Chapter 227 You're Happy for Nothing

Song Jin didn't care even if he was scolded.

She listened with one ear and let it out with the other, put down the bag of cakes and tea in her hand, and said with a faint smile: "Grandma cursed loudly and with full force, it is obvious that she is almost well, my husband and I are relieved now."

The tea leaves were obviously for Old Man Qin.

In the end, Mrs. Liu only got a bag of cakes.

There was no one else in the room, and Old Man Qin was not there either, so Song Jin just said a few perfunctory words and then went out, completely ignoring Old Liu's scolding.

Song Jin rubbed his eyebrows.

Mrs. Huang also came out at the right time. When she heard Old Liu's scolding, she almost spat in her face, "Madam, don't mind it. Some people are shameless and can't live without scolding people for a day."

"I know, I didn't take it seriously."

Song Jin really didn't take Old Liu seriously.

She has seen many people like Old Liu.

Old man Qin is in the hall.

Just when Song Jin was about to go over to meet him, he saw Qin Mingsong head-on.

He was standing in the corridor not far away.

I don’t know if it’s because the distance is too far, but Song Jin’s eyes are blurry, which makes him feel that there’s something wrong with Qin Mingsong’s eyes.

Anyway, it makes people feel uncomfortable.

Song Jin simply pretended not to see him, turned around and stepped into the hall. She and Old Man Qin didn't have much to talk about, just a few polite words.

Old Man Qin asked Qin Chi: "Da Lang is 20 years old this year, is he in good health?"

I specifically mentioned Qin Chi's age, of course I would mention it briefly from time to time. Since he was young, doctors said that he couldn't raise his eldest grandson, but he grew up despite his illness, got married and had children, who are now three or four years old, smart and cute.

You have to know that twenty is the age when a man comes of age, and normally a coming-of-age ceremony should be held.

Farmers don’t really care about that.

Old man Qin's question had nothing to do with the coming-of-age ceremony, but was actually out of concern for Qin Chi's health.

He knew that his eldest grandson Qin Chi had been lucky since he was young.

When he was sick, he would meet a good doctor; when he wanted to study, he would be taught. When he was a child, he went to a private school. The teacher saw that he had a high talent for studying and did not accept his tuition.

Nowadays, students go to the Imperial College to study.

It’s a pity that I’m twenty years old now. Can my body still withstand it?

Old Man Qin also felt regretful about this.

If it was a grandson with a healthy physique who went to study at the Imperial College, he would definitely have a bright future.

Song Jin saw the regret on Old Man Qin's face.

For a moment I didn't know what to say.

It can only be said that Qin Chi's frailty was deeply rooted in people's minds. Even though he lived to be 20 years old, people still did not change their minds. They only thought that it was a miracle that he could live so long, and he was almost going to die.

This idea isn't just for outsiders.

Song Jin occasionally has this thought.

Old Man Qin looked at Song Jin's hesitation and the look of wanting to say something but not saying it, and immediately thought of Qin Chi. He said with understanding in his eyes, "Is it getting worse?"

Then, he sighed, "His body is fighting against God. He shouldn't have gone to the capital. It would be better for him to stay at home and take good care of himself. Studying is too stressful."

How could one worry about a sick person? Song Jin remembered the letter he had received from Qin Chi, and said, "My husband is in good health. Doctor Jing has taken good care of him."

"Okay, you don't have to comfort me."

Old Man Qin said that Song Jin was thoughtful, and everyone knew it. "As for Dalang, please spend more time to take good care of him."

"He is my husband, I will."

Song Jin could only respond without further explanation.

Because she found that explanation was useless.

At this time, a child poked his head outside the house.

It was Shiro and Goro, who were listening to their conversation.

Then he ran away and learned it for Qin Laoer and Xiao Liushi to hear.

The two of them misunderstood and thought that Qin Chi was not in good health again. Then the rest of the family knew about it, and the rumor spread that Qin Chi was dying.

In an instant, the Qin family was filled with gloom and sorrow.

While Song Jin was talking to Old Man Qin, Song Xiu also heard the news that Qin Chi was about to die. She was immediately putting on makeup in front of the mirror and quickly threw away the jewelry in her hand.

He ran out of the house happily.

When Song Jin came out, she ran into Song Xiu looking at her with sympathy.

Wherever she went, she looked.

"Are you ill?"

Song Jin turned around and looked at Song Xiu coldly.

There is something wrong with this couple today!

Song Xiu said with pity: "Sister, why didn't you tell me when you came back? We haven't seen each other for two years. Oh, my poor sister, you have worked hard these two years. You have lost weight."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Song Jin sensed something was wrong, but he didn't expect the other party to have such a wild imagination that he even thought of Qin Chi's death.

Song Xiu stepped forward as if to shake Song Jin's hand, but Song Jin dodged in time. However, her serious expression made Song Jin confused as to what she was up to.

"Sister, it's okay to be a widow. At least you still have a pair of children and there is hope for the future." Song Xiu picked up the embroidery handkerchief and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.

A face full of compassion.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Song Jin finally understood, "Someone told you that my husband is dead?"

"Hasn't this spread everywhere?"

Song Xiu blinked and said in a pretentious tone, "Sister, you don't have to deceive yourself. I understand. But you have to accept the reality as soon as possible and live a good life. There is no hurdle in this world that cannot be overcome."

"Oh, thank you then."

Song Jin didn't want to talk nonsense with her anymore, "It's a pity that my husband is alive and well. You've been so happy for nothing."

This weird attitude really made Song Xiu angry.

Song Xiu was just about to tell her not to force herself.

Just at this moment, Qin Lao Er and Xiao Liu came over with anxious looks on their faces.

Soon Song Jin found out who spread the rumor.

It turned out to be two little kids who overheard what she and Old Man Qin were saying and ran to tell the adults.

Song Jin was both amused and confused. "Uncle, Aunt, this is a misunderstanding. Dalang is in good health. It was the child who misunderstood and didn't hear the whole thing."

"It turned out to be a mistake."

Little Liu patted her chest, her face full of fear.

Then he got so angry that he went to beat up the two little brats, picked them up and spanked them several times, almost making them cry.

Qin Lao Er also breathed a sigh of relief, "Well done, let them pass on the message."

Mrs. Lin, who was standing nearby, also came out holding a baby.

When he heard it was a misunderstanding, a smile appeared on his face.

For a moment, everyone was having fun.

Anyway, Song Xiu's face darkened. It was not that she did not believe Song Jin's words, but there was no sadness in Song Jin's expression. She really did not look like a woman whose husband had died.

Song Xiu snorted coldly and turned away.

Song Jin ignored her and chatted with everyone for a while, saying that Qin Chi would be back in two days and would take part in this year's provincial examination.

Seeing that it was almost dark, he said goodbye and left.

Xiao Liu was holding a child in each hand.

Follow Song Jin out.

Judging from the look on her face, she had some gossip to share with Song Jin.

When Qin Lao Er came out, Xiao Liu handed the child to him and walked home with Song Jin while chatting about gossip in a low voice.

Most people talked about the bustle in the fourth room.

Before the family split up, any trouble in the Qin family would be covered up by Old Man Qin. Song Xiu was a reckless person, and she would do anything if she was pissed off.

For example, Qin Mingsong's reputation was almost ruined by Song Xiu. At least everyone in the village knew that he killed his son and had a mistress.

This is a stain that Qin Mingsong cannot wash away.

Song Jin asked indifferently, "My uncle and his mistress are still together?"

"Yes, yes."

Little Liu looked around and complained, "I just don't understand them. It's not just me. The uncles and aunts in the village also say they don't understand. Why would a woman fake her death to become a concubine? What do you think she wants?"

"Yeah, what does she want?"

Song Jin responded quietly.
