The old lady is reborn

Luo Anshun did not give up and came almost every day to help Nizi, Jingwei and Aunt Hua, who had just moved in, to set up the store.

My two younger brothers and sisters would often come here after school.

One day, none of the three siblings came, and Nizi was a little distracted.

These people have been together day and night for six years and have become a part of my life. If they suddenly disappear, I will always feel empty and hard to let go.

Nizi comforted herself that this was only the first day, and maybe they would stop coming in the future.

But the next day all three of them came again.

Jingwei asked, "Why didn't anyone come yesterday? Did something happen at home?"

The three siblings all looked at Nizi, and finally Luo Anshun said, "My eldest brother got married yesterday."

Everyone was silent for a while, and then went back to their normal business.

After a while, Luo Anshun, who passed the military examination and was admitted to the Kyoto Camp Defense and served in the Western Suburbs Camp, came happily to report the good news.

Only Jingwei seemed to be worried after hearing what she heard. She was not as cheerful as the others and went out early and came back late those days.

This made Nizi feel inexplicably nervous. She stayed awake and guarded the door for several days, and finally she caught up with Jingwei.

"Is something serious going on?"

"There may be a war."

"How did you know? Where did you get the news?"

Jingwei: "The East and West Camps in Kyoto are where the royal family's vital military forces are located.

To His Majesty, the Imperial Guards, the Imperial Guards, and the East and West Camps are the safeguards for the royal family and the capital.

In the past, it was not so easy to recruit people for the East and West Camps. My apprentice's kung fu is not bad, but... he is only a 16-year-old recruit.

But, I am just guessing, it cannot be counted."

Nizi was worried after hearing this: "Did you go to verify it these days?"

Jingwei shook her head: "Yes, I think so, but I haven't confirmed it. But it seems that there are rumors of war."

Nizi was anxious: "He is only sixteen years old, can he..."

"He is not an only child, and he is a martial artist. He probably won't retreat.

Don't worry, if there is a war, I will go with him and I will ensure that he returns safely."

Nizi was a little dazed.

Perhaps this war was foreshadowed six years ago when three children fell into the water.

Those who rushed to Kyoto from the border brought back reports about the three heroes of the Wang family.

After the new king of Beirong ascended the throne, he personally inspected the border defense on the fifth day.

He lamented that his people lived in a bitter and cold land, and pointed at the grasslands in our area, which had abundant grass and a better climate, and said that his cavalry would surely sweep across this area.

After that, three edicts were issued in succession, all of which involved military defense, and the intention to expand the army and prepare for war was obvious...

When the emperor received this report six years ago, he paused in front of the border map for a long time. If there was a war, when and where? How would it start and end?

After the war, the accumulated power was still there, the borders were stable, the court was offered tribute, and all four quarters submitted;

Or were there heavy casualties, the exhaustion of young and strong men, a great rout, and the destruction of the mountains and rivers?

The Beirong had been preparing for this battle for six years.

Six years later, the Northern Rong army was frequently mobilized, and the large army was approaching.

War is about to break out.

Half a year later, Luo Anshun's troops set out for the border.

Before leaving, Nizi thought about it all night, and the next day she went to the West Camp to find Luo Anshun: "Does what you said about wanting to marry me count?"

Luo Anshun: "I still want to marry you, but I can't do it now. Wait until I come back safely, and then it will be settled."

Jingwei frequently went to the blacksmith shop to prepare various miscellaneous things. When Luo Anshun left, Jingwei followed him.

Nizi also cried and refused to let Jingwei leave.

Jingwei said, "I promised that if there is a war, I will serve the country."

Not long after Luo Anshun and Jingwei left, Luo Anyu and Luo Anyi also came less and less often.

Nizi originally thought that since their second brother was no longer here, these two people would not come.

It wasn't until more than a month later that I saw them again, and they had obviously been beaten.

Luo Anyi cried to Nizi: "My brother beat us for our new sister-in-law." Luo Anyu lowered his head.

Nizi hurriedly checked the injuries of the two and applied some common medicine to their wounds. Knowing that the two were punished to go hungry and were so hungry that their stomachs were sticking to their backs, she was busy cooking noodles, frying eggs, and stir-frying shredded pork.

The two of them ate voraciously.

The new sister-in-law felt that her life was very difficult. The woman named Nizi was like a lingering ghost. Although she was not in the house, her traces were everywhere.

When my second brother was around, he was always away from home. I heard that he worked at that woman's house all day long. Didn't he ever take care of his own family?

My third brother and fourth sister were not close to her either. They used to call that woman "sister-in-law". If you ask me, it's just a habit and they can't change it for a while.

But in her opinion it was intentional.

Later, their eldest brother beat them up, and the second brother came back and had a big fight with the couple. It was really scary and completely disrupted the rules.

The two younger ones also followed their second brother to that woman's house all day long.

She said she wanted to turn the eldest sister-in-law into the second sister-in-law. That woman is so shameless.

After the second brother went to the army, I thought the two little ones would be more obedient and quiet without their support.

But whenever she wants to do something, these two people will sing the opposite tune. It's not like this when Sister Nizi is here.

Who is the housekeeper now? Isn't she called Sister Nizi now? If she is beaten up, won't she change her ways?

From then on, the new sister-in-law seemed to be determined to discipline them. She had people watch them and forbade them to go anywhere except to and from school.

As soon as he heard Nizi's name, he jumped three feet high.

That day, the two siblings were talking in secret behind her back. Sister Nizi hit them gently and was reluctant to use too much force.

The sister-in-law beat them to death, leaving bruises all over their bodies.

Sister Nizi is still the best.

When she heard this, she was furious. She started crying and making a scene and wanted a divorce. If her elder brother didn't care, she would either divorce him or kill him.

The eldest brother beat them severely with a bamboo stick, hitting them all over the head and face as if he was not their eldest brother anymore, and their clothes were torn.

This is not the end yet. They have to starve them and ask them to kneel down and offer tea to the sister-in-law to apologize. This matter will not be over until the sister-in-law calms down.

The two siblings were hungry for a whole day. The next day, they heard that their eldest brother and his wife had gone out, so the brother took his sister to the big kitchen.

The people in the kitchen thought they were looking for food, but each of them took a kitchen knife.

The two siblings were so ruthless that if any servants dared to stop them, they would always commit suicide if they couldn't kill them.

After all, the master was not at home, so the servants gave in and watched the two siblings leave.

Luo Anyu and Luo Anyi came to Nizi's place.

Seeing the two children eating noodles like that, Hua couldn't help but ask, "You all went to the big kitchen, why didn't you get anything to eat?"

The two siblings said, "We won't eat her food!"

The two siblings were hurt by their eldest brother and were furious.

Hua and Nizi looked at each other and both felt that this matter was difficult to handle. To be honest, it was understandable that the eldest sister-in-law felt uncomfortable, but this move was too cruel.

But if they live here, it will be difficult to get along properly. If someone comes to look for them, there is no reason not to take them back.

Then the brother and sister will suffer when they return.

As for persuasion, if it were someone else, it would be easier. However, Nizi was regarded as a thorn in the side of the eldest sister-in-law. Hua and Nizi were on the same side. I was afraid that the more she persuaded, the more trouble would arise, which would be like adding fuel to the fire.

Nizi was anxious. She was sixteen years old when she arrived at the Luo family.

Luo Anyao and Luo Anyi, one five years old and the other three years old, were two chubby little babies, without a father or a mother. They looked at her pitifully and timidly.

She has poured so much effort into the past six years, carefully nurturing him to grow up.

Now they are like bamboo shoots after the rain, tall and beautiful, and have begun to look like young princes and young ladies.

In a blink of an eye, he was beaten like this and looked so miserable.

Two half-grown children walked out of their home, each holding a kitchen knife. Nizi felt distressed, she couldn't bear to see them live like this.

Nizi wanted to talk to Luo Anyao. The two children could be left with her, but she felt it was inappropriate. It was not appropriate for her to go to him, and her suggestion did not seem appropriate, but she was still worried.

He watched the two children fall into a deep sleep with anxiety. The next morning, he prepared breakfast as he did at Luo's house, hired a donkey cart, and sent the two children to the school.

The two of them lowered their heads and said after a long while: "The book box is still at home."

Nizi gritted her teeth and asked the donkey cart to change its route. Although she was reluctant to meet him, there was nothing she could do.

After knocking on the door, the two men asked the porter to tell the people in their respective rooms to bring the book boxes to the porter.

Luo Anyao and his wife Jinman also came along with the book box. When they saw their eldest brother and his wife, they backed away and wished they could get back on the donkey cart.

Jin Man glanced at the three people in front of the door and said to Luo Anyao, "What did I say? If no one instigated them, would they become alienated from us like this?"

Luo Anyao was angry and tried to teach his younger brother and sister a lesson, but they refused to obey and actually ran out of the house with a kitchen knife.

Now that these two men have come back and seen me and my wife, they didn't even call out to us. They just kept far away from us, as if they had seen strangers.

So he scolded them: "You two are done with your kneeling punishment? Did I ask you to stand up?! Go back and kneel!"

When the brother and sister heard this, they were so angry that they started crying and turned back to the donkey cart.

Seeing this, Luo Anyao became even angrier and was about to ask the servants to drag them back.

Nizi stepped forward and said, "Please let the children go to school today. If they do anything wrong, you can teach them a lesson later."

Having said this, he picked up two book boxes, one in each hand, and ran after the children.

I don't know why, but after we got on the donkey cart, the three of us, who were originally nervous, suddenly looked at each other and started laughing.

In this way, Luo Anyi and Luo Anyi first lived with Nizi.

Luo Anyao also sent a carriage to pick them up, but the two children were unwilling to go back.

After living there for a while, Luo Anyu said to Luo Anyi, "We both have everything we need for food, clothing, shelter and transportation at Sister Nizi's place. Sister Nizi must spend a lot of money. Why don't we go back and ask Big Brother for money?"

Luo Anyi said: "Brother, if we go back, our sister-in-law is here. I'm afraid she will ask us to go back and won't even take the money."

Luo Anyu said: "Then we will wait on the road. Big brother often goes to the shops at home. We can stop him on the way and ask him to give money to Sister Nizi."

Luo Anyi nodded: "Yeah!"

When the two men rushed out halfway, they blocked Luo Anyao from the left and right, which scared Luo Anyao.

When he saw that it was his younger brother and sister, he said unhappily, "Do you want to go home?"

Luo Anyi said: "I won't go back. If I go back, you can hit me with a bamboo stick. You can see it all over my face."

She lifted her bangs and pointed at a wound that was invisible unless you looked closely. "Luckily, Sister Nizi helped me change the dressings and wash my face, hair and bathe every day. Sister Nizi helped me and kept me from getting wet."

When Luo Anyao saw this, he felt a little guilty.

Luo Anyu took the opportunity to say, "Brother, Sister Nizi doesn't have much money. After we move in, she will have to be more careful with her money.

We are not going back, but we are staying at Sister Nizi's place, and you have to pay for our expenses."

Luo Anyao was a little hesitant. He should give Nizi money, but he originally planned to let her send her younger brother and sister back so that he could prepare a thank-you gift.

If I give them money now, it means that they are living in someone else's home.

She also advised her younger brother and sister: "Move back home. Your eldest sister-in-law came into the family not long ago, and you two have moved out. It's embarrassing for everyone."

Luo Anyu shook his head: "Brother, let's live outside. Maybe sister-in-law will be happy with that."

Luo Anyi asked: "Brother, do you still have to ask sister-in-law before you can get the money?"

Now Luo Anyao felt a little embarrassed.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could Big Brother have no money? Why would Big Brother need to ask her for this little money?"

After hearing this, the brother and sister looked at Luo Anyao and waited for his next words.

Luo Anyao said this and saw that his younger brother and sister were staring at him with wide eyes.

He had no choice but to take out the silver note from his pocket: "I just received the silver from my own shop today and exchanged it for the silver note at the bank."

Luo Anyao was just about to take one out from the middle and give it to them.

The two siblings unceremoniously took three cards from the middle: "Thank you, big brother."

The two of them ran away.

But the next day, Jinman found out what was going on and went straight to Nizi's house.

Jin Man rushed in angrily, pointing at Ni Zi and scolding her: "Only those who don't know would think that people like you are kind-hearted. You stole someone else's child to raise just to steal their money!"

She turned around, as if the anger around her was looking for a way out.

Finally, he turned back and said to the stunned Nizi: "Who are you pretending to be like this for?

My husband is not here, and neither is his brother. So forget it.

The kids came to ask for money, and they took three banknotes by force and deception, and now you want to pretend you didn't know?"

Nizi really doesn't know.

The two children haven't given her the banknotes yet.

All he could do was to say, “Wait until the two kids come back from the academy, and then I’ll ask them what’s going on.

Now I really don’t know.”

Jin Man sneered after hearing this: "Two half-grown kids, you have this idea, to stop their big brother on the road to get money, and now you are just saying you don't know with your hands spread out?"

Hua wrote: “Maybe there was some misunderstanding, or the children haven’t told us yet.

How about you come back tomorrow?

When the children come back today, we will ask them and listen to what they have to say. "

Jin Man looked at it and said, “Well, we should always listen to what the children say.

You mean I'm lying?

Whether you really don't know or you're pretending not to know, you must give me those three banknotes now!"

Nizi asked: "Who gave the banknote to the child?"
