When Chunhua fell into the trap of the housekeeper Huairou, she thought in her heart, fortunately the housekeeper did not choose a date to get married, this body is still my own.As long as you keep this body, you can escape from this pit of fire whenever you have the chance.In case of being unable to escape, it is not too late to make a clean body and enter the coffin with the last chess move.I made up my mind, so apart from having two meals with my mother-in-law, I would curl up in the suite and read a book all day long.The housekeeper was originally a wealthy household in Linjiang City, so he had absolutely no reason to ask Chunhua to do household chores.We have been together like this for three months, and the weather is already in the middle of October in the old calendar. The clump of thin bamboo outside the window has a few scorched leaves after the clear frost.Outside this low whitewashed wall, next door, there happened to be a tall maple tree with bright red leaves, letting the sun shine on it, and I felt it was radiant.Chunhua sat in the room reading all day long, and felt very bored, so he went out of the room and sat on a bluestone slab under the bamboo.Looking up at the blue sky, there are a few thin white clouds floating, and the northwest wind blows slightly from the sky, which makes people who have been in the house for a long time feel comfortable for a while.She stood with her hand on a bamboo, looked at the sky, and felt a feeling in her heart.All of a sudden, she heard the sound of the wall door leading to the outside of the small courtyard, and she expected that it must be my sister-in-law's vernal equinox.Then he smiled and said, "You always follow me. If I don't come here for a hundred days, you haven't been here either. I am having fun today, so you will follow me. If I die in the future..."

She didn't finish this sentence, that person had already walked in.He is not the vernal equinox, but the vernal equinox's older brother.Chunhua came to his house, but he had seen each other a few times within a few months, but when he saw him from a distance, he moved away, or knew that he had come home from the store, so he hid in the house and died. Not coming out either.So we have been a family for three months, and we haven't been alone with each other for five minutes.At this moment, he came suddenly, obviously chasing after him on purpose.There was only one door to escape, and it was his way in, which he had blocked.Behind him was the window of his own suite. If he wanted to climb in, it would be a bit out of place in front of this person.Immediately, that pink face was full of purple blood, and the eyelids of the two eyes, like the head, just drooped, holding onto the bamboo, as if catching a thief, and would not let go.Fortunately, he, her, was very self-respecting, and there were still three or four feet away, so he stopped. He first made a bow, and then whispered: "It has been three months since you came to my house." , Look at my family, up and down, has anyone said anything serious about you?"

Where did Chunhua answer his words, he just turned his head away.He said again: "Marriage is predestined in the past, and people can't make it. As for you saying that I don't have writing and ink in my stomach, I'm already studying. Consumption is cured. You think I have no hair on my head. My father has asked someone to go to the province to buy foreign medicine to treat this disease." Although Chunhua couldn't turn his head, he hummed softly from his nose.He said again: "You go and think about it slowly. My family will do everything to you, and they just want you to change your mind. If you really refuse to change your mind, what can you do? But you have already entered the housekeeper's house." Men, if I don't die, you can't go to another house! Even if I die, I don't think you may be able to leave. Think about it, what kind of family is in the house, how can you let the girl of the husband-in-law marry two families. This is what happened last year, right? An old woman in your village, who has been a widow for 60 years, set up a chastity memorial archway, which caused a sensation in several counties. Even the master of Xingan County came to your house to congratulate her. It is said that you have the best family style in the Yao family, and you only produce women with three obediences and four virtues. You are the patriarch's girl, and you are also educated, not to mention, you don't care about your father's face, but also the Yao family's face. I Although I have read a few sentences less, at such a great age, I always know the principles of nature and human relationships, what do you think of what I said?"

Chunhua really didn't expect him to say such a big truth.Although she didn't want to look at his face or listen to what he said, every word he said was true.He could only take two steps back, to get behind the bamboo bushes.He also saw that although she did not refute this statement, she also refused to take it seriously.He sighed and said: "I have nothing to do with the face of the two families. If it is not like this, I will not force it. What's the point of forcing it!" After finishing speaking, he held his head up and sighed again. , and he left. Chunhua watched him go through the bamboo, so don't go away here, just sit outside the window, on the stone steps in front of the dripping eaves, put his hands on his thighs, lift his chin up, and just look at everyone. The stacked bamboo leaves are in a trance.Suddenly there was a burst of sadness, and two lines of tears flowed out like strings.Because this place is behind her suite, no one usually goes to it. As long as she doesn't cry out, no one will know.Chunhua cried for a while, and then thought silently for a while, thinking that besides running away, it would be impossible to find a bright future in the mother-in-law's second house.And this escape, for the first time, he failed to escape, and fell into the fire pit.If you want to escape the second time, I'm afraid it won't work.Even if he could escape, where would he go in this vast sea of ​​people? This really only had to follow that annoying person's words and resigned himself to being guarded by the housekeeper.When I thought about it this way, my heart immediately felt uncomfortable, and I shed tears again.It's been bleak like this for a long time.He still heard noises in the suite, so he hurriedly stood up. Looking inside, it was the spring equinox looking around, looking for someone.She suddenly said, "Sister, why are your eyes swollen? Are you crying again?" Chunhua didn't deny it, and sighed lightly.

Chun Equinox crawled over from the window, grabbed her clothes, and just asked, what's the matter? Chunhua just shook his head and said: "It's nothing serious, I got ashes in my eyes." She said After finishing such a simple reason, he bowed his head and walked into the room, then fell on the bed and fell asleep.Chun Equinox looked puzzled, so he secretly told his parents.The Guan couple knew that their son had returned home, and this was the biggest reason. The couple looked at each other and sighed sullenly.Although it was a sulking breath, it increased the pressure with Chunhua.

That night, Chunhua didn't come out for dinner, but he heard his father-in-law's voice in the front room loudly, as if he was arguing with someone.So he quietly walked out of the room, and leaned against the back wall of the main room, listening to what was said in front.First, I heard the table thump and slap, and then my father-in-law shouted: "You don't have to stop me, it's just like this. I'll invite a few gentlemen from Xingan County, and a few gentlemen from Linjiang City .At that time, I will tell the truth about this marriage. As long as the gentlemen can say that I don’t care about someone, I will wear red and ribbons, blow gongs and fire cannons, and send Miss Yao Tingdong back. , I told him Yao Tingdong not to be a man in Xingan County!"

When Chunhua heard this, his heart couldn't help jumping wildly, cold sweat poured out of his pores, and his feet trembled a little.So he supported the wall with his hand, and quietly looked inside from the crack in the wall.I saw a lot of red paper invitations on the horizontal table where my father-in-law used to keep accounts, and my father-in-law held a hookah in his hand and put his legs on the red paper invitations.The mother-in-law sat on the side with a silent attitude, as if she was also troubled by this matter.After a while, she persuaded Gong Gongdao: "In that case, we will lose face. I think this girl is much more docile now. In two or three months, I think she will be fine. "The father-in-law said again: "I will never let my son go home for a daughter-in-law. Yao Tingdong also uses a ruler to measure other people's doors, can he teach his girl to do this?" The mother-in-law said again "I heard that Yao Tingdong has a heartache because of this girl, and he gets angry when he gets angry. If you have such a big fight with him, if he has any troubles, wouldn't it be you who hurt her? Girl Although the child has a bad temper, our two relatives can still get along well. If we can bear it, we should endure it, and we must not lose face." The mother-in-law said this, but the father-in-law just smoked and didn't care about it. Reply, followed by another sigh, seemed to have been moved by her words.Chunhua felt that this difficulty was not easy to break through.His legs were trembling, and he just sank.After a while, I heard my father-in-law sigh again and said: "Okay, I'll be patient for another month or two. After the new year, I can no longer be so vague."

Chunhua secretly called Buddha twice, walked and crawled back to her room, lay on the bed and thought quietly, but fortunately her mother-in-law said a few words of conscience and suppressed this post.Otherwise, this big dispute will definitely drive my father to death. At that time, will I still be at my in-law’s house, or should I go back to my mother’s house? No one knows, and they may not take me in.I don't think anything of myself, but I feel that both my father and my grandmother are very kind.If the mother-in-law and the second family really come to treat guests and reason for their own affairs, the father will die half-life if he is not angry.At my grandmother's age, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive.This matter involved too much, so she had to be patient, she added a layer of patience to her mind, and she stayed up most of the night thinking on the pillow.Waking up the next morning, paying attention to her eyes, she quickly took a picture in the mirror, which added another layer of embarrassment to her.Both eyes were swollen like walnuts, but the eyeballs were red.In front of her parents-in-law who are all angry, if I let them know that I cried like this, it will make them even more angry.Because of this, he took a handkerchief in his hand, covered his eyes, and sat in a dark place in the corner of the room.When the vernal equinox came, he said, "Sister, don't touch my towel. I have an eye disease. You said yesterday that I was crying, but I didn't make a sound. Now you can believe that I am not crying, but my eyes hurt." As he spoke, he pulled Chunfen to stand in the bright place, put down his hands covering his eyes and said, "Look." Chunfen gave a sound, then supported Chunhua's shoulders, and stretched out his head to look carefully.Mengyuan Book City (my285.com)

Chunhua hurriedly pushed her away and said: "It's not a joke, you can be a bad eye." Chun Equinox said: "I'll go and tell my mother..." The following words were not uttered, and the person had already gone away.Seeing her like this, Chunhua felt more comforted, and still shrank into the corner of the room.Sure enough, after a while, the mother-in-law herself came to see her illness.Seeing that her eyes were red, I believed that she had a bad eye.I made some chrysanthemum tea for her that day and didn't force her to come out.But this gave Chunhua a kind of convenience, knowing that the housekeeper believed that he was ugly, so he cried.That night, I was thinking on my pillow, if I don't jump out of this fire pit, I will be really wronged in my life.Let's jump out of this pit of fire, not only the face of the father, but also the whole family of the Yao family will be ugly.I can never go home again.Thinking of the middle of the night, I heard the clock in the temple in the distance striking the midnight bell, jingling, gonging again.Suddenly my heart moved, thinking, even if I had no choice but to go to the temple to be a nun, it would be much better than being wronged.With that, my first step is to seek to become a monk, first make this body so that I can make decisions on my own.I remember that in Gu'er's poems, there is a story about Chen Miao often driving a boat.If I were Chen Miaochang, I would be free to chase after Li Xiaoqiu.She thought about the plan for several months, and finally let the bell ring to tell her a way out, but she went to become a nun and then get married.She felt that this method was a unique secret, so she fell asleep at ease.

In the morning of the next day, the mother-in-law came to see her eyes again, and seeing that her eyes were still red, she said, "This is too bad, I have to find a doctor to prescribe a prescription, I will send you to Dr. Let's see." Chunhua said: "It's nothing more than a doctor. I usually have bad eyesight, so I go to the nunnery and ask for some clean water to wash my eyes." Mrs. Guan said with a smile: "That's also very good. I'll send someone to take you there. Just around the corner from East Street is the Guanyin Pavilion, which is very close."

Chunhua liked it very much, but didn't want to find a way out by accident.Instead, he acted like he was burning incense and paying homage to the Buddha. He changed into clean clothes first, and asked the maid to carry a basket of joss sticks to offer incense to the Guanyin Pavilion.As soon as the maid entered the door, the old nun Zhixiang recognized the housekeeper from the city, and immediately greeted her down the steps of the hall with a smile on her face.He clasped his hands together and said, "This is the young mistress, let's make a connection." As he spoke, many wrinkles appeared on his sharp face.The maid gave her a wink and said, "You should call me big girl." Zhixiang nodded with a smile and said, "Oh, yes! Big girl is such a delicate figure, a portrait with blessings. Oh, the eyes are so beautiful. It's on fire. It doesn't matter, just ask for some clean water to go back and wash." She said, took the incense candle basket from the maid, and led it to the hall first.Two middle-aged nuns in their thirties rushed out, took the basket from Zhixiang, and lit candles and incense.As soon as Chunhua stood still in front of the Buddha, Zhixiang stood up and knocked on the rock.Chunhua kowtowed and didn't say a word.She was muttering words, and she had already said a long list of words.Chunhua also wondered in her heart, how could she know what I was going to pray to the Bodhisattva? But she was so enthusiastic, after all, she had good intentions, so naturally she didn't bother to ask.Chunhua kowtowed, and Zhixiang ordered the two nuns and apprentices and Chunhua to fill a pot of clean water, and brought Chunhua to the living room for tea. Calligraphy and paintings are hung in this living room, and there are big Kang and small tables, which is already very bad.Zhixiang lifted the curtain and led her into an elegant room inside.There is a carved round lattice door in the middle, inside which is a low Zen bed, a mattress made of bamboo leaves and white flower cloth, and a purple futon with the word "shou" on it.A silk thread was hung on the gate, and a bag of citron was attached to it.There is a piano table on the horizontal wall, and there are two scriptures framed by yellow silk.A large yellow porcelain plate holds a large bergamot several feet long.In addition, there is a coral tree and a Baishi Guanyin.There are two large porcelain pots by the window, and two camellias with hibiscus petals, which are delicate and charming.There are no tables and chairs in the room, just two futons with thick cloth covers, a low tea table sandwiched between them, and two bowls of fragrant tea and a plate of dried fruit are already placed.There are not many calligraphy and paintings on the wall, only a picture of "Vimo facing the wall" and a bamboo couplet with five characters.Chunhua smiled and said, "What an elegant and clean house. It's so comfortable to be a monk. I want to become a monk." Zhixiang said, "Amitabha, this room is just for grandma and ladies to rest their legs and drink water after burning incense. We How can I enjoy myself comfortably?" Chunhua sat, looked around the house a few times, and said with a smile: "Although you said you can't enjoy it, after all, your house is cleaned up, but you don't eat good food. If you put it on well, your six sense organs will be clean." Zhixiang clasped his palms together and said, "Amitabha, big girl, isn't that what you become a monk for?" Chunhua pretended not to care, and said with a smile: "For example, I want to become a monk now, as long as the master is willing to take me in, will that be all right?" Zhixiang smiled and said: "Amitabha, the eldest girl is young, How do you say such a thing?" Chunhua paused, then smiled and said, "Naturally, I would say this for example. If a young refugee like me escaped to your hands, she would not be able to save her life unless she became a monk. What are you going to do?" Zhixiang said: "As long as she is determined to leave the world of mortals behind, she can naturally be taken in. But monks don't want to cause trouble, so they have to find out her background." Chunhua nodded and said: "This That’s it. To tell you the truth, I prefer to read Buddhist books, but I don’t understand them very well. Fortunately, we are not far away. In the future, I will often come to ask my teacher and father for advice.” Zhixiang said: “We don’t even know how to read. From now on, I will recite scriptures and pray for confession with my master, and most of them will be passed on by word of mouth. It is impossible to talk about scriptures with me! Sure enough, people say that the eldest girl is a talented woman, who can write good characters and write good poems. My meditation hall Here, Master Liu in the master’s yamen has painted four hanging screens, can you write a small nave for me? Let’s make a relationship.” Chunhua thought to himself, this nun is very kind, and there is nothing wrong with it. It's tacky, and I will still have it when I beg her in the future.Then he smiled and said, "I'm embarrassed to give away my calligraphy, but the master said it was a connection, so I'm embarrassed to shirk it. I'll send it to you in a few days." Zhixiang was very happy when she heard this, and kept Chunhua to sit and talk for a while, cooked a bowl of plain noodles for her, and then let her go back.Chunhua's eyes were originally swollen from crying, but after a long rest without crying, the red eyes gradually faded.When she returned home from the nunnery, Mrs. Guan was surprised when she saw it, and only said that she was a good spirited master Guanyin.Chunhua then said: "I have made a wish. My eyes are healed. I will go to the nunnery to burn incense on the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month." Can you go at fifteen? But you will never regret making a wish, so remember it.” Chunhua said: “Fortunately, the road is near, so I will go as soon as I remember, and there will always be time. A few words." After she explained this, the mother-in-law didn't make a sound, this is also a very common thing, and there is no need to repeat it. On the next day, Chunhua's eyes were completely reddened.In the morning, Zhixiang personally went to the housekeeper to fetch the jug filled with clean water yesterday.First, we talked for a long time in Mrs. Guan's room, and then took a piece of rice paper to Chunhua's room, and shouted outside the door: "Miss, are your eyes okay?" It was the voice of an old nun, and she greeted her.Zhixiang inquired and said: "Bodhisattva, bless you, your eyes are all healed! Miss, you have to help us no matter what happens in our nunnery. I brought the paper. Someday you will give it to me. I dare not Say, but I beg you, the sooner the better." As he spoke, he clasped his hands again and again.Chunhua took the paper and said with a smile, "Please sit in my room. Although it's not as elegant as your nunnery, it's clean." Zhixiang said, "If the eldest girl doesn't hate me, she will come to the nunnery sometime in the future. Let's talk again. I've been out for a long time, so I should go back." She smiled all over her face, said her goodbyes, and left immediately.Chunhua thought, a monk might not want to sit in a secular home for a long time, so he let her go.On the contrary, the piece of paper she handed over was a real jade plate, don't underestimate monks, she also understands these elegant things.When I was happy, I slowly sharpened the inkstone, cut the piece of jade paper into three small sheets, and wrote them all, but chose the one with the best writing, and on the fifteenth day, I personally sent it to the nun. go to the nunnery.Zhixiang went on, very happy, saying that it will be mounted tomorrow, and it will be hung up in a few days.Chunhua has never written screen couplets with anyone before, and now that Lao Ni is so happy, he is very happy in his heart.Stuck at home for a few days, I wanted to talk to Zhixiang. Before the first day of junior high school, I brought the vernal equinox to the temple again.When parting, Zhixiang said to her: "There are a lot of people burning incense on the first day of the new year. If the elder girl wants to come to fulfill her wish, please come at three or four o'clock in the second half of the day. Because there is no one in the nunnery at that time, I can accompany you well." Let's talk, I'll make you a pot of good tea." Chunhua was also very willing to talk to her, so he agreed to her date without any doubt. On the first day of the new year, Chunhua was also happy for a while, and changed into a thin cotton-padded jacket with blue foreign satin, which reflected her snow-white and plump face like a fresh apple.Today I don't wear braids. I wear a small braid from the left side and cross it from the back of my head to the corner of my head on the right side. I put a bun there, and under the bun, a bunch of red silk threads fell down.With this kind of attire, I have only come here three times a year: the first time was after Xiaoqiu came to study for a few days, the second time I went to Sanhu to burn incense, and I also went with Xiaoqiu, and the third time was today.Some people say that they look very good-looking in this way.Who should I dress up for now? It would be a pity to not dress up.You can only go to the temple to burn incense and dress up for the Bodhisattva to see.If the Bodhisattva takes a fancy to her and accepts her as an adopted daughter, that's what she wants.She had such infatuation, so she was very happy. On the afternoon of the first day of the new year, she went to the nunnery to burn incense.When she arrived at the front of the nunnery, the nunnery door was already tightly closed. After knocking for a long time, the door opened and Zhixiang came out to welcome her. Chunhua said: "Why did you close the nunnery so early today?" Zhixiang said: "Just because the eldest girl is coming, I closed the nunnery early to prevent other pilgrims from coming." After entering the gate of the nunnery, people immediately calmed down.A holly tree propped into the air by the gate of the courtyard wiped out half of the setting sun, reflecting the red wall of the Buddha Hall, very beautiful.The cobblestone sidewalk in the courtyard is thick with moss on both sides, which shows that there are very few people walking, and a slight scent of sandalwood hovers in the air.Chunhua said: "Oh! Buddhism is so good. Once I come here, I love once." Zhixiang smiled and said, "This is called fate. Girl, remember, if you have fate, you can't miss it." ” As he spoke, he led her to the Guanyin Hall to worship incense, and then led her to the meditation room.The first thing that pleased Chunhua was that the small nave written for Zhixiang had already been hung on the wall.Zhixiang put her hands together first and said: "Miss, I would like to thank you first. People say that your handwriting is good, and your poems are also good. Such a talented woman does not want to be in the Guanfu." Chunhua said: "This Who said it?" Zhixiang smiled and said, "I went to the government office to ask Mr. Liu for that painting, and brought your writing with me. When Mr. Liu saw it, just say yes. That's all, and there is more. The second young master saw that it was a living treasure, so he had to keep it. I said, "Although the second young master is a nobleman, this was given to the nunnery by the eldest girl. It is something in front of the Buddha, so you can give it to others casually.But I begged her to write another one on behalf of the second young master, there is nothing wrong with that. "Chunhua said: "Where is this? I am a girl, how can I write and send it to the government?" After saying this, his face sank. Zhixiang smiled and said: "Amitabha, monks don't want to lie.I lied to the second young master of the mansion once for the sake of the word eldest girl.Think about it, if I'm not lying, can he let me take back this calligraphy of yours?" Chunhua heard what she said, so he stopped asking. Zhixiang smiled and said: "Please sit down for a while Huizi, I invite them to make you a pot of good tea to drink. "As he spoke, he turned and left. Mengyuan Bookstore (my285.com) Chunhua sat on the pudun for a while, thinking in her heart that the old nun was kind to me at last, and in the future I could talk to her slowly and tell her what was on my mind.If she could really do me a favor and ask her to introduce me, I would escape to a nunnery in another county to become a monk.Thinking like this, she thought that her algorithm was very accurate.I was lost in thought, but heard footsteps in the living room outside, and said with a smile: "Master, you are welcome, I will ask you to accept me as an apprentice in the future." As he spoke, he stretched his head and looked out Go, this could not help but surprise her.It turned out that it wasn't Zhixiang, but a man in his thirties.The man was wearing a gown of purplish red Ningxia silk, with a Qinghu crepe belt tied around his waist, a part of which was pulled out. Red top.The man's face was originally in the shape of a date stone, but with the addition of the pointed melon cap, the face was longer, with an eagle nose, small eyes, and a lot of big white pockmarks beside the nose.Looking at it from afar, it can be predicted that he is not a good person.But he didn't retreat because there was a female relative here, but with a smile all over his face, he stood still and made two deep bows to her.Chunhua was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he just stepped back backwards. But the man spoke, and he said: "Miss, I am the second young master of the mansion, because the master here took the small middle hall you wrote and brought it to the yamen. After I saw it, I really admired it." It’s great. I know that the girl is going to come to burn incense this afternoon to fulfill her vow, so I came here specially to visit.” Seeing him like that, Chunhua might not be able to hide. He turned his face and said: "Hey! You are so rude. Men and women are different, why just talk to me, who recognizes you?" The man smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know, the first time we met, the second We are acquaintances since we met for the first time." While talking, he had already walked over slowly.Chunhua glared and said: "This is the Buddha's land, what are you going to do? Are you going to go? If you don't go, I'm going to shout." The man smiled and said: "You can just shout if you shout. Are you The incense burner, I am also an incense burner, I met in a nunnery, what's the big deal? You report to the Yamen of Linjiang Mansion, that's my home!" He laughed for a while.Chunhua saw that there was a low window behind him, which happened to lead to the courtyard, and turned to the front of the Buddhist hall.In his busy schedule, he didn't know where the strength came from, he grabbed the window sill with both hands, crawled and jumped over, and after jumping into the courtyard, he ran towards the entrance of the nunnery without looking back.Fortunately, the door of the nunnery was half-closed, so I didn't have to bother to open it, so I ran to the street. When I got to the street, I saw pedestrians coming and going, and my heart sank. After taking a few breaths, I calmed down and walked towards the door of the house.However, his face was flushed, his hair was disheveled, and the little clothes around him were soaked in cold sweat.When he arrived at the gate, he stood still and calmed down, smoothed his hair on the sideburns with his hands, and then walked in.The family knew that she came back from burning incense, but no one paid attention to her actions.Chunhua arrived in her room, sat down and collected herself, thinking of what happened just now, her heart couldn't stop beating.No wonder people say that three aunts and six wives are not good things. It turns out that there is such a secret in this nunnery.Fortunately, I ran very fast. If I was caught by the thief, I don't know what kind of situation it will be at this time? Fortunately, no one knows about this matter. If this kind of scandal is known, it will be You can't wash it off even if you jump into the Yellow River.People must think that I am not good, otherwise, why did I suddenly get so close to the nun? Oh my God! Just hope that man doesn't go around talking nonsense.Otherwise, if it spreads out, it means that you can't live, you can't die! Things happened in a daze, and when you think about it carefully, you are more afraid than before.People are hiding in the house, neither sitting, standing, nor sleeping, just spinning around in the room anxiously. At night, I felt dizzy and dizzy, and actually had a fever.Some family members said that they had a cold, and some said that they had eaten something bad.Others said they were shocked.But the in-laws didn't mind much, they just invited an elderly doctor to see him, and prescribed a prescription for calming the mind and reducing fever.Chunhua was sleeping on the bed, thinking to herself, it's better not to hide this matter from her in-laws.There is absolutely nothing in the world that can be hidden from people.I spoke out, and I can show that I mean it well.I will not reveal it, but if I have suffered from others and refuse to speak out, it is obvious that my heart is not clean.With this heart, I also plan to talk to my in-laws the next day.Unexpectedly, on the next morning, I heard my father-in-law yelling in the main room, how can this be unreasonable, after a while, my mother-in-law came into the room to ask a doctor, also with an unhappy look on her face.Because of the matter in my heart, I dare not mention a word, fearing that I will not be forgiven by my in-laws, but will be reprimanded instead.After a night of sleepless sleep, the disease is cured, but the limbs are soft and soft, and there is an indescribable tiredness, so I still fall asleep on the bed.After another three or four days like this, I didn't dare to come out of the door, and I didn't know what was going on outside the door. On the afternoon of the fifth day, there was a very unexpected thing. It was my natal mother who came.Mrs. Guan accompanied Mrs. Song into the room for a while, then she avoided it, obviously intending to let her mother and daughter talk.Chunhua lay on the pillow, without opening a mouth, and when the corner of his mouth curled up, two lines of tears flowed down first.Mrs. Song sat on a chair in front of the bed, held a hookah, and just smoked, looking at Chunhua's face.After shedding tears for a while, puffing out smoke, he sighed and said, "My friend! What can you tell me to say? Your father suffered such a heartache because of you, and now he can't bear the cold." , I can’t bear it, and I’m afraid I won’t be in the church next year. To be honest, the housekeeper treats you well. No matter how you lose your temper, they will tolerate it. But the disaster you caused the day before yesterday is really not small !" Chunhua's expression immediately changed after hearing this, and Mrs. Song ignored her, and continued, "Do you think that no one except the nun knows about this? You are willing to keep it a secret, but others are still unwilling That's it. The second young master of the magistrate, he said that you are the housekeeper's girl, and he has already sent someone to propose a marriage in front of your father-in-law, saying that he had spoken in the nunnery. Your father-in-law is also very angry." Speaking of this, Low He said in a low voice: "If you are a harmonious husband and wife, the housekeeper will not be suspicious, but your heart can't be changed. How dare you meet such a playboy in the nunnery? Calling someone to propose a marriage, once the word is out, may I ask, how do your mother-in-law's family show their faces? Your father-in-law will never let this matter go lightly, and ran to our house yesterday. I want to fight with your father. Fortunately, your father is not at home. I stopped him and promised that there will always be an end." Chunhua cried: "Why is he fighting my father so hard? I didn't do anything wrong!" Song said: "I knew you didn't do anything wrong before I came here. Are you here yet? Your father-in-law has been angered by you a lot, so he just borrowed this topic to embarrass my Yao family. If you want everyone to be fine now, you can pity your father and consummate the marriage." Chunhua Choking with sobs, she said: "I can't drag my mother into trouble, I'll find someone to settle it myself." Mrs. Song put down the hookah, put her hands on her knees, she couldn't help but shed tears, and remained silent for a long time before saying, "You only have one life. Why do you say death every now and then? I think for you now, you are wrong, but as long as you take care of your body, you will be in your prime. If you can’t think about it and think it’s all over, then you’re wrong. Leave you alone Parents, let people talk about it? They say that their daughter has no face to face others, and she hides her ugliness by dying! At that time, your father must die! Your grandma must die! Me, What should I do? My flesh, you are really suffering as a mother." Song cried and complained, and burst into grief, sobbing and crying.Chunhua was originally full of grievances, but after her mother said the grievances, it was really good, so she started to cry.Song simply sat down on the edge of the bed, supported her with one hand, picked up the corner of her clothes with the other, wiped her tears, and said in a soft voice: "My son, if you are a pitiful mother, you should feel wronged a little more. Let's consummate the house. Your father-in-law is waiting for me to say something. If you don't agree, he will set up wine and talk to your father. You are a sensible person, can you make your parents and the whole family lose face? My son , You poor mother!" As she spoke, Song's tears just dripped onto Chunhua's hands.Chunhua felt that what her mother had said this time was all the truth.That tough heart really softened, so he nodded twice.And her life, it was at these two nods that the final decision was made.
