Seventh sister-in-law is a dwarf. She is less than one meter tall, very fat and has poor legs and feet. She walked from side to side. When I was a child, I never understood why Brother Qi was so old and wanted to marry this dwarf, Sister Qi. Later, I learned what happened from my mother.
His parents died when he was very young. He wore hundreds of clothes and ate hundreds of meals since he was a child. At that time, the life of every family was very difficult, and it was common for Qi Ge not to have enough to eat and be hungry. Due to malnutrition, his body is very thin, and he lacks the cultivation of his elders since childhood. When he grows up, he can't live at all, and his family is very poor.
With the growth of age, the elders began to worry about his marriage. People everywhere looked for him as a matchmaker, but no one wanted to marry his daughter.
It was not until Qi Ge was almost thirty years old that he finally gave him a matchmaker. The other party is the daughter of a family in a neighboring village. She is clever, ingenious and a good housekeeper. Just because she is a dwarf and old, she has never been married.
For Brother Qi, anyone who wants to get married with himself is very welcome. In this way, Qi Ge and Qi Jie came together.
As the matchmaker said, Seventh Sister-in-law is smart and ingenious, and she is a good housekeeping expert. Soon after Qisao entered the door, Qige was like a different person, wearing clean clothes, walking and talking in spirit, and their small home was cleaned up by Qisao.
Seventh sister-in-law can embroider and do needlework well. Few people visit Ziggy's house. Since the seventh sister-in-law got married, the big tree in front of their house has become a gathering place for girls and kannika nimtragol. Everyone came to Qi Sao to learn needlework. Seventh sister-in-law has a cheerful personality and a high voice, and there are hearty laughter from time to time.
Soon, the seventh sister-in-law was pregnant, and the seventh brother was full of joy. The old people in the village are very worried. How can such a small seven sister-in-law have a baby smoothly?
Seven sister-in-law is in labor, and it's really difficult to give birth. When people dragged her to the hospital, the child was stillborn. In order to save the adult's life, the doctor removed the uterus of the seventh sister-in-law. This means that Brother Qi and Sister Qi will never have children again in their lives. Yuanyang in life and bad karma played a joke and pushed them to the abyss of pain.
A cousin volunteered to adopt her newborn son to Qi Ge and Qi Sao to calm their broken hearts.
Seven brothers and seven sisters-in-law gave all their love to their sons. No matter how hard life at home is, I never let my son suffer any injustice. From small to large, children are dressed neatly and eat fat for nothing, which is happier than other children of the same age in the village. The child never doubted his identity.
After the child got married, he was very filial to his seven sisters-in-law. Seven brothers and seven sisters-in-law brought up a granddaughter and two grandchildren, and the children were particularly close to grandparents.
Every market or meeting, Qi Ge pulls a cart, and his wife and their grandchildren sit on it, laughing all the way to the downtown market and theater five miles away.
On one occasion, I accompanied my mother to watch a play in an open-air theater. Seven brothers and seven sisters-in-law and their grandchildren are sitting near us. Halfway through, their daughter-in-law handed over soda and snacks from time to time. The children snuggled up to their grandparents' arms to eat and drink, and from time to time they handed the food and drink to their grandparents' mouths. Seven brothers and seven sisters-in-law have a happy smile on their faces.
It wasn't long before this happy day, and disaster came to Brother Seven. Once when going out, Brother Qi accidentally fell off a tricycle and hit his head. His son sent him to the hospital in time, which made him struggle back from death.
However, after coming back from the hospital, Brother Qi has changed. His face was pale, his eyes were glassy, he did things upside down, and his words were vague.
When Brother Qi is in good health, he is a strong worker at home. He is indispensable for feeding cattle, plowing land and carrying water. Now, he is ill. Not only can he not do any work, but he also eats and drinks for nothing at home. Although the son and daughter-in-law didn't say anything, their faces became more and more ugly, and even Seventh Sister-in-law began to accuse him.
Soon, Qi Ge committed suicide by jumping off a cliff. It is said that he sat on the kang and smoked for a long time the night he committed suicide. Then she put on New Pants, a new cotton-padded coat made by her seventh sister-in-law, and disappeared into the heavy night. When the family reacted and went out to look for him, there was no sign of him at all.
After dawn the next day, someone found the bloody seventh brother under the highest cliff in the village. Before jumping off the cliff, Qi Ge took off his new cotton-padded coat. No one can tell, Qi Ge, who has been poor all his life, is worried about jumping off a cliff and breaking his cotton-padded clothes, or that he will not die wearing cotton-padded clothes.
People never dreamed that one day ten years later, Qisao also chose to commit suicide to end her life.
The last time I saw my seventh sister-in-law, it was the summer vacation almost ten years before my seventh brother died. Sister-in-law and I went to her house and saw Seventh Sister-in-law sitting on the kang making handicrafts. Every little animal is lifelike. It is said that every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, Seventh Sister-in-law lets her grandchildren take her handicrafts to the market to buy them, which can make a lot of money.
Seven sister-in-law is old, her hair is gray, her broad face is covered with wrinkles, her movements are slow, and her walking is shaking even more. But her voice is still so broad, and her laughter is still so hearty. But I heard a trace of sadness in her laughter.
The dwarf's seventh sister-in-law died. Like Brother Qi, she also chose to commit suicide and ended her life.
