Chapter 290: Antecedents and Consequences I
Don't say that Xiao Qingyue is in a hurry, Xiao Qinghua ingots are in a hurry, especially Xiao Qinghua, she, why is she not the daughter of the Xiao family?
"What are you in a hurry, let your mother talk to you slowly." Meng Shi saw that she was in a hurry and knocked her.
Xiao Qingyue said, "I'm not in a hurry, why do I think our family has so many things?" ”
"It's also my mother's fault for this matter. Back then, your grandmother's family was a little unhappy, and the year I was pregnant with the ingots, your grandmother had an illness, and it didn't take long for people to disappear. I think your grandma, and then she also had an illness, and people with bodies can't use medicine indiscriminately, so she endured it at first, but then she was really sick, so she asked the doctor to prescribe some medicine to eat. Just because my mother took medicine in her illness, your sister was born like a kitten, and she was gone within half a month of birth......"
Speaking of that girl, An cried with self-blame, it is common for a child to die in the countryside, but An Shi is not a taste in his heart, he always feels that he should not have taken medicine in the first place, otherwise the child will not survive.
Seeing this, Xiao Qingyue hurriedly said, "Mother, you can't say that, if you don't take medicine, won't you even die of illness yourself?" If something happens to you, then there is no such thing as that sister. Besides, it's not necessarily that you take medicine, don't you think ingots are good? Female babies are naturally more expensive than male babies, and it is not easy to raise. ”
"It's not rough." Meng Shi nodded, and said, "You go on." ”
An Shi wiped his eyes and said, "As for the matter of flowers, we have to start from two days before your sister's death, on that day your father went to the town to invite the doctor to come to the house as usual, and after the doctor showed your sister, your father sent people back to the town in an ox cart." But your father came back very late that day, and went out in the morning, and did not come home until it was dark, and brought back a large basket with things on it. We thought he bought something and came back, but he let you close the door as soon as he entered. That's when we learned that he had brought a child back. ”
"Tell me, this child belongs to your uncle, your uncle is a young man, and he is the first in our Shaoxian Xiucai, and later he was recommended by the county school to study at the Fucheng Official School, and your uncle will also accompany him over there. Your father said that the child was sent by your uncle himself, and he didn't say anything, but only gave us a sum of money to raise the child and find a good family to marry, and then there was no news, and even your grandfather died later, and he never came back. ”
An Shi sighed and said, "At that time, we all guessed that it might be that your uncle had an accident in Fucheng, and the matter of having an extra child in the family was silent for the time being. It's just that before we can figure out how to say one more to the outside world, your sister is gone, so the flower becomes your sister. The only ones who know about this are your father, your grandmother, and your grandfather plus me, and no one else knows, which made Xiao Caixiu misunderstand that the two are brothers and sisters. ”
Brothers and sisters can't get married, but in ancient times, it meant that brothers and sisters could get married.
And in ancient times, it was very common for brothers and sisters and cousins to get married, and modern people said that cousins are easy to give birth to fools, but in fact, it is not so coincidental, otherwise this practice would not have been passed down for thousands of years.
The truth is revealed, Xiao Qinghua is a little dazed, look at this and look at that.
"Mother ......" shouted a little aggrieved, Xiao Qingyue thought that she was blaming An's why she didn't tell her earlier, and if she told her earlier, she wouldn't have to be so entangled.
