Several times in dreams

Chapter 45 Misfortunes Never Come Alone
Since Chen Zhizhou's death, the Jiang family has aged a lot.

The youngest son and the master passed away one after another, which hit her too hard.

In the past, she was deeply loved by Mr. Chen, her family was well-off, and her children were around her knees. She was really happy like heaven.

How did you lose it all in the blink of an eye?She couldn't accept it for a while, and she was depressed all day long. Many servants at home also left, and the mistress didn't care about her work, watching the family's decline.

The news of Wanying's happiness cheered Jiang up, and she suddenly felt that there was hope in her life again.

Seeing Jiang's busy circle around Wanying, Chen Wenlan didn't say anything, but the resentment accumulated in her heart.

Two years ago, she accidentally pushed Wanying down, causing Wanying to have a miscarriage and hurt her waist, but she didn't even pay for anything, instead she felt that Wanying was making a fuss out of a molehill.

"Isn't it just to give birth to a child? Which woman in the world doesn't give birth? Is she too delicate?"

"You have to stay away from her this time, and don't be bullied again!"

Every time Jiang asked her to send something or pass a message, she would pretend not to hear it, and resolutely refused to go to Meng Wanying's side.

Jiang was so angry that he jumped and scolded every day.

This year was extremely dull, the family had a new funeral, couplets could not be pasted up, firecrackers could not be set off, and the devils had snatched the fat pigs and most of the food, Jiang sighed sadly.

Meng Wanying asked Su's mother to go to the street to cut a few catties of meat. They must eat meat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, and there are three underage children below.

The house was cleaned by Chunni and the remaining two wives, and then red envelopes for the Chinese New Year were distributed to the servants.

The two mothers-in-law did not expect to have money this year, so they happily gave the New Year gift to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and went home to celebrate the New Year with a thousand gratitude.

Changsheng was the only one left in the family with nowhere to go. Jiang said that Changsheng had been sold into Chen's house since he was a child, and he was very fond of the master. He had said before that he would marry him a wife.

Chunni was also an orphan without father or mother, she was picked up by the old man at the gate of the farm in the country, she grew up with Wanying, and became a dowry girl, so she naturally stayed at Chen's house for the New Year.

It was only then that Wanying discovered that her nanny Su Mama hadn't been home in recent years.

"Miss, you don't know, my life is miserable!"

When Mama Su is not alone, she always calls Miss. "At first, I was in the Meng Mansion, and I went back every year. The second lady knew that I had children at home, so she gave me a big red envelope every time!"

"A few years ago, that old man of mine got into a bad habit of gambling. While I was not at home, he sent his teenage son to the boat gang and took money from the boat boss. It was tantamount to selling the child!"

"Later, I managed to find the boss of the boat, and wanted to get my son back. I paid double the money, but it turned out... Sigh!"

"What's the result?" Wanying didn't expect that Mama Su would have such a tragic experience.

"As a result, people said that my Zhenjiang family... fell into the water while running the boat, and the body was never found! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Mother Su was reminded of the sad incident and cried bitterly.

"what?!"

"That damned man of mine was hacked to death after he owed money from gambling. He deserved it! I hate him so much! Where else can I go!"

Meng Wanying was stunned, and quickly comforted Mama Su, "Mama Su, I grew up on your milk. Brother Zhenjiang is gone, and I will take care of you until the end of my life. Don't worry, don't be too sad, huh?"

"Really? Miss, you are really kind-hearted. With your words, Lao Su's heart is warm!"

Mother Su burst into tears.

The next day was New Year's Eve, Meng Wanying pulled herself together and took Chunni and Su's mother to make dumplings with cabbage and pork. Jiang made another small portion of cabbage and tofu dumplings, saying they would eat them at midnight.

There is a saying in the north that you must have cabbage during the Chinese New Year. The homonym means wealth, and tofu means blessings. Eat vegetarian dumplings in the middle of the night, and pray for the family to be peaceful and safe in the coming year.

The Jiang family also taught Wanying how to make jujube cake with leavened dough, layer by layer into a lotus shape, and press big red dates into the dough one by one, to show the meaning of rising every step of the way.

Wanying enjoyed making it, and made some chicken and rabbit pastries by herself, using red beans to make eyes, and cutting out wings and rabbit ears with scissors. After steaming, Wenjing and Wenxiu rushed to eat.

The New Year's Eve dinner was prepared by the Jiang family with Changsheng Chunni and the others. Wen Junwanying was busy serving dishes and setting the table. Although the year was not good, there were chickens, fish, and reunion dumplings.

Chunni, Su's mother and Changsheng refused to go to the table and wanted to eat in the kitchen. Wanying said, "My elder brother always said that everyone should be equal in this world. What is the difference between high and low?"

After all, the three of them were dragged into the main room, and everyone sat around together, having a good time, even Wen Lan, who had a cold face every day, was patiently picking fishbone for Wen Xiu today.

Looking at the whole family, Jiang's heart was full of hope, hoping that next year Wanying would give birth to a child smoothly, and she would be promoted to be a grandma.

In two years, Wen Lan will be married, in a few years, Wen Jing will be married, alas, there are so many things to do, I really can't handle it!
Jiang shi was busy in her heart, and Wen Lan was also thinking about her own affairs. The sentence Meng Wanying said just now that everyone is equal really spoke to her heart.

For the first time, she looked at Wanying seriously.

This sister-in-law is petite, with a slightly round face and a pair of beautiful big eyes that are black and white. When looking at people, there is a sincere light in her eyes, which makes people trust her immediately.

But why should I believe her?What if she just speaks nicely, a mouth that can speak, a ghost who can deceive people!Bah bah bah!I do not believe!

The two villains were fighting in their hearts, Wen Lan was agitated for a while, pushed away the bowl, said that she was full, and left straight away.

Jiang's rare good mood suddenly disappeared, and she cursed angrily: "Monster! If you say you are sick, you will be sick!"

Wanying pursed her lips, but said nothing.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Wanying was a little tired, Wen Jun accompanied her back to her room to rest, Su's mother and Chunni Changsheng cleaned up the kitchen, Jiang Shi was also tired, and planned to take Wenjing Wenxiu to bed.

As a result, the two children were going to play in the yard for a while, Jiang thought, since they had just eaten meat dumplings, they should be allowed to move around before going to bed, so as not to accumulate food, so he agreed, and repeatedly told them not to go out of the yard, not to be naughty, and not to eat. Set off firecrackers.

The two children got permission and went to the yard to have fun.

Here, Jiang shi was leaning on the bed, thinking of Chen Zhizhou's kindness to her in every possible way in the past, thinking of her sweet heart, Wenyu, she would never see them again in this life, the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and she wiped away tears.

At an unknown time, Jiang woke up suddenly, maybe because she was too tired during the day, she fell asleep unknowingly.

Jiang quickly got up and went to Wenjing Wenyu's room to see that there was no one there!

The western clock in the main room rang, struck twelve times, and it was midnight.

broken!

Jiang stepped on a pair of big feet and ran to the yard. The yard was quiet, and she shouted at the top of her voice, "Wenjing! Wenxiu!"

Chang Sheng rubbed his eyes and came out of the gatehouse, "Ma'am! The Second Young Master and the Third Young Master just went to the back garden, and they said they would go back to their room to sleep after playing for a while..."

"These two evils! Worry-free things!"

Jiang shi ran towards the backyard while cursing.

Su's mother and Chunni also got up, and Wen Junwanying just fell asleep when she was also woken up by Jiang's loud voice.

Wen Jing Wenxiu is gone!
The big guys searched around the back garden, but there was no one there!

Changsheng even held a lantern and shone in the well for a long time, but the water was frozen, but nothing!
Changsheng pledged his life that it was absolutely impossible for Wen Jing and the others to go out from in front of his eyelids, because he locked the door after eating, and the key was still tied around his waist.

Is it possible that the two of them can go to the sky and drill into the earth?

Wanying asked Wenjun Changsheng to carry the lantern, and searched for the base of the wall in the north courtyard, and sure enough, she found a dog hole in the northwest corner.

In summer, the Goudong is completely covered by weeds, but this winter when the hay is removed, it is exposed.

Chang Sheng tried, but couldn't get out, but children like Wen Jing and Wen Xiu could still get out.

"Go around and look for it!"

Wen Jun and Chang Sheng ran ahead, and several women followed behind with lanterns.

As soon as I went around the wall, I heard a loud noise in the field in the distance, and a fireball rose from the field to the west!
The whole family was petrified!
