Within a few days, Zhang Huiniang took Lianyi to visit her grandfather's family. Naturally, Lianyi was not empty-handed and brought snacks, tea, meat, and the red cloth she bought for her brother-in-law's wedding.
The Zhang family was also very happy when they saw Zhang Huiniang and Lianyi coming to visit relatives with generous gifts.
Lianyi’s four uncles, Zhang Zhong, Zhang Jun, and Zhang Cheng, are all married, and each has a child. Only the youngest, Zhang Shi, is not married, but he has already made an arrangement with a girl from a neighboring village. Weddings are held after the autumn harvest.
Everyone is also very concerned about Lianyi's affairs, and Lianyi has said what she can to let the Zhang family, a simple family, know that not everything goes well for wealthy people, and there are so many dirty things in it. thing.
Zhang Shi frowned and asked with thick eyebrows:
"What happened to the girl who harmed you?"
"I was betrayed by the young lady. Because I had served her, I was afraid of any bad rumors, so I sold her to a far away place. It’s impossible to come back in this life.”
Lianyi told the truth, she would not sugarcoat peace and let some people have unrealistic illusions, thinking that it is easy for rich families to survive.
As for the injury on Lianyi’s face, the Zhang family members tacitly avoided it without asking any questions. After dinner at Zhang’s house, Zhang Huiniang and Lianyi took Huzi home, and they also had to cook for Song Dachuan. .
In the summer, Lianyi hurriedly walked through Huzi's meridians, and after the autumn harvest, it was her uncle's wedding. Zhang Huiniang and Lianyi both went to the Zhang family to help, and Zhang Shi married the bride in a lively manner. , the material of the red wedding dress on the bride was given by Lianyi, so that the bride could marry in a dignified manner.
During Maodong, Huzi finally learned to walk. Although he walked holding on to the wall, Zhang Huiniang and Song Dachuan were very happy.
“Our tiger is getting stronger and stronger, and we will be able to run on the ground by next spring.”
Ripple easily lifted the tiger up high, making the tiger giggle. non-stop.
Huiniang and Song Dachuan also had smiles on their faces.
Because of Ripple's return, Song Dachuan's family is having a particularly comfortable New Year. There is rice in the vat, vegetables in the cellar, bacon hanging from the eaves, frozen fish in the snow nest, and plenty of money in his pocket. The whole family wears new cotton-padded clothes and uses charcoal to burn the kang in the house. They only need to walk outside the house every day and don't have to refill the firewood in the middle of the night. Not to mention how comfortable they are.
Before the Chinese New Year, Song Dachuan specially changed into old cotton-padded clothes and cotton-padded shoes, carried two big sticks and a box of snacks, and went to Songjia Village as a gift and to show his filial piety to outsiders.
Only this time, Old Song sat on the kang and spoke ill of Lianyi, wanting to reduce this granddaughter to dust. Song Dachuan left Old Song without even drinking a glass of water. Home.
Song Dachuan met people from Songjia Village on the road. They asked him why he left so quickly without even eating a meal? Song Dachuan said nothing, just shook his head helplessly, said that he had no ability, turned around and left.
The next day there was a rumor in the village that Song Dachuan sent home a New Year's gift, but he didn't even eat a meal and was kicked out by the Song family. When the Song family jumped out to deny it, someone with good intentions immediately came out Asked:
"I looked at Dachuan carrying a beef bone stick and a box of pastries from Fulun Pastry Shop in the town. I walked out of your house empty-handed before I even had a stick of incense. Could it be that the things were there? Confiscated at your house?”
"."
The Song family wanted to say confiscate it, but the man in front of them was a gangster, and the other party saw it. If they said confiscate it, this man could call Song Dachuan back to confront them face to face, so Song Dachuan The family went home in despair.
"Bah! What the heck! This family is small-minded and only knows how to take advantage, even their own son."
The man left cursing. Ever since Song Dachuan was forced to leave Songjia Village, the reputation of Old Songtou's family has not been good, especially Song Dashan, who actually wanted to sell his second brother's daughter. Who would dare to sell such a bottomless person? If a girl marries him, what if he doesn't like it one day and sells his girl?
So Song Dashan has not married a wife yet. Even if the Song family raised the betrothal gift again and again, no one in the nearby villages was willing to marry their family. Because of this, Song Dashan put the Song Dachuan family Hated.
When the original person saw Song Dashan that summer, he really had no good intentions. He wanted to directly cover Lian Ripple's mouth and take the person away. However, the original person knew that his uncle was going to sell her, so he was vigilant. He shouted to his four uncles to scare Song Dashan away. After that, he went to work as an errand at Dong's Mansion in the town. Song Dashan didn't have the courage to approach that kind of place, so the matter was settled.
But since Lianyi came back, Song Dashan made up his mind again, but when he learned that the other party's face was ruined, he cursed him and cut off his way of making money, but he was still thinking about Lianyi. Money to go home.
After the New Year, farmers get busy, packing up their farm tools, and when the snow melts, they start preparing to plow the land. From time to time, they check to see how the land is thawing.
Song Dachuan has also been preparing for these things recently. Lianyi wanted to go to the back mountain of Songjiacun. She originally wanted to go in winter, but was stopped by Huiniang and Song Dachuan.
"The mountain doesn't look high, but there are ferocious beasts inside. Why are you, a girl, going up the mountain now? When the weather gets hot, my mother will go up the mountain with you to pick wild vegetables."
Hui Niang thought Ripple was eating it. Tired of pickles and craving for a bite of fresh wild vegetables, he immediately agreed.
Lianyi actually wanted to go to the mountains to absorb more spiritual energy. Since her parents did not allow it, she had no choice but to give up. Seeing that the weather was slowly getting hotter, she finally waited until the snow melted and the dirt road was exposed. I found an excuse and went into Wankou Mountain behind Songjiacun.
Wankou Mountain got its name because its shape is an inverted bowl. The middle of the mountain is hollow. However, it is easy to get lost after entering, and few people go there alone.
I heard from the elders in the village that during the war years, the people of Songjia Village escaped the war disaster because they hid in the belly of Wankou Mountain. The young and middle-aged people in the village were able to survive and be able to survive quickly after the war. of recovery.
Following the guidance of the spiritual energy, Lianyi entered the belly of Wankou Mountain very smoothly. The belly of the mountain was larger than she had imagined, and it was not cold and the temperature was suitable.
She also found a 20-square-meter hot spring pool in the middle of the mountain, which made her extremely satisfied. The house was only such a big place, so it was more convenient for Huzi to bathe. She was a big girl. Taking a shower is difficult, so the first thing to do is take a bath.
After Rian Ripple washed herself clean, she sat cross-legged by the hot spring and began to absorb the slightly rich spiritual energy in the air. This time, the spiritual energy acted on her right cheek, repairing it bit by bit. The bruise on the cheek.
Actually, after a whole winter, the wounds on Lianyi's face are no longer so hideous, but they are still bumpy and the damaged skin is a bit black and purple, which looks a bit scary.
Huiniang felt very sad every time she saw the sadness on her daughter's face. She had secretly cried several times, but she never mentioned it in front of her daughter.
Lianyi had no choice. With a woman made of water, she could only use half of the spiritual power she absorbed to groom Huzi's body, and the other half to keep the injuries on her face from getting worse.
I came to the mountains this time just to absorb more spiritual power and heal the scars on my face. Of course, I can’t heal them all at once, lest anyone see me.
Two hours later, Ripple opened her eyes, and then her nose moved, and she smelled the smell of blood.
See you tomorrow~Good night~
