Chapter 209 The Female Lead Is Someone Else

Chapter 209 The Female Lead Is Someone Else

"At the beginning, you and Brother Hanniu were cutting firewood in the mountains. When you saw me running into the mountains covered in blood, you thought I was injured."

Hong fell into reminiscence.

At that time, she was stuffed under the corpse by her mother, and the blood from the corpse that was chopped up by a knife covered her.

When I think back on it now, fear still spreads throughout my body and mind.

She herself didn't know how she had the courage to run away.

"After you knew I was not injured, you and Brother Hanniu gave me steamed buns and water to drink." Hong said tearfully, "You two took me back to Heilong Village and hid me in the firewood room of Brother Hanniu's house."

When Tong Huaqiong heard the name Hanniu, she couldn't help but shudder. This was Tong Dajiao's childhood sweetheart.

He disappeared on the day Tong Dajiao got married.

Later, he left Heilong Village together with his mother and sister.

Some say that Min Handiu joined the army, while others say that he died on the battlefield. In any case, there has been no news of him for many years.

In Tong Dajiao's memory, Min Hanniu has always stayed at the scene before she got married, when Min Hanniu wanted to take Tong Dajiao away but was discovered by Tong Fusheng and other Tong family members and locked up.

From then on, Tong Dajiao no longer had any news about Min Handiu in her memory.

So Tong Huaqiong has no idea whether Min Hanniu is still in this world.

Let’s go back to the Hong family more than 20 years ago.

Hong lived in the woodshed of Min Hanniu's house for two days.

Tong Da Jiao and Min Hanniu took turns bringing her food and drinks, and Tong Da Jiao even gave her clean clothes to Hong.

Two days later, Hong left without saying goodbye, leaving a jade pendant in the woodshed of Min Hanniu's house as a thank-you gift.

Tong Huaqiong felt mixed emotions when she heard this.

She had always thought that Tong Da was sarcastic and had no sympathy for people or things.

I didn’t expect that Tong Dajiao had such a kind side when he was young, and he was so loyal to a strange girl.

Tong Huaqiong said nothing. She got up and went to the room, took out a green jade pendant from the box, and came to Hong. She handed the jade pendant to Hong and said, "Sister Hong, take a look at this jade pendant."

Tong Huaqiong found this jade pendant when she was searching for treasure in a box on the day she was brought here. She thought that the jade pendant indicated that Tong Da Jiao was a royal relic that had been lost among the people.

I also fantasized that one day I would find a relative and accidentally become a princess or county lord, thus achieving a class transition.

It’s not her fault that she thought this way. She had read a lot of time-travel novels online in her previous life, and the functions of the jade pendant were not always set up in this way.

Now the setting of this jade pendant completely shattered her fantasy.

It turns out that the heroine is someone else.

Hong took the jade pendant and said excitedly, "This is it, Sister Tong. I remember everything now."

He Chao was also extremely excited.

He didn't expect that his bond with his boss was so deep.

Thanks to the boss, his wife was able to escape that year.

Tong Huaqiong is the common benefactor of the couple.

Hong held Tong Huaqiong's hand and cried and laughed.

After calming down, he asked, "Sister Tong, how is Brother Hanniu now?"

Tong Huaqiong didn't know anything about Min Hanniu, so she shook her head and said to Hong: "He later joined the army, and there was no news of him since he left."

A gloomy look appeared on Hong's face.

Of her two saviors, only Tong Da Jiao was met.

However, being able to meet Tong Da Jiao again was beyond her expectations.

With an extremely grateful heart, Mrs. Hong stood up and bowed deeply to Tong Huaqiong, saying, "Sister Tong, I don't know how to thank you."

Tong Huaqiong saved her life twice, once when she was a child and once because of her current illness.

Tong Huaqiong held onto Mrs. Hong and said, "Sister Hong, you don't have to thank me."

Tong Huaqiong thought that perhaps it was the seeds of compassion that Tong Dajiao sowed for Hong that allowed her to live a new life.

Mrs. Hong's tears rolled down her cheeks, and she felt guilty for leaving without saying goodbye.

But there was nothing she could do under the circumstances back then.

She didn't know whether it was the rebel army or the Hong family's enemies who took advantage of the chaos to seek revenge. She was afraid that if it was the latter, Tong Da Jiao and Min Hanniu would be implicated, so she ran away in a panic.

Hong explained to Tong Huaqiong why she left without saying goodbye.

"...At the beginning, I was afraid that there would be enemies that would implicate Sister Tong and Brother Hanniu, so I left without saying goodbye. I hope Sister Tong will forgive me."

Tong Huaqiong waved her hand and said, "It's not that I'm not implicated."

Hong then handed the jade pendant in her hand back to Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Huaqiong refused and pushed it to Hong, saying, "Sister Hong, since you have shown up, the jade pendant can be considered returned to its original owner."

It was not Tong Huaqiong's generosity to return the jade pendant to its original owner.

The jade pendant was transparent and emerald green, and it was obvious that it was worth a lot of money. It was like cutting off one's own flesh for Tong Huaqiong to give it away.

But she couldn't not give it.

Because according to the rules of the time-travel novels she had read in her previous life, those who held a jade pendant as a token and had a bizarre life story were set as the male and female protagonists. She was afraid that if she did not give away the jade pendant, she would become cannon fodder for the Hong family.

Her shop was doing well, and her gang was on the right track, their lives were getting better and better, and she didn't want to become cannon fodder for the heroine.

Seeing that Tong Huaqiong insisted on giving her the jade pendant, Hong did not continue to refuse and accepted it.

"This is the only token left by my parents." Hong said with emotion.

Tong Huaqiong said, "So you should keep it as a souvenir."

He Chao stood up at this time, bowed deeply to Tong Huaqiong and said, "Boss, I am grateful for your kindness."

It seems that He Chao's underlying meaning is that he will follow Tong Huaqiong wholeheartedly.

Tong Huaqiong smiled, she knew that she had completely won over He Chao.

If Hong is the male and female protagonist in her and Ho Chiu's story, then as a supporting character who saved Hong, wouldn't she be able to take advantage of the conflict between Hong and Ho Chiu?

"I really didn't expect that there would be such a fate between Lao He, his sister-in-law and Shopkeeper Tong. It's worth a drink."

The ignored Qian boss started to seek a sense of existence.

Tong Huaqiong noticed that Boss Qian's eyes were red, which showed that he was also a passionate person.

Tong Huaqiong said, "Didn't you order some wine and food tonight? It's just right for a drink."

After thinking for a while, he said to Hong and He Chao, "You settled in Qinghewan by fate. I think it must be Sister Hong's parents who guided you here. The most important thing now is to bury Sister Hong's parents and brother properly."

Mrs. Hong nodded and tears started flowing again.

She and He Chao were so excited that they forgot the most important thing.

However, her parents and brother lived under that crooked tree for more than 20 years, and I wonder if their bodies are still there.

Tong Huaqiong seemed to have seen through Hong's thoughts and said, "No one has ever turned over this wasteland."

Hong wanted to take a hoe and dig the ground immediately, but was stopped by He Chao.

Tong Huaqiong knew what Hong was thinking. At this moment, Hong hoped very much that her parents could be buried in peace and enjoy incense and offerings. So she gently told Hong to wait for Gu Dahan to come back later, and let Gu Dahan take the workers she had just hired from the village to go digging together.

As for whether they are willing or not.

I'm sure I'd be willing to spend a little more money.

Hong thanked him again with tears in her eyes.
