Chapter 34 Strike
The two travelers didn't care about it when they saw that it was a pretty little girl talking to each other.
"Miss, do you still know someone surnamed Sun in Qingfeng County?" One asked with a smile.
"Are there many families named Sun in Qingfeng County?" In order to tell these two people more, Lian Man'er deliberately said.
Sure enough, the two traveling merchants laughed when they saw Lian Man'er talking ignorantly and cutely, and they became even more unprepared for her.
"There are many families with the surname Sun in Qingfeng County, but the richest and most famous one is the Sun Lianren family. Little girl, what do people with the surname Sun in Qingfeng County do?"
What they did was of course to determine whether Sun Lianren was the one who Lian Shouren had arranged for her to go to. It seemed that the two of them thought she was asking about another family named Sun.
"I know the third girl of the Liu family." Lian Man'er said. She didn't know what the poor little girl of the Liu family was named, but she knew that as long as the girls in rural families were ranked by Da Ya and Er Ya could not be wrong. "I heard that she married someone named Sun from Qingfeng County and enjoyed her happiness. Is it the one you mentioned?"
Two traveling businessmen looked at each other.
"Who introduced it to me, do you know how little girl?"
"I heard that it was a man named Yang, and he said he was a relative of his brother-in-law's child." Lian Man'er said.
"That's all, Yang Chengfeng only has one girl, and he gave Sun Lianren the fourth wife," said the traveling businessman.
Lian Man'er bit her lip, that's right. Since she is a wealthy family, how could she marry a child bride? A child bride is willing to give so much money, but she even came to this county thousands of miles away to find someone. It turned out that the so-called child bride was just arranged by Lian Shouren and his wife. What the Sun family wants is a little girl to bury her son with her, and she wants her son to have a companion underground. That money is the money to buy life.
"His father..." Zhang listened blankly for a while, suddenly let out a cry, and then his body softened and fell from the stool to the ground, collapsed there.
"Damn..." Lian Shouxin hurriedly went to help Zhang.
Zhang closed her eyes tightly. She suddenly knew the truth, couldn't stand the blow, and had fainted.
Lian Man'er hurried forward and pinched Zhang's people. After a while, Zhang woke up slowly. She saw Lian Man'er at first sight and immediately carried Lian Man'er into her arms.
"Man'er, my Man'er..." Zhang burst into tears.
Even Zhier and Goro understood what was going on, and they started crying. Xiaoqi was a little confused, but he knew it was not a good thing, so he cried.
The family cried together, which attracted many passers-by to stop and watch.
The two travelers were a little at a loss.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Even if you are relatives of the Liu family, you shouldn't cry so miserably. A traveler asked Xiaoqi: "Little brother, what kind of relatives are you with the Liu family?"
"We don't know any Liu family. Our surname is Lian, and we are from Sanshiliyingzi." Xiao Qi said.
"What's going on?" The traveling businessman was surprised, "Why are you crying?"
"This is not the fourth child of the Lian family," among the people watching the fun, there was a person from Sanshiliyingzi who recognized Lian Shouxin. "Oh, their little daughter seemed to have broken her head a few days ago and fainted for several days. She said she couldn't live. She said that before that, she was going to send her to the neighboring county to be a wife for the Sun family..."
The two travelers heard the meaning and were afraid of causing trouble, so they hurriedly checked the accounts and wanted to walk.
Lian Shuixin's eyes were red and he grabbed one of them.
"Big brother, I ask you, what you said is true?"
"What did we say?"
"It's Sun Lianren's family who marry a child bride for his youngest son just to be buried with him. Is this true?"
A businessman was afraid of trouble and quickly denied it.
"Isn't it true? This matter is not a secret matter in Qingfeng County." Another guessed that Lian Man'er was the girl who wanted to sell it to the Sun family at the beginning, so she couldn't stand it. "What did you do at that time? What should you tell me about it?"
"It seems that their elder brother is the one who is doing this outside." said someone who knows the inside story.
In the countryside, one by one, it can be said that the sound of chickens and dogs is heard, and there is almost no question. Anything that family has something, even if you want to keep it secret, it can be heard all over the village. This town is only a few miles away from 30 miles away from Yingzi. People often come to the town, and they know each other a lot, and even the people in the town know each other.
When the two traveling merchants heard this, they refused to say anything. They hurriedly threw away Lian Shouxin and left.
The traveling merchant left, but the crowd did not disperse and were talking a lot. There were also people who heard the two traveling merchants talking at the tea stall, so they had to speak in a bit.
After all, Lian Shuixin was an adult man. He was the first to calm down and help Zhang up.
Tibetan style just hugged Lian Man'er and refused to let go. Someone asked her but she ignored her. She just kept crying.
Some people later became angry after hearing a few words.
"Now I know how to cry, I know how to bear it? Why did I bear it at that time? I was still blinded by Yinziyao."
"I'm not my biological daughter, I'm afraid I'm a stepmother."
"This is my biological child, and the Liu family is also my biological child. I know that their family has many children, and they are so poor that they have not had the last meal. Three hundred taels of silver are enough to marry a few sons and buy a few acres of land. There is no need to worry about this life."
"The same is true for this Lian family?"
"Don't blame the poor people for this. I heard from our aunt who married to them, Sanshiliyingzi, that the eldest son of the Lian family made the decision. You don't know that the four and the other couple are honest, and they are controlled by their old ladies."
"The old lady knew about spending money to buy life, so she just kept it from the couple?"
"We dare not say this."
"I think it's almost the same."
Lian Shouxin listened to everyone's comments, and he felt his ears buzzing and forced himself into the blacksmith shop.
"Brother Feng, I'm going to go back. I'll take it back after the repair. If you haven't finished repairing, I'll keep it here. I'll get it tomorrow." Lian Shouxin said to Feng Blacksmith.
Feng Blacksmith also knew what had just happened.
"It's all repaired for you." Feng Blacksmith glanced at Lian Shouxin with some pity, and handed him several farm tools.
"Brother Feng, how much is this total?"
"You can estimate the original price yourself, one hundred and ten cents." Feng Blacksmith said readily.
Even Shouxin took out his wallet and poured out all the money Zhou gave him. After counting, it was only eighty cents.
"Brother Feng, I only brought eighty cents. Otherwise, you can accept this money first. I will leave two iron pickaxes as collateral and send the owed money tomorrow."
Feng Blacksmith saw Lian Shuixin's gaze even more sympathized with Lian Shuixin. Farmers would rather be hungry by themselves, but they were willing to spend money on farm tools. Moreover, most of the old crops can estimate how much it costs to repair them, and they will bring enough money. Very few people come to the blacksmith shop to repair farm tools, and very few people don't have enough money. Like Lian Shuixin, it is even rarer to spend so much less.
"What are you leaving?" Feng Blacksmith took the money, "You took it away. Whenever you have time to go to the town, bring it to me, don't worry."
Lian Shouxin hurriedly thanked Feng Blacksmith, packed up the sickle and iron pickaxe, and placed it on the cart. Zhang's legs were still weak and could not walk. Lian Zhier and Wulang helped Zhang to the cart. Zhang was drowsy and still cried, but he still refused to let Lian Man'er go.
Even Shouxin pushed the cart away, and the people who had good things followed each other, until they left the town, and then they all dispersed. Even Shouxin's pace slowed down, as if he was dragging the weight of a thousand gold on his legs. Zhang was already crying and hoarse, and along the way, everyone kept silent.
The three or four miles of journey was completed.
"Why did you come back at this time? I don't know how much work is going at home. I'm so tired that I'm just talking. I'm so bad-hearted, do you know what you're going to benefit?" Zhou was standing in the yard. When he saw Lian Shouxin coming back, Zhang was sitting in the car openly, so he was so angry that he came.
No one paid attention to Zhou.
Lian Shouxin stopped the car. Zhang hugged Lian Man'er, and several children supported Zhang and went straight back to the west wing without even looking at Zhou.
Zhou was so angry that he was overwhelmed.
"I've come back from where I hit the corpse. Once I go back to the town, I'll get sick. Any adults and children will be there. Look at those ones and ones..." Zhou was cursing when he saw Lian Shouxin put down the cart and walked over.
"Your brother is back early and asks your wife to come and cook quickly. After a day of shopping, she should have enough shopping." Zhou said to Lian Shouxin.
Lian Shouxin stood in front of Zhou with a gloomy face, without saying a word.
Zhou's heart was a thrill. She knew that the tempers of several sons were all smiling from childhood to adulthood, and her temper was the most gentle. This was the first time such a gloomy face appeared on Lian Shouxin's face.
"Second, what's wrong with you? Did you hit the guest?"
At this time, I heard the voices and laughter of Lian Shouren, Lian Huaer, Lian Xiuer and others from the upper room.
Lian Shouxin felt that his heart was stabbed hard.
"I'll talk to my elder brother." Lian Shouxin rushed into the room directly.
Zhou was used to scolding, but he felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly followed him into the house.
In the west wing, Lian Man'er helped Zhang on the kang and lay down. When she saw Lian Shouxin entering the upper room, she wanted to follow him immediately and she wanted to seek justice for Lian Man'er. But then she thought that Lian Shouxin was the man in the family and the pillar, and he had the obligation to protect his wife and underage children.
Lian Shouxin and Zhang were so distraught, not only because they felt sorry for their daughter, but also because they were fooled and betrayed by family affection. Lian Shouxin and Zhang were both time to face the deformed family relationships of the Lian family, as well as bullying and betrayal from their relatives.
"Mom, please drink some water." Lian Man'er brought a bowl of water and handed it to Zhang. She asked Zhang to moisten her throat so that she would not be able to say anything for a while.
Zhang took the water, took a sip, and was about to speak when he heard Lian Shouren's excited voice coming from the upper room.
