The youngest, Fourth Sister, was only twenty-five years old. When she was fifteen, she was sold to a wealthy family's mentally challenged son as their wife.
This foolish young master isn't a cute fool; he's the kind of fool who goes berserk and kills people. More than a dozen little girls have been harmed by him.
Fourth Sister's family wasn't so poor that they couldn't afford to eat. On the contrary, her cousin was studying at school. However, her parents had both passed away, and as she got older, her grandmother and aunt knew that the family spent at least one hundred taels of silver each time they bought a wife for their son. Therefore, Fourth Sister, who had no parents or brothers, was sold.
She signed a contract of servitude, a death contract. Her family directly removed her from the family genealogy, which is equivalent to her no longer existing in this world. It will not have any impact on her cousin in the future.
When Third Sister met Fourth Sister, she was out scouting out a place with First Sister, who had learned some kung fu and had some basic skills. They happened to be scouting the place that had bought Fourth Sister's house, and they saw Fourth Sister being repeatedly hit on the head with a blunt weapon by the foolish young master, causing her to bleed profusely.
Without saying a word, the two punched the foolish young master on the head, took Fourth Sister away, and after scouting the place, returned to the mountain stronghold. A few days later, the brothers from the stronghold came to rob them.
These were all pitiful women. Since they had entered the mountain stronghold, they didn't want to go back. Their husbands' families certainly wouldn't go, and if their own families had taken care of them, they wouldn't be in such a miserable state. So, they abandoned their original identities, became sworn sisters with Meng San Niang, and took the Meng family surname, which could be considered a new beginning!
Gu Nian felt that they were really lucky to have met Meng San Niang at the critical moment of life and death and been saved.
Moreover, Gu Nian's opinion of Meng Meng's stronghold changed, and she also understood why some people in the stronghold wanted to switch to other strongholds. Meng Meng's stronghold really was a Robin Hood-like organization that robbed the rich to help the thieves. They only robbed the unscrupulous rich and had a bottom line.
Because of Meng Sanniang's existence, it's estimated that finding a wife to take as a bandit chieftain is not allowed to happen.
The bandits were naturally unwilling, and those who stayed behind were all like Meng Meng.
As for Meng Meng's fiancée Jiang Yao, Gu Nian learned about her through the conversation of the four women of the Meng family. A few years ago, Jiang Yao fainted in the mountains outside the stronghold and was rescued by Meng Meng's mother. When she woke up, she took the initiative to ask to be taken in, willing to be a servant or maid, or even a wife of the stronghold.
Meng Meng's mother was the wife of the chief bandit at the time, how could she let a young girl become the chief's wife!
A few years ago, Jiang Yao was only thirteen years old and quite pretty. Meng Meng's mother wanted Meng San Niang and the others to take care of her, but she refused. When she learned that the chief had a son, she immediately offered herself to him, and that's how this marriage agreement came about.
No one knows Jiang Yao's past; she says she can't remember anything about her past after waking up.
Back when the head of the household and his wife were still around, Jiang Yao appeared incredibly innocent, kind, and naive, and the couple liked her quite a bit.
Later, the couple died, and with the unrest in the village, Jiang Yao gradually became impatient.
Gu Nian felt that Jiang Yao probably hadn't forgotten her past, but her status shouldn't be high, otherwise she would never have said anything about becoming a bandit's wife. Her desire to become a bandit's wife was just to find protection in this mountain stronghold full of men.
She probably never liked Meng Meng from beginning to end, and even tried to escape when the opportunity arose.
In her past life, didn't she betray the mountain stronghold and offer herself up to the people of the stronghold to find herself another refuge?
Gu Nian regretted not seeing the ending of the book. Knowing his nephew's nature, Jiang Yao, a traitor, would definitely come back to bother him after Meng Meng achieved success.
What a pity, what a pity!
