The Analects of Righteous Father’s Collapse
Chapter 207
"Aunt Jiang, what about returning to the grave?"
The old man Jiang’s day of death, as usual, gathers three rooms together to make a meal for his ancestors. On this day, no matter how busy the business is in the shop, Jiang Miao will take the children back to their hometown to sweep the grave and sacrifice their ancestors.
"Well, back."
Jiang Miao greeted each other, "His third aunt, didn’t you ask me to bring red cloth before? A few batches of defective materials were produced in the workshop a few days ago, and the price was half that of ordinary cloth. I checked and said yes Inferior materials, in fact, there are a few pieces of red that are not evenly dyed, and they are all in the corners. When cutting clothes, you can completely cut that piece, and it will not affect your red nier’s wedding dress. Xiaokun’s wife, before you The quality of the flour sent by her family to the shop is good. As long as this quality is maintained in the future, we will collect the flour from your family..."
Hearing the news of Jiang Miao's return, the people who asked her to do things all gathered in Jiang's house for a while.
"You said that the third oldest son of Jiang was also a good life. He married such a capable daughter-in-law, and you even followed the grass with the grass."
Jiang Miao is a celebrity in Jiangjia Village, and those villagers who did not squeeze to Jiang Miao's side in the first place naturally retreat and choose the next one to chat with Xu Xiaocao and Liu Cui.
As for Bailan, since her business has grown bigger and bigger, the villagers have been a bit stunned, and she always feels that everyone’s identity is different now, and she is a little scared in front of Bailan. Clean.
Over the years, Xu Xiaocao has learned to be clever. He no longer confronts Sanfang and says something strange, but Jianghu and Liu Cui, who have studied Erfang, began to show favor to Sanfang.
After all, they are brothers who are close to each other, and there is no incomprehensible hatred on both sides. Seeing Jiang Miao's face, Bailan also accepted the big house's offer.
In recent years, Bailan earned money by opening noodle shops to buy a lot of paved fields. Some of those fields were leased to people who have no farmland in the village, and some were leased to Jianghai and Jianghu, because there are three layers less rent than ordinary fields. These years The days of the Jiangjia big room and the second room are also pretty good.
Perhaps I have tasted the sweetness. The big room and the second room feel a lot better. I know that the three rooms are not happy to live with them under the eaves. They offered to sell the houses that were assigned to them to the three rooms. The village head was granted a piece of land to build a new house, and Bailan also rebuilt the old house after buying several other houses from both hands. Both parties were very happy, and their feelings were restored.
"The third one is a blessing."
No matter how jealous Xu Xiaocao was in her heart, she still pretended to be happy for the three bedrooms. The time for a few years was enough to make her understand that the three bedrooms are no longer the ones she can provoke.
"Yeah, you see that the big tiger is obviously about the same age as our son, but people were sent to the school enlightenment when they were six years old. It is said that a dart master is now invited to teach martial arts.
Xiao Wang's wife is still a broken mouth for ten years. At this time, she is holding a handful of sunflower seeds and joined Xu Xiaocao's topic.
"And the little girl from the third son of your family, came back in a carriage yesterday. At a young age, there was a maidservant who was waiting for her, and it was no different from the lady of the noble family."
"Yeah, I saw it really yesterday. The six-year-old girl dressed up was called Jin Gui. The little bells tied in her hair should be made of gold. They sounded ding ding clang. I am all my age. I haven’t even touched a gold ring."
Jiang Zhuhua is the most enviable girl in the village. They are also worthless girls. Jiang Zhuhua is her father's baby. Although her father is stupid, when she can't walk, her father It’s her legs. No child in the village has ever seen Jiang Zhuhua riding on her father’s neck. Her mother will make money, and she is very hurt for her girl. She never stings in dressing her up. Every time she sees Jiang Zhuhua She wears new clothes all over her.
But it is useless to envy. Who told others to live well and reborn in the three bedrooms of the Jiang family?
Meng Jiao Niang didn’t know why, when she heard the news of Jiangliu’s family returning to her hometown, she walked towards the Jiang family uncontrollably, but she didn’t dare to get close, she only dared to look at it from a distance, and then fled in panic, yet The figure was still seen by the sharp-eyed woman.
"Isn't that Meng Meng's widow? Gee, I thought she had framed Jiang San at the time, but unfortunately she didn't succeed."
"Yeah, if she had succeeded, Bailan might not be willing to continue her life with Jiang San. Now, Jiang San's life will not be so generous, only that everything is life."
Several broken-mouthed women chatted while looking at Meng Jiao-niang's back.
Meng Jiao Niang’s life has not been good these years. When she first gave birth, Meng Jiao Niang earned a little money from her flesh, but it’s not a good time. Once, Meng Jiao Niang provokes a man who shouldn’t provoke, The daughter-in-law of the other party is the girl of the butcher’s family, with a strong body and a tough personality. After knowing the rape of Meng Jiao Niang and his own man, he directly brought his family brother to the door. It was also that time when Meng Jiao Niang ruined her eating face. The flesh and skin business cannot be done.
Those men were supposed to be young and beautiful Meng Jiao Niang, now her face is ruined, who would like to spend money to sleep with her, because of this matter, Meng Jiao Niang's livelihood is broken, the reputation also fell to the bottom, if not look For the child she gave birth to was also the children of the village head's family, I'm afraid Meng Jiao's mother and son would have been kicked out of Jiangjia Village long ago.
In recent years, Meng Jiao Niang’s mother and son depended on the support of the village head and the wild grass and wild fruits on the mountain. In order to survive, Meng Jiao Niang also had to start to work. Sweet potato, because of hard work, the originally delicate skin became rough and dark yellow. In just a few years, Meng Jiao Niang became the most vulgar village woman she used to look down on, even worse.
As for the child born by Meng Jiao Niang, because of a bad reputation, even if the child behaved very smartly, and there was no child in the village willing to play with him, and Meng Jiao Niang was not a good mother, The misery of life made her vent her grievances on the child, and scolded him at every turn. The child named Jiang Gou Dan was going to help Meng Jiao Niang to work together at a young age. It was also a pitiful person.
"I don't think you said anything right. If Meng Jiao Niang really succeeded in framing, maybe she is now living as Mrs. Rich. After all, Bailan has always been soft-hearted, and she had a son with Jiang San at that time. Is it really going to be impossible with Jiang Sanhe?"
"That is, I heard that before someone saw Jiang Gou Dan calling Jiang San to call his father, would you say Jiang Gou Dan is really Jiang San's son, Meng Jiao Niang didn't lie?"
"Don't talk nonsense, let Aunt Jiang and Bai Lan hear it, and be careful that they won't take your food in the future."
A few women with broken mouths were interrupted by a shrewd woman. The brand’s noodle restaurant is booming. The rice grains required each month are not a small number. The villagers in Jiacun bought it, and sometimes the demand was large, and the wives of these daughters-in-law who married Jiangjiacun could also benefit.
Therefore, in Jiangjia Village, the three bedrooms of the Jiang family have long been incapable of offending.
"We mean to say, look at my mouth, it should be played."
Several gossiping women patted their mouths, and they also said that they were slipping their mouths for a while. If these words really caused Jiang Sanjia to not accept their food, I am afraid they would become the sinners of the whole family.
A group of women changed the subject, and then talked about other things, other people.
But the few central figures who just talked about it again met as they talked about in the topic just now.
******
"father!"
A thin, small, gray-faced little boy rushed to the river. This was Jiang Jinlin, who was reborn, and is now arbitrarily named Jiang Gou Dan.
When he first discovered that he was reborn, Jiang Jinlin was very excited, because he felt that he was the son of good luck. This rebirth was the opportunity that God gave him to check for vacancies, but when he began to understand his situation, this excitement was It became panic.
Everything has changed. He turned into an older brother who was supposed to have a miscarriage. The father in his last life is no longer a father. He has become an adulterous child with a defective identity, and the Jiang family who used to be their mother and son for their mothers and sons is even more so. Become a stranger.
In the past six years of rebirth, Jiang Jinlin has experienced all the hardships he has not experienced in his previous life, and he also wants to change his status quo more and more.It is a pity that it may be because the start is too bad. Even if Jiang Jinlin has decades of power to remember, he still cannot change his current status of life. In particular, he is still restricted by his body. A child under the age of 10 would have everything he wants to do. Even Meng Jiao Niang's scolding could not be stopped.
Jiang Jinlin missed the last life more and more. He was the son of Jiangliu in the last life. With the wholehearted maintenance of Jiangliu, from childhood to coat and worry-free food, perhaps the life in front of him was too difficult. Gradually, Jiang Jinlin felt more and more that he should be a river. Son, just everyone was wrong, thinking he was Jiang Dezhu's son, and he wholeheartedly wanted to disturb the chaos anyway, and let Jiang Liu admit his own son's existence.
Today he heard the news that the Sanfang of the Jiang family had returned to sweep the tomb, so he stood by and waited on the ground where the river must pass.
"You're so strange, how can you recognize your father casually."
The eleven-year-old Jiang Liu is a good and simple good boy. Although he doesn’t understand why the mother always said that the big tiger and the bamboo flower are his children, but since the mother said so, he will take care of him like his father and mother. Tiger and bamboo flowers.
As for other people who are crying and trying to recognize their father, I'm sorry, he is still a baby himself.
"Dad, I want to eat prickly pear."
Jiang Zhuhua is six years old, but she still likes to be held by her father. The white fat little girl she raised is squeezing her father's clothes, and she gives instructions to the stupid dad.
"Okay, let's pluck the prickly fruit."
The river bypassed Jiang Jinlin and took the little girl to search for thorns in the grass at the foot of the mountain.
Jiang Zhuhua's Yu Guang glanced at the lost Jiang Jinlin. When Jiang Jinlin first came to recognize his father, they realized that the other party, like them, also had a chance to be born again. They thought of Meng Jiao Niang's child after all. He is innocent and does not intend to implicate hatred on this child. Now that he is Jiang Jinlin, Bai Lanniang's hands are naturally uncomfortable.
Now seeing Jiang Jinlin fall into this field, Jiang Zhuhua's mood was very happy. She held the silly father's neck tightly and decided to give the silly father a quicksand bag today as a reward for his ruthless rejection of Jiang Jinlin.
Jiang Liu didn't return to his hometown very often. How could Jiang Jinlin give up because of his refusal. Just as he was about to get tangled up, Jiang Dahu stopped him.
Nine-year-old Jiang Dahu was tall and burly because of his nutrition and martial arts. He was standing in front of Jiang Jinlin like a hill.
Without Jiang Dahu nonsense, he just waved his fist, and Jiang Jinlin dared not take another step closer.
Watching the Jiang family go away, Jiang Jinlin went home in a trance, and returned to the dilapidated thatched house.
"I miss books."
Jiang Jinlin thought that he was also the best person in the last life. As long as he participates in the imperial examinations in this life and regains his credit, everything he has lost will be at his fingertips.
"Ha ha."
Meng Jiao Niang sneered, she felt that this son really came to collect debts, otherwise how could such a demanding request be made.
"Who do you think you are? You are a raped child who is not recognized by his father's family. Don't say I don't have money for you to study. Even if I have money, do you think there will be a showman who is willing to accept you as a disciple? Do you think there will be someone? Would you like to protect you, stop dreaming."
Meng Jiao Niang's scarred face was particularly eerie at this moment.
"You are the dog, the cheapest and most useless thing."
Meng Jiao Niang touched her son's face with the rough palm, and then clenched his hair tightly, regardless of Jiang Jinlin's struggle to take him to work in the small half-acre wasteland he had cultivated.
Jiang Dezhu was under the control of the tigress, and he dared not take care of their mother and daughter. The village head remembered that the Jiang Gou egg was also the blood of their Jiang family. They occasionally received some food, but now the village head is older and there are several other sons in the family. It has long been dissatisfied that the village head took things from the public to help the debts caused by the second house. In order to survive, Meng Jiao Niang had to start thinking about it.
She and her son can't turn over in this life. She can't. The son also cut off the possibility of turning over because of his identity. Instead of hoping for the impossible, it is better to calm down and think about the next meal.
******
Since then, Jiang Jinlin no longer appeared in front of the Jiang family, but every time when he returned to his hometown, Bai Lan and others would hear the story of Meng Jiao's mother and son from other people's mouths.
I heard that Meng Jiao Niang finally got in touch with a forty-year-old widower. The widower was poor at home and could not afford a second daughter-in-law. The first one did not give him a son and a half. In order to pass on the blood, old The widower did not mind Meng Jiao Niang’s reputation and her ruined face, only begging Meng Jiao Niang to give him birth.
I heard that the widower had a bad temper, and he didn’t want to raise children for other men. He scolded Jiang Dougan, but the biological mother Meng Jiao Niang turned a blind eye to it and wanted to have a baby for the widower so that she could stand at home.
I heard Jiang Goudan ran to the village school to overhear. After being discovered by Xiucai, he memorized the three-character scriptures and family names, but it was a pity that his life was bad. Although Xiucai was shocked by his intelligence, he could only regret it. He refused to stay outside the school.I don’t know who reached the ear of Jiang Dezhu’s daughter-in-law. I was worried that Meng Jiao Niang turned over by this son. The spicy woman found a few bastards and interrupted Jiang Gou’s egg. Acting, the woman lost twenty-two dollars for the widower and Meng Jiao-niang, and they no longer pursue this matter as if nothing has happened.
I heard that Meng Jiao Niang was pregnant, and the widower was very excited about it. He went to town to buy wine and drink many times. Once drunk and fell into the river, he was drowned when he was found. Therefore, Meng Jiao Niang became a widow, and the village also passed Rumors of her husband.
I heard that Meng Jiao Niang had a miscarriage for four months, and Meng Jiao Niang became crazy.
I heard that the widower drowning and Meng Jiao Niang’s miscarriage had the shadow of Jiang Goudan behind, and the other party resented the two people’s inaction when he was beaten.
It is said that Meng Jiao Niang and Jiang Gou's eggs are dead. After tormenting each other for more than ten years, Meng Jiao Niang set a fire and burned herself and Jiang Gou's eggs to the thatched hut in Meng's house.
...
These are the things that happened one after another in the following decades.
Bai Lan and a pair of children did not play any role in them, they just tried to make themselves better, and quietly watched Meng Jiao's mother and son die.
In this life, the hands of the three of them were not contaminated with blood, but reported hatred.
******
"I think the old man was right. That Jiang San was really rich and precious."
Forty years later, the young people in the village have all become gray-haired old people, crutches under the shade of a tree with a cane on their backs.
Xiao Wang's daughter-in-law finally stopped nibbling the seeds, holding a handful of syrup fruits, one from time to time, softened the syrup fruits, and then swallowed.
At first, people in the village used the old saying as a joke. Now who doesn’t say the old saying is accurate.
This Jiang San was stupid for most of his life, but when he was young, he was guarded by his old lady. After being stupid, his daughter-in-law is now older. Although her mind is still not sober, a pair of children are filial, and they are really rich in life.
"I heard that Bailan's health is not very good. Also, she suffered a lot when she was young. Now she is not as good as Jiang Sanqiang."
"Yeah, I don't know what happened."
Everyone sighed a few words. Time passed so fast that they were all people who reached the grave with one foot.
Bai Lan, who was nagging about them, was already on the verge of disappearance, and Jiang Liu and a pair of children stood in front of her bed.
"After I leave, you brothers and sisters should be well."
Jiang Dahu and Jiang Zhuhua each have their own family and have children. For their siblings, Bai Lan is very relieved.
The only thing she couldn't let go was her little fool. She had already raised to "fifteen years old" before. On the day after her fifteenth birthday, he returned to "four years old." Many famous doctors, but the human brain is too complicated, no doctor can explain the disease.
Later, Bailan also gave up, she first adopted this husband as a son, and then as a grandson, raised and raised, and the feelings became more and more profound.
Now another reincarnation has passed. Jiangliu is "six years old" this year. If Bai Lan taught him day and night, he would have called the big tiger, the bamboo flower, and their grandparents.
"Mother, you can rest assured, dad, we will take care of it."
Jiang Dahu tried his best to restrain his inner sorrow, and looked at the crying whimper on the side, the silly dad with tears and nostrils sticking to his face, assuring his mother.
Not only did his mother treat a stupid dad as her son as a grandson, Jiang Dahu couldn't treat this undaunted dad as a grown-up, especially the intellectual memory of a stupid dad only hovered between the ages of four and fifteen. Child.
As for revenge or something, it has long been left behind by several people.
"Ok."
Bai Lan, who was promised, nodded with a smile, and finally glanced at her own children, and the river that was silly crying like a child, and slowly closed her eyes.
Perhaps Jiangliu being stupid is the best ending. After all, she is still an ordinary woman who is governed by her husband’s doctrine. If she really avenges her husband, the birth father of her child, Bailan will be happy. Self-blame and self-loathing.
A pair of children and that man are even more restricted by ethical principles. For whatever reason, being a child to revenge a father is a worldly existence.
Jiang Liu is stupid, they don't have to be tortured by hatred, they don't have to struggle with revenge or forbearance
Bailan was very glad that the river flow had become stupid, and that she had not been blinded by hatred. In order to become a stranger to her revenge, she and her children still insisted on their own hearts. At the beginning of all the bad luck, they left. On a completely different path to happiness.
Thanks for this rebirth, this life, she has no regrets.
Jiang Dahu and Jiang Zhuhua cried away their mothers, and on the day of the Bailan Festival, they sent away their stupid fathers. Fortunately, the brothers and sisters also had each other and their relatives. To continue their own lives.
However, Jiang Dahu and Jiang Zhuhua did not bury the deceased father and the deceased mother together. Although the tombs of Bailan and Jiangliu were in the ancestral tombs of the Jiang family, they were separated by a short distance.
This is a common decision of Jiang Dahu and Jiang Zhuhua. They don’t hate stupid, but hate their biological father. After all, their biological father failed their mothers. Because of the existence of stupid fathers, they can let go of their hatred, but this does not mean that they forget the hatred. The mother-in-law is still reluctant to be buried with her biological father.
Some old people in the tribe have a little bit of remarks about the decisions of the brothers and sisters, but Jiang Dahu and Jiang Zhuhua brothers and sisters do not take those gossips into their hearts. In their view, this is already the best ending.
