Ann Molloyat wrote in the Biography of Dumas that asking human nature not to forget gratitude is like asking a wolf to be vegetarian.
Deeply.
Just like the feelings of Mrs. Sheng for Aunt Sheng Lin in "Know It or Not", how much she used to take care of her with her heart and lungs, how much it hurt Old Lady Sheng's heart when Aunt Lin had an affair with Sheng Hong behind her back.
A person's kindness to another is a strong feeling from the heart, but if a person is too affectionate with someone who is not worthy, it is hurtful to himself.
Mrs. Sheng is such a person, she is too capable, too wristy, can flex and stretch all things, but Du Du can't bow her head for Aunt Lin, she would rather hurt herself than reconcile with Aunt Lin, only to let herself live depressed for more than ten years, it really hurt herself.
Aunt Lin's betrayal broke the old lady's heart
"Honglang, I know you very well as a person, and when you and I first made love, they swore to me that they would never let me be bullied, so they put on the face of my wife's mother's family and bought me a field shop, so that I could stand up in the house and be a good person."
Aunt Lin has been a concubine for Sheng Hong for more than ten years, and she can still whisper about how Sheng Hong is, which shows how much thought and sweet words it took when she first seduced Sheng Hong, so that Sheng Hong risked offending the Sheng family, and it was inevitable that Aunt Na Lin would be a concubine.
If there is nothing wrong with marrying someone else, this Aunt Lin is a squire who has been raised by Mrs. Sheng's side since childhood, just like Mrs. Sheng is as spoiled as she is to her own daughter.
However, Aunt Lin was under the eyes of Mrs. Sheng, sneaking around with Sheng Hong, and by the time everyone knew, Aunt Lin's belly was already very large.
Aunt Lin cried and cried and begged Mrs. Sheng to be perfect, coupled with Sheng Hong's resolute attitude of marrying Aunt Lin, Mrs. Sheng did not want to offend Sheng Hong, after all, he was not his own son, and finally could only ask not to see Aunt Lin again, and then agree to her enter the door.
Mrs. Sheng did what she said, and since Aunt Lin married Sheng Hong, she refused to see her again, nor did she come to the door to ask for Peace.
It can be said that the practice of Aunt Lin and Sheng Hong made Mrs. Sheng too sad, one is the girl she values most, and the other is the one who has spent her life supporting it, but the feelings that have been paid the most hurt in the end, and it is inevitable that she has suffered a bit of a blow.
Discouraged, he was willing to live a hard life
Not only that, after Aunt Lin married Sheng Hong, she was outwardly respectful to Mrs. Sheng, but she had a strong wind at the head of the bed.
At the instigation of Aunt Lin, Sheng Hong also believed that Old Lady Sheng was no longer powerful and powerless, and coupled with the fact that Old Lady Sheng was not her own mother, it was inevitable that Sheng Hong would complain about the old lady.
Coming and going, Sheng Hong, who was originally not close to the old lady, was more indifferent to the old lady emotionally.
Aunt Lin is a snob who holds high and stomps low, and when she sees that Old Lady Sheng has no way to do anything about Sheng Hong, gradually she also begins to be disrespectful to the old lady, and Old Lady Sheng naturally knows who Aunt Lin is, but does not argue with her, but just avoids.
Looking at the feelings of pouring out her heart and lungs, in the end it was such an ending, Mrs. Sheng simply no longer cared about the affairs of the Sheng family, but hid in a deserted courtyard and lived a hard life.
For this reason, Aunt Lin did not pity this old lady Sheng who was once comparable to her daughter-in-law, and the person who could be used for Aunt Lin was worthy of her greeting.
Later, when Mrs. Sheng wanted to adopt a granddaughter, Aunt Lin posted it for the sake of profit, and she said this to Mo Lan:
Starting early in the morning, you will go to the old lady to serve, remember to be careful and docile, and make a look of apology and guilt. It is best not to call me mother outside, to call me aunt, and sometimes it is not tight to damage me.
Alas, I am tired of you, and if you are reborn in the belly of your wife, you do not have to curry favor with the old woman.
You see Aunt Lin, usually turning a blind eye to Mrs. Sheng, once she feels that there is value in use, she quickly let Mo Lan go up, but the tone of the old lady is not respectful at all.
No wonder Mrs. Sheng was discouraged, and she used all her money and connections for Sheng Hong's promotion and wealth, but in the end she was cold in her old age, and she loved Aunt Lin as a daughter, but she was secretly chen cang with Sheng Hong under her own eyes.
Even when the old lady was old, Sheng Hong took the lead in not looking at him, and several daughters-in-law were naturally very disrespectful to her, which made the old lady slowly discouraged and eat and pray to the Buddha.
It is the wise man who fights back against the unconscionable
Fortunately, the old lady did not give up on herself for too long, especially after Minglan's sincere treatment, she began to slowly change her situation.
Especially after Mrs. Sheng's good sister Grandma Kong came, she pointed out to the point that Mrs. Sheng had made herself decadent because she was discouraged, which was mrs. Sheng's style?
Under the enlightenment of Grandma Kong, and in order to protect her beloved Minglan from being bullied, Mrs. Sheng began to cheer up and knock on Sheng Hong, and a few of them easily cleaned up Aunt Lin, who had been indispensable for more than ten years.
Under the means of Mrs. Sheng's iron fist, she made Aunt Lin, who had been favored for more than ten years, feel a sense of crisis for the first time, and also let the Sheng family up and down witness the old lady's position in the heart of the Sheng family.
In the face of Aunt Lin's out-of-character behavior of letting her daughter Mo Lan hook up with Liang Heng, Mrs. Sheng even drove Aunt Lin out of the Sheng Mansion in one fell swoop, and Sheng Hong not only had no opinion, but also was full of gratitude to Mrs. Sheng.
But the old lady suffered too much, only to clean up Aunt Lin, not that she did not have the ability, but she was too capable, she did not look up to Aunt Lin's dirty means, did not want to bow her head to this kind of person, and did not care to fight with Aunt Lin, but as long as she could bend and stretch a little, she would have already cleaned up Aunt Lin.
If Old Lady Sheng had been able to bow her head slightly to Aunt Lin, who was in the limelight, and wait for the opportunity to clean up Aunt Lin, how could she have struggled so much in the Sheng family without making the relationship between Old Lady Sheng and Sheng Hong even cooler?
Therefore, the old saying that "can flex and stretch" is not unreasonable, only if a person learns to bow his head, he will not let himself suffer too much, especially the pain in his heart, too wronged.
For those who are not worthy, do not be too affectionate, he is not kind, you are right, excessive kindness is the evil that breeds human nature.
