I don't know when, but the snow stopped.
The moon outside was big and round, and its light shone on the snow, making it a white expanse, so that you could see the road clearly even at night.
After sending Hu Zi back, Chen Yunyun moved a stool and sat down under the plum tree in the yard.
Viewing plum blossoms at night has a hazy, dreamlike beauty.
The fragrance of plum blossoms is intoxicating; if you stay under the tree for a while, your clothes will be covered with its cool, refreshing scent.
Chen Yunyun took out Rong Yan's small cauldron, the fire went out, and Chen Fengjiao was trapped inside. The demon attached to her body had been completely eliminated.
Chen Yunyun couldn't understand why Chen Fengjiao would be so ruthless, even going so far as to make a deal with the devil and willingly offer up her own soul.
"Zhijun and I grew up together, and you all stole everything that belonged to me!"
"I did nothing wrong, you all deserve to die!"
"I don't regret it, I did nothing wrong..."
Chen Yunyun looked surprised. Recalling her time with Chen Fengjiao, she realized that Chen Fengjiao had indeed paid special attention to Xu Zhijun.
Chen Yunyun was even more confused. She never expected that Chen Fengjiao would make such a scene for a man? And a heartless scumbag at that?
She interrupted Chen Fengjiao's delirious ramblings, "You're wrong, terribly wrong!"
Chen Fengjiao's eyes were bloodshot, and her ruthlessness was chilling. "My mistake was not killing you sooner."
The blood at the corner of Chen Fengjiao's mouth had already congealed. She could feel that she didn't have much time left and didn't know if she would ever see Brother Zhijun again. She hated it so much!
Chen Yunyun shook her head as she watched. Chen Fengjiao had been completely fooled by a man, and even on the verge of death, she remained obstinate. Out of kindness, she decided to help Chen Fengjiao see the man's true colors.
"You said you and Xu Zhijun were childhood sweethearts?"
"Ridiculous! Don't you know why your mother-in-law took you in? Don't you know why Xu Zhijun didn't?"
"Besides, Xu Zhijun got married before you. If he really liked you, wouldn't he have come to propose?"
"He doesn't like you at all. He's only with you because he thinks you're easy to fool."
Chen Fengjiao covered her ears, her voice hoarse, "I won't listen! You don't understand anything! Brother Zhijun has his reasons!"
"Oh right, he had his reasons, and he even had three kids with another woman. He's so shameless!"
Chen Fengjiao's sharp nails scratched the transparent cover, but were bounced off by the restrictions on it, and she spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Tsk tsk, save your energy."
"After spring next year, I'll take you to see your brother Zhijun and see if he has his reasons or if he's a real scumbag."
"Then you'll realize how stupid you've been."
Chen Yunyun accepted the small cauldron; she felt no pity for Chen Fengjiao whatsoever.
In the original novel, Chen Fengjiao did quite a few bad things as well.
Chen Fengjiao was deceived by a scumbag. What is the relationship between the original owner of this body and these three children? What gives her the right to incite the original owner to abuse the children?
After talking with Chen Fengjiao, Chen Yunyun was somewhat depressed.
In the original story, the three children were abused in the village for ten years. They were only freed when the eldest child turned sixteen and set fire to the village.
The original owner was like a persistent leech, always sticking to the children and threatening to report them if they didn't take care of her.
The eldest child, who had long since turned evil and could no longer tolerate it, together with his younger siblings, ended the original owner's short life.
She couldn't imagine how the children had spent those ten years.
These dolls, whom she cherished dearly, in another time and space, could only endure cold and hunger, and were bullied by everyone...
Once inside, the eldest child was still sitting in front of the kerosene lamp, engrossed in reading a copy of "Han Feizi".
Under the lamplight, the young face possessed a composure and calmness beyond its years.
Thinking of the ending of the eldest child in the book, Chen Yunyun couldn't help but say, "Arun, promise your mother something."
The eldest child raised his head, his dark eyes reflecting Chen Yunyun's image. "Mother, what do you want to say?"
"No matter what happens in the future, stay calm and rational. You can come to your mother. If your mother isn't by your side, you must use the law to protect yourself. Do you understand?"
The eldest child, who had been resting his hand under the book, gripped the pages tightly. "Mother, what do you want to say?"
Being too perceptive in children is not a good thing.
Chen Yunyun could only make up a lie, "I'm just worried that you won't know your own strength when you fight with other children in the future."
The first constitution of China was promulgated in 1954. Chen Yunyun happened to have a copy of the book she had bought on the street. She took it out from the pile of books and stuffed it into her eldest child's hands, saying, "When you have nothing to do, take a look at it and memorize it more."
I pulled out another book of quotations, the little red book standing out brightly. This is the symbol of this era; if you can memorize the quotations, you won't have to worry about anything when you're out in the world.
Although Xujia Village is remote, it will be affected by the large-scale educated youth going to the countryside next year.
It remains to be seen whether the villagers, young and old, will be able to adapt to the outside world.
After soaking their feet in hot water, the family of four went to bed.
At the Zhang family home, Hu Zi had also washed his feet and gone to bed.
Since Tiger's mother lost a part of her soul, her temper has improved a lot, and she doesn't speak as harshly as before.
Besides hunting in the mountains, Zhang the hunter stayed home to take care of her, and the couple's relationship grew stronger and stronger.
The family of three lay on the bed, with Tiger sleeping in the middle, and they began to talk about what had happened at Chen Yunyun's house.
"My godmother's family is so rich. The roasted goat smells amazing."
"I ate a few lamb chops. They were meaty and had some kind of seasoning that my godmother made on them. They were so delicious! Much better than my mom's cooking!"
"I want to eat at my godmother's house every day!"
Just one meal was enough to completely win over Tiger.
"Why did I always think my godmother's family was poor? They were clearly the richest family in the village, even richer than mine!"
