Chapter 9: Control

This is about the second son of the Song family. Although Xiao Gu and Mrs. Gu are nieces from the next room in her mother's family, as a daughter-in-law, she is still an outsider and cannot compare to a biological son at all.

Mrs. Gu is also very angry now, and she will get into trouble if she is not careful.

Little Gu has always been the most scheming and never takes the lead in anything.

Seeing Mrs. Gu lowering her head to pick up the broken salt shaker, she looked like she was gritting her teeth. Little Mrs. Gu blinked and leaned over to whisper, "Mother, the head of the family has been blinded by money and said he wants to kill another chicken for the little bitch to eat.

Xiaobao has been studying hard, and we rely on a few eggs at home to feed him. If we kill them every day, our family won't be able to support him!"

Mrs. Gu was already worried about her chickens, and now she was so angry that she had no place to vent. When she heard that they were going to kill the chickens, she felt like they were asking for her life. She immediately got furious: "How dare she? I didn't bother with that little bitch, but she's still taking advantage of me."

Just now she was about to fight to the death with Song Liyun, but Song Lao Er turned hostile and stopped her, and then started to lecture her again.

Although the hatred in her heart had not diminished at all, she had to listen to her son and could only endure it.

As long as Song Liyun can really get the money back from the Xue family in the future, I will act like an elder and not bother with that little bitch.

But when she heard Xiao Gu say that she wanted to kill another chicken, she could no longer bear it and jumped up to fight for the upper room.

"Mom, mom, please don't make a scene. Be careful that bitch will make the second son turn against us again."

When Xiao Gu saw that Mrs. Gu was about to make a scene, she quickly grabbed her and tried to comfort her.

Her words were not just words of persuasion, but simply adding fuel to the fire. Mrs. Gu became even angrier: "If the second son dares to kill a chicken again, I will fight him to the death."

Little Gu dragged her heavy buttocks to her feet, pulled Mrs. Gu to the corner of the room and whispered, "Mother, look at that little bitch who has been so obedient all these years, all for the sake of the unlucky star to have something to eat and drink.

The second child has always been kind-hearted. He wanted to raise a jinx in the past, which caused me to lose my luck in having a baby.

Now, not only are we not allowed to touch that bitch, but we have to flatter and coax her and choose a good husband for her.

You quarreled with the second brother, causing discord between mother and daughter, which just suited the little bitch's wishes.

I suggest we bring the cripple and the others back and give them a good beating, so that the bitch can see who has the final say in this family, and see if she dares to disobey again in the future.

When she realizes that she is afraid, even if she marries into the Xue family, she will never be able to escape from her mother's control."

When talking about the bad luck of the fetus, Mrs. Gu felt so angry that her teeth itched. Now she only has Xiaobao, the only child, and it is all caused by that unlucky star.

But when Little Gu reminded her, the furious Mrs. Gu's eyes lit up: "The little bitch has been so obedient all these years, isn't it just for those two unlucky people at home? How could I have forgotten this?"

It was all the second brother's fault for bringing a few more steamed buns for those two little beasts, asking them to stay in the mountains to collect more firewood for a few days and not have to go home, which made him lose the leverage he had over them.

After figuring this out, Mrs. Gu hurried out: "Second son's wife, please watch the door and don't let the second son know. I'll ask someone to find out which mountain the lame man is on."

Little Gu responded repeatedly: "I know, mother, you have to hurry up."

If I bring the person back earlier, I can deal with him in front of the little bitch and see how Song Lao Er can protect him.

In the main room, the pot of chicken, including the soup, was gone. Song Liyun finally pulled up her handkerchief and wiped her mouth with a look of unsatisfied satisfaction. She said casually, "Second Uncle, I'm going out in two days. I haven't seen my eldest brother and the others yet. You should ask them to come back! Then the three of us brothers and sisters can get together."

Song Lao Er was a little drunk, leaning against the kang, squinting his eyes and mumbling, "It's already autumn, and winter comes quickly in the countryside. Zhenping and the others are collecting firewood and don't have time to come back.

Don't worry, the two brothers are doing well. You will see them when you return home from Xue's house.

If you're bored at home these days, I'll let Shuirong come back to stay with you for a couple of days so you two sisters can have a chat."

Song Liyun tightened her fingers around the handkerchief, and after a moment she smiled and said, "Since big brother is busy, it doesn't matter if we meet sooner or later, so let sister Shuirong come back to accompany me.

The Song family only has two sisters, and after I have established myself in the Xue family, I can find a good family for my younger sister."

Although she said as if nothing had happened, Song Liyun had already cursed Song Lao Er in her heart: They are truly worthy of being mother and son. Song Defu looks silly on the outside, but in fact, he is as vicious as Mrs. Gu.

The harsh treatment of the two brothers by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was all condoned and instigated by Song Lao Er.

Now she is deliberately separating the Song Zhenping brothers from herself. If she doesn't marry into the Xue family, she won't be able to see anyone. This is also a disguised way of controlling her.

The Dawu Dynasty had extremely strict control over population mobility. Traveling and staying in hotels required a travel permit and household registration book. Houses in the city could not be bought casually; the village head and local guarantor's help were required. This also eliminated the possibility for her to run away with her two brothers.

Remembering what Dali's wife whispered to her in the morning, Song Liyun calmed down: if she wanted her freedom, she had to rescue the two brothers and stay away from Xiaoshi Village.

When it comes to judging, Song Lao Er actually didn't think that much.

It was not a very glorious thing to tell others about selling his niece. He often hung out in town and his son was in school, so he still wanted to maintain some face.

Song Zhenping is stubborn. If he knew that Song Liyun was going to the Xue family, he would definitely try his best to stop her.

Thinking of the cripple's stubbornness and his refusal to admit his mistakes even after being beaten until his head was bleeding and he fainted from hunger several times, even Song Lao Er didn't want to provoke him and avoided him whenever possible.

We can only get rid of him in advance, and wait until Song Liyun enters the Xue family before she realizes that it is useless for him to make a fuss.

Even if Song Liyun volunteered to go to the Xue family now, Song Lao Er would not dare to take the risk of causing trouble, but he could call his daughter back.

He was worried that when the Xue family came to kidnap someone, something ugly would happen, which would be embarrassing for a girl to see, so he sent Song Shuirong back to her maternal grandparents' home.

It's true that he loves his daughter, and it's also true that he wants to use his daughter to marry into a rich family.

As soon as the meal was over, Song Lao Er didn't care that Gu Pozi and his daughter-in-law had black faces, and went out to sit around.

But when he left, he deliberately locked the gate from the outside, leaving the three women staring at each other in the house.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit weird. Song Liyun sat on the edge of the kang, tilted her head to look at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and grinned again.

Mrs. Gu and Little Mrs. Gu huddled in the corner of the room as if they had seen something horrible, and shuddered at the sight of that smile.

Mrs. Gu mustered up the courage to glare at him: "Bitch, you, what are you laughing at? Don't think you can fool people just because you have a few dollars. My son will be back soon, and I will tell him that you broke our wrists."

Song Liyun said slowly, "Go ahead and tell me! No one's stopping me. If Song Defu doesn't believe me, what can I do? Oh! By the way, Second Uncle said he'll kill a chicken tonight. I'll have to ask my aunt to pick the fattest one."

Look at the empty bowl on the table with not much soup left. There was a five-pound chicken in it, but I didn’t get a single bite of meat.

Mrs. Gu's legs went limp, and she slid to the ground again. She clapped her hands and howled, "Oh my God, I can't live like this!"
