Chapter 4

When I got home, it was already dusk all over the field.

Zhang Jianshan closed the firewood door, Su Lian stretched out the clothes to hang up, the two big ones hid in the house.

There was no entertainment in ancient times, and the family was so poor that they couldn't even light candles, so Aji got into bed early and fell asleep.

Su Lian didn't want to go to bed so early, firstly, she needed to sort out her future plans, and secondly, she was also worried that the lonely man would plot against her, so she simply squatted by the brazier and drew a mind map with a branch.

Sitting and sitting, the whole body is getting colder and colder.Su Lian shivered, listening to the even breathing of the little boy, wondering if she could fall asleep.

Zhang Jianshan looked at the back of the little girl, with a look of refusal to be thousands of miles away, already shivering from the cold, and refused to come to sleep.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you." Zhang Jianshan said lazily.

Su Lian was shocked when he heard a strange cold voice coming from the dark room, and his whole body became cold.After thinking about it, there is no other man in this room except Zhang Jianshan.

But the cold attitude in his words is completely different from the honest mountain villager during the day.

"Seeing that Brother Shan is still asleep?" Su Lian forced herself to be calm.

"If I really have a plan, why wait until now?" Zhang Jianshan turned over.

Su Lian thought, that's true, she made it clear before that she would never do anything to force her.What's more, she has to figure out the situation by herself. Apart from this family, there is no place for her in the world.

Su Lian said: "Seeing Brother Shan misunderstood, many things have happened in the past few days, Lian'er has lost her memory again, her heart is in a mess, and she is trying to organize her thoughts. Lian'er fell asleep now."

There was no response from the other end.

Su Lian groped and walked over, lifted the quilt and lay down.There was an Aji between her and Zhang Jianshan, although it was a kang, she felt more at ease after all.

But she had never lived in the same room with a man overnight in her two lifetimes, so she was really worried.

The kang was burning warmly, and occasionally there was a slight sound of firewood crackling and cracking. Su Lian was thinking about things at night, listening to the wind outside the window and the sound of breathing around him.

When the cock crowed, Su Lian felt a noise coming from her side, and opened her eyes in a daze, only to see that Zhang Jianshan had gotten up and was getting dressed.

His lean muscle lines are not the kind of swelling that makes people afraid, but just right slender and seductive.In a daze, Su Lian forgot to avoid suspicion, and stared blankly for a while.

As if feeling her gaze, Zhang Jianshan turned his head and took a look at her.

"There should be prey in the trap I made yesterday. I'll go and have a look. I'll bring back some more firewood, or I'll sleep on the cold bed at night." He turned around again, tied the short knife around his waist, and took the bow from the wall. Drape it on your arm and pull it full.

The bow is like a full moon, and the silhouette of the man is sharp and sassy.

Where have you seen it before?

"Don't look, just sleep a little longer." The man smiled faintly, walked out the door vigorously, and closed the door gently behind his back.

With him gone, she slept more peacefully.Turning over to touch the little cub beside him, he found that the cub was warm all over, like a small stove.

Su Lian put her hands into the cub's arms, and continued to fall into a deep sleep.

It was broad daylight when I woke up.At this time, the peasant woman had already gotten up to work, Su Lian thought that she should get used to it sooner, so she got up to wash, took out the few beans left in the rice tank yesterday, cooked porridge water, and then woke up the little boy, Dress him, teach him to wash his face, serve him breakfast, and take back the clothes that were hanging in the yard yesterday.

As soon as things were cleaned up, the neighbor's second dog came to play with Aji. Su Lian told them not to run far, so they squatted in the yard to play.

I was idly staring at the children playing with mud, when suddenly I heard someone outside the courtyard shouting: "Lian'er!"

Su Lian looked around, and it was the woman who threw herself on her and cried that day.

"Mother!" Su Lian rolled her eyes, walked forward with small steps, opened the door, and saw her mother with a basket and a bundle in her arms, hugging the woman excitedly.

"Aniang! You're done! My daughter is so miserable!" After saying that, she threw herself into Aniang's arms and began to cry.

"My Lian'er! How can you bear to abandon mother? Fortunately, she was rescued, otherwise how would you let mother live?" Li Shi hugged her daughter and started crying.

After the two of them cried, Su Lian naturally took the basket and bundle from her old mother's hand, and said delicately: "Mother came to see Lian'er, Lian'er was overjoyed, why bother to bring so many things, my mother is exhausted. How about it?"

The two mothers joined hands and entered the house. Mrs. Li looked around the barren loess house, her nose sore, and tears welled up again.

"Your heartless father, who killed a thousand swords! Marry my precious daughter to this kind of place!" Li stamped her feet and cursed.

"Mother, after my daughter woke up, she found that she couldn't remember anything. She only remembered that you were my mother, and... and Brother Jianshan saved me." Su Lian said pitifully.

"What?! Lian'er has amnesia?" Li grabbed Su Lian's hand and looked at her nervously.

"Hmm... When I woke up, I found that I couldn't remember many things clearly. Lian'er didn't remember how she got married, nor what happened at her mother's house... People in the village said that Lian'er had a bad reputation..." Su Lian As he spoke, he lowered his head and began to cry.

I never thought that my acting skills could reach this level of crying whenever I wanted, Su Lian couldn't help feeling sorry that she should have gone to the film school in her previous life.

"Ah! My miserable Lian'er! You were killed by that bitch Zhao Wanzhen!" Li Shi said bitterly.

"Zhao Wanzhen? Who is she?" Su Lian asked.She really didn't know anything, and it was appropriate to pretend to have amnesia.

"It's that pickle who kills thousands of knives! The little bitch that your father brought in! Mother has been married to his Su family for 26 years, but she has suffered for half her life! It's all because of this little bitch!" Li gnashed her teeth in hatred. .

"Aniang, tell Lian'er quickly, what's going on?" Su Lian pulled Li Shi to sit down.

Su Lian's father, Su Qin Mingyonghe, took the examination of scholar in three years, but he has been failing since then, and he runs a private school in the county.This Mrs. Li married Su Qinming at the age of 16, and they were still affectionate for the first two years, but Mrs. Li's stomach has not moved.In the third year, Su Qinming took a concubine according to his mother's order, which was Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao gave birth to a son named Su Shen in the first year of her marriage into the Su family.Two years later, another daughter was born, named Su Yue.This son and daughter raised Aunt Zhao's position in the Su family to the sky.Mrs. Li was trampled and bullied by her mother-in-law and Aunt Zhao for five or six years before she had a daughter named Su Lian.

Although Su Lian is the daughter-in-law, she is the youngest who is the least valued. Her mother's status in the Su family is not high, so she is also wronged.Fortunately, she has been very intelligent since she was a child. Since she was two years old, she watched others read under her father's lap, and she actually learned to read and read faster than those brothers in the private school.Su Qinming often lamented that it would be great if Su Lian was a man, and he would surely be able to pass one or two exams and make his family famous.

The daughter has the love of her father, Su Lianiang's situation is better, but it also makes Aunt Zhao hate this smart and sensible young daughter.Su Lian secretly likes Su Qinming's favorite student named Qi Rui, but she has been in love all the time and has not even said a few words.Su Qin's original intention was to find a good family for the only prostitute daughter, and Su Lian has been listening to him and waiting for his father to arrange.

In the spring of this year, Qi Rui was going to the Yangzhou Tribute Academy to take the Chunwei exam, and before leaving, he secretly wrote a letter to Su Lian.The letter somehow fell into Aunt Zhao's hands, telling her that the two were in love.Aunt Zhao's son-in-law and eldest sister Su Yue's husband, Chen Dingchuan, is of the same family as Qi Rui, so Zhao Wanfen resorted to a trick, asking Chen Dingchuan to deceive Su Lian with a letter, saying that Qi Rui asked her to say goodbye.Su Lian refused to go, and Chen Dingchuan urged him again and again, but Su Lian finally fell for the trick.

Just when Su Lian arrived as promised, her father also rushed over upon hearing the news.As a result, Su Lian didn't even see Qi Rui's figure, so she was wronged and said that she had eloped with someone.

This incident should have been smothered to death in the Su family, but somehow it spread throughout Qinghe County, and Aunt Zhao's credit was behind it.Su Lian's originally promised marriage was rescinded, Su Qin's famous general Su Lian and her mother were beaten up, starved for three days, and asked someone to find a random mountain villager, wishing to marry Su Lian as far away as possible.It happened that Zhang Jianshan, a hunter in Zhangjia Village, wanted to continue his marriage, and Su Qin didn't want a bride price, so he hastily stuffed Su Lian into the sedan chair.

Although Su Lian has an introverted personality, she has been careful in every step since she was a child, and keeps herself clean.Unable to get angry at such an ending that everyone despises, on the day of their marriage, on the way out of Qinghe County, when the sedan chair was crossing the bridge, he rushed out of the sedan chair and threw himself into the river.

"Fortunately, your husband-in-law is good at water, and immediately jumped down and rescued you. Lian'er, you are the only daughter of my mother, and you are my only thought. If you want to leave, take your mother with you. Let's go..." Li Shi hugged Su Lian and cried bitterly.

The moment Li raised her hand, Su Lian caught a glimpse of the scar on her wrist, and hurriedly rolled up her mother's sleeve.I saw seven or eight new scars that were red and black on the thin arm.

Su Lian took a breath of cold air: "He hit you?!"

Li put down her sleeves, wiped away her tears, held Su Lian's face and said: "As long as my Lian'er lives well, Mother is not afraid of being wronged."

Su Lianteng stood up suddenly.

She was born in a poor family in her previous life, and her parents were ordinary people, but as an only daughter, she never lacked in love.There is such a stinky man in the world who not only kills his daughter but also beats his wife!
Su Lian gritted her teeth and said: "Mother, just wait, Lian'er will definitely avenge you! In the future, Lian'er will be successful, and she must go out and make a fortune, and bring mother to live a good life together! By the way, trample the rotten members of that family!" Go into the mud and vent your anger on mother!"

"The daughter's family, the most important thing is to live a good life quietly and dutifully. No matter how big the world is, there is no bigger world than the husband's family." Li Shi said.

Su Lian said: "Mother, don't say such depressing words. Who says women are inferior to men? Lian'er has died once, so she understands it well. We women rely on men to die, and our fate must be firmly in our own hands! "

"Lian'er! Don't say such outrageous things!" Mrs. Li reprimanded softly, signaling Su Lian to keep her voice down.
