Lian Tan was also an acquaintance of Lian Manman. Back in the day, the little monk at the temple, Xiao Tanzhi, eventually left the monastic life and became Lian Yeye's son-in-law. Speaking of this marriage, it was quite unexpected, with many twists and turns, and was quite sensational at the time. However, someone's malicious intent didn't lead to disaster, and ultimately allowed Lian Shouli's honest family to achieve a good thing.
Lian Tan, being without parents, also had no family's surname, so he simply took the surname Lian. Xiao Liuzhu, is the son of Lian Tan and Lian Yeye. This child was quite chubby when born, sturdier than most, except for his pair of eyes which resembled Lian Yeye's. His tiger-like appearance was as if he was carved from the same mold as Lian Tan.
