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

"God damn it, we were doing a good job in our family, but you, an old man, first opened the coffin, and then let our daughter-in-law beat us. Is there any justice in the world?"

"I'm going to report to the police. You're committing murder on purpose." Old Mrs. Yu's voice became hoarse from crying.

Her brother, a simple and honest brother, has loved her since she was a child.

Anything delicious would be eaten by her first.

When he grew up, he married his sister-in-law. His sister-in-law gave birth to three daughters, but he did not treat them harshly.

But his parents wanted him to carry on the family line, so he had no choice but to adopt a boy from another family.

I didn't expect to raise such an ungrateful person. How painful it must be to see him starve to death.

When they were fighting most fiercely, the chief of Dahe Village came over.

"Wenjing."

"Brother Wen Zheng, I want to report to the police."

Wang Wenzheng is the village chief of Dahe Village. He is the son of the previous village chief and also Wang Wenjing’s elder brother from the same clan.

"Wen Jing, you can't do this."

"Why? As a son, he starved my eldest brother to death. This is intentional murder."

"Wen Jing, things are not as simple as you think."

"What do you mean?" Old Mrs. Yu stood up with the help of Yu Ze.

Wang Wenzheng looked around and said, "Wenjing, look, these are the hopes of our Dahe Village.

The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. If they report the matter to the police, the matter will be known to the surrounding villages.

Who will dare to marry the daughter of Dahe Village, and who will be willing to marry the son of Dahe Village?"

"What about the matter of Wang Qiang starving my elder brother to death?"

"How about having him kneel down in front of his father's grave, kowtow and apologize, and then arrange a proper funeral?"

"A bowl of water in life is worth a thousand piles of ashes after death. These things are just for show."

"Wen Jing, you are already a member of Yushi Village. I am informing you, not discussing with you.

Otherwise, there is no need to talk about our friendship anymore, and you should not come back. "

Old Lady Yu looked at him in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"Okay, let's do this, seal the coffin and prepare to go up the mountain.

Wenjing, if you want to see your brother off for the last time, then just stay here quietly.

Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Wang Qiang shook off Lan Qiyan's hand that was still pinching him and said, "Let me go. The village chief is my uncle. In Dahe Village, we all have to listen to him.

You've been beating me for so long, I won't do the same for my father's sake, get out of here now."

"Dad, tell them to go away. This guy doesn't follow the rules when beating people. He almost bit off my arm. He is a dog."

"No, he was born in the Year of the Ox. He hit my stomach so hard that it hurt so much."

"He was a donkey, he kicked me to death. If it weren't for my village chief grandfather coming, the three of us brothers would definitely make you pay for it."

Old Mrs. Yu wanted to say something but was stopped by Yu Ze.

"Yuze, I am unwilling to accept this?"

"Grandma, don't get excited yet, listen to what they say."

At Wang Wenzhen's call, a group of people began to help seal the coffin.

"I don't know what they are doing. They have lived to this age, and it's time for them to die."

"That is to say, Wang Qiang did not send him to the Mountain of Death."

"Wang Yaowu just sent his mother to the Mountain of Death last month."

"The month before last, Wang Youliang also sent his seriously ill daughter-in-law up there."

……

For the first time, Lan Qiyan felt that human life was too cheap in this dynasty.

Anyone who can no longer contribute to the family deserves to die. Is this Death Mountain filled with corpses?

After attending the funeral, the group returned home in a daze.

Lan Qiyan couldn't wait to ask, "Mom, where is Death Mountain?"

Old Lady Yu’s eyes were red and swollen, “Death Mountain, that’s a devil’s place.

All the villages around here agree that as long as the elderly in the family are still alive, they can be sent up there.

When I was a child, I had to send it, but now I can send it or not.

However, most of them gave it away, and those who didn’t chose not to give the elderly food or drink, allowing them to starve to death.

To put it bluntly, there is not enough food. What can I do? "

"Mom, why didn't you tell me earlier? We can have one more person in our family."

Old Lady Yu shook her head, "Yanyan, you think too simply.

No one could take my son away unless he let go, but my brother was also freed.

His son treats him badly, his daughter-in-law is even more unreasonable, and his three grandsons are good for nothing, and it is a sin for them to be alive. "

Lan Qiyan sighed, the feudal system has so many drawbacks.

"Don't worry, mother. You stay at home and we will never go to the Death Mountain."

Old Lady Yu smiled with relief, "As for me, the best thing I have done in my life is to marry you for Zi'an."

Lan Qiyan scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly. She was not that good.

Several children: Don’t be narcissistic, you will shine with some sunshine.

"Mom, whose family did you adopt your oldest nephew from?"

"I don't know. No one has ever told me about this."

"Mom, have you ever observed carefully? Wang Qiang and Wang Wenzheng look quite similar."

“Impossible, Wang Wenzheng’s wife gave birth to three sons and one daughter, and they are all stronger than Wang.

After that, the sister-in-law never gave birth again, so how could Wang Qiang be his? "

Yuze smiled mysteriously, "Mom, do you want to..."

"What are you doing standing here? Have you packed your things?"

"No."

"Go pack your things."

"Oh." Yuze went back to the house and pulled Yulin into the house. His mother was too curious, so he had to ask Yulin to keep an eye on her. Curiosity killed the cat.

The next morning, braving the heavy fog, the mother and daughter set out on the journey to school, carrying their backpacks.

"Yuze, don't work too hard. At most, we can just learn a few words. There are 360 ​​professions, and we can make a living in any of them."

"Don't worry, mother. After deducting the annual tuition, there is still 50 taels of silver. It is all under the brick in the toilet. You can go and get it when you go home."

"Why don't you bring it with you?"

"I'm going to study, why would I bring so much money? Mom, Yu Xiu is naughty, you should beat him if necessary. Yu Qi is sensitive, please pay attention to her."

Lan Qiyan waved his hand, "Don't make it sound like you're entrusting me with your child before your death. You only go home once every two weeks, so don't worry."

Yuze is not worried about his other brothers. Instead, he is worried that his mother will get into trouble out of curiosity.

Dad’s friends have already left Qingshan Town, and there are many prominent figures in this town.

What if it's like the last time?

Lan Qiyan almost swore to the sky, and finally sent Yuze, who was as worried as an old man, to school.

Lan Qiyan, who came out of the school, was like a fat bird that had been set free, flying in a mess.

Although she had a little money now, she didn't dare to spend it carelessly. Yuze took away a set of mattresses, so she had to buy a new one, otherwise the children would be cold tonight.

I also spent 30 cents to buy two hammer bones, but when I turned around, I met a few acquaintances at the door of the blacksmith shop.

She looked carefully and saw that it was Wang Wenzhen and Wang Qiang.

Speak of the devil, he appears. She was just thinking about going to Dahe Village when she had time, but she didn't expect that they would come to the town.

In a flash, she took out a large headscarf, wrapped it around her head, and nimbly moved behind the doorpost behind them.

"Dad, now that he's dead, the house is ours too."

"Well, well done."

"But there is nothing in that house that you say is there."

Lan Qiyan was shocked. What is that?

Are there any other secrets?
