Wang Lanzhi is the kind of person who won't get up early for nothing.
She thought that after what happened last time, the two families would never speak to each other again, but she never expected that they would actually show up at her door today.
Upon seeing Song Ning emerge, Wang Lanzhi quickly stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Er Ya, I heard you've been making money in business lately?"
Song Ning rolled her eyes: "No comment."
Wang Lanzhi wasn't annoyed and continued to ask shamelessly, "Er Ya, you see, Da Lin is your uncle, so we're practically family. When it comes to doing business, shouldn't we prioritize our own family?"
Zhang said the same thing last time, but Song Erhai is her uncle after all, so there's nothing wrong with Zhang saying that. But where does Wang Lanzhi get the nerve?
"Who's family with you? Have you no shame?" Song Ning said bluntly, and Wang Lanzhi's expression changed abruptly.
Even Song Dalin immediately pulled Wang Lanzhi aside, looking at Song Ning with some displeasure: "Er Ya, how dare you talk like that?"
“That’s how I speak. Didn’t you want to distance yourself from my father before? Now you’re coming to my door, what is this if not shamelessness? Besides, I only called you Uncle Dalin because of my father. You ingrate, now you’re shamelessly coming to my door asking for money? I’ve disliked you for a long time!”
Even if Song Dalin didn't mean it that way, they are now a couple, so Wang Lanzhi's meaning is his meaning.
Song Ning had really had enough of this group of relatives from the Song family. After Li Guixiang caused trouble for Zhang Shi, Zhang Shi finally calmed down, but then Chen Shi came to provoke them. They had just gotten rid of Chen Shi, and now a distant relative of the Song family was having wicked thoughts.
Does she really look like someone who's easy to bully?
Song Dalin, a grown man, felt utterly humiliated when Song Ning, a young girl, pointed her finger at him and berated him. He stammered and couldn't utter a single word. Wang Lanzhi was also furious and gritted her teeth.
Song Dahai stepped forward and said, "Go back, and don't come again."
After Song Dahai spoke, it was clear that the two of them wouldn't get anything out of staying any longer, so Song Dalin pulled Wang Lanzhi home.
Zhu Shun, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.
He said that Er Ya was able to help the family earn money at such a young age, and even her older brother and sister-in-law listened to her. How could she be just a little girl who didn't know anything?
To be honest, he didn't even have the guts to do what he just said.
As soon as the person left, Song Ning looked at Song Dahai: "Dad, you're not angry about what I said just now, are you?"
Song Dahai smiled and patted her head: "Why would your father be angry? You're right, it's better to never have anything to do with that kind of person again."
Song Ning won't go looking for trouble, but that doesn't mean she'll let others bully her.
I heard that the Wang family is arranging a marriage for Wang Cuicui recently. Wang Lanzhi thought that this would make her forget what happened last time.
Song Ning may not have a good memory for other things, but she's incredibly good at holding grudges. The aunt and niece are alike.
After a busy afternoon, Li Daniu's family was also busy until almost sunset. When Liu Yuelan and Song Xiue returned, Song Ning had already prepared dinner.
Today I stewed the meat I bought yesterday into braised pork, steamed a pot of rice, and also made a cold side dish.
A large bowl of rice was placed in front of each person, and the broth from the braised pork was poured over it. The aroma of the rice combined with the aroma of the braised pork was absolutely delicious.
However, Song Ning had only eaten it in her previous life. As for how to make braised pork, she didn't know many of the ingredients, and her version wasn't very authentic, but it was still delicious.
Song Xiu'e took a bite of the meat and exclaimed, "Er Ya's hands are so skillful! She comes up with food that can make money, and the food she cooks is so delicious!"
Xiaomei, her mouth full of meat, nodded and muttered, "My cousin is the best. I like my cousin the most."
Seeing that her older sister had expressed her opinion, Zhao Di immediately raised her hand: "Me too, me too."
After the family had a happy meal, the village chief gathered the villagers together. He had heard that they had been discussing digging a canal with Dongyuan Village, and the canal would be dug soon.
The village chief was responsible for gathering people to discuss this matter.
Everyone was enthusiastic, but Song Ning frowned slightly after hearing what the village chief said.
She understood everything the village chief said, except for one thing the village chief seemed to have never mentioned: how to prevent leaks.
In previous years, when there was no shortage of water, digging a canal would have been no problem. However, in recent years, there has been no rain, and the wells have dried up, indicating that the underground river is drying up. If a canal is dug at this time, the water will seep away halfway before it even reaches Nanshan Village.
After the village chief finished speaking excitedly and set a date for digging the ditch, everyone dispersed.
Song Ning stepped forward and called out to the village chief: "Village chief, wait a minute, I have a question about digging the irrigation ditch."
In the past, the village chief would definitely not have paid any attention to her, after all, what could a twelve-year-old girl understand?
However, the village chief still values Song Ning's opinion.
"What's the problem? Tell me."
Chu Ning told the village chief about her idea.
The village chief was taken aback. Why hadn't he thought of that before?
The land is dry at this time of year, so if water comes through, it will definitely seep in.
Suddenly, the village chief lost his earlier enthusiasm and his brows furrowed tightly.
Then she looked up at Song Ning and asked, "Er Ya, do you have something in mind?"
Song Ning didn't know if her idea would work, so she could only say, "I heard that some people in the village used to make kilns and sell some tiles. We can use those tiles to lay a layer in the irrigation ditch."
To ensure the incoming water is clean, it's advisable to cover it up. Ideally, a checkpoint should be set up at the water source in Dongyuan Village to facilitate water supply interruption and tile replacement.
That's all Song Ning could think of. After all, tiles don't absorb water as quickly as solid soil. If the tiles were made neatly and pieced together, it wouldn't be impossible.
The village chief was so shocked his jaw almost dropped.
Who said Song Er Ya is brainless? He felt that Er Ya was different after what happened last time. If Er Ya hadn't brought this up today, he really wouldn't have thought of it!
She clapped her hands and immediately became excited: "Er Ya, this is a great idea!"
Before Song Ning could speak, the village chief said, "I know about this matter, and I'll go find someone to discuss it with."
After saying that, he ran off in a hurry.
The village became lively again because of the digging of the irrigation canal.
After discussing the irrigation canal with the village chief, Song Ning focused all her attention on making cold noodles. She had to deliver the cold noodles to the county town tomorrow, so she prepared everything today and went to bed early.
The next morning, Liu Yuelan got up even earlier than Song Ning to cook for her daughter.
Li Daniu parked his oxcart in front of the Song family's house early in the morning. After Song Ning finished eating, he got on the cart, delivered the cold noodles in town, and without delay, took a horse-drawn carriage to the county town.
Wang Fugui drove the carriage to the same place as before. He had intended to see Song Ning off, but Song Ning refused.
Anyway, her bucket is empty now and not heavy. She'll put it in when they get to the restaurant. If Wang Fugui follows, it'll be easy for him to give himself away.
Song Ning was walking happily toward Hongfu Restaurant when he was stopped halfway there.
