There were still a few days before the workshop started, so Taohua took Liu Yue back to her parents' home. Liu Anan also wanted to join in and insisted on going along.
If Liu Anan wants to go, Lian Sheng will have to follow him. Liu Yue is one of them.
Taohua took one look at it and said, come on, take them both. Anyway, these two children are as close as their own children.
Taohua's natal village, Xiwu Village, is more than a hundred miles away from Kaoshan Village. A few people arranged their family affairs and set off on a mule cart early in the morning.
Taohua said with a smile: "Ah Yue, you are such a good son-in-law. This child is so considerate and treats An An wholeheartedly."
Liu Yue was naturally happy and said: "Lian Sheng spoils An An to the point of death. If An An wants to make a fire, Lian Sheng has to rush to deliver the flint."
"Hahaha."
Taohua laughed loudly, even raising the corners of her mouth.
The few people were not in a hurry and rested when they were tired. They arrived at Xiwu Village at noon the next day.
As soon as I entered the village, I heard a noise in front of me, like someone was quarreling.
"Aunt Taohua, mother, let's go take a look." After saying that, Liu Anan jumped out of the car and ran over.
Liu Yue and Tao Hua had always had a good relationship, and later they even became god sisters, so Liu Anan changed her name to Aunt Tao Hua.
The driver was Wang Bo from the village. Wang Bo parked the car out of the way and waited for the two children.
Liu Anan and Lian Sheng ran over and squeezed into the crowd. They saw a mother and daughter sitting on the ground. Their clothes were torn and their hair was messy, as if they had just finished a fight.
The young girl was hugging a woman, crying and saying: "Mom, wake up, don't scare me!"
"Yingzi, don't cry, Mr. Li is here, everyone, please step aside!" said an aunt.
The onlookers stepped aside, and the doctor carrying a medicine box trotted in and squatted down to treat the woman.
"What's going on?" Liu An'an asked an aunt beside him quietly.
The aunt took a look and saw a little girl and a young boy.
This little girl is so beautiful, like a little fairy!
This boy is good-looking too, huh? Is there a scar on your face? What a pity, otherwise this young boy would really have no choice!
In just a short period of time, this lady had so many thoughts in her mind.
"aunt?"
Liu Anan looked at the aunt in front of him looking at him and Lian Sheng, smiling for a while and frowning for a while. Wasn't the way the aunt got up early in the morning wrong?
Only then did the aunt come back to her senses and whispered: "You two are from other villages, right? Alas, the Zhang family is really lacking in virtue."
It turned out that the mother and daughter belonged to the eldest family of the Zhang family, the young girl was named Zhang Yingzi, and the woman was her mother Ge.
What a coincidence, this Yingzi is the girl Taohua wants to introduce to Shuisheng!
Old man Zhang of the Zhang family has three sons. Yingzi's father is the eldest, and the second and third sons are born to Mr. Zhang's later wife, Jin.
As the saying goes, if there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather.
The old man treated his eldest son fairly at first. Although he cared about the Jin family and didn't show much love to his son, it was reasonable because he was his eldest son after all.
The Jin family who married later also had a good belly and gave birth to two sons in one go, literally running sideways in the Zhang family.
After having a son, Jin must have planned more for his son, and the old man's feelings for his eldest son gradually faded.
Yingzi's father was a real bore. As time passed, Old Man Zhang could only treat his eldest son that way.
When Old Man Zhang's father and mother, that is, Yingzi's father's grandparents, were around, the Jin family was a little more restrained.
But as soon as the old man left and the Jin family became the family, Yingzi's father began to live a life of dire straits.
He had the most work and the worst food. From time to time, Jin would gossip.
It was not easy to marry Yingzi's mother.
Yingzi's mother, Ge, was chosen by Yingzi's father. If he hadn't begged Old Man Zhang on his knees, Yingzi's father would have been a bachelor for the rest of his life.
When I got married to Yingzi's mother, there was no banquet at home. On the second day after the wedding, she was purged and left home.
After the family was separated, Yingzi's parents were both hard-working people. They slowly built several thatched houses from the broken sheds that leaked air from everywhere. Later, Yingzi was born.
Yingzi is the eldest daughter, and the Zhang family eldest couple are also happy. Although it is not a son, this is their first child.
But the Jin family jumped out and acted like a monster again, saying that the Ge family would not have a son, and forced Yingzi's father to divorce the Ge family as her mother-in-law and marry her second niece.
Old man Zhang also forced his eldest son, but Yingzi's father refused and begged the village chief.
After the village chief came forward, Jin bowed his head and sent the niece back to her parents' home.
However, Jin's bullying of Ge's family became even more serious, and he wanted to block the door of the big room and scold her every day.
The family was separated, and Yingzi's parents were asked to do the work and do the laundry.
The honest Zhang family eldest couple endured for the sake of their children, which invisibly fueled the Jin family's arrogance.
It wasn't until Yingzi's younger brother was born that the Jin family calmed down a little bit, that's all.
When Yingzi's younger brother was born, Ge's nutrition could not keep up. The family was poor, so Yingzi's father went to the river to catch fish and make some fish soup for his daughter-in-law to replenish her health.
As a result, the fish just caught was snatched away by the second son of the Zhang family.
He is an uncle, and the second son's son is his nephew. Although he is not a mother, he can't take it back and can only go home empty-handed.
This was all instigated by Jin behind her back. She didn't come forward and let the juniors do it.
There are too many little things like this. In short, Yingzi's father has been using this house as a second and third house for many years.
One year, Jin almost sold Yingzi's younger brother in order to send his second wife's son to school. If Yingzi's father hadn't picked up a hatchet, the buyer would have taken him away.
This time Liu Anan and the others met, it was the Jin family who was causing trouble again.
In order for her to marry her eldest grandson, the eldest son of the second wife, Jin prepared a betrothal gift and forced the first brother to pay ten taels of silver.
Although Yingzi's two younger brothers were also married, the frugality of only ten taels of silver was enough to cover the expenses of a large family for a year or two.
Besides, where did the Yingzi family get ten taels of silver?
The Jin family brought a group of sons and daughters-in-law to Mr. Zhang's house to cause trouble. By chance, Yingzi's father and younger brother were not at home, so the family took advantage of the large number of people and smashed up Yingzi's house and also beat Ge.
After Liu Anan heard what his aunt said, he looked at Lian Sheng, and both of them sighed.
The eldest son of the Zhang family is really tolerant. His surname is Zhang even after the family is divided. The Jin surname is the extension and the mother. The Yingzi family is quite chaotic.
At this time, the doctor had already revived Yingzi's mother, Ge Shi, and treated the head injury.
Yingzi helped her mother up, thanked the doctor, and said, "Doctor Li, I don't have any money now. I will give you the consultation fee when I have money."
Mr. Li shook his head and said, "Girl Ying, no need. Take good care of your mother. I'll ask the mistress to send you some more medicine later."
After saying that, Mr. Li picked up the medicine box and left.
Liu Anan took a step forward and stopped Li Langzhong, "Doctor Li, please stay."
Mr. Li and everyone took a look, oh, there is a beautiful little girl and a young man with very delicate features.
Although the clothes she wears are not silk and satin, they are still good clothes, much better than those worn by children in the village.
"This girl, what are you doing?" Li Langzhong asked in confusion.
"Doctor Li, please check this sister's injuries too. This is the medical fee, I don't know if it is enough." As he spoke, Liu Anan took out a silver ingot, which was five taels.
Everyone opened their eyes wide, who is this little girl?
So generous?
"Girl, you and I are not relatives, so we can't ask for your money." At this time, Geshi spoke.
"Aunt, my name is Liu An'an, and this is my brother Liansheng. We are here today to visit your home. My mother and my Aunt Taohua are also here. My mother and Aunt Taohua are god-sisters. Aunt, please don't be polite. , they are at the entrance of the village, I don’t know what happened here, so let’s take a look first.”
Liu Anan smiled and said to Ge Shi.
"Peach Blossom? Is the Peach Blossom Girl back?"
When Ge Shi heard this, he hurriedly straightened his clothes.
