A long time ago, an old couple lived in an unknown village at the foot of Huangshan Mountain. The old couple had no children and only adopted a man when they were in their forties, named Lu Lixia. After the old couple raised Lixia with great difficulty and married him a wife, Dad Lu died of illness.
The wife Zhang, whom Lu Lixia married, looked down on her mother-in-law, so she asked for trouble for her mother-in-law from time to time, and the mother-in-law was unwilling to tolerate her. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked against each other, and over time they became enemies.
Lu Lixia feels sorry for my mother, but she also cares about her daughter-in-law. When she meets her daughter-in-law and her mother, he will persuade her to fight, but this will not solve the problem at all. Gradually, Lu Lixia, who knew that something would happen, simply ignored the quarrel between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and just did the work she should do every day.
One day, Zhang had a big quarrel with his mother-in-law again. When he went to bed at night, Zhang felt that he was wronged, so he cried to her husband, saying that he was so angry with his mother-in-law during the day. Lu Lixia was upset, but he still endured his discomfort and listened to his wife's crying. Then he sighed as usual and said, "Then you just bear it. Don't be so idle with your mother. It's better to wait until she dies old and dies!"
Lu Lixia used words to comfort his wife, but what he didn't expect was that Li Shi actually took his words as true, and immediately asked Lixia angrily: "What, let me bear it? Your mother is in a tough body. I don't know how to die in the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month? When will I endure it?"
"Do you want my mother to die sooner?" Lu Lixia heard that what his wife said was wrong, and she bit her teeth so angry that she bit her teeth "chuckled".
"Yes, I wish she would die in a flash, what if that's the better?" Li was even more unhappy when he saw that her husband was also angry with him.
Lu Lixia may have been really angry with her wife this time, and she said with a dizzy look: "What's the problem with my mother who wants to die early? My mother has leg pain. When she gets sick again, you get some poison and put it in the medicine she drinks. Then..."
"What? I..." Before my husband finished speaking this time, Li was scared. She quickly interrupted Lixia and said: "Don't be careless. If the villagers know that we killed me, can we stay in the village in the future?"
"That's not what. Think about it, you and I have become enemies. This is What are the neighbors and neighbors know? If my mother is gone all of a sudden, and others don’t say anything, it would be strange if they don’t doubt it? Maybe they have to sue at that time, then it would be too late! "Lu Lixia said while observing her wife secretly. Seeing that her wife didn’t say anything, she said, "We have to be scrupulous, that is, we can’t let others say anything!"
Li listened to her husband's words, but she couldn’t think of a way, so she asked, "Little enemies, then how do you tell him how to die?"
"I want me to say that I will go to a faraway place to work in two days and will not be back a year later. How can you and your mother live at home in this year?" Lu Lixia slowly got into the topic.
Li frowned, and seemed very embarrassed, saying, "What, you have been there for one year? This year, only her and I were at home. Do you want me to serve her for one year?"
"Yes, I want you to serve my mother for a year, and I also have to serve her well." Lu Lixia said undeniably, "You serve me well at home, I will come back from work for a year, and we will be able to send me away when the time comes."
When I saw my wife wondering, Lu Lixia said again: "You serve my mother with delicious food and drink. If you come back, you have to accept it; if my mother scolds you, you smile; in this way, neighbors will praise you as a good wife. When I come back, bring some medicine. If my mother gets sick... By then, who would have thought that my mother was killed by us?"
"Okay, just do it!" Li was overjoyed, but in his heart, he scolded Lu Lixia: "You are unfilial, don't blame me for being cruel."
Two days later, Lu Lixia really left home with her luggage and the tools of work. Li did everything as her husband said, following her mother-in-law, and also served her mother-in-law with delicious food and drink, but she felt very reluctant. However, when she thought of her plan a year later, she endured it.
Let's talk about her mother-in-law, in order not to let her daughter-in-law have the upper hand, she had nothing to do to find her. It’s either throwing a basin and cursing a “mother” or smashing a bowl to train a “dog”. When I feel unhappy, I scold my daughter-in-law.
But what the mother-in-law can’t understand this time is that since her son went out far away, the daughter-in-law seems to have become a different person. Not only does she scold her but she listens honestly, but she also has a smile on her lips. Seeing her daughter-in-law like this, the mother-in-law muttered: What’s wrong with this little girl holding in her heart?
However, more than a month has passed since the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still not sincere in her abuse of mother-in-law, and she still served her mother-in-law as if nothing had happened. By the second month, the mother-in-law wanted to find a wife, but she couldn't bear to leave her old face. Later, the mother-in-law also had a smile on her face and began to feel distressed for her daughter-in-law.
Years and a half passed. That day, the pregnant Li Shiting Her big belly was cooking, and suddenly her stomach hurt hard. When the mother-in-law was panicked when she saw it, she braved the heavy rain outside and braved the wind and rain to find her midwife. Her daughter-in-law successfully gave birth to a fat boy. Her mother-in-law was so happy that she couldn't even close her mouth and made delicious food for her daughter-in-law.
The mother-in-law cooked eggs and grabbed the chicken to kill. At this time, her daughter-in-law Li quickly stopped her and said, "Mom, that chicken is for you to eat on your birthday. Don't kill it now. "But the mother-in-law didn't listen and killed the chicken on his own initiative. When it was time to eat, she brought a big bowl of fragrant chicken soup to her daughter-in-law.
As the saying goes, people's hearts are full of flesh. The daughter-in-law was drinking the chicken soup stewed by her mother-in-law, and her heart was warm, and she was so moved that she fell into the soup bowl with tears "just, buzz". Seeing that her daughter-in-law shed tears for no reason, she panicked again, "Oh, good wife, why are you crying so hard? Stop doing this, it will hurt your body. "When hearing the mother-in-law's heartache, Li was even more moved and burst into tears.
Time passed day by day. Li missed her husband Lu Lixia, and my mother was looking forward to her son. When it was okay, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would count the days together, hoping that Lu Lixia would come back early.
After finally waiting for a year, Lu Lixia finally came back. The family was reunited and very happy. Lu Lixia held her fat son and kissed her, and her mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law were busy in the kitchen. Lu Lixia glanced secretly and her heart became bright.
At night, Lu Lixia asked her wife: "How is it? After I left, have you done what I said? "Li said with a smile: "Of course! "
" That's good! "So, Lu Lixia responded and took out a pack of medicine from her bag and said to Li, "Look, in a few days you will add this pack of medicine to the soup and give it to your mother for drink! As long as I drink it, you will fulfill your wish and no one else will say anything else! "
When Li heard what her husband said, her face turned pale. She snatched the medicine bag and threw it into the fire. She blushed and said, "Children's father, I understand now. I shouldn’t have treated my mother like this before. Tomorrow, you can ask the doctor to see her and get the side medicine again! "
When Lu Lixia saw that his wife had burned the medicine, she suddenly held the wife's hand: "No need to ask a doctor, the paper bag you burned just now was not medicine. Look, this is the medicine I took for me. ”
Lu Lixia took out three bags of herbs from the bag and said with a smile: “Wife, tomorrow you will decoct the medicine for your mother! "Li relaxed and fell shyly in her husband's arms.
