After a long silence, Song Shiting said, "There's still some flour at home."
All the edible food was hidden away, as they were already worried that Ruan Qingling would ruin it.
Song Shiting took something out of a jar that was pressed under straw.
Ruan Qingling was speechless for a moment.
Oh well, never mind.
That was in the past.
She handed her daughter to Song Shiting, saying, "You watch over Yaya."
Song Shiting held his daughter stiffly, watching Ruan Qingling carry flour towards the stove...
Soon, Ruan Qingling had prepared sweet potato pancakes, wild vegetable soup, and a small bowl of steamed egg custard.
Ruan Qingling placed the steamed egg custard on the table, tested the temperature of the bowl with her hand, took a small soup spoon, scooped up a little soup, and brought it to Ya Ya's lips.
The little guy seemed to enjoy the taste and immediately licked it with his tongue.
Seeing her daughter's happy expression, Ruan Qingling immediately said, "No rush, no rush, there's plenty to eat."
Ya Ya waved her hand and made a humming sound.
While feeding her daughter, Ruan Qingling said, "There's no rice at home."
Song Shiting glanced at the table and said, "I'll go get the food."
Ruan Qingling put down the soup spoon and took her daughter from her.
She added, "Song Shiting, I don't like your mother, and I don't want to associate with your sister. If you want to eat something, you have to wait for someone to cook it and give you a little something. When will this kind of life end?"
When Song Shiting and the original owner had just gotten married, Song Shiting was called to his workplace. Wang Guihua made an excuse to say that Ruan Qingling was being unreasonable, and that's when they separated.
Song Shiting made a special trip back after completing his mission, which happened to coincide with the time he learned that Ruan Qingling was pregnant.
Song Shiting divided his salary into two parts, one for Ruan Qingling and the other for Wang Guihua, asking her to help take care of her.
Later, Ruan Qingling's behavior became increasingly outrageous, and it became even more absurd after she gave birth.
Song Shiting originally wanted to return to work, but because his performance was too outstanding, his superiors were reluctant to let him go back so easily. They kept his file, hoping that he could settle his family affairs and then return to work.
These past few days he's been thinking that if things get too serious with Ruan Qingling, he plans to hand the child over to Wang Guihua to raise and go back to work.
However, seeing Ruan Qingling taking care of her daughter, he felt that no one could replace a mother's love.
Song Shiting looked at her with a deep gaze: "If you are willing to take care of this family, I will handle the affairs at home."
The premise is that she's willing!
Ruan Qingling said, "My willingness to take care of this family is contingent on no one bothering me."
She felt that Song Shiting's mother did not want his marriage to be happy!
His appearance made one wish he didn't have a wife.
Song Shiting went out and was gone for half an hour. When he came back, he brought back five catties of rice, two catties of wheat flour, and some flour.
He said, "I've already told my mom that we'll take care of this little family ourselves from now on."
This was his last gamble.
If that doesn't work, give up!
Ruan Qingling looked at the things on the table, paused for a moment, and said, "Let's eat first, the food is getting cold."
The wild vegetable soup had already gone cold.
She said, "Let's heat it up again."
Song Shiting: "I'll do it."
He quickly took the soup to the stove, added some firewood, and the soup heated up in no time.
Ya Ya has already eaten the steamed egg custard and looks very satisfied.
Sweet potato pancakes are really delicious.
Song Shiting was also surprised that she could make such delicious sweet potato pancakes!
Ruan Qingling said, "Ya Ya should take medicine for another three days and the heat in her body should be cleared up. Next, we need to supplement her nutrition by giving her malted milk powder, or better yet, milk."
Song Shiting said, "I have tickets tomorrow, I'll go buy her milk powder the day after tomorrow."
Ruan Qingling's eyes flickered.
If you want to buy milk powder, you have to go to the town or the city.
She said, "I'll go with you."
Song Shiting looked at her.
Ruan Qingling had already lowered her head and started eating.
He pursed his lips, neither objecting nor agreeing.
...
In the afternoon, Ruan Qingling carried Ya Ya and walked around the doorway.
She discovered that the climate in the mountains was excellent, making it a good place to grow medicinal herbs.
Just as they started cooking dinner and lit the fire, Bai Luomei rushed over and demanded, "Why are you still at home? Because of you, Brother Song is in trouble now."
Ruan Qingling looked up at Bai Luomei: "What are you doing here?"
Bai Luomei: "I only came to you because I couldn't stand it anymore. Do you know that because of your willfulness, Song Shiting is now being cursed by the whole village? What else do you want to do to him?"
Ruan Qingling said expressionlessly, "What's it to you if he's being cursed by the whole village?"
Bai Luomei stomped her foot on the ground and said, "Ruan Qingling, you have no heart. If I were you, I would leave Song Shiting immediately and stop harming him. You not only ruined his future, but you also made him be cursed as unfilial by the whole village. You even beat his mother and sister."
Ruan Qingling: "You're saying all this because you like him, right?"
Bai Luomei's expression changed, and then she said angrily, "Ruan Qingling, you're really biting the hand that feeds you! You don't know a good heart."
Ruan Qingling raised an eyebrow and asked, "Aren't you just meddling in other people's business? What business is it of yours if it's someone else's problem? Is he your man or mine?"
One sentence made Bai Luomei's face turn pale and then red with embarrassment. Then, she cursed angrily: "Ruan Qingling, you are hopeless. A woman like you deserves to die. But you also harmed Brother Song. You slowed him down. You are a scourge."
Meanwhile, Song Shiting was summoned to the village committee. The village chief, who was his uncle, said earnestly, "Apologize to your mother. As for your wife, talk to her properly. She's not good at managing money. With your mother's help, things will be better for you."
Song Shiting remained silent.
Song Shijian said from the side, "Don't make Mom angry. Go apologize to her first."
Song Shiting said, "We have indeed caused Mom a lot of trouble during this period. Now, we are trying to manage it ourselves, and I think my older brother can understand."
Song Shijian said, "I understand. It wasn't easy for Mom to raise us, so we should take care of her in her old age, right?" Song Shiting replied, "I didn't refuse to give her money for her old age. In fact, all the money I had before we got married went to her."
These past two days, when he went to his older brother's house to get food, he always saw his mother with a dark expression.
Actually, he was tired too.
Now I just want to give myself and Ruan Qingling one last chance.
If it can be salvaged, that's fine; if not, then forget it.
If it weren't for this idea...
He wouldn't ask Wang Guihua for the money he had left with her.
Song Shijian couldn't say anything more.
That was indeed made clear back then.
Even the house he lives in now was built with money that Song Shiting brought back. The house that Song Shiting lives in now is actually an old house that his family no longer wanted.
Song Shiting didn't hold any of this against Ruan Qingling, even though she had made a fuss about it before.
But because of this incident, my mother went to my uncle and scolded me for being unfilial.
Wang Guihua kept cursing.
They scolded Ruan Qingling for being outrageous, even hitting her elders and sister-in-law.
Now that Song Shiting dares to take the money back, he can't keep it any longer.
Seeing that Song Shiting's expression and attitude remained unchanged, she suddenly screamed...
