Chapter one hundred and seventy seventh feud
"I'm afraid your parents won't tell you this, for nothing, I'll tell you. ∏∈," Shen thought about it and said, "It's a big grandfather who is too impatient for this matter..."
Shen took a silver hairpin from his head and picked up the candle wick. The flame jumped for a while, causing the figure to sway. When the flame was stable and narrow, the candlelight became brighter.
Ji Xiaotang listened quietly to Shen’s recounting the past.
The Mu family is the daughter of Mrs. Ji Er. When she was at home, she was spoiled like a bell of eyes and married to Qingyuan. Although it was a bit inconvenient to get along, they often communicated with each other.
Mu Hong was afraid that Mrs. Ji Er would suffer grievances in the Ji family and would not tell them good news but not bad news. Therefore, he also asked someone to convey the news about Mrs. Ji Er for him.
"Your grandfather's marriage is the decision of your grandfather, and your grandmother has never been willing from the beginning. It is said that our Mu family is a rude martial artist, and your mother is too spoiled and is not suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the Ji family. It's just that your grandfather insists, and your father likes your mother and is unwilling to withdraw from the marriage. Your grandmother has no choice but to nod and let your mother come in." Shen told Ji Xiaotang.
And these are just the reasons why Mrs. Ji said it.
In fact, Ji Xiaotang knew that there was also the reason why Mrs. Ji did not agree with this marriage.
At that time, Mr. Gu had already lost his family and was moving to Qingyuan to join the Ji family. However, at that time, Mu Hong was already a deputy family. According to the grade, he was a fifth-rank official position. Mu Hong was generous and had a wide range of friends. When it comes to this marriage, it was said that the Ji family finally met a marriage that was of equal status.
There is quite some content in this sentence.
The Ji family was able to compare it with the Mu family at that time, that is, Mrs. Ji's parents' home, and the wife's home where Mr. Ji had already been engaged but had not yet passed.
The Gu family and the Zhou family are both small families, not only empty-handed, but also well-off.
Old Mrs. Ji was already a little worried, and when she heard people say this, she felt more uncomfortable.
After Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er got married several years later, although there were some other reasons (it was related to Master Ji, and Shen refused to explain in detail in front of Ji Xiaotang), it was mainly because Mrs. Ji was interfering.
Master Ji regretted getting married, and later married his wife who came in, and the wish of Mrs. Ji was not as good as Mrs. Ji. The more Mrs. Ji wanted to choose a wife she liked for Mr. Ji Er.
However, Mr. Ji insisted that Mr. Ji liked Mr. Ji again and refused to withdraw from the marriage. In the end, Mrs. Ji entered the Ji family's door.
When Mrs. Ji Er entered the door, she began a life of being picked and troubled by Mrs. Ji. Fortunately, Mrs. Ji could suppress Mrs. Ji, and Mrs. Ji Er also dealt with Mrs. Ji Er. Mrs. Ji Er herself was cheerful and broad-minded, and life was still acceptable.
Later, Mrs. Ji was pregnant, and Mrs. Ji took Mr. Ji to Beijing for the exam. Only Mrs. Ji was the head of the family at home. Mrs. Ji's life was really sad.∮,
"Your mother refused to tell us, but it was your grandfather's friend who asked about it in Qingyuan. I couldn't bear it and told us..."
Mrs. Ji Er is pregnant, but Old Mrs. Ji asks Mrs. Ji Er to come to her every day to set rules, and she always gives Mrs. Ji Er a look.
"I also met your grandmother before your parents got married. At that time, I thought she was a little bit unfaithful, but she was not a person with a bad heart. Who knew that she would come up with those ways to deal with your mother, who was still pregnant with your sister..."
Shen refused to say in detail, and only selected two examples, saying how Old Mrs. Ji was trying to get married to Mrs. Ji Er who was pregnant. Although Shen said it briefly, Ji Xiaotang felt cold on his back and a fire ignited in his heart.
However, in front of Shen and Mu Hong, Ji Xiaotang remained calm, but his eyes became darker and unsightly.
However, Shen sensitively sensed Ji Xiaotang's emotions. She held Ji Xiaotang's hand and patted it gently.
"It's over, and your mother has never complained in front of you, right? Don't take it seriously, after all, she is your relative's grandmother. Life still has to be passed. Xiaotang, you are still young, but remember your grandmother's words and look forward."
Ji Xiaotang nodded to reassure Shen.
"Later we found out that your grandmother was also urged by others."
"Who urged her?" Ji Xiaotang asked, and there was a vague answer in his heart.
"Who else can be there? Isn't it the old boy of the Gu family and his sharp-fanged demon woman!" Mu Hong said, his tone still not resenting.
"Often, your father protects your mother, and your grandfather doesn't let your grandmother tamper with you. In your grandmother's heart, everyone is looking for your mother. When your mother is pregnant again, she is encouraged by her brothers, for fear that your mother will be noble by her son. After she becomes a mother-in-law, she loses her status at home. She wants to conquer your mother while your grandfather and your father are not at home."
Although Mr. Gu and Jiang did this to please Mrs. Ji, they also had their own selfishness.
Without further ado, Shen’s explanation, Ji Xiaotang has been seen in his eyes.
"After that, your mother grew older, but she became thinner and thinner. She fainted several times while setting rules for your grandmother. Not only did your grandmother refuse to invite a doctor, but she also scolded your mother for being a scheming, saying that she wanted to use the child in her belly to control her as her mother-in-law."
Ji Xiaotang nodded secretly. Old Mrs. Ji could do this kind of thing. It was not necessarily because she really wanted to kill Mrs. Ji Er, but it was just because of her stubbornness in nature.
"Your mother was in good health, but she was suffering from this kind of temper. She couldn't eat well and sleep well, and was depressed. Therefore, your sister was born prematurely. ()"
It was at this time that Mu Hong and Old Lady Ji had a conflict.
Mrs. Ji Er gave birth prematurely and felt pain in the house. Old Mrs. Ji thought it was still early, so she didn't believe it at all. She just thought that Mrs. Ji Er had come up with this trick to fight against her, so she refused to invite a midwife to Mrs. Ji Er, and asked Mrs. Ji Er to continue to set rules with her.
Mrs. Ji Er had been in pain for a day and a night, and she felt that she could not stand it anymore, so she was willing to beat someone and sent a message to Mu Hong and Shen.
At that time, Mrs. Ji Er's idea was not even asking Mu Hong and Shen to save her life, but she wanted to see Mu Hong and Shen again before she died.
Mu Hong and Shen learned the truth from the sender. The two of them couldn't sit still and hurriedly packed up, so they rushed to Qingyuan County.
At that time, Mu Jiaying was working in the foreign affairs office, so Mu Hong took Shen and Mu Jiahao. Shen could not ride a horse, so he could only ride a carriage. Mu Hong was worried that his daughter could not wait, so he asked Mu Jiahao to take care of Shen's carriage. He first took a few personal soldiers and rushed to Qingyuan County with a fast horse.
Afterwards, Mu Hong broke into the gate of Ji's mansion without passing the notice. Seeing Mrs. Ji's second wife was almost dying, Mu Hong was heartbroken and furious, so he went to discuss with Mrs. Ji.
At the door of Mrs. Ji, Mu Hong met Mrs. Gu.
Mu Hong recognized Mr. Gu, but he didn't answer Mr. Gu at that time, so he used his old fists to Mr. Gu.
Uncle Gu was beaten and hid in Old Lady Ji's house. Mu Hong didn't pay attention to where he hit someone (even if he paid attention, he probably wouldn't care), and then rushed into Old Lady Ji's house.
Old Mrs. Ji was with Jiang at that time. How could she have seen such a scene? She was so scared that she almost fainted.
Uncle Gu was beaten and was not honest. He shouted in Mrs. Ji's house and said something like beating someone to death.
The people outside couldn't see the situation in the room clearly, and heard Mrs. Ji's screams, spreading rumors, saying that Mu Hong beat Mrs. Ji.
So, did Mu Hong really beat Mrs. Ji?
"It would be better if she really hit her a few times, but she was afraid she would be honest later." Mu Hong said angrily.
"You didn't hit her, and later she made a fuss like that. After all, our daughter suffered a loss. If you really hit her, then there would be no way to deal with it." Shen said angrily to Mu Hong.
Mu Hong hummed angrily, but he didn't argue with Shen.
Shen did not hide anything from Ji Xiaotang, nor did he hide it for Mu Hong.
Mu Hong beat Mrs. Gu in front of Mrs. Ji. Jiang rushed to stop her and was also fisted by Mu Hong. As for Mrs. Ji...
Mu Hong grabbed Old Mrs. Ji's head, raised her fist high, but she did not fall down in the end.
However, when Shen brought Mu Jiahao to Ji Mansion, things could no longer be handled.
Uncle Gu was beaten into a pig's head, and Jiang's nose and face were also swollen. It was said that Mu Hong broke into Mrs. Ji's house and not only beat Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Jiang, but also beat Mrs. Ji.
Old Mrs. Ji is seeking death.
However, neither Mu Hong nor Shen cared about this.
"Your mother gave birth prematurely, plus difficult delivery..."
Mu Hong and Shen immediately beat someone to invite Wen Po and the doctor, saying that they would invite him, but at that time, Mu Hong was almost crazy. He asked the servants who knew the road to lead the way, fought soldiers, and captured almost all the doctors and Wen Po in the city to the Ji Mansion overnight.
Mu Hong also said at the time that if Mrs. Ji Er had any flaws, everyone in the Ji family, together with the doctors and the Wenwo, would have to pay Mrs. Ji Er's life.
"It's all your grandfather's personality, so he was crazy at that time." Shen said, his tone still gentle.
Mu Hong turned his face away and only snorted from his throat.
Thanks to Mu Hong and Shen’s arrival, Mrs. Ji’s physical foundation was good, and the joint efforts of all the doctors and stable wives, Mrs. Ji finally gave birth to Ji Xiaoyun.
Although Mrs. Ji Er shed a lot of blood and Ji Xiaoyun was like a kitten, after all, both mother and daughter saved their lives.
"At that time, your sister was born, only the size of your grandfather's palm. She couldn't cry for a long time, and her little face was purple and purple..."
Mrs. Ji Er was exhausted at that time, but she forced herself to suck the miscellaneous things in her mouth. Only then did Ji Xiaoyun cry in her first cry in her life.
"Even when we cry, we were like a kitten who was not full moon. At that time, we were afraid that she would not live for a full moon."
After saving Mrs. Ji Er and Ji Xiaoyun, Mu Hong and Shen lived in Mrs. Ji Er's yard.
Later, Mu Hong had to leave for an errand, but Shen continued to stay until Ji Xiaoyun was in full moon. Ji Xiaoyun was able to survive the full moon, and Ji Second Mrs. could still get pregnant with Ji Xiaotang again, thanks to Shen's careful care every day without any clothes being untied.
In the past month, Mrs. Ji Er and Ji Xiaoyun's bodies were stable, but Shen lost weight. All the clothes she brought at that time seemed empty when she wore them.
"Grandmother..." Ji Xiaotang leaned his head into Shen's arms.
Shen hugged Ji Xiaotang and gently stroked Ji Xiaotang's head.
Speaking of this past, her eyes were already wet.
During the period when Mu Hong and Shen were in the Ji family, there were clear barriers in the Ji family. On one hand, there were Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Jiang, and on the other hand, Mrs. Ji Er. Mrs. Ji didn't care about Mrs. Ji's affairs at all. Mrs. Ji Er responded to the food, clothing and expenses, and Mu Hong and Mrs. Shen took the money to arrange for someone to purchase them.
This situation continued until Mr. Ji and Mr. Ji Er returned from the capital.
Old Mrs. Ji and people from all over the Ji family said that Mu Hong beat Old Mrs. Ji.
Old Mrs. Ji was seeking death in front of Mr. Ji and Mr. Ji Er, and was irreconcilable with Mu Hong, and she had to divorce Mrs. Ji Er. She must not be a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with the daughter of the man who beat her.
No matter how excessive Mrs. Ji did it, if this matter is confirmed, it will be difficult for Mu Hong and Mr. Ji to meet.
Mu Hong meant that he simply took Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaoyun back to the city and divorced with Master Ji. If he said that he was divorced, women could not take the children away. But it didn't matter for Mu Hong. He really wanted to take Ji Xiaoyun away, even Mr. Ji could not stop him.
However, Master Ji Er was begging hard, and Mrs. Ji Er couldn't bear to let Master Ji Er go.
Old Master Ji met Mu Hong.
"...It's a rare gentleman." Mu Hong said to Mr. Ji, "When he saw me, he was just as he had ever done, and he only apologized to me, saying it was his fault."
If Mr. Ji had a worse attitude or a little bit of blame for Mu Hong, it would be easier for him to deal with him. But Mr. Ji was like this, and Mu Hong lost his temper.
The final result is that both sides take a step back.
Mu Hong and Shen left the Ji family, and Mrs. Ji stayed.
Mr. Ji said it very clearly. The Ji Mu family is still good in-laws. However, no one can ignore Mrs. Ji's stubbornness.
The Mu family almost cut off contact with the Ji family, which was a tacit understanding reached with Mrs. Ji and the price for the happiness of Mr. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er.
Later, Old Mrs. Ji snatched Ji Xiaoyun to raise her. Mu Hong learned the news and wanted to go to Qingyuan to make decisions for Mrs. Ji, but Mrs. Ji refused to let her go.
"She doesn't want to see me, would I want to see her?" Mu Hong muttered.
If Mu Hong is Old Lady Ji’s nightmare, then Old Lady Ji is the woman who makes Mu Hong the most headache and hates the most.
"It's over, it's over." Shen waved his hand gently, as if he had brushed away the shadows of the past. "For so many years, the grandchildren have grown up, and we are getting older. When we go to Qingyuan, remember to be more gentle and give her a gift."
