Chapter 288: Marrying the Mountain God 10
Lian's mother's maiden name was Qi and she was from Taohua Village. The Lian family originally intended to recruit Lian's father as a son-in-law because the Qi family had given birth to six daughters in a row but couldn't give birth to a son.
However, Lian's mother, thinking of Lian's father's status as a scholar and the fact that he would have to continue taking imperial examinations in the future, refused to agree and was willing to leave the house and marry Lian's father, who only had a shabby thatched hut at the end of the village at that time.
Later, Lian's father went to the town to find a job at the academy. Gradually, the Lian family's life improved. Lian's father also helped Lian's mother's brothers-in-law.
Up to now, Lian's mother's four brothers-in-law have settled down in the town, and even brought Lian's mother to the city. Lian's father's contribution was indispensable.
On the contrary, the Lian family returned to the village because of the death of Lian's father.
When you drink water, remember the person who dug the well. Although the four uncles could not save Lian Yunshen, they could still do it with some small actions by working together.
For example, he would put a newly married young bride into prison to consummate the marriage and leave the last bloodline for the Lian family.
The uncle who was the jailer was responsible for taking care of everything, the uncle who was the steward in the academy put pressure on Gu Jiazu, the uncle who was the shopkeeper in the town provided the money, the uncle who was the coachman for a wealthy family was responsible for running errands, and the aunt who was the concubine of an official under the prefect was responsible for whispering in the emperor's ear.
After hearing the arrangements, Gu Li felt completely numb!
If you have such great ability, why not get a death row prisoner to swap out Lian Yunshen?
Gu Li opened her mouth but said nothing in the end.
If that happens, Lian Yunshen will have to live in obscurity for the rest of his life.
Based on Gu Li's understanding of him, that would be more painful than killing Lian Yunshen!
In the afternoon, Lian's mother specially changed Gu Li into a dress she wore when she was young, tied her hair into a neat bun, put a peach wood hairpin in her hair, and took her out.
My uncle came to pick them up in a donkey cart.
Gu Li numbly followed the donkey cart and until now she has not been able to adapt to her current predicament.
If you want to make a living in this world, you must have a child, and it must be a boy.
Even if she passed the prison cell marriage consummation test, she couldn't be sure that Lian Yunshen could hit the target with one shot! Even if he was a sharpshooter, he couldn't guarantee that the first child would be a boy!
Along the way, Lian's mother held Gu Li's hand the whole time, as if she was afraid that she would run away, and as if she was cheering her up.
"Don't be afraid, it will be quick. Just listen to your mother. Only children born by yourself will be of the same mind as you."
"Don't blame me for doing this. When you become a mother, you will understand my good intentions. Only when you have a child will your heartless parents stop targeting you. Then, the three of us, grandparents and grandchildren, can live a good life. Okay?"
"Mother will treat you well in the future and treat you as my own daughter."
Lian's mother said whatever she thought in a gentle voice, but Gu Li could hear the determination in it.
If Gu Li didn't agree, it would destroy a mother's hope of survival. There is no doubt that even her mother would not be able to survive.
"Okay, I'll listen to my mother." said Gu Li.
Lian Mu's tears, which had already dried up, fell again. She only held Gu Li's hand tighter. She said nothing more, turned her face away, and quietly wiped the corners of her eyes.
In fact, if Gu Li wanted to object, she would not force it. At most, she would go to hell with her son.
But Guli agreed.
When they arrived in town, they did not go directly to the prison. Instead, the donkey cart turned into an alley and stopped at the back door of a house.
The second uncle opened the door for them and gave Gu Li a black cloak and a packet of medicine powder.
"I can't leave here, and I don't trust anyone else with this thing, so I have to hand it over to you personally. Do you remember everything I told you just now?"
Gu Li lowered her head with a wooden face and uttered a "hmm" from her nose.
When they arrived at the cell door, the sun was already setting.
The third uncle had been waiting at the door early. When he saw them coming, he just looked at Gu Li, who was wearing a cloak, for a while and then took her in.
Even my mother and uncle were left outside.
The third uncle took Gu Li into the dark cell, and walked through many twists and turns until they reached the innermost part. During the process, they met other jailers, but they all seemed to have a tacit understanding and pretended not to see Gu Li.
"Go in, all the prisoners nearby have been moved away, but don't make too much noise!" My third uncle almost said this in a whisper, then turned around and ran away.
I guess it's already his limit for a rough guy like him to say such things to his nephew's wife.
The cell door was not locked, the chain was just placed on it for show. Gu Li pulled the chain open and walked into the cell which was covered with hay.
Lian Yunshen was lying on the hay with his back to the door, his hands and feet shackled. Even when he heard the sound, he didn't even look back.
"Brother Yunshen!" Gu Li called softly from the doorway.
The figure in the shadows suddenly froze, then quickly turned around.
There were no windows in the cell, and the only light was an oil lamp in the corridor outside. Lian Yunshen could not clearly see who was coming, and his ears felt numb, as if he was hallucinating.
"Brother Yunshen, I'm Gu Li." Gu Li raised her hand and took off her hood.
Lian Yunshen's expression suddenly changed. He sat up, and the chains on his body rustled. "Xiao Li'er, why are you here?"
Gu Li then walked closer with confidence and squatted in front of Lian Yunshen, "I came to see you!"
In the dim light, Lian Yunshen tried to see Gu Li's face clearly.
Gu Li was also looking at him.
Lian Yunshen has a pair of very beautiful eyes, with a naturally upturned shape. There is a faint light flashing in his clear pupils, and he looks very gentle when he looks at people.
Even though he was wearing prison uniform and his hair was disheveled, it did not affect his inherent elegance and easy-going nature.
Lian Yunshen quickly retracted his gaze and turned his head away from her, "This is not the place you should be, go back quickly."
Gu Li reached out and touched his hand on his knee, "Brother Yun Shen, I am your wife now. I came here with a mission."
Lian Yunshen's hand moved, but he quickly pulled it away. He resolutely did not look back, "I don't have a wife, you are not my wife, you should go home quickly."
His mother told him about the idea of getting married early and keeping the child in prison, but he just thought it was self-consolation that his mother could not accept at the moment.
Besides, he didn't like Gu Jixia, so how could he do such a thing with her in prison.
But he didn't expect that the person who came now was Gu Li.
Then he couldn't harm her.
Gu Li simply sat down next to him, leaning all her weight on Lian Yunshen, just like they did when they were children.
This time, Lian Yunshen did not hide.
"I think Aunt Yu's suggestion is very good. Giving me a child will ensure that Aunt Yu and I will not be sold for the rest of our lives!"
Lian Yunshen clenched his fists and clenched his teeth tightly.
It’s all his fault. It’s all his fault. He couldn’t give them a stable life.
But now that things have come to this, should he really let Gu Li take his last name as his mother said?
Without her husband's support, how good will her future life be!
