Chapter 19: Seizing the Jade Hairpin That Su Tan Likes
Song Xiao's tears fell down.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Su Tan's expression.
If he had gotten hurt in the past, Su Tan would have been heartbroken, but unfortunately, at the moment, Su Tan's face showed no sadness or joy, and he just watched this farce calmly.
Song Xiao turned his head, bit his lip hard, and snorted, "I won't!"
"She is a bad woman!"
"I hate her, I hate her!"
"I hate her so much, she's not even as good as a hair of Aunt Qing!"
Liu Qingyin looked proud, but she glanced at Su Tan with pity, then frowned slightly, "Xiaoxiao, don't say that. Your mother will be sad if she hears it."
sad?
Su Tan raised his eyebrows. If it were in the past, he would definitely be sad.
But now, she didn't know whether it was because she was affected by her transformation into a ruthless cultivator, or because she had long been disappointed with Song Xiao, her sensitivity to emotions had actually declined a lot compared to before.
Rather than worrying about whether she was sad or not, she would rather see how long Song Xiao could hold out.
Just like Song Xiao never felt sorry for her as a mother, now when Su Tan saw Song Xiao crying and saw her red eyes, she just shook her head.
Hong Ge'er's face was stern. He had never seen a child as unfilial as Song Xiao. If he said such words to his mother, not only would the teacher break the ruler, he himself would have no face to live. "Song Xiao, apologize!"
Song Xiao was in so much pain that cold sweat was about to drip down his face, but he still turned his head stubbornly, "I won't!"
The stalemate lasted for a quarter of an hour. More and more people gathered in Zhuhuazhai to watch. Old Lady Song felt sorry for her child and wanted to step forward several times, but was stopped.
She cried and wiped her tears, "There is no law anymore. The Su family allows the big ones to bully the small ones!"
Gu Mingzhu glanced at the old woman coldly, with a sneer on her lips, her voice still gentle and polite, "Madam, the two children are playing around."
"Look at Xiaoxiao's stature, and then look at Hong'er. How can he bully Xiaoxiao?"
Most of Zhuhuazhai's customers are young and beautiful girls, or maids from prominent families who come to pick up jewelry for their masters.
They had no way of knowing that Hong Ge'er was a thin and strong man who practiced martial arts, with a straight posture, but he had learned how to use clever strength at an early age, while Song Xiao was completely fat and looked good but was useless.
"This old lady is really something. Two children were just playing around, and she reacted so strongly!"
…
"Why is the big one bullying the small one? The big one is so skinny, how can he possibly bully the small one?"
…
"I think that little one deserves a lesson. If my son dared to point his finger at me and call me a bad woman, and even compared me to other vixens, I would just pretend I didn't have this son and have him beaten to death."
…
"I think raising a son like this is worse than raising a piece of roast meat!"
The onlookers bombarded the Song family with every word they spoke. Old Madam Song was so angry that her heart ached and she almost fell down.
"What do you know!"
"That woman and my son divorced a long time ago. What my grandson said is the truth! They are the ones bullying my grandson!"
Old Lady Song thought that by saying this, everyone would share her hatred for the enemy and despise Su Tan.
Who would have thought that a gorgeously dressed maid would immediately retort, "What's wrong with divorce? These days, if men don't behave like human beings, how can a woman get divorced when she's fine?"
This statement was immediately agreed by many women.
That's right. The world is difficult and it is not easy for women to survive. If men did not force women to live in their husband's family, why would women insist on divorce?
Gu Mingzhu wiped away a tear and said, "Old Madam, you should be reasonable when you say this. My sister married into your Song family with great fanfare, but when she divorced, she was left with nothing. Poor sister didn't want to burden her family, so she followed her senior sister to make a living."
"Don't say my sister is innocent. Even if she has a thousand faults, she is still Song Xiao's biological mother. He keeps calling her a bad woman. So what if my son gives her a few words of advice?"
When Gu Mingzhu started crying, Cui Liu beside her also started crying.
"Our eldest daughter is truly pitiful. A daughter of heaven's favor married the wrong man, ended up with a pack of jackals, and even gave birth to an ungrateful child!"
The master and servant sang in unison, and every word they said was heart-wrenching.
This only caused the girls and ladies in Zhuhuazhai to spit on the Song family one after another. If they had not been well-educated, they would have wanted to beat them up for Su Tan.
Su Tan seemed to be lost in thought.
In the past, whenever Liu Qingyin cried, everything became her fault.
I used to think that tears only affected men, but now it seems that as long as the tears fall quickly and you are right, even women will feel distressed.
Song Xiao was a little panicked.
He didn't understand why so many people were looking at him with disgust and, like the people in the academy, were calling him an ungrateful person.
Hong Ge'er continued to exert force on his hands and stared at Song Xiao coldly, "Are you going to apologize or not?"
Song Xiao couldn't bear the pain any more, her mouth pursed and tears fell down.
"I was wrong!"
He said I was wrong, but his eyes were staring at Su Tan fiercely, his face full of stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat.
Hong Ge'er was naturally dissatisfied and increased the strength of his hands. "Your apology is insincere. Say it again."
Song Xiao felt so painful, as if someone was cutting his flesh bit by bit with a knife. He really couldn't bear it anymore.
He was trembling and didn't dare to yell at Su Tan, let alone call her a bad woman.
He lowered his head, tears soaking his clothes, "I'm sorry..."
Hong Ge'er finally let him go, but his little face remained stern. "Next time you see your mother, remember to be extra respectful. Don't let me hear you call her a bad woman again."
Otherwise, he can only continue to fulfill his duties as a cousin and educate his ignorant cousin.
Song Xiao pouted and looked at Su Tan secretly out of the corner of his eye.
Unfortunately, Su Tan was unmoved and didn't even notice Song Xiao. Instead, he lowered his head and tidied Hong Ge'er's hair.
Song Xiao couldn't hold it in any longer and threw himself into Old Madam Song's arms and burst into tears.
Liu Qingyin's face was tense. She looked up at Song Tingchen. The man still had a cold face, but he didn't have the slightest intention of scolding Su Tan.
Liu Qingyin bit her lip, knowing that if she continued to stalemate, she would be the only one to be embarrassed, so she said, "Brother Song, let's go."
Song Tingchen's eyes were cold, "We are here to buy jewelry for you today, don't ruin your mood for someone irrelevant to you."
He deliberately emphasized the word "irrelevant".
Unfortunately, Su Tan had already turned around and walked to the second floor, not even bothering to look over here.
"right!"
Madam Song gritted her teeth and deliberately said loudly, "Qingyin is beautiful, gentle, sensible, and generous. Some people can never compare to her in ten lifetimes!"
"Qingyin, just choose whatever you like today!"
Song Xiao held his breath and said loudly, "Yes! I'll use my New Year's money to buy Aunt Qing a big bracelet!"
He hurried upstairs and saw Su Tan holding a jade hairpin. He immediately snatched it from her hand and said, "Aunt Qing, this looks good on you!"
