A baby crying can be heard from the widow's room
In ancient times, there was a small village called Qingyang, the population of the village was not large, but everyone lived a calm and unpretentious life. In this village, there was a young widow named Akizuki. Qiuyue is gentle and lovely, and since her husband died of illness, she has lived alone in a corner of the village, relying on her mother-in-law.
Qiuyue's mother-in-law is a kind old man, and although she lost her son, she still loves Qiuyue like a daughter. However, the people of the village were always full of suspicion and discussion about the young widow. At that time, the life of a widow was already full of hardships, let alone a young widow with good looks.
One night, a baby's cry suddenly came from Qiuyue's room. The sound echoed through the silent village, arousing curiosity and speculation among the villagers. The next day, word spread throughout the village, and people talked about this strange phenomenon.
"How can there be a baby's cry in Qiuyue's house? Her husband has been dead for so long. ”
"yes, do you mean she...... She can't have a baby secretly, right?"
"Maybe there's a man out there, but heck, I can't tell. ”
The villagers' discussions pierced the hearts of Qiu Yue and her mother-in-law like needles. Although the mother-in-law trusts Qiuyue, she is also inevitably affected by these gossips. She decided to have a good talk with Qiu Yue and find out the truth of the matter.
That night, Qiuyue sat quietly in her room as usual, and her mother-in-law gently knocked on her door.
"Qiuyue, let's talk. The mother-in-law's tone was soft but a little worried.
Qiu Yue raised her head, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "Mother, you sit. Is there anything you want to tell me?"
The mother-in-law sat down next to Qiu Yue and held her hand. "Qiuyue, tell me, what's going on with the baby's cry coming from the room?
Qiu Yue was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and slowly told her story.
"Mother, in fact, that cry ...... I simulated it in a special way. Qiu Yue said in a low voice.
It turns out that Akizuki has traveled abroad for a while and has learned an ancient ventriloquist technique that can imitate the sound of a baby's cry. She did this because she often felt lonely and lonely and wanted to have a child by her side. And this simulated baby crying is her longing for maternal love and family warmth.
After listening to Qiu Yue's explanation, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in her eyes. She felt distressed and proud of Akizuki's strength and intelligence. But she also realizes that this simulated baby cry has caused misunderstanding and suspicion among the villagers, which is not good for Akizuki and even the reputation of the whole family.
"Qiuyue, I know you are bitter in your heart, but it is not a way to go on like this. We need to find a way to clear up the misunderstanding and let the villagers know the truth. The mother-in-law said earnestly.
Qiu Yue nodded silently, her heart full of gratitude and respect. She knew that her mother-in-law was for her good, and for the sake of the honor of the whole family. So, she decided to face this challenge with her mother-in-law, clear up the misunderstanding and regain the respect of the villagers.
However, just as they decide to clear up their misunderstanding, an unexpected discovery makes the whole thing even more confusing.
When her mother-in-law was helping Qiu Yue tidy up her room, she accidentally found a belly pocket in her closet. This belly pocket is embroidered with exquisite patterns and looks very delicate. But to the shock of the mother-in-law, there were some blood stains on her belly pocket.
A strong sense of uneasiness welled up in her heart. Could it be that Qiu Yue is really hiding something, and what is going on with this bloodstain?
The mother-in-law took the belly pocket to find Qiu Yue, and asked in a serious tone, "Qiu Yue, what's going on, where did the blood on this belly pocket come from?"
Qiu Yue saw the belly pocket in her mother-in-law's hand, and her face instantly turned pale. She took her belly pocket with trembling hands, tears welling up in her eyes. "Mother-in-law, I'...... I didn't want to worry you. This bloodstain ...... It's my own. ”
Under the questioning of her mother-in-law, Qiu Yue finally told the truth. It turned out that she had been depressed since the death of her husband, and her physical condition was deteriorating. Some time ago, she suddenly felt unwell and coughed up blood. She was afraid that her mother-in-law would worry, so she kept it hidden. As for the blood stains on her belly pocket, it was stained when she accidentally coughed up blood.
After listening to Qiuyue's story, the mother-in-law had mixed feelings in her heart. She felt sorry for Qiuyue's experience, and was angry that she was hiding her illness. But more than that, it is the deep love for this strong and kind daughter-in-law.
"Qiuyue, why are you so stupid? If you are not feeling well, you should have told me earlier, and we can find a way to treat it together. The mother-in-law said, tears welling up in her eyes.
Qiu Yue held her mother-in-law's hand tightly, and tears slipped down the overlapping hands of the two. "Mother-in-law, I'm sorry to worry you. I'll pay attention to it later, I'll take good care of myself. ”
However, just when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were releasing their previous suspicions and supporting each other, the rumors about Qiuyue in the village intensified. Some people say that she secretly gave birth to a child, some say that she has a man outside, and there are even rumors that she is a monster who will confuse people with ventriloquism.
These nonsense made Qiu Yue feel pressured and made her mother-in-law feel very angry. She decides to take action and clear Akizuki's name.
The mother-in-law took Qiuyue to the central square of the village, and faced the villagers who had gathered, she said in a loud voice: "Fellow villagers, please listen to me. The rumors about my daughter-in-law Qiuyue are all nonsense. She was a kind, strong woman who didn't do anything against women's morals. ”
There was a lot of discussion among the villagers, some believing the mother-in-law's words, while others were skeptical. At this moment, a snarky voice came from the crowd: "You said no, no, who believes it? What is the baby's crying? And what about the bloody belly pocket in her room?"
The mother-in-law took a deep breath and replied loudly, "That baby's cry is just the sound that Qiu Yue imitated in ventriloquism, and she only did it because she was lonely and lonely. As for the blood stains on the belly pocket...... "The mother-in-law paused and continued, "It was the blood that Qiu Yue coughed up when she was unwell and accidentally stained it. She has been hiding her illness because she is afraid that we will be worried. ”
After listening to the mother-in-law's explanation, the villagers in the square fell silent. They begin to re-examine their perceptions and attitudes towards the autumn moon. And that caustic voice never sounded again.
Although the mother-in-law's clarification has caused some villagers to change their views on Qiuyue, there are still some who have doubts. My mother-in-law knows that it won't happen overnight to completely change the villagers' mindset, but she firmly believes that as long as she persists, good results will always come out.
However, at this moment, an unexpected figure appeared - an old man who claimed to be a distant relative of Qiuyue came to Qingyang Village. He brought a news that shocked everyone: Qiuyue turned out to be the orphan of a large family, and the family was sent here for foster care because of an accident that caused the family to fall into disarray. Now the old man has found her and wants to take her back to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors.
The news exploded in the village like a bombshell, and the villagers talked about the sudden turn of events, while the mother-in-law and Akizuki fell into deep thought, knowing that the appearance of this old man would bring earth-shaking changes to their lives, but they had no way of knowing exactly how it would change. can only silently wait for the arrangement of fate......
With the arrival of the old man, the mystery of Qiuyue's life experience has gradually surfaced. It turned out that she was not an ordinary woman, but a nobleman with a prominent background. However, this accident caused her to live in the countryside and become an ordinary village woman. Now the family wants to find this long-lost descendant, and hopes that she can return to the family to take on her due responsibilities and obligations.
Faced with this sudden change, Qiu Yue felt very dazed and overwhelmed. She didn't know if she should leave the place where she had lived for many years and follow the old man back to that strange family. The mother-in-law is deep in thought, and she doesn't know how to persuade Qiuyue to make the right choice.
After a fierce ideological struggle, Qiu Yue finally made a decision, she chose to stay in Qingyang Village and continue to rely on her mother-in-law for her life. She told the old man that she was used to life here and that she had developed a deep bond with her mother-in-law, and that she was reluctant to leave this place full of warmth and love.
After hearing Qiuyue's decision, the old man sighed, expressed respect for her choice, and left some money as compensation for Qiuyue and her mother-in-law, and then left Qingyang Village. Since then, no one in the village has ever talked about Qiuyue's background, and she continues to live a peaceful and happy life.
However, despite Akizuki's choice, her life has not returned to complete peace as a result. Because the appearance of the old man, and the secret he brought about Qiu Yue's life experience, still threw it into the lake like a stone, causing ripples.
The villagers' attitudes towards Autumn Moon have become more complicated. They admired her tenacity and kindness, but were also curious and surprised by her aristocratic background. Some even began to approach Akizuki on their own initiative, hoping to hear more stories about that mysterious family from her.
Qiu Yue felt a little helpless about this, she didn't want to be the center of attention. But her mother-in-law told her that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to change the villagers' perception of her.
"Qiuyue, you can't hide all the time, you need to face all this. "I know you don't want to be disturbed, but it's also an opportunity for everyone to really get to know you." ”
Qiuyue followed her mother-in-law's advice and began to try to communicate with the villagers. She recounted her life story and shared her life in the countryside. The villagers were moved by her honesty and kindness, and gradually let go of their doubts and prejudices.
However, it was at this time that an unexpected challenge arose.
One night, Qiu Yue suddenly felt unwell and the pain was unbearable. The mother-in-law hurriedly called the village doctor, but the doctor was helpless and advised them to go to the big hospital in the city.
Mother-in-law and Qiu Yue rushed to the big hospital in the city overnight. After a series of tests, the doctor told them the shocking news: Qiu Yue was suffering from a rare disease that required immediate treatment.
This news was like a bolt from the blue for her mother-in-law and Qiu Yue. They didn't expect that fate would play such a trick on people. But they also know that they can't give up at this time, they must persevere.
During the days of treatment in the hospital, Qiuyue and her mother-in-law depended on each other. They encouraged and supported each other to face this great challenge together. After the villagers learned of Qiu Yue's condition, they also came to visit her and cheer her on.
After a period of treatment, Akizuki's condition was finally brought under control. The doctor told them that they could be discharged home, but that they would need to come back to the hospital regularly for follow-ups.
Qiuyue, who returned to Qingyang Village, was warmly welcomed by the villagers. They prepared a grand celebration for her to thank her for her contribution and dedication to the village. Qiu Yue is also grateful for the care and support of the villagers, and she decides to work harder to live up to everyone's expectations.
In the days that followed, Akizuki continued to live a peaceful and happy life with her mother-in-law. They farmed together, cooked together, and chatted together...... Life is simple, but it is full of warmth and joy.
And the rumors about Qiu Yue gradually dissipated into the air, replaced by praises of her strength and kindness. She knows that this is the result of her sincerity and hard work, and it also makes her cherish everything she has now.
However, life is always full of unknowns and uncertainties. Not long after Qiuyue's condition improved, Qingyang Village ushered in another unprecedented challenge.
It was a sunny afternoon, and suddenly the sky changed, dark clouds and a violent wind rose. Immediately afterwards, a sudden torrential rain poured down, which lasted for three days and three nights. The rain poured in like an upside-down river, and the entire Qingyang Village fell into a vast ocean.
Houses were flooded, crops were destroyed, and villagers were in an unprecedented predicament. In the face of this sudden disaster, Qiu Yue stepped forward and organized the villagers to carry out self-rescue work. She led the group to build temporary shelters, resettle the affected people, and personally cooked food for the villagers.
Under the leadership of Qiu Yue, the villagers united to face this disaster together. They helped and encouraged each other, showing the brilliance of humanity in difficult situations. After several days and nights of fighting, the flood waters finally receded, and Qingyang Village gradually returned to its former tranquility.
This disaster made Qiu Yue more aware of the fragility and preciousness of life. She decided to cherish every day and use her strength to help more people. So, she started to carry out various public welfare activities in the village to help those in need. Her kindness has touched countless villagers and made her the pride of Qingyang Village.
However, life didn't stop challenging her because of this. During a public welfare activity, Qiu Yue got acquainted with an orphan named Xiaohua. Xiaohua is smart and clever, but she can't go to school because of her poor family. Qiu Yue saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart, and she decided to sponsor Xiaohua to go to school so that she could have a bright future.
With the help of Qiuyue, Xiaohua successfully entered the school to study. She cherished this hard-won opportunity, worked hard to learn knowledge, and became a good student with excellent character and learning. And Qiu Yue has also been paying attention to her growth and progress, and is proud and proud of her.
As time goes by, Akizuki and her mother-in-law's life is getting better and better. They have spent many happy times in Qingyang Village, but also experienced countless challenges and tests. But no matter when and where, they always firmly believe that as long as there is love, hope and dreams in their hearts, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and challenges!
And the mystery about the once sensational cry of a baby and the bloody belly pocket has faded into oblivion over time. For Akizuki, that is a thing of the past, but for the villagers, what they prefer to remember is Akizuki's image of being strong, kind, and helpful, and her contribution to the village.
Nowadays, when the autumn moon is mentioned in Qingyang Village, everyone will give a thumbs up and be amazed. They know that this woman not only has a beautiful appearance and a gentle heart, but also has the quality of perseverance and selfless dedication!
