Chapter 198
Song Manye listened to her son's words and suddenly understood.
"I was saying, you shouldn't be doing this or that today. It turns out you haven't given up on this idea yet!"
Seeing that her thoughts were exposed, Wu Ping no longer concealed them.
"Yes, I do like Cousin Song. I have always liked him."
"Are you crazy? He's your cousin!"
Wu Ping's eyes were filled with sarcasm. "What cousin? We're not related by blood!"
"Why can't he and I be together? If I don't stay home and work, how can I be any worse than that little city goblin?"
"At least I am willing to live with my cousin!"
"I'm different..."
"mom!"
Wu Zhong interrupted Song Manye and said, "Song Yaozu is no longer the same as before."
"You still think he's the boy who was worried about having enough to eat after his adoptive parents died?"
"Now he's got something to offer!"
"Look around the surrounding brigades, how many are as promising as him?"
"Besides, if Wu Ping could really marry him and become the head of the household, it would be a good marriage no matter what!"
Seeing that Song Manye was moved, Wu Ping added fuel to the fire.
"Mom, do you know what Cousin Song's girlfriend is doing now?"
"I just heard from my cousin Xixi's wife that she has become the captain of the town's security team!"
"The position is even higher than Cousin Song's!"
"It's very glorious. Not only do I get along well with the mayor, but I can also often meet with leaders in the county!"
"You said there were so many educated youth who went to the countryside, how come she was the only one who could do it?"
Song Manye's mind moved, and she asked tentatively, "You mean, she is also because of Song Yaozu..."
"What else do you think? What else does that Laozi educated youth have besides a face?"
"She must have coaxed my cousin into staying here. I just ran into her in Cousin Lan Fang's room."
Wu Ping's tone was extremely sour. "She's bragging openly about it. People say her cousin is willing to support her and that she's destined to live a life of luxury!"
"Those hands were so white and tender, you could tell they had never done any work."
"But he has a partner now, and..."
Song Manhua looked her daughter up and down. Even though she was her own daughter, she had to admit that Wu Ping was far inferior to that little girl.
Will Song Yaozu agree?
"What's the point of having a partner? Marriages can be divorced, engagements can be called off, and a partner with no official status is just a partner!"
"Mom, Wu Ping is right."
"If this works out, you'll be his legitimate mother-in-law. Then, will someone else be able to enjoy the good fortune?"
"Then shouldn't I, your brother-in-law, also take on the work of the town's security team?"
"Our family has really changed the house. Wherever you go in our village, you'll see this!"
Wu Zhong said this and gave Song Manye a thumbs up.
Song Manye was so delighted by what her son said that she even began to imagine how the women in the brigade would envy and flatter her after her son went to work in the town.
"Then we have to think it over carefully. We really offended him in the past. That uneducated brat will definitely hold a grudge."
"For so many years, not to mention going out, even if you meet me as your aunt on the street, you won't even bother to greet me."
Over there, the Wu family mother and son were secretly planning how to get close to Song Jingzhou and how to drive away Su Qingci and help Wu Ping take the position.
Su Qingci also found the kitchen here.
Liu Siqing looked at Su Qingci standing at the door and hurriedly urged Song Jingzhou, "Brother, there's nothing left to do. Everything is done."
"Now we're just waiting for the chef to come and fry it. There's hot water here. Wash your hands and come in and sit down."
Song Jingzhou also saw Su Qingci at the door. After cutting the last handful of pickled cabbage in his hand, he washed his hands and walked towards her.
"Why don't you go inside and warm yourself by the fire?"
"Have you been to Lan Fang's room?"
Su Qingci looked at him pitifully, "There are so many people, it's too noisy."
Song Jingzhou looked towards the hall and saw that it was indeed full of people. The country people all had loud voices, and their laughter was about to blow the roof off.
"Let's go to my room and warm ourselves by the fire first, and come back later."
Song Jingzhou tugged at Su Qingci's sleeve and led the way towards his home.
When he got to the room, he quickly took the brazier to the kitchen to find charcoal to light the fire.
Su Qingci squatted beside him and watched Song Jingzhou skillfully light the pine needles with a match, and slowly added charcoal.
After a while, the carbon caught fire.
"Guang Zong Yao Zu, do you know that Wu Ping?"
Song Jingzhou was stunned. "What's the matter? Did she cause you trouble?"
"Isn't she your cousin? Why do you ask?"
Song Jingzhou didn't even think about taking the brazier out. He just pulled two low stools from the kitchen and sat down.
"Although you haven't been here long, you should have heard about my family's affairs, right?"
"Yeah, I've heard of it."
Song Jingzhou sighed. Those were the memories of his previous life, and the scenes flashed through his mind clearly.
"My father only has a few sisters and no brothers. Even though I raised seven children, the first six were also sisters."
"It can be said that the Song family in Gaotang Brigade has been a single-line family for several generations."
"My aunt's generation was taught from a young age to be good to my father and to protect my younger brother. All four of my aunts married close to me."
"The countryside is different from the city. Families with few members are often bullied by others."
"If there's any conflict, they have so many brothers that they won't listen to your explanations or reason with you. They'll just hold you down and beat you up."
"It was because of the help of these four aunts that my father's life was better. He even attended a private school for a few years during that era."
"In my generation, I'm the only male in my family, but I raised six older sisters."
"You should have heard that most of my sisters married in this village or in the neighboring villages."
"It's still for me!"
"My father is a promising man. He has seen the world and has studied."
"Not only are my aunts completely controlled by my father, but even my sisters are afraid of him and want to die."
"As the only male in the family, I was raised by my older sister, aunt, and even cousins."
"My older sisters always give in to me. If I have a dispute with my cousins, regardless of who is right or wrong, before my dad even opens his mouth, my aunt will see my expression and start beating the kids, forcing them to apologize to me."
"Born in this kind of environment, it's inevitable that my temperament will be a bit overbearing."
"I also always thought that my sisters and aunts would protect me forever."
“But my parents are dead~”
"Before they died, they set off a bomb."
"I'm not a child of the Song family."
"I don't know if it's because I was exploited so badly since I was a kid, or if the restraints on me suddenly disappeared."
"Those sisters and aunts who were usually so kind and supportive of me all exploded and treated me like an enemy."
Song Jingzhou thought of the scene many years ago when he was besieged by all his "relatives", and a flash of scarlet anger flashed in his eyes.
