Zhong Yian was discovered by the villagers early in the morning.
Mother Zhong ran over crying.
"Son! What's wrong with you? Who the hell dared to hit my son...!"
Zhong Yian had been woken up by the cold a long time ago, but he was in pain all over and couldn't open his mouth.
"Host, aren't you afraid that he'll cause trouble for you once he can speak?"
"What are you afraid of? Did he see that it was me who hit him?"
It's no use seeing it, who would believe him?
"Alright, stop talking nonsense and quickly find me some ginseng. I, your host, don't have any warm clothes or food this winter. Sigh! My life is truly miserable!"
"Sister, why are we carrying baskets? There are no wild vegetables to eat in the mountains."
"Sister will take you to dig something good."
A few days ago, when she went up the mountain, she found a lot of yams, which she dug up for the winter.
There are only two of them, a brother and a sister, living in the mountains. In this weather, those who have food are all staying indoors.
As an ordinary person, she still needs to have her own land. When she has money, she will buy a few acres of good land so that she can take out the food in the space openly.
In fact, their family had land before, but their mother was in poor health, so they had to sell all the land in order to treat her illness.
In the end, the disease was not cured and my father lost his life.
Alas! The couple had a good relationship, but when one of them passed away, the other couldn't live anymore. He was listless all day long, and finally went up the mountain to chop firewood and unfortunately fell off a cliff and died.
What could they do after leaving behind a pair of young children? The Zhong family was willing to occasionally help her younger brother, so Nan Xueluo had no choice but to agree.
The brother and sister dug a lot of yams, and Nan Xueluo also dug a fifty-year-old ginseng.
"Sister, how are you going to eat this carrot?"
Radish? My silly brother, this is not a radish, it is ginseng!
"This is ginseng, little brother. I'm going to sell it to the clinic."
"Sister, how did you know?"
Nan Xueluo made up a bunch of nonsense.
Look at the desire for medical knowledge in his eyes.
"Okay, if you like, I'll teach you later."
"I like it. I will definitely study hard."
After learning medical skills, he will be able to save more unfortunate people in the future.
Although he was still young when his mother died, he already remembers it. It would have been great if he had known medical skills at that time.
If that were the case, wouldn’t my mother have died?
They first went to the town to sell ginseng and got thirty taels of silver. The brother and sister bought a lot of daily necessities and food, a few sets of clothes, and two quilts.
When they returned to the village, it was already dark and no one saw them come back.
"Since you came home, I've gained weight."
It’s so nice to have my sister by my side! I have enough food and warm clothes every day.
"It's all my fault. I won't let you go hungry again."
"Well, I also want to grow up quickly, protect my sister, and buy her lots of delicious food."
The brother and sister went back and forth to the mountains several times every day and dug up all the edible things there.
At the Zhong family's side, Zhong Yian was finally able to speak.
"Son! You can finally speak. I've been worried sick these past few days."
Father Zhong asked with concern:
"Who hit you, An'er?"
"My son doesn't know either."
He really didn't know! It definitely wasn't Nan Xueluo. She loved him so much, how could she bear to hit him?
It’s impossible for Nan Lizhou either, he doesn’t have that much strength.
"Although my son doesn't know who did it, he was beaten at Nan Xueluo's house. It must have been the work of the Nan family's eldest wife. After all, everyone in the village knows that they always steal things from the second wife at night."
Yes! It must be the eldest branch of the Nan family. That family is a thief. They were afraid that their son would catch them on the spot, so they took the initiative to strike first.
After Zhong Yian recovered from his injuries, he pretended to meet Nan Xueluo by chance, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Luoluo, are you going up the mountain to chop wood? How can a girl like you do such rough work? There's no adult man in the family."
She really couldn't accept this compliment.
"You're wrong. Having a man at home is useless. I remember that the men in your Zhong family never do rough work. All the dirty and tiring work has to be done by women. I've been in your family for seven years! I've done rough work for seven years. Now that I'm back home, I feel a lot more relaxed and not as tired."
Zhong Yian looked a little embarrassed and frantically made excuses for himself.
"I was busy with business, wasn't I? You know my father is a peddler, and it's very hard for him to walk around Dongchuang Lane every day. I was also busy doing business so that I could open a shop for my family as soon as possible. Otherwise, why would you do all the dirty work?"
Zhiyo, bah! You sound so nice, but do you believe it?
She was too lazy to listen to his whining, but Zhong Yianquan stopped her on the side of the road and wouldn't let her go.
"Luoluo, please don't be angry with me, okay? I know I've let you down, and I don't know why I couldn't control myself and had to fall in love with Lian'er."
"But believe me, I do have feelings for you. After all, we grew up together as childhood sweethearts. My affection for you is no less than my affection for Lian'er."
Nan Xueluo lowered her eyes in disgust, and when she looked up again, her eyes were clear.
"So? What exactly do you want to say? Do you want me to become your concubine?"
"What do you mean by concubine or not? That's just a statement to the outside world. In my heart, you and Lian'er are both my wives. Lian'er also said that she is willing to call you sister. There is no distinction between the elder and the younger."
"Luoluo, you like me too, don't you? Don't worry, as long as you enter my Zhong family, I will never let you suffer any injustice. I am also willing to help you raise Xiao Zhou until he grows up."
What a wishful thinking! You want us, my sister and I, to work like slaves for your family, and you act like we're being given a gift. Bah, get the hell out of here!
"No need for that. You should just stay with your Lian'er. I'd be a fool to go back to that big cage in your middle. If you want me to be your concubine, go ahead and dream about your Spring and Autumn days."
"Pah, what a thing! You're just a peddler running a grocery store, and you're imitating a rich master by taking a concubine! Don't you even consider whether you're worthy enough?"
Zhong Yian was so angry that he stomped his feet unwillingly as he watched her leaving.
After returning home, I told my wife what happened today.
Liu Lian'er leaned gently in his arms, her voice soft.
"Husband, don't be angry. A girl, no matter how fierce she is, once she loses her virginity, she will have to control her temper and be a good woman."
Zhong Yian thought of Nan Xueluo's graceful figure, and his imagination ran wild.
"Ma'am, aren't you angry?"
"Oh, my husband, since I'm married to you, I have to consider everything for you. Besides, Sister Luoluo has been in your house for so many years, and her reputation is ruined. If you don't want her, isn't this forcing her to die? I can't bear to watch her die."
"Lian'er, you're so kind. What more could a husband ask for than to marry a wife like this?"
In broad daylight, the two of them closed the door and soon unspeakable sounds were heard.
