Chapter 88 Brother-in-law, he went to sea?
"But why can't Aniang find her way home?"
“Isn’t our family easy to recognize?”
"Next to the tallest and largest mulberry tree in the village, there is a honeysuckle tree at the door of the yard. It climbs high and smells fragrant when the wind blows. Is this our home?"
At that time, she could not fully understand why her mother-in-law always looked at her with compassion and sadness.
It seemed as if there was some unspeakable sadness that was tugging at her heart.
She didn't understand, she just felt that A Niang was not as smart as she was, and she couldn't even remember how to get back to her own family.
Later...
When the bodies of her mother-in-law and her father were dumped at the entrance of the village, she still didn't want to believe it.
Obviously I just went out to do a long-term job, and I obviously said I would be back in three to five days, and the longest time would be more than a month.
How come the days passed by and after many days of no news, what came back was two cold and unrecognizable corpses.
Jiang Anning thought about the past and shed tears unconsciously.
But Song Yao was shocked.
We were talking so well, why did this girl start crying?
"Peace?"
She shouted worriedly. Seeing that the person seemed to be immersed in the sudden sadness, as if he was trapped in a nightmare, she quickly stretched out her hand to push the person's shoulder, raised her voice and shouted in the person's ear: "Peace!"
Jiang Anning came back to her senses and was surprised to realize that she was actually crying.
She was about to respond, but her throat seemed to be choked. She held in a big breath for a long time, and then relaxed after crying out.
"Sister Song..."
I feel pity for this little person who cries till the pear blossoms are covered with rain, but it makes Song Yao cry so much that his heart aches.
"Okay, okay, Sister Song is here, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry..."
Song Yao stepped forward, hugged the person and coaxed her softly.
She gently patted the person's shoulder: "Stop crying and take a break. It's going to be very difficult when your back passes."
Jiang Anning didn't know what was wrong. She didn't want to cry, but her tears were particularly disappointing.
"I..."
She choked and wanted to speak, but was soon covered up by the sound of crying and choking.
"Don't cry, dear. If you have any sad things, you might as well tell me. One of us is planning our shortcomings. Even if both of us are brainless, we can still stand up to two-thirds of Zhuge Liang."< br>
Song Yao comforted people in a gentle voice.
"There's nothing wrong with me..." I just suddenly missed my parents.
Jiang Anning whimpered and couldn't stop crying, so she simply gave up holding it back.
She let herself lean into Song Yao's arms indulgently: "I don't know why, suddenly, I feel so sad, so sad, so sad."
I really don’t know.
She was really sad and deeply shocked when her parents passed away suddenly.
But...
After all, after all these years, the sadness is still there, but eventually, with the passage of time, I gradually let go.
"It's okay, it's okay, everything has passed, everything will pass."
Song Yao didn't know what happened and couldn't comfort him, so he could only say a few words feebly.
Jiang Anning quickly adjusted her mood and let out a dull sigh.
After she wiped away her tears, she lowered her head in embarrassment: "Sister Song is laughing at me, I..."
What a shame!
"What are you talking about?" Song Yao scolded her: "Who hasn't had time to get emotional?"
"Life lasts only 20,000 days, so you should be as free as you want. Cry when you want, laugh when you want. You don't even need a reason, just be happy as you like."
Jiang Anning burst out laughing, not only because of Song Yao's words, but also because...
[Barrage] A sentence floated over at an inappropriate time.
[Shouldn’t it be thirty thousand days? Did ancient people have such short life spans? 】
She was quite surprised and thought: Is she already an ancient person?
I wonder, who are the people who let her see these words?
"What are you laughing at?"
Song Yao pretended to be angry and glared at the person: "Am I wrong?"
"Yes!"
Jiang Anning nodded vigorously: "Sister Song is absolutely right!"
"Life is short, it's time to enjoy yourself in time."
"Cry if you want to cry, laugh if you want to laugh, no matter how many reasons and excuses there are."
"Even when I'm happy, I cry like crazy, so what?"
"As long as I'm happy!"
She very much agreed with Song Yao's concept.
Song Yao laughed at her: "You seem to be moody, crying and laughing sometimes, but you scared me a lot."
"It's my fault. I'm going to apologize to my sister."
Jiang Anning stood up straight, like in the opera, holding her throat and bowing with her hands: "I hope you can forgive me, sister!"
Song Yao glared at her helplessly: "You are totally not serious."
"Sister, just forgive me. I didn't mean to scare my sister."
Jiang Anning stepped forward, hugged the person's arm affectionately, and spoke softly.
Song Yao was really worn out and couldn't do anything. He said a few times and pushed the person away: "You should stay away from me quickly. You can climb up along the pole. Get up and drive." , I’m annoying you now.”
She said she was annoyed, but it didn't stop her from being affectionate with others at all. The two sisters were holding each other's arms.
"Look at you crying, your fair face is almost like a little cat."
Song Yao patted the person's hand and said, "I'll get you some water. You can cleanse your face and then change your clothes."
She raised her head and glanced at the sky. The sun had already climbed over the treetops, bringing a little warmth.
"It's getting late, and the embroidery workshop should be open."
Jiang Anning said hurriedly: "Sister, just go ahead and do your work, I will just go get water myself."
Song Yao glared at her, unable to wait to say anything.
I heard Jiang Anning speak first: "I'm not a child anymore, how can I not take care of myself?"
"Besides, I cried so ugly just now, but I was so embarrassed. If I ask my sister to watch me wash my face again, won't I have to recall that embarrassing thing again?"
"When the time comes, I'm afraid I will be too embarrassed to see people. I will throw myself into the basin and drown myself."
What she said was exaggerated, which inevitably aroused Song Yao's scolding.
"I'm just talking nonsense. At such a young age, I don't know what to say, and I don't know the taboos."
"You can talk about it casually even if you are dead or not?"
"Hurry up, bah bah bah..."
Song Yao pulled Jiang Anning and knocked on the table three times, humming in his mouth: "Children's words are unbridled, children's words are unbridled."
Jiang Anning was heart-warming but also helpless at the same time.
She's already grown up and is no longer a child, okay?
At this time in her previous life, she was already a bride to be married...
"Don't say anything to me that you're not a child."
Song Yao seemed to see through people's thoughts and revealed them in advance.
She snorted: "As long as you are not married, you will remain a child."
Jiang Anning was slightly embarrassed, fearing that she would be forced to marry later.
She blinked and said playfully: "So, Sister Song is not married, so isn't she also a child?"
Unexpectedly, Song Yao's words almost made her jaw drop.
"Who said I'm not married?"
Song Yao glanced at her with an arrogant expression: "I have been married for many years."
"Huh?"
Jiang Anning's eyes were wide open and she looked frightened.
"Sister Song has already been married?"
She blinked: "I'm so presumptuous, I've never heard of it..."
Jiang Anning scratched her head in embarrassment.
She had a lot of dealings with Song Yao in her previous life, but it was completely unheard of for him to have a husband.
"Hey, it's not a glorious thing. It's normal that you don't know."
Song Yao waved his hand generously and did not care.
Jiang Anning was even more surprised.
What kind of husband does he have to be to be called "disgraceful"?
"Brother-in-law, did he go into the sea?"
Jiang Anning couldn't help but took the liberty to ask.
Song Yao was stunned for a while.
"What went into the sea?"
She reacted for a while and understood what Jiang Anning meant. She let out a loud laugh and laughed.
"You..."
Song Yao couldn't stop laughing. He laughed for a long time, his shoulders shook, and he even shed tears.
"I really don't know what's going on in your little head."
Even went into the sea...
"You, Sister Song, and I, after all, went to Beijing to meet Tianyan, and were rewarded and praised by the Queen Mother."
"After all, you can afford the word 'decent', right?"
"How desperate must I be to find a prostitute to come home to be an eyesore?"
"Besides, Dora is lowering his worth!"
"Just take a look at the courtesan we saw yesterday. She was also a very famous person in the past? I'm afraid there is no one in Jiang'an County who doesn't know her."
Jiang Anning blinked and then realized that Song Yao was talking about the late wife.
She said curiously: "Sister, didn't you say that yesterday was the first time to go..." Her voice paused slightly, and then her face revealed: "No wonder when I went to Huafang yesterday, my sister was so familiar with the road, and she looked like she went there often. ”
Song Yao coughed unnaturally: "Nonsense, it's really my first time there!"
"The matter of the oiran lady is not a secret in our Jiang'an County."
"I open the door to do business, and occasionally I hear a word or two of gossip. I know, there is nothing strange about it."
Song Yao tried hard to find an explanation, it was clearly that there was no smell of three hundred taels of silver here.
Jiang Anning tried to act like I believe it, I believe it all: "Yeah, yeah, of course I believe 100% in Sister Song." Song Yao snorted and muttered: "You are obviously just saying that. 'Explanation is a cover-up, and what is covered up must be the truth'. How can you even believe it? ”
Jiang Anning chuckled and didn't defend herself.
"However, I did hear about the oiran lady from the mouths of the ladies who came from the embroidery workshop."
Song Yao clicked his tongue a few times and sighed: "Before yesterday, I really didn't know what kind of person he was. I just heard a few words from the ladies' chats."
"There were many people who were willing to spend a lot of money to meet the top one."
“Thinking about it, at that time, I often heard sweet words, personal vows for life, and other words to express my loyalty.”
"But what will happen in the end?"
"I'm afraid that the original oath of eachother was completely forgotten the moment I pulled up my pants."
"The person who said it was just a casual comment, but the person who listened really took it to heart."
"What was the result?"
“When I wanted to redeem myself, I discovered that those people just talked nice, but in fact they were not willing to take action.”
"You're not even willing to redeem her body. Aren't you afraid that someone will take advantage of you and have to come in?"
Song Yao sneered: "Even men know that those who steal food must be hidden outside, and even if they want to be treated as a joke, most of them are just willing to set up a house outside and keep them inside to make trouble. So what can I do?" Will he be a fool, find a prostitute to worship heaven and earth, and sue his ancestors?”
"If this is really the case, my ancestors will be so angry that I will make them die all over again?"
Jiang Anning was embarrassed, and quickly raised her hands and swore: "I never meant this!"
"I just can't think of anything else that's disgraceful other than listing a house for...well, that or something."
It can't just be murder and arson, and it can't be a crime, right?
Song Yao let out a sigh and pressed her hand: "You can't believe it, but it's normal."
"My husband, most people would never think of it."
"Even I don't know what he looks like."
She seemed to be talking about something funny and her tone was relaxed.
Jiang Anning was even more confused.
"Huh?"
Why did she feel that every word she just heard was familiar, but when put together, it was so difficult to understand?
Song Yao felt even happier when he saw her dazed, confused and helpless look.
She said: "My man, when we got married, was already a memorial tablet. He has been dead for who knows how many years."
"Huh?"
Jiang Anning opened her mouth in surprise, and felt even more confused about the meaning of these words put together.
Song Yao saw that she really didn't understand, so he explained to her.
"There is a clear law in this dynasty that states that if a woman over twenty does not marry, she will be fined silver every year."
"In the first year, the fine will be the same."
"In the second year, I will be fined ten dollars!"
"In the third year, it will be a hundred strings, and in the fourth year, it will be a thousand strings."
"The fifth year..."
Song Yao had a slightly sullen face: "Even if you can afford to pay ten thousand yuan, you will still be dragged into marriage by the government."
"It would be fine if you were paired with someone with sound limbs. At worst, they would just be a food partner. They would live under the same roof and live a makeshift life."
"I'm just afraid. If you have a widower with both physical and mental disabilities, you won't be able to do anything and your temper will be bad."
"If I get any more perverted, I'm afraid my life will be in vain."
She sighed: "For such a marriage, the government will not allow divorce easily. Unless a boy has been born and is able to support him well, then there is a slight possibility of getting permission and divorce." Divorce and remarry.”
Jiang Anning's eyes widened in shock.
She got married too early in her previous life, and later in the Zhao family there was even less information. She didn't know about it.
So, doesn't she have to get married?
Jiang Anning shivered suddenly when she thought of the word "marry".
How to get married...
What kind of person can avoid making the same mistakes again?
Is there such a person?
No, no...
Jiang Anning grabbed Song Yao's hand eagerly, her emotions uncontrollably leaking out: "How and how did my sister finally get married to the memorial tablet...brother-in-law?"
"At that time, Sheng Yue heard about it and made my stupid father happy. He tampered with my books and changed my age from eighteen to twenty-five."
Song Yao sneered: "They think that they can force me to submit, obey their arrangements, and get married."
"But I have never been a submissive person!"
"The more they want to use my hair to marry me, the less I will let them do it!"
“I don’t want to steam the steamed buns, but I still have a good reputation!”
Song Yao: "With this energy, I broke out of the house, found a man who had died young, and became his widow."
"I promise not to remarry, but they have to give me enough freedom."
"By the time Sheng Yuewen and my confused father realized that things were out of control, I had already gone through the paperwork with the government."
Song Yao: "Before my mother passed away, she had already signed a document with the government. When I get married, half of the Wen family's property will be used as a dowry for me."
"My stupid father made his fortune with my mother's dowry, and even the government supports this division of property."
"No matter how reluctant Sheng Yuewen was, they could only hold their noses and admit it."
Song Yao's eyebrows suddenly turned cold: "It's a pity that Sheng Yuewen became the heir to my family, and the dowry belonging to my mother had to be given to him."
Otherwise, she would have to take back everything she had left.
Jiang Anning couldn't help but feel heartbroken when she heard this: "I'm sorry for you, Sister Song..."
Song Yao looked at her pitifully and burst into laughter.
"I don't have any pain. Even if I did, it's all in the past."
She spread her hands: "Look, I'm not living a good life now?"
"The clothes are bright and beautiful, and people are free. They don't have to look after their husbands and raise their children, and..."
Song Yao covered his mouth and smiled: "You don't even have to give birth to a child. My damn husband's house is full of lush roots and branches. I'm just waiting for those younger generations to take care of them and then I can choose an adoptive one that I like." , in the future, he and I will both have descendants who worship incense.”
Jiang Anning said "Huh?" "Then aren't you..."
Will all the property after death be given to others in the end?
"Yes, after my death, this property will still belong to others."
“But I don’t regret it either!”
"I would rather give it to someone else than let Sheng Yue smell that piece of shit!"
Song Yao: "What's more, the betrothal gift given by my husband's family back then was also very sincere. Over the years, they have not asked me for anything. They have indeed given me enough freedom as agreed."
"Otherwise, how would I have the chance to go to Beijing to offer birthday gifts to Buddha and get the glory I have now?"
"I'm afraid it has already become a withered flower in someone's backyard, dying, rotten and smelly."
"So, after a hundred years, it won't matter if I leave all my wealth to my heir. I am willing in my heart."
Jiang Anning thought about it and felt that it seemed right.
You only have a life span of a hundred years. If you leave your wealth to someone who pleases you, you will be able to enjoy your life. It is better than leaving it to someone who is your enemy.
If you meet a conscientious descendant, you may still be able to enjoy a few rays of incense a hundred years later.
Song Yao looked at her and was obviously moved. Before the person asked where he could find such a marriage tablet, he tapped the person's little head.
"Don't let me think about random things here!"
"Do you think this is a good thing?"
"The reason why I feel at ease today is simply because I met a conscientious person. A gentleman keeps his promise and is willing to do things according to the agreement."
Song Yao made a serious face: "Not everyone can be as lucky as me."
"What if you meet someone who is a tactless person and tells you that this is good and that is good, but in reality, when you actually sign a marriage contract with someone and get married, it will be changed. A face.”
"At that time, what else can you do? All they have to do is trap you in a small house and prevent you from contacting any relatives or friends. They will leave you with no way to ask for help, and you won't even be able to want or leave!"
Jiang Anning suddenly thought of Zhao Hai and the Zhao family... She shivered unexpectedly.
Seeing that she seemed to be scared, Song Yao did not speak softly, but still kept a straight face and spoke sternly: "Especially for a capable embroiderer like you, it will only be more dangerous."
"Don't think I'm trying to scare you!"
"I really want to meet that person who has no conscience, deceive you, lock you in that dark little dark room, and only give you an oil lamp and a bowl of rotten rice all day long."
"You are required to do enough embroidery work for ten taels of silver every day. If you don't finish it, you will be dipped in cold water with a leather whip, and your skin will be ripped open."
"Even if you do it, they won't be grateful at all."
"They will only think that you still have enough energy, and then they will squeeze you even harder!"
"Human greed and desire are endless. Even I dare not say that I have no greed."
"You expect a treacherous family to curb their greed and desire and let you go?"
"Don't be stupid!"
Song Yao's words were rough, but the truth was correct.
What's more, didn't Zhao Hai's family torture her and enslave her like this in the past?
Things that I have seen in my previous life, in this life...
Don't make the same mistake again!
Jiang Anning's eyes became firmer, but soon became sluggish again.
"I don't want to get married, but..."
Just for the fine, she still has a chance to struggle.
If the government forces a match, what else can she do?
Rebellion?
Falling grass on the mountain?
Jiang Anning frowned and pondered.
It seems...
Isn’t that impossible?
In the past, Jiang Anning probably would not have thought of such a treasonous thing.
At first, she cherished her life and was only afraid of thieves.
Secondly, she has no power to tie a chicken, and she is a woman.
Even if you really go up the mountain and fall into a bandit's trap, your fate is unknown.
Those thieves are just afraid that looking at her will not help her gain weight.
But it's different now.
Although she has never really tried it, to what extent her five senses and strength have been improved due to the changes in [rewarding].
But thinking about being blocked and robbed by Duan Qingshan before, and slightly frightening the people in the village... Her strength seemed to be much greater than that of ordinary men.
If I practice carefully in the future, I think... I will be more successful.
With martial arts at your side, if you really become a bandit, you should be able to gain some status, right?
No matter what happens, if you suppress them with force, you should always be able to gain some followers.
The more Jiang Anning thought about it, the more she felt that this path was very feasible.
The story that belongs to Song Yao should be "The Ghost Husband Is So Difficult to Deal with, Provoking Fire Every Night"
