Chapter 120 Want to worship her as a goddess
Little Nuobao saw the worry in Old Song's face, and reached out her little hand to smooth the wrinkles between his eyebrows.
But Old Song was too responsible in feeding Nuobao, and her little mouth was never idle. Now her belly was round and she even felt tired when she lifted her arms.
Little Nuobao panted heavily, and wanted to cry for help, but was afraid of being laughed at by Doctor Wu and the others.
So she had to whisper secretly: "Grandpa Song, Nuobao doesn't want to eat anymore, or her stomach will explode."
Old Song smiled again, and kindly put her in the corner of the kang to let the little girl digest the food by herself.
But Nuobao was not the only one who was greedy. The village chief and his daughter, as well as Doctor Wu, also ate so fast that they couldn't walk, so they were willing to leave the table.
After they left with their bellies in hand, Feng was about to wash some fruits to entertain Old Song and Jin Niang.
At this moment, Old Song took out a banknote and suddenly placed it on the edge of the kang.
Feng glanced at it and saw that it was a banknote of 1,000 taels. She was surprised and asked, "What are you doing?"
Old Song narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Don't rush to refuse. Consider it my advance payment to Fu Shan Tang. Now that I have finished my work, I want to stay in your village for a few more days, so that I can also accompany Nuo Bao."
Little Nuo Bao excitedly raised his legs, like a little frog, giggling and shaking.
However, Feng was still hesitant: "This... the cost of board and lodging for your room is only twelve taels per month. Unless you live there for seven or eight years in a row, it won't cost
you one thousand taels anyway." "How do you know I can't live there for that long?" Old Song smiled amiably and advised: "Take it. The extra money is a thank you for your care before. At that time, I was suffering from pulmonary emphysema. Without your help, I would have been unable to survive. This banknote is what your family deserves."
Facing the encouraging eyes of the lady, Feng had no choice but to stop refusing. She suppressed her excitement and accepted the banknote.
"Well, I won't be polite with you. Just stay in Daliu Village. If you need anything in the future, just ask us and don't be shy with us." Feng smiled warmly.
Speaking of this, actually, Old Song really had a small favor to ask the Jiang family for help.
He glanced at Jin Niang who was sitting obediently, and looked at Feng and said, "I want to stay in Dalui Village. In fact, there is another reason, that is for Jin Niang who is by my side."
The Jiang family had long noticed that this girl was not normal.
It was just because Old Song never mentioned her, so everyone was too embarrassed to ask.
Feng spoke carefully, "I wonder if this girl Jin Niang needs special attention?"
This Jin Niang kept her head down. Although her appearance was no different from that of an ordinary person, as long as someone spoke, she seemed to be frightened, her shoulders shrank sharply, and she was timid.
Old Song shook his head distressedly and first revealed Jin Niang's identity.
"Mr. Jin... was born before my brother got married. Because her mother's status was too special, she could only be an ordinary maid and stay in the mansion. But half a year ago, something happened and she was frightened and became a little mentally demented." Old Song lowered his eyes and sighed.
He actually felt a little guilty. He
felt that he had not taken good care of Jin Niang.
A year ago, there was a housekeeper on the farm outside who often came to the Duke's Mansion to report the harvest. He won Jin Niang's heart with a few nice words, but Mr. Song was not in the mansion at that time. No one in the mansion knew Jin Niang's true identity, so they allowed Jin Niang to marry on the farm.
When Mr. Song went back and sent people to look for her in the suburbs of Beijing, they found out that the man had beaten Jin Niang all day long not long after the marriage. Not only was Jin Niang beaten to a state of insanity, but she also disappeared on the way back to the Duke's Mansion.
"It's my fault. I kept her life story secret and made her suffer." Old Song grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly.
The Jiang family was heartbroken.
"This girl met a bad man and her life is too hard." As a woman, Feng sighed with empathy.
"Why did Jin Niang disappear? How did you find her?" Sun Chunxue opened her eyes wide with curiosity.
Old Song's expression eased, and he held little Nuobao in his arms: "Speaking of which, I can find Jin Niang, in fact, I have to thank Nuobao. Thanks to her reminder that day, I rushed to Changbai City and found Jin Niang and the missing 20 or 30 women in a cabin."
His tone was serious, and there was a subtle excitement in his voice.
On that day, when Old Song caught up with the pirate ship, it was only two days away from leaving for the Northern Kingdom.
Jinniang and other women were all young girls captured from the outskirts of Beijing. They were to be sold to the Northern Kingdom and sent to the nobles and ministers there.
If it weren't for Xiao Nuobao, Old Song would not have been able to save Jinniang and the others in time.
The Jiang family was stunned to hear this. In broad daylight, there were still people who dared to kidnap people and sell them to other countries.
This matter was of great importance, and Old Song was still investigating, so he did not reveal too much to the Jiang family.
Only little Nuobao was not surprised at all. She said calmly in her baby voice: "Grandpa Song, have you caught those kidnappers or boatmen and interrogated them clearly?"
Old Song was very regretful: "When we rescued people, the people who kidnapped Jinniang and her friends had already jumped into the sea and ran away. Only the boatman was left. He was a runner who earned hard-earned money and knew nothing."
Little Nuobao shook her head.
There was nothing she could do.
The matter was complicated and she could not see the whole picture for a while, so she could not help Grandpa Song.
Seeing Nuobao's two-year-old face showing a thoughtful look beyond that of an ordinary child, Old Song's hidden throbbing in his heart could not help but surge up.
He had thought long ago that if Nuobao could keep his word and help him save Jinniang, he would want to worship Nuobao as the goddess of the Southern Ji Kingdom.
In addition, the incident of offering porridge to pray for rain just happened now, which made Song Lao more certain that Xiao Nuobao's ability was greater than the sky. Maybe, she could really save the destiny of Nanji Kingdom with the position of goddess!
The more Song Lao thought about it, the more awed he became. He planned to find a suitable opportunity to discuss this matter with the Jiang family.
However, he couldn't speak rashly, so as not to scare them.
Song Lao suppressed his thoughts and talked about Jin Niang again.
"Jin Niang has suffered two serious crimes. Now she is afraid of people. I think the countryside is clean and there are few strangers coming and going. Why not let her live in Dalui Village first, maybe it will help her recovery." Song Lao said: "It's just that Fushantang is full of men, and it's inconvenient for her to live with me. I wonder if you can arrange a place for her to live, as long as it's a place where people can live." Feng
was thinking about where it would be suitable.
At this time, Xiao Nuobao's eyes sparkled and he said, "Mom, let's arrange our original house. It has been empty and it's clean inside. It's perfect for Sister Jinniang to live in."
Mrs. Feng was worried that Jinniang was timid and didn't dare to live alone: "It's good to live there, it's right in front of our house, and it's convenient for us to take care of her, but I don't know if she will be scared if she lives there by herself."
Xiao Nuobao waved his chubby hands, and said in an inexplicably firm tone: "It's okay, anyway, someone will go to accompany her in a few days."
"Who?" The Jiang family members asked curiously.
Xiao Nuobao didn't say anything, but glanced out the window with his eyes.
At this time, Aunt Li was lying on the door of the Jiang family. When she heard that the Duke was having dinner inside, she looked around with jealous eyes.
Not far away, the bad smell of this woman had condensed like a ball of black mist that could not be dissolved, and Xiao Nuobao had already noticed it.
"Her virtue has been depleted, her blessings have been used up, and bad luck has gathered so quickly. I'm afraid her family will soon be ruined and her wealth will be scattered." Xiao Nuobao thought to herself.
Fortunately, she calculated that Sister Yin'er would not be implicated this time.
When the Li family really breaks up, Li Yin'er will also need a new place to live, and it would be great for her to go there with Jinniang to keep her company.
