Enjoying the flattery and fawning from those around him, Old Tang started cursing Song Yinhua again, saying she was a jinx who brought death to her grandparents at birth.
They even mocked Song Caixing for getting pregnant out of wedlock and hiding in the county town to have an abortion.
He boasted about his granddaughter's chastity and good fortune, but never mentioned that his granddaughter and Han Zhiyuan were caught red-handed, and that his granddaughter had been raped by seven or eight thugs until she suffered severe bleeding and had to be hospitalized.
The other members of the Tang family also joined in speaking ill of Song Yinhua, mocking Song Caixing as a slut, and cursing Song Erzhuang and Qiao Guilan for being incompetent and unable to even manage their daughter.
Song Hanwen leaned close to his younger brother and whispered, "Xuewen, look, all the relatives are on our side. If Yinhua wants to report it to the authorities, let her. I'll handle it."
Song Xuewen only hesitated for a short while before he came to terms with it after the meal.
Grandpa and my eldest brother are right. Song Yinhua only found the jade pendant after they dropped it into the cave, so it should belong to them.
If she hadn't secretly switched the jade pendant, would so many things have happened later?
It's all because she's too calculating and greedy; it's all her fault.
His family is not wrong.
His maternal grandfather was also right.
His family and his maternal grandfather's family were all very kind. Song Yinhua caused Qiuxue to be unable to have children and caused Dafei to go to jail, but they did not hold it against her. They were already very kind and generous.
Thinking this way, Song Xuewen felt much better.

As soon as Song Erzhuang got home, he forgot what he had been doing.
"Dad, don't you remember where you just went?" Song Yinhua asked.
Song Erzhuang slowly moved his head and asked in a slow voice, "Where did I go just now?"
"You just went to your big..." Qiao Guilan was interrupted by Song Yinhua halfway through her sentence: "You just went to the toilet."
"Oh." Song Erzhuang nodded slowly.
Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying came from inside the house.
"Grandpa's eldest grandson, Grandpa's here." Song Erzhuang said slowly as he entered the house. "Eldest grandson, look at Grandpa, do you like Grandpa?"
Song Erzhuang had even forgotten what his grandson looked like.
The girl holding Song Caixing teased and coaxed her.
"Is Dad's memory really that bad now?" Song Yinhua asked.
Qiao Guilan nodded. "Yinhua, could your father develop Alzheimer's disease?"
Song Yinhua comforted her mother, "Don't scare yourself. Dad probably injured his head, which is why his memory is temporarily impaired. He'll get better gradually."
Song Yinhua took her child back to her parents' home because Li Wenxiu was breastfeeding and she wanted Caixing's daughter to drink her milk.
But seeing the situation at home, she gave up the idea.

Time flies like an arrow.
Autumn is here again, the busy farming season.
Every household is working in the fields.
During the day, Song Yinhua carried her child on her back while working at the wonton shop, and in the morning and evening, she harvested rice in the fields.
She took her madwoman and daughter with her wherever she went, and had the black wolfhound guard them.
A woman lives with her mentally ill mother-in-law and the girl she took in. She runs a wonton shop, which is doing incredibly well. She also doesn't neglect her work in the fields. Her rice grows better than anyone else's, which has long aroused the envy of some villagers.
Everyone thought that since there was no man in the house, she was easy to bully.
At night, people with ulterior motives often come to harass us, and some even smash the windows with their heads in the middle of the night. But as soon as there is any disturbance outside, the black wolfhound will rush out and has already bitten several people.
This frightened those with wicked intentions so much that they dared not go too far.
Huo Jinfeng stood near her new house at the foot of the mountain, looking at the golden rice, the heavy ears of rice bending the stalks.
"These rice plants are so beautiful!" Huo Jinfeng exclaimed.
She just took a walk around Songzhuang Village and found that the rice in the whole village is growing well this year, and every household has had a bumper harvest.
The rice in Song Yinhua's field grew even better.
Huo Jinfeng was extremely envious. She turned around and went home. When she passed the gate of the courtyard, she saw the madwoman lying on the mat, drawing something with a pen. A baby a few months old was crawling around beside her, and a fierce black wolfhound was guarding her side.
"Crazy mother!" Huo Jinfeng shouted.
"Crazy woman!!"
Seeing that her mentally ill mother didn't respond, she called out again, "Sister-in-law!"
The baby crawling around on the mat turned her head to look at the door and crawled towards it, babbling as she went, but was blocked by the black wolfhound, who wouldn't let her crawl out.
"Sister-in-law, it's my Jin..."
The black wolfhound suddenly charged forward, barking at Huo Jinfeng: "Woof woof woof!"
When Huo Jinfeng saw the large black wolfhound charging towards her, her legs went weak with fear. She tried to run away, but her left leg tripped over her right, causing her to fall heavily. She got up and hurriedly ran away.
Song Yinhua, who was working in the field, heard the barking of the black wolfhound and knew that someone had come and gone.
It gradually got dark.
Song Yinhua cut rice in the dark in the field and didn't put away her sickle until almost midnight before going home.
After lighting the kerosene lamp, she went into the room and glanced at her mentally ill mother and daughter sleeping on the bed...
Where is Little Flower?
Song Yinhua discovered that only her mad mother was on the bed.
"Little Black, where's Little Flower?"
The black wolfhound was wagging its tail, as if it understood Song Yinhua's words, and turned its head to look at the bed, tilting its head as well.
It stood guard at the door the whole time, and no one came in to take the little owner away.
The black wolfhound circled the bed twice, sniffing here and there, and finally barked into the bed while digging at two sunflower seeds.
"Shh!" Song Yinhua gestured to Black Wolf not to wake the Madwoman.
She went over and saw a baby, a few months old, sleeping soundly in a mosquito net nestled in a crevice against the wall next to the bed.
Song Yinhua breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, there was a mosquito net on the bed.
Because she was too busy, summer had long passed, and she hadn't had time to take down and put away the mosquito net on her bed.
Song Yinhua carried the child up and put him down, then went into her space to wash up. She picked a fruit from the tree and sat down under it to eat it.
The space was also filled with golden rice paddies.
Harvested rice grains lay on the large drying platform, drying in the sun.
The night grew deeper.
The whole village was quiet.
The new houses at the foot of the mountain were shrouded in darkness.
Several figures were lurking suspiciously around the new house, carrying sickles and pushing carts.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Huo Jinfeng's voice rang out. "You guys bundle up the rice that's already been cut, put it on the cart, and push it back. Fifth Sister and I will continue cutting. It'll be dawn in three or four hours, and we have to get all the rice back before daybreak."
The black wolfhound bared its teeth and barked towards the rice paddies: "Woof!"
"Daguang, quickly put the medicine inside the meat and feed it to the black dog, so it won't bark."
"Mom, let's go back. If my cousin's wife finds out, it'll sound terrible."
"Just feed them!" Huo Jinfeng urged. "If you're not going to feed them, let Tianba do it. You can do the work."
"My stomach hurts. I caught a cold a couple of days ago and I can't do any work."
“You always seem uncomfortable whenever it’s time to work,” Huo Jinfeng scolded Xie Daguang. “Go feed the dog, and stop it from barking.”
There were seven or eight people working in the field.
Xie Daguang went outside the courtyard and threw the meat laced with poison into the yard. Suddenly, a black figure darted out and tackled him.
