Chapter 92 Who is my enemy who destroyed my entire family?
In the Tai family courtyard, everyone was busy discussing this matter, and they were talking about it excitedly, especially the women.
Women understand women's hardships best. Think about it, Mrs. Zheng's husband is an official working outside. Although the family has enough food and supplies, he has to raise a child alone and is sick, so he must have suffered a lot.
Auntie San from next door was sitting under the eaves cutting radishes and sighing, "Getting married is like a woman's second life. If you don't get it right, you'll suffer for the rest of your life."
"Yes, so we have to keep a good eye on the girls at home. Not to mention finding a good home for them, at least we should make sure they don't fall into the fire pit." Another woman responded.
Some people also praised the third aunt, "Your daughter-in-law is so lucky. After she came home, you never scolded her or said a word. Even in this day and age, she even gets to eat eggs during her confinement. She is so blessed!"
The third aunt's face was full of smiles. She replied, "If you are envious, then help my second son find a wife. As long as the girl is willing to marry me, I will definitely feel sorry for her."
Everyone laughed and clamored to marry their nieces from their mother's family.
Liu Dongniang brought a plate of dumplings out from the kitchen. Just as she was about to go into the house, she was seen by the women. Someone asked, "Dongniang, are you making something delicious for Zhuzhu again?"
Liu Dongniang smiled and replied, "Yes, Zhuzhu didn't sleep well last night and didn't eat much this morning. Make something delicious so the child can eat more."
The third aunt responded, "If we talk about the most blessed, it's Zhuzhu! Not to mention her own mother, her aunt actually loves her even more than her own mother does!"
"That's right, we were just talking about reincarnation, and Zhuzhu is the best reincarnation!"
"Zhuzhu is such a well-behaved child. Anyone who sees her wants to love her."
Everyone was talking and laughing, secretly looking at the plate of dumplings and swallowing their saliva.
Liu Dongniang felt a little regretful. She should have found a ceramic bowl with a lid to store the dumplings.
But it was too late to regret, so she replied vaguely, "She's my only daughter, so I should love her a little more. If she grows up and marries far away, I won't be able to love her even if I want to."
"That's right. I'm really worried about my daughter marrying far away."
"My daughter doesn't want to marry far away, so she'll find a husband in a nearby village."
"That's what I thought."
The women changed the subject and Liu Dongniang hurried into the house.
After a nap with Zhuzhu, Young Master Zheng finally regained some energy, but his face was still pale and the blue veins under his eyes were clearly visible.
Liu Dongniang didn't know how to persuade him, so she just smiled and handed him the chopsticks, asking him to eat more.
Young Master Zheng thanked her, picked up a dumpling and gave it to Zhuzhu, then slowly started eating.
Zhuzhu's little face was red from her sleep. She sat in her aunt's arms, picked up some dumplings and asked her aunt to eat them, and then she ate them happily.
Liu Dongniang lovingly combed the fat girl's messy braids and smiled gently.
Young Master Zheng would occasionally look up and see it, and he would inevitably think of his mother. He would quickly lower his head to eat dumplings to suppress the soreness in his nose!
At this time, Tai Jizong rushed back from the town.
Master Tai San stopped him outside the courtyard gate, asked him a few simple questions, and then used a large broom to carefully scratch his front and back for a long time, especially under his feet, as if he wanted to scrape off a layer of mud, before letting him into the yard.
Aunt Tai San was fond of joking. She looked at him from a distance and shouted, "Second brother is back. Are you looking for your wife? She's in the west room!"
The women all covered their mouths and laughed. Tai Jizong didn't know how to explain it, but he used this as an excuse to quickly go to the west room.
Young Master Zheng had just put down his chopsticks and immediately got up when he saw Tai Jizong.
"Second Uncle Tai? You...my family..."
When he was anxious, he spoke haltingly.
Tai Jizong felt sorry for his son as his family had to go through such a big change at such a young age, but he still had to say what he had to say.
"Your entire house was burned down. Except for you... no one was left alive. The police have started investigating, but everyone thought you were dead too! Some of your uncle's friends arrived and took the money to handle the funeral. My father and the clan members are helping with the arrangements."
Although he had known the result for a long time, Young Master Zheng still couldn't accept it when he heard the exact news with his own ears.
He moved his mouth a few times, wanting to say something, but suddenly his eyes rolled back and he fainted!
"Young Master Zheng!" Tai Jizong took it and called his wife, "Go find your sister-in-law, we won't persuade her!"
Liu Dongniang ran away, and Tai Jizong put Master Zheng on the kang.
Zhuzhu was rarely frightened and even pulled the pillow to cushion Young Master Zheng's head.
Yang Lihua was originally in the east room, checking the income and expenditure of the past few days with Tai Yongning. When she heard the noise, she hurried over to help.
Young Master Zheng was pinched on the Ren Zhong point and quickly regained consciousness. Before he could speak, tears began to flow like a spring.
Perhaps he knew that this was not his home, so he could only grit his teeth and sob, not daring to cry out loud.
Everyone in the Tai family felt distressed when they saw this and sighed sadly.
Yang Lihua patted his back gently, and even Zhuzhu came forward to help wipe his tears with her chubby little hands.
Young Master Zheng cried even harder. After all, he was only ten years old and was just a half-grown child.
Yang Lihua gently advised, "Cry if you want to, but be strong after you're done. People can return to the human world on the seventh day after death. We'll find a way for you to go and pay your respects to your mother then."
"You have to eat and sleep well, and don't ruin your health. You can't let your mother miss you so much that she can't reincarnate and stay here as a lonely ghost. Right?"
When people are in despair, what they lack most is an idea.
