Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 514 The Past
"Because the master lived away from home, after his death, with the intervention of the old lady, the young lady and Brother Shi were left alone. Fortunately, several loyal housekeepers rushed back and forth, and the funeral of the master and his wife was completed."

"At this time, people from the Jiang family came. They asked the young lady to fulfill her marriage to her uncle, but the young lady refused on the grounds of filial piety. But the Jiang family did not agree and insisted that the young lady get married immediately in three months, otherwise they would file a lawsuit with the Dong family. Let the Dong family compensate for the betrothal gift."

"Of course this was all on the surface, but privately they threatened the young lady with the real brother's life. The young lady had no choice but to nod her head and agreed. After observing filial piety for her parents for three months, the young lady married into the Jiang family."

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Jiang's uncle is not a good guy at all. He already has more than a dozen concubines, not to mention those girls who live with him. On their wedding night, he didn't even step through the door of the lady's room. Instead, he gave her a Another girl, Mai Xiang, slapped her face. Isn’t this a slap in the young lady’s face?”

"Maixiang couldn't bear the humiliation, so she hit the wall and died to prove her ambition. The young lady never shed a tear because of her situation, but she went to Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang because of Maixiang and demanded justice from the Jiang family."

"But... the Dong family has an upright family tradition. There are no concubines, no disputes between concubines and concubines, and the young lady has grown up pampered by the master and his wife. How can she know the twists and turns of surviving in the back house? One can imagine the result. What will you get in exchange for making trouble? In exchange for a beating."

"It was late autumn at that time. The young lady was beaten to pieces, but the Dong family did not ask the doctor to treat her. Then they drove the young lady here, leaving only the old slave and Daoxiang waiting around. All the companions that the young lady brought were all He was sent away, and his dowry and everything else were taken away."

"There is nothing here. The sky and the sky are not responding, and the earth and the earth are not working. The young lady was injured, and she could only eat sour food. The injury became more and more serious, and she is now like this."

"One time, Daoxiang went out to beg for some rice for the young lady, but was bullied by my uncle's concubines. My uncle even had the idea of ​​taking Daoxiang's house away. Later, the young lady forced her to die, so my uncle failed. "

"We have endured half of the winter here, and the Chiang family finally showed their wild ambitions. At first, they asked the young lady about the treasures that the master brought from overseas, and then directly pressed them."

"Of course the young lady didn't say anything, but how could anyone withstand such a torment? I was so angry that I vomited blood several times. If it weren't for Brother Shi, the young lady would have endured so hard that she wouldn't dare to leave until the oil ran out. Today, the young lady I’m afraid he’s already gone.”

"Perhaps in order to wait for Brother Shi to throw himself into a trap, or to prevent others from taking advantage of Miss, they have set up many traps in this yard. Lao Nu and Daoxiang often accidentally trigger the traps, and the man in gray soon He’s here, but because Lao Nu and Daoxiang always look terrified in front of him, he looks down on us, so he doesn’t even know that we know where the agency is.”

"The Dong family really bullied people too much. First, they forced a marriage during the filial piety period, then they were insulted on the wedding night, and then they were treated harshly in the past few months... Finally, I found out that they were also after the baby. We are in such a worrying situation. , and Brother Shi is only six years old, we thought he..."

Speaking of this, Dong's mother burst into tears. These days are really too painful.They are not afraid of hard work as slaves, but how can the young lady endure this hardship?

They saw the pain in their eyes and wished they could bear it for the young lady, but they were powerless. Even if they wanted to exchange some carbon for the young lady to drink hot water, they had to pluck the stuff off the young lady's head and sell it.

Yu Qinghuan listened silently, feeling wet in her heart. Finally, she said calmly: "I know all what grandma said. To be honest with grandma, I am here because of the things that Mr. Dong brought back."

Mother Dong wiped her tears: "Miss, we Sister Sui and Brother Shi don't care about those things. Just because we know it is important, we have been hiding it from others. Now that we can use it to save lives, why should we be reluctant to part with it? ?”

Yu Qinghuan said: "Don't worry, mama, Dong Shi has suffered a lot, but he is very strong. We met him at the junction of Yanzhou and Xuzhou. It turns out that he also knew that Dong Sui was in danger, and he went all the way north hoping to Find someone to rescue his sister."

Grandma nodded: "That child is different from other children. He is quite precocious."

Yu Qinghuan said: "I heard that grandma's talk is extraordinary. Have you read any books?"

Dong's mother said: "I'm not afraid of making you laugh. My wife comes from a family of farming and reading. Her natal family is famous for its poetry and calligraphy. Her father is a scholar. Although he did not continue the scientific examination, he has very strict requirements for my wife. Therefore, my wife is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting." He is as proficient as a young lady from a wealthy family." "Brother Shi's father was also impressed by Madam's talent, and he went to great lengths to marry Madam back home. The old slave served Madam all his life, so naturally He knows the words."

Yu Qinghuan said: "I see, Dong Shi's studious and studious temperament must be the same as that of his late wife."

Mother Dong nodded: "Miss, you are right."

Yu Qinghuan asked again: "Is grandma's surname the same as the master's surname?"

Dong's mother replied: "Yes, after the dowry came to the Dong family, because the old slave's original surname conflicted with the master's family name, he took the master's family name."

Yu Qinghuan asked: "Although it is very inappropriate for me to ask this question, can you tell me when the Master and Mrs. Dong passed away?"

Aunt Dong said: "Miss married into the Jiang family in August last year, and the master and his wife passed away in May last year."

Yu Qinghuan said: "According to what you just said, the Dong family faced great difficulties before his death. So is there no one left in the Dong family?"

Aunt Dong shook her head: "I don't understand the specific situation, but I feel that although the Dong family is in trouble, there is not anyone available. At that time, many Zhuangzi had people, and they were managed by several housekeepers. Now they should be all I gave it to brother Shi."

Yu Qinghuan did not continue to ask further. She asked this question because she was worried that Dong Shi was lying and claiming that he had seeds when he didn't have them. But let Changsun Tao worry about these matters!
"Mommy, how much do you know about the Xue family?"

Mother Dong shook her head: "Miss, I have only seen Master Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, as well as my uncle and several of his concubines. I don't know anything about the others."

Yu Qinghuan's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she slowly closed her eyes: "That's enough, Nanny, I will take care of the Jiang family's affairs, don't worry..."

Hearing that Yu Qinghuan's breathing became even, Mother Dong gently tucked her into bed, and then bowed seriously.

Daoxiang whispered: "Mother Dong, can Miss Miss really be saved?"

Mother Dong lay down next to her: "Daoxiang, you have been suffering these days. We finally waited for the day when brother Shi came. Miss, she will be saved."

But how to solve the current dilemma?They couldn't even get a drink of hot water, let alone a full meal.

Can this young lady whom my brother calls "Sister Chu" really change the situation at hand?Will he be like the young lady, unable to fight back?
