Chapter 142: Big things become small things become small things
Song Yuntang nodded, "I suspect it's related to the Lin family, but I don't have any evidence. It depends on whether Huang Heyu is willing to expose the person behind it."
"Don't worry, he will."
After folding all the papers and stuffing them into his sleeve pocket, Xu Qingye stepped forward and untied the traps on Huang Heyu's hands and feet, and took him and the traps onto the carriage.
He lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at Song Yuntang.
"I'll take you to find a shop when I come back. Don't run around alone."
Song Yuntang nodded obediently.
"good."
Xu Qingye pursed his lips slightly, lowered the curtain, said goodbye to the coachman, and headed towards the county town.
Song Yuntang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he watched the carriage go away.
Fortunately, Xu Qingye came.
…
Song Yuntang also followed Xu Qingye's instructions before leaving and did not go out. With nothing to do, he watered the chives and pepper trees on the windowsill and then started making pills.
Xu Qingye came back at the end of the hour.
When he saw the person, Song Yuntang did not rush to ask, but poured him a glass of water first.
"Do you want to take a break first?"
"We have already rested in the carriage." Xu Qingye looked at her. "Huang Heyu's attempt to break into the house has been proven, and he will not be able to come back for a while. Under the interrogation of Lord Zhu, he also gave away Miss Lin. Before I came, Miss Lin had been taken to the county town by Lord Zhu. However, Huang Heyu's attempt to commit murder failed this time, so Lord Zhu will probably detain them for a while, beat them with a few dozen boards each, and ask them to pay some money as punishment."
Song Yuntang nodded.
"If you do bad things, you have to be punished. They deserve it."
It would be nice to have some compensation in the form of silver, as she just happened to be short of money.
If this incident still fails to make the Lin family restrain Lin Zhaozhao's actions, then it would be no different from condoning her suicide.
However, after this experience, Lin Zhaozhao could no longer think of finding a good marriage.
Xu Qingye took out a box and put it on the table.
"Master Zhu asked me to bring this to you. He said it was a reward from the court."
Song Yuntang opened the box with a little surprise. There were four silver ingots inside, totaling two hundred taels of silver!
Looking at the girl's shining eyes, Xu Qingye said, "In addition to the two hundred taels of silver, there are also fifty dan of grain. Master Zhu will have someone send it to your farm in two days."
Song Yuntang raised his eyes, "Brown rice?"
"White rice."
White rice and brown rice are not the same price.
A dan of brown rice costs six hundred wen, while a dan of white rice costs nearly one tael of silver.
She was planning to store some food for the famine years, but she didn't expect that the court would send food to her at this critical moment, fifty loads of rice. From now on, she can cook rice or porridge whenever she wants, and she doesn't have to worry about not having enough food.
"When the food arrives, let's transport some to Lushan Village. I can't finish all the food by myself." After putting the silver away, she looked at Xu Qingye, "Have you eaten lunch? Are you hungry now?"
Xu Qingye pursed his lips slightly and looked at her.
"I'm hungry."
Song Yuntang curled his eyes and said, "Wait, I'll go cook for you."
When Xu Qingye saw her go out, he didn't really sit down and wait for food, but went to the kitchen with her and helped her light the stove.
"Has the pot here been moved to the farm?"
"Well, I've moved in a few days ago. After what happened last night, I don't plan to stay here for a full month. The house on the farm will be almost repaired in three or four days. I'll move in then and slowly buy things."
After Fubao's acne scars formed, it was basically no longer contagious. This should happen in the next two or three days.
As for the adults in the village, since they had taken preventive medicine in advance, the possibility of infection was very small. What's more, adults' immunity is stronger than that of children, and they will not have direct contact with children.
Xu Qingye nodded, "Okay."
Song Yuntang put the washed rice into the pot, beat two eggs, and steamed a bowl of egg custard.
Then I picked three more peppers, cut the remaining half of the pork belly, and made a stir-fried pork belly and a portion of bean sprouts.
After eating sprouts for so long, she really felt a little sick of it.
But there is no other food to eat.
The weather was too hot a few days ago and we couldn’t grow vegetables. But once we move to the farm, we can use bamboo to lead spring water to the foot of the mountain, and it will be much more convenient to grow vegetables.
The remaining large intestines cannot be kept any longer. We will cook them together tomorrow and send the remaining ones to the farm. I will also go to check on Fubao’s illness.
"Xu Qingye, the food is ready, you can turn off the fire in the stove."
"good."
Xu Qingye took out the unburned firewood and put it out, then he and Song Yuntang brought the food into the house.
The two sat down opposite each other, and Song Yuntang put a piece of stir-fried pork tripe into his bowl with chopsticks. There were chili peppers and pork tripe in it.
"Try it."
Xu Qingye picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of pork belly and chewed it slowly in his mouth.
It's a little spicy, but very fragrant.
Looking at his expression, Song Yuntang smiled, "It tastes good, right? Pork tripe is delicious when stir-fried, and it's also good when stewed in soup. I'll make you some pork tripe chicken when I have the chance."
Xu Qingye nodded happily, "Okay."
After the two finished their meal, Song Yuntang took out two large sachets from the house and handed them to Xu Qingye.
"I didn't make the sachets, but I prepared the medicine inside. Hanging them at home can strengthen the health of the whole family. I thought grandma wasn't in good health, so I made two. You should go back early. It will be unsafe to walk on the mountain road after dark."
Xu Qingye had no intention of leaving.
He looked down at the sachet in his hand, then looked up at Song Yuntang. Just as he was about to say he wanted to stay, there was a knock on the door.
I had dinner early today.
Song Yuntang was just wondering why Mu Dong and Mu Qiu closed the shop early today. When he opened the door, he saw Zhuang Wenyin and Nanny Zhao standing outside.
"Miss Song."
Nanny Zhao first bowed to Song Yuntang.
There was a flash of understanding in Song Yuntang's eyes. It was very likely that Zhuang Wenyin came here because of Lin Zhaozhao.
She is really a good mother.
Zhuang Wenyin looked a little embarrassed, "Tang'er, won't you invite me in to sit down?"
Song Yuntang looked indifferent.
"If Madam Lin is here to plead for Lin Zhaozhao, then don't waste your energy. She has hurt me more than once or twice. If I don't teach her a lesson, I will not be at peace."
Zhuang Wenyin said patiently, "I know that Tang'er was wronged in this matter, but the government prison is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. How can a little girl like Zhaozhao endure such suffering? Tang'er, can you give her some leniency for the sake of our past friendship? I can give you some compensation afterwards."
Even if he managed to survive a few days, Zhao Zhao's reputation would be ruined.
She will be seventeen next New Year, and now is the stage of discussing marriage. There can't be any mistakes, otherwise it will ruin her life.
I just hope Song Yuntang can let bygones be bygones, make a big deal out of a small matter, and this matter will be over.
