A few days later, Zhang Hui Niang took Lian Yi to visit her grandfather's family. Lian Yi naturally did not come empty-handed. She brought snacks, tea, meat, and the red cloth she bought for her uncle's wedding.

The Zhang family was also very happy to see Zhang Hui Niang and Lian Yi coming to visit relatives with generous gifts.

Lianyi's four uncles, Zhang Zhong, Zhang Jun and Zhang Cheng, are all married and have children. Only the youngest, Zhang Shi, is not married, but he has already been engaged to a girl from a neighboring village and will get married after the autumn harvest.

Everyone was also very concerned about Lianyi's affairs, and Lianyi also said everything she could to let the Zhang family, a simple farming family, know that not everything is perfect in a wealthy family, and there are many dirty things among them.

Zhang Shi frowned and asked:

"How's that girl who hurt you?"

"I was sold by the young lady. Because I served her before, they were afraid that some bad rumors would spread, so they sold me to a faraway place. I will never be able to come back in this lifetime."

Lianyi speaks the truth. She will not gloss over the truth and let some people have unrealistic fantasies and think that it is easy to survive in a wealthy family.

As for the wound on Lianyi's face, the Zhang family members tacitly avoided asking any questions. After dinner at Zhang's house, Zhang Hui Niang and Lianyi took Hu Zi home and also had to cook for Song Dachuan.

Summer passed quickly as Lianyi was helping Hu Zi clear his meridians. After the autumn harvest, it was time for her uncle's wedding. Zhang Hui Niang and Lianyi both went to the Zhang family to help. Zhang Shi married the bride in a grand ceremony. The material for the bride's red wedding dress was given by Lianyi, allowing the bride to marry in a decent manner.

During the winter, Hu Zi finally learned to walk. Although he had to hold on to the wall, it made Zhang Hui Niang and Song Dachuan very happy.

"Our tiger is getting stronger and stronger, and will be able to run on the ground by next spring."

Lianyi lifted Hu Zi up high with ease, causing Hu Zi to giggle.

Hui Niang and Song Dachuan also had smiles on their faces.

Because of Lianyi's return, Song Dachuan's family had an especially comfortable year. There was rice in the jar, vegetables in the cellar, bacon hanging under the eaves, fish frozen in the snow pit, and extra money in their pockets. The family all wore new cotton-padded clothes, and the kang in the house was heated with charcoal. They only had to go outside for a walk every day, and they didn't have to add firewood in the middle of the night. It was so comfortable.

Before the Chinese New Year, Song Dachuan specially changed into his old cotton-padded clothes and cotton shoes, brought two large bones and a box of snacks, and went to Songjia Village as a holiday gift, and also to let outsiders see his filial piety.

But this time, when he went there, old Mrs. Song sat on the kang and started saying bad things about Lianyi, trying to degrade her granddaughter to the dust. Song Dachuan left old Mrs. Song's house without even drinking a glass of water.

Song Dachuan met people from Songjia Village on the road. They asked him why he left so quickly without even having a meal. Song Dachuan said nothing, but shook his head helplessly, saying that he was incompetent, and turned around and left.

The next day, rumors spread in the village that Song Dachuan had sent a New Year gift home, but was kicked out by the Song family without even having a meal. When the Song family jumped out to deny it, someone immediately asked:

"I saw Dachuan carrying beef bone sticks and a box of cakes from Furun Cake Shop in town. He came out empty-handed less than an incense stick after entering your house. Did your family confiscate the things?"

“.”

The Song family wanted to confiscate the items, but the man in front of them was a reckless person. What's more, the other party saw it. If they said to confiscate it, this man would call Song Dachuan back to confront them face to face, so the Song family went home in shame.

"Bah! What a thing! The whole family is short-sighted, only knowing how to take advantage, not even letting their own son go."

The man walked away cursing.

Ever since Song Dachuan was forced to leave Songjia Village, the Song family has had a bad reputation, especially Song Dashan, who actually wanted to sell his second brother's daughter. Which family would dare to marry their daughter to such a man with no bottom line? What if he is unhappy one day and sells his own daughter?

Therefore, Song Dashan has not yet married. Even though the Song family has repeatedly mentioned the betrothal gift, no one in the nearby villages is willing to marry into their family. Because of this, Song Dashan hates Song Dachuan's family.

When the original body saw Song Dashan that summer, he really had bad intentions. He wanted to cover Lianyi's mouth and take her away. However, the original body knew that his uncle wanted to sell her out, so he shouted his four uncles vigilantly, which scared Song Dashan away. After that, the original body went to work at Dong's Mansion in the town. Song Dashan didn't have the courage to approach such a place, so the matter ended.

But ever since Lianyi came back, Song Dashan had another plan. However, when he learned that the other person's face was ruined, he cursed it as bad luck for cutting off his source of income. However, he was still thinking about the money that Lianyi brought home.

After the Chinese New Year, farmers start to get busy. They pack up their farm tools, and when the snow melts, they start preparing to plow the soil. They also have to check on the thawing of the land from time to time.

Song Dachuan has also been preparing for these things recently, and Lianyi wants to go to the back mountain of Songjia Village. She originally wanted to go there in winter, but was stopped by Hui Niang and Song Dachuan.

"That mountain may not look high, but there are ferocious beasts in it. What are you doing up there now, as a girl? When the weather gets warmer, I'll go up there with you to pick wild vegetables."

Hui Niang thought Lian Yi was tired of pickles and wanted to try some fresh wild vegetables, so she immediately agreed.

Lianyi actually wanted to go to the mountains to absorb more spiritual energy, but since her parents didn't allow her, she had to give up. As the weather gradually got warmer, and finally when the snow melted and the dirt road was exposed, she found an excuse to enter Wankou Mountain behind Songjia Village.

Wankou Mountain gets its name because its shape is an inverted bowl and the middle of the mountain is hollow. However, it is easy to get lost once you enter, so few people go there alone.

I heard from the old people in the village that during the war, the people of Songjia Village hid in the belly of Wankou Mountain and thus escaped the war. The young and middle-aged people in the village were able to survive, and the village was able to recover quickly after the war.

Lianyi followed the guidance of the spiritual energy and entered the belly of Wankou Mountain very smoothly. The mountain was larger than she had imagined, and it was not cold either, with a suitable temperature.

She also found a 20-square-meter hot spring pool in the belly of the mountain, which made her very satisfied. The space at home was limited, so it was more convenient to give Hu Zi a bath. It was difficult for her, a grown girl, to take a bath, so the first thing she did was to take a bath.

After Lianyi rinsed herself clean, she sat cross-legged beside the hot spring and began to absorb the slightly richer spiritual energy in the air. This time, the spiritual energy was applied to her right cheek, repairing the wound on her cheek bit by bit.

In fact, after a winter, the wounds on Lianyi's face were not as hideous as before, but they were still uneven, and the damaged skin was a little black and purple, which looked a little scary.

Hui Niang felt very sad every time she saw the sadness on her daughter's face and had cried secretly for several times. However, she never mentioned it in front of her daughter.

Lianyi had no choice. With a mother made of water, she could only use most of the spiritual power she absorbed to regulate Hu Zi's body, and use a small part to prevent the wound on his face from getting worse.

This time I came to the mountains, just to absorb more spiritual power to heal the scars on my face. Of course, they can't be healed all at once, in case someone with ulterior motives sees them.

Two hours later, Lianyi opened her eyes, then her nose moved and she smelled a bloody smell.

See you tomorrow~Good night~
