Chapter 311: Marrying the Mountain God 33
Gu Li thought of the dropped cloth shoe again, "Did you also eat that little girl named Si Ya?"
Tang Lan'er did not answer immediately this time. The burning sensation on her body made her twist in pain.
"I didn't hurt anyone. Zhuzi brought all the children to me to eat. I didn't want to eat them at first, but Zhuzi insisted on feeding me. Woo woo woo!"
Tang Lan'er, her whole body on fire, fell to the ground in pain. She used her torso to wrap around the children who had been burned to black ashes.
"I am very obedient. If Dashan tells me not to go out, I will. Dashan hunts for me delicious game every day. I finally have Dashan's child, and we are so happy. I should not have left the mountain. I------"
Tang Lan'er's sweet voice gradually disappeared in the fire.
Everyone present was silent, watching quietly as a flame suddenly shot up high and then slowly returned to normal.
The fire burned all night long, and the carefully built brick and tile house collapsed into ruins.
At dawn, sparks were still flickering in the ruins.
The detectives who had been on guard all night stretched their muscles and checked the ruins again. Even Zhuzi's body was burned. So the detectives and the coroner hurried back to the government office.
Gu Li left after Tang Lan'er fell down.
The two of them came back too late last night and didn't want to wake up Lian's mother, so they had to sleep in the same bed.
We also covered ourselves with the same quilt.
Lian Yunshen said that there were no extra quilts in his room, as all the quilts were collected in his mother's room.
Before going to bed, the two of them were lying separately, but when they woke up, they were already stuck together.
As if she had done it thousands of times before, Gu Li woke up from Lian Yunshen's arms and asked naturally, "Morning!"
"Morning, Xiaoli'er!"
Realizing how ambiguous their postures were, the two of them just stared at each other in a stalemate, each waiting for the other to make the first move.
Gu Li was thinking about how to get out of his arms without being too abrupt, when her mother called her to get up outside the house.
"Yun Shen, A Li, are you awake? Something big happened in the village!"
"Mom, we're awake!" Gu Li rolled inside and kicked Lian Yunshen to get up quickly.
Lian Yunshen looked at Gu Li, whose head was only half exposed outside the quilt, and said with a smile: "Our mother won't come in."
The most intimate thing between the two of them has already been done. It's just sleeping in the same bed. Why are you still so shy?
At the dinner table, Lian's mother told them the news she had just heard when she went to the river to wash clothes.
"I heard that Shitou's wife wanted to come back and divorce Shitou, and she didn't even want to give the child to the Qi family! Hongyun's wife had another stroke. Alas, the village chief's good family is broken up just like that."
"Zhang Yuan's family found out that their fourth daughter was deceived by Zhuzi, and now they are going to the village chief's house to make trouble and demand an explanation!"
Gu Li remembered the woman from last night, "She knows she needs to explain now. Her daughter has been missing for so many days and no one knows how to find her."
"Yes, they probably want money. Zhang Yuan's precious son has always been sick and needs medicine to take care of him. His family has already sold a maid to get money for the medicine. Now they must be planning to do the same thing!"
An indescribable depression weighed on her chest, and Gu Li rarely went to get a second bowl of porridge.
"Are you full? Can I give you another bowl?"
Gu Li blushed, "Mom, I'm really full!"
This petite girl doesn't actually have a big appetite, but she hasn't had a full meal for a long time, so she always eats too much.
This left Lian's mother with the impression that he was a big eater.
"Then have another steamed bun with some eggs in it!" Lian's mother picked up the biggest steamed bun and stuffed it into Gu Li's hand, pushing it towards her mouth.
Gu Li:-----
She really had no appetite. It was the first time she felt the heaviness of maternal love.
Lian Yunshen took the steamed bun from Gu Li's hand with a smile, "Mom, I'm not full yet, give this to me!"
Lian's mother glared at him and said, "If you want to eat, why don't you get it yourself? Why are you trying to steal Ah Li's!"
Just as Lian's mother was about to get some more food for Gu Li, someone ran in from the gate of the courtyard.
"Aunt Lian, is my sister-in-law Yunshen at home? My third uncle asked me to call you to the village entrance."
Lian's mother immediately stood up and ran out to ask, "What do you want to do with my Ah Li?"
It's possible to find her or Yun Shen. Her daughter-in-law has just married into Taohua Village. Is there anything she needs Ah Li for?
Qi Feng's eyes flickered, his arm muscles were tense, and he glanced at Gu Li excitedly but cautiously.
Gu Li:-----
Suddenly, everything in front of her went dark and Lian Yunshen stood in front of her, obviously trying to block Qi Yuan's gaze from his wife.
Qi Feng blushed, looking at the ground with nowhere to put his eyes. "That's right, my sister-in-law's family has received the betrothal gifts sent by the mountain god, but they don't seem to plan to send them over. Third uncle wants my sister-in-law to take us with him to move the things."
Lian Yunshen was very satisfied with the fact that he quickly changed his tone to address her as sister-in-law and turned to look at Gu Li.
Gu Li then remembered that she had not yet told Lian Yunshen about Gu Jixia's marriage exchange with her to marry the mountain god.
"I'll talk to you on the way." Then he said to the man at the door, "You go first, we'll be there soon."
After all, he is known as the mountain god, so how can the wedding gifts be poor? All those things must be snatched away without leaving anything behind!
They probably heard Fang cursing outside the yard last night because she was reluctant to give away the things.
Ha ha.
Their retribution will come soon!
Lian Yunshen would definitely go with her, and Lian's mother also wanted to go.
"Mom, you must be very tired from running back and forth between the village and the town these days. You should just rest at home. The things of the Gu family will belong to the village when they come back. I don't need to help. They will definitely do their best."
Lian's mother was still worried, "What if Fang uses the genealogy of the elders to pressure you again? I'm here and I won't let her bully you."
"Mom, I want to eat meat!"
"Ah?" Lian's mother was stunned. Why did the topic turn to this?
"Mom, we haven't had a good meal for days. I want to eat meat. There's not much food left at home, and we need to buy a lot of things!"
Lian's mother:-----
There are many villages at the foot of Lingyun Mountain. The larger Shangshui Village in the south has a small store, which makes it convenient for people to buy what they need without going into the city.
Although the things there are not very complete, they can still meet daily needs.
Gu Li went back to the house and took out the box they had dug up last night. "I'll keep five taels of silver for other uses, and give the rest to mother for safekeeping!"
Lian's mother waved her hands repeatedly, saying that she didn't want anything. "This is what Yun Shen saved for you, you can keep it."
Gu Li still handed the box to Lian's mother, "Mom, I want to eat meat!"
Lian's mother:-----
The family was very poor and she had no money to buy meat.
Lian Yunshen also said, "Mom, just keep it." This silver was originally intended to be saved as a dowry for Gu Li. At that time, he didn't think that Gu Li would marry him. This silver would most likely be taken to another man's home.
Now he felt a little uncomfortable looking at the silver, "I will earn back Xiao Li'er's savings."
