Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Oh! What a sin! What a sin!" Grandmother Jia shouted, knocking on the edge of the bed.

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you stop him?"

"Why did she hang herself?" Mrs. Xing asked with her eyes wide open.

"She heard that she was asked to cancel the engagement, so..." the maid who reported the news replied.

"Let her hang herself, what's wrong with that? Has she learned to use this to threaten others?" Mrs. Wang said in a bad tone.

"Yuanyang, take my walking stick, change your clothes, and I will go and ask them myself," Grandmother Jia ordered.

"Grandma, how is your health?" Yuanyang felt a little sorry for the old lady.

There is no moment of peace.

Grandmother Jia said sadly,

"It's okay, I can still struggle!"

After saying this, she looked at her two daughters-in-law who were like fighting cocks.

"This home...ah..." Grandmother Jia shook her head and let Yuanyang help her change clothes.

I don't feel at ease even if I leave!

……

"Second sister! Why are you so confused?"

"If anything happens to you, who do you think will feel sorry for you?" Jia Tanchun squatted in front of Yingchun.

With tears in my eyes,

My heart was filled with sadness, and it all dispersed, immediately.

Baoyu read all day and ignored everyone.

Sister Bao, thinking of Xue Baochai...Tanchun smiled bitterly, smart people, run fast!

Xichun eats vegetarian food and chants Buddhist scriptures all day long.

It's so hard to find Yingchun to chat with.

Today I heard that she is here and is trying to make her life miserable.

The sisters' feng shui was gone in a blink of an eye.

I don’t even know where I’m going to drift to?

Although Jia Yingchun was rescued by her maids, her eyes were filled with tears.

There seem to be thousands of words that cannot be expressed.

What can be said?

They were the ones who made the engagement and they were the ones who broke off the engagement. I was just a piece of wood, being pushed here and there.

At this moment, the maids shouted,

"Miss, the old lady is here, the old lady is here..."

Jia Yingchun struggled to stand up, but seemed to lack the strength.

Tanchun helped her up.

The two sisters supported each other and stood up.

"Grandma!" the two called out with tears in their eyes.

Grandmother Jia tapped the ground with her cane and looked at her two granddaughters.

They all grew up with me,

Now they are all graceful and elegant.

But I have such a stepmother.

Mrs. Xing?

Mrs. Wang? Will she take care of Tanchun?

"Second girl, you are confused! No matter what time, you can't just give up your life casually."

"If I were like you, I would hang myself or jump into a well at any time, and I would have died eight hundred times already."

"Everyone has come through many hardships."

Having said that, Grandmother Jia asked Yuanyang to help her sit down on the chair, and then she stared at Jia Yingchun, whose face was filled with tears, without letting go.

Jia Yingchun sniffed her tears.

"Grandma, I have no choice. I..."

"They..." Before she could finish her words, tears began to flow like beads from a broken string.

"How can there be no solution?"

"I understand what you mean. Did you hear about the cancellation of the engagement?"

"Have you asked me about this?"

"Have you asked Aunt Lin about this?"

When Lady Jia said this, not only Yingchun, but also Lady Wang and Lady Xing looked at her in surprise. Was it necessary to ask Jia Min about this?

Yingchun shook her head blankly. She really didn't do anything and didn't think about anything. She just wanted to die.

"Look, isn't this just you being confused?"

"You didn't do anything, you didn't ask anyone,"

"How are you going to live in the Lin family after you go there?"

"Does he hang himself if he doesn't agree with something?"

"If that's the case, then I'm sitting here watching you, and you hang yourself."

"Since you are going to hang yourself, dying in your own home is better than dying in someone else's home. I will at least give you a thin coffin."

After saying this, Grandmother Jia sat on the chair and looked at Jia Yingchun intently, with anger in her eyes.

Jia Yingchun's hands were shaking, and she couldn't lift the white silk.

My eyes are blurry and I can't see the road ahead clearly.

She turned around and knelt on the ground again, "Grandma!"

Grandmother Jia sighed, lowered her head and stared into her eyes.

"Still dead?"

This question was asked to Yingchun, but also to myself.

Is she still dead? If Concubine Zhen had hanged herself with a white silk scarf, would it be better than now?

The thought terrified her.

Jia Yingchun just cried softly.

Crying and shaking my head,

Jia's mother stroked the armrest of the chair.

Looking at Jia Yingchun expectantly,

"Then what are you going to do now?"

Jia Yingchun looked at Grandmother Jia with tears in her eyes.

"Grandma, can you help me?"

Grandmother Jia shook her head with a gloomy look on her face, "Grandma is old and can't help you for much longer."

Just as Jia Yingchun's hope rose, it immediately cooled down again.

She rubbed the chess piece vigorously, her movements mechanical and confused.

Jia Tanchun, who was standing beside her, pinched her hard.

"what……"

She seemed to be awakened by the pain.

At this time, Jia Tanchun whispered in her ear, "Aunt!..."

After being reminded by Jia Tanchun, she seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Grandma, I'll write a letter to my aunt right away."

"I don't agree to cancel the engagement!"

Hearing this, Grandmother Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She sat down on the chair steadily.

Remind Jia Yingchun,

"Second girl, third girl, you have a good relationship with Daiyu,"

“You can also write more letters and communicate with each other.”

"Even if the two families have severed their relationship, the friendship between the two sisters may not be severed."

After Grandmother Jia said this, Jia Yingchun and Tanchun's eyes lit up.

They exchanged glances, as if they didn't believe what they heard.

Can you do this?

"No! Mother, look at what you have taught them." Mrs. Wang looked anxious. She had long since given up listening and had no time to interrupt.

At this moment, it is really...

If we don't talk about it anymore, we'll start talking about relatives.

"The two families are enemies, how can we still ask Jia Min's opinion? We are the women, we can withdraw if we want."

Mrs. Wang continued to explain.

Grandmother Jia glanced at Mrs. Wang coldly.

"Second daughter-in-law, how is the Wang family doing now?"

Mrs. Wang's eyes narrowed.

"Where is Bao girl?" Grandmother Jia continued to ask.

Mrs. Wang showed an angry look on her face and said that this sister really made her lose face.

Just left without saying goodbye.

Who do you think you are!

It's been several days since he moved out and there's been no news.

At this time, Jia's mother continued to ask, "Master Jing has passed away. Have you informed the Lin and Xue families of the death?"

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing looked at each other in surprise.

"This... Mother, Brother Zhen didn't allow me to report it!"

Hearing this, Jia's mother's throat seemed to be blocked, and she choked a little, her voice unconsciously rising a little.

"If Zhen Ge'er doesn't report it, we will report it to the Lin family and the Xue family!"

"This... this mother... this is not... not polite, right?"

“It’s all buried!”

Mrs. Xing looked surprised and spoke hesitantly.

She thought to herself, why does this old lady do whatever she wants?

I have never seen anything like this. They are all buried first, and then the relatives will be notified.

Grandmother Jia said calmly, "There is nothing wrong with etiquette. We are all family members, and we will also report to the Wang family."

"We will go to the grave on the seventh day. On the seventh day, our Jia family will hold a funeral."

"Have a big funeral."

"Mother, you are not sick and confused, are you?"

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing both looked surprised and stared at Lady Jia.

"It's not me who is confused, it's you who are confused. Although our Jia family no longer has any titles, our people are still alive!"

“There’s still a way to go!”
