Chen Yu walked down and looked at the gray-haired and gloomy Su Qiao Niang in front of her. She tried her best to recall how old her eldest daughter was now. When she was sure that Su Qiao Niang was only twenty-five, she couldn't help but shed tears.
He stretched out his trembling hand to touch Su Qiao Niang's face: "Qiao Niang, what's wrong with you? How did you end up like this?"
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, my words became more and more swallowed.
Su Qiaoniang turned away to avoid Chen Yu's hand, took a few steps back and turned around to run away.
"Su Qiaoniang! Stop!" Chen Yu's heart was cut by a knife and she sternly said: "You hate me and this family. I have no right to blame you! But what day is it today! You just left like this?"
Su Yunniang and Su Funiang blocked Su Qiaoniang's way.
Su Qiaoniang turned her back to Chen Yu and burst into tears when she raised her head: "You said when I got married that you never wanted to see me in this life."
Chen Yu secretly cursed the original owner as a wicked person who deducted all the bride price from his daughter. How could he have the shame to say such a thing?
But I could only curse a few words in my mind.
"Now that I see that you are living a good life, I feel relieved. However, as a married person, I have to go home to celebrate the festival this year. There is no reason to be here." Su Qiaoniang said and walked away.
Call it a decision.
"Sister, don't you miss your second brother too?" Su Erlang ran out and asked tremblingly.
Su Sanlang also came out, with red eyes: "Sister, it's been almost ten years, are you so cruel?"
Su Qiaoniang's legs are weighing thousands of pounds, but she still wants to leave. She has been angry for a long time. She will never see her mother again in this life. I took a look just now. It's good. She is living well. This is all because of God's pity.
She is Su Qiao Niang.
"Auntie, Qianxiu is ten years old. You have never seen Shao Li. He is eight years old. He also has younger sisters Fangfei, Zhuyin, Yunuan, and the fourth aunt is also going to have a baby. Auntie, you don't want to see it.
Are you looking at us?" Su Qianxiu ran over and knelt down in front of Su Qiaoniang: "Qianxiu didn't go over to give gifts to my aunt during the holidays. I kowtow to apologize. Qianxiu didn't invite my aunt back in the first month. I kowtow to apologize. Aunt, this is yours too.
Home, these are my aunt's relatives."
Su Qianxiu's words caused sobs in the courtyard.
Su Qiaoniang hurriedly pulled Su Qianxiu to his feet and patted the dust on his clothes. Her lips trembled and she couldn't say a word.
Several children came over and surrounded Su Qiaoniang.
Su Qiaoniang covered her mouth but still let out a loud cry of grief, and she fainted as soon as her eyes darkened.
Everyone rushed Su Qiaoniang to Chen Yu's room. Chen Yu hurried over to check her pulse. After checking the pulse, Chen Yu's heart sank to the bottom as if she had completed a jump off a cliff.
Cold evil enters the body, stagnation of liver qi, stagnation of qi and blood, deformation of joints, astringent and yellow face, and decline of qi and blood. In short, it is confinement disease, also called lunar tuberculosis.
Opening Su Qiao Niang's eyelids, the blood color on the upper and lower eyelids was so light that they were invisible, the whites of her eyes turned yellow, and red bloodshot streaks ran through her pupils. The liver qi became excessive after stagnation and increased in the upper eyelids. It was obvious that the disease had lasted for too long.
The veins on the hands are all over the place, and the blood vessels are curved like horned dragons. This is caused by overwork. Turn the palms over and the calluses on them are yellow and stiff, the joints are slightly deformed, and the symptoms of rheumatism are obvious.
If Su Yunniang's life was hanging by a thread at the beginning, it was very miserable, then Su Qiaoniang in front of her was more like a frog being boiled in warm water, slowly running out of life.
What a sin have you done!
Chen Yu has not complained about the original owner for some time, and does not want to think about the original owner. After all, remembering this matter all the time will make her feel stripped, but now she still can't help but pull out the original owner in her heart and whip the corpse.
No need to ask, the original owner withheld the betrothal gift and refused to give a dowry. How can such a girl not be punished when she marries into her husband's family?
In the final analysis, it was the original owner who was not a good person in the first place, and her husband's family was the one who took the trouble from behind. It was Su Qiaoniang who suffered inside and outside.
"Fu Niang." Chen Yu called Fu Niang to come over and asked, "How many children does your eldest sister have?"
Chen Yu asked whether there was anything wrong with this matter, because Su Qiaoniang had never had any contact with her mother's family since she got married. As for raising children, the Su family didn't know the specific number, but Fu Niang had been there.
Can know some.
Su Funiang sat beside the bed: "Three girls, I heard from the village that the eldest sister was pregnant less than half a year after arriving, but the fetus was unstable and she had a miscarriage. It was almost three years after the miscarriage that she got pregnant for the second time, and gave birth to Yulan.
, I am six years old this year, two years later I gave birth to Yumei, one year later I gave birth to Yuqiu, and Yuqiu is now three years old."
Chen Yu nodded, knowing in his heart that he couldn't run away and favored boys over girls.
Speaking of which, Su Sanlang was always just a scholar, but all the girls in his family were hired because of Su Sanlang. Yun Niang's husband's family was the village chief's family in Tangjiazhuang, and Qiao Niang's husband's family was also the village chief's Geng family.
, living in Gengjiazhuang, the Geng family, which has a large population, has never had any contact with the Su family because of the betrothal gift and dowry, and they live far away.
Gengjiazhuang is in the southwest of Qingniu County, six miles behind Wuya Mountain.
As for the uncle, the original owner did not even know his name in his memory, so Chen Yu had no impression of him.
"Mom, if the second sister and the second sister-in-law hadn't caught the eldest sister, I'm afraid the eldest sister would never want to come home in her life." Su Funiang looked at the unconscious Su Qiaoniang: "Last time my mother asked me about the eldest sister, I would
I didn’t tell you everything, I secretly went there several times but was rejected, but when I saw Yuqiu, I gave Yuqiu ten taels of silver to take back to the eldest sister, but I don’t know if she got it.”
Chen Yu got up and walked out. When she saw her son and daughter-in-law standing outside the door, she asked them to prepare the banquet quickly. The 23rd of the New Year is the day when the Stove Lord goes to heaven. According to folk custom, they cannot be neglected.
In fact, Chen Yu didn't want all these people to stand outside the door. It was heartbreaking to see them.
Su Lan Niang followed Chen Yu. When she saw Chen Yu picking and choosing medicinal materials, she prepared a grinder and a mortar. Knowing that grandma was in a bad mood, Lan Niang did not say anything.
Chen Yu was very sad. What was sad was that the best opportunity for treatment of confinement syndrome had been missed. The next good opportunity was to give birth again. But with Su Qiaoniang's current body, it would be fatal to get pregnant again.
Because of this, medication needs to be carefully considered and the prescription needs to be adjusted from time to time.
"Mom, eldest sister is awake." Fu Niang ran to the medicinal material warehouse.
Chen Yu repeated the prescription to Su Funiang, got up and went back to the house.
Su Qiaoniang had already gotten up, sitting on the chair with her head half-bowed. She looked up when she heard the footsteps, and quickly looked away when she saw Chen Yu again.
Chen Yu sat next to him.
"I have to go home. The children are all at home, so I don't worry." Su Qiaoniang said and stood up.
Chen Yu said slowly: "You have joint pain, numbness, distension and cramps all over your body. You are afraid of wind and cold, and you also suffer from sweating, right?"
Su Qiaoniang didn't say a word.
"You had a miscarriage in your first pregnancy. Didn't your mother-in-law know that you were going to be in confinement? If I guessed correctly, you didn't even have confinement, and you gave birth to three babies in a row. You gave birth to three babies.
Don’t you know how to love yourself?” Chen Yu’s tone was gentle, but she was not polite at all.
Su Qiaoniang smiled: "How can we live a good life? Who can support the idlers? My children are young and I don't do much work. My children will have a hard time. I'm not like you, so I feel sorry for them."
Chen Yu, who was about to vomit blood due to the connotation, was so angry that she closed her eyes. It was enough to have such an endless mess to clean up, and she also had to be ridiculed!
