When Qingmei said this, she frowned, as if she didn't want to say that she was beautiful.
But I still have to go on: "My parents loved me so much that they planned to keep me until I was eighteen. When I was young, I enjoyed being followed by my appearance, but I never thought that one day it would bring trouble to my family."
As she spoke, she smiled bitterly.
"When I was seventeen years old, a new county magistrate came to Linfeng County. His name was Qian Lianghui. He was born with the same Jinshi family at a young age and was not married yet. He was the son-in-law candidate in everyone's eyes. My family is not from the county seat, but from Linfeng County. I came from Hanjia Village around Feng County. Because my family is wealthy, I like to go shopping in the county. That day, I met Qian Lianghui in front of an embroidery shop in Linfeng County. I don’t know what he was thinking, so he asked about me everywhere, and then he knew that I We are already engaged, but we still have people coming to propose marriage."
At this time, Qingmei was talking, and no one interrupted her, letting her face alternately be immersed in memories with joy and sadness.
"If Qian Lianghui wants to marry me as his wife, maybe my parents and my fiancé's family will agree so as not to offend the official. But he wants to take me as his concubine. Unmarried wives take concubines first. , luckily he can think of it."
When Qingmei said this, her eyes were full of ridicule.
"My family is a landowner's home after all. Even if I am afraid of seeing the official, my parents love me, so how can they let me become a concubine, and it is someone like Qian Lianghui. In desperation, my parents declined him politely. , and he married me in a hurry. It can be said that from the first month when Qian Lianghui took office to the time I got married, it was only a month and a half."
"My marriage was the beginning of my misfortune. Qian Lianghui was angry and always found various reasons to come to my husband's house to make trouble. We had no choice but to move away secretly. But moving out also requires guidance. , the yamen didn’t help us, so we couldn’t move, so we had to move around in various villages in Linfeng County. However, this was equivalent to having no fixed place to live, and my husband’s family became dissatisfied and wanted to ask my husband to divorce me. At that time, I Now that I'm pregnant, my husband is devoted to me and doesn't want to abandon me like this. In desperation, I returned to my parents' home."
"But after I returned to my parents' home, I realized that my sister, who was only in her golden years, had been coaxed by Qian Lianghui. It turned out that he was attracted to me at first. When he came to propose marriage at home, he learned that there was another couple. After having twin sisters, he had other thoughts. Less than half a year after he took office, he began to recruit people for labor service. My father is the only male in my family, so he should not be used, but he still found reasons to take him away. After that, he did not It didn't take long for news to come that my father was hit by a stone and died on the spot while building a dam. My grandmother was so sad that she also passed away within a few days, leaving only my mother who was blinded by crying."
"After I returned home, I wanted to find the whereabouts of my sister. Qian Lianghui sent someone to find me and asked me to hand over the money at home. He just returned my sister. I knew this was a trick, but I was inexperienced at that time. What should I do? The people can't fight against the officials at all, and at that time, my mother's health was getting worse and worse, and she was about to die, and she was still thinking about her two sisters. I had no choice but to sell my property, and I just hoped that he would say I did it. However, on the day I gave the money, news came from my husband's family that my husband and father-in-law were also conscripted into hard labor and died outside. Like my father, they were stoned when building the dam. Come down and disappear on the spot.”
Qingmei burst into tears when she said this.
Originally, only one person per household was required to perform labor service. If your family is wealthy, you can use money to pay for it.
But that year, all those with boys in the family had to go, and they were not allowed to use money to replace them.
It was only afterward that she realized that the decision was made for her family.
The people present, except for the two young people, could hardly guess what was going to happen next when they heard this.
Especially Ou Kui who saved Qingmei.
It was completely unimaginable to her how helpless and hateful Qingmei would be at that time.
She was pregnant with Liujia, and all her relatives died. The two younger sisters were coaxed away again. In the end, they dispersed all the family property and failed to get the younger sisters back.
She was in such a state of embarrassment at the beginning, but she has not dared to show her true appearance to anyone these years. Perhaps Qian Tongpan was still trying to kill her.
Qingmei covered her face and burst into tears. After a long time, she said in a hoarse voice: "My mother's family is gone and my mother is seriously ill. I have no choice but to take my mother back to her husband's house."
"But my brother-in-law who had returned from hard labor was also afraid of trouble. He asked his uncle's family for support and said that I was a bad guy, so they kicked me out of the house. Fortunately, they were just afraid of being implicated by me, but they did not take my dowry and returned it truthfully. I had no choice but to take my mother to find my uncle's family. But they were also afraid of trouble and refused to meet me. "
No one knows how desperate she was at that time, and she wished she could die.
Fortunately, she still has a child in her belly, and she still has a dowry, so she can temporarily live off the sale of her dowry.
"My mother's health is getting worse and worse, and my belly is getting bigger and bigger, and I can't make ends meet every day. I not only have to take care of myself, but also take care of my mother, and I am exhausted every day. But at this moment, I spent In the place where I rented for five times the amount of money, people came to look for trouble every day. On the day I gave birth, no stable woman dared to help me deliver the baby. It was my mother who supported me and helped me deliver the baby with her eyes open. My baby had just been born. , someone came over again to cause trouble. The landlord who rented my house couldn't bear it and wanted me to move out without my money. At that time, how could I walk? My mother was in poor health and had to breathe. Hold on, plus my child is born again."
"Perhaps the conscience of the people who came to make trouble suddenly became unbearable and told me the truth. It turned out that the people who came to make trouble were all instructed by Qian Lianghui. They helped and secretly sent us away from Linfeng County and asked me to go back. Don't come back again. My mother couldn't bear it that day and died on the road. After that, because there was no road guide, I could only be a refugee, living in hiding in Tibet with my children. But there will be a day when I run out of money. , but the people who are looking for trouble for me are always there. Later, even my children left me..."
The emotional Ou Kui burst into tears when she heard this.
No wonder, over the years, Qingmei's face has always been calm, and she has no emotional ups and downs.
Su Mingshan, on the other hand, wanted to cut the money into pieces.
She had known for a long time that when those people searched for beauties, they would ruin countless people's lives, and how much ill-gotten gains he made while collecting money.
But this kind of thing happened to her Aunt Qing, and she couldn't stand it no matter what.
She must uproot Qian Tongpan.
That beast, countless people in Xinyang Mansion have suffered at his hands over the years!
Li Yuan looked at Qingmei's face and thought about her mother, then asked: "You have outstanding appearance. If you want to take revenge, it shouldn't be difficult for you as long as you are willing."
