Chapter 529 I couldn't resist again
The second son was stunned; he hadn't expected his mother to react so strongly.
He smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry. I just heard that you've been concerned about the Taoist priest's whereabouts, so I asked him a few questions for you. He said he met him in Liangzhou."
"Liangzhou?"
At this moment, He Chuan came in from outside and, unusually, took the initiative to ask a question.
"Mother, are you planning to go to Liangzhou to find the Taoist priest? Can I go with you to see my parents and then come back with you?"
He seemed to realize that his request might be misunderstood, and quickly explained:
“I just went back to visit. I’ve had a good life in Zhuanglang County for the past three years, but my parents are still in Liangzhou. Even though they’re not good to me, they are still my parents.” He lowered his head, his voice growing softer and softer. “I’m well-fed and well-clothed, but they’re stingy because they’re poor.”
Everyone looked at Song Chunxue, and Song Chunxue nodded.
“You’re right. It’s only natural to care about your parents. No matter how bad they are, they are still the parents who gave you life and raised you, and that can never be changed.” Song Chunxue looked at him. “You can come with me, but can you not bring your wife and children?”
Before they knew it, Jiang Hongying, Mulan, and Xu Dahong arrived and stood in the courtyard listening to the sounds coming from inside the house.
Standing inside the room, Song Chunxue could see them craning their necks and peeking forward like mice.
Jiang Hongying simply stood where she could see him and waited for He Chuan's answer.
He Chuan may have acted on a whim and hadn't remembered to discuss it with Hong Ying.
"Let's discuss it and then tell Mother."
"Okay, then you two discuss it together, and don't argue."
Judging from Jiang Hongying's expression, she was very dissatisfied with He Chuan's behavior.
In the past two years, Hongying has been very considerate of He Chuan's feelings, afraid of hurting his self-esteem, but He Chuan has always missed his parents and brothers in Liangzhou.
Song Chunxue walked out of the room. "Is everything ready? Let's go to the restaurant for dinner."
Sanwa picked up the child and followed behind everyone.
As I was leaving, I ran into my fourth brother coming back with two strings of firecrackers. "Wait a minute, let's set off two strings of firecrackers before we go. How can we do this without making a fuss?"
He looked up at his eldest brother, "Hey, who went to invite Lord Xie?"
Just then, the second son came out of Lord Xie's house. "Lord Xie declined, saying that he didn't want to bother our family and that we could go by ourselves."
Song Chunxue looked at Sanwa and said, "You go."
Sanwa handed the child to Mulan, "Mother, shall we go together?"
If it were at a manor, one should invite them repeatedly to show sincerity.
But Lord Xie's status is not ordinary, and he might feel uncomfortable in a large, noisy crowd.
Song Chunxue hesitated for a moment, then said, "Go ahead."
Before long, Sanwa came out of the Xie residence, carrying a pot of wine in his hand.
He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "I didn't even manage to invite the person, and I even took a pot of wine from them."
Song Chunxue smiled and patted the back of his head. "It's nothing, it's just a token of my appreciation."
The sound of firecrackers rang out, scattering red paper scraps all over the ground with a crackling sound. The smell of gunpowder reminded people of the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.
The Jiang family, consisting of sixteen members, young and old, went to the restaurant with their families.
The children were extremely excited, stepping on such beautiful wooden flooring for the first time. The colors of the wooden planks on the stairs were lovely; they didn't recognize what kind of wood it was, but it looked quite luxurious.
Upon entering the restaurant, the aroma of food was accompanied by the scent of wood. Several small fish swam in the pool in the lobby, a testament to the restaurant's excellent feng shui.
The waiter led them to the largest private room, where the children played happily on the floor. They loved sitting directly on the smooth wooden floor. The large windows were open, letting in all the light. Jiang Huan and Xiao Long clapped their hands happily.
This restaurant was chosen by Lao Si. It is said to be one of the best in Jincheng. He told Song Chunxue that he must open a restaurant like this in the future.
While waiting for the food, Song Chunxue went to the corridor outside to escape the noise of a group of children that was giving her a headache.
Compared to her previous life, she was less eager for her grandchildren to like her.
She didn't deliberately hug anyone; they were all her children, and if she hugged one, she would hug all the others. Anyway, she never wanted to be a kind grandmother in this life, so why bother?
Just as he was about to turn back, the door to the next room opened, and Yao Man's voice came from inside.
"Let go!"
Several of the men inside were laughing in a very unfriendly way.
"Why are you leaving? Didn't you say you wanted to talk business? With this attitude, didn't you even consider what we'd come out for when you left? What are you talking about with your delusional ideas?"
"You little wench, come here right now!"
Yao Man's hair was grabbed, and she was pulled back several steps.
Was Yao Man bullied?
How did she end up running into me?
Should we help or not? The people inside probably don't have more power than Wang Can, right?
"Still trying to run? You're a prostitute, what are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? Kneel down!"
"Sizzle~"
Then came the sound of fabric tearing.
The person inside shouted shamelessly and angrily, and Song Chunxue felt a tingling sensation on the back of her head. Just from the sound, she wanted to beat him up.
If Yao Manru is selling herself, why would she have such great ambitions to expand her business?
Song Chunxue walked over, pushed open the door, and said in a low voice, "Hey, let go of my sister."
She didn't intend to be a hero, but she couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.
Yao Man is really something else. She brought a strong man who was useless. He arrived late and didn't even help.
"Girl?"
"Oh?"
The other two people in the room stood up when they saw this. "Where did this woman come from? She's quite fair-skinned. Come in and sit down."
As one of them spoke, he reached out and touched Song Chunxue's hand.
"Smack!"
She subconsciously put a lot of force into that slap, and the bones on the back of her hand were likely cracked, causing her pain for at least six months.
If you're unlucky, you might develop a hidden ailment that will cause you pain every time it rains or is cloudy for the rest of your life.
This is why her senior brother told her to cultivate her mind and character, and that martial arts and meditation complement each other.
But she was very restrained; at least she kicked the person away before even entering the room.
She only acted after the other party made a fool of themselves, so you can't blame her.
"You son of a bitch, you dare hit me? You try touching me again, you bitch!"
Sure enough, after being hit in pain, the man's eyes widened in fury. He pointed his index finger down at Song Chunxue, almost poking her eyeball with it, his expression full of threat.
"Go ahead and move." Song Chunxue grasped his fingers expressionlessly.
There was a "crack" sound.
Then, Song Chunxue stepped back slightly with her left foot and punched the person against the wall.
Then, with an icy expression, she looked around and said, "You dare to tear off my clothes? You've got some nerve. If you want to have fun, go to a brothel. Don't you know the way?"
"I'm not gentle with my hands, so get lost if you know what's good for you!"
The person who was hit ran away first, while the others reluctantly walked out.
Yao Man huddled in the corner, clutching her collar, and stood up to look at the man who hadn't said a word the entire time.
"Wait, wait a minute..."
"Smack!"
Yao Man was slapped.
Song Chunxue frowned, but did not step forward.
She couldn't interfere in everything Yao Man did.
"Brother Jiang, you took thirty taels of silver from me before, promising to introduce me to a distinguished person. Shouldn't you return the silver to me now?"
Surname Jiang?
This is the first time I've run into my husband's family members outside of work, and I never expected them to be like this.
"You don't have to pay compensation for injuring someone?" he said weakly. "Having ambition without ability is no good. If I had known you were Xue Xingyuan's man, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess."
