Chapter 8 Confused
Lian Qing's walking posture is extremely beautiful. With a slight swing, the pleated skirt on her body will float gently, like a flying butterfly, but Fuduo pays attention to not only these, but also the familiar corners of the skirt.
Although she only got a little bit at that time, the pink butterfly embroidered at the end of the skirt made her remember so much that she couldn't erase it. Involutally, Fuduoduo sighed deeply and filled with deep sadness.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you? But what's wrong with you?" Seeing Fuduo's unhappy face, Bi Tao frowned and stroked her forehead from time to time, thinking that she was sick again. She put her hand on her forehead to explore the temperature, and immediately had a slightly hot airflow drilled into her texture.
Bi Tao was shocked and quickly called Bilian, who was sending Lian Qing back, and said, "Bilian, come here quickly! Why do I think my aunt's body is so hot? Come and explore.
Hearing this, Bilian came forward to explore. As Bi Tao said, the temperature was really high.
"Sister, what should I do?" After all, Bitao is very careless. Even if she is careful, she will panic for a moment when she encounters an emergency. After a while, he told the eldest wife, and after a while, he said no. He wanted to go and ask the doctor for medical treatment, but he couldn't take a step.
Seeing this, Bi Tao quickly comforted her and said, "Bilian, don't panic! Go and get a basin of cold water and a cloth towel, and let your aunt cool down first.
"Oh." Bilian hurriedly retreated and prepared.
"Auntie, how about helping you to rest at **?" Bi Tao helped the drowsy Fu Duoduo and walked to the shelf bed, but her backhand was caught by her.
Bitao was confused and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?"
Fuduoduo shook his painful head and said hoarsely, "Bitao, I'm so tired. I'm really tired. I worked hard enough in my last life. I just want to live a simple life, but why does God always play tricks on me? Why do you think that's why? The more pitiful I am, the happier he will be, don't you think?
At this time, Fu Duoduo was very irritable and just wanted to find someone to talk about his depression, and Bi Tao in front of him was a good candidate, and he couldn't help pouring out all the things buried in her heart.
"Auntie, you are talking nonsense about your previous life, and your good days are coming. Come on, lie down and rest for a while. When you wake up, it will be a beautiful scene. Bitao didn't care. She just regarded Fu Duoduo's illness and said some confused words.
"Beautiful? What I didn't experience in my last life will not exist in my life. I'm afraid it will be a bloody scene when I wake up. Look at these high-ranking ladies and aunts who came to this small courtyard and said that they came to visit the hospital with good intentions. Maybe they are secretly manipulating something behind their back, but the only thing that can be sure is that I am now their pawn, just a pawn!" Fu Duoduo couldn't help shouting at the end.
"Auntie!" Bitao was surprised and hurried to stop Fu Duoduo's nonsense. She looked around and said, "Auntie, you think too much. How can things be as complicated as you think? Maybe... Maybe..." Bi Tao wanted to comfort Fu Duoduo, but she couldn't speak.
"Bi Tao, you don't have to comfort me. I know your kindness. I think you go to inquire this afternoon and know more or less about their intentions. Needless to say, I can guess it. Maybe the pregnant new aunt came in, which made those people uneasy, so they want to use me as a target. Don't you think that right?
Bi Tao was speechless. Judging from the news she inquired, it did have such a layer of meaning, but it was not all. But when she just wanted to open her mouth to talk to Fu Duoduo, Bilian came in with a wooden basin and could only change her words and said, "Grandma, don't think too much. Don't you often say that the boat is naturally straight to the bridge? Everything will be fine."
This time, Fuduoduo didn't say much and lay down with Bitao's intention. After the pouring just now, she felt much better, and the melancholy between her eyebrows faded a lot, revealing a smile and said, "Bitao, fortunately, I have you. It's my luck to have you company. I hope you can accompany me for a lifetime, but I know it's impossible.
Bi Tao paused and almost made the cloth towel handed over by Bilian fall to the ground, but she still asked quietly, "Grandma, do you know?"
"What do you know? Do you know that you will get married one day? I'm really jealous of your husband. He can grow old with you. Fu Duoduo narrowed his eyes slightly and did not notice the strangeness of Bitao because of his high fever. Instead, he said to himself, "Bitao, if you don't meet a man who treats you well when you grow up, then don't marry him. Just be with me, okay?"
"Auntie, where's the maidservant, the maidservant Bilian?" Seeing that Fuduoduo was so unusual to Bitao, Bilian couldn't help asking.
Fuduoduo opened his eyes, looked up at the shining light of Bilian, and said, "You, you'd better get married when you grow up, so that you don't have a headache."
Bilian curled her lips and said, "Auntie, you are really biased."
Fuduo smiled and said nothing, closed his eyes and let the darkness invade her.
Bitao was afraid of Bilian's heart. Seeing that Fuduoduo was asleep and the fever was under control, he thought that Bilian would get along with Fuduoduo in the future, so he took her outside the house and comforted her softly, "Bilian, I have been serving my aunt for a long time, so grandma will care about me so much. According to your lively nature, after getting along with your aunt for a period of time, you will be more obedient than me, you..."
Bilian waved her hand carelessly and said, "You don't have to explain too much, I won't taste it. After all, you can't serve your aunt in the future. I'm not angry.
Bi Tao pulled her face and smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I'm going to leave my aunt after tonight. You should serve your aunt carefully in the future, but you can't be careless at all. Before he finished, he spared no time to give her some details of Fuduoduo's life.
When Bitao said about the same, it was already dark.
Although Bitao still feels that there is still a basket of things that have not been handed over, it is time to get the food box in the kitchen, so she can only give up and talk to Bilian when she has time in the evening.
Bilian, who stood outside the wind, had been impatient to listen to Bitao's endless words for a long time, but because she was still in front of Fuduo, she could only listen with one ear, but her mind had already been empty, and a word had not been left in her heart. Hearing that Bitao was going to the kitchen to get food for tonight, she hurriedly invited her and ran away.
Looking at Bilian's distant back, Bi Tao shook her head helplessly, said 'child's heart' and went back to the house.
When Bi Tao came to the bed, Bi Tao saw Fu Duoduo sleeping with a red face. She was worried about the temperature again and made sure that the fever had subsided. Then she sighed leisurely and sat at the foot of the bed and watched her sleeping face.
This afternoon, she not only inquired about what Fuduo told, but also ushered in her future direction. When she saw it, she did not visit her mother unless she went to the house and asked her for monthly money.
Thinking of the scene at that time, she was as bitter as eating yellow lotus.
"Daughter, you have been tired these years." As soon as Bitao's mother Lou Shi saw her, she immediately put her arms around her shoulder with wet eyes. She looked like an affectionate mother and daughter.
Bitao knows her mother's temperament and knows that her visit is not just a simple visit. It is inevitable that she came here because her family lacks money.
Thinking of the change of the wind in the house from the mouth of the ladies, Bitao was in a dilemma. After all, aunts are really like what they said, so there are still many places to use silver, and it is necessary to play some up and down, but aunt's moon silver is only one. Two, coupled with the bad use of those tricky tents, they are less than one or two every time they go to get them, not to mention that in order to make their aunts live a better life, it is necessary to honor the slaves of status.
In this way, aunt not only doesn't save money every month, but sometimes Bitao will secretly supplement some.
Thinking of this, Bi Tao gently pushed away from Lou and said apologetically, "Mom, is the money at home not enough to chew? My daughter hasn't received this month's monthly money yet. Why don't you come back another day?
Mr. Lou's face darkened, but he soon looked a little and said anxiously, "My mother came today, not to reach out to get money from you, but to take you out of the house to enjoy happiness."
"Enjoy happiness? What kind of blessing do you enjoy?" In an instant, Bitao's face turned white in an instant, her heart beat like a drum, and she felt that what Lou Shi said next was not what she wanted to hear.
Speaking of this, Lou's eyebrows smiled and said, "Of course, it's a great blessing. Your distant aunt's son wants to marry you and gave us ten taels of silver as a bride price. Ten taels of silver, which is more valuable than the girls in ten miles and eight villages. I will give you a long face! The wedding date is set for the day after tomorrow. Don't leave your bags, especially the money. This is what you have worked hard to earn in Yufu, and you can't take advantage of others. With that, Lou was about to pull Bi Tao away.
Bitao shook away the Lou family and said, "Mom, how can you make this marriage without my consent? What's more, I have signed a death deed with Yu Fu, and it is impossible to go with you. At this time, Bitao's heart was cold. She didn't expect that her mother would sell her to a stupid man as a wife for ten taels of silver, regardless of breaking the contract with Yufu.
Will the mother, who just regards money as her life, lose 20 taels of the rest of the house for ten taels of silver? Bitao is very suspicious.
Sure enough, I heard Lou's explanation: "Don't worry, I have agreed with the eldest wife before to let Bilian replace you, and the eldest wife also agreed, so you can rest assured. This account is really true, and I will never lose my own money.
Bitao was very powerless, but she didn't expect the old lady to agree.
Thinking about it, Bitao thought of Fuduoduo, but she also thought that Fuduoduo was also difficult to protect herself, and it was a good opportunity for her to walk flat. She must not add annoyance to her at this time, so that the eldest wife had estranged her.
After thinking about it, Bitao only has the way out of the word 'reveal'.
