Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 382 Neglect

She pulled a chair over and sat down, telling the story: "This happened when Song Ying was a little over three years old. On New Year's Eve of that year, she was washing her knees. She pulled up her trouser legs and they kept falling down. She pulled them up and they kept falling down. Your grandmother was so annoyed by washing that she simply tied them up with a rope.

After washing, I forgot to untie the rope for her. I didn't realize it until the weather got warmer in March or April and she needed to take off her cotton pants.

At that time, the rope had already made two big blood grooves on my legs. I applied medicinal wine but it didn't heal. I had to take him to Dr. Ma for treatment. Dr. Ma said that the wound was too big and it had been too long, so it would be difficult for it to heal. He sewed it up with a needle, and it healed later. "

Song Ying couldn't believe what he heard.

Poor families could not afford charcoal fires, so in order to prevent illness, they did not take baths in the winter and usually only washed their feet.

The local custom is that on New Year’s Eve, you must wash your knees, so that whenever you go to someone else’s house in the future, you will happen to happen to happen to be eating time and will not go hungry.

However, such a deep blood groove was not formed in one or two days, or five or ten days. It took three or four months, a full three or four months!

For three or four months, they never changed her inner pants, and never took off her cotton pants!

Moreover, she had to take off her outer pants before going to bed every night and change them frequently on weekdays. Neither Grandma Li nor Second Aunt Yang noticed when they took off her outer pants!

Song Ying's heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle, and it hurt so much.

Yes, neither Li nor Yang were cruel people, they just ignored her and didn't care about her.

Luo Yanxing opened his mouth for a long time, and finally spoke, "This is impossible? It's been three or four months, and you haven't changed Song Ying's pants? Grandma Li and Aunt Yang don't look like such sloppy people, right?

Also, it must be painful to be strangled all the time, Song Ying, don't you feel it?"

Song Ying pursed her lips and thought for a while, "I remember saying that my legs hurt, but grandma scolded me for being delicate and complaining about leg pain after walking a few steps. She said that I didn't want to walk and wanted my father to carry me."

Luo Yanxing was speechless again, his eyes full of heartache. It must have been very painful to have his legs tied up for three or four months.

Being stared at by her with such a distressed look, Song Ying's suppressed grievance suddenly burst out, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Luo Yanxing reached out and hugged her, patting her arm gently, "Cry if you want to."

Song Ying wiped his eyes fiercely and said, "It's okay. Now that I'm grown up, I regard myself as extremely important. I always put my own comfort first and will never neglect myself again!"

Aunt Song also felt that it was outrageous, but she still helped her mother and sister-in-law explain, "At that time, your second aunt had just found out that she was pregnant with your little brother. She had severe morning sickness, and the baby was also small. Your grandmother not only had to take care of you two little ones, but also your second aunt. She neglected it when she was busy, and she didn't want to do this."

"Second Aunt, you don't have to explain for them. I have my own yardstick in my heart. I know very well who is really good to me and who is just saying nice things. This is not something that happened in a day or two. It took three or four months, a full three or four months!

Whenever they took off my pants, they touched them and I could feel something was wrong! Maybe they had touched them before, but because they didn't care or because it was too troublesome, they never took off my cotton pants to take a look!" When he said this, Song Ying's tone could not help but become excited.

"Song Ying also complained of leg pain, but they didn't even check to see what was wrong." Luo Yanxing also felt that there was nothing to explain.

In the past, she felt that Yang was very hypocritical. She was obviously not very good to Song Ying, but she boasted to others every day about how good she was to her niece. She was more careful with her than with her own daughter, fearing that something might go wrong.

Now it seems that Li, the grandmother, is no worse than others. She says that she worked hard and raised Song Ying with great difficulty, but she didn't even change her child's clothes for several months. She didn't even check on the child when he cried out for leg pain and just started scolding him.

Moreover, she did not take Song Ying to see a doctor immediately after discovering the disease, but treated him at home by applying medicated wine. With her care, Song Ying was able to live safely to the age of remembering and taking care of himself. He was truly blessed with a good life.

Aunt Song sighed softly, "No matter what, your grandmother is much better than many people. For a girl like you whose mother died when she was just born, unless you happen to meet many women in the same village who are nursing their babies, no one would specially take out food and money to hire someone to feed you. Some families, even if it's a boy, are reluctant to take out so much food to find someone to feed you."

"I don't compare myself to others." Song Ying wiped away her tears and said in a cold voice, "I don't think so lowly of myself. I don't think I am born inferior to others. I should be thankful and grateful for being able to have a meal and survive.

In this regard, I want to compare myself with Song Tian and Song Yuan. Why should grandma treat them better but ask me to be more filial to her?

From now on, I will be half as filial to grandma as Song Tian and Song Yuan!"

"You don't have to cut pork for them in the future. When I think about how you bought so much meat and didn't get a single good word from you, if I hadn't wanted to beat drums and gongs every time I brought it back so that everyone in the village would know, people might have believed her lies and spread rumors behind your back that you are unfilial." Luo Yanxing agreed with this decision 100%. When she thinks back to what happened that day, she feels so angry that her liver aches.

Aunt Song sighed, "Don't say angry words. Filial piety can kill people. If you are labeled as unfilial, your life will be ruined."

Song Ying sneered repeatedly and totally ignored what she said.

Aunt Song was helpless and changed the subject, "Didn't you say you had a beautiful little white cat? How come I didn't see it?"

"It's a little scared of the new environment. Lock it in Yanxing and I's room so that it can get used to it first. Second aunt, don't go upstairs if you have nothing to do during this time."

Song Ying paused and said, "Some time ago, one of Tangtang's eyes was red and swollen. A kitten can't speak or cry out in pain. Second Aunt, guess how I found out?"

Before Aunt Song could guess, Song Ying continued, "It seldom blinks. When I was playing with it, I saw one of its eyes blink from time to time. I thought it was a bit strange, so I pried open its eyelids and took a look. I discovered it in time, so I mixed a few spoonfuls of medicine in its food and it was cured.

This is the difference between paying attention and not paying attention. If Song Tian and Song Yuan sneezed one day, grandma and second aunt would notice it. My legs were squeezed and bleeding, and I must have walked unnaturally for a long time, but they didn't notice it. "

At this point, Song Ying paused again. The problem of walking posture could concern not only grandma and second aunt, but also dad and second uncle.

Dad loves her so much, why didn’t he notice it?
