After a single night’s sleep, Cui Xue transmigrates into the body of a foolish romance-obsessed woman in a retro-era novel. The original character was framed and lost her innocence, leading her to ...
Chapter 58 Liang Dani
The next day, the third uncle came over and was stunned for a moment when he knew that Cui Xue was going to go too. But when he saw what they had prepared, he had nothing to say.
He had brought a lot of things himself, and when he saw the two big bags of things Cui Xue and the others had prepared, he really couldn't carry them all by himself.
Cui Xiongnian borrowed a bullock cart, loaded the things and set off in a hurry.
The two cousins were not married nearby, and one was in the east and the other in the west. If they wanted to go back that day, they would have to hurry, and it would probably be very late when they got home.
So Liang Xiaoying also prepared some clothes for Cui Xue to change, and told her to stay at her cousin's house for one night if she couldn't come back in time.
On the way, the third uncle drove the ox and Cui Xue sat in the cart. He asked about the two cousins.
"Dani is a diligent and filial child. When your aunt was pregnant with your cousin, she not only had to do housework but also farm work. She also raised Erni by herself, when she was not very old."
Speaking of the cousin, the third uncle couldn't help but sigh.
There was no need to say more. Cui Xue also knew how difficult life was for the cousin as the eldest daughter in a family that favored boys over girls.
"Er Ni is a strong-willed girl. When she was little, she liked to quarrel with your eldest cousin. Later, your eldest aunt beat her up, and she hated her mother and her brother."
"When they grew up, Dani was proposed to first. The man was older, had children, and lived far away, but he offered a large gift, so your eldest aunt agreed without a second thought. Dani did not resist, but Erni exploded."
Speaking of the past, the third uncle's tone was a little regretful.
"In order to prevent Da Ni from marrying such a person, Er Ni quarreled with her family and was beaten half to death by your aunt. When Da Ni came to us to save Er Ni, her face was full of tears and blood. When we went there later, Er Ni was already dead."
Cui Xue listened and her fists were hard. She didn't expect her aunt to be so cruel. After all, she was her own daughter.
"When Er Ni was lying in bed to recuperate, Da Ni was taken away by the man's family. Er Ni recovered from her injuries and was sent to marry before she could even wait for the quarrel."
No wonder Liang Xiaoying didn't say anything when talking about them, and didn't let her ask more questions. Whoever talked about this past would be heartbroken.
Two good girls were treated like this by their own mother, and they, the relatives, didn't know how to help.
"Uncle San, how did you know where your cousins got married?" Cui Xue asked.
"Your eldest uncle told me." The
only one in the first house who had a little conscience was probably this eldest uncle. After all, they were his own daughters. He felt sad that they were married off in such a hurry.
The second and third houses and Liang Xiaoying heard about this and ran to ask about it. The eldest aunt refused to say anything. Only he wanted to know how his daughters got married, so he told them secretly.
Under the pressure of his wife, he could not go to see the two daughters, and could only pin his hopes on his brothers and sisters.
"Then what about my cousin's in-laws..." When
the third uncle heard her ask this, he was silent for a long time. Cui Xue understood that it was probably not a good thing.
"Dani is the stepmother. The child is still young and can't remember his mother. He is close to her. Life is not very good, but not bad either. It's just too poor."
Then there was another silence. Cui Xue knew that the second cousin had a strong temper and her in-laws would naturally not like her. Her life would probably be even harder.
I dare not imagine what kind of life the second cousin will live in her in-laws' house. Without her natal family as a backer, she has to fight alone. If she encounters a bad in-laws, she will inevitably be beaten.
Cui Xue closed her eyes and didn't want to ask more questions.
The ox cart traveled for more than two hours before finally arriving at the eldest cousin's village. Cui Xue saw that there were not only adobe houses, but also thatched houses. You can imagine how poor it is.
But the good thing is that the adobe house where the eldest cousin's in-laws live looks newly renovated.
If they have time to repair the house, they should be living a good life.
As soon as the ox cart arrived at the door of the house, a boy of about six years old, leading a little boy of two or three years old, was walking out of the house, and there was a voice behind them.
"Da Dan, don't take your brother to the river. Play for a while and then go home for dinner!"
"Got it, Mom!" The six-year-old boy turned around and responded.
When he turned around again, he saw Cui Xue and the others. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who are you?"
"Are you Da Dan?" The third uncle hesitated for a moment and then asked.
"My name is Li Zhifeng." The six-year-old boy had a stern face, and his serious look made people want to laugh.
"Okay, okay, Zhifeng, is your mom here?"
As soon as the third uncle finished speaking, Dadan turned around and shouted into the house, "Mom! Someone's looking for you!"
After shouting, he ran away with his brother, and the third uncle and Cui Xue didn't even have time to call them.
"Who is it? Who's looking for you?" At this time, a woman in her thirties walked out of the house, and she stopped immediately when she saw the third uncle.
Cui Xue took a look and saw that she looked so much like her eldest uncle. She didn't need to guess that it was her eldest cousin.
"Is it the third uncle?" Liang Dani trembled her lips and asked in a trembling voice.
"Hey! Dani, it's the third uncle!" The third uncle answered loudly and happily.
After a long excitement at the door of the house, Cui Xue and the others finally entered the house.
As soon as they entered the yard, looking at the old but tidy and clean house, they knew that the hostess of the house was a hardworking person.
There was no one else in the family except Liang Dani. Her husband had gone out to work, and the two children had just gone out to play. She was the only one left because she was not feeling well today and had asked for leave to rest at home. Her
third uncle knew that she was not feeling well and showed concern for her, but she smiled bitterly and said that she was pregnant again.
"Life is already very difficult with two children at home, and this child... comes at the wrong time."
It was obvious that she was also reluctant to part with the child. Her third uncle and Cui Xue were both silent, and they did not want to interrupt the child's affairs.
"Let's not talk about me anymore, who is this girl?" Liang Dani quickly calmed down her emotions, looked at Cui Xue and asked her third uncle with some confusion.
"Your aunt's concubine Cui Xue, don't you remember her?"
"It's Xiaoxue? She's so big now!" Liang Dani looked at Cui Xue in surprise, a little bit unbelievable.
Cui Xue was only 13 years old when she got married, and Liang Xiaoying rarely went back to her parents' home throughout the year, so the cousins had few opportunities to meet each other.
Now that she had met her unexpectedly, if her third uncle hadn't told her, she wouldn't have recognized Cui Xue at all.
"Big cousin." Cui Xue called her a little embarrassed.
"Xiaoxue is eighteen this year, right? Do you have a boyfriend?"
"My parents introduced me to a boyfriend last year, and we are still dating."
"Aunt and uncle have very good taste, so I think they are good people. By the way, are they in good health?"
"They are all fine, grandpa and grandma are in good health too, they miss you very much."
Liang Dani couldn't keep the smile on her face when she mentioned that the old people of the Liang family were fine, tears welled up in her eyes instantly, and her eyes were full of sadness.
