In the late autumn of 1930, the weather was crisp and clear, and the sounds of mourning could be heard from Licun in the distance.
I saw a woman (Aiju) crying bitterly, wearing mourning clothes, and several young men kneeling behind her.
Who knew! Aiju has three sons. Her eldest son (Shitou) is 13 years old, her second son (Tudui) is 7 years old, and her youngest son (Shui Shui) just turned 5 today. Faced with the tragic death of her husband, Aiju is heartbroken. Feeling cold and fearful.
However, the earth is still turning and life continues. What will happen to the sons? With all kinds of confusion, Aiju finally decided to go on.
Early the next morning, the sun rose in the east.
It brings a new life to Aiju. Feng Caizhu at the entrance of the village is recruiting long-term workers. Feng Caizhu, real name: Feng Gui, is 50 years old this year. He is stout, height: 1.70 meters, paranoid by nature, and has not loved since childhood. He is good at writing, loves to make friends, and is filial.
Aiju got the news and hurriedly applied for the job.
Unfortunately, she was spotted by Mr. Feng’s servant (Wang Ma).
Indeed, Aiju is hardworking, frugal and clever.
Time is passing by minute by second, and we are looking forward to the arrival of spring again.
Mr. Feng’s home was filled with loud gongs and drums, decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and he was preparing to welcome the newlyweds. His third wife was from Guangdong, aged 20 and 3, and lived in the north of Guangdong. His daughter was the daughter of an ordinary commoner family, and she was gentle and elegant. , pure-hearted.
Not long ago, Wang Ma arranged for Aiju to wash clothes for the third lady.
Aiju stood outside the door politely, knocked on the door, and shouted: Third Madam, the servant is here to take your clothes for washing.
The third lady opened the door and said: "Please come in (a few pieces of clothes to be washed are placed above the face plate)!"
Aiju stepped into the house.
As she grabbed her clothes to leave.
Somehow! The faceplate also fell down, and it hit Aiju's foot.
Aiju cried out with an "ah" sound.
Upon hearing this, the third lady hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously: "Be careful, are you hurt anywhere?"
Aiju felt extremely warm after hearing this. No one had said this to her for too long, she felt! She and the third lady seemed familiar.
Because of the Third Lady's considerate nature, Mr. Feng couldn't put it down and doted on her.
Therefore, she also attracted jealousy and suspicion from others.
On the first day of March, it rained lightly.
The hall of the Feng family was noisy, and the servants of the family were sitting around, chattering to each other.
Aiju is among them.
After a while, the third lady walked out of the back room.
Aiju greeted the third lady politely.
Then, Rich Man Feng walked over with the old lady on his arm.
Then, the first lady and the second lady also arrived one after another.
It was lunch time and everyone started eating.
On the table, Mr. Feng used the chopsticks on his left and the chopstick on his right to put dishes into the third lady's bowl.
The third lady looked around and shouted: Mom, old lady, two sisters, you guys also want to eat.
They said in unison: You eat!
In fact, they know in their hearts that their son and husband now love her far more than they love themselves.
After the meal, the two ladies encouraged the old lady to seduce the third lady.
The second lady said: The third lady doesn't understand etiquette. When she came here just now, she learned that her mother and husband were walking behind. She pretended not to know and deliberately walked faster.
After hearing this, the old lady smiled and said: What's this! It doesn't matter whether you arrive early or late.
The second lady then said: It’s different, it means she doesn’t follow etiquette.
The old lady replied: Forget it!
In a blink of an eye, the night has calmed down.
But it couldn't calm down, the fire of jealousy in the second lady's heart, at 22 o'clock, jingle, jingle, jingle..., the rhythmic bells were beating, the heart of the second lady could not sleep for a long time. .
She quietly got up, put on her clothes, turned on the lamp, and slowly walked out of the door.
There were two servants outside the door, one of whom was not asleep. He saw the second lady knocking on the eldest lady's door, and he put his head to one side and pretended to be asleep.
Early the next morning, it rained continuously.
Aiju arrived at the house early.
By chance, she bumped into the second lady's slave, Qiao'er (Qiao'er was 20 years old this year and timid), and she was about to go out secretly.
Aiju walked into the door of Feng's house. When the servant Dawang saw Aiju, he not only approached Aiju, but secretly told Aiju that someone saw her master groping into the eldest lady's room last night. He didn't know! What the hell are they doing!
Aiju hesitated and replied: Oh.
In the afternoon, the second lady’s slave Qiaoer came back.
Aiju was very curious and followed Qiaoer lightly.
She followed Qiaoer to the door of the second lady's room.
Qiaoer looked around and saw no one around.
She got into the second lady's room.
As soon as she stepped into the room, she closed the door.
Aiju sneaked over, and through the cracks outside the window, she vaguely heard it!
"Has it be done?"
"alright."
She deliberately looked into the back room through the crack in the door.
She saw Qiaoer take out a piece of paper.
She thought about it! Silently said: Qiaoer, what are you doing with the paper?
It was dinner time and everyone gathered in the hall to eat.
The second lady fell to the ground with a "yo" sound and said: The third lady pushed her (the third lady happened to be standing next to her).
"Sister, I didn't push you!" The third lady walked over to help the second lady.
The second lady pushed away the third lady's hand and said: You are a cat crying like a mouse, you are pretending to be compassionate, you are doing one thing overtly and another secretly.
The third lady looked helpless and said blankly: Second sister, what's wrong with you!
"Ask me! Who should I ask?" said the second lady:
Mr. Feng shouted: "Be quiet, sit down and eat."
The next day, it was not long before dawn.
The servants of Feng Mansion gathered more and more.
The steward (Bob) of Feng Mansion ordered: What are you doing standing there! The house supports you!
Before Bob could finish his words, the servants scattered in all directions.
Aiju picked up a broom...
"Wow! Wow! Wow..." This voice obviously came from the second lady's room.
Everyone came in droves.
The door of the second lady's room was full of people, and everyone looked at the second lady's room with the same look.
There are "death" charms on the second lady's bedside, in front of the dressing table, outside the window, and on the door.
Then there was another sound of "Wow! Wow! Wow...", which came from the eldest lady's room, and everyone rushed to arrive. Likewise, at the eldest lady's bedside and in front of the dressing table, There are also "death" charms for the eldest lady posted outside the windows and doors.
Everyone looked at each other and expressed confusion.
At this time, Mr. Feng and the third lady came.
Mr. Feng was full of doubts and asked for a detailed investigation.
"Where can I check it?" The second lady asked:
The third lady said: Otherwise, "search"!
The eldest lady and the second lady said in unison: "Okay."
In an instant, every servant's room was searched.
There are still two ladies' rooms and three ladies' rooms that have not yet been searched.
By the way, the old lady’s room was not searched either.
Mr. Feng said loudly: Go to the lady's room.
Everyone ran to the two ladies' rooms and searched them carefully.
However, no clues were found.
Mr. Feng had another thought! The rooms of the two ladies were searched! Only the third lady?
However, I slept in her room last night and didn't notice any difference in her room!
Old lady? The old lady is the elder.
Rich Master Feng ordered to search the third lady's room.
Everyone ran to the third lady's room and searched for a long time, but couldn't find anything.
When she was about to leave, the eldest lady's slave (Xiao Hong) found a stack of spells with characters in an old wooden box. It read: "Death" for the eldest lady and "die" for the second lady. .
The third lady was dumbfounded and quietly sat on the wooden bench "without saying a word."
The second lady was extremely aggressive and punched and kicked the third lady randomly.
Aiju rushed over to protect the third lady.
How can the second lady be willing to give up! Fight hard.
Financial Master Feng yelled "Stop".
The second lady stopped.
Aiju raised her head, stared at the second lady, and said: What are you doing! Don’t think that God is unaware and ghosts are unaware!
The second lady was stunned for a moment and shouted: You are still glaring at me, you servant, what are you talking nonsense about?
"Okay, don't mention this again!" Rich Master Feng waved his sleeves and walked straight out the door.
Slowly, everyone dispersed one by one.
The third lady and Aiju were the only ones left in the room.
The third lady hugged Aiju, confided her helplessness, and cried: It's not me, it's not me, I didn't do it.
Aiju patted the third lady's back with her hand and said: Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I understand, you haven't done it before, I believe you!
Immediately afterwards, Aiju talked about some of her dissatisfaction, saying: My husband is an alcoholic and has passed away. He has left three children. The family relies on me. I rely on me to get some leftovers and leftovers from your Feng Mansion. They eat, and...?
So, you have to be strong and you have to live strong.
She told the third lady everything she saw, and whispered: I have no evidence, I can't prove anything!
But I'm sure it wasn't your doing.
Besides, you have a kind heart.
From now on, please be more careful.
The next day, the sun shines brightly.
Rich Man Feng appointed Aiju to be the maid of the third lady.
When the third lady saw Aiju's arrival, she was filled with joy and waited to sit down politely.
Aiju saw the third lady being so polite! Bowed and said: Third Madam, you are welcome!
"I have to thank Third Madam! Thank Third Madam for letting me be your maid! Let me!" Aiju thanked:
The third lady replied: Actually, you have nothing to thank you for! I have no relatives here! I don’t understand many of the rules here, let alone people’s hearts?
I hope you can teach me more in the future.
Like yesterday! if not you! I can't control it at all.
if! If you don’t mind, we will treat each other as sisters...
"Don't dare! Don't dare! How dare I climb so high?" Aiju shouted:
The third lady then said: Sister, I am a few years younger than you, so I can call you this!
Aiju was speechless, hugging the third lady and smiling non-stop, muttering "good sister, good sister, good...".
