The girl had a high fever, and the two took the girl for treatment in a nearby town. During this period, Xiao Qi kept going out to inquire about the girl's parents, but there was no information.
Later, the girl regained consciousness but lost her memory. She regarded Xiao Qi and the original owner as her parents. Looking at the beautiful girl, the original owner thought that her family background must be good, otherwise she would not be raised so well, even in When fleeing, the material of the clothes is also very good.
I don’t know what kind of mentality he was in, but the original owner immediately agreed to the girl’s call to her as her mother. Facing her husband’s doubts, the original owner’s explanation was that they had not had children for three years after they had been married, and Xiao Qi was unwilling to take a concubine. She wanted a concubine. child.
Xiao Qi was soft-hearted, and the two regarded the girl as their own daughter, naming her Xiao Junqiu and nicknamed An An, hoping that she would have a safe life.
At the beginning, the original owner really loved Xiao Junqiu as his own daughter. Because Xiao Qi's old injury relapsed, the family of three settled in Youfu Village. Because Xiao Qi was an easy-going person, he usually wrote letters to the villagers for free and wrote letters to the villagers for free during the holidays. He wrote couplets, so he was quickly accepted by the simple villagers.
The family of three spent four years in this village. Xiao Qi was almost healthy. When they were about to leave for S city to find their relatives, the original owner became pregnant.
A huge surprise enveloped her, because she was weak and pregnant, they decided to stay for another year.
Although she has a child of her own, the original owner still has deep feelings for Junqiu, whom she has raised for four years. In order for the two children to get along well, the original owner often told Junqiu that she was about to have a very cute younger brother or sister, and they would be together in the future. will be the closest existence.
But the happy days are always so short. As the reaction during pregnancy becomes more and more serious, the original owner will always be afraid when she sees her husband teaching her daughter to read, read and learn Spanish, fearing that the child in her belly will follow her and become unintelligent. , so that the husband doesn’t like it.
She was afraid that her husband would prefer Jun Qiu, who was not related by blood, and she increasingly believed that Jun Qiu would dilute the love of her children.
In this overthinking situation, the original owner's attitude towards Jun Qiu was also erratic. Xiao Qi saw that something was wrong with the original owner, but he had no choice but to take the original owner out to relax.
This situation lasted until the original owner gave birth. After giving birth to her son, she felt that she had completed her task and was a qualified Mrs. Xiao. She devoted herself to her son.
It wasn't until one day that her husband, who went to the county town to buy walnut cakes for her, encountered heavy rain on his way back, slipped and fell into the water, and was found lifeless. The original owner woke up from the state of having a child and everything.
When the original owner was not married, she relied on her parents and brothers for survival. After she got married, she devoted herself to her husband. The only decision she made in her life was to accept Jun Qiu as her daughter.
Now that her husband has passed away and her parents are no longer around, she doesn't know how to survive with a seven-year-old child and a newborn baby.
She couldn't accept the fact that she had no one to rely on. She was confused all day long. She didn't want to wake up. Once she woke up, she had to face the fact that she had killed her husband.
Until one day, she saw Jun Qiu taking the walnut cakes given by Aunt Wang, and suddenly thought, yes, she doesn't like to eat walnut cakes. It was Jun Qiu who loved to eat walnut cakes, and it was Jun Qiu who killed her husband, not her.
Her husband died, and she only had her son. This was her husband's only heir. She must raise her son so that her husband's incense would not be cut off.
From that time on, the original owner began to cheer up, but although she had managed the house before, she had never worried about her livelihood. She was used to spending money lavishly, and she soon spent all the money at home.
At that time, the original owner had given up her desire to go to City S. In such a turbulent situation, she did not dare to leave Youfu Village at all, so for future considerations, she buried the jewelry gold bars under the pomegranate tree in the yard.
At first, they supplemented the family income by making cakes and sewing clothes. As their son grew up, the village allocated a piece of land to them, which officially recognized their identity.
Jun Qiu saw that the original owner would cry with grievance every time he went to the fields, so he consciously took on the work of opening up wasteland and farming. The original owner never thought about how such a small child could withstand the scorching sun. She only thought that she had raised this child for so many years. , her husband also died because of the child's willfulness, which Jun Qiu owed her.
When Xiao Sanli was very young, he relied on Jun Qiu, who brought him up. The original owner was afraid that his son would not be close to him, so he always separated the two of them intentionally or unintentionally, and told Xiao Sanli that if it weren't for Jun Qiu, a loser, their family would not be so poor.
If Jun Qiu hadn't been willful, he wouldn't have been without a father.
Over time, Xiao Sanli became very hostile to Jun Qiu.
The original owner was delighted to hear this, and she thought that now her son was hers alone.
Later, Young Master Xiang, who was engaged in fabric business in the town, came to Youfu Village and met Jun Qiu. He wanted Jun Qiu to keep him company, but Mrs. Xiang, who always disliked people with muddy legs in the countryside, actually agreed.
He also invited Aunt Guihua to come and lobby. At this time, the original owner was reluctant to leave Jun Qiu.
She has always heard that it is not easy to get a wife in this world, and Sanli has been disfigured by smallpox. She is afraid that Sanli will have no wife in the future and will not be able to pass on her husband's legacy, and she does not want Jun Qiu to leave.
The original owner told Aunt Guihua the truth, and when Aunt Guihua spread the word, everyone realized that Jun Qiu was not a biological daughter of the Xiao family, but was picked up to be a child bride for a boy from the Xiao family.
Jun Qiu didn't believe this and came to ask the original owner. The original owner told Jun Qiu everything about her escape and told her that if it weren't for finding a doctor for her, Xiao Qi would not be hurt. If it wasn't for finding her biological parents, , Xiao Qi will not run out with an injury that has not been healed, thus leaving old illnesses.
After learning the truth, Jun Qiu became even more silent. Later, Aunt Guihua came to the door again and told the original owner that she had gone to the temple to offer incense a few days ago. She remembered that Xiao Qi had taught her children to read and read, so she also prayed for Xiao Sanli. The hexagram indicates that there is a disaster star living in the Xiao family. Because of that disaster star, Xiao Sanli lost his father and became sick.
The original owner, who was already brooding about her husband's death, became increasingly resentful of Jun Qiu. She believed that Jun Qiu's arrival took away her husband.
Later, because of the young master of the Xiang family, his son was targeted by children in the village, so the original owner sent Jun Qiu to the Xiang family as a maid.
After Jun Qiu left, the fields at home were abandoned, and the original owner was not engaged in production. He could not support Xiao Sanli's education expenses by relying solely on embroidery, so the box under the pomegranate tree became increasingly empty.
Until when Xiao Sanli was fifteen years old, he wanted to go to the provincial capital to study. The original owner pawned the last piece of jewelry and sent his son to the provincial capital. Who would have thought that Xiao Sanli was indeed lame when he came back, and he never recovered from the fall. The high spirits of the past.
The original owner was crying all day long, not knowing what to do. Suddenly one day, Xiao Sanli proposed to marry and only wanted Junqiu to be his wife. The original owner realized that she once had a daughter named Xiao Junqiu who was asking for a wife. She was a maid in the mansion, and although Jun Qiu would ask someone to bring money back every year, since Jun Qiu left for Xiang Mansion, the original owner had deleted this person from his memory.
