Chapter 119 You Are My Mother
Over the years, the family has been supporting Dalang's studies. Dalang is also liked by the teacher and is the teacher's favorite student. He will definitely be able to pass the examination and become a scholar.
This time, something unexpected happened at home, so she and her old man went to the school specifically, hoping that Dalang would drop out of school and return home to take care of the family. The teacher tried to persuade him to stay, saying that Dalang was a good student who studied hard and it would be a pity to give him up.
The last time Dalang came home to visit them, he said that the teacher had waived half of his tuition, and that he was working part-time in the school, and that he didn't have to pay for food and accommodation...
They gave up and let Dalang study hard. If the Wang family wanted to make a comeback, the only way was for Dalang to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar.
The third son's wife curled her lips in dissatisfaction. "He hasn't passed the exam to become a scholar yet. Now our life is so hard. Dad, Mom, let me say this, but before Fifth Brother came back, we couldn't control Jiang. Now that Fifth Brother is back, the situation is naturally different. How can you really ignore us? Dabao and Erbao went to school a few days ago. Our fourth and fifth sons are much older than them. They have always wanted to go to school but didn't have the money. Fifth Brother and his family should send our fourth and fifth sons to school at the same time..."
Mrs. Wang Liu suddenly became unhappy again.
This time, even Old Man Wang was unhappy.
But there was nothing they could do, and in the end they all sighed in unison.
When Wulang heard that he was being sent to school, he quietly slipped out.
He doesn't like going to school.
He didn't care at all that he had no money to go to school.
Since Dalangge was able to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, is he still worried that he will not have enough food to eat in the future?

By the evening, Jiang Cheng was in a daze again.
She needs help with eating, bathing, sleeping, and preventing her from yelling and crying.
Jiang Lianzhu did not give up, and even her little girl Bao cheered for Jiang Chengshi.
On the second day, I started the circulating bath treatment again. After soaking for an hour, I began acupuncture.
After the acupuncture, Jiang Lianzhu woke Jiang Cheng up, and this time she stayed awake longer.
Moreover, when Jiang Cheng woke up, she did not cry as much as she did yesterday, and she still retained the follow-up memory of the treatment the day before.
On the third day, I continued with the same bathing and acupuncture treatment...
Day 4…
Day 5…
After persisting for six or seven days, Jiang Cheng's condition improved greatly and he was able to stay awake for a day.
Jiang Lianzhu didn't have enough medicinal materials, so she stopped giving her medicine for two days and went to pick and collect herbs, and to check on Jiang Cheng's condition.
I’m worried that her body won’t be able to handle the injections every day.
After stopping the medicine for two days, one night, in the middle of the night, Jiang Lianzhu heard Jiang Cheng's crying and screaming in the guest room.
She thought he was sick again, so she quickly turned on the lamp and went to check.
Wang Laowu also woke up and stood up, ready to go with her. Jiang Lianzhu said to him, "You go to sleep, I'll go and check it out. It's okay."
My daughter sleeps next door. Once the child falls asleep at night, she won’t wake up even if there is thunder, so there is no need to check on her.
Wang Laowu continued to lie down.
This situation has happened several times. Just comfort him and it's fine. It's not a big deal. I don't need him anymore.
Jiang Lianzhu went over with an oil lamp and saw Jiang Cheng lying on the bed crying with tears streaming down her face.
He asked softly, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Zhu'er, mother dreamed about your childhood..." Jiang Cheng raised her eyes and said with tears in her eyes.
Jiang Lianzhu felt relieved, she thought it was just a madness attack.
It turns out it wasn't, it was just a nightmare.
She followed Jiang Cheng's words and joked, "What happened to me when I was a child? Did I act naughty and make my mother angry? She cried like this."
Jiang Cheng was amused by her.
"Although you were naughty as a child, you weren't this naughty. Your two brothers were even naughtier. How could I be angry with you? My memory is getting worse and worse. Firstly, it might be because of my brain disease. Even after being cured, it's not as good as before. Secondly, I'm getting old. It's hard for me to remember many things from the past."
"It's okay, everything will be fine after you live well." Jiang Lianzhu comforted.
Jiang Cheng wiped her tears again, and suddenly her expression became serious. "Zhu'er, I've been thinking about something, and I've decided to tell you now while I can still remember it. I'm afraid that in the future, my brain might not be working well enough and I won't be able to remember it."
Jiang Lianzhu didn't think it was a big deal. She sat on the edge of the bed and just tried to be a good listener.
"Mom, you talk, I listen."
Jiang Cheng bit her lip and rubbed her hands nervously. "Zhu'er, no one knows about this. Not even your father or your brother. Mother has kept it in her heart and never told anyone about it."
Jiang Lianzhu became more alert. It seemed that it was really a little secret that even Jiang Qingcai and the others didn't know about.
"What's that?"
Jiang Chengshi seemed to be unable to speak, "Zhu'er, you are not actually your parents' biological child..."
"Ah?" This was really surprising. "Then where am I from?"
This is something that the original owner had no memory of.
Jiang Cheng was lost in her memories. "Back then, my mother did give birth to a daughter and named her Zhu'er. At that time, your father was fooling around outside and didn't come home. He didn't care about us mother and daughter. Your brothers were also not at home. There was no money and no food at home. The newborn daughter was thin and weak because she didn't have enough to eat. She had a fever in a few days. We had no money to see a doctor, so she died of illness. I felt bad, so I took her to the outskirts of town to bury her.
On my way back, I found a living abandoned baby girl on the roadside. I thought God had taken pity on me for losing my daughter and had given me another one, so I took you home. Your father and your brothers didn't even notice, and I couldn't tell your father. If I had told him, you would have died and been abandoned again. You are a good daughter given to me by God, and you are my all. I couldn't live without you. Fortunately, you grew up well, and those who shared the hardships with us have also grown up..."
Jiang Lianzhu blinked.
Damn, is it so bloody and tortuous?
"Did anyone come to see me afterwards?"
Jiang Cheng shook her head, paused briefly, and then shook her head again. "No, but I can't guarantee it. My brain got worse and worse, and I don't remember anything. Anyway, I can't tell your father or your brothers. I must protect my Zhu'er... Blame me for bringing you back, but then not letting you live a good life. You have to endure beatings from your father and be a burden from your brothers. Zhu'er, now you know your life story. You can go find your biological parents. I don't blame you."
Jiang Lianzhu smiled, "I'm not looking for you. If they lost me, they just don't want me anymore. Why should I look for you? You are my biological mother. I just want to take care of you in your old age and let you live a good life. I can live a good life on my own now. I have a husband and three good children. I'm not a child anymore. Why should I look for my biological parents? It's not worth it. In my heart, you are my biological mother!"
