Chapter 103 Is the Marriage a Good Thing?

"So what are you going to do now?"

Although Lian Yue felt a little sympathy for the young man, he didn't want to leave any trouble at home.

Guan Ling was very good at reading people's faces, and he knew he should leave now. But he was unfamiliar with this place and didn't know where to go.

"Brother Lian Yue, is this Lizhou Island?"

Lian Yue nodded.

"Did your father tell me which city he is in? I can take you there."

There was a trace of struggle in Guan Ling's eyes. Did he dare to go look for his father now? Those people even wanted to kill him, how could they let him see his father?

But if he didn't go looking for her, he couldn't just stay in someone else's house forever. So he told the truth.

"When my father sent the message, he said it was Cangsu City. My family is quite wealthy, so it should be easy to find. Brother Lian Yue, is Cangsu City far away?"

"This is... a bit far."

Lian Yue had never been to Cangsu City. He had only heard that there were four cities on Lizhou Island, and the city to which his village belonged was called Hailing City. Cangsu City was next door, and it would take more than half a day to get there by boat.

If I were to send Guan Ling there, not only would it take me two days, but I would also have to find a place to sleep.

It's difficult no matter how I think about it.

If Lian Qiao wanted to look for his relatives, he would certainly not object, but this was just a stranger.

Guan Ling looked around and took out a small cloth bag from his pocket. This was the money he had saved over the years.

"Brother Lian Yue, take this little money and consider it as my travel expenses."

Lian Yue felt a little hot in his ears. The boy was so sensible that he felt embarrassed to argue with him anymore.

The cloth bag in my hand was very old and the copper coins in it were very heavy, about a hundred coins.

He calculated the shipping fee and counted out eighty cents.

"In the past, the boat fare was about twelve cents per person. The remaining fifty-six cents are for my good brother. You overturned his bamboo raft in your haste to save yourself, and all the catch on his boat was lost. This is his compensation."

Guan Ling had a vague memory of this incident, and it even seemed that he almost brought someone to the bottom of the sea.

"Brother Lian Yue, why don't you give all this money to him? I'm so grateful to you for saving my life this time, otherwise I would have died a long time ago."

"If you want to give it to him, just wait until he comes to see you. I'll give these to him first. Have a good rest for a day. I'll take you to Cangsu City early tomorrow morning."

Guan Ling responded softly and lay back on the bed silently.

When there was no one in the room, hatred appeared in his eyes.

He used to hate only his father in his heart, but now he hated those who wanted to harm him.

Those people in the village asked a lot of questions about me, and later someone of the same age got on the boat, obviously intending to go and find my father on my behalf.

They want money.

I am just not as good as they want.

Originally, he just wanted to meet that father and scold him in person on behalf of his mother and then leave. Now, he has changed his mind.

However, now is not the best time to look for that father. Once we arrive in Cangsu City, we must find a way to separate from Lian Yue as soon as possible.

He was lucky this time, and he would be more careful in the future. After he survived this disaster, he would repay Lian Yue and the others.

The next day, Guan Ling set out early with Lian Yue. Jiang Wan got up early and met them on the road.

The fresh Guan Ling looked much better than when he was just caught from the sea, and he was also quite polite. Perhaps because he heard Lian Yue say that his mother had treated him, he went into the yard to thank her.

Not long after they walked, Jiang Wan saw Lian Qiao running towards them.

"Xiao Wan! Have you seen Brother Yue?!"

"I see. They're going to the ferry. What are you in such a hurry for?"

"I want to go with him!"

Lian Qiao left a message and ran away. His legs seemed to have wheels, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the two men.

Of course he would go along. It looked like things were not peaceful at Guan Ling's house, and if anything happened on the way, two people would be better than one.

And even if I could beat him, I would still be a good helper.

Lian Qiao quickly caught up with the two men. Lian Yue's face darkened the moment he saw him. He wanted to take the men back, but Lian Qiao refused to listen. He had no choice but to take him on board.

"It will take two days. Have you told your mother?"

"Well……"

Lian Qiao scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I gave my sister two cents and told her to tell my mother that I was out and would be back tomorrow when she came to look for me."

Lian Yue: “…”

I'm afraid I'll never be able to get rid of this reputation of ruining Lianqiao.

Not long after the three left, Lianqiao's mother rushed to the ferry with a broom, but unfortunately she didn't catch anyone. She was so angry that she cursed all the way back, adding to the gossip in the village.

Jiang Wan stayed at home and didn't hear any of this. Her little handicraft had already reached the final step and would be completed soon.

Yin Huaixi felt a little jealous watching from the side.

"Wanwan, this shell wind chime you made is so beautiful. If you sell it, you might be able to get a few hundred coins."

Jiang Wan chuckled, picked up the wind chime and looked at the overall effect. When she put on the last red conch shell, it would be done.

"Forget about selling it. It takes a lot of effort to make it. Mother, this is a birthday present for my cousin. Once this is done, I'll collect some shells and make one for you."

"Okay then. I'm waiting."

Jiang Wan nodded.

She not only wanted to make a wind chime for her mother, but also wanted to collect shells to make a door curtain for her.

There used to be a shell curtain in our home, which was made by my mother and I together. It is very meaningful.

The mother and daughter were talking when they suddenly heard Xiaoman's mother calling them at the door.

Jiang Wan hurried over and opened the door, and immediately noticed Xiao Manniang's joyful look.

"Xiao Wan, come and have some melon seeds."

As soon as Xiao Man's mother came in, she grabbed a handful of melon seeds for Jiang Wan, and then grabbed a handful for Yin Huai as well.

"Doctor Yin, my daughter Xiaoman's marriage is settled! The wedding will be in two months. You must come to our house to drink a glass of wedding wine."

Since they came to invite him personally, Yin Huaixi naturally accepted the invitation.

"I wonder which family Xiaoman is talking about. Is it from the village?"

"It's not from our village, but from the next village. All the seven older sisters in that family's head are married, and he is the only one in the family. He has a house and a lot of land, his parents are in good health, and his sisters are helping him. The conditions are very good. ”

Xiao Manniang was extremely happy. Her daughter's marriage was settled, and she seemed to have been relieved of a huge weight, and she kept talking.

Jiang Wan was absent-mindedly eating melon seeds on the side. After hearing Xiao Man's mother praising the man's family for the third time, she finally couldn't help but interject.

"That family insisted on having a boy even though they had so many girls. How much pressure must Xiaoman have on her? Mother, it's not good for a girl to have a child when she's too young, right?"

Yin Huaixi nodded heavily.

"That's true. A woman's body only matures at the age of 18, and giving birth before that age will cause great harm to her body."

Xiao Man's mother was stunned for a moment.

She wanted to say that this was not the case. In the village, everyone gets married at the age of fourteen, gets married and has children at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Why would they wait until the age of eighteen to get married?

But when she looked at Yin Huaixi's serious eyes, she couldn't say a word.

After hearing these words and looking back at her daughter's marriage, her joy was immediately reduced.

Is this marriage really that good?
