Jiapingguan Chronicle

"This big family is really glamorous on the outside, but dirty on the inside. Probably only the so-called patriarchs and elders live recklessly. Ordinary clan members live very hard and unsatisfactory lives. You can see this from your family." Jin Jing said a little With emotion, he sighed softly, and turned to look at Shen Cha. "I used to think that big families generally help each other. After all, one prospers and one loses, but it doesn't seem to be the case now."

"Some are, but some are not. You can't generalize. However, I really don't agree with the behavior of some famous families in the south of the Yangtze River." Shen Cha looked at Ning Cheng, "Your father passed away? But what did the patriarch and elders do?"

"Returning to the general, my father died of illness and has nothing to do with the patriarch. In fact, in all fairness, the patriarch is a relatively good person."

"Not a bad person?" Jin Jing looked at him with great interest, "I kicked your family out, how can I still get such an evaluation from you?"

"He also acted in accordance with the family rules. Moreover, after we left the family, he also sent us some money, which is considered to be the most benevolent. On the contrary, those few dignified elders, who appeared to be dignified on the surface, actually Pretend not to be a sage book, but a full-fledged male thieves and female prostitutes, and what they think about every day is not how to write good articles, train students, and do some deception." Ning Cheng sneered, and when he mentioned those elders, he immediately sneered. He gritted his teeth with hatred, "But the patriarch is a good person. Although he removed us from the family, and although his views are very rebellious in your opinion, he is already very good to our family. I still remember his kindness. of."

"Is it because of your father?"

"Yes!" Ning Cheng nodded, "My father used to be the playmate of the patriarch when he was a child. According to them, he was the companion of the patriarch. The relationship between the two is very good. It's just that after growing up, the two Due to the difference in status and my father's illness, my father gradually stayed away because he didn't want his brother to worry about him."

"What's wrong with your father?"

"I don't know. My mother never told me, and we didn't ask. I remember that my father had been suffering from illness for several years before he passed away. In my impression, he was just as skinny as a stick. His illness is very strange, the doctor said that it cannot cure the root cause, but can only relieve his pain, but death is a matter of time, let us prepare in advance."

"What kind of disease is it, do you know?"

"I don't know. I can only describe his appearance. He will feel very special pain all over his body. Once the attack occurs, he will pass out from the pain. Sometimes, he will spit out what he eats and vomit blood."

"What's wrong with this?" Jin Jing looked at her sister, "It sounds familiar."

"My master said before that some people in this world will suffer from such a disease. This is an incurable disease, which we call rock, but it is not common. But once this disease occurs, no matter what medicine is used, it will be It’s useless, we can only suffer slowly until death.” Jin Miaomiao sighed, “This disease is very tormenting, not only physically, but also mentally, not only tormenting the patient himself, but also tormenting the patient. Family members. There are many tragedies that happen to such patients. They feel that they are a burden, and living like this is simply worse than death. Therefore, such patients usually end their grievances when their family members are not paying attention."

"Is it that serious?"

"Yeah!" Jin Miaomiao sighed, "My master has come into contact with a few patients like this, and they all had the same result. And..."

"and also?"

"Don't worry!" Jin Miaomiao sighed again, "In order to delay the suffering of the patients and allow them to live longer, it will cost a lot of money. Families that were considered well-to-do suddenly became hard-pressed, and those who were already struggling were made even worse."

"The lord is right. The medicinal materials used for relief are also very precious, and our family can't afford them. But my parents didn't want to trouble the patriarch, so they concealed the illness, so that at the beginning, He had a lot of seizures, and each time he was very uncomfortable. Later, the patriarch only found out because the doctor who treated his father said something wrong."

"The doctor should have done it on purpose."

"I think so too, but whether it's intentional or unintentional, it's all because of someone's good intentions. We've got the point. If it wasn't for this doctor, my father's death would have been at least a year earlier." Ning Cheng smiled wryly, "After the patriarch learned about his father's illness, he came to my house to see him, and said that he must save his life no matter what. Although he is the patriarch, he is also my father's brother, and he cannot just watch his brothers disappear little by little. In this world."

"It's really important to say this, and it's also very responsible."

"Yes, so from that day on, the cost of seeing the doctor and the cost of a large amount of precious medicinal materials were all borne by the patriarch. My mother was always worried that the patriarch would be negligent in this, but from the time my father fell ill, until he After passing away, the patriarch did his best and never neglected, so no matter what the patriarch is, we must not forget his kindness."

"It's just that people leave tea to cool down. After your father passed away, the situation in your family will take a turn for the worse, isn't it?"

"This is inevitable, but the patriarch still takes care of my family. Otherwise, even though I went to ethnology, I would not be able to study with the husbands of the children in the main family. Those children did not look down on me because of my identity. Later It was because my elder brother left home to study, my studies were not going well, and I even had to leave the ethnology school to take care of my mother who couldn’t accept my father’s death and became a little abnormal. Our family’s situation was not so good. People who were still friendly to us because of the patriarch began to belittle, satirize, and sarcasm us, and even the elders began to draw my sister's attention."

"What didn't the patriarch say about these things?"

"It seems that during that time, the Ning family in Xijing City had some troubles, and the patriarch rushed to the capital to deal with it. He was away from the family for a year or two, but when he came back, he knew what had happened. Although the elders were also punished , gave my family some money to make up for it, but it was not painful, which made those people understand that the patriarch will not care about what happens in the future."

"So, they acted more recklessly, didn't they?" Seeing Ning Cheng nodding, Jin Jing sighed, "Then is it the patriarch's idea or the elder's idea to expel you from the family this time? If you can do this, if you can't show your family ugliness, he is not afraid that you will come out and talk nonsense? Especially here with your mother..." He pointed to his head, "Something is not right."

"Of course it's the elders. Those elders have new goals, so they are going to get rid of my sister. They originally wanted to kill my sister, but the patriarch couldn't get through. After all, they still have a little friendship. When a woman goes against the patriarch, their interests are firmly tied to the patriarch and the family."

"So, they encouraged that bastard brother-in-law of yours to beat and kick your sister, so that your sister didn't want to endure this kind of life anymore, so they proposed to divorce. This way, they can achieve their goal without killing your sister. ,Yes or no?"

"Yes!" Ning Cheng sighed, "The patriarch didn't bother to delve into these things, so he directly issued an order to remove the name and ordered our family to leave Chaozhou within half a month. In order to prevent us from talking nonsense outside, the elder just left Chaozhou We can’t even go to the state, so we sent people to chase and kill us until we couldn’t survive in Jiangnan. My mother didn’t know about it. My sister would rather endure her abuse than tell her what happened to her, let alone me telling her. Because she has a bad mind, if she is stimulated again, she may not do anything that we regret."

"Understood!" Jin Jing sighed, "The reason you came to the border is to avoid the elders' pursuit, including the reason you want to leave Da Xia, right?"

Ning Cheng didn't speak, but nodded silently.
