Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

After a whole morning of hard work, the family finally sat down to eat.

Yu Xiu was busy running around, pulling the table, putting the stools in place, bringing the bowls, and arranging the chopsticks.

Everyone sat down, and Yu Xiu looked at Lan Qiyan eagerly.

"Mom, can you tell me now?"

Lan Qiyan first drank a sip of soy milk to moisten his throat, and then ate some food to fill his stomach.

"Here's what happened. Yesterday, after I sent Yuze off, I went to the grain store to find out about the current grain prices.

But when we got there, we found that the huge grain store was surrounded by people.

Later, it was discovered that the grain store owner's wife was committing adultery with another scholar in the town, Cao Rende.

Cao Rende was beaten by his wife and brother-in-law, and the woman was beaten by her husband.

Then he was dragged out of the pig cage by the tribesmen, and Cao Rende was taken home."

"That's not right, mother. If there is adultery, the man will be beaten to death on the spot and the woman will be thrown into a pig cage. Then why did Cao Rende return home?"

Lan Qiyan took another sip of soy milk and said, "Third Brother, this is a good question.

Cao Rende was a scholar. If this matter got out of hand, he would lose his title of scholar.

His wife is the daughter of the owner of Piaoxianglou, and it is this identity that attracts people.

If they take care of it, there is no chance that Cao Rende will die."

"Money makes the world go round. My ancestors are really deceiving me." Yu Xiu even said something decent.

Old Lady Yu slapped her thigh and said, "Wait, Yanyan, the grain store you mentioned, is the owner's surname Qin? There is only one grain store in Qingshan Town."

"Yes, his name is Qin Dayou."

"His wife's name is Yang Cuihua."

Lan Qiyan asked in a serious tone, "How did you know that, mother?"

"Alas, she is your second sister's sister-in-law. She is very beautiful. She had a childhood engagement, but her parents thought the woman was too poor, so they broke off the engagement.

Her eldest brother, your second brother-in-law, sells pork in the town, and got to know Qin Dayou through these interactions.

The Yang family was attracted by the other person's wealth, and the Qin family was attracted by the people in his family. They hit it off immediately, and Cuihua married into the family.

Alas, poor girl, I heard she is not doing well, how could she be so stupid? Stealing someone will lead to death."

Lan Qiyan chewed spinach and said, "Mom, she didn't cheat on me. It was the Qin family who sent Yang Cuihua to different men for their own business."

Old Lady Yu was full of disbelief, "How could this happen? It's so heartless."

"So the thunder last night struck both the Qin family and the Yang family, and Liu Lian and Cao Rende both died in the fire."

Old Lady Yu was a little worried, "Then..."

"Mom, your daughter was involved and knew about it. I was standing behind her when she was put into the pig cage."

"Damn it, who taught her to do this? Ever since they got married, both of them have changed."

Lan Qiyan knew that her mother-in-law was scolding her, but she was still worried. She could stop associating with her daughter, but she couldn't let her die.

"Xiaozhi said that the Qin family is extinct, and Yang Cuihua's three sons are all dead, killed by the beam.

Cao Rende also died, but his wife survived, her face was burned.

The Yang family's parents were burned to death by Huo, your son-in-law survived, but his legs were severely burned, and your daughter's face was also half destroyed. They are all in Shoukang Hall now, and the county magistrate is here, do you want to go and see them?"

Old Lady Yu was relieved to hear that she was not dead. "She is not dead, so why should I watch? Let it be. This is retribution. They owe Cuihua this.

When Tingting first got married, I stopped by their pork stall on my way to town.

Her parents-in-law were afraid that I would ask for meat, so they didn't dare to invite me.

Yu Tingting, she didn’t have the courage and kept asking me to leave.

In the end, Cuihua cut two pounds of meat for me and spoke sarcastically to Yu Tingting.

I heard that she later went without food for a day and was beaten by her parents.

I have never been there since then, and even when I want to buy meat I go to other stalls.

Later, I heard that they were selling dead pigs and sow meat, which had a terrible smell and caused diarrhea among people who ate it. Gradually, their stall could no longer operate.

The son-in-law made a living by slaughtering pigs for others, and we lost contact.

Who knew this would happen now? Even God couldn't stand it anymore. This is revenge for Cuihua.

No, I have to stack some gold ingots and go to the crossroads to burn some for that poor girl.

I hope she can be reborn into a good family in her next life and live a happy life."

Lan Qiyan lowered his head and drank the soy milk. The person is not dead yet, who should he burn it for?

By the way, when she goes to burn paper later, she should say Gu Huan’s name and give some money to this poor woman.

I don’t know whether Xie Pinting has come to the capital, and I don’t know whether she has taken revenge. Alas, her revenge is much harder to take than Yang Cuihua’s.

While eating in the Yuxiu Building, "So that's how it is, the thunder last night struck a bad person.

No wonder it's so loud, as long as it doesn't affect next year's harvest and my meals, it's fine."

Old Lady Yu also ate with relish. After all, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. Who made them do the bad thing first?

The other four brothers always felt that things were not that simple. If thunder could accurately kill evildoers, it should strike the one in the palace first.

Then he would chop down the Prince of Anyang and the eldest princess who had stepped on the corpses of tens of thousands of people.

However, this matter had nothing to do with them, and the government was involved, so there was no need for them to waste manpower and resources to investigate.

But why does this matter feel related to my mother? Yulin glanced at Lan Qiyan.

The other three brothers also stared at Lan Qiyan. It seemed that their mother knew a lot. Did everyone know these things?

However, in Yulin's opinion, would a woman who was fighting with her son for steamed buns design to use weather conditions to kill people?

Obviously, she does not meet this condition.

To put it bluntly, the IQ is not enough.

But Lan Qiyan had no idea that her youngest son had already denied her intelligence.

The important thing now is that Yu Lao Er has snatched her steamed bun, which she cannot tolerate, so she decides to use a conciliatory policy and play the emotional card.

"Son, I'm hungry. Give me this steamed bun. I've raised you for so long, don't you know how to be grateful? Filial piety is the most important virtue. Son, you can't let me starve to death!"

Yu Xiu refused to give in, "Mom has already eaten two, so I'm full now.

You said you wanted to supervise me because you wanted to lose weight, but you are not allowed to eat this. Look at what you have become. "

"Son, as the saying goes, you should eat well in the morning, eat enough at noon, and eat less at night."

"Soy milk, green vegetables, and steamed buns. This is a good meal. I'm already full. If you eat another steamed bun, you'll turn into a pig."

Lan Qiyan squeezed out two tears and said, "Son, I feel uncomfortable all over. I just need this steamed bun."

Yu Xiu said faintly, "Mother, do you want to make Master Chen, who you eat, look down on you?"

Lan Qiyan's face turned black. She looked down on Master Chen even more. What kind of person was he? He was so ugly.

She got so angry that she loosened her grip and the bun went into Yu Xiu's mouth.

Yu Xiu laughed loudly, and Lan Qiyan curled his lips, "Old Third, hurry up and eat. After you eat, I will send you to school."

"Let's go to the town too." Several children said in unison.

Old Lady Yu pulled her sleeves and said, "Yanyan, I want to go and see it too."
