Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 287: Marrying the Mountain God 09

"Don't worry, grandma. I am Gu Jianbang's daughter now. From now on, every New Year and festival will be filled with tributes to my father, a glass of his favorite sorghum wine!"

"Hey, your dad is the best."

"Okay, I got it. I'll also give him some side dishes to go with the wine!"

The old lady burst into tears, patted Gu Li's hand and said that she had not mistaken him!

This is what a mother is like. Even though her son has passed away for almost twenty years, she is still making plans for him.

Soon, Gu Li met another mother.

When Lian's mother opened the door and saw Gu Li, she was stunned for a moment, then she held her hand and said, "Child, why is it you, why is it you!"

But her hands were clenched tightly and did not loosen.

Gu Li sighed, "Aunt Yu, I will be your daughter-in-law from now on. I will take care of you until the end of your life!"

Lian's mother's tears flowed silently, and she slowly let go of Gu Li's hand, "You, you go back, it's not you who is engaged to my Yun Shen!"

Gu Li was moved and held Lian's mother's hand. "Aunt Yu, I volunteered. Look, I even brought my dowry!"

After leaving her dowry behind, Old Lady Gu took her people away, and Gu Li finally stayed in the Lian family.

Lian's mother took Gu Li to Lian Yunshen's room and said, "You can sleep in this room. Tomorrow, we will go to see Yunshen."

"Okay, Mom, you should rest early too."

Mother Lian's eyes were red again after she called out "Mom". "Okay, okay, if Yun Shen hadn't had that incident, how happy we would be to see you come into our house right now!"

Gu Li had no time to think deeply about the meaning of Lian's mother's words. She was already exhausted after fighting wits and courage with the Gu family for two consecutive days.

Arriving at the Lian family, she could finally have a good night's sleep.

-----

It was rare that Gu Li got up without any shouting or scolding. She was in a very good mood and lay lazily in bed for a while before getting up.

Lian Yunshen's room was just like him, clean and tidy. In addition to a bed and a wardrobe, there was also a large desk by the window, on which were neatly stacked several curled books.

"Ali, you're awake. Come and have breakfast. It's still hot."

Lian's mother always kept an eye on the west room, and would call Gu Li to have breakfast as soon as she heard any movement.

"Here you go, mother!"

Gu Li took out the brand new wooden basin and towel from her dowry and went to the well in the corner of the yard to fetch water for washing. After she was done, she went to the kitchen.

Lian's mother's eyes were so swollen that she could hardly open them. She forced a gentle smile and called out, "Come here, come here! Eat an egg to replenish your body. You are too thin!"

A bowl of thick porridge was placed on the empty seat next to Lian's mother, an egg was cracked in her hand, and there was a plate of stir-fried radish tops on the table.

There was only one egg, and she peeled it and placed it next to Gu Li.

"Eat, kid!"

Gu Li lowered her eyes. Yun Shen's mother had been very kind to her before, but not to this extent.

The sudden good news made Gu Li feel alert.

Don't blame her for being paranoid. The truth is that up to now, this world has brought her nothing but endless abuse and harsh treatment.

"Mom, are we going to town to see Brother Yun Shen later?"

"No hurry, no hurry. You just take a rest and we'll go to town in the afternoon!" Lian's mother looked at Gu Li lovingly and stuffed the white and tender egg into Gu Li's calloused hands.

"It might be inconvenient to go back so late!"

"We'll stay in town tonight!"

"Mother?" This was very unusual. Her son was about to be executed, but the mother was not in a hurry and would wait until evening to go to the town.

Something doesn't look right.

After looking at Gu Li twice, Lian's mother's gentle brows slowly frowned, "Didn't Fang tell you that you were marrying into my family to give birth to an heir for my son?"

"Well, I will help mother choose a good child and adopt him under Brother Yunshen's name. I will not remarry and will take care of the child and our family in the future----"

Lian's mother stood up from her seat and said, "Who wants to adopt someone else's child? I only want my Yun Shen's child. Of course you have to give birth to Yun Shen's child."

"Ah?" Gu Li's heart was beating fast. "But isn't Brother Yun Shen imprisoned in the prison?"

At this moment, Lian's mother hated Gu Jiande and his wife so much that they played tricks on Gu Li and didn't even tell her the most important thing.

He didn't even take her family seriously.

However, she had no other choice. Gu Li had already moved into her house, and there was no room for maneuver.

Lian's mother took a deep breath, sat back in the chair, and took Gu Li's hand. "Child, Aunt Yu is sorry for you, but I have no other choice. I will send you to jail tonight. You, you can consummate your marriage with Yun Shen in jail!"

Gu Li:-----

Can this still be done?

Seeing that Gu Li was frightened, Lian Mu bent her knees and was about to kneel down, but Gu Li quickly supported her.

"Aunt Yu is sorry for you. Before Yun Shen got into trouble, I didn't fight for you. Now I'm asking you to make such a big sacrifice. I'm sorry. But Yun Shen has never forgotten you. You're the one he wanted to marry. It was me who suppressed him and prevented him from looking for you. Can you, for the sake of our past relationship, leave a descendant for your brother Yun Shen?"

Gu Li was speechless. No wonder Gu Jixia was so unwilling to marry into the Lian family that she even had to go to the prison to find her husband to consummate their marriage.

It's harder than being a widow!

Didn't the other prisoners see and hear all of this?

Gu Liguang grabbed the ground with his five fingers just thinking about it, and the corners of his mouth twitched because of the numbness.

She actually underestimated Fang's mother and daughter. She looked at the two people who were making so much noise, but she didn't expect them to be so tight-lipped that they could hold back on such explosive information without revealing a single bit!

"Mom, can we enter the prison whenever we want?" In Gu Li's imagination, prison visits meant at most delivering food and clothes to relatives through the bars. If one wanted to enter the inner compartment, one had to be someone with a powerful background.

But Lian Yunshen has only a widowed mother to support the Lian family.

"Yes, yes, mother has already found someone who can let you in when the time comes. Don't worry, it will be quick the first time."

Gu Li:-----

Gu Li only knew that Lian Yunshen's father, her maternal grandfather, and her mother were all refugees who had drifted here. Because her maternal grandfather and Lian's father were both scholars, and both were foreigners who had fled from the war-torn border of the north, they quickly became acquainted.

Later, Gu Li's mother married Gu Jiande from the next village. Gu's grandfather had always been in poor health, and they were worried that once he passed away, his only daughter would no longer have the support of her family, so they arranged a marriage for each other's children with Lian's father.

They are Gu Li and Lian Yunshen.

She heard these from her mother when she was a child. After her mother passed away, she almost never came to Taohua Village again and she was not sure about the strength of her mother's family.
