Zhang Huiniang and Song Dachuan both sat in front of Lianyi, frowning at the white gauze on their daughter's face, and finally couldn't help but ask:
"Lianyi, what's wrong with your face?"
Lianyi felt that there was no need to hide it, so she took off the white gauze covering her face and exposed the injury on her cheek.
"Ripples!"
Zhang Huiniang exclaimed, and then her eyes turned red. Song Dachuan, who had always been calm, swayed and stood up with his hands on the edge of the table. The voice said:
"Lianyi, is this the price you pay for leaving the Dong family?"
"My poor daughter, what will you do in the future?"
Zhang Huiniang's tears fell instantly.
"I'll go find them! They don't bully people like that!"
Song Dachuan gritted his teeth and stood up, knocking down the wooden stool. It was obvious that he was very angry.
When Lianyi saw the two of them like this, she immediately grabbed Song Dachuan, patted Zhang Huiniang's shoulder and said comfortingly:
"Mom, dad, don't get excited. This is the way I thought of getting out. If you get hurt, I didn’t take good care of her after that, so it looked terrible, but it didn’t hurt her at all.”
After hearing what Rian Yi said, Zhang Huiniang asked with tears in her eyes.
"Really, what did I lie to my mother for? When I raise her, won't you see it!"
Ripple said with a smile.
"Girl, tell me and your mother, what is going on?"
Song Dachuan was still able to hold his own, and after being pulled by Ripple to sit down again, he asked impatiently.
"Well, the matter starts when I return to the Dong Mansion. I pretended that you agreed to me being a dowry maid, but I wanted to sign a living contract."
Wait for Ripple to put these three months in Everything that happened in the Dong Mansion was told one by one.
Both of them were amazed after hearing this. They didn't expect that it was a Dong Mansion with so many twists and turns.
"Poor my daughter, she stayed in that place waiting for cannibals for two years and raised most of the family. In the end, she worked hard to disfigure her appearance before she could return home."
After Zhang Huiniang heard this, she became more and more aware of her daughter's difficulty, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.
"Lianyi, we have suffered so much for you over the years. You always report good things but not bad things. We thought you would have a good meal at Dong Mansion, but we didn't expect you to live so cautiously. Now that you are back, Just take good care of you at home. If the injury on your face doesn't heal, dad will take care of you for the rest of your life!"
Song Dachuan said a rare long sentence.
"Okay, as long as my parents don't dislike me for being an old girl who can't get married."
Lianyi said with a smile and wiped Zhang Huiniang's tears.
"You are my daughter, Song Dachuan. I don't dislike you, and no one has the right to dislike you!"
Song Dachuan said immediately.
After the business was finished, Zhang Huiniang and Song Dachuan were in the mood to look at the things piled up in the main room. "Lianyi, I didn't pay attention just now, why did you buy so many things?"
Zhang Huiniang asked.
“Some of these are rewards from the lady. I have served her well. For the sake of good reputation, she also has to show off. They are all practical cloth and rice noodles, enough for our family of four. Don't save on clothes, rice and noodles, make them for your little brother to take care of while he's still young
The Dong Mansion hired a bullock cart to take me there, so I bought some things and snacks in the town. I sent some tea and tea to my grandfather’s house, as well as a piece of red cloth, just for my brother-in-law to get a wife, and a jar of oil for daily cooking. The weather was too hot, so I didn’t dare to buy more meat, so I bought one.”
Lianyi didn't mind the trouble and told her one by one what the things she bought were used for and how much money she spent. She gave the remaining two taels of silver directly to Zhang Huiniang for her family use.
Lianyi didn't say anything about the other forty-five taels of silver. She was afraid that if it leaked out, it would attract Aunt Dong. Moreover, she had other great uses for the silver, so she didn't mention it for the time being.
When Huzi woke up the next day and knew that his sister was back, he happily let Lianyi hug him, and Lianyi took over the task of taking care of Huzi, which made Huiniang feel much more relaxed.
Huzi was very interested in the white gauze on Lianyi's face, and always wanted to pick it off, but he couldn't touch it, which made him scream out in anxiety, and he became more energetic.
Huzi was weak since he was born. Now he is almost three years old, but he can only crawl and sit. He has no strength in his legs and cannot stand up. Naturally, he has not learned to walk, so except for sleeping, he does not do anything all day long. In Huiniang's arms, on her back.
The first thing Lianyi did when he came back was to absorb spiritual energy, and then dredge his meridians and regulate his body bit by bit. This was a hard work.
Firstly, the spiritual energy here is pitifully thin. Secondly, Huzi is too young and his meridians are also very fragile, so he cannot be impatient and must take his time. Fortunately, he is young, so he has plenty of time.
On the third day after Lianyi returned to Zhangjia Village, everyone in the village knew that she was sent back by her master because she was injured on her face. However, her master was quite particular and rewarded her with many things, which was considered a decent act. The noodle is back.
The next day, a matchmaker came to Lianyi's door, wanting to arrange a marriage for Lianyi. She said that the man liked her because she was working as an errand in a wealthy family, and he must be knowledgeable and knowledgeable, so he wanted to marry her back and head the family.
Zhang Huiniang couldn’t help but ask which family’s son the son was from, and the matchmaker waved her handkerchief and said:
“He is a boy from Songjia Village. He has only one mother in the family to depend on. There is a sacrificial field in the village. I want him to study and expect him to take the exam next year! Once your girl gets married, she will be in charge of the family. She doesn’t have to do anything, just take care of Tong Sheng’s daily life.”
Before the matchmaker finished speaking, Zhang Huiniang's face dropped. She was the daughter-in-law of Songjia Village, so she didn't know who the Tong Sheng the matchmaker was talking about was!
Already forty, he is still using the pretext of taking a merit test to squeeze out his only wife. This is because his wife has only been living for a few years, so she has set her sights on Ripple and wants to do Ripple's dowry. It was really disgraceful. Just as she was about to curse, Rianyi raised the curtain of the bedroom and walked out.
"Matchmaker Liu, the boy you are talking about may be beyond the reach of our family. To tell you the truth, I was originally going to be Miss Dong Er's room maid, but I only asked for it because it hurt my appearance. The lady asked me to go home."
As he spoke, Lianyi pulled off the white gauze on his face without any warning, exposing his injured face to Matchmaker Liu's eyes.
“Ouch! Oh my God!!”
Matchmaker Liu was caught off guard. Her heart was so frightened that she jumped up from her stool.
"Matchmaker Liu, our Song family has always been upright and would not deceive our neighbors. My appearance is indeed a hindrance. If Mr. Tong Sheng of the Song family reaches high school, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get out of the house. Dare to come out.
Even if he doesn't dislike me, I can't even do the basics of being a good wife, so why marry me?
I don't want to be bad either. Matchmaker Liu’s reputation, tell the truth about the reason for my refusal,”
Lianyi said while wiping her tears, which made Matchmaker Liu feel relieved, and then left with a sigh! , although she regretted not being able to earn the money as a matchmaker, she did not ruin her reputation at least, so she did not go out to say bad things about Lianyi. When someone asked, she just vaguely said that Lianyi's appearance was damaged, and she was afraid that he was not suitable. Marriage.
Soon the words spread to several nearby villages. Some were regretful, while others were gloating about the misfortune. Old Song was even more happy to eat an extra bowl of rice to support himself. (End of this chapter)
