The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 119

Bo Ming thought that Yingniang was still grieving for the third aunt's death, so he held her trembling hand and said softly: "Third aunt lived to be over 40 years old, and it's not too early to die, so don't be too sad. "

Qing'er suddenly said sadly: "Everyone says that a woman is blessed if she can live to be 40 years old. I am sixteen now, and I don't know how I got here in a chaotic way. Running out."

Nian'er was eating, and when he heard his younger sister say this, he put down his chopsticks and reasoned with her, "If you can live to be 40 years old, most of them will have grandchildren. Enjoy it. Even if you die right now, you have no regrets. Since you don’t think you have enough years left, you should hurry up and get married. A few more years of love from your husband is better than being here all day suffering from lovesickness There are many good men in this world, and there must be many people who are willing to love you, so don't waste your good time."

Qing'er glanced at him, her nose sore, "You said it lightly, if the two of you are not in love with me, no matter how much they are willing to love me, it will be a pain for me. Also, why don't you Marry a woman back? How old are you, and you still have the heart to talk about me. "

Nian'er retorted: "This is the difference between a man and a woman. To me, marrying a woman and going home is suffering. Any relationship between a man and a woman is something that is tiring and destructive."

Yingniang is recovering now, feeling better, she stared at Nian'er, "You have never experienced the love between men and women, how do you know that it is a tiring and damaging thing? When you have a girl you like, You wouldn't say that."

Nian'er smiled at his mother, "Oh, I know, it's a blessing for father to marry mother, not a sin."

Bo Ming coughed, "You brat, you dare to laugh at your parents!"

Ying Niang suddenly said very solemnly: "Nian'er, when you have time, take Qing'er to Zhuang County to find Gu Xing and have a good time. Life is short, no matter whether they can get together or not, let Qing'er see him more .Maybe after seeing a lot, Gu Xing is no longer bound by the secular family concept. And you, when you have someone you like, tell your parents quickly and marry you back early. Otherwise, you will miss her when she gets married. Once, you will regret it for a lifetime.”

It was the first time that Nian'er and Qing'er saw their mother talking about their relationship so seriously, they both looked at Yingniang and kept silent.

After a while, Nian'er nodded and said, "Well, I'll take Qing'er there tomorrow."

Qing'er's cheeks were slightly red, and she buried her head in her meal. Thinking of going to see Gu Xing, she was a little nervous, a little excited, but also a little sad, which was very complicated.

Bo Ming knew that Yingniang couldn't bear to see Qing'er and suffered from lovesickness all the time. If Gu Xing married another woman, Qing'er might not be able to let go of it for the rest of her life.Yingniang asked Qing'er to meet Gu Xing, which was really against the rules. After all, Qing'er was a woman, and she shouldn't have gone out to meet men.

But for the sake of Qing'er's happiness, she can't worry about so much.Birming would not say anything to stop her. Compared with being laughed at by people, the happiness of her daughter's life is the most important thing.

In fact, these days, Yingniang did not find a way to match Gu Xing and Qing'er, it is indeed because of the customs here, because no woman takes the initiative to pursue a man, and it is still in the wrong situation.If there is, it will definitely be ridiculed.

But now, Kong Xuan told her that her pulse was disordered, and her essence, qi, and spirit were too weak to be replenished, which meant that she was already terminally ill and would not survive this year.

In fact, Kong Xuan didn't need to say anything, she probably knew that she would not live for long.The average life expectancy of ancient people was inherently short. Although some people could live to be eighty or ninety years old, or even a hundred years old, most of them passed away between the ages of thirty to fifty.

Now she doesn't have much time left, she wants to see Qing'er marry the man she loves before she leaves, and she also hopes to see Nian'er marry the woman she likes, otherwise she will leave very uneasy .

With less than a year left, can this pair of children really enter the bridal chamber with the person she likes under her nose?She was very worried.

Wan Wan never interjected, she knew that she was a child and could not intervene in the words of adults.But she also understood, knowing that they were talking about the relationship between men and women.Although she is young, she is also precocious.

After hearing all this, she suddenly realized that her feelings for brother Yun were the feelings of a man and a woman, just like sister Qing'er's love for elder brother Gu.Parents kept her because they wanted her to marry Brother Yun in the future?It must be so.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help being shy, and buried her head in eating like Qing'er, feeling sweet in her heart.

Yingniang looked at her two children, then at Houhou, and finally her eyes fell on Bo Ming.She glanced at Birming faintly, and said simply, "Let's eat."

Regarding Birming, Yingniang was completely helpless.He may still be decades old, she doesn't know how to arrange for him, and there are some things that she can't arrange.

Fortunately, she has always been a cheerful person, and she will not feel sad every day because she knows that she will not live long. She plans to live every day well, just like before, laugh when she should laugh, cry when she should cry, everything Let nature take its course.

After dinner, Bo Ming wanted to go out for a walk with her to digest food, "You always say that if you take a walk after dinner, you can live 99 years, but we have never walked after dinner."

Ying Niang sighed: "Isn't it because everyone doesn't have this habit, it's just the two of us walking around, and others treat it as weird."

"Now don't worry about what others say, my master has already said, you need to exercise more."

Yingniang nodded obediently, "Okay, let's go, Yoyowan."

The two of them walked one after the other, and when they passed by the door of Yinyue's house, they saw Shuchang and Yinyue sitting in the yard with sad faces.

Although these years, they often ask their elder brothers and sisters what is the matter, but Yingniang usually does not interfere with some trivial matters in their family.

Yingniang and Boming thought they were also sad about the matter of the third aunt, so they didn't go in to ask the reason, but continued walking, but they were stopped by Yinyue unexpectedly.

"Brother, sister-in-law, where are you going?" Yinyue got up and asked at the gate of the courtyard.

"Your sister-in-law is feeling unwell. My master said she needs to exercise more, but it's not a serious problem. You don't need to worry, we're just walking around."

Bo Ming learned the word yo-wan from Yingniang. Although Yinyue has never heard of this word before, she probably knows what it means. "Come to my house and sit down first. Shuchang and I are worrying about something and want to hear what you think."

Yingniang and Boming felt that this matter should not be a trivial matter, so they entered the courtyard and sat down, waiting for Yinyue to speak.

But Yinyue didn't speak for a long time, she looked at Shuchang, and lowered her brows in embarrassment, as if wronged and helpless.

"What's the matter?" Yingniang asked, frowning.She, a dying person, is still living a good life, what can they do to make things difficult for them?

In the end, it was Shuchang who spoke first, and he said unhappily: "I don't know what gossips Yinyue has listened to, insisting on letting me take a concubine, don't you think she is bewitched?"

Yinyue raised her head, her eyes were red, "Take it as my pleasure, am I not thinking of you, the incense of the Xue family? We only have three daughters, Xiaoyu and Xiaohui are married and have children, Xiu My son is almost 12 years old, and he is not far away from getting married. At that time, we will be the only old couple left in the family. The third uncle's family has two daughters, but there is only one son, Fuzi. Look at their family, the third aunt If you leave, it will appear that the population is withered. Anyway, Fuzi is also a person who gave birth to a son. People say that his family is not prosperous enough, and that it may not be broken at any generation. But in my family, I have not had children for so many years. It will be even more impossible to give birth in the future. I am already in my thirties, and the loess is almost buried up to my neck. Thinking that this vein will be broken in my hands, I feel very uncomfortable, so I thought about asking you to accept it. The little one came in, and after giving birth to a son, I will take care of him, and the child must call me mother. After this, after our family continues, you are happy, can't I feel more at ease?"

Yingniang was a little dazed, Yinyue used to be such a narrow-minded person, the people hired by the family were all old women.When she was only in her 30s, she began to make arrangements for her own death, and wanted to plan for the next generation.

Yingniang was depressed for a while, and asked: "Before you didn't dare to buy a girl to come in, wasn't it because you were afraid that Shuchang would take a concubine? Today you came to encourage him to take a concubine, just for the sake of delaying future generations and continuing the incense?"

Yinyue wiped away her tears, "I used to think that I could still have a son, but now I know it's hopeless."

She put the wet handkerchief in her palm and squeezed it again and again, "Everywhere in the family is good now, except that I don't have a son. Because of this, I feel that someone is laughing at me behind my back wherever I go, so I can't lift my head up. .I don't want to mention the incense thing, but everyone takes it seriously, as if I've made a huge mistake."

Yingniang felt that she was a bit disappointing, and she was not as aggressive as she used to be. "You can't live a good life, so why bother yourself? That's all because of your own thinking. Why is the matter of incense so important? Others Love to gossip, that's other people's business, don't our family have been gossiping for so many years, why should you take this to heart? As long as you are doing well, what good is it to you if the incense burns? Shuchang doesn't care, but you are still rushing to ask him to take a concubine, aren't you insulting yourself?"

Yinyue pouted and said: "Shuchang just said he doesn't care to save my face, who knows what he thinks!"
