"Mom, the world has changed now, and the Australians are here. I heard that divorce is allowed under Australian rule. Let's find the Australians to seek justice. Divorce him and draw a clear line with him. If you have any conflicts in the future,
I'll do it." Guan Zongbao said with determination.
When Huang heard the word "divorce", her mind went blank. In her limited social experience, only men had divorced their wives, and she had never heard of women being able to "divorce" their husbands.
In terms of society at that time, it was not uncommon for the woman to propose "harmony and divorce" between husband and wife, but it was very rare. Most of the time it was the husband who did not do his job properly or was sued, and the natal family stood up for the daughter and forced the man to divorce his wife. It was said that "harmony and divorce" were the result.
"Leaving" is still formally "leaving one's wife".
Huang was born into a small local family, and her parents' family was in a difficult situation, so it was impossible to stand up for her. Her parents taught her "three obediences and four virtues" since she was a child. Several times she went back to her parents' home to cry and complained that she couldn't live with her life anymore, and her mother also advised her to be patient.
Live your life well and don't make others laugh.
Mrs. Huang muttered with tears in her eyes: "Hey, I don't want to live with him for a long time. When your grandpa promised me to him, he also thought that the Guan family was a local wealthy family with a family business, and he was a young man who entered his family."
After living a hard life, now that I think about it, marrying anyone back then was better than marrying him. My grandma, your grandma, taught us sisters from a young age to be tolerant in everything.
He liked to go out and have fun and make friends, and he was kind to me in the early years. But he got this strange disease, and his temper became worse day by day. When you were a child, he still endured the pain and raised fish and flowers..."
When Guan Zongbao heard his mother mention what happened when he was a child, an unknown fire arose in his heart. In his childhood memory, when he was strong and healthy, this so-called father would always get drunk with his friends and get drunk with him.
He had never had a heart-to-heart relationship between father and son, but he still flirted with women outside and threatened to divorce his mother several times. It was his mother who cried and taught him, who was young and ignorant, to go to Guan Youde to intercede, considering that he was still young.
For her sake, don't divorce her, let her raise the child well. Later, Guan Youde took medicine for many years and could not give birth to any children. Others secretly said it was retribution.
Seeing Huang's hesitation, Guan Zongbao said: "Didn't he tell you many times that he wanted to divorce you a long time ago? Since he is interested and you are also interested, the matter is half done. Coercion is not sweet!"
Huang said: "If he were a healthy man, I would be at ease even if he divorced me. Look at the way he looks like he is dying now. If I leave him, not to mention whether it will work out, others will see it.
If you know what unpleasant gossip to say, your grandpa and uncle will never be able to hold their heads high as human beings in the future."
Guan Zongbao said: "Did we cause him to look like this? He did it all by himself! He said all day long that he was going to die tomorrow, but today he beat us two with great force! He is so ruthless and unjust
,Ama, why are you still speaking for him?"
"Bao'er, grandma has been worthy of him in this life. He owes us, mother and son. The person I'm most sorry to in this life is..." Mrs. Huang said and started crying again, "It's you! It's all my fault.
Mom is incompetent and can’t let you stay in the clan to study and gain fame.”
Guan Zongbao entered the clan school when he was young. The clan studies teachers said that he was a good student. At the age of 13, he was recommended by the clan to take the boy examination. I didn't know what was wrong with Guan Youde, so he was asked to drop out of school before the boy examination.
He went home to learn a trade so that he could support his family. At that time, Guan Zongbao felt that he had grown up and had the responsibility to shoulder the burden of the family, so he dropped out of school and went home to learn to raise fish and flowers. As the family property was being sold off one after another, it was used to treat Guan Youde's illness.
Later, it was no longer possible to raise fish flowers. His grandmother could raise silkworms and reel silk, so Guan Zongbao used Huang's remaining savings and the money he saved from raising fish flowers to rent more than ten acres of mulberry gardens to support his family.
In order to obtain silkworms, I could sell some mulberry leaves to others to make some money. I also rented a fish pond and built a mulberry fish pond like ordinary local farmers.
God's joke turned Guan Zongbao from a frail scholar into a farmer working hard under the scorching sun, his hands covered with calluses. He thought that as long as his family lived in harmony, even though life was hard, he would eventually make it through.
, but Guan Youde's behavior became more and more weird. Guan Youde originally loved drinking. After getting sick, he still had a medicine jar in his left hand and a wine bowl in his right hand. Not only that, in recent years, he also developed the habit of smoking with his former gang of friends, which made him
To make the family's difficult situation worse, Guan Zongbao and Huang hated it with all their hearts, but Guan Youde kept saying that tobacco is a wonderful medicinal material. Old Chinese medicine doctors said that the famous doctor Zhang Jiebin highly praised tobacco, and she and her son would not let him smoke.
I just want him to be buried as soon as possible.
Guan Youde occupies the moral high ground, but Huang's mother and son cannot stand up to him, so they can only endure it, but what they get in return is getting worse. When Guan Zongbao was still studying, Guan Youde was still working despite his illness, and he knew that money was not easy to earn.
, dare not spend money lavishly. Since Guan Zongbao took on the burden of the family, others praised Guan Youde for giving birth to a good son, and he should enjoy the blessings in his life. Guan Youde also felt that it was time for him to enjoy it, and he began to feel restless.
Due to physical discomfort, he no longer does any farm work, not even doing things within his power such as cooking and laundry. Instead, he spends money more and more as he pleases. I don’t know where he heard the truth about life.
The greatest sorrow is that the money has not been used up after death.
Huang worked day and night, and after finishing his silkworm work, he still had to cook food and bring it to him. Not only did Guan Youde not feel grateful, he often picked at the bones of the eggs, which was not delicious and unappetizing. Later, Guan Zongbao heard from his neighbors.
As early as when he was in family studies, Guan Youde often beat and scolded Huang, driving her into the pig pen and not letting her enter the house, but Huang never complained to him. Even so, Huang still endured.
Guan Zongbao didn't know how his mother had endured it for so many years. Guan Zongbao secretly swore that if he had a chance to establish himself in the future, he would take his mother out of that hellish place, and that's how he built the house in Sanji outside the village.
Broken thatched house.
"Mom, I don't blame you." Guan Zongbao said: "If you want to blame it, blame the world."
When Mrs. Huang thought about her precious son, he was once the seed of a young genius, but now his hands are full of calluses. He is fifteen or sixteen years old, which is the age when he proposed marriage, but now he can't even find a matchmaker. How much later will it be?
Nian Ke was about to be a bachelor for the rest of his life, and he couldn't help but cry bitterly, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Living separately, no one is willing to let their daughter marry into this family and suffer. He is not only inconsiderate of his son, but also extremely aggressive. It is really hard for a shit-eater to make things difficult for a shit-eater, wu wu wu..."
Guan Zongbao saw his mother crying and asked sadly: "Mom, let me ask you, are you still willing to live with him? As long as you make up your mind, I will go to the Australians to seek justice. I listen."
People going to the market said that a group of Australian officials came to Jiujiang Market yesterday."
Huang hesitated for a moment and said: "Australians are not here every day. Even if justice is given to us, who will recognize this justice when the Australians leave? The clan has its own rules. If I want to live separately from him, I must
He needs to ask the clan elders to discuss it together. As for his food and drink expenses, he also needs to ask the clan elders to set rules. If he is like him, one tael of silver will be charged for making trouble today, and two taels will be charged for making trouble tomorrow.
Yinzi, where did you get your wife’s book from?”
Guan Zongbao said: "Mom, you are so confused! Your surname is Huang, not Guan. You married into the Guan family and suffered for so many years. Has anyone in the Guan family said a fair word to you? How do you expect someone from them to stand up and preside over it?
Fair? Who will you run away to take care of this sick man? Is anyone willing to use money from the family property to fill his bottomless pit? People are pointing at us, mother and son, to wipe his ass!"
Huang hesitated and said: "We are just unknown people. It is said that upright officials cannot handle household affairs. How can Australian officials care about such trivial matters?"
"How will you know if you don't try?"
"Then... give it a try." Huang wiped the tears on her face, her glasses were already red from crying.
The sky outside the house was darkening, but she was not sleepy at all. She was still worried about how to get out of this desperate predicament. She asked Guan Zongbao to go to bed first. The silkworms she had made had almost reached the "third sleep", and Guan Zongbao would be needed in the second half of the night.
Get up and feed the mulberry for her, alternating between the two to avoid exhausting the body.
Raising silkworms is a very hard work. After the silkworms hatch into silkworm ants and "pass through the nest", they need to be fed every day. Silkworm farmers generally feed the silkworms once every three hours, eight times a day, and work hard day and night to interact with the silkworms.
Sleep together and rise together. Feed once in the morning, at noon, at Shen, at You, at the first watch, at the second watch, after the second watch, at the beginning of the fourth watch, and at the fifth watch. When feeding mulberry, wait until all the silkworms have risen before putting them down.
Mulberry leaves to prevent the different development of silkworms, resulting in uneven quality of silkworms. Day and night, the silkworms are getting bigger and need to be divided into nests. The feces must be removed twice a day, once in the morning and once in the morning, and the silkworms must be rolled up and moved by hand.
After passing through other nests, remove the silkworm excrement and use it to cultivate mulberry base and feed the fish in the pond.
The most serious threat is silkworm disease. During the "silkworm sleep", silkworm farmers must always identify the color of silkworms. During the first sleep and second sleep, less mulberry leaves are consumed. If silkworm farmers see that the molt is not complete, it is commonly known as tail strangulation, or
If you see sandworm legs, green legs, sand-skin legs, etc. when you are first sleeping, you should throw them away immediately to prevent the loss of mulberry leaves, which is in vain. There is a disease commonly known as "blackhead", which often occurs in silkworms.
After the "Great Sleep" and before cocoons are formed, it is too late to remedy the situation. Silkworm farmers can only see if they can form cocoons. Even if they form cocoons, they will be very thin. If severe cases fail to form cocoons, they may even rot and emit a foul odor. They must directly
Discard to prevent infection. There is also a silkworm disease commonly known as "red bone", which will cause the silkworms to stiffen and die immediately, but fortunately it will not be transmitted on a large scale. The most troublesome thing is an inexplicable silkworm disease.
There is no warning, and it does not occur until the harvest is about to happen, which is surprising.
