Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 4 Traveling (4)
Li Zhu suddenly remembered that the gossip he heard when he ran out of the house seemed to be about her aunt's house.

She remembered that her eldest aunt Li was a bright spot in the gloomy life of the original owner, and she was the best person in this family.

Aunt Li Xiu and her father Li Dafu are half-siblings.Grandma Liu abused my aunt in every possible way after entering the house, and my aunt was not soft-tempered, so the two had a lot of quarrels.Later, for money, Mrs. Liu insisted on marrying her aunt to the foolish son of Zhou's landlord in her natal village. The aunt refused to do so, so she escaped and married her uncle in a neighboring village.

Because of this incident, and a series of subsequent incidents, coupled with the disagreement with the Xiao family, the eldest aunt became farther and farther away from her mother's family.Since grandpa passed away, there has been less communication.However, she was very kind to Li Zhu, the niece.Food and clothing are not less.It's a pity that very few fell into Li Zhu's hands in the end.Food is often taken away by Li Ji, and clothing is taken away by the third and second sisters.

Later, my aunt seldom sent anything, and whenever she had the opportunity, she took Li Zhu to live there for a while.Yuanshen's happiest thing is to visit relatives at the aunt's house.But in the past two years, Xiao Shi has even deprived her of this fun, because she is getting older and able to do more work.Xiao Shi was reluctant to part with this labor.She was only allowed to go for a few days during the slack season.

"What happened to my aunt's house?" Li Zhu asked rhetorically.At that time, she only wanted to escape and only listened to a few ears.It was not at all clear what was going on in her home.

"Oh, so you really don't know." The woman didn't show any disappointment on her face, and she began to happily tell the news she knew.

"Your cousin Yang Mo, when he went out with his classmates, he met a young master molesting a common girl, so he stepped forward to help him, but he was beaten up by the young master's servant. I heard that all internal organs were broken..."

Li Zhu's body couldn't help trembling, she remembered her cousin, he was born with a handsome face, and treated others kindly.

The woman sighed and said, "I heard that her arm is disabled, she can't write, and she won't be able to read in the future. Why is your aunt's life so hard?"

Can't read?Li Zhu understood how much her aunt's family had devoted to her cousin, and now their family must be gloomy.

No, she has to go and have a look.Based on the friendship that the aunt's family has for Yuanshen, even if she can't help much, she still has to go and have a look.
