"This big family is really bright on the outside but filthy on the inside. Probably only the so-called clan leaders and elders live a wanton life. The ordinary clan members live a very hard and unsatisfactory life. You can see this from your family." Jin Jing is a little bit. With emotion, he sighed softly and turned to look at Shen Cha. "I used to think that big families generally help each other. After all, everyone prospers and everyone suffers, but it seems that is not the case now."
"Some are, but some are not. We cannot generalize. However, we do not agree with the behavior of some prominent families in Jiangnan." Shen Cha looked at Ning Cheng, "Your father passed away? But what did the clan leader and elders do?"
"To tell you, General, my father died of illness and had nothing to do with the clan leader. In fact, to be fair, the clan leader was a relatively good person."
"A good person?" Jin Jing looked at him with interest, "I have kicked your family out, and how can I still get such a comment from you?"
"He also acted in accordance with the clan rules. Moreover, after we left the clan, he also asked people to provide us with money, which can be regarded as the most benevolent. On the contrary, those sanctimonious elders, who look sanctimonious on the surface, are actually They are not pretending to be sages, but they are full of male thieves and female prostitutes. What they think about every day is not how to write good articles, train students, and just do some deception." Ning Cheng sneered, and when he mentioned those elders, he His teeth itched with hatred, "But the patriarch is a good man. Although he removed us from the family, and although his views are very rebellious to you, he has been very good to our family. I still remember his kindness. of."
"Is it because of your father?"
"Yes!" Ning Cheng nodded, "My father used to be the patriarch's playmate when he was a child. According to their words, he was the patriarch's companion. The relationship between the two of them is very good. It's just that after they grew up, the two of them... Due to the difference in status and my father's illness, my father gradually moved away because he didn't want his brothers to worry about him."
"What is your father's disease?"
"I don't know, my mother never told me, and we didn't ask. I remember that my father had been suffering from illness for several years before he passed away. In my impression, he looked very skinny. His illness is very strange, and the doctor said that there is no cure at all and can only relieve his pain, but his death will happen sooner or later, so let us prepare in advance."
"Do you know what kind of disease it is?"
"I don't know. I can only describe how it looks like when he gets sick. It means that his whole body will be very painful. Once the attack occurs, he will faint from the pain. Sometimes, he will vomit out the food he eats, and he will also vomit blood."
"What's wrong with this?" Jin Jing looked at her sister, "It sounds familiar."
"My master said before that some people in this world will suffer from such a disease. It is an incurable disease. We call it rock, but it is not common. But once you get this disease, no matter what medicine you use, it will It’s useless, you can only endure it slowly until death.” Jin Miaomiao sighed, “This disease is very tormenting, not only physically, but also mentally. It not only tortures the patient himself, but also tortures the patient himself. Family. Many tragedies have happened to such patients. They feel that they are a drag and that living like this is simply worse than death. Therefore, such patients usually take advantage of their family members not paying attention to kill themselves. "
"Is it that serious?"
"Well!" Jin Miaomiao sighed, "My master has been in contact with several such patients, and they all had the same results. And..."
"besides?"
"Don't worry!" Jin Miaomiao sighed again, "In order to delay the pain of patients and allow them to live for a longer period of time, a lot of money needs to be spent. Many people with rich families have to pay for their family members' illness. Families that were relatively well-off suddenly became hard-pressed, and those who were already living a difficult life were even worse."
"This gentleman is right. The medicinal materials used for relief are also very precious and cannot be afforded by our family. But my father and mother did not want to trouble the clan leader, so they hid the illness. So at the beginning, He had a lot of attacks, and each time he was very uncomfortable. Later, the clan leader found out about it because the doctor who treated his father leaked the information."
"That doctor must have done it on purpose."
"I think so, but whether it's intentional or not, it's all out of someone's good intentions. We need to understand this. If it weren't for this doctor, my father would have passed away at least a year earlier." Ning Cheng smiled bitterly. "After the patriarch learned about my father's condition, he came to my house to see my father and made it clear that he must save my father's life no matter what. Although he is the patriarch, he is also my father's brother. He cannot just watch his brother disappear little by little. In this world."
"These words are indeed very weighty and responsible."
"Yes, so from that day on, the fees for seeing doctors and a large amount of precious medicinal materials were borne by the clan leader. My mother has always been worried that the clan leader would be negligent in this matter, but from the time my father fell ill, until he Before he passed away, the clan leader tried his best without any negligence, so no matter how the clan leader is, we cannot forget this kindness."
"It's just that after your father passed away, your family's situation took a turn for the worse, right?"
"This is inevitable, but the patriarch still takes care of my family. Otherwise, even though I went to clan school, I would not be able to study with the husbands of the children in the master's family, and those children would not look down on me because of my status. Later. Because my brother left home to study, my studies were not going well, and I even had to leave the family school to take care of my mother who could not accept the death of my father and became a little abnormal. The situation in our family was not very good. People who were still friendly to us because of the clan leader began to belittle, ridicule, and ridicule us, and even the elders began to attract my sister's attention."
"What didn't the patriarch say about these things?"
"It seems that during that time, the Ning family in Xijing City had some trouble. The clan leader rushed to the capital to deal with it. He was away from the family for a year or two, but when he came back he found out that this had happened, although the elders were also punished. , I gave my family some monetary compensation, but it was nothing painful. This made those people understand that the clan leader will not care about anything that happens in the future."
"So, they are acting more recklessly, right?" Seeing Ning Cheng nod, Jin Jing sighed, "Then was it the patriarch's idea to expel you from the family this time, or was it the elders' idea? As for the patriarch, it shouldn't be If he does this and the family scandal cannot be publicized, he is not afraid that you will come out and talk nonsense? Especially your mother..." He pointed to his head, "Something's not right."
"Of course it's the elders. Those elders have new goals, so they are preparing to deal with my sister. Originally, they wanted to kill her, but the clan leader couldn't get through. After all, there is still some friendship, and they won't do it because of it. If a woman goes against the clan leader, their interests are firmly tied to the clan leader and the family."
"So, they encouraged your former bastard brother-in-law to beat and kick your sister so that your sister no longer wanted to endure this kind of life and asked for divorce. This way they could achieve their goal without having to kill your sister. ,Yes or no?"
"Yes!" Ning Cheng sighed, "The patriarch didn't have the time to delve into these matters, so he directly issued an order to remove us from Chaozhou and ordered our family to leave Chaozhou within half a month. In order to prevent us from talking nonsense outside, the elder simply left Chaozhou. They sent people to hunt us down until we couldn't survive in Jiangnan. My mother didn't know about it, and my sister would rather endure her abuse than tell her what happened to her, let alone let me tell her. Because she has a bad mind, and if she is stimulated again, she may not do anything that we will regret."
"I understand!" Jin Jing sighed, "The reason why you came to the border is to avoid the pursuit of the elders, including wanting to leave Daxia. This is also the reason, right?"
Ning Cheng didn't speak, but nodded silently.
