He suddenly remembered something: "Dad, weren't you locked up? How come—"
Of course he knew that Song Laosan had escaped, and he wanted to know how he had escaped.
A smug look appeared on Song Laosan's face as he recounted his escape.
"Father was able to rise to the rank of captain without relying on military achievements, so this little thing is too difficult for me?"
Song Ruier understood the situation even more clearly. Indeed, Song Laosan was not bad-minded and might really rise to power again in the future.
"Study hard and strive to become a student of the first level of the imperial examination as soon as possible, and then take the exams to become a scholar, a provincial graduate, and a metropolitan graduate. The Qiao family is climbing higher, and we should also climb higher."
"Father, I will do everything in my power to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar. I believe that with my intelligence, there will be no problem," Song Ruier assured him.
The students in the village school were all idiots. When he first went in, he was last in his class and didn't know a single word.
Now, thanks to his diligent study day and night, he has been ranked in the middle to upper range.
Once no one in the village school can rival him, he will ask to go to school in town. Now the Song family can only rely on him, and Old Mrs. Song will surely agree.
"Good, very good. I will go out and find a better place to live. When I get back on my feet, I believe you will have achieved something in your studies and career. Then, we, father and son, will reunite."
Song Laosan narrowed his eyes: "The Qiao family, and the Guan family, I will not let them go. I will put them in a frying pan and slowly fry them, or I will have them slowly sliced to death."
"Father, what about Guan Xue and Guan Song?"
"Kill them all without hesitation." Old Man Song uttered words that chilled Song Ruier to the bone.
“They are my children. They were so happy to be by my side, but now their mother and grandfather have distanced themselves from me. I will make them pay the price for being such ungrateful wretches.”
Song Ruier swallowed hard, a hint of fear in her eyes. "As expected of Song Laosan, so ruthless, so incredibly ruthless."
He only recognized Guan Xue and Guan Song before, and treated him like trash. But in the blink of an eye, he turned against them and was willing to take the lives of the brother and sister.
Such a person is ruthless, fickle, and only acts out of self-interest.
He shouldn't have any familial feelings; all he was hoping for was that Song Laosan might be able to play a role in the future.
Song Laosan dared not linger for too long. After giving his instructions, he hurriedly left through the window.
Song Ruier, however, was not sleepy. She sat on the bed, hugging her knees and remaining silent.
When he raised his face, something was changing on his face, complex yet resolute.
The night was vast and endless, with dark clouds drifting across the sky, obscuring the moonlight. The moonlight was thin, and the entire Datian Village seemed to be resting in a dream.
Suddenly, Da Shun in the yard barked, and he barked urgently. Da Hong also kicked its hooves anxiously.
Qiao Lian'er, a light sleeper, was the first to be awakened. When she came out of the room, she saw Da Shun barking at the road above, his fur standing on end and his eyes flashing a greenish light.
"Da Shun, what's wrong? Isn't it normal for someone to pass by?" Qiao Lian'er asked, puzzled.
Seeing Da Hong's state, as if she wanted to run away, she was even more puzzled.
Even if there are thieves or something, they're still on their way, so we can't definitively accuse them of a crime; we can only say to be more vigilant.
"Alright, alright, I'll keep an eye on things. Nobody dares to come here," Qiao Lian'er said, patting Da Shun's head.
Inside the house, a group of formidable members of the Qiao family were sleeping.
But Da Shun kept calling out, pacing back and forth, looking very anxious.
Suddenly it made a decision, biting Qiao Lian'er's trouser leg and trying to pull her out the door.
