Chapter 180 Is She Really Prosperous?
Everyone in the courtyard looked surprised.
"Mr. Huang is in jail?"
"Isn't Zhimei Mr. Huang's concubine? How could she be demoted to a slave?"
"What do you think a concubine is?"
Song Yuntang's voice continued to come from the room.
"In your opinion, marrying into a wealthy family, even as a concubine, means you have turned the tables and become the master. In fact, what you see is what the concubines want to show you."
"In the eyes of wealthy families, concubines are not worthy of being on the stage. If you make the mistress unhappy, your life and death will be in her hands. If men like you, they can still treat you as a person. If men don't value you, anyone can step on you and your life will be more miserable than that of a servant."
Zhao Qiao'e and Song Jinbao heard this.
I finally understood why Song Yuntang insisted on canceling the marriage with the Huang family.
But they didn't understand at the time. They just thought that if they went to a wealthy family, even if they were a concubine, they would still be a master, who would not only have enough food to eat, but also have people to serve them.
There is some guilt, but more of the blame is directed at Ma.
If she hadn't kept nagging them, they wouldn't have had such thoughts.
"You're lying!" Ma Zhaolan shouted angrily into the room, "Mei'er sent me a few pounds of meat some time ago. How could she be demoted?"
Song Yuntang placed the packed things on her dressing table.
"You should be talking about the two days when my father and eldest brother brought her to see me, right? Song Zhimei has been at the Huang family for such a short time, and she hasn't even received her monthly salary from the mansion. She must have used the twenty taels of meat she stole to buy you meat. You must cherish this opportunity, because it will be one less time to eat it."
"you!"
Ma Zhaolan was about to rush forward but was stopped by the old couple Song Xingye.
"Ma, today is Tang'er's wedding day, could you please stop nagging me? If you want to cause trouble again, get out of here!" Lin said with her hands on her hips.
Zhao Qiao'e also looked at Song Jinbao and his son with disappointment.
"Don't you know what kind of person Song Zhimei is? You actually led her to Tang'er. What's your intention? No wonder Jinsheng was beaten by the Huang family. It turned out to be because of you and your son!"
Song Jinyuan hurriedly pointed at Song Jinbao.
"It's not my fault. It's Dad's idea."
He even reminded his father at that time, but his father ignored him and agreed on his own.
Song Jinbao scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
"She said she was going to Tang'er to plead for mercy. I thought we were all family, and if we could talk things out, we would be more amicable when we met next time, so I took her there..."
Zhao Qiao'e punched him angrily.
"You really don't have a brain!"
Song Jinbao felt guilty, so he covered his arm and said nothing.
Once the old couple came forward, Ma finally calmed down a little.
"Mother, she is a daughter of the Song family who is so ungrateful, why are you still speaking for her? After all, I have given birth to two sons and a daughter for our Song family. I am the great contributor to our Song family! Why don't you help your own family, but instead help her, an outsider who is about to get married?"
"You're talking as if everyone has given birth to a child?" Lin Guifen pointed at her eldest daughter-in-law Wang Hongying and the third daughter-in-law Zhao Qiao'e. "The eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to four sons, and the third daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter and four sons. Which one of them didn't contribute more than you? You're the only one who likes to brag!"
"Ren Tang'er is still paying wages to her four cousins. Is she really so ungrateful that she can do this? Is it true that being ungrateful in your family is not called being ungrateful?"
Ma stamped her feet.
"Humph! Mom is biased! It's so lively today, whoever wants to watch can watch. Since Dad and Mom don't like us so much, our family won't be here to bother you."
After saying this, she looked at her husband and her son and daughter-in-law.
"Let's go!"
Song Jinwen, who has always been afraid of his wife, did not listen to her this time. His butt seemed to be stuck to the stool and he did not move.
But under her power, her two sons and the eldest daughter-in-law, although reluctant to leave, still slowly stood up from their seats.
At this moment, Miao put the cooled sour plum soup on a tray and went out of the house.
"Last night the girl asked me to get up this morning and make sour plum soup for everyone. Come and have a bowl."
Ma's foot had just stepped over the threshold when she heard that there was sour plum soup to drink. She didn't know whether to lift her other foot or not, and she froze in place for a moment.
Lin Guifen glanced in her direction with a sneer on her face.
"Ma, weren't you going to leave? Why aren't you moving again? Hurry up and leave!"
Ma was flexible and immediately put on a smile and turned around to walk towards her, "Mother, what did you say? Wasn't this just a momentary outburst of anger?"
Seeing that she was not leaving, the two sons and the eldest daughter-in-law who had just stood up breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.
"Auntie, why do you call Tang'er 'Miss'?" Liu Xiangyun asked curiously.
Miao smiled gently, with a look of respect on her face.
"The young lady is our master. She is kind to everyone and doesn't allow us to call her Miss. So, shouldn't we call her Young Lady?"
The Song family was shocked.
"Are you the slaves bought by Tang'er?"
After hearing this, Ma's hand holding the sour plum soup shook and she almost spilled it.
If she had left just now, she wouldn't have known that Song Yuntang actually bought a servant?
Is this true or false?
Is she really rich?
Miao smiled and carried a tray to distribute bowls of sour plum soup to the Song family members according to their age.
"Thanks to the girl, our family has not been separated. Today is her good day. I hope everyone can be harmonious and not let our girl lose face in front of her husband's family."
"I know that I am of low status and it is not my place to say these words, but the young lady is my master after all. If my words have offended you, I apologize here first."
Although she had never worked in a wealthy family, the pawnbroker would not only buy them but also teach them how to serve their masters and treat others.
Naturally, I learned these words from my aunt who taught in the dental practice.
After hearing her words, the Song family was silent for a while.
As Song Yuntang's family, they actually needed a servant to give them some advice. It was really embarrassing.
Song Xingye put down the sour plum soup in his hand and spoke.
"I don't care what you're thinking today, just keep your mouth shut from now on. If anyone dares to cause trouble again, don't blame me for punishing you by my family rules when you go back!"
Ma Zhaolan shrank his neck, turned sideways and continued to drink the sour plum soup in the bowl in small sips.
…
After that, the atmosphere in the yard was quite harmonious.
After drinking the sour plum soup, Zhao Qiao'e went into the house to comb Song Yuntang's hair.
As she combed her hair, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Tang'er, I'm sorry. I trusted Lin Zhaozhao wrongly before and had many misunderstandings about you. I apologize to you."
Song Yuntang shook his head.
"I don't mind it anymore."
Thinking that she meant that she didn't care anymore, Zhao Qiao'e smiled at the delicate girl in the mirror and said, "From now on, my family will no longer have any contact with her. From now on, you will be our only daughter."
Song Yuntang looked up at Zhao Qiao'e who was standing behind her in the bronze mirror.
"Such a caring daughter, are you really going to just give up on her?"
Zhao Qiao'e just felt a little embarrassed.
"I know Tang'er blames us, but we were also deceived by Lin Zhaozhao at that time. Who knew that under her well-behaved and sensible appearance, she actually hid such a vicious mind?"
"It's not that there are no clues, it's just that you don't want to understand her so badly, just like... you always think that I do everything with a purpose." Song Yuntang said, curling his lips and smiling, "But it doesn't matter. It's enough for you to recognize Lin Zhaozhao's true face."
This way I won’t have to fall into her hands and clean up the mess myself in the future.
