matter, you're afraid that the whole village will know about it, but you will have no face to meet people.Because of this, even though Li Xiaoqiu was always thinking about him in his heart, in terms of appearance, he always dodged.However, I dodged too much, and I was afraid that Xiaoqiu might misunderstand, so for two or three hours, I held the book high in both hands, covered my face and read, walked to her window to have a look, and then slowly read the book. He slowly moved the book down until it reached the tip of his nose, his eyes looked at Xiaoqiu from the top of the book, he put the book down suddenly, but smiled, then turned and left.This may be her childish temper, making fun of it.However, when Xiaoqiu saw it, this attitude was the most poetic, and it made her heart itch when she saw it.Sometimes Chunhua came up through the window here, and when she came, she would cough lightly, and when Xiaoqiu stretched out her head, she would throw a ball of writing paper into it.This paper dumpling is not a letter written for Xiao Qiu, but a grid paper that Chunhua usually uses to practice lower script, with half a page or a few lines written on it. You can't throw this ball of paper at me without meaning, there must be another article in it, don't ignore it.So he fell on the bed, put down the curtain, unfolded the paper, and studied it slowly.Fortunately, it was only one or two hundred characters, straight and backward, and after reading it countless times, at the end, he actually realized that it was the words in this manuscript, which were written particularly thinly, and they were the words and sentences for correspondence.Combined, it can become one sentence or two or three sentences.Since Xiaoqiu invented this method, he followed suit and wrote back to Chunhua.

This morning, Chunhua came out from home after having breakfast, and threw a ball of paper into Xiaoqiu's window with a few words in between.It says that Aunt Mao is presenting a present to Uncle Mao, and is going to the woods to see it.Xiaoqiu saw that this was nothing more than Chunhua's childish temper, there was more to it.But since she wrote a letter to notify, she should go and have a look, otherwise, if you don't believe her, you will offend her.So it doesn't matter what the facts are.Immediately ran to the woods.Watching from afar.Seeing that people like Third Uncle Mao were no match for the women's fighting style, he followed them and laughed together.Just as he was laughing like this, a hand landed on his back and patted it lightly. When he looked back, it was Chunhua who squinted his beautiful eyes, facing him, just smiled.Xiao Qiu was about to open his mouth to say something, but Chunhua pulled his clothes, told him to go away, and rolled his eyes at him.Seeing this, Xiaoqiu had no choice but to walk away with a smile on her face.Pass through the orange grove, walk on the sidewalk, cross the sidewalk, and go straight to the back of the Fengfeng Pavilion.At first Chunhua was walking in front, then Xiaoqiu was in front, the two were separated by about four or five zhang, when they reached the back of the Wind and Rain Pavilion, Chunhua stood still, moved his hands several times from afar and said: "Hey !Where are you going?" Xiaoqiu turned back with a smile and said, "I walked through this forest and walked straight to the riverside." Chunhua smiled and said, "You want to take me there Are you throwing yourself into the river?" Xiaoqiu laughed and said, "Yes, are you willing to die?" Chunhua said, "Huh! One day." Xiaoqiu knew that she was complaining, so he laughed and said, "Say Seriously. I met you on the ferry for the first time, and every time I met that ferry, I always stood up and thought about the things that time, and I found it very interesting, as if you were wearing that floral dress , walked over with a wintersweet flower in his hand." Chunhua said: "Aren't you a ghost? I'm standing in front of you right now, and you go to catch that ghost." Xiaoqiu said: "Why do you keep saying such dejected words? Chunhua leaned against a tree trunk, moved the toe of his shoe to the long grass at his feet, lowered his head and said, "Why do I do this, should you know?" Xiaoqiu said, "You are so young, why do you always Worrying like this, there will be a long time in the future." Chunhua said: "If I can see you for a day, I won't die for a day." She raised her hand while talking, and pulled a branch to her face, Use the tip of your nose to smell the leaves of the tree.Xiao Qiu also leaned against a tree and stood still, looked at her, and said seriously: "I am grateful for your kindness, but you were born in a bad place, so you decided on marriage early. I If I ignore you, I'm sorry. If I ignore you, in the future people will find out and gossip about you, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." Chunhua let go of his hand, the branch jumped into the air, and said calmly: " Just ignore me from now on." Xiaoqiu said: "Look, you are in a hurry before I finish my words. Think about it, the family is a poetic family, Third Aunt Mao made her husband beat him up, and Mr. Persuading her to accompany the ceremony, here, you can know how the family is advising people to obey women's morals. You are a girl with yellow flowers, so I'm afraid you have to double the strict prohibition, right?" Chunhua couldn't say anything, just said nod.After a long time, he replied: "This is really sad for Third Aunt Mao. What happened to her, she couldn't help that drunk man, beat him up, and asked him to accompany him. If I were Third Aunt Mao, I wouldn't accompany him. It's not a crime." The rule of getting out, even if you violate the rule of seven times, you are willing to do it, it is better than being wronged to death like this." Xiaoqiu said: "Then she is not afraid that the world will laugh at her? Who would not think so, it is always just I'm just afraid of people's comments." Chunhua lowered his head, kept moving the long grass with his feet, and then sighed slowly: "This is called no way." Xiaoqiu said: "This is what I said. In other words, if people in the world gossip about you, how can you bear it?" Chunhua said: "That's why I said, one day I won't see you, and my day of suffering will come. If you are like Aunt Mao I won’t be able to live a day like this, so you don’t have to worry about me, when that day comes, I’ll be done.” Xiaoqiu knew what she meant by her words, but deliberately asked: “Is there a way to end? What's the deal?" Chunhua said: "Scholars die for their confidantes. I have put this sentence in my heart a long time ago." Xiaoqiu felt that her words were a bit too strong, but interrupted on purpose: " What's the next sentence?" Chunhua said: "It's women who please themselves, and there is no third person here. I have nothing to dare to say." She said these few words with a straight face. , rolling his eyes, he couldn't help but "puchi" and laughed.Xiaoqiu frowned and said, "I didn't expect to meet you when I was studying here. Now I want to avoid you and miss you." Chunhua blushed again when he heard the last thought word. She pursed her lips and smiled, looking at him.Xiaoqiu said: "Do you think my words are a little too much?" Chunhua said: "It's not just..." She laughed again.Xiaoqiu looked at her moon-like jade face, coupled with this embarrassment, she felt very charming, so she slowly walked close to her, she leaned against the tree trunk and lowered her head uncontrollably Going down, I watched Xiaoqiu's feet approaching.As soon as Xiaoqiu reached out to hold her hand, he slowly lifted it up. When he was about to take that hand again to hold her other hand, she flinched abruptly and dodged behind the tree.With a blushing face, she said, "Don't do this, I...I...how can I do anything wrong? I have a clean body." When Xiaoqiu held her hand, he felt the blood all over his body boil, and his heart beat into his mouth.When she dodged like this, her blood stopped boiling, her heart stopped beating, and her face was naturally red, so she whispered to Chunhua: "I'm sorry, I'm a little reckless! But..." Chunhua Hua Zhengse said: "There's nothing reckless about it. If my parents didn't make the decision, I would give you this body. If you want to do that, you will die faster. If you are my confidant, you should forgive me." Said Suddenly, her throat was blocked, and two lines of tears rolled down.Xiaoqiu pointed to the sun and said: "The sun is shining high above my head. This is the time for me. From now on, I will be determined to behave myself. If I don't behave and offend you again, I will die." Chunhua shook his head again and again. He said: "Why do you swear? I have no choice. You are a bit of a person who didn't mean what you said. Just now you said you would ignore me. After a while, you will become dishonest." He said with a smile.Xiao Qiu said: "I know you have no choice. If I don't swear, I'm afraid you'll be suspicious of me and ignore me in the future, so I can also say it's a last resort. As for the inappropriateness of words, I don't know why." Chunhua looked back, lifted his skirt, wiped his eyes, smiled and said to Xiaoqiu: "This is not a place to talk, and I shouldn't come with you. But after today's words, you know what's on my mind Now, my heart is yours. I say this, and I swear by the sun." When he said that, he raised his hand.Xiao Qiu is just a passionate young man. Hearing this kind of words, his stagnant blood boiled again.
