Seeing that the east wind returns, the struggle for teaching is the most complicated

reason.Although it is a division, the old lady has been in charge of it for so many years, and the other two rooms have not been allowed to intervene.The two aunts are also from a wealthy family, so they will definitely not be petty and count the ancestral property under their names every day. What they manage are only the shops and farms that the two uncles later set up, so they have nothing to do with us.Taking a step back, even if the two uncles have managed the ancestral property that has been allocated to them over the years, since they have worked hard and managed it well, can we still fight for it if we have not put in our efforts?For example, if our family's business today is owned by the daughter-in-law for five or six years, and the second house of the long house says the profit of the store is high, the wife thinks it is fair to re-separate the family? "

Mother He shook her head: "Of course not, it's too bullying." After she figured this out, her heart brightened and she saw a smiling face.

Chu Heng said again: "Besides, madam, think about it, the eldest house has two sons and three daughters; the second house has five sons and one daughter. We only have the husband in this house. The third house has the same amount of ancestral property." Well, although the two uncles have also managed the family property, they only have a few more incomes, and they cannot be turned over several times more than the ancestral property. In the future, the two houses will also be separated, and the dowry given by the girl will be removed. The eight are also grandchildren. In the first generation, the husband gets much more than the cousins. Who is it? If the family hadn't been separated early, and the grandsons had grown up and then divided, would the sisters-in-law be convinced? It’s not about going to the old lady to cry. They are all people who have given birth to great-grandchildren. They cry a lot, and the old lady is not good, but everyone’s affection, and she only gives her husband a generous share. Therefore, the early separation is the best for the third room. It's good, Madam don't need to be confused. Last time when the second and fifth cousins ​​came to our house, they said inside and out that we had more family property, but because it was already divided, although they felt that they were at a disadvantage, they didn't care about it. I don't dare to make it too clear. My wife thinks, isn't it because the old lady loves the wife and the husband to have such a result?"

Mother He really understood this time, and she cheered up: "You still make it clear. Well, I also think that the old lady has always been very kind to me and Honger all these years. How can I be said to have such a heart?" , or because of the impurity of the six sense organs in the heart.”

Chu Heng smiled and said: "I can't blame my wife for this. It's not surprising that Sister Cao doesn't fall for the fate of the old lady. It's not surprising that she has some petty concerns. But you and the old lady have been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for so many years. Since your father-in-law is gone, your grandmother has protected you from all wind and rain. Now, if you suspect the old lady after a few words for Sister Cao, wouldn't it be chilling?"

He's mother was so remorseful, and as soon as her daughter-in-law left, she sincerely sat down to the Guanyin statue to read scriptures and repent.It took a few hours to remember that he forgot to confess in the end, those words that questioned the old lady were not said by Cao Jinxiu.

February [-]th is the [-]th birthday of Chu Heng's grandfather, Mrs. Cheng.Mrs. Cheng was an official to the third-rank salt transport envoy. Although she has been an official for many years, her four sons and three sons-in-law are all officials, so this birthday banquet is held very grandly.Although He Hongwen only had a ninth-rank crown belt, he was not high or low among these grandchildren, but Mrs. Cheng liked this grandson-in-law who gave birth to a sincere face, and asked him to sit beside him and talk to him about longevity and health. Fazi, took him to drink several glasses of wine.

He Hongwen didn't drink alcohol, and there were so many people in the flower hall, he felt a little dizzy, so he apologized to Mrs. Cheng, and went out of the hall to change clothes.The weather was still quite cold at this time, and the servant of the Cheng family brought up the cloak with a winking look. He Hongwen put it on, so he didn't need the servant to follow him, and walked in the courtyard by himself, drinking away.

The Cheng family's family is well-off, and the mansion has a sense of Jiangnan gardens changing with each step.He looked at Wanmei all the way, and walked away without knowing it. Unexpectedly, a woman's voice came, and he realized that he had reached the backyard, so he turned around and went back.Suddenly someone shouted:

"Sister Heng, you...you listen to me again!"

The sound was quite close, just behind Huashi.He Hongwen didn't want to run into any trouble, so he hurried up his pace.After walking a few steps, I realized: Sister Heng?Is that man talking to Chu Heng?He couldn't help but pause, but hesitated: Standing here and eavesdropping on others, even if it's his own wife, is always bad, right?Even though I thought so, my feet seemed to be stuck to the ground, and I couldn't step out any more.

"Seventh Cousin," the voice was indeed Chu Heng's, "Qi'er admits she's born, I'm afraid she's making a fuss and wants to find me right now. Cousin... take care of yourself."

"Sister Heng!" The man shouted anxiously, and then heard Chu Heng's voice: "Cousin, don't let go! Now it's no better than when I was a child... Xiangyi!" Yee agrees from afar.

"Sister Heng...I...I can't forget you!" The man's voice was almost crying.He Hongwen's heart was beating rapidly, but he didn't hear Chu Heng's voice for a long time. He Hongwen almost wanted to go out to see what they were doing, but just as he was impatient, Chu Heng spoke.

"Cousin, do you know that there is a concubine in my family, who is my husband's cousin." Her voice was calm, and she couldn't hear any emotion.

"I heard from my mother... I heard that the old lady of the He family is very partial and protective, and my brother-in-law also... You have suffered a lot, right?" The man became excited, "That He guy is such a jerk! He treated you like this!"

"He is not bad to me." Chu Heng's voice was calm, but He Hongwen's heart was churning: Is it just not bad?Although I didn't pay much attention to her feelings before, I still thought she was affectionate... I just heard Chu Heng continue to say: "He is a simple person, he can't accommodate two people in his heart, and if he pretends to be someone else, he can't pretend to be me; If you pretend to be me, you won't be able to pretend to be his cousin."

When He Hongwen heard "If you pretend to be someone else, you can't pretend to be me", his heart jumped a few times, and he unconsciously thought of Minglan; after hearing the last sentence, he couldn't understand what she was going to say again.

Chu Heng continued: "His cousin said she was a concubine, but in fact he didn't take a second look. But even so, I still feel very uncomfortable. When I look at him, I always think of the things his cousin told me when they were young. How intimacy, how to be good, felt like a thorn in my heart, unspeakable grievance." After she finished speaking, her voice choked up.He Hongwen's heart twitched, although he also knew that she was jealous of Cao Jinxiu, but she had never said such a thing to him.

The man said softly: "That's natural, it's the same for everyone."

Chu Heng said: "Yeah, it's the same for everyone. So cousin, you forget about your childhood and treat your cousin well—you listen to me." She interrupted the man who was anxious to say "I didn't know how difficult it is to be a daughter-in-law in someone else's house until I was married. No matter how good a mother-in-law is, she is not a mother who can be pampered and act like a baby, not to mention she has a niece who is a direct relative. My heart is wrong; although your brother-in-law never treated me wrongly, he still can't know what he wants. Even if I have a big grievance, he will not disobey his mother for me; The old servant of the He family watched me, a newcomer, behave coldly. The better one flattered me in the face and talked about it behind my back, and the worse one dared to take Joe out of the eyes of the old lady. I wanted to be strong, so I gritted my teeth and swallowed it." She breathed a sigh of relief, "But I don't regret it. I married him, and I will spend my whole life with him with my sincerity. I always say to myself, there will always be One day, he will regard me as his closest person... But, the process of waiting for this day is really uncomfortable, and I sometimes ask myself, will I go crazy before that day. "

Both men listened quietly.Chu Heng paused for a while, and continued after he calmed down a bit, "I think my cousin's situation is not as good as mine. Although my cousin doesn't have a cousin who is an eyesore, but there is one in my heart, I'm afraid it will be worse. I don't want to be the thorn in my cousin's heart. A man can take a concubine if his marriage fails, and he can go out to have fun. A woman's heart is extremely bitter, but she still can only guard her husband and survive this life. So cousin, You must treat your cousin sister-in-law better, just for me."

The man took a while to say bitterly: "You have said that, what else do I have to say?"

Chu Heng changed his cheerful voice, but he couldn't hide the dryness of his voice after crying, "My cousin is really a sensible person, and he has always been willing to listen to my persuasion. I went to see my third cousin, and I have been out for so long. I'm going back now. Cousin Seven, take care."

"You too..." The man spat out two words reluctantly, "...Take care."

The sound of Chu Heng's footsteps soon disappeared, but the man stood there for a long time, presumably keeping his eyes on her.Finally, he sighed, walked around Huashi, and walked towards He Hongwen.He Hongwen hurried to avoid it, only to see a young man in auspicious clothes with his head down, walking slowly towards the birthday hall.He had met this man several times during the ceremonies with the young masters of the Cheng family, but there were more than a dozen grandchildren in the Cheng family, and he did not remember his name. Since Chu Heng called him "Seventh Cousin", he thought It was the seventh young master of the Cheng family.

It turns out that Chu Heng also had such a past...

He Hongwen didn't know why his heart was heavy, he couldn't be happy no matter what, and even felt a little angry: So before him, she still had a close man!

He feels betrayed by his wife.He had always wishful thinking that her emotional experience was so pure and transparent that he was the only man with a different surname.But looking back, how is it possible? She was born in a scholarly family, and she has several close relatives in the capital; she has such a lively and well-behaved character, and she looks good...

But, how could she keep it so tight?If he hadn't bumped into it by accident, I'm afraid he would never know.She must have a good relationship with that cousin, that's why she put
