Making money, taking exams, and raising a family in rural imperial examinations

Repairing a house is not something that can be done tomorrow.

Although there are construction craftsmen who specialize in house repairs in the town, what Lin Ze wants is a simple and elegant building with a modern style, and there are many places that need to be designed and planned by himself.

Therefore, the matter of building a house cannot be settled in a short while, and the food stalls have to wait for Hebian Village to send things over before they can start, at least a week.

At present, Jiang Rongniang's matter is more important.

Lin Sangui was happy to handle the re-employment, but Lin Ze felt that he should accompany Jiang Rongniang to visit her relatives, since Jiang Rongniang was his biological mother after all.

Visiting relatives is a must. In ancient times, people paid attention to returning to their roots and clan affiliation. Since Jiang Rongniang's many years of slavery were to be solved, she had to do a full set of things.

Marrying out with an innocent identity and marrying out as a ransomed servant of a mansion are completely two concepts.

This is also the reason why Duan Wensai put down his official duties and deliberately followed him back.

The original Jiang's family definitely couldn't go back to save their lives. How could such a ruthless and heartless mother's family dare to admit it?

Before coming here, Duan Wensai had sent someone to investigate, and selected a collateral blood relative of the Jiang family, a family called aunt by Jiang Rongniang according to seniority, as the object of relatives.

It doesn't matter if you don't have any relationship with relatives, it's just a title. This kind of thing can basically be done with a little money.

On the second day after arriving in Nanyang Town, Duan Wensai sent someone to Jiangjia Village to take care of matters. After confirming that there was no problem with visiting relatives, he took his men and horses to accompany Jiang Rongniang and Brother Jun back to Jiangjia Village in the morning of the third day. delay.

Lin Ze naturally followed, just as he didn't have to go to class in the morning.

In addition, their team followed another person, and that was Lin Xiaolian.

What Lin Xiaolian wanted to do with Jiangjia Village, in fact, Lin Ze could guess a little bit, probably because of the Chen family.

Although Jiangjia Village is called Jiangjia Village, Jiangjia Village is actually a village with mixed surnames like Heba Village, and Chen Shuju is actually from Jiangjia Village, the same village as Jiang Rongniang.

Although Chen was not good enough for Lin Xiaolian's daughter, she always favored her son, even for her son, almost ruining her daughter's life.

But no matter what, it was all her own birth, she was dragged by feces and piss, more or less there was a mother-daughter relationship, Lin Xiaolian complained, but hearing that her mother had a miserable life, she was not happy.

Knowing that Lin Ze and the others were going to Jiangjia Village, Lin Xiaolian immediately packed up her things and ran to the town, begging to come along and take this opportunity to see the situation of the Chen family.

Lin Ze just doesn't like Chen's role as a shit-stirring stick in the Lin family, and he doesn't care about other things. Lin Xiaolian is filial, so as long as he is careful, he will naturally not care too much.

People have feelings, so he can't stop people from caring about his own mother. If Lin Xiaolian really doesn't care about Chen's life or death just to please him, then he has to re-examine this little girl's character.

"Aze, my little sister is also very similar to your father..."

Jiang Rongniang didn't say much, she just said one thing, with a gentle smile and kind eyes.

Calling her a friendly little girl, she recognized Lin Xiaolian's existence, and did not feel any resentment against Chen Shuju because of her.

"Aunt Rong."

Li Xiaolian also called out a little bit happily and shyly.

Looking at Jiang Rongniang's gentle and kind appearance, he thought to himself, no wonder Dad has been thinking about his eldest brother's mother for many years.

Her mother, the Chen family, is not at the same level as others. If it weren't for the fact that Aunt Rong had no children for a few years, how could her mother have the chance to marry her father and enjoy the blessings for so many years.

But her mother didn't cherish it, she kept trying to die, and now she was retired to her mother's house, she is in her teens, and she doesn't know what's going on now, alas.

……

over there.

The villagers in Jiangjia Village heard that Jiang Rongniang was coming back to visit her relatives, and now they seemed to be doing very well, like a wife, and the whole village was blown up.

"Oh, have you heard that Jiang Rongniang is coming back to visit her relatives?"

"I've heard, I've heard that Rongniang is now the mother-in-law of the new county magistrate, and the county magistrate personally accompanied her back to visit her relatives! This time, the Jiang family is miserable. They sold Rongniang back then. It's a crime. ..."

"More than that, didn't Rongniang leave a son in the Lin family? What's his name, Lin Ze! Yes, it's Lin Ze. Not only is he a scholar, but he also opened a private school in the town. Those who save face are promising!"

"Yes, isn't it? This time, not only the Jiang family is miserable, but the Chen family will also regret to die. That girl Shuju is also very stupid. If the Lin family is such a good family, if they are more peaceful and virtuous, treat everyone in the family well." Child, you can still be retired when you are dozens of years old..."

"So, as a human being, you still have to pay attention to your conscience. Even if you are partial, you can't use dirty tricks. It's fine to harm other people's sons. Even your own daughter will not be spared. Shuju did it herself."

There is no entertainment in the countryside, so the gossip spreads very quickly in these ten miles and eight villages. Chen Shuju and Jiang Rongniang are from their own village, so everyone in Jiangjia Village knows about the Lin family's affairs very well.

The villagers talked a lot, and they were very curious, but the Jiang family and the Chen family who heard the news were terrified and regretful.

The Jiang family was the worst scared. The whole family stayed at home with frowning faces, regretting what they did in the first place.

Originally, sons were preferred to daughters, and it was normal to use daughters in exchange for dowry to supplement sons in the countryside. They abounded everywhere. It was not uncommon for their family to go too far.

But who would have thought that Jiang Rongniang was so lucky that she not only gave birth to a promising son, but also a promising younger brother who became the county magistrate's mother-in-law.

Now that Jiang Rongniang is returning to her hometown, if they care about it, they will be finished...

The Chen family was beating their chests with regret, resenting that Chen Shuju was too stupid, the Lin family couldn't live a good life, so they had to do it themselves.

Let's do this, and I'm not smart at all. Obviously, Lin Ze, a cheap son, can take good care of him, but now he offended a clean one, which made them lose their reputation.

As a result, the mother-in-law came back with a better future. With the relationship of the county magistrate, the Lin family would definitely make a fortune, but the Chen family was divorced and the in-law relationship was severed. The wealth of the Lin family was only half of the Chen family All gone.

They even have to support an old daughter who was divorced, which is really a loss of money and shame.

Jiang Rongniang went back to the village to visit her relatives, and the Jiang family and the Chen family were trembling.

The other villagers were only curious and happy. No matter what their relationship with Jiang Rongniang was, they were from Jiangjia Village.

As the family members selected by Duan Wensai, the family of Aunt Jiang's family is really a joy that fell from the sky.

I got the news yesterday that the whole family didn't do anything, just cleaning at home, buying meat and killing chickens, we must do our best to entertain people well, so as not to neglect.

"Let me tell you, this aunt Rong was my aunt when she was a child. You know that my eldest brother and sister-in-law are patriarchal. If it weren't for me, Rong Niang would have starved to death. I didn't stop it when I sold it, my elder brother and sister-in-law did evil, so what's wrong with the girl and the younger brother, they have the same prospects after raising them..."

It is an honor to be selected to visit relatives, and to become relatives with the county magistrate. Although it is just a name, there will basically not be much contact in the future.

But it was enough to make the old aunt of the Jiang family look radiant, and she couldn't hide her showing off when she talked to the neighbors. She was glad that she was a conscience.

Otherwise, there are so many relatives in the Jiang family who don't choose, why choose their family?This is the blessing of the shade left by the effort of raising a finger.

Jiangjia Village is a little further from the town. They set off in the morning, and the carriage drove slowly. Lin Ze and his party arrived around noon, just in time for lunch.

Jiang Rongniang from the original Jiang family didn't even mention it. She couldn't do revenge with her character, but she was chilled. The favor of birth and nurturing had been repaid many years ago, and the relationship was completely severed the moment she was sold.

In short, her rich or poor in the future has nothing to do with the original Jiang family, everyone is just strangers.

Burning incense to pay homage to the ancestors, having meals with the family, and having the relatives of the old lady of the Jiang family, Jiang Rongniang has a new natal family, and is no longer an orphan servant who has redeemed her body. Brother Jun's identity will naturally change quietly.

There are evidences for all traces and inquiries.

Lin Ze admired Duan Wensai's meticulous arrangements. It was really rare for an ancient man to go to such lengths for his husband just to give someone a clean name.

It is enough to see how his new younger brother is in Duan Wensai's heart.

In the future, as long as his elder brother works harder and raises the lintel of the Lin family, Brother Jun will be able to gain a firm foothold in Duan's mansion, and he will not fight for anything, and it will be no problem to have a child and live a peaceful life.

Because everything was arranged in advance, the atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious, and everything about visiting relatives went smoothly.

Lin Xiaolian didn't follow her to eat at Jiang's old aunt's place. When she arrived at the village, she got off the carriage and went to Chen's house.

She had followed Mrs. Chen when she returned to her mother before, and the place was very familiar, but Lin Ze was worried that something might happen to a girl, so he called the young man who accompanied her to follow her to avoid any accidents.

Lin Xiaolian felt warm in her heart. She never thought it would be good to have an older brother, but since the separation of the family, she thought more and more about her elder brother's care when she was a child, and the care she has now.

Every time I think of what my mother and my second brother did, I feel very ashamed.

"Brother, Xiao Lian knows how to measure, don't worry, I just want to see my mother, she does those things because she thinks too much about her second brother, so she always loses her mind..."

Lin Xiaolian is not very old, but her mentality is precocious and she can see clearly.

Lin Ze nodded. That woman Chen Shuju was indeed quite poisonous, but she couldn't deny her love for her son. Chen Shuju did it all for her son. From this point of view, the Chen family is hateful, pitiful, and pathetic.

****************************

Lin Xiaolian was anxious to visit Chen's family.

She guessed that her mother must be having a bad time now, who is her mother, and her grandfather's family is not much better, and whoever likes a daughter who is divorced, she is still an old daughter, shame on her.

Since her mother was divorced and returned to Jiangjia Village, she didn't come back to visit because of anger, and her second brother never came back. Without the support of her husband's family and children, her mother's life can be imagined...

The facts were indeed as Lin Xiaolian thought, during this period of time Chen's life can only be described as miserable.

In the few days when she was suspended and returned to the village, Jiang's family considered that she still had a son who was a scholar, and the husband's family was still alive without a son. Dare to treat harshly.

Chen Shuju herself is very confident. What is a man? A son is a woman's confidence and ultimate support. Her son is promising. As long as her son is still there, she will not worry about it for the rest of her life. Wait a few days for the second child to handle things smoothly. He will definitely take her back to Heba Village.

But what she never expected was that Lin Jianwen was unreliable at all!

Let alone whether you have the ability to support your mother, at least as a son, you have to take a look, and show your attitude to Jiangjia Village that people will not be treated harshly.

Chen Shuju's fate was all because of Lin Jianwen's son, but after the incident, Lin Jianwen didn't even talk about Jiangjiacun's stance to support his mother, he didn't even think about Chen Shuju's existence.

The husband's family abandoned her, and her son was unreliable. Looking at the situation, the Chen family still couldn't understand that the Chen family was now a burden that no one cared about.

The water thrown by the married daughter, the Chen family was not too kind at first, and they turned their faces and refused to recognize people. Although they were afraid of being scolded by the villagers and did not drive them out, Chen Shuju has basically become the Chen family from now on. Horses and bulls and punching bags.

When she was young, she didn't do much work when she was at home, but now she is suffering when she is old, and she is disgusted and beaten by her family all day long.

Chen Shuju, who has a strong personality, sheds tears every night. She can't figure out that she has fallen into this situation, and even more can't figure out that her son, whom she loves so much and loves so much, doesn't even look at her when she is in trouble.

Thinking of the days when she was a daughter-in-law in the Lin family, it was like a fairy life.

Even though Lin Sangui doesn't have her in his heart, the husband and wife for so many years have always obeyed her in everything. He has never shorted her for food and drink at home, and handed in all the money he earns honestly. She makes new clothes out of ruler cloth, and her parents-in-law listen to her even more.

In the Lin family, she is no different from Lafayette, and lives comfortably. How many other daughter-in-laws can have it?

Even Lin Ze, whom she had secretly dealt with, was actually very filial to her before being stiffened by her relationship. When she was a child, she gave her everything to eat and play first. When she grew up, she wrote calligraphy and paintings and sold them to make money. Buy her something to be filial to her first.

At that time, she was not unmoved, but she always felt that it was not her own, and no matter how good it was, it was not as good as the second child. The second child was her own, and she would really respect her in the future.

So she kept pulling things for the second child and fighting for things for the second child.

But the result, the result is that her second child who loves her the most doesn't even look at her after she is in trouble!

Thinking of this, Chen Shuju couldn't help crying, feeling extremely regretful.

The Chen family, who were chattering all day long, were also very angry, bullying and beating and scolding her unceremoniously, as if they beat her to death and saved a few mouthfuls of food.

"Cry, cry, cry, I know how to cry all day long, what did you do to cry now! What's the use of being an idiot, even the husband who is easy to control in the Lin family can't handle you? Look at Jiang Rongniang, who not only turns a man's heart Hold it tightly, the son and brother who gave birth are all promising, and you, you bastard, our Chen family has been implicated by you..."

"Useless things, lose money, don't grind the wheat, if you can't finish grinding, don't eat today!"

Not only did they marry the Lin family, but they also had an affair because of Chen Shuju. The Chen family hated this useless daughter to death.

When I was a girl, I couldn't get married because of my hot temper and small stomach, which made a lot of jokes in the family. I finally got married to the Lin family, and now I was sent home again, and I was given the name of 'jealous and vicious'. In the future, no one else would dare to marry the daughter of the Chen family, brother, can they not hate Chen Shuju?

Chen Shuju was so beaten and scolded by her natal family that she couldn't hold her head up, she felt resentful but didn't dare to speak out, otherwise she would offend her natal family and starve to death without the last bite of food.

Hearing the news about Jiang Rongniang, she felt jealous and afraid. Why is Jiang Rongniang's life so good? She can come back even after being sold, and she has become the county magistrate's mother-in-law. She has treated Lin Ze so badly these years, and Rongniang must Pack her to avenge her son.

"Woooo."

Thinking of the end she was going to face, Chen Shuju felt sad and regretted, she didn't want to die yet, she didn't live enough...

When Lin Xiaolian came to the Chen family.

What I saw was that Mrs. Chen was crying sadly and panting while working as a donkey in the yard. In a short period of time, the whole person seemed to be ten years older, with a haggard face, several rounds of weight loss, and dirty and dirty clothes. Broken, like a beggar in the town.

Not only that, but there were still many marks of beatings on his face and hands, and his previous swaggering appearance disappeared completely, and he timidly cried and worked, how miserable it was.

"Mom, how could they treat you like this!"

Lin Xiaolian was angry and sad.

Although she also hated the Chen family, she was her biological mother anyway, and she was the one who raised her up for good or bad treatment. Seeing the appearance of her biological mother, there are a few children who can really turn a blind eye.

Chen Shuju raised her head when she heard the voice, and when she saw Lin Xiaolian, she was stunned for a long time before bursting into a deafening cry,

"Wow, Xiaolian, you finally came to see your mother, she was almost tortured to death, where did your second brother, that heartless person, go, did he not care about his mother anymore, woo..."

What Chen is crying is sincere grievance and complaint.

Abandoned by the son he wholeheartedly defended, this kind of thing would be unacceptable to any parent, and he was heartbroken and sad.

The pain of many days broke out completely when I saw Lin Xiaolian. People who didn't know the truth would think that this is a poor and wronged person, but in fact, the neighbors around are used to hearing it. Everyone knows what Chen Shuju did. , no one sympathized.

Even the impatient neighbor threw a fruit core in and scolded, "It's so noisy, why are you crying, crying all day long will not touch the bad luck!"

If this kind of thing happened before, with Chen Shuju's character, she would definitely roll up her sleeves and rush over to fight.

But now... Chen Shuju didn't have that temper anymore, she flinched and quickly wiped away her tears, dragged Lin Xiaolian to a corner, and spoke in a low voice.

She didn't want to be so cowardly, but if she dared to go up and quarrel, and the neighbors later complained to the Chen family, she would be beaten and scolded again.

"Little Lian, why are you here today? Could it be that your father forgave your mother and asked you to pick me up..."

After venting her emotions, Chen Shuju wiped away her snot and tears, and began to care about Lin Xiaolian's arrival.

She misses the life of the Lin family very much now. Her natal family is so worthless. They treat her like a cow and a horse all day long. The natal family can also do the same thing that the Jiang family sold their daughter again, and she can't bear it these days.

She wanted to go back to the Lin family, at least the Lin family would not beat her, Lin Sangui was much softer than her natal family.

But no matter how soft-hearted a person is, there is a limit. With all the things she did, the Lin family finally divorced her, so how could they pick her up again.

"Mother, don't even think about going back. Big brother won't agree, and father won't forgive you. What's more, now that Aunt Rong is back, what are you going to do with me? Are you going to continue to make trouble? Don't think too much about it." Oh, no matter how soft-hearted Dad is, there is a limit, even I won't forgive you, hmph..."

Didn't Lin Xiaolian understand her mother's thoughts, and she shattered her hope with a single unkind word.

Chen Shuju wanted to cry when she heard it, regretting it so much,

"Didn't my mother know that I was wrong? At the beginning, my mother was deceived by the lard. Your wedding mother really didn't know that the family was a liar. My mother wanted to exchange you for a dowry, but the amount of dowry is enough to prove that the husband's family environment is good. , Mother also wants you to have a good time, woo woo."

"If I live well, I can always support my second brother, right? Mother, I am your daughter. I don't know who you are? If you weren't my own mother, I wouldn't come to see you today. If you do this again, I will I really ignore you..."

Lin Xiaolian mercilessly revealed the story.

Being disgusted by her daughter like this, Chen Shuju was speechless, crying, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

She did have this kind of thought at the beginning, but isn't it normal in the village to favor boys over girls? You can only count on your son if you throw the brazier to die.

Thinking of her son, Chen Shuju began to cry again, holding on to her last hope, and asked self-deception,

"Where's your second brother? Why doesn't he see anyone? Why doesn't he come after you've come to see me? Has he been restrained by something?"

"Second brother is not caught up in the matter, he just doesn't want to come to see you, he is a talented man, even if he doesn't take the exam, his fame is still there, your existence is a stain on his face."

Lin Xiaolian was upset,

"He married a new daughter-in-law, the sister of his creditor. She is ugly and fierce, but her natal family is rich. As long as he is honest and obedient, he will definitely live a better life than your mother. Mother, you might as well expect a sow to go to the house if you expect him. Where's the tree..."

"This person who kills thousands of swords has no conscience. It's in vain that my mother loves him so much since she was a child. He treats me like this, woo woo."

Chen Shuju was completely desperate. Her son didn't care about her, and her husband's family was gone. Could it be that she was really going to stay in her mother's house and be tortured to death? Why did she live like this?

No, she still has a daughter, and Xiao Lian came to see her, but her daughter was still thinking about her.

Chen Shuju seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw, and hurriedly begged,

"Xiao Lian, it's all mother's fault. It's mother who is sorry for you, but she didn't treat you badly after ignoring you all these years. She also left half of the food and drink for you. Seeing that mother worked so hard to give you the rest , you go back and tell your father, please help your mother to intercede, mother promises, you will be honest in the future, your grandpa, grandma and uncle are really worthless, they are about to beat mother to death, mother is suffering..."

Now she really knew that she was wrong, and she was going to live a good life, but she regretted it so much that her intestines were green.

Looking at her mother's appearance, Lin Xiaolian felt uncomfortable, but her mother's request was simply impossible, and the current pity was all self-inflicted.

Moreover, her mother is a person who cares about eating but not beating, so she can't treat her mother well in the way of ordinary people, otherwise her mother will make more progress.

Wanting to go back to the Lin family, her mother was just thinking about the good days of being served by others. Where did she know she was wrong, it was absolutely impossible, it was simply the sun coming out from the west.

"Mother, you'd better give up the idea of ​​going back. You don't know how to go when you stay at Uncle's house. We farmers have hands and feet and still starve to death? You work as cattle and horses for Uncle's house, why not?" How about opening an acre of land to support yourself?"

"Don't worry, no matter what you say, you are my own mother. I won't really ignore you, but you also know that my girl's ability is only a little bit, so if you don't have enough, go to the second brother and ask for it. He is yours." You can't ignore your own son, if he doesn't come to see you, go to him, mother, you have done so many things for him, he should support you, anyway, mother, you should think about it yourself."

After speaking, she stuffed the bundle containing grain and copper coins into Chen Shuju's hands, and Lin Xiaolian left.

The eldest brother said that one should be worthy of one's own conscience. She really resented her mother, but she couldn't bear to see people suffer. She should be filial, and she didn't care about anything else.

Anyway, Xiaoqiang's character, whose mother can't beat her to death, may live better without relying on her support. Her mother has been pampered too much and has too many good days.

"..."

Looking at the back of her daughter going away, Chen Shuju stood there holding her things and wiping tears, feeling uncomfortable.

She never thought that the one who was still thinking about her in the end was her neglected daughter, the heartless second child, why did she see clearly now that she was unreliable, woo woo.

Lin Xiaolian was anxious to visit Chen's family.

She guessed that her mother must be having a bad time now, who is her mother, and her grandfather's family is not much better, and whoever likes a daughter who is divorced, she is still an old daughter, shame on her.

As long as her son is still there, she will not worry about it for the rest of her life. Wait a few days for the second child to handle things smoothly. He will definitely take her back to Heba Village.

But what she never expected was that Lin Jianwen was unreliable at all!

The pain of many days broke out completely when I saw Lin Xiaolian. People who didn't know the truth would think that this is a poor and wronged person, but in fact, the neighbors around are used to hearing it. Everyone knows what Chen Shuju did. , no one sympathized.

Even the impatient neighbor threw a fruit core in and scolded, "It's so noisy, why are you crying, crying all day long will not touch the bad luck!"

If this kind of thing happened before, with Chen Shuju's character, she would definitely roll up her sleeves and rush over to fight.

But now... Chen Shuju didn't have that temper anymore, she flinched and quickly wiped away her tears, dragged Lin Xiaolian to a corner, and spoke in a low voice.

She didn't want to be so cowardly, but if she dared to go up and quarrel, and the neighbors later complained to the Chen family, she would be beaten and scolded again.

"Little Lian, why are you here today? Could it be that your father forgave your mother and asked you to pick me up..."

After venting her emotions, Chen Shuju wiped away her snot and tears, and began to care about Lin Xiaolian's arrival.

She misses the life of the Lin family very much now. Her natal family is so worthless. They treat her like a cow and a horse all day long. The natal family can also do the same thing that the Jiang family sold their daughter again, and she can't bear it these days.

She wanted to go back to the Lin family, at least the Lin family would not beat her, Lin Sangui was much softer than her natal family.

But no matter how soft-hearted a person is, there is a limit. With all the things she did, the Lin family finally divorced her, so how could they pick her up again.

"Mother, don't even think about going back. Big brother won't agree, and father won't forgive you. What's more, now that Aunt Rong is back, what are you going to do with me? Are you going to continue to make trouble? Don't think too much about it." Oh, no matter how soft-hearted Dad is, there is a limit, even I won't forgive you, hmph..."

Didn't Lin Xiaolian understand her mother's thoughts, and she shattered her hope with a single unkind word.

Chen Shuju wanted to cry when she heard it, regretting it so much,

"Didn't my mother know that I was wrong? At the beginning, my mother was deceived by the lard. Your wedding mother really didn't know that the family was a liar. My mother wanted to exchange you for a dowry, but the amount of dowry is enough to prove that the husband's family environment is good. , Mother also wants you to have a good time, woo woo."

"If I live well, I can always support my second brother, right? Mother, I am your daughter. I don't know who you are? If you weren't my own mother, I wouldn't come to see you today. If you do this again, I will I really ignore you..."

Lin Xiaolian mercilessly revealed the story.

Being disgusted by her daughter like this, Chen Shuju was speechless, crying, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

She did have this kind of thought at the beginning, but isn't it normal in the village to favor boys over girls? You can only count on your son if you throw the brazier to die.

Thinking of her son, Chen Shuju began to cry again, holding on to her last hope, and asked self-deception,

"Where's your second brother? Why doesn't he see anyone? Why doesn't he come after you've come to see me? Has he been restrained by something?"

"Second brother is not caught up in the matter, he just doesn't want to come to see you, he is a talented man, even if he doesn't take the exam, his fame is still there, your existence is a stain on his face."

Lin Xiaolian was upset,

"He married a new daughter-in-law, the sister of his creditor. She is ugly and fierce, but her natal family is rich. As long as he is honest and obedient, he will definitely live a better life than your mother. Mother, you might as well expect a sow to go to the house if you expect him. Where's the tree..."

"This person who kills thousands of swords has no conscience. It's in vain that my mother loves him so much since she was a child. He treats me like this, woo woo."

Chen Shuju was completely desperate. Her son didn't care about her, and her husband's family was gone. Could it be that she was really going to stay in her mother's house and be tortured to death? Why did she live like this?

No, she still has a daughter, and Xiao Lian came to see her, but her daughter was still thinking about her.

Chen Shuju seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw, and hurriedly begged,

"Xiao Lian, it's all mother's fault. It's mother who is sorry for you, but she didn't treat you badly after ignoring you all these years. She also left half of the food and drink for you. Seeing that mother worked so hard to give you the rest , you go back and tell your father, please help your mother to intercede, mother promises, you will be old and old in the future
