Song Lao Er coughed and said, "Zhao Di, you are about the same age as Song Chun and Song Xia. When you have free time, take your sister to visit them more often. You all have the same ancestor, so don't be estranged."
Seeing him say that.
Song Zhaodi glanced at Qiao Lianhua and muttered softly, "Didn't Mother say that we shouldn't associate with them?"
Song Lao Er was nearby and heard everything clearly.
His gaze immediately swept towards Qiao Lianhua.
Qiao Lianhua forced a smile and said, "Husband, I... I'm not afraid their family will implicate ours. Don't you know how outrageous my fourth brother was before..."
"Shut up!"
After scolding her, Song Lao Er turned to Song Zhao Di and said, "Zhao Di, from now on, you only need to remember what your father tells you. Don't take what your mother says to heart."
The words were spoken.
Song Lao Er asked Qiao Lianhua to give Song Zhaodi ten coins to buy eggs, which could be bought in the village.
I bought them and delivered them to Song Xia and the others.
Qiao Lianhua stopped taking out her money abruptly: "Husband, are you seriously ill? You're injured and don't even have eggs to eat, yet you're buying them for them!"
"Take it if I tell you to!"
Song Lao Er spoke fluently without further ado.
Qiao Lianhua reluctantly took ten coins.
Following Song Lao Er's instructions, Song Zhaodi went out to buy eggs. Eggs in the village cost one coin each, so she bought ten for ten coins.
I'm home.
Song Lao Er then urged Song Zhao Di to take Song You Di to deliver the eggs, so that they could stay at their house as long as possible and get along well with them.
I found out what happened.
Song Youdi said with dissatisfaction as he walked.
"Second sister, what was Dad thinking, sending us to deliver eggs to Song Xia and the others? Can't we just eat these eggs ourselves? I haven't had eggs in ages, I don't even remember what they taste like. Besides, do Song Xia and the others really need a few eggs right now? And Song Xia is so fierce, what if she beats us up as soon as we show up?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Just do what your father tells you to do."
Song Zhaodi quickened her pace toward Song Xia's house, with Song Youdi following behind, fuming.
They arrived at Song Xia's house.
Song Youdi did not knock on the door; it was Song Zhaodi who knocked.
This time, Song Xia opened the door; she had just come out of the outhouse when she heard the knocking.
Upon seeing Song Xia, Song Zhaodi immediately said, "Sister Xia'er, we've come to bring you eggs. My father feels really bad for you, so he sent us to deliver these eggs."
Song Xia originally did not intend to accept it.
She noticed Song Youdi's displeased pout, reached out and took the gift, smiling as she said, "Sister Zhaodi, thank you for making this trip. Since you're already here, why don't you come in and sit for a while before you go back?"
Just as Song Zhaodi nodded, Song Youdi squeezed through the door.
I looked around.
Seeing that their family was still the same as before, Song Youdi said, "Xia'er, didn't your family set up a stall to sell noodles with soybean paste? How come you're still as poor as before?"
"Third Sister!"
Song Zhaodi hurriedly shouted.
Song Youdi had long forgotten what she had told him.
"Sister, what are you yelling at? Aren't I just telling the truth?"
Song Xia said slowly, "What you said is indeed the truth. Our family has always been quite poor, both in the past and now. Even with our stall, we are still not well-off."
Song Youdi was unaware that her father owed Song Xia money; if she had known, she certainly wouldn't have said such a thing.
She didn't know.
Song Zhaodi, however, knew about it.
Qiao Lianhua accidentally let slip that she had overheard, but she told her not to tell anyone.
Song Zhaodi tugged at Song Youdi and whispered, "Third Sister, have you forgotten what I told you..."
"Zhaodi, you've arrived."
Fang Xiu and the others went to the foot of the mountain to collect pine needles and are only now returning.
Song Zhaodi was the first to greet them. Song Youdi only called out to Fang Xiu. As for Song Chun, Song Qiu, and Song Dong, she didn't greet them at all. If Fang Xiu hadn't been an elder, she wouldn't have bothered to greet them.
Song Laosi was still working with pine needles, so he didn't come back.
Thinking that Fang Xiu was easy to talk to, Song Youdi went up to her as soon as she came out of the kitchen and said, "Fourth Aunt, I heard that your family's zha jiang mian (noodles with soybean paste) is delicious. I haven't tried it in a long time. Could you make some for us to try?"
Song Zhaodi couldn't bear to watch any longer and decided not to stay any longer.
She stepped forward and grabbed Song Youdi, saying, "Fourth Aunt, don't listen to Third Sister's nonsense. We won't disturb your work anymore; we'll go back first."
They had just left.
Song Qiu then complained, "Sister Zhaodi is still the best, Song has a brother..."
"Alright, let's get to work!"
Fang Xiu disliked her daughter gossiping about others, especially relatives.
Once we've brought all the pine needles back...
Fang Xiucai approached Song Xia and said, "Xia'er, we've been selling our zha jiang mian (noodles with soybean paste) for so long, but your grandmother and the others haven't tried it yet. Why don't we make some and send it to them?"
Song Xia knew what Fang Xiu was thinking, but she wouldn't indulge Song Youdi.
She only asked Fang Xiu to make it and send it to Old Master Song's house.
They learned that they only delivered to Boss Song and his group, not to their family.
Qiao Lianhua angrily cursed, "It must be that brat Song Xia's idea! We're all family, yet she treats us differently! What a piece of trash!"
Song Zhaodi stood to the side, not daring to say a word.
Song Youdi lowered his head and fiddled with his hands.
Old Song the Second sensed something was wrong and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, did something happen when you went to their house today?"
"Father, what could be wrong?"
Song Youdi spoke very quickly.
Song Lao Er knew his daughter quite well; he could tell she was guilty just by looking at her clasped hands.
She's not telling the truth.
Song Lao Er then turned to Song Zhao Di and asked, "Zhao Di, you tell your father."
Song Zhaodi hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
She couldn't resist Song Lao Er's persistent questioning and finally told him the truth.
Song Lao Er was furious and ordered her to bring him a stick. He got out of bed and started hitting Song Youdi.
Song Youdi never allowed herself to be hit, so she turned and ran away. Song Lao Er was injured and didn't dare to chase after her, so he could only angrily throw the stick aside.
Qiao Lianhua couldn't help but say, "Husband, why did you hit Youdi? What did Youdi do wrong? She's still growing, what's wrong with wanting to try their family's noodles? We're all family, why are you being so stingy..."
"Try it. Do you know how much a bowl of zha jiang mian costs?"
"Does their family owe us?"
"You're stingy? Aren't you stingy?"
Song Lao Er returned to Qiao Lianhua.
Qiao Lianhua retorted indignantly, "It's just a few coins! We're very close relatives. What's wrong with a few coins, or even tens of coins? Why are they making such a fuss over it!"
"Shut up! If you keep acting like this, I'll divorce you!"
Upon hearing Song Lao Er's words, Qiao Lianhua fell silent, not daring to utter a single word.
No matter how angry he was before, he had never said anything like that.
That's how it's said now.
It's clear he was really furious.
Song Xia was quite busy today. After dealing with Song Zhaodi and the others, Tuoba Zhen arrived.
I forgot to ask last time.
This time.
Upon seeing him, Song Xia immediately asked, "Tuoba Zhen, how did you get here?"
"I came here as soon as I thought of it..."
Tuoba Zhen took out two gold bars and two silver ingots from his pocket and handed them to Song Xia: "Immortal, I think your immortal fruits are quite good. Can I buy some from you to resell? Oh, and some apples too, please give me some as well."
