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

Chen Wude looked back and asked, "Open the door?"

Several children turned around at the same time, "Grandma, can you open the door?"

Old Lady Yu turned around and asked, "Where is Yanyan?"

"Grandma, mommy hasn't woken up yet?" Yu Ze reminded.

Old Mrs. Yu was also worried, because she knew at once that the voice was that of her eldest daughter.

"Grandma, please open the door. Mom won't blame you. If anyone behaves like a demon, Mom will teach her a lesson."

Lan Qiyan nodded, the second brother still understood her.

Hearing the sound of the door opening in the yard, Lan Qiyan turned over and continued to sleep. As long as it didn't affect her life, there was no need to disturb her with such trivial matters.

Yu Xiu opened the door and Yu Miaomiao huddled at the door, "Mother, mother, save me."

Old Lady Yu rushed out and saw that Yu Miaomiao was covered in mud, her hair was messy, and her face and hands were covered in blood.

"What's going on with you?"

"Mother...Mother, someone is trying to bury me alive."

"Hehe, wasn't Sister Daya also buried alive? She wasn't as lucky as you." Yu Xiu said sarcastically.

Yu Miaomiao lowered her head guiltily, as the main responsibility this time was not hers.

It was the eldest brother and his wife who said that they sold Daya to help Yujin get married.

Why was she retaliated against?

Who buried her?

But after she crawled out of the grave, she didn't dare to report to the police, otherwise her crime would be exposed.

"Mother, my eldest brother and his wife asked me to help find a wealthy family and send Daya to be a maid.

There was a girl in our place who worked as a maid in a wealthy family in the county town, and eventually she became a concubine.

Now the big blue brick and tile house of my mother's family has been built, and several of my brothers have married and had children.

I thought about finding one for her, but my eldest brother and his wife wanted the highest price and wanted to send it over to bring good luck.

I also tried to persuade them, but I couldn't make the decision because they accepted fifty taels.

Originally, I was offered twenty taels, but I refused. In the end, I was only given five taels as a reward for my hard work.

It was not until I heard that Mr. Li’s eldest son had died and the Li family gave them another twenty taels of silver that I realized that Daya was buried with him.

Mother, please believe me, I like money, but I won’t let my niece die.”

Old Lady Yu lifted her up with a gloomy face and said, "After dinner, go away. When I see you, I think of poor Daya.

I don’t want to know who is right or wrong between you. Now you are all getting your retribution anyway.

Did you know that Wang Daqing is dead and only his wife is left at home? "

"What? How did he die?" Yu Miaomiao drank a bowl of porridge in a hurry and ran away.

How did he die?

He said he was given thirty taels of silver, and that he was responsible for the money for his four sons to marry.

What if she died?

What if Zhu Da Kui hits her again?

Old Mrs. Yu sat in the kitchen in a daze.

Yuze came over and said, "Grandma, are you okay?"

Old Lady Yu shook her head and said, "Xiao Ze, grandma is not an unforgivable person. Why can't you educate any of these children well?"

"Nana, this is not your fault. There are too many temptations and too much human influence."

"After all, it's all because of poverty. For money, they can attack their relatives and even their own flesh and blood.

Daya is not a bad kid. She is almost old enough to get married, so how come she has such parents? "

"Grandma, with the behavior of uncle and aunt, it is impossible for Sister Daya to marry into a good family. Rather than living a miserable life, I think death is a relief."

Old Lady Yu sighed, "I'm old now, no one can take care of me anymore, isn't it good for us to just live a good life?"

"Grandma, you still have us."

"Yeah, forget about them, I still have you guys."

……

Zhujiazhuang

Yu Miaomiao ran back home madly, and Zhu Dagui came out to greet her, "Where have you been? Why are you in this state?"

She looked at Zhu Dagui, "Is Wang Daqing dead?"

When he heard this, Zhu Da Kui got furious and slapped him in the face.

"You damn bitch, I've been looking for you for so long, and the first thing you ask about when you come back is another man?

Your old lover died, and now you have no meat to eat. Aren’t you very sad?

If you can't stand it, go to his house and cry, you cheap bastard."

Yu Miaomiao covered her face and said, "Zhu Da Kui, you are really brainless, he just promised to give us thirty taels, and then he was killed.

I have no more money. Do you understand what it means to have no more money?"

Zhu Da Kui was stunned. "What did you say?"

Yu Miaomiao was very disappointed, "How old are you? You are over 30 years old. You have four sons. It costs 20 or 30 taels of silver to get married. How much do we have? Five taels of silver at most.

If there was no Wang Daqing, who would help you deal with the collapse of the house you were building and the death of someone?

If I didn't beg you every day, you would be beheaded now.

Now, our long-term meal ticket is gone. What do you think we should do?

How did he die?"

"I heard it was poisoning. He ate a lot and didn't eat much weeds, so the poisoning wasn't serious."

"Poisoned. Who poisoned him? What kind of poison?"

"I don't know. The officers took the body away. I don't know what village it is from."

"Where's Wang Yecao?"

"She's still at home, a widow, crying every night, as if haunted.

She was also a worthless person. Wang Daqing treated her badly, beating and scolding her at every turn. All four of her pregnancies were aborted. Shouldn't she be happy that this one died?"

"Something's not right. Is it possible that she was the one who poisoned me?"

Zhu Dagui denied it immediately, "It's impossible. The officials have questioned her. She is just a cowardly fool. She doesn't have the courage."

Yu Miaomiao waved her hands. She had a headache. There were so many things that she couldn't understand. "Go and boil some water for me to take a bath. I'll wash and change clothes and go to her house to see her."

"What to do?"

"Wang Daqing must have left some silver. I'll hold the weeds back, and you'll be responsible for finding the silver, especially the cellar."

"Okay, but where did you go?"

"My eldest brother and his wife want to silence the witnesses." She could only suspect them now, as there was nothing suspicious about the others.

"Ah, why?"

"Because Daya was buried with him."

"what?"

Yu Miaomiao patted him and said, "You are just a little girl. Go and boil some water for me."

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

When Yu Miaomiao went into the house to get clothes, she found that her four sons were not at home.

"Da Kui, where are the strong ones?"

"The fourth grandfather in front passed away, and several children went to help."

"Why don't you go?"

"I didn't sleep all night yesterday in order to find you. I took a nap for a quarter of an hour and you came back."

Yu Miaomiao smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I will make it up to you tonight."

Zhu Da Kui looked at Yu Miaomiao's back and quickly ran over to close the door.

Half an hour later, Yu Miaomiao was soaking comfortably in the bathtub. It was still better to be at home.

Zhu Da Kui also cleaned himself and jumped in. The bathtub suddenly became crowded and water spilled all over the floor.

The bath lasted from morning to noon. One of them felt euphoric and the other had a rosy complexion.

If I hadn't been afraid that the children would come back at noon, the water in the bathtub would probably have frozen.
