Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 92
Xianglai nodded and said: "Well, in the future, I will inevitably trouble my aunt."

Mrs. Zhang went out and returned to the east courtyard.

Xianglai walked to the kang to see if there was any pain on her mother's face. When she was looking, she saw that her mother slowly opened her eyes. Although her eyes were dull, there was no sign of sleepiness.

Xianglai was startled, and said: "Mother, you, you haven't slept yet?"

Xiang Lai Niang didn't want to lie to her daughter anymore, she said: "Well, I didn't sleep, I was awake all the time."

By saying this she was acknowledging that she had heard all that was said.

Xianglai couldn't bear it anymore, tears gushed out, and said while crying: "Mother, you are fine, you will be fine!"

Xianglai Niang struggled to raise her hand to wipe her daughter's tears, and said: "Don't say silly things, the doctor said that mother can't do it... In the past, mother lied to you, and now you are lying to mother again."

Xianglai leaned on the edge of the kang and hugged her mother tightly, and said: "No, mother, you will be fine, and I will take you to live a good life. I want you to enjoy happiness and find a large group of people to serve you and give You find a lot of delicious and fun things!"

Xianglai Niang smiled with difficulty, and said: "Silly girl, my mother is not a child, so you don't need to coax her like that... I have enjoyed all the blessings that my mother should have enjoyed, but, I just don't worry about you, my daughter is not married yet. I haven't found anyone who loves her..."

"Mom, you think about me for everything, why don't you think about yourself, and don't tell me when you're sick, do you want your daughter to feel guilty for the rest of her life..."

As she was talking here, Xiang Lai Niang's eyes turned to the suitcase in the corner, she pointed there, and said, "Xiang'er, go and find the bracelet..."

Xianglai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that her mother seemed to have ordered a bracelet for herself in the past.

She hurriedly got up and went over, rummaged through the suitcase, found the bracelet from the bottom of the suitcase, took it and put it in the mother's hand, and said, "Here it is!"

Xianglai Niang took the bracelet and looked at it again and again, with tears in her dry eyes, she said: "Your father gave it to me. Back then he put it on for me with his own hands and said he would marry me into the house... but he didn't want to marry me." ...then the people disappeared!"

Seeing that her mother became more emotional as she talked, Xianglai hurriedly said: "Mother, don't talk about it. I have never forgotten my father's hatred. I went to Songning to ask Chen Changzhi for money a few days ago. He promised to find out for me. The real murderer avenges father!"

Now that things are up to now, she can only say good things, and she can't let her mother think about it until she dies.

After listening to her daughter's words, Xianglai swallowed the second part of the sentence, took Xianglai's hand, and said, "Come on, put it on..."

Xiang Lai took it and put it on her wrist.

Xianglai Niang looked at her daughter one after another, as if she could never get enough of it, and said: "Just like my mother back then, you have to keep this bracelet and pass it on to your children and grandchildren in the future. You can't sell it no matter what... "

"Well, don't sell it, definitely don't sell it!"

The two women were talking, the door was opened again, and the second aunt walked in with Tianlai and another little girl.

The second aunt didn't know what happened at home, she saw Xianglai Niang lying on the kang, and Xianglai hugged her like tears, and asked in a daze: "Sister, is this ours?"

Xianglai just shed tears and didn't speak, Xianglai's mother raised her head with difficulty and said, "My sister is back!"

The second aunt was about to ask again, when Guifang poked her head out of the kitchen to wink at her, the second aunt walked over and asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Gui Fang whispered: "Second Aunt is dying. Mr. Cao and Mr. Han from Songning both said that it will be a few days."

The second aunt stood there in a daze, and murmured: "Why? My sister was fine when I left, why don't you just say no?!"

Guifang said in a low voice: "Doctor Han said that he has a tumor on his liver. It's not a day or two. The second aunt knew about it a long time ago, so she just resisted telling it..."

The second aunt couldn't bear it when she heard it, she burst into tears, ran back to the house a few steps, hugged Xianglai Niang with Xianglai and said: "Sister, why are you like this! It's all my fault, let you To suffer this..."

Tianlai still didn't know what happened, he was startled by his mother's sudden action, and stood at the door with the little girl, staring blankly.

Hearing their return, Xu Che came out of the hut, pulled Tianlai in, and quietly told him the truth.

Tianlai just held a funeral for his grandma with his mother. He didn't want to go home and heard that his aunt was dying. He grew up with his aunt and treated Xianglai's mother as his own mother. After hearing this, he also cried and ran over. Cry together with his mother.

The little girl that Second Concubine brought was her natal niece, named Li Huiling. Second Concubine brought her to live in Shen's house several times. Guifang recognized her after a few glances, and brought her into the house when she saw her standing at the door. Let her find a place to stay by herself.

Seeing that Tianlai and Niang were crying sadly around her, Xianglai Niang gently patted Second Aunt on the shoulder, and said, "Sister, don't cry, sister is fine, people...everyone has this day, sister wants to thank you, Taking care of me for so many years, without you and Wanlu, Xianglai and I would not be able to live today..."

Xianglai was only so sad that she didn't realize what her mother said, she was wiping her tears there, when her mother took her hand again, and said: "Xiang'er, after mother leaves, you must honor your second aunt well and take her away. Like a mother! Tianlai, Tianlai will always be your brother!"

Xianglai held her hand tightly and said, "Mother, I know, I know! I'll take care of them even if you don't tell me!"

At this time, Guifang finally boiled the poppy fruit into juice, and there was only a small sticky piece on the bottom of a copper bowl.

She brought it carefully and said, "Xianglai, do you think so? Is it too little?"

Although Xianglai didn't know the exact amount of this thing to use, but with such an overbearing effect, he definitely couldn't eat all of it, so he said: "A lot, a lot, a little bit is enough."

As he spoke, he took the small spoon from Guifang's hand, picked up a little on the bottom of the bowl, and said, "Mother, I've taken the medicine."

Xianglai Niang said: "If you don't eat it, it's useless."

Xianglai said: "It will help you relieve the pain."

Xiang Lai Niang stopped talking, this tormenting disease has been on her for two years, only she knows how painful it is.

The second aunt helped Xianglai's mother, and Xianglai carefully put the medicine into her mouth, and then gave her two sips of water.

After taking the medicine for a while, Xiang Lai Niang's energy was obviously much better, and her speech was stronger than before. She even talked to Second Aunt about her childhood. At that time, her family was good and her family loved her. Carefree.

Everyone who is about to die will remember the past, but these things in Xianglai's ears pierce her heart like a sharp sword. How cruel is the mother's happiness when she was young compared with the later poverty!Has she never been happier since then?
She couldn't bear it anymore, let go of her mother and ran outside, hid in the gable wall and slapped the wall hard, hating herself for being so useless, for not being able to help her mother to heal her illness earlier, for not being able to come earlier, making this poor Women enjoy a little more blessing.
