Chapter 303 Spicy Chicken (5)
This is an ordinary story of an orphan girl being bullied by her tribe.
"When a stranger you meet on the road reaches out to you, it is very likely that he is a kind person. He just pities you and has nothing to ask for. However, some tribesmen reach out to you, but it is not because of kindness or affection, but just for the greater good. It's just for their own benefit." When Mrs. Jingyun Hou said this, she couldn't help but shake her head, "When I was infected with smallpox when I was young, I was a dead person to them. If there was no benefit, they would naturally drive the person out immediately. ”
The legitimate daughter of the dignified Zheng family in Xingyang could not even enter Zheng family's house. This sounds extremely ridiculous. But Lin Fei knew it was not ridiculous. On the contrary, this kind of thing happened almost every other day.
Under the brocade robes there are invisible lice.
"At that time, I was living on the street with a high fever. The old servant had no choice but to find an inn for me to stay, but which inn would accept a smallpox patient?" Mrs. Jingyunhou shook her head and said, "I want to I went to rent a house, but I couldn't find it even if I put in enough money with both hands. After asking around, I found out that it was the people of the Zheng family who spread the word about me having smallpox, so that everyone in the city knew that there was a Zheng family. The young lady has smallpox and is looking for a place to stay, and she won't let me wait in."
"It was late winter, and we were living on the streets with nowhere to go." Mrs. Jingyunhou's calm and calm face darkened. Although it had been many years, the scene at that time was clearly engraved in her mind and could not be forgotten. "When I was desperate, it was..."
Looking at the two inconspicuous carriages that appeared at the end of the official road, Mrs. Jingyun Hou showed a smile on her face, and her originally gloomy eyebrows softened: "It was Mrs. Lu who was practicing cultivation in Ganhuai Temple who took me in. A doctor was invited for me, and he took care of me personally without taking any clothes off."
It is true that she is the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang, but her condition at that time was extremely bad. It seemed that she could not survive it. Even if she did, how many people dared to interfere with the depth of the Zheng family's water? You can know this by seeing how everyone in the city avoids it. People's hearts are revealed in times of crisis, so Mrs. Lu had nothing to ask for in saving her. She simply felt pity for a little girl who was suffering from smallpox and was very likely to die, and she couldn't bear it.
Mrs. Jingyun Hou had mentioned these things in the past, so Lin Fei had also heard about them, but since they appeared here today... Looking at the carriage that appeared at the end of the official road, Lin Fei narrowed his eyes subconsciously: " What is the situation of Mrs. Lu? How could she lead her to practice at such a young age?"
"It's always the dirty things at home." Mrs. Hou shook her head, turned to look at Lin Fei who was sizing up the two approaching carriages, and said, "You shouldn't look at it..."
The second son is good everywhere, but Xu has stayed in Dali Temple for so long that he looks at everything with scrutiny.
This kind of look does not scare others.
Mrs. Hou said: "Mrs. Lu is more than ten years older than me. How old are you now? Those old things about her have nothing to do with the case or anything. As for the reason why she led the monks to practice, she was an equal wife back then, so she took the lead. She gave birth to a daughter, which made the main wife unhappy, and she couldn't defeat the main wife's tricks, so she took the initiative to go to the nunnery to cultivate her hair."
It's not like he didn't know about infighting in the backyard. Lin Fei nodded and asked Madam Hou: "Why is she so good-natured and wants to be an equal wife to others?"
Although the Lin family does not have the habit of having three wives and four concubines, it does not mean that others do not. They don't necessarily have to be from powerful families, but they are also wealthy people among the people, and there are many who have three wives and four concubines. But he is a man, and precisely because he is a man, he knows that the so-called three wives and four concubines are unfair to women. In this world, I am afraid that no woman would be willing to be an equal wife or concubine.
"What is she going to do?" Mrs. Hou shook her head and said, "The person Mrs. Lu married was her cousin. After her parents died, the young Mrs. Lu was brought to her cousin by an old servant. The family took care of her, and when she was old enough to get married, she married her cousin as an equal wife."
When he said this, Lin Fei said: "Then Mrs. Lu must be an orphan but possesses a huge fortune."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Hou choked and moved her lips. She seemed to want to ask something, but looking at her second son's thoughtful expression, she finally sighed helplessly and said: "Just I know I can’t hide it from you!”
Lin Fei said "hmm", nodded calmly, and said, "It's not surprising! If he was really a kind-hearted person who was willing to take in an orphan, he wouldn't let her marry someone else's equal wife. The so-called concubine, ordinary wife What is going on with my wife? How can an elder who has been here not understand? Knowing that it is a pit of fire and pushing someone into it, you know that you are not a kind-hearted person."
These people must have some agenda when they are willing to take in an orphan girl. What is the most likely plot for an orphan girl? The wealth left by his parents is most likely.
"Looking at the idea of keeping Mrs. Lu at home and 'kissing her', she must have had the idea of making a fortune." Lin Fei said, "If I am not wrong, I am afraid that Mrs. Lu will get married in a good way." To be an equal wife with her cousin, something must have happened. That made a dwarf become an equal wife out of thin air."
The more Mrs. Hou listened, the more helpless she became. When Lin Fei's voice finally fell, she finally spoke helplessly: "You...there is really nothing I can hide from you."
This is the disadvantage of talking to the second son. You often just start a lot of things, and he will guess everything that will follow.
"Mrs. Lu accidentally fell into the water when she was old enough to get married. She was rescued by her cousin in front of everyone, and she married her 'savior' cousin." When Mrs. Hou said this, she rolled her eyes, " It was not an accident that she fell into the water. She was pushed into the water. She knew clearly that falling into the water was a trick of these people, but she couldn't explain it. The uncle and aunt even pretended to be benefactors, saying that even the wife was watching. The face of my loved one is so full, I hope she will know how to be grateful and repay her kindness..."
The more Mrs. Hou spoke, the angrier she became: "But it's not just the disadvantage of being mute. Outsiders praised her uncle and aunt for being kind people and taking care of orphans for so many years... The fact is that people are connected. Not only has she squeezed everything out of people and property, but she has also managed to gain a good reputation in the eyes of outsiders. Not mentioning her family wealth at all, the rent of the shop alone is enough to support not only Mrs. Lu, but also her uncle and She has enough for her aunt and her family. She still takes care of her? She is clearly sucking her blood and living a good life. But these people are used to acting like this in front of outsiders. If she has any dissatisfaction, it is that she is arrogant and greedy. , It’s so shameless!”
"Later, she gave birth to a daughter. She originally wanted to live a small life behind closed doors, but her wife was jealous, so she simply ran out to lead her to practice and no longer bothered with the affairs of her uncle and aunt's house." Mrs. Hou said, Looking at the carriage in front of him, he said, "Afei, don't think too much, there is no case here as you think."
Lin Fei moved his lips and said: "Then uncle, aunt..."
"Who cares about these things?" Mrs. Hou rolled her eyes and walked towards the carriage parked on the side of the road.
