Chapter 26 Mother's Story
Lu Qingyao turned around and went back tactfully.
Haven't reached the door yet.
Then Liu Yu Niang caught up with her, took her arm, and looked sympathetic.
"Sister-in-law, don't be sad. Jiang Yunze is a heartless person. Look, Brother Feng and Brother Yan are both filial. Even without Jiang Yunze, we can still live a normal life. When the two children become successful in the future, they may not be worse off than them. It's just that for the time being, there is no way to return to the days of luxury. You have to be more open-minded..."
Lu Qingyao was confused.
I had a vague guess in my mind that it might be related to the dragon gate formation at the entrance of the village.
"What did you hear, sister-in-law?"
Liu Yu Niang was a little surprised, as news spread quickly in the village.
What happened last night spread throughout the village early this morning.
"Didn't Brother Feng and Brother Yan tell you?"
Lu Qingyao shook her head.
Jiang Miaomiao stuck out her little butt, pricked up her ears and listened attentively.
It has been some time since I was picked up by my mother, but I have never heard her story in its entirety.
She was also very curious.
Liu Yu Niang glanced at Lu Qingyao to make sure she was not angry.
Then he continued, "Aunt Wang spread rumors everywhere yesterday, saying that you returned to Taoxi Village because you were divorced by Jiang Yunze, and also said...that Landlord Liu wanted to take you as a concubine..."
Lu Qingyao's face darkened.
She also thought that coming to Taoxi Village like this would inevitably lead to gossip.
But she really couldn't care less about that.
Unexpectedly, someone came out today to deliberately spread rumors and distort the facts.
No wonder my two sons were as well-behaved as little rabbits last night.
I didn't dare to make a sound.
But when she encountered such a thing, she couldn't see anyone, so she just pulled him aside to make an explanation.
The world is inherently unfair to women.
It is especially unfair to divorced women.
If I carry such a reputation, my future life will probably be even more difficult.
It is also very detrimental to the future of several children.
Lu Qingyao said calmly, "Sister-in-law, don't listen to their nonsense. Jiang Yunze didn't divorce his wife, nor did he divorce me. It's true that he took his second wife."
She wanted a divorce.
But if the daughter of a criminal were divorced and without a husband's family, she might be sent to exile or demoted to a government slave.
She left easily.
How would her children survive? How would she redress her father's case?
She only cares about her children and parents now. As for Jiang Yunze, he can like whoever he wants and make whoever he wants his co-wife. She doesn't care.
Just stay out of her way.
Seeing Liu Yu Niang's doubts, Lu Qingyao said, "Sister-in-law, there is no precedent for divorce or divorce with children in Daliang."
Liu Yu Niang suddenly understood, "Sister-in-law, is it because Jiang Yunze saw that your Lu family had fallen on hard times that she became ungrateful and disliked you, and sent you and the children back to make room for her new favorite?"
There are countless people like this, both in life and in novels.
He married a rich girl for the sake of his career, but abandoned her after he got to where he was.
My brother-in-law is such a person.
It took her half her life to understand that a talented person does not necessarily have good character.
On the contrary, ordinary people like her husband are rare good people.
Good husband, good father, good son...
Seeing Lu Qingyao lower her eyes and remain silent, she knew that she had guessed right.
Sure enough, that heartless guy could even embezzle his elder brother's hard-earned money. What else could he not do?
He is like a heartless man who abandoned his wife and children!
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I will explain it clearly to everyone. How can I let you bear the reputation of being divorced? It's all because of Jiang Lao Er who is ungrateful and abandoned his wife and children." Liu Yu Niang looked indignant.
He let go of Lu Qingyao's hand and walked quickly towards the village entrance.
Lu Qingyao lowered her eyes and looked at the little baby in her arms, and sighed deeply, "Miaomiao, do you also think that it's not good for mother to use aunt? But what she said is much more convincing than mother herself."
Humph! Mother did the right thing... Mother was not wrong...
Jiang Miaomiao shook her little hand.
I reached out to touch my mother's cheek.
She didn't think her mother was taking advantage of her aunt.
Most of what my mother said to my aunt was probably true.
No matter what the reason, a scumbag father is a heartless man who abandons his wife and children.
There is no doubt about this.
As for my aunt, my mother also helped her family a lot, both openly and secretly.
But my mother is a little too pitiful.
Even more pitiful than her, an abandoned baby.
When she was born, she didn't even know what her biological mother looked like, so there was nothing to be nostalgic about.
At worst, I'll die again and be reborn.
But my mother and her parents and family are thousands of miles apart and have no chance to see each other.
The only husband she could rely on also abandoned her.
Jiang Miaomiao's little heart ached.
......
A whole day passed.
Lu Qingyao was cutting grass and feeding the sheep and chickens as usual.
Cooking and feeding the kids.
Supervise his two sons to study and practice martial arts.
Jiang Zifeng took the initiative to study because he was afraid of making his mother unhappy.
After Jiang Ziyan finished his meal, he took the initiative to go to the yard to practice horse stance.
Jiang Miaomiao is the only one who doesn't have to do anything.
My mother said that she likes to see Miaomiao smile the most, and Miaomiao’s smile can heal her.
So, whenever her mother looked at her, she would grin at her.
The pink gums are exposed.
I just don’t know if the baby looks like a silly baby when he smiles like this?
At night.
The full moon is high in the sky, and the moon on the 15th is fuller on the 16th.
Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month.
Jiang Miaomiao couldn't tell where it was not round.
The baby, who had been worried and laughing all day, drank milk, pooped, and fell into a deep sleep.
The little baby actually has something on his mind.
"Auntie..."
"Auntie..."
It's the fourth watch, and the crowing of cocks begins to rise.
Jiang Miaomiao woke up because of hunger.
He opened his mouth and started crying.
Babies get hungry quickly and need to be fed every two hours.
I cried a few times, but my mother didn't respond.
Jiujiu told her that her mother had gone out.
Continue to cry at the top of your lungs.
She had to wake up her two brothers eventually, she couldn't stand being hungry.
The little boy sleeps really well.
No wonder I couldn’t wake up even with the alarm when I was in school.
She blew the trumpet as hard as she could.
Jiang Ziyan suddenly sat up and woke up his snoring elder brother.
"Brother, Miaomiao is hungry, get up quickly!"
Jiang Zifeng was a little annoyed. He slept so deeply that he didn't hear anything.
The two brothers quickly took out the goat milk from the silver pot.
I lit the stove, heated the milk, and then fed it to my sister.
After Jiang Miaomiao had eaten and drunk her fill.
Burping and looking around.
Where is mother? Where is mother?
Jiang Miaomiao was a little uneasy and refused to sleep.
Finally, he became a normal little baby, staying up all night with his two older brothers like a hawk.
I don’t know how long it took.
"Squeak..."
The door opened and my mother came back.
"Mom, my sister won't sleep." Jiang Zifeng's first words were complaints.
He looked at his mother with sleepy eyes.
Jiang Ziyan could no longer hold on and fell asleep on the bed.
"Miaomiao, be good. Mommy is back. Go to sleep obediently!" Lu Qingyao took off her coat and took the baby from her son's hands with a smile.
Holding the swaddling clothes in one hand, she covered her son with a blanket with the other.
Jiang Miaomiao smelled a scent of earth on her mother.
She actually wanted to know why her mother went out so late at night.
What were you doing?
