Chapter 104 Drinking Tea
"Brother, are you really not going to consider being my fiancé?"
Lan Yin blinked at Li Yi with her big eyes.
Suddenly the girl grabbed his hand, and the half-grown Li Yi was a little at a loss.
"Lan Yin, you are still young, don't worry about these things for now."
"Compared to that little girl Erbao, Lanyin is already thirteen years old and will soon be coming of age. Brother Li, are you really not going to consider it?"
Li Yi felt a little embarrassed as the girl kept staring at him. He looked at the girl's innocent eyes and nodded unconsciously.
"Yeah, Brother Li agreed to marry me!"
The girl ran away cheering, wanting to share this happy event with everyone.
"Miao Miao, what's going on?" As soon as Gu Yuanniang entered the door, she saw Lan Yin running out happily, holding Ling'er in her arms and was almost bumped by her.
Xu Miaomiao smiled slightly, counting the account book in her hand and said, "Let's not ask too much about the children's affairs."
Xu Miaomiao glanced at Li Yi in a sarcastic tone. The boy blushed a little at the sudden teasing and lowered his head and refused to raise it.
As the sky gradually darkened, Song Weiwei packed up the carriage and called Gu Yuanniang and the others to get in.
Because there are rooms upstairs in the department store, Lan Yin and Xu Guo mostly live in the department store and seldom go home, but space is limited, so they have to go home early while the weather is still.
Originally, the house was big enough for everyone, but Song Yingying was crammed into it, so Dabao and Li Yi could only squeeze together in grievance.
"Miao Miao, no one is here."
Gu Yuanniang excitedly looked around the house, then looked at Xu Miaomiao and spoke.
The person he was talking about was naturally Song Yingying.
When Song Weiwei heard that the woman was not there, she was the first to be happy: "Maybe she ran back on her own. Isn't it good that she is not here?"
The joy in his tone almost overflowed.
Xu Miaomiao shook her head. If she could leave like this, her parents wouldn’t have gone to so much trouble to send her here.
On the other side, the protagonist they were talking about was wearing a cloak and walking in the darkness, as if he wanted to blend into the night.
Song Yingying looked around and made sure there was no sign of anyone else before knocking on the door.
After a while, Zhang Ru opened the door, and seeing that it was her, she happily invited her in.
"Yingying, do you have any good news this time?" Zhang Ru looked at Song Yingying with shining eyes. They haven't eaten well for several days. It would be good if Song Yingying could bring back some money.
Upon hearing this, Song Yingying lowered her eyes and said, "Mom, aren't you worried about whether I'm living well there?"
"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Ru retorted, "Xu Miaomiao is so rich, how can she give you less food or drink? You should give mother some money. Your father and I can't live like this anymore."
When Song Yingying heard this, she turned her head away awkwardly: "That Song Weiwei is watching me so closely, where can I get money for you?"
"What do you mean!" Zhang Ru frowned in dissatisfaction: "You are Song Wushao's concubine now, and he doesn't give you any pocket money or anything?"
"And a concubine." Song Yingying looked at the woman in front of her and said, "I can't even see Song Wushao once a day, where can I get the money?"
"You're a loser."
Zhang Ru pointed at Song Yingying's forehead with dissatisfaction and said, "Can't you learn to be smarter? If you get pregnant, I don't think anyone will dare to look down on you. Your mother is so smart, why don't you wake up?"
"mother!"
Song Yingying stood up in dissatisfaction, with her back to the woman in front of her: "If that's the case, then it's just degrading myself, no different from those women in the brothel."
"What's the point of you still caring about these shames now!" said the man next to him, and when I looked in the direction of the voice, it was Song Zhiyuan.
Song Yingying was also stunned. She had never thought that Song Zhiyuan, who was so noble, would actually say these words to his daughter: "Father!"
"I know it's not easy for you, but do you want to watch your parents starve to death here?"
Every word was like a spark that burned a hole in Song Yingying's heart. She lowered her head and left sadly, and responded to the man and woman in front of her: "My daughter understands."
"Wait!" Zhang Ru's voice came from behind. The woman picked up a small porcelain bottle and placed it in Song Yingying's hand: "This is an aphrodisiac. If it doesn't work, use it on Song Wushao."
After looking at the woman's determined expression, Song Yingying hid the thing in her sleeve.
As soon as I got home, I saw that everyone had finished their meal and was busy packing up.
As soon as she saw the woman, Song Weiwei snorted in dissatisfaction: "You came back late, there is no food to eat."
Before she could feel proud for a moment, Gu Yuanniang called Song Weiwei in a blaming tone, then turned to Song Yingying and said, "I left some food for you."
Song Yingying followed her gaze and saw only a bowl of dumplings and some side dishes on the table.
Suddenly, a feeling of humiliation emerged from the bottom of my heart. Is Gu Yuanniang humiliating me? I'm afraid beggars would not even bother to eat these leftovers.
Muttering that she was not hungry, Song Yingying tightly clutched the porcelain bottle in her sleeve and turned back to the house.
"Where's Miaomiao?"
After finishing her housework, Gu Yuanniang looked at Song Weiwei playing in the yard and asked.
Song Weiwei was busy playing with the dog and said casually, "I went to see her opera garden."
Gu Yuan's mother nodded and carried Ling'er back to the house. Song Weiwei, who was standing by, saw the puppy running away and went back to the house as she lost interest.
For a moment, the bustling yard became deserted.
Song Yingying turned the corner and looked at the figure of a man reading reflected in the window. Her heart beat violently for a moment. She picked up a cup of ginger tea and walked towards Song Wushao.
As the door opened, a slight cool breeze came into the room with a chill. Song Wu Shao raised his head and saw that it was Song Yingying who frowned and started reading again.
Perhaps she was used to being ignored by men, so in the face of Song Wushao's indifference, Song Yingying just smiled slightly.
Placing the ginger tea in front of Song Wushao, Song Yingying said, "Master, you have worked hard in studying. Yingying specially made a cup of ginger tea for you to drink so that you will not catch a cold easily."
After Song Yingying finished speaking, she looked at Song Wushao expectantly, but the man did not move, treating her as air and ignoring her.
Seeing that she was ignored, Song Yingying didn't get angry. She pinched herself hard and looked at the man in front of her with tears in her eyes and said, "Is it Yingying who didn't do well enough to make the master unhappy?"
Song Yingying stretched out her hand and tried to grab Song Wushao, but the man dodged her skillfully. Looking at the woman in front of him, Song Wushao's face darkened and he uttered one word coldly: "Get lost."
But the cold tone did not dissuade Song Yingying from thinking so she kept bringing ginger tea to Song Wushao: "Master, just have a taste."
The two of them argued back and forth, Song Wushao's frown never relaxed, he picked up the teacup beside him and drank it all, then looked at Song Yingying and said, "I have tea, you don't need to come."
