Seeing this, Lin Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She said this on purpose just now to prevent them from asking Shi Yan to borrow this and that again in the future.
Just put all the blame on Song Yao.
Anyway, Song Yao will return to Beijing sooner or later, so they can't find her even if they want to.
Seeing that no one dared to say anything, Lin Ran changed the subject at the right time.
"Oh, by the way, all the uncles and aunts are here, and I have something to say.
Shi Zhiqing's two younger sisters came all the way from Beijing to visit him.
But you also know the situation at the educated youth camp, and it would be difficult for these two girls to live there.
So I was thinking about which place would be good for overnight stay and would be willing to let people stay there for two days.
Just one room will do.
This is Song Yao, she can live in my house.
Comrade Song Yunlu just hasn't found a place to stay yet."
As she spoke, she pointed at Song Yunlu to make it easier for everyone to distinguish between the two.
When the team members saw that Song Yunlu was the one who had just called them bandits, they immediately shook their heads like rattles.
"My house is small, but there's no extra room for people to live in."
"I could spare a room in my house, but we know our place is very valuable. They wouldn't want to buy our shabby bandit house. So I won't bother with that."
"That's right, she already despises us, so why would she be willing to live in our house? Isn't she afraid that we, a bunch of bandits, will kidnap her and sell her off?"
“…”
They are not stupid. They have been scolded by others. How could they be willing to take in the people who scolded them?
Not kicking her out was already giving face to Shi Zhiqing.
Everyone was talking at once, making Song Yunlu look very excited.
She clenched her palms and wanted to be tough and tell this group of people loudly that she didn't want to live in their shabby house!
But as soon as she thought that if no one here was willing to let her stay overnight, she would have to move to the county town.
And the county town is too far away from here.
Even if she went out early and came back late every day to see Shi Yan, she probably wouldn't stay for more than an hour.
Then wouldn’t her trip be in vain?
So after weighing the pros and cons, Song Yunlu had no choice but to grit her teeth and endure the humiliation and bow to this group of country people.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I was just anxious to protect my brother and said something wrong. Please don't be angry."
"No, no, we country bumpkins can't afford your apology."
It was obvious that no one was buying her trick.
These words made Song Yunlu feel completely embarrassed.
She looked at Shi Yan for help somewhat helplessly.
But Shi Yan didn't even look at her.
This made Song Yunlu very discouraged, and she had no choice but to shout out.
"Brother Yan, what should I do? Please help me with something."
Shi Yan then turned his head and glanced at her lightly, his thin lips slightly opened, giving her only two choices.
"Either go to the county town or return to Beijing, it's your choice."
After saying that, he turned his head and ignored Song Yunlu.
Seeing this, Song Yunlu bit her lip, feeling a rare surge of grievance.
Didn’t I come here to find him?
He doesn't even take care of himself.
Even though I know that Shi Yan has always treated me like this, I shouldn't be sad about it.
But after seeing his attitude towards Lin Ran, she could no longer deceive herself.
Before the Song family fell, when had she ever suffered such injustice?
So at this moment she really wanted to turn around and leave.
But when she thought about what happened in her previous life, Song Yunlu couldn't help but bite her lips harder, and she didn't even notice the blood oozing from her lips.
No, she couldn't give up so easily.
Compared to the tragic death in the previous life, this little grievance now is nothing!
She composed herself and licked the blood off her lips before looking at everyone again.
She took a deep breath and bowed deeply to everyone.
"I just made a slip of the tongue, and I apologize to everyone here. I also ask that you forgive me for my young age and innocence.
I’m sorry, I was wrong!”
Song Yunlu's sudden formal action confused everyone.
For a moment, everyone felt a little embarrassed.
You are already a grown-up, yet you are getting angry with a child.
It was just that they had just said something harsh, so they were too embarrassed to forgive Song Yunlu.
But Song Yunlu didn't care about their forgiveness at all. After she bowed, she saw that although everyone's attitude had softened a little, no one was willing to let her stay overnight. She could only continue:
“I know that my wish to stay here might be a bit of a bother to everyone, but I finally made it here once, and I really want to stay with my brother for a few more days. Besides, it’s not safe for a little girl like me to live alone in the county town.
Please help me out since I have come all the way from Beijing.
How about I pay for the room?"
Originally, everyone had been persuaded, but when they heard the last sentence about paying the room fee, they immediately rushed to nod in agreement.
"Oh, you're right to worry. If such a beautiful girl like you lives alone in the county town, Shi Zhiqing and the others will definitely not be at ease.
We are simple and honest people in the country, so you can feel at ease living here.
I think you should just stay at my house. You can live in the same room with my daughter, and maybe you two girls can even get along well."
As soon as the words fell, someone else spoke over there.
"Comrade Song, don't listen to that guy's nonsense. You don't know how shabby his house is. It's basically covered in dust on sunny days and leaks on rainy days. You definitely can't live here. You might as well live in my house.
My house was renovated two years ago, I guarantee you'll live comfortably!"
