rich concubine

Chapter 2572 It was cold at that time
The children were old enough to avoid suspicion, and Rong Yi secretly lamented that she was no longer young.

Rong Yi burned incense with clean hands, her face was calm and indifferent. The tranquility at this moment was deeply popular, and the faint fragrance filled the room. She looked at the glimmer of stars and the slightest smoke rising slowly. The corners of her mouth could not help but raise slightly, and she sighed softly. He said, "I don't know, Yun'er has reached the age where she needs to avoid suspicion."

Jiang Shunxiao, who had already stood up, looked at his wife who was still young and beautiful. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the story he had talked about before in the army.

Mrs. Dao Na Fan is known as the most evil woman among women. She is the most beautiful in the same village. However, she was born in the countryside and did not do the most basic farming work. There are three brothers in her family, and she is the only girl. , she was a bit pampered and developed into a pretty person who only knows how to care for flowers and plants. She couldn't bear to ask her to go to the kitchen to serve dishes.

Such a girl looks beautiful, but whoever marries her back home will be supporting an ancestor who neither knows how to farm or cook. Who can afford to marry such a girl? ?
But at that time, the girl was very self-centered and fell in love with the butcher at the head of the village, who had the same surname as Fan and was the youngest son in the family. Because the butcher was tall and tall, and had a handsome appearance that was rare in the village, he was very attractive to the young lady. The two of them were almost the same. When she fell in love at first sight, Mrs. Fan ignored the criticism of others and said she would not marry anyone but Butcher Fan. Butcher Fan was naturally overjoyed to be so favored by a flower in the village, and immediately went home to discuss the matter of getting married.

A butcher and a butcher, he has skills and fertile land at home, so it is no big deal to marry a beautiful lady. At that time, he also said to heaven and earth that after the marriage, Mrs. Fan will be like in the Fan family.

After the marriage, the couple loved each other, and their relationship became stronger day by day. And as Butcher Fan said before the marriage, he never tired Lady Fan even a little bit. After the marriage, the butcher did almost all the dirty work in the house, even though In this way, Mrs. Fan also learned a lot during her marriage. She learned how to cook, take care of housework, cultivate a small vegetable garden, and simply grow vegetables without any problem.

Such a close bond, loving husband and wife, made others envious for a while. The other young ladies in the village saw that she married so well and lived so decently, which was really enviable.

But then the war broke out and the people were displaced and worried about gains and losses. All the men in the family who could wield a hoe went to join the army.

At that time, when the butcher left, Mrs. Fan was already one month pregnant. He left almost all his money at home, took only passing money, and went north to join the army.

War is always a heavy topic. In just two words, I don’t know how much blood and bones have been piled up.

Later, the butcher died in battle, and Mrs. Fan was already five months pregnant. When the news came back, she was neither sad nor happy. But when the mother-in-law at home heard the bad news, she was so stimulated that she suffered a stroke and was unable to take care of herself. .

It is said that Mrs. Fan was very calm after learning about the butcher's death. She went to the river field while pregnant to maintain the family's livelihood, that is, food for her and her mother-in-law.

Later, in March, when Mrs. Fan's child was born, her mother-in-law couldn't bear it any longer and died after just one look at the child.

Perhaps like most women at that time, they were young and widowed with their children, and had a hard time. At that time, if there was a man in the family who joined the army and never came back, this was usually the result. Those who got married, There is absolutely no reason for a woman to return to her parents' home if she throws the water away. Besides, a woman is loyal. If she follows someone, she will be identified with that person for the rest of her life. Especially, if her husband died on the battlefield in order to protect the family and the country, no one will think of him like that. The thought of remarrying.

But by chance, Mrs. Fan, who was full-term, sent out news after the baby was three months old and wanted to look for it again.Rumors spread very quickly in the village. Others looked at Mrs. Fan as if they were looking at garbage in a stinking ditch.

Everyone angrily called her a thief who didn't know how to behave, detailing how well the butcher treated her when she was still at home, and how her mother-in-law cared about her in their hearts before she died. How could he be here?When the bodies of her husband and mother-in-law were still cold, they began to think of marrying another woman. This woman's thoughts were really vicious.

At that time, the family and the country were in trouble, and those men who dared to go to the battlefield were regarded as heroes in the eyes of everyone. As the people behind the heroes, if they did such a thing, they would naturally be looked down upon and scolded by others.

But in the face of all this, Mrs. Fan was calm and calm. She just held the child, stood at the entrance of the village, looked at the people who were pointing and said: If I can give birth to the child and leave blood to the Fan family, it is already mine. My heart softened. In such troubled times, how can I, a woman, live with an empty shell?Now you only know how to accuse me, but no one has put yourself in my shoes. You tell me, without a husband, how can I live alone with my children?Now you are calling me a wolf-hearted person, okay, I won’t marry anymore, how about you take care of our mother and son’s life from now on?

What he said made everyone speechless and they didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, but even so, even if they closed their mouths, the contempt in their eyes would not go away.

At that time, Mrs. Fan was almost stabbed in the spine. Month after month, when the child was about to turn one year old, someone came to propose marriage. Of course, they were not from their village, but they had heard about this lady at least. name, come to find out.

Perhaps God favors beauties. Mrs. Fan recovered well after childbirth and was famous for her beauty. It was difficult for people to be unmoved. So, a year after her husband and mother-in-law died one after another, she appeared again. In the sedan chair, she took her son to marry in the town and never came back again. The rumors about her were also spread by word of mouth without distinguishing between true and false.

The butcher once worshiped Jiang Jiajun. The reason why Jiang Shunxiao knew so clearly was because at that time, he was deliberately allowed to have contact with him in handling affairs in the army.

He also did some things to comfort the widows of casualties.

And the butcher was one of the people he started to manage.

What Mrs. Fan did was not only spread in the same village, but also in the army. They, brothers who shared the same sorrow, knew about it. When they found out about it, everyone was strangely silent for a long time.

Finally, I don’t know who cried, and that emotion instantly infected everyone present. They all had abandoned their homes, or were newly married wives, or had just given birth to babies. It was difficult for them to reunite and enjoy their families. The atmosphere of mutual love is so great that if possible, no one would be willing to stay away from home, come to this dangerous area, risk their lives, and end up either dying on the battlefield or becoming a prisoner...
