Chapter 150 Can You Do It?
Song Chunxue was busy working, and she still had to stack up the corn cobs she brought home.
Otherwise, it takes up space and is easily soaked.
If Li Dazui hadn't told her about the other people on the estate, Song Chunxue would have chased him away long ago.
I even had them watch the door last time, so we have some kind of relationship.
“Your eldest son has been quite diligent lately. He has already gone to check out the land you allocated and said he wants to buy a donkey to plow the land.”
"Chen Feng has been working while carrying her child on her back lately. Today she went to the market and bought a few chicks and a piglet to prepare for the New Year."
"You may not know this, but Zhao Yufang's eldest son got into a fight with his wife on the third day after their wedding. His face was scratched, but he just wouldn't go back to his parents' home. This shows that she is a tough woman."
"By the way, Li Mengchun's wife was forced to kneel again because she was kissing Li Tang behind his back while gathering firewood at night, and my father saw it."
"And then there's Cheng's fifth son. His wife secretly gave birth to a daughter. We'd never seen her pregnant before. She's short, but she's more capable than you. She really saved Cheng's fifth son from being lazy."
"Cheng Lao Er Cheng Yuan is said to still be in the county jail. The eldest brother and his father Cheng Lao Han have been in the county for several days and have not returned yet. It is said that Lord Xie is interrogating old cases and redressing wrongful convictions. I estimate that he will not be able to go home before the end of the year."
"Also, I heard that the third son of the Cheng family accidentally fell off his horse and was injured last time. His wife went to see him and tried to persuade him to come back, but she was beaten up. He came back and cried secretly."
Upon hearing about the third son of the Cheng family, Song Chunxue sighed. If only he had listened to his wife.
"As you can see, I mainly bought two big bags of cotton to make cotton-padded clothes for winter and a cotton quilt. My old cotton quilt is thirty years old and I can't even move it."
Song Chunxue wanted to send him back, saying, "If you don't want to stay at my house for dinner, you should go back quickly, lest Sanwa comes back and sees this, and I'll feel uneasy."
"I understand, I understand. I should go home and feed the pigs and chickens too." Li Dazui stood up. "Oh, by the way, have you learned how to make a lucky charm? I'd like to buy one."
"Not yet, I probably won't learn it before the New Year."
Li Dazui seemed reluctant to leave, saying, "Then teach me when you've learned it."
"We'll see when the time comes." Although Song Chunxue didn't dislike chatting with him, she didn't want others to gossip.
I don't know what's wrong with Li Dazui today; he's acting completely out of character.
She was waiting for the fourth son to come back.
However, the fourth brother came back even later today than the third brother did when he was herding sheep.
The sheep that Song Chunxue made were almost cold by the time the sky had completely darkened and the flock of sheep finally entered the pen.
Once inside, he didn't say a word, silently washed his face, and sat listlessly at the dining table.
Sanwa looked at him curiously, "What's wrong? Did you lose the sheep?"
"No, it's fine, let's eat." (This is a classic case of protesting too much.) The fourth brother picked up a piece of pickled vegetable, only then remembering that his mother had gone to the county today.
"Mom, have you bought the candied hawthorns yet? And what about my storybook?"
"I bought it. I thought you were thinking about the Gao family's daughter and had forgotten about her." With that, Song Chunxue handed the books and candied hawthorns to them.
There were ten candied hawthorns wrapped in small oil paper.
The fourth child and the third child were astonished; she was actually willing to buy so much.
"Mom, have you struck it rich?"
“Yes, that bracelet sold for five taels of silver, and I don’t have much left.” Song Chunxue also picked up a string of bracelets and took a bite. “It’s very sweet.”
“I bought twelve in total, four for each of us.” She took a big bite of a hawthorn. “I used to be reluctant to eat them, but I actually love them.”
Sanwa nodded, "Mother shouldn't have given us all the good things."
The fourth brother seemed to be deep in thought.
"Why are you back so late today, Miss Gao..."
Although her senior brother's words reassured her, she was still worried that something might go wrong.
The fourth brother lowered his head, looking dejected.
"She didn't come in the afternoon. I saw people from her family on the mountaintop. They must be the family she was engaged to, and they were discussing getting married."
Sanwa looked at Song Chunxue in surprise, "How did Mother know?"
"You knew too?" Now it was Song Chunxue's turn to be surprised.
“Someone at school said they saw the fourth brother herding sheep with the Gao family girl. People in the Gao family village say that although the girl is not married, she is a vixen and is having a good time with several boys in the village,” Sanwa paused, observing the fourth brother’s expression, “and they are getting along very well. It is said that the girl was ruined by her second uncle, but her parents did not stop her.”
"..."
"..."
Song Chunxue and Lao Si remained silent for a long time.
As her hazy memories gradually became clearer, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have heard this story in her past life.
I never imagined that the girl was the one who took off Lao Si's pants.
"Fourth brother, don't be sad..."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Just as Song Chunxue was about to comfort Lao Si, he suddenly stood up and flew into a rage, throwing his chopsticks away, his face turning ashen.
“She’s not that kind of person at all. It’s just that the girls in their village are jealous of her looks and made it up on purpose.” With that, the fourth brother kicked the stool away, picked up the candied hawthorn, and prepared to go back to his house.
"Stop right there!"
Song Chunxue snapped, "Sit down. Speak properly, why are you giving me that attitude? Are you asking for trouble?"
The fourth brother pursed his lips, reluctantly sat down, and his eyes were filled with anger.
Sanwa ignored him, eating his candied hawthorn while keeping an eye on his expression.
"Sanwa is doing this for your own good, do you think I haven't heard that?" Song Chunxue said bluntly, "Do you think any respectable girl would dare to seduce a boy before she's even married?"
"Even Li Mengchun's wife isn't as bold as him."
"Have you thought about the Jiang family? If everyone sees your affair with the Gao family girl, her marriage will be ruined by you. I'm most afraid that you'll get her pregnant and then we'll have to marry her. Would I let someone like that be my daughter-in-law?"
The fourth brother stopped eating candied hawthorns and his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"She gets carried away by sweet words. Even if she's been led astray, go ask around in Gaojiazhuang and see if she's like those women in brothels, flirting with any man who isn't too ugly?"
"Putting everything else aside, she's a decent girl, already engaged to someone, yet she still wants to do that kind of thing with you. Can you guarantee she won't seduce other men after you marry her?"
The fourth brother clenched his fist. "She won't! She promised I'd marry her!"
"Heh, so you're going to marry her?" Song Chunxue threw down the wooden stick in her hand, her cold eyes exuding a powerful aura.
The fourth brother swallowed hard but didn't say anything.
“If you still dare to associate with her, then go live in the dilapidated kiln, earn your own money to marry her, and never acknowledge me as your mother again. Anyway, I can’t control you.”
Song Chunxue said coldly, "Anyway, you're all getting more and more powerful, so don't even think about relying on me. Your mother is working herself to the bone not to clean up your messes. If you're really capable, don't even think about eating or drinking my food."
The fourth brother sat still.
Sanwa ate a string of candied hawthorns and then ate his meal quietly.
The only sound at the dinner table was him chewing on salted radish.
"Fourth brother, you didn't actually... you know... with her, did you?" Sanwa couldn't help but ask, "Would you?"
"..." The fourth brother's face turned red, like a rooster in a rage.
"..." Song Chunxue remained silent for a long time before softly asking, "Then, can you do it?"
