The old lady is reborn

At the beginning, the grandmother brought Tang Peilin to her side to raise him so that the young couple could give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible. Until today, the illegitimate son is already there, but the legitimate son has not yet been born.

The grandmother probably secretly hoped to have a legitimate son, so she did not send Tang Peilin back to his mother.

In this way, six-year-old Tang Peilin and her infant half-brother often spent time together. The little baby was really adorable, but every time her mother came to pay her respects to her grandmother, she would not look very happy when she saw her daughter Tang Peilin and Tang Chi having fun.

This made the grandmother unhappy, and she would often scold her, saying that the most important thing for her now was to have a legitimate son and not to watch the two children playing around.

Sometimes when Wen Ran came to visit his grandmother or his half brother, he would also meet his father. Wen Ran would not stay there for long under any excuse, and even because his father was there, he would stop for a moment and leave after greeting, only occasionally showing a tender and caring look to his half brother.

When the father saw this, he probably felt sorry for her, so he asked her to stay with the children longer and he was about to leave.

Wen Ran said that she could come often when she was at home. Comparatively speaking, the children saw their father less often and were more attached to him, so she should leave first.

Finally, my father called Aunt Wen over, and the two of them played with her and her half-brother for a long time, and then they left together.

Later, she heard from Aunt Fan that her mother gradually realized that something was wrong with her father. He often smiled alone and said some incomprehensible sentences. Every time she went to her grandmother's house, she was very happy to see the two children.

But my father still stayed with my mother most of the time and only went to visit Aunt Wen a few days every month.

But the snacks that my father brought back from outside were no longer what my mother liked to eat. When my mother opened them, both of them were speechless and embarrassed.

Watching lanterns during the Qiqiao Festival was a time when my parents had fond memories of their first meeting. However, on that year’s Qiqiao Festival, my father lied to my mother, saying that he had to go to the Ministry of Works for something and would be back soon, so he should be able to watch the last fireworks of the Lantern Festival.

But my father went out with Aunt Wen separately. It sounded like they were doing something unrelated, but in fact they were going to see the lanterns together. When they met, they held hands tightly. Every time the crowd was surging, my father would hold Aunt Wen in his arms and protect her carefully.

Perhaps when he went out, my father did think about doing two things at once and came back to accompany my mother to watch the last fireworks.

But the mother and Aunt Fan, who followed their father out that day, did not see that the man remembered the promise he made when he went out.

He accompanied Aunt Wen to watch the fireworks. The people who watched the fireworks went home in groups of three or four, holding lanterns.

Maybe it was because there were too many people, or maybe it was because he was immersed in his own joy and happiness. In fact, they were not far apart, but he never looked back, and the light in his eyes was no longer for her.

Mother could even hear Aunt Wen say, "Will she blame you for going back at this hour?"

My father said, "It's nothing. Just bring her a lamp back."

Aunt Wen said, "But these are the ones I like."

My father said, "Just buy another one."

This was probably the most careless gift my father ever gave to my mother. He put a broken lantern on the stall and the owner didn't even feel comfortable taking money from my father, saying that it was a gift for my father.

Aunt Fan said, "The lady's look is really pitiful." The lady looked at me blankly and said to me calmly, "Look, there are still scattered stalls ahead that have not been collected. He is not even willing to walk a few steps. At least buy one that is not broken."

My father was in a hurry to send Aunt Wen, who was complaining about foot pain, home. The carriage first sent Aunt Wen home, and then took my father two blocks away. The carriage stopped for a long time after the sight was out of sight before returning home.

My father complained to my mother that there were too many chores in the Ministry of Works and took out the broken lantern that he had carelessly broken.

The two people who had slept in each other's arms that night now had their backs to each other, each with their own thoughts, and they were sleeping in the same bed but having different dreams.

The next day, my mother asked Aunt Fan why she still lied to me. He was my husband and she was my concubine. They had a clear relationship.

Aunt Fan looked at her mother with red eyes and said, "Silly young lady, do you really have to expose this to me? The uncle lied to you and still cared about you.

They just want to go and see the lanterns by themselves. You are your wife and she is your concubine. She cannot go out without your approval.

The old lady admired her on the surface, but in reality she was on the side of the young lady. If she said it openly, he would have to take the young lady with him, or if the young lady agreed to take her with him, she would have to follow behind like a maid. "

Mother said, "They underestimated me. If they had said they wanted to see the lanterns, I wouldn't have stopped them."

After that, her mother seemed to be discouraged and indifferent to everything. She also ignored her father and left Wen Ran alone many times to go hiking, hot springs, and burn incense with her father. Many of the things she and her father used to do, her father now took Aunt Wen to do.

Sometimes, when my mother looked at their backs as they talked and laughed, she would smile sadly and say that it was like him and me in the past, and then tears would fall.

Seeing that my mother didn't seem to care, my father often went to Aunt Wen's yard.

His mother was ill, and his father only came to see her every day, only to take a quick look and then leave in a hurry. He and Aunt Wen were worried about her and were very worried.

My grandmother, who had always been estranged from my mother, asked the nanny beside her to pass on a message: "Zhongming told me yesterday that he wanted to record Tang Chi as your legitimate son, and asked me, as your mother, to come and tell you.

As an old woman, I want a mistress who can stand on her own feet and live well, so that this family can last forever. If you know what is important and can stand up on your own feet, I will naturally support my proper daughter-in-law.

If you are so hesitant and self-pitying, and still obsessed with love, then I can't do anything about it. Perhaps the Wen family is also an option."

The mother thought about it all night, and the next day she went to her grandmother's house, saw Peilin, hugged her tightly, played with her for the whole day, and with tears in her eyes she handed her daughter a bowl of milk, which Peilin drank.

She felt that something was added to the milk, but she still drank it. Her mother hugged her and cried bitterly. When Peilin fell down, she thought she was going to die. The seven-year-old Peilin said to her mother: "Mom, you are fine."
