"Accounting the amendment, statement, right?"

"It seems to be these two names. I can't remember it... The two sons, the eldest son, Shen Mingxiu, are the ancestors in our room, and Shen Mingyi is another room. My mother said that it may be that there are too many dead daughters, and Shen Mingyi is not very good. There is a saying that she didn't know what adults said when she was a child or where she heard it from... It is Shen Mingyi's birth was actually twins and there was a baby girl. When the baby girl came out, her grandfather's grandfather was so angry that the midwife showed him the baby girl. He waved his hand and beat the child to the ground, and the child was gone."

"The baby girl died?"

"Yes, it should be so dead. This matter has been circulating for quite a long time."

"So, what about the statement?"

"Shen Mingyi was still in his stomach at that time. The midwife was scared, a little... This was something that some people said later. When my mother talked about this, her tone was also the same. Some people in the family probably thought that the ancestor was serious about boys and girls, and the girl came out of the twins first. He didn't know that there was another one in his stomach. After such a mess, the midwife and the mother were in trouble. Shen Mingyi had been holding it in her stomach for a long time. When my mother told me, she said that the mother didn't dare to cry, and she was so afraid that she would tremble all over.

The mother was not very polite. In the yard, she could hear the ancestor scolding her wife - maybe not her wife, I don't know much about this - the mother was also screaming in the room. After a long time of struggle, Shen Mingyi was born and was weak. The ancestor felt that it was the baby girl who bullied Shen Mingyi in her belly, and she became even more angry and felt very painful. She was indulging. Our ancestors, Shen Mingxiu, was the elder brother. Because of his father's attitude, he was educated to take care of his younger brother since he was a child. He only had one younger brother, and he was very polite."

"Um."

"Shen Mingyi gave birth to a son later, and the family was very happy. But when the son was about to get married, he had a serious illness, maybe tuberculosis, and it seemed that he was going to be bad, and there were problems with getting married, so the family was very anxious."

"Is that person called Shin Changshou?"

"Yes. Yes, it's called this. My mother said it was wrong. The baby girl in the twins died so much. Shen Mingyi was in poor health and left a son and died. His wife stayed in the Shen family, which was considered to be a chastity at that time... The whole family was very fond of Shen Changshou. There was no one resentment about this. Shen Mingxiu... It may be a bit disrespectful to say this, but he should be a little foolish and filial. He was educated to take care of his younger brother since he was a child and passed on his family. His wife was not that kind of person. His children were not that kind of person. A man who loved his nephew more than his own son always criticized him."

"Well. So, the two families are not actually harmonious?"

"It can't be considered true. Small conflicts and small frictions are always constant. As far as my mother knows, her grandmother often complains to the next house, thinking that they have swallowed the property in the house, saying some vicious words, thinking that they are just committing evil, and only then have short life and have their lives cut off."

"Well. You just mentioned that Shen Changshou had a serious illness before getting married."

"Yes. At that time, I was superstitious, so I invited someone to tell fortunes, dance masters, and drink talisman water... This is what my mother said. In fact, she should not be very clear about what she did. I also thought about the wedding. My grandmother was called to help and rush to arrange the marriage. According to my mother, this is also what she often complained about below. She was so tired that she was ready for the darkness and was ready. Shen Changshou's uncle jumped out and said it was not possible. The fortune teller they hired said it was not possible. The marriage was tormented, and he also tried to treat Shen Changshou. When the dust settled, she first held a bride recognition banquet for Shen Changshou and recognized him as a distant uncle as his godfather. The distant uncle was a newborn baby... My grandmother had a lot of complaints. Because of this recognition of marriage, behind the scenes, the ancestors should have given Shen Changshou a lot of benefits, and they must have paid money and some other benefits. In this regard..."

"You have anything to say directly."

"It's just a guess. I heard the next thing, and this guess was that. It was a war era, and there was a matter of recruitment and grain collection. Our family should have a relationship. It's not clear what it is. But with the grandfather of Shen Changshou, his uncle joined the army and became a small officer as soon as he entered. This is certain. This is probably the most dissatisfied part of my family. Logically speaking, the way at that time should be my great-grandfather, with the right age and physical fitness. But in the end, it fell into an unrelated in-laws... There may be many similar things. Conflicts are always accumulated. This kind of unfairness... It should be quite common in families with many children."

"Um."

"It's probably that. Shen Changshou recognized his relatives, and later got married, and gave birth to a son and a daughter. His health was better than his father, and he lived a little longer. But when his ancestor passed away during that period, our two families should have been separated. There should be some dissatisfaction in the separation. I don't know these specific contents, and my mother doesn't know them. I just heard that the ancestors secretly stuffed Shen Changshou, and Shen Mingxiu also subsidized him. After the separation, Shen Mingxiu still took good care of this nephew."

"Um."

"In the future, it's the marriage of Shen Changshou's son. He should be named Shen Ankang. Maybe it was because Shen Changshou had just recovered from a serious illness when he gave birth to him, so he had some physical problems. The three wives, some of whom had no name and no name, did not give birth to children. There were also some conflicts in this regard. Our family was called over to help support the venue, help Shen Ankang quarreled with his in-laws, fights, etc. This actually had nothing to do with our family. Later it was proved that Shen Ankang was indeed not good. My grandmother was a relative and kindly persuaded him to see the doctor for the couple who had just gotten married. Don't be anxious if they couldn't give birth. The other party didn't appreciate it, but instead scolded him for being so bloody. This matter was quite disgusting."

"Have they done anything to pray for a child?"

"Burning incense and worshiping Buddha, I have done all these things. I was very superstitious. His first wife was tortured so much that she fled back to her parents' home. The two families had a conflict. The next few people were not good at robbing. Shen Ankang's sister was considered a relative to change her relatives, so she found him a new wife who was good to be born, but she was not pregnant in the end. In short, my mother said that when relatives talked about their family, it would be bad to talk about their roots. They would talk about Shen's longevity and that their family had committed too many sins. In fact, our family could not be considered prosperous. At that time, the average life expectancy of people was relatively low, the medical level was not enough, and there were also wars. Our family was good, but there were no children who died of premature death, and there were many relatives who died of illness."

"Well. We learned that Shin Ankang finally adopted a son."

"That's right. The adopted son... this is also the thorn in my heart, my grandmother, and even my mother...ah..."
