Shen sat down heavily on the ground and began to wail loudly.
Chen also started crying.
Looking back, Old Lady Shen had already fainted.
Because of the hard labor, some people would be worked to death, and others would be beaten to death.
It's still uncertain whether Song Lao Da and Song Lao Er will be able to come back safely.
Song Ruier stood amidst the weeping, his brows furrowed. He couldn't understand why the Qiao family members were all so clever, knowing how to do things and how to act, while the Song family was so stupid.
Deceiving soldiers is inherently risky, yet Song Lao Da and Song Lao Er risked everything for a mere tael or two of silver. Are they out of their minds?
He suddenly felt a sense of helplessness and wanted to cry but had no tears.
I couldn't help but look up at the sky.
No one sympathized with the Song family. Everyone took the money and happily went home for lunch.
Thinking back, I was able to receive this money because of the Qiao family's organization. They genuinely offered to help for free, and unexpectedly, their efforts yielded unexpected results.
It also brought honor to the village.
Everyone couldn't help but chat with the Qiao family for a while longer, creating a lively atmosphere.
Zhao Lizheng then led a group of people to erect a monument at the village entrance.
Everyone had left, leaving only the Song family members wailing in the dam square.
Fearing that Chen would take her anger out on him, Song Ruier also hurried to the school.
Watching the Qiao family members leave, a glimmer of longing rose in his eyes.
He also wanted to have a family like the Qiao family, but who told him to have the surname Song, who told him to be the son of Song Laosan?
It's alright. Once he passes the imperial examination, the Song family will be honored.
If his father, Song Laosan, were still alive, he wouldn't have abandoned this family.
Perhaps, it's time to come back at the right time.
Stepping through the door, Qiao Yunni was still shaken.
She was glad that she had left the Song family with her daughter and returned to her parents' home. Otherwise, it would be her and her daughter crying in the square right now. She might even have been forced to pound rice if she had pleaded for them.
Just thinking about that situation made her shudder and she couldn't help but squeeze her daughter's hand tightly.
Qiao Lian'er knew what Qiao Yunni was thinking. Yes, the Song family had caused such a scene today, resulting in a prison sentence and the loss of two able-bodied men. This was a disaster for the family.
However, this is something they brought upon themselves.
Fortunately, the mother and daughter are no longer with the Song family.
She rubbed her face against her mother's arm.
In an instant, Qiao Yunni's heart melted.
Midway through the meal, they heard someone outside asking, "Is this the Qiao family's residence?"
"Yes, this is the Qiao family home; the whole family is here," a villager said.
The men of the Qiao family exchanged glances, put down their bowls and chopsticks, and got up to leave the kitchen.
It was Boss Yang's voice; he must be looking for them to help with the escort business.
