Lianyi happened to be taking a break while copying scriptures, and seeing the Wen brothers and sisters regarded it as passing the time, so he asked the guards to invite someone in.
Wen Zhaoming took his younger sister's hand and entered the main room. He saw the eldest lady of the Su family sitting on the main seat. He immediately lowered his eyes and saluted respectfully:
"See you, kid Wen Zhaoming. Pass Miss Su.”
“My little girl Wen Zhaoyue has met Miss Su.”
Yue Yue also bowed in a decent manner.
"You guys sit down and talk, don't be so formal."
Lianyi said with a smile.
"I don't dare to waste Miss's time. Today is just to pay back the medicine money I owed last time. It has taken a long time. I hope Miss will not take offense."
Wen Zhaoming did not waste time either. , immediately took out a money bag from his arms and handed it to the guard Hehua on the side.
He Hua immediately glanced at her young lady. After getting approval, she took it. When she opened the purse, she saw that it was full of broken silver, but only three taels.
"Brother Wen, don't be so anxious, I'm not in a hurry to use the money."
Lianyi also saw the scraps of silver and knew that the other party must have been collecting them for a long time, so she did not refuse. The other party was full of pride. Very strong person.
“It’s nothing to the young lady, but to me, it means I saved my little sister, so I should repay you in full.”
Wen Shaoming said his goodbyes, obviously I don't want to stay any longer and don't want to have anything to do with her.
Lianyi did not force anyone to stay, but asked Su Wu to prepare a four-color gift box as a return gift for the other party to take back. Wen Zhaoming couldn't help but flirt with the woman, and finally accepted it under the eager eyes of the younger sister. He took the gift box, thanked him again and again, and then left Sujiazhuang.
Guard Cuihua scratched her head and asked Ripple in a low voice:
"Miss, the four-color gift box you sent is worth five taels of silver. If he paid back the money, it means he hasn't paid it back, so why bother?"< br>
Lianyi held a folding fan in her hand, knocked the guard on the head and said:
"Look more, think more, talk less, and if you don’t understand, just ask Hehua."
Then he I went back to my room to copy scriptures.
Cuihua was a little unwilling to give up, so she secretly went to ask her sister:
"Lotus, what do you mean by miss?"
"You don't understand? This way we can have communication. !”
Hehua didn’t even want to admit that this person was her sister, she was so ignorant.
“You mean, the lady likes you.”
Before the other party finished speaking, he was covered by Lotus:
"Can you speak with some thought? Miss is still in her filial piety period! You are afraid that some people will not be able to catch Miss. ”
“I know!”
Cuihua nodded hurriedly and pulled the other person’s hand off her mouth.
The next day, after breakfast, Lianyi called Zhuangtou Su Wu.
Su Wu thought for a moment that he had done nothing wrong during this period, then he entered the main room with his head held high, saluted the ripples above his head and said:
"Miss, what are your orders?" It’s nothing important. They are the Wen brothers and sisters who came to Zhuangzi yesterday to pay back their money. Does Zhuangtou know them? "
Lianyi asked casually.
“The lady is talking about people from Wenjia Village ten miles away from Zhuangzi?”
Su Wu asked.
"Yes, I met by chance on the way to Zhuangzi. The young man rushed to the county town alone with his sister who was infected with the cold. There was no elder around him. I felt pity and helped."
"Miss is kind-hearted, and the two brothers and sisters in Wenjia Village are also pitiful people."
Su Wu said with a sigh.
“Tell me and listen.”
Lianyi shook the folding fan in his hand and said, obviously very interested in the story between the two.
“The mother of the Wen brothers and sisters is an ordinary peasant woman in Wenjia Village. She is the second eldest child in the family. She is an honest and hard-working woman. Because she is in the middle and not on either side, she is not favored by her elder sister and younger brother. However, she is also She never complained, but worked hard without complaint. She was a popular marriage partner among the boys.
When she got older, the elders in the family began to look at her, but she was saved on the way home. A boy fell into the water, and the boy almost drowned. It was Erniang Wen who slapped, beat and rescued him. Everyone onlookers saw that the boy was no longer innocent. , could only follow Wen Erniang back home. When the Wen family elders asked him his name and where he lived, he shook his head and said that he knocked his head after falling into the water and remembered nothing. He only knew that his surname was Cen.
But that boy is not stupid. He said that he and Wen Erniang had a physical relationship, and so many people saw it in public, and Wen Erniang must be responsible for him
The elders of the Wen family could only hold their noses and admit it, and their second son had indeed reached the marriageable age. He got a husband for free, and the matter was settled without spending a betrothal gift.
The two simply got married and lived together. However, Cen Langjun was not in good health and could not do heavy work, so he was disliked by Wen Erniang's elders. Fortunately, Wen Erniang was capable. , the husband who protects himself at all times can barely get by.
But later, for some unknown reason, Cen Langjun’s five-month-old child suddenly miscarried, and Wen Erniang’s family was separated from the Wen family and lived alone. "
Lianyi listened with great interest, and even interjected and asked:
"Is it because of the miscarriage? ”
"Indeed, the old couple of the Wen family said it was Cen Langjun who accidentally fell down and caused the miscarriage. But according to their neighbors, it was Wen Erniang's younger brother who had a dispute with their second brother-in-law, and then Cen Langjun was killed. The miscarriage was caused by pushing him down.
This scene happened to be seen by Wen Erniang, who came back from the field early. Especially after learning that the aborted baby was a formed female fetus, she beat her little brother. < br>
At that time, the cry of the younger brother of the Wen family alarmed the nearby villagers, but their doors were closed. We don’t know exactly what happened. Then for the next few days, the cry of the younger brother of the Wen family could be heard every night. Soon after, Mrs. Wen and her wife separated and were single. "
"Honest people usually don't get angry, but they are particularly scary when they get angry. I guess it is because of the loss of their beloved daughter that the younger brother will be there again. The responsibility was placed on Mr. Cen, which completely angered Ms. Wen, so she attacked her younger brother. Mr. Wen couldn't hide in his parents' room every day. "
Lianyi guessed as she shook the folding fan in her hand.
"Maybe! In short, after the two of them separated, Cen Langjun took care of himself for more than half a year, and then he could barely do some work in the fields. It took a year for the eldest brother of the Wen family to appear. Although he was a brother, the two of them She also loved her very much
After that, Cen Langjun never got pregnant, and the relationship between Wen Erniang and her family members was also very weak. After all, the other party killed her eldest daughter and hurt her own husband. In terms of health, they are lucky to have a brother.
The Wen family also knows that they are in trouble, and they don't dare to get close to Wen Erniang, but they have lived a peaceful life for two years. >
Cen Langjun felt sorry for his wife, so he tried his best to get pregnant again. This time he was lucky enough to give birth to a daughter. However, Cen Langjun's body was too worn out, and the child passed away when he was more than one year old. .
Wen Erniang was very sad, but there were two younger children in the family, especially the eldest brother, who was very sensible and could share a lot of burdens for her, so she survived the most difficult period.
Seeing that the days were getting more promising, misfortune befell Mrs. Wen again. "(End of this chapter)
