First act

[Act Rev.: Although Jiao Zhongqing is an official, his family is not rich. Jiaofu's living room is also quite simple, except for the bed (a kind of seat) and a few pieces of furniture. There is a pot of tea on the table, still steaming slightly.

[There are two old ladies sitting on the bed, both in their fifties. Aunt Wang, who is a little older, has a kind face and wears simple but clean clothes. The other is burnt wood, with pale gray hair on his head and a gloomy face. She is well dressed and has a serious expression.

[The knitting sound is coming from the back room.

Aunt Wang: Did your daughter-in-law knit again?

Jiao Mu: Yes. She was bored at home, so I asked her to knit to kill time.

Aunt Wang: I heard that your wife can knit five pieces of cloth in three days. What a clever hand!

Jiao Mu: (smiling) Everyone else is talking nonsense! Where can she weave five pieces of cloth in three days?

Aunt Wang: It's not like stealing chickens and ducks. What are you embarrassed about? Don't deny it, who doesn't know that your daughter-in-law has been in Fiona Fang for decades? (Sighs) Unlike my daughter-in-law, she is lazy and lazy. It's even harder to add her to knit a few pieces of cloth than to ascend to heaven.

Jiao Mu: Really?

Aunt Wang: Why not? Tell her to weave, not to mention five horses in three days, that is, one horse in thirty days. I dare not say these words outside, for fear of being laughed at.

Jiao Mu: (surprised, calm down again) I heard that your daughter-in-law is the daughter of a big family. I don't think this will happen in a few years.

Aunt Wang: (sighs) I'm afraid a leopard cannot change his spots.

Jiao Mu: (comforting) How? It is said that time can grind even stones into sand, not to mention a little temper of your daughter-in-law.

Aunt Wang: I'm afraid she can't change her temper even when she is buried.

Jiao Mu: (smiling) Look where you said.

Aunt Wang: To tell you the truth, your Zhong Qing works in the yamen, and his salary is quite high. You should ask your daughter-in-law to stop what she is doing.

Jiao Mu: (Nodding) Right, right.

Aunt Wang: Seriously, I envy you. Gave birth to such a promising son and married such a beautiful, hardworking and capable daughter-in-law I heard that your daughter-in-law also learned to cut clothes and read at home.

Jiao Mu: (taking a sip of tea) What do women learn these things for, as long as they can serve their husbands well.

Aunt Wang: That's not what you said. Daughter-in-law is versatile, and her husband has light on his face!

Jiao Mu: (with a sigh) You don't know, this family has a bitter experience.

Aunt Wang: (surprised to understand half the meaning) Is that it?

Jiao Mu: (sighing again) Yes, I've been married for two or three years, and I still have no grandchildren.

Aunt Wang: (comforting) Don't worry about this kind of thing. We must take our time.

Jiao Mu: (excited) I only have one son. People have several grandchildren at my age, and I ... do you think I can relax?

Aunt Wang: (taking a sip of tea) That's true. It is said that there is a temple in Dongshan to send children to the empress, which is very clever. Why not ask for it?

Jiao Mu: (sighs) I have been there. Last month alone, I asked for it more than ten times.

Aunt Wang: (curious) How about it?

Jiao Mu: (sighs) What else can we do? solicit sb's support ...

Aunt Wang: (Q) What does the sign say?

[Body involuntarily close to the burnt wood.

Jiao Mu: She lives too hard and is doomed to be infertile.

[Great aunt Wang breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the original place.

Aunt Wang: (silent for a moment) It's time to think about it. (Fortunately) Although my daughter-in-law can't do anything else, it's ok to have a baby. After three years in the door, she gave birth to two fat grandchildren, which made me restless for a moment. You know, although my second grandson was young, he cried so loudly that the neighbors stopped to listen to my grandson cry.

Jiao Mu: (envious) You are so lucky. (Pause for a moment, seriously) There are many people you know. Why don't you keep an eye out for me and see if there are any suitable girls?

Aunt Wang: (thinking) There is a girl who seems to be seventeen, but ... (I have doubts).

Jiao Mu: (sitting in a more comfortable position, asking) Just what? (I have concerns)

Aunt Wang: (sighs) She is just a peasant girl. I'm afraid she doesn't deserve your Zhong Qing.

Jiao Mu: (Worry disappears, joy disappears) I thought it was something! What happened to that peasant girl? As long as you can give me a big fat grandson!

Aunt Wang: (Nodding) Yes, yes.

Jiao Mu: (interested) Whose girl is it?

Aunt Wang: Qin family in Dongcun.

Jiao Mu: (awestruck) Qin family? What a good family! (Thinking) I remember, there seems to be a daughter in their family, whose name seems to be Luo Fu.

Aunt Wang: (slightly excited) I'm talking about her. You know, that girl's hands are very clever. Embroidered lotus flowers are more real. Very thin. Better appearance.

Jiao Mu: (delighted and excited) Please help me talk to the Qin family. My fat grandson depends on you.

Aunt Wang: (smiling) Don't worry, this marriage will be successful. People are anxious to marry their daughters to your home!

[Liu Lanzhi. Dress simply and come with a smile. Refers to the root of onion, with dani in its mouth.

Liu Lanzhi: (Salute) Aunt Wang and Mom.

Jiao Mu: (with an unhappy face) Are all fabrics woven?

Liu Lanzhi: Back to mom, it's all over.

Aunt Wang: (getting out of bed) It's getting late. I should go back.

Jiao Mu: (Stop) What's the hurry? Sit down for a while.

Aunt Wang: Oh, no, come again next time!

Liu Lanzhi: Take care, Aunt.

Aunt Wang: Lan Zhi, come to my house often when you are free.

Liu Lanzhi: (Promise) Oh.

[Aunt Wang].

Jiao Mu: (getting out of bed) It's getting late. Zhong Qing will be back in an hour. It's time for you to cook

[Liu Lanzhi stood still.

Jiao Mu: (a little angry) Did you hear what I said?

Liu Lanzhi: Yes.

Jiao Mu: Then what are you still doing here? Go now!

[Coke Mom walks slowly to the bedroom.

Liu Lanzhi: Mom, I heard what you just said to Aunt Wang.

Jiao Mu: (Stop and turn around. Surprised) What? !

[sister-in-law. About fifteen or sixteen years old, looks very cute.

Sister-in-law: (to Liu Lanzhi) Sister-in-law, what happened?

[Liu Lanzhi remains silent.

Sister-in-law: (to Jiao Mu) Mom, something has happened. ...

Jiao Mu: (to sister-in-law) It's none of your business here. (scolding) You go back to your room.

[Sister-in-law looked at Liu Lanzhi and Jiaomu and seemed to understand.

Sister-in-law: OK, Mom.

[sister-in-law.

[JiaoMu back to bed and sat down.

Jiao Mu: Did you hear that?

Liu Lanzhi: Yes, Mom.

Jiao Mu: It's good to know, lest I tell you again.

[Liu Lanzhi he lowered his standing in front of the burnt wood, silent.

Jiao Mu: Go! what are you going to do？

Liu Lanzhi: (from a rude awakening) You mean me?

Jiao Mu: (Nodding) Hmm.

Liu Lanzhi: (strongly) Now that you and Aunt Wang have talked, it's meaningless for me to stay here. I intend to leave early tomorrow morning.

Jiao Mu: (surprised) You mean you want to ...

Liu Lanzhi: That's right. I keep my word and leave your Jiaojia early tomorrow morning!

Jiao Mu: (delighted) cheerful! Lan Zhi, you have always been a good daughter-in-law in my heart, and I like you very much. But, you know what? Our Jiao family needs a grandson, and I have to! Lan Zhi, don't blame me!

Liu Lanzhi: (tears) Mom, I beg you to stop.

Jiao Mu: All right, forget it. Lan Zhi, you are leaving tomorrow. what do you have to say?

Liu Lanzhi: (wiping away tears and sobbing) Me, me. ...

[Jiao Zhongqing and her sister-in-law, in a hurry, panting. Jiao Zhongqing is seven feet tall, dressed in official clothes, charming and natural and unrestrained.

Jiao Zhongqing: (surprised) Honey, why are you crying?

[Liu Lanzhi covers her face with a towel and goes back to her room.

Jiao Zhongqing: (puzzled) Mom, this. ...

Jiao Mu: (Interrupting Jiao Zhongqing) Zhong Qing, are you back?

Sister-in-law: Mom, I went to the kitchen to cook.

[Sister-in-law made to Jiao Zhongqing expression of eyes, then.

Jiao Zhongqing: Mom, what the hell happened?

Jiao Mu: Nothing. (Greeting Jiao Zhongqing) Come. Sit with me. I haven't heard you talk about the wonders that happened in yamen for a long time.

[Jiao Zhongqing he lowered his hand and stood still.

Jiao Zhongqing: No, something must have happened. Tell me, mom, what happened?

Jiao Mu: (seriously) I have to tell you sooner or later. Forget it, let me make it clear to you that I want to divorce Lan Zhi for you!

[Jiao Zhongqing like a bolt from the blue, the body can't help but tremble.

Jiao Zhongqing: Mom, did I hear you right?

Jiao Mu: You heard me right. Lan Zhi, she also agreed to go back to her parents' home early tomorrow morning.

Jiao Zhongqing: What happened to Lan Zhi, who is hardworking, capable, generous and filial to your old man?

Jiao Mu: There is nothing wrong with her.

Jiao Zhongqing: (puzzled) Then why did you divorce her?

Jiao Mu: (Goodwill) I did it for your own good.

Jiao Zhongqing: (increasingly confused) For my own good? Mom, I don't understand you. Can you speak more clearly?

Jiao Mu: Don't you want a son?

Jiao Zhongqing: (suddenly enlighted) So that's it. Go back to mom. I don't want it yet.

Jiao Mu: But I want grandchildren!

Jiao Zhongqing: Mom. ...

Jiao Mu: (angry) Stop talking. I have asked Aunt Wang to visit relatives and friends at Qin's home in Dongcun. There is a girl named Rove in the Qin family, seventeen years old, and she is very good in all aspects. You'll know when you see her.

Jiao Zhongqing: Mom. ...

Jiao Mu: (getting angry) You don't even listen to me, do you? That's settled. It's no use talking more!

[Jiao Zhongqing knelt in front of Jiao's mother.

Jiao Zhongqing: (pleading) Mom, please keep Lan Zhi for my sake!

Jiao Mu: No!

Jiao Zhongqing: (tears) If you divorce Lan Zhi, I will never get married!

Jiao Mu: (Hammerhead, furious) How dare you threaten me for a woman, you unfilial villain! I really married my daughter-in-law. Forget what my mother told you just now. I want to divorce Liu Lanzhi!

Jiao Zhongqing: Mom, I know you love me the most. No matter what I asked for when I was a child, you will satisfy me. Be merciful and do as I say this time!

[Jiao Zhongqing knelt in front of the burnt wood and kowtowed.

Jiao Mu: (turning a blind eye) I can rely on you for everything, but I won't rely on you for this matter anyway. (Command) Get up. People in their twenties are still kneeling on the ground crying. What a spectacular sight! Neighbors are watching jokes!

[Jiao Zhongqing stop kowtowing, still kneeling.

Jiao Mu: Did you hear that? I told you to get up!

Jiao Zhongqing: If you don't obey me, I can't afford to kneel.

Jiao Mu: Are you going to get up or not?

Jiao Zhongqing: No.

Jiao Mu: As the ancients said, there is gold under one's knee. But you can't kneel for a woman, you useless thing! (Voice trembling) You ... You piss me off!

Jiao Zhongqing: I'm worthless! I made my mother angry! I am unfilial!

Jiao Mu: (mistakenly thinking that Jiao Zhongqing regretted it) It's good to know your mistake! It's good to know your mistakes!

[Jiao Mama gets up to help Jiao Zhongqing.

Jiao Mu: Zhong Qing, get up.

Jiao Zhongqing: (happily) So you promised to stay in Lan Zhi?

Jiao Mu: (sullenly, giving up helping Jiao Zhongqing) I won't keep her anyway.

Jiao Zhongqing: Then I will stay on my knees until you change your mind.

Jiao Mu: (leaves on the left) Then you can continue to kneel!

[Sister-in-law carries food.

Sister-in-law: Mom, brother, have dinner.

[Jiao's mother went to the bed and sat tight.

[Jiao Zhongqing got up in a hurry and cried quietly.

Sister-in-law: Brother, what's wrong with you?

Jiao Zhongqing: (covering up) No, it's nothing.

Jiao Mu: Come on, let's eat.

[Sister-in-law, put the dishes away.

Sister-in-law: (to Jiao Zhongqing) Why doesn't sister-in-law come out for dinner?

Jiao Zhongqing: (looking at Jiao Mu's face) She's not feeling well.

Sister-in-law: (ignoring Jiao Zhongqing and entering the room) Sister-in-law, it's time for dinner!

[In the room: You can eat first. I won't come out to eat if I feel a little sick.

Sister-in-law: Does it matter?

[In the room: Nothing important. It'll be all right in a minute. You can eat first!

Jiao Mu: Leave her alone and eat first.

[Jiao Zhongqing mechanically grilled rice, tears streaming down, fell into the rice bowl. Jiao Zhongqing kept her head down to keep Jiao Mu and her sister-in-law from seeing her.

Zanthoxylum is a vegetable in Jiao Zhongqing.

[Three people have nothing to say.

Jiao Zhongqing: (putting down chopsticks) I'm full. Eat slowly. I'll go back to my room first. (get up)

Jiao Mu: (to Jiao Zhongqing) Eat more!

Jiao Zhongqing: (focusing on wood) Oh, no, I'm full.

Jiao Mu: (picks up a bowl of rice and puts some dishes on it) Zhong Qing, Lan Zhi must be hungry. Please take it to her.

Jiao Zhongqing: (taking the job) Thank you, mom.

[Under Jiao Zhongqing.

Jiao Mu: (sighs) What a pity!

Sister-in-law: (comforting) Mom, don't be angry. Your health is very important. Dude, he didn't mean to mess with you.

Jiao Mu: (feeling) My daughter is better! You are fifteen this year, and you should get married in two years!

Sister-in-law: (coquetry) I won't marry anyone in my life, so I will stay at home and wait on you.

Jiao Mu: (happy) Why is your mouth like honey? In two years, you will be sweet with outsiders. I'll sweeten it before you get married.

Sister-in-law: (shy) Mom, look what you said! (Chen Jiao) If you keep talking, I will ignore you.

Jiao Mu: Okay, okay, stop it, stop it. (Picking up the soup) Take this bowl of soup to your sister-in-law's room.

Sister-in-law: (getting up to get soup) OK, Mom.

[Sister-in-law came into the room with soup.

[The decoration of the room is also very simple, but it is very substantial because the room is small. There is a dresser next to the window with a bronze mirror on it. Liu Lanzhi sat in front of the bronze mirror and combed her hair, with tears on her face. Jiao Zhongqing sat on the sofa with his head down and said nothing. There is a quilt embroidered with peacock pattern on the sofa. There is a bowl of rice on the table, and there is no heat.

Sister-in-law: Mom asked me to send a bowl of soup.

[Liu Lanzhi wiped her tears, stood up, took the soup and put it on the table.

Liu Lanzhi: Thank you, my mother.

Sister-in-law: (promise) Oh. I'll go back to my room first.

Liu Lanzhi: (with a forced smile) Please sit down.

Sister-in-law: Oh, no way.

[eldest sister-in-law winks at Jiao Zhongqing, Jiao Zhongqing bowed their heads and didn't see it. Sister-in-law sighed.

Liu Lanzhi: (Looking at the food, tears streaming down her face) This is the last meal I had in your Jiao family.

Jiao Zhongqing: (stands up) No. Today, her old man is in a bad mood. Tomorrow, maybe her anger will subside and she will get better.

Liu Lanzhi: But this is "maybe" after all. What if there is no "possibility"?

Jiao Zhongqing: No! Absolutely not! You trust me!

Liu Lanzhi: (crying) I want to believe you, too. However, (pointing to several tables of vegetables and soup) you see, these leftovers are all given to me by your mother. Do you think she seems to have ... (sobbing)

Jiao Zhongqing: Don't do that. Maybe she wasn't careful ...

Liu Lanzhi: (Interrupting Jiao Zhongqing) Don't be naive.

Jiao Zhongqing: (Silence for a moment) Why do you agree?

Liu Lanzhi: (sobbing) Do you want me to let your mother out? (crying even harder)

Jiao Zhongqing: (Regret) That's not what I meant.

Jiao Zhongqing tries to grab Liu Lanzhi's hand, but Liu Lanzhi breaks free.

Liu Lanzhi: (walks to the box and takes out something from it) This is an embroidered waist-length jacket, which will glow at night. This is a red gauze curtain with sachets hanging on it, and this. (Show them to Jiao Zhongqing one by one) Qin Luofu must look down on these things, so you can keep them as a souvenir! When you see these things in the future, you will see me ... (sobbing)

[Jiao Zhongqing put aside these things and embraced Liu Lanzhi.

Jiao Zhongqing: (tears) I don't want any Qin Luofu, and I don't want these things. I just want you. (Comfort) You can go back to your parents' home for a few days. I will tell my mother that she will definitely follow me. You have to bear it for a while. Within ten days and a half, I will definitely take a big sedan chair to pick you up at your mother's house.

Liu Lanzhi: (with a smile on his tears, it soon disappears) But ...

Jiao Zhongqing: (piously) There is no "but". Trust me, ma 'am.

[The next morning, chickens crowed outside, the sun just came out, and the morning glow in the east dyed half the sky red.

[Jiao Zhongqing went out and hired a carriage according to Jiao Mu's instructions.

Liu Lanzhi is beautifully dressed. She wore silk shoes on her feet, shiny tortoiseshell on her head, a belt around her waist and pearl earrings on her ears. She took another photo in front of the bronze mirror, cut her hair, wiped her tears and made up her makeup. Then she walked into the living room with delicate steps.

[JiaoMu sitting on the bed, deadpan.

[Sister-in-law stood with her hands down, holding a silk scarf and wiping her tears from time to time.

Liu Lanzhi: (Salute) Mom.

[coke mother listens a little uncomfortable and doesn't answer.

[Liu Lanzhi embarrassed.

Sister-in-law: (whispering to Jiao Mu) Mom, sister-in-law wants you!

Jiao Mu: (suddenly realize) Oh. Lan Zhi, did you call me?

Liu Lanzhi: I know you're not used to it. But before I left Jiaojia, I was Jiaojia's daughter-in-law and you were my mother-in-law. Whether you like it or not, I still want to call it "mom".

Jiao Mu: (speechless) Lan Zhi, I ... I. ...

Liu Lanzhi: (Memories) I grew up in the countryside and had no education. I think it's a shame to marry Zhong Qing, which brings trouble to Zhong Qing and is also your shame. ...

Jiao Mu: (Interrupting Liu Lanzhi) Stop it.

Liu Lanzhi: (stubbornly) No, you let me finish. (Continue to recall) In those days, you sent many gifts to my family, and my mother and brother were surprised and happy. Before I got married, my mother urged me to take good care of your family and Zhong Qing, and I have done the same over the years. Now, I'm going back. I can't serve you anymore. Please take care. But I think Qin Luofu is a good girl, and she will definitely do better than me. (Fighting back tears)

[coke mother keeps silent.

Sister-in-law: (to Liu Lanzhi with tears in her eyes) Sister-in-law, I won't let you go.

Liu Lanzhi: (Wipe away tears and squeeze out a smile) Silly girl, as tall as her sister-in-law, still crying. You were so tall when I first entered Jiao's house, and you became a big girl in the blink of an eye. (Take the earlobe off and give it to my sister-in-law) This is what my sister-in-law wore when she got married. Recalling the lively scene when she got married, she burst into tears. It's not necessary now. Sister-in-law has nothing for you, please accept this pair of earrings as a souvenir!

Sister-in-law: Sister-in-law! (Taking the eardrop and crying with Liu Lanzhi) I can't bear to part with you!

Liu Lanzhi: After I leave, you should take good care of your mother and brother ... (sobbing).

Sister-in-law: Um ... (sobbing)

[Coke's mother coughed a few times, and Liu Lanzhi separated from her sister-in-law and stopped crying.

[Jiao Zhongqing.

Jiao Zhongqing: Mom. ...

Jiao Mu: (Interrupting Jiao Zhongqing) Did you rent a carriage?

Jiao Zhongqing: Mom, I ... I. ...

Jiao Mu: (angry) I what me? Let me ask you a question! Did you rent a carriage?

Jiao Zhongqing: (suddenly kneeling) Mom, won't you drive Lan Zhi away?

Jiao Mu: (Calm down) Get up! I've made up my mind. It's no use begging me.

Jiao Zhongqing: Mom, are you so cruel?

Jiao Mu: It's not that my heart is as hard as iron. I did it for your own good. You will understand later.

Liu Lanzhi: (to Jiao Zhongqing) Get up!

【 The sun has risen high, the morning glow has dispersed, and the sun shines in.

[Outside the carriage.

Jiao Mu: (Shouting outside) Driver! Driver!

[on the coachman. He is a man in his forties, simple and honest, wearing patched clothes.

Driver: (Salute) Hello, old lady.

Jiao Mu: Are all the carriages ready?

Driver: Go back to the old lady. Everything is ready.

Jiao Mu: (Nodding) OK, OK.

Liu Lanzhi: (Salute) Mom, I have to go. Please take care in the future. (wiping tears)

[Under Liu Lanzhi.

Driver: (Salute) Old lady, I went.

[The driver gets off.

[Jiao Zhongqing turned and walked out.

Jiao Mu: (stops Jiao Zhongqing) What are you going to do?

Jiao Zhongqing: (Stop and turn around) Mom, I want to see Lan Zhi off.

Jiao Mu: (angry) Aren't you going to the yamen?

Jiao Zhongqing: (Timid) I won't go to Yamen today.

Jiao Mu: (furious) You worthless thing! Don't even go to the yamen for a woman! (Command) You change my clothes and go to the yamen immediately after you change!

Jiao Zhongqing: (kneeling down and pleading) Mom, Lan Zhi is leaving, so please, let me see her off for the last time!

Sister-in-law: Mom, please let your brother meet your sister-in-law!

Jiao Mu: (thoughtfully for a moment) All right, you go! Remember to come back early!

Jiao Zhongqing: (happily) Thank you, mom! Thanks, Mom! (Quickly gets up and runs outside) Lan Zhi, wait for me!
