Chapter 80 The Word of Filial Piety
Chapter 80 The word filial piety
Her child was also targeted by trappers, and her husband couldn't resist the temptation and sold her.
In fact, the man only gave her a small bag of rations, which was not even enough to fit between her teeth. Her husband was also very frustrated at the time. Even if he had a good child, he would not have more than this amount of money to raise.
After some convincing, the man fell in love with her and said that he hadn't had sex with a woman for a long time. If she was willing to serve him once, he would give her a little more.
The woman lowered her head sadly and desperately, as if she wanted to hide all the dirt on her body.
"It's not easy to be discovered if you go deep into the mountains. You probably won't be able to find your child."
The hope in her eyes was shattered, and tears started to flow from her eyes that had been dry from crying for a long time.
Jin Yan sighed and comforted her, "You have to look forward to the future. I believe that all things will eventually be rewarded. It's not that they won't be rewarded, but that the time has not yet come!"
The woman looked at her miserably. She didn't know why, but she felt like she had gained courage when she saw her. "Thank you, you are right, those beasts will get the retribution they deserve!"
Baozi Niang nodded with satisfaction, "By the way, you may be hungry. Let me get you something to eat."
The woman quickly declined, "No, no, no, I can't take your things. It's not easy for you, and you are so kind to comfort me, I can't take it."
Baozi Niang immediately brought a steamed bun over and said, "Take it, it's not easy for us, any little bit we can help will be helpful."
Jin Yan also asked her to accept it thoughtfully, "Yes, eat the food first so that you can have strength later."
She looked at them with tears in her eyes, lowered her head, opened her mouth, and ate the buns into her stomach.
She was also very touched in her heart, "You are right, I have to eat enough to gain strength!"
"What are you going to do next?"
The woman took the food into her mouth in small bites, as if she was afraid that someone would snatch it away. Then she lowered her eyes and said, "My husband didn't know when I came out..."
She still has to go back.
"It doesn't matter if you go back, you have to live your life like this." Baozi Niang said beside her.
Jin Yan held her hand and said calmly, "Although we women are not as good as men, I think mothers are strong. Even though the child is gone, the person who separated you from your own flesh and blood is still alive. They don't deserve it!"
The woman suddenly became excited, and for some reason she saw a glimmer of light in her eyes, "You are right, anyone who harms my child does not deserve to live!"
In the end, the woman left, taking three steps and looking back until she entered the depths of the forest. She could only see the girl in her eyes, and she prayed again in her heart, wishing her a safe and smooth life.
Jin Yan looked away and packed things with Baozi Niang with a heavy heart, "Sister Song, why do you think women must depend on men to survive?"
Baozi Niang sighed and shook her head, "This has been like this since ancient times. Women have to support their husbands and educate their children, and respect the three obediences and four virtues, even if they are exposed to the public."
Fortunately, the relationship between the couple was harmonious, and they didn't have so many troubles on weekdays. Baocai didn't dare to be so bold as to sell the buns.
Simply pack your things and get going.
Jiang Yan also packed up the inside of the carriage and prepared to go out and take over Jin Yan's job.
But as soon as he came out, Jin Yan entered the carriage from the other side and didn't even bother to say a word.
With a melancholy look on his face, he let Jin Jiaojiao drive the carriage first and got in by himself.
"Ayan."
Jin Yan didn't even look at him, closed his eyes and prepared to walk out.
He immediately grabbed the person and said, "What's wrong with you? Are you still angry about what you just said?"
She glanced at him expressionlessly, then gently opened his hand and said, "Let go."
Jiang Yan took a deep breath and held her hand again, "Ayan, don't be angry. It's my fault. I shouldn't talk to you like that."
Jin Yan looked straight at him, "You always think this is why I'm angry?"
She was suddenly in a trance, and she felt a little disappointed for some reason.
Perhaps the glare in his eyes was so piercing that it pierced into Jiang Yan's heart. He said hurriedly, "I really didn't mean it. I just wanted to tell you that this kind of injustice has never been tolerated since ancient times."
No matter what, what can you do on your own?"
Jin Yan shook his head, "Before this, I always felt that we were in love with each other and had many things in common, but today I feel that you are really strange, just like those people outside."
She pulled her hand back in disappointment, got up and sat outside.
Jiang Yan was left alone in the car. He looked outside in confusion and closed his eyes in annoyance.
Jin Jiaojiao was also sitting outside, not knowing why the two of them were quarreling.
"Sister Ayan, what's wrong with you?"
Jin Yan leaned on the carriage, looking at the official road in front of him and shaking his head, "It's okay, you are busy with your business."
Jin Jiaojiao looked at the empty things in her hands. She had nothing to do. "Sister Ayan, if you have anything bothering you, just tell me. Don't keep it in your heart."
Jin Yan tilted his head and looked at her. Jin Jiaojiao was not young anymore. He had never read a book and didn't know the words. From then on, he realized that the greatest benefit now is to cherish food.
She thought maybe it was time to arrange some courses for her to learn some basic common sense and have a correct outlook on life.
"Jiaojiao, how about I teach you how to read and write?"
Jin Jiaojiao suddenly became interested, "Okay, then how will Sister Ayan teach me?"
"I'll tell you a story called Guo Ju Burian'er."
Guo Ju's family was originally well off. After his father died, he divided the family property into two shares and gave them to his two younger brothers. He was solely supported by his mother and was extremely filial to her.
Later, the family gradually became poor, and his wife gave birth to a son. Guo Ju's mother also loved her grandson very much. She was always reluctant to eat, but left the only food she had for her grandson.
Guo Ju felt deeply uneasy because of this. He felt that raising this child would inevitably affect the support of his mother, so he discussed with his wife: "We can have another son, but the mother cannot be resurrected after death. It is better to bury the son and save some food to support the mother."
When they were digging a hole, they suddenly saw a jar of gold two feet underground, with the words: "God has given Guo Ju a filial son, but officials cannot take it from him, and the people cannot take it away from him."
The couple received gold, returned home to honor their mother, and were able to raise their children at the same time.
From then on, Guo Ju not only lived a good life, but also his reputation for filial piety spread throughout the world.
After hearing this story, Jin Jiaojiao opened his mouth in shock. Is there such a ridiculous thing in this world?
She was first shocked that gold could be dug out from the ground, and then she was afraid that Guo Ju would be cruel to let his son be buried alive even though he was a dutiful son.
Jin Yan turned to look at her, "What do you think of this Guo Ju? He is a filial son?"
Jin Jiaojiao lowered his head and thought seriously, then shook his head, "Sister Ayan, although I can't understand what Guo Ju did, he does put his mother first, so he should be a filial son, right?"
"Then do you think such a thing is right?"
Jin Jiaojiao hesitated now. It was certainly right to be filial to one's parents, but burying one's own child would be too cruel.
"If you were Guo Ju, would your thoughts be the same as his?"
Jin Jiaojiao immediately wanted to refute, how could this be the same? She was not a man.
"Let me ask you again, if you were that three-year-old child, how would you feel when you heard that your father was going to bury yourself?"
Three questions in a row completely confused Jin Jiaojiao.
She looked at her at a loss, "I, I don't know."
