Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 307: Marrying the Mountain God 29

Lian Yunshen seemed to notice Gu Li's discomfort, and thought that she was not used to getting along with him. He kept a smile on his face and said, "I'll go get the silver later. It may be too late today. Tomorrow, tomorrow we'll have a good meal."

"Where did you get the money?"

Lian Yunshen looked at Gu Li again, his gentle smile was brighter than the clouds in the sky. When he looked at people like this, it made people feel warm all over, and their body and mind unconsciously relaxed.

He said, "I buried a box under the old locust tree at the west wall of Gu's house. Inside is the silver I saved for Xiao Li'er."

Lian Yunshen originally had a way to avoid marrying Gu Jixia, but he never did it because once he regretted his marriage to Gu Jixia, Fang's mother and daughter would vent all their anger on Gu Li.

Until there was a way to rescue Gu Li, he could only wait and see.

Just in case, he saved some money for Gu Li and buried it under the locust tree behind her cottage.

But before he could tell Gu Li, he was involved in the Qi Dashan dismemberment case.

Later in the cell, I didn't have time to say it out loud for various reasons.

When Gu Li came to the cell for the first time, she said she wanted to be his wife and that she believed he had not killed anyone. He was so happy that he didn't even think about the silver.

Gu Li came in a hurry the second time and left even more suddenly. He didn't even have the chance to open his mouth. He was discarded like an object.

Now I finally have the chance to speak out!

"Then let's go dig for silver tonight!"

Gu Li hadn't had a good meal for as long as she had been in this world. The only time she ate meat was barbecue without any condiments, and she ended up vomiting it all. She was exhausted and had a fever due to diarrhea.

She wanted money, she needed it badly.

At night, Gu Li changed into the black coarse cloth clothes that Lian's mother had found for her, and followed Lian Yunshen, who had also changed into dark clothes, and quietly left the village, following the path to Gu's home in Qingxi Village.

The villagers are used to being frugal in their daily lives. Unless there is something special, they turn off the lights and go to bed at night, unwilling to waste any money on lamp oil.

Walking on the winding path at night, all I can rely on is the crescent moon and the stars above my head.

"Xiao Li'er, are you afraid of the dark? Let me hold your hand and walk with you." Lian Yunshen, who was walking in front, hesitated for a long time before suggesting.

Gu Li wanted to say that she was not afraid at all. She had even seen weasels carrying chickens to visit her house many times, so how could she be afraid of the dark?

How can a person with an open mind be afraid of the dark?

However, she still put her hand into the big palm that Lian Yunshen stretched out to her.

Neither of them spoke any more. They just strolled into Qingxi Village in the night, and arrived at the door of Gu's house as if they were familiar with the place.

After passing the gate, Lian Yunshen took Gu Li and went straight to the back of the small thatched house where she used to live.

Standing under the locust tree, Lian Yunshen stammered, not knowing what he wanted to say.

Gu Li was eager to get the silver, so she quickly pulled her hand back and urged, "Brother Yunshen, dig quickly!"

His hands were empty, and Lian Yunshen clenched his palms with a sense of loss, feeling the warmth left by Gu Li. This girl hasn't changed at all, and is still as generous as ever.

Lian Yunshen bent down, found the right position, and started digging.

Gu Li also squatted beside him and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yunshen, when did you bury the things here?"

In the darkness, Gu Li couldn't see Lian Yunshen's face, but she could hear what he said clearly.

He said, "I will come here to accompany you every time I come back from my vacation. Put the silver you saved from copying books into the box."

Gu Li's heart was deeply hurt by a man named Lian Yunshen. It turned out that during those difficult years, there was someone who had silently stayed by her side.

It’s not that no one loves Gu Li, she just doesn’t know it.

"You, why didn't you let me know!"

Lian Yunshen showed a bitter smile on his face in the shadows. If she knew, she would feel even worse.

Her small shoulders could no longer bear any more.

Lian Yunshen teased in a relaxed tone, "I wanted to call you, but every time I came here, you were already asleep, sleeping like a pig, and I couldn't wake you up at all!"

Gu Li:-----

The box was dug out. Lian Yunshen brushed off the dirt on the box and handed it to Gu Li.

"These were originally the dowry I saved for you. I thought that when you were betrothed, I would tell you that you will not be looked down upon with money." But he didn't expect that Gu Li would marry him in the end.

Lian Yunshen's words were a bit sentimental, but Gu Li's attention was drawn to the silver in the box and she didn't notice it at all.

He picked up the small change in the box one by one and weighed them in his hand. They were basically about one or two taels in weight.

I was a little pleasantly surprised.

She worked like a slave in the Gu family for more than ten years, and in the end she only got two taels of silver as a living allowance, which she had taken by force through threats and inducements.

Who would have thought that someone had hidden so much silver for her just across the wall from her broken wooden bed!

Marrying Lian Yunshen was the best thing she had ever done.

"No need to shake it, it's twelve and a half taels in total!"

"Where did you get so much money?" You can't make so much money by copying books. I don't know how many pens will be broken.

Lian Yunshen didn't answer.

"Brother Yunshen? You want to be the top scholar in the imperial examination. You can't do anything that will damage your reputation just for a little money!"

Lianyunshen: -----

"Xiao Li'er, do you have such high expectations of me?" Lian Yunshen was a little embarrassed. "I'll try my best. But don't worry, Xiao Li'er. I've only written two storybooks for the bookstore. It won't be a problem."

"Ah, if this is discovered by others, then----"

"I used a pseudonym and asked my second uncle to submit the manuscript for me."

"That's good. Brother Yunshen, don't do this again in the future. You just study hard and I'll be responsible for making money to support the family!"

Gu Li stood up from the ground holding the box containing her start-up capital, "By the way, what is Brother Yun Shen's pen name?"

She also has a lot of stories to tell, and she is the one who took over this lucrative business!

"Chujiu, I use the alias Chujiu."

"The ninth day of the first lunar month? Why is it called this name?" The two of them walked back in a disjointed manner.

"There's nothing special about it, except that the day I started writing happened to be the ninth day of the first lunar month."

"Brother Yunshen is so careless in doing things?" Gu Li looked sideways with amusement at the young man who was more than a head taller than her. She had thought of many poems or important days related to the ninth day of the first lunar month.

Lian Yunshen hummed awkwardly.

Gu Li was about to say something else when she suddenly heard a familiar shouting and cursing coming intermittently from the low wall.

Gu Li stopped.

It was too familiar. She had heard such insults for so many years that it had become numb to her as a conditioned reflex.

A warm big hand rested on the back of her overexerted hand and patted it gently, "Xiao Li'er!"
