Chapter 2 Zhi Niang

A thought of sorrow cannot be cut off.

Tears kept pouring out, if it weren't for someone in the house, Sun Dan was afraid that he would cry loudly.

The light suddenly turned on, and there was a sound of light footsteps, and a rough linen cloth reached over and wiped the corner of his eye.

Then there was a faint sigh: "Sun Lang, you haven't eaten for a day, let's eat a little...... The body is important......" is a girl's voice, which sounds soft, but with unspeakable sadness.

A wooden spoon was put into Sun Dan's mouth, and a hot and slightly salty liquid poured in.

He was very hungry in his stomach, but Sun Dan had no appetite at all, he just swallowed mechanically, feeling the unique fragrance of wild vegetable porridge.

"Why can't you think about it like that, people die like lights go out. Ever since I arrived at your grandson's house, I have regarded you as the only relative in this world...... Promise me never to look for short-sightedness again. The woman's voice was small, but full of concern. As soon as she finished speaking, tears flashed in the girl's eyes.

Because her tears were dried with a sackcloth, her eyes brightened. With the help of the oil lamp in the girl's hand, in the uncertain light, Sun calmly looked at the past. This is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, although not very good-looking, but she looks unusually delicate. With fair skin, black and white eyes, and a slightly thin melon seed face, she looks like a little girl in middle school in her previous life. People can't help but want to reach out and pat her on the head.

However, Sun Dan didn't have the heart to tease this little girl now, this was not his favorite type. He likes the kind of tall, long-legged sunny beauty. Now the body that Sun Dan is possessed by is only a sixteen-year-old young man, and ancient women were generally precocious. Perhaps, in her eyes, she is just an ignorant child.

Although he is not sad to death, but being cared for so much, Sun Dan's heart is still warm. People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless. He forced a smile, "Branch...... Mother...... Don't worry, I'm not going to die again...... It's better to die than to live......"

"Sun Lang...... Zhi Niang", why is this call so awkward!

Sun Dan felt depressed in his heart.

A day earlier, when he had just crossed here, he had seen this good-looking woman alone with him. From the remnants of the original owner's memory in his brain, he learned that this woman was his fiancée who had not yet visited the church, surnamed Wan Zhiniang, one year older than himself.

In modern times, Sun Dan was born in a peasant family, because his family was poor. When he was studying, when his classmates were busy falling in love with girls, he always locked himself in his dormitory and studied hard to get a scholarship from the school to reduce the burden on his parents. Besides, the pretty and fashionable girls at the school also looked down on themselves as rustic countrymen. By the time I got to work, my parents were too old to work in the fields. More than half of his monthly salary subsidizes his family, so naturally he has no spare money to get a partner. After going back and forth, personal problems were delayed.

Now that he has traveled to the Ming Dynasty, it is also pitiful to be able to have such a beautiful wife without much effort.

However, as a modern youth, he has a strong resistance to this kind of arranged marriage without love. It is inconceivable that two people who have never known each other live together and live together forever. Of course, he has no feelings for this Zhi Niang, and the memory in his mind seems to have a strong resistance to this woman. This made Sun Dan very incomprehensible, he is a modern person, and it is not strange that he has an opinion on this kind of feudal marriage, strange people, it turns out that the owner is also very disapproving of this woman.

This thing is also very simple to say, Sun Dan's mother died early in this world. After his mother's death, his father never remarried, and the family had a small shop. Relying on the rent of this shop, the father and son can barely make a living.

But just three years ago, Sun Dan's father suddenly suffered from colic. The so-called colic sha is what later generations called appendicitis. If this disease is in modern times, it only needs to do a minor operation to cut off the inflamed appendix, and it can be cured in half a month. But in the Ming Dynasty, where science and technology were not developed, once you got this disease, it was a dead end.

After Sun Dan's father struggled in bed for three days and three nights, he finally kicked his legs, leaving Sun Dan, a thirteen-year-old child.

At the age of thirteen, he was considered an adult in the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally had to take on the obligations of the family. As long as he is not lazy, he finds something to do outside, and then relies on the rent in the store, if he wants to survive, there is no problem. In a few years, marrying a wife and having a bunch of children can be regarded as a complete life.

However, things took a turn for the worse on the day of my father's funeral.

Just when Sun Dan knelt in the mourning hall in filial piety clothes to thank the relatives and friends who came to mourn, there was the sound of blowing and blowing music outside the house, and a large group of people rushed in with a sedan chair.

The people who came were Zhiniang's father and eldest brother, and they were accompanied by matchmakers and land guards. Zhi Niang's father waved this marriage letter in his hand, saying that a day ago, Sun Dan's father asked someone to go to Zhi Niang's house to ask Sun Dan for his wife, and to marry Zhi Niang as his wife, and to use Sun's shop as a bride price, and the two sides also wrote a contract.

The so-called chongxi is actually an ancient custom here, that is, the woman's fiancé's parents are sick, and the fiancée temporarily returns to her husband's house, or marries her husband, and because of her husband's illness, a symbolic wedding is held, and the form of a happy event is used to break the ominous.

Now, although Sun Dan's father is dead, this marriage must be concluded, and the store must also be handed over.

In this way, on the day of Sun Dan's father's death, Zhiniang, who was dressed in plain clothes, was forcibly sent to Sun's house by his father and eldest brother.

Now, Sun Dan's father died suddenly, and the marriage cannot be concluded. But as a daughter-in-law who did not pass through the door, Zhiniang was left to mourn, and only waited for the three-year period to expire before the wedding was held.

This is in line with the ancient system and feudal etiquette.

So, on the night of Sun Dan's father's death, Zhiniang officially became the mistress of the Sun family. As soon as the mourning period is over, they will officially visit the church and get married.

However, this thing seems a little strange from beginning to end. Sun Dan's father was an illiterate person, and there was no signature on the marriage certificate, only a flower, and the ghost knew who got it.

However, since both the matchmaker and the local security proved the truth of this matter in unison, and Sun Dan was an honest child at that time, he didn't know how to deal with it at all, so he could only let Zhiniang's father and eldest brother take the store away like a marionette.

This matter, if it is replaced by Sun Dan, who has already been possessed, I am afraid that this conspiracy will be exposed in person.

What a life these three years have been!

After possessing this specific body, Sun Dan also inherited the memory of the original owner.

According to the Ming law, ordinary people need to keep filial piety for three years after the death of their parents. After these three years, they could not participate in the imperial examinations, could not be officials, and could not engage in production.

Originally, Sun Dan could still rely on the rent of the shop at home to eat. But after the store was seized by Zhiniang's father, he lost his source of livelihood and could only live on his father's savings and the property in the sale. In three years, he sold everything in the family, and now, only a dilapidated wooden bed remains. And the old house left by his father was also sold and turned into a crumbling and dilapidated wooden house with wind on all sides.

It stands to reason that after being bullied so much, Sun Dan also hated Zhiniang, the fiancée who came out inexplicably, and he usually didn't care much about it.

Speaking of which, Zhi Niang's background is not very good. Her father's surname was Wan, and he was originally a butcher in the east of the city. When Zhiniang's mother fled here, she married Wan Butcher and became a concubine, and died after giving birth to Zhiniang.

The concubine has no status, and the wife of the butcher is a famous Hedong lion, and she even uses Zhiniang as a rough girl.

After sending Zhiniang to Sun's house, Butcher Wan was forced by his wife's pressure, even if Sun Dan's family was poor and his daughter's life was hard, he didn't dare to come and take a look.

In the past three years, Zhi Niang has relied on needlework to support the family, and supported Sun Dan, a fiancé who is one year younger than her, with one hand.

It is said that it is not bad to have such a woman as his wife. However, this matter has a strong conspiracy flavor from beginning to end, no wonder the former Sun Dan didn't take a straight look at Zhi Niangzi.

But speaking of which, Zhi Niang is just a marionette in his father's hands, and he has suffered a lot in the Sun family in the past three years. It can be said that he has a deep affection for the former Sun Dan. But why did you get your fiancé's forgiveness?

"It's enough to break down, and now I have a fiancée who is a year older than myself, my God, I really don't know if it's my luck or misfortune!" Sun Dan smiled bitterly.

In any case, however, he refused to admit such a loveless marriage, even though the three-year mourning period had expired. Besides, I just crossed over here, and survival is a problem, and I don't have the heart to think about these problems.

The ghost knows whether the marriage letter is true or false, and he has to find a way to get to the bottom of this matter in the future. If the store can come back and don't say, it can't be bullied like this.

Seeing the concern in Zhi Niang's eyes, Sun Dan suddenly couldn't bear it. If you guessed correctly, this woman was just a victim of his father's hands, and it is estimated that the former Sun Dan also knew that he had fallen into someone else's trap. Zhiniang can't get forgiveness from her fiancé in this life, and happiness is out of the question.

Sun Dan sighed, and only comforted her and said that she would not commit suicide again.

Seeing that Sun Dan promised to live well, tears of joy flashed in Zhi Niang's eyes: "Where in the world can there be a pass that you can't pass, grit your teeth and get through." Not really...... I'm going to beg tomorrow morning...... Please, father. I hope that for the sake of the two families being relatives, he will borrow two taels of silver to pass this hurdle first......"

"Whatever you want." Sun Dan smiled reluctantly, his mood was gloomy, he didn't have the heart to talk anymore, he ate some liquid food, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
