A flood destroyed Lianxiang's home. Lianxiang's mother died in the flood, leaving only her father Li Shuan, Lianxiang, and her eight-year-old brother Lianshi.
The flood washed everything in Lianxiang's home clean. Not to mention filling their stomachs, even surviving was a problem.
In order to continue living, Li Shuan took Lianxiang and Lianshi to seek refuge with Lianxiang's mother's younger brother, the so-called uncle, far away in the north.
Lianxiang, her father, and her brother experienced many things before arriving at her uncle's home. What Lianxiang didn't expect was that the uncle they sought refuge with was not a great benefactor who could save them from the fire and water, but an evil person who wanted to trample on them.
After hearing the news of Lianxiang's mother's death, the expression on her uncle's face instantly turned ugly. After they lived in her uncle's home for three days, her uncle directly said that he didn't have any extra money at home and wanted to send them away.
In order to seek refuge with her uncle, Li Shuan had already spent all his money. If her uncle drove them out, even if Li Shuan could survive, Lianshi and Lianxiang wouldn't be able to survive.
Just when Li Shuan was extremely worried, his uncle pointed out a way for Li Shuan, saying that his wife's younger brother's son had recently asked someone to act as a matchmaker. If Li Shuan agreed, he would introduce Lianxiang to him.
Hearing that his uncle wanted to introduce Lianxiang to his wife's younger brother's son, Li Shuan hesitated for a moment.
First, Lianxiang was still young, only fifteen years old now. Second, he had just arrived here and was unfamiliar with the place. If the son of his uncle's wife's younger brother was good, then it would be fine. But if he was unscrupulous, then wouldn't it be a disaster for Lianxiang for the rest of her life?
Although Li Shuan also valued boys over girls and wanted Lianshi to live, he didn't want Lianxiang to marry someone he didn't even know the details of.
When Uncle saw that Li Shuan was unwilling to agree, he originally wanted to directly drive him out. However, when he thought of the large sum of money that Li Shuan had given him, he suppressed the anger in his chest and let his wife go and persuade him.
His uncle's wife was smarter than him. Instead of going to Li Shuan, she found another way to find Lianxiang.
She first told Lianxiang about Li Shuan's current situation, and then expressed that as long as Lianxiang was willing to marry her nephew, her family was willing to give Li Shuan a sum of money to do business.
Lianxiang was a filial girl. When she heard how wealthy the other party's family was, she was not moved. Instead, she was moved when she heard that the other party was willing to give her father a piece of silver to let him do business.
After her mother died, it was Li Shuan who brought her here. If it wasn't for Li Shuan, she would have died countless times. Since she only needed to sacrifice herself to save her father and brother, why would she hesitate?
The next day, Lianxiang agreed to her aunt's request and informed Li Shuan in advance.
Regarding Lianxiang's performance, Li Shuan felt extremely sour in his heart. After all, he had let Lianxiang down.
The other party was indeed as her aunt had said. After Lianxiang agreed, she directly gave Li Shuan three taels of silver and asked him to do business.
After obtaining the three taels of silver, Li Shuan left his uncle's house with Lianshi and prepared to look for a small business.
Seeing that Li Shuan had left, her aunt immediately presided over Lianxiang's marriage.
The man Lianxiang was going to marry was indeed from a wealthy family, but the other party was not stingy. It was common for him to go to brothels, even on the wedding night.
His parents naturally indulged their son's bad habit, but they never thought that such a visit to a brothel would cause their son to lose his life.
When the man was competing with someone for the title of Courtesan Belle, he encountered a tough opponent. He was beaten to death on the spot, and the other party fled under the cover of the night.
When her aunt's younger brother's family learned of this matter, they instantly cried their eyes out.
They only had one precious son, and now that their son was dead, there was no one left in their family.
However, it was obvious that their son had encountered an unexpected disaster because of their education, but they did not reflect on it at all. Instead, they pushed all the blame onto Lenovo, saying that if it weren't for Lenovo, the jinx, marrying into their family, their son wouldn't have died.
When encountering a problem, instead of looking for the reason from themselves, they pushed the blame onto an innocent person.
When Lianxiang married into their family, she was directly kicked out without seeing her husband.
Lianxiang thus became a widow, but fortunately, although the family kicked Lianxiang out, they did not ask for the money back from Li Shuan's hands.
Lianxiang was then taken back by Li Shuan.
Li Shuan had the skill of making tofu in his hometown, so he naturally began to make tofu now.
If Lianxiang just followed Li Shuan to buy tofu, her life would actually be good.
Unfortunately, her aunt's younger brother could not stand the fact that their son was dead while Lianxiang, the jinx, was still alive and well, so he directly bribed someone to rape Lianxiang.
By the time Li Shuan found out, Lianxiang's body was already cold.
Li Shuan and Lianshi cried their hearts out, but they still couldn't save Lianxiang's life.
When Lianxiang was alive, she was a good, well-behaved, and filial girl. She was willing to devote her life to her father and younger brother. After her death, she was most worried about her father and younger brother.
If she could do it all over again, Lianxiang wanted her father and younger brother to never come to her uncle's house. Even if she didn't marry for the rest of her life, it would be much better than encountering such a terrible person and situation.
When Jiujiu opened her eyes, she happened to hear the woman sitting opposite her say in a condescending tone, "Xiang 'er, how old are you this year?" Jiujiu blinked and only then did she realize that now should be the time when her aunt came over to talk to Lianxiang about her marriage partner.
At first, Lianxiang thought that her aunt was thinking for her, so she honestly said how old she was this year. Then, after her aunt praised Lianxiang's appearance, she said that her family was poor and could no longer support Lianxiang's family. Then, she lured out that her younger brother's son was young and talented and still had some money at home. He said that he had taken a fancy to Lianxiang and asked Lianxiang if she was willing to marry her younger brother's son.
Naturally, her aunt's original words were not as light as Jiujiu's. Her aunt threatened to drive Lianxiang's family out if Lianxiang didn't agree, scaring Lianxiang so much that she almost agreed.
After thinking about this, Jiujiu looked up and heard her aunt saying to her in a sincere tone, "Aunt has something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."
Hearing her aunt's pretentious words, Jiujiu imitated Lianxiang and lowered her eyes, saying, "Since you don't know if you should say it, then you don't have to say it."
As soon as Jiujiu said this, the words in her aunt's mouth were instantly stuck in her mouth. She couldn't spit them out or swallow them. Her aunt's face instantly darkened.
