"Affirming cultivation and affirming righteousness, right?"

"It seems like these two names. I can't remember...... The two sons, the eldest son, Shen Mingxiu, is the ancestor above our room, and Shen Mingyi is the other room. My mother said that it may be that there are too many dead daughters, and it is not good for Shenmingyi. There is a saying that she doesn't know where she heard adults say it when she was a child...... That is, the child of Shenmingyi is actually twins, and there is a baby girl. When Mr. Baby Girl came out, her grandfather's grandfather was so angry that the midwife showed him the baby girl, and he waved his hand and hit the child on the ground, and the child was out of breath. ”

"The baby girl died?"

"Yes, that's how it should have died. This matter has been circulating for a long time. ”

"So, what about the affirmation?"

Shen Mingyi was still in his stomach at the time. The midwives were frightened and a little ...... This is what some people said later. When my mother said this, she said it in the same tone. Some people in the family should think that the ancestor was patriarchal, and the twins came out of the girls first, and he didn't know that there was another one in the belly. Shen Mingyi has been holding it in his stomach for a long time. When my mother told me at the time, she also said that the mother didn't dare to cry because she was trembling with fear, and the mother was disgusted with filth, and she was not very polite. In the courtyard, I could hear the old ancestor scolding his wife—or maybe it wasn't his wife, I don't know too well—and the midwife was screaming in the house. After tossing for a long time, Shen Mingyi was born and his body was weak. The old ancestor felt that it was the baby girl who bullied Shen Mingyi in her stomach, and he was even more angry, and he also hurt Shen Mingyi very much, and indulged. Our ancestor Shen Ming Xiu was an elder brother, because of his father's attitude, he was educated to take care of his younger brother since he was a child, and his own brother was just like that, and he was also very righteous in accordance with Shen Mingyi. ”

"Hmm."

Shen Mingyi later gave birth to a son, and the family was very happy. But when the son was about to get married, a serious illness, maybe tuberculosis or something like that, seeing that it was going to be bad, there were problems with marriage or something, and the family was very anxious. ”

"That person's name is Shen Changshou?"

"Yes. Yes, it's called this. My mother said she was wronged. The baby girl in the twins died like that, and Shen Mingyi was not in good health, so he died after leaving a son. The wife stayed in the Shen family, which was considered chastity at that time...... The family is very spoiled by Shen Changshou. It's not that no one complains about this matter. Affirmation ...... It may be a bit disrespectful to say this, but he should be a little foolish and filial, and he has been educated to take care of his younger brother and pass on the family lineage since he was a child. His wife wasn't like that. His children weren't like that. A man who loves his nephew more than his own son is always criticized. ”

"Hmm. In this way, the two families are actually not harmonious? ”

"It can't be. Small contradictions and small frictions are always ongoing. As far as my mother knew, her grandmother would often complain about the house next door, thinking that they had swallowed the family's property, and would say some vicious things, thinking that they were just iniquities, that they had shortened their lives, and that they had broken their lives. ”

"Hmm. You just said that Shen Changshou had a serious illness before getting married. ”

"Yes. At that time, I was superstitious, so I invited someone to tell fortunes, dance gods, and drink talisman water...... This is my mother's exact words, what exactly she did, in fact, she should not be very clear. I've also thought about the matter of Chongxi. My grandmother was called in to help with the wedding. According to my mother, this is also something she often complains about below. At that time, he was so tired that he was in a dark place, and everything was ready, and Shen Changshou's uncle jumped out and said no, and the fortune teller they invited said no. The marriage is tossed, and it is also tossed to see a doctor for Shen Changshou. When the dust settled, he first held a family recognition banquet for Shen Changshou and recognized him as a distant uncle as a godfather. The distant uncle was a newborn baby...... My grandmother had a lot of complaints. Because of this recognition, behind the scenes, the ancestor should have given Shen Changshou a lot of benefits to the rental side, and he must have paid for it, as well as some other benefits. ...... in this regard"

"What do you have to say?"

"Just a guess. I also listened to the rest of the story, so I had this guess. At that time, it was a war year, and there were conscriptions and food requisition. There should be a relationship on our side of the family. What exactly is not clear. But on the side of Shen Changshou's grandfather, his own uncle joined the army and became a petty officer as soon as he entered. That's for sure. This is probably the most dissatisfied part of my family. It stands to reason that this path should have been my grandfather's at that time, with the right age and suitable physical fitness. But in the end, it fell to an unrelated in-law...... There may be many more similar things. Contradictions always accumulate. This unfairness...... It should be quite common in families with many children. ”

"Hmm."

"That's about it. Shen Changshou recognized his relatives, and later got married and gave birth to a son and a daughter. He was in better health than his father, and he lived a little longer. But the ancestor passed away during that time, and our two families separated. There should also be some injustice in the separation. I don't know the specific contents, and my mother doesn't know either, but I just heard that the ancestor stuffed a lot of things for Shen Changshou behind his back, and Shen Mingxiu also subsidized him a lot. After the separation, Shen Mingxiu still took good care of this nephew. ”

"Hmm."

"After that, it is the marriage of Shen Changshou's son. He should be called Shen Ankang. It may be because when Shen Changshou gave birth to him, he had just recovered from a serious illness, so he also had some physical problems. The three wives, among whom there was no name and no division with him, did not give birth to children. There have also been some conflicts over this matter. The people in our family were called over, and there were people who helped to support the field, and helped Shen Ankang quarrel and fight with his in-laws. It doesn't really have much to do with our family. Later, it turned out that it was indeed Shen Ankang who couldn't do it. Which relative is my grandmother, who was kind enough to persuade Shen Changshou and his wife to find a doctor for the young couple who had just married at the time, don't worry, the other party didn't appreciate it, but scolded him for being bloody. This matter is also quite appropriate. ”

"Did they do anything to ask for a son?"

"Burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, these have all been done. It's already superstitious. His first wife was so tormented that she fled back to her parents' home. The two families clashed after that. The next few terms are not good stubble. Shen Ankang's sister was considered to have changed relatives, so she found him a new wife who was good to raise, but in the end she was not pregnant. In short, I heard my mother say that when relatives talked about their family at that time, they would talk about the root of the problem, and they would talk about Shen Mingyi, Shen Changshou, and say that their family had done too much evil. In fact, our family is not prosperous. At that time, the average life expectancy of people was relatively low, the level of medical care was insufficient, and there was war. Our family is good, and there are no starvation deaths, but there are also many children who died young, and many relatives who died of illness. ”

"Hmm. We learned that Shen Ankang finally succeeded a son. ”

"That's right. Step-son...... This is also a thorn in the heart of my grandmother, my grandmother, and even my mother...... Alas......"
