She saw her sister-in-law's happiness and satisfaction after getting married, and her dead memories came back to life. She thought of her husband and those sweet and warm days. Her heart suddenly felt enlightened. She wanted to leave. No matter what kind of person she married, she had to leave. These two homes were not her own. She wanted a home that belonged entirely to her own. The mother-in-law’s family went back to discuss the matter with the blind mother-in-law: Let the little girl go. The blind mother-in-law still cried. Not saying a word just crying. My father and uncles sighed and said: Mother, please stop crying. We will never mention this matter again. You have to treat this girl well, just treat her as if she owed you in your previous life and repay it in this life. My mother-in-law, don't cry. Let's discuss a way to make this girl give up on this idea. The blind mother-in-law quickly stopped crying. A bunch of elders got together and plotted how to end my great-aunt's young life.

A few days later, my maternal uncle said to my great-aunt: Your mother-in-law agrees with your remarriage, and you will leave when you find a suitable family. Dad slapped his thigh and said, "It just so happens that someone came to propose marriage. His wife died at the age of forty and she had five children. Do you think it's okay?" My great-aunt was in tears and silent.

A few days later, my maternal uncle sighed and said: Someone is using your horoscope to find someone to blame. They think you have a hard life and say you are destined to drink water from the three wells. well. In our place, the water from three wells means marrying three people. My aunt bit her handkerchief and ran into her house, tears streaming down her face.

Later, there were people who came to come as matchmakers, but they all thought that my aunt was too tough, and even someone who was old and had a group of young children refused to marry her. Of course, it was her father who told her. Without her mother, everything would have to be left to her father. Nearly a year has passed, and my aunt's heart has become cold. She often thinks that in the past few months of her marriage, her mother has died, her husband has died, her already formed son is gone, and her father-in-law has also passed away. This life is hard enough. What if she hurts others again in the future? thing? Accept your fate, remarriage is inherently disgraceful. If the same result occurs again, won't it make the world laugh at you?

My great-aunt accepted her fate, and she crushed her budding spring heart into her still youthful heart. Overnight, she seemed to have aged a lot, and her straight waist seemed to be rickety. His face became even paler and bloodless, and his big eyes that were once vivid and lively stared blankly at the scene in front of him. She returned to her husband's house again. Her mother-in-law didn't care that she hadn't been back this year and welcomed her happily. The mother-in-law said: We both have the same fate, daughter-in-law, let’s take it one day at a time. Life is in the bones, and even a hoe can’t dig it out. The mother-in-law said: The incense of our Shao family cannot be cut off in the hands of two women. Do you know why I don't let your sisters recruit? My son-in-law has a foreign surname after all. I have already thought about giving my family to you, and you have to support me! Our old Shao family will not let others laugh at us!

With the support of my mother-in-law, my great-aunt adopted a nephew from my family who is in the fifth server. He is ten years old, thin and frail, which makes people feel sorry for him. During the adoption ceremony hosted by the family elder, the adopted son called out "Mother", which made the great-aunt burst into tears. She cried that she finally had a son, she cried that her son should be this old if he wanted to live, she cried at herself, she cried at what kind of mother she was... From then on, her great aunt focused on raising the child. During the cold winter season, I took my son to visit the grave, and during the off-farm season, I took my son back to my parents’ home to stay for a while. The blind mother-in-law's body suddenly became better, and her eyes seemed to be able to see light, and she was no longer hurt by constant bumps and bumps. The son is well fed in this family, can study, and has grown up quickly. The son is sensible, and is very kind to his grandmother and mother. The three of them have three surnames, but they are as close as if they were a family. The great-aunt arranged a marriage for her son and planned to marry him as soon as he turned eighteen.

At this time, her mother-in-law was like a lamp that was gradually burning out the oil, exhausting her life while lingering. When her mother-in-law was dying, she called her aunt, who was in her thirties, to her side and said, "Son, I can't help you. Our ancestors of the Shao family can't help you." My great-aunt said: Mom, stop talking, this is my life.

The mother-in-law grabbed the daughter-in-law’s hand and said: My child, I don’t blame you for your life, it’s all my fault. I was afraid that you would destroy the Shao family after you left, so I made up this lie with your father. You are said to have a hard life, but you are a good boy. Don't blame your mother, my boy.

The mother-in-law called her grandson again: Listen, without your mother, our Shao family would not be what it is today. From now on, whether your mother wants to leave or stay, you have to listen to your mother... The grandson knelt down in front of his grandma. Down: Grandma, don’t worry, my mother will eat whatever I eat, and she will always be kind to my mother even if she begs for food. God is watching what people do. If I don't follow through on my words, God will strike with thunder!

When my mother-in-law died, my great-aunt cried very sadly. People said that my great-aunt was so filial and had a great affection for her mother-in-law. Only my great aunt knew that she was crying for her life.

My great-aunt became a mother-in-law at the age of 33. The daughter-in-law is careful and kind, hardworking and capable, and treats her mother-in-law very well. Because the son has long said to his wife: Mom’s life will not be easy, and she cannot let the old man suffer any injustice.

The natal father was also about to die. He called his daughter to him and confessed his mistakes. Before she spoke, her daughter said: Dad, I understand, and I don’t blame you. The father burst into tears, took his daughter's hand and said, "Son, I also have selfish motives. The Shao family is richer than ours. If you stay there, you can take care of your younger brothers." Your mother-in-law is very thoughtful and saw that I was greedy for money. She promised me that as long as you didn't leave, she would give me the ten acres of land in Dongheya. I shouldn't be greedy for money! He destroyed his daughter for the sake of his son! How can I have the face to see your mother who left early?

My great-aunt was stunned. She only thought that her mother-in-law had seduced her for selfish reasons. She never expected that her own father would sacrifice her daughter's happiness and ruin her daughter's life for his own desires! My great aunt howled loudly.

My great-aunt's father opened his eyes and died amidst his daughter's cries.

My great-aunt is older. She was only in her thirties and wore gray and black clothes all day long. Like all the mothers-in-law at that time, she swayed on her two little feet and took care of everything at home and outside. Seeing her as a widow managing a house in an orderly manner, the elders in the village all raised their thumbs up and admired her sincerely. After my mother told her story over and over again, I became suspicious of my great-aunt’s mental activities. How did her young daughter-in-law come here late at night when it was thundering and raining? Before her mother-in-law died, her mother-in-law slept on a kang with her. After her mother-in-law died, the owl hooted miserably. Was she afraid? The cat meows on the roof, what is she thinking? When she raised the fly swatter in her hand, did she see two mating flies and helplessly let them escape? After his son got married, he came over with his wife every night to say hello, and then the two of them went back to their room to sleep. How could she, a young mother-in-law, be in a daze as her son's bedroom window went out? My mother never told me, and I was embarrassed to ask. I was very young at that time, and I didn’t understand many things. Maybe my great-aunt is not as complicated as I imagined. She has always been so resigned to her fate and so busy, busy preparing winter and summer clothes for the children of her brothers and sisters, and also preparing clothes for her unborn grandson. She also had to settle her annual income and expenditure so that she could grab more silver coins to buy houses, land, cattle, horses, mules and donkeys. She was like the horseshoe clock in the hall. As soon as it was wound up, it would run away like a clockwork. I don’t know. rest.

But I believe that my great-aunt used to do things to pass the time. My mother still collects the insoles that my great-aunt gave her, which are embroidered with the pattern of magpies making plum blossoms. Almost half a century later, they are still fresh. Is it necessary to spend so much effort on a pair of insoles if my life is as good as before? I believe she is lonely. She sewed her loneliness into the work in her hands. She gave all the freshness to the patterns in her hands. The lotus leaves and goldfish came to life, the phoenix and peonies came to life, the spring came to life, and the heart of my aunt and grandma came to life. But died.

Shortly after the grandson was born, the son felt that his mother had taken care of the house well, so he proposed to find another way to make a living in a city a hundred miles away. My great aunt agreed. "A good man does not cultivate his ancestral land, and a good woman does not wear dowry clothes." My aunt felt that she had raised a good son who was unwilling to live alone at home. The son works as a bookkeeper in a shop and earns a lot of money. My aunt used all the money her son sent back to buy land. She was very happy to be able to expand the Shao family's real estate to the maximum size in her hands.

After all, she did not wait until her son came home. After the reform and opening up, many Taiwanese people returned to their hometown. Her aunt asked around and found out that her son fell ill and died within a few years of arriving in Taiwan. Counting the time, it was exactly When my family's land was divided by poor and lower-middle peasants. At that time, she was sitting on the kang and wanted to say to those who had been allocated land and livestock to her family: How did our Shao family accumulate all this family property? Our parents and fellow villagers all know that it is easy for us orphans and widowed mothers to live frugally. ? We don’t kill anyone, and we don’t set fires. Aren’t there many of you here who have been helped by my family? Why don't you say something fair? But she didn't say anything, as if it had nothing to do with her, she was squeezing her grandson's shoes on the kang. Knowing that her son was dead, my aunt lay in bed for two days without eating. The grandson's wife asked her to get up to eat, but she kicked her out. In this family, she has this power, but she never uses it. Finally, the two great-grandsons came and acted coquettishly around my great-aunt. My great-aunt's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said to her grandson's wife: "Bake porridge for me to drink, but I'm starving to death." Everyone knew that this disaster was over again.

My great-aunt’s grandchildren are willing to endure hardships and are very hardworking. Riding on the east wind of reform, they raised chickens and orchards. Even their great-grandchildren were married and had children, and they lived a very prosperous life. My great-aunt used to live in an old house by herself and refused to share it with her grandson no matter what. In the past few years, my legs and feet have not been very flexible, and I have also developed cataracts. I couldn't resist my grandson, so I started to live in turns.

My great-aunt often said to my mother: "I am content to live as good as me and live such a good life." "I have long thought that I really deserve to die. Why doesn't the Lord of Hell just die?" You want me to go back? But I can’t seek death. That’s going to give my filial grandson a bad name!” What moved me the most was this sentence: “After I die, will that damn ghost still recognize me?” I have suffered so much, but I have long forgotten what he looks like..."

Great-aunt, my 92-year-old great-aunt...

Postscript: Written in one day Although this is a strange thing, although I am tired, I feel very happy, as if I have completed a mission, and I breathed a long sigh of relief. I have wanted to write about my great-aunt for a long time, but my mother never let me. Mom said that everyone has his own destiny. Who knows whether his own destiny will be better than hers? It's not easy for her to walk a straight path all her life and never have any right or wrong. If you tell some messy stories for her, I won't agree! My mother also said: When the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it wanes. Everything must have a limit. If it is too perfect, it is deceiving the sky. Your great-aunt is so beautiful, so God will add some misfortune to her, because God is jealous of her beauty.

Now I really want to say to my great-aunt: I really hope that when you were young, you could pursue your own happiness like Zhuo Wenjun in history. Even if your reputation is not very good, your life will not be in vain. A woman. July 14, 2006

Another note: In the late autumn of 2009, after completing ninety-six years of her life, my great-aunt fell quietly like a leaf. She is born in the year of Tiger. People say that women born in the year of Tiger are destined to have hard work. Good going, old man.

Remember: I really can’t complete the task! Very busy today! Revise the old text and add some numbers.
