Chapter 22: Only one person can study
After hearing this, everyone looked at Liu Xiangyun. Song Jinyuan was the first to notice the red half of her face that was beaten.
"Xiangyun, what's wrong with your face?"
Liu covered her face and said, "It was Miss Fenghong who hit me."
Song Jinbao frowned, "Why did Miss Fenghong hit you?"
"After Miss Lin arrived, I ran to my uncle's house and asked Changbai to go to the mountain to call her mother. When I came back, I saw her sitting in the main hall. Her maid took out the cakes and candied fruits that Tang'er had given me and put them all on a plate."
Liu Xiangyun's face was full of grievance.
"I know my parents care about her. Although they feel bad for her, they won't quarrel with her just for a little food."
"She said she was thirsty, so I boiled some water for her. She also said her horse was hungry, but the driver was a stranger and couldn't enter the yard, so she asked me to feed it."
"I had never fed horses before, and I was pregnant and worried about something happening, so I used the excuse that I was not feeling well and asked if Miss Fenghong could do it. I was accompanying her in the main room, but Miss Fenghong came up and slapped me in the face, saying that Miss Lin asked me to feed the horses because she thought highly of me, and told me not to be shameless."
Hearing this, everyone had a look of surprise on their faces.
They never expected that things would take such a turn.
Zhao Qiao'e glanced towards Song Yuntang's room and felt extremely guilty when she thought about what he had just said to her.
"So the first thing Tang'er did when he got home was to look for you because he saw you feeding the horses?"
Liu nodded, "Tang'er noticed the red marks on my face and asked me who hit me. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so I didn't tell her. She guessed it."
"But she also pushed Zhaozhao. My aunt and I saw it with our own eyes." Song Changbai said.
He had a good relationship with Lin Zhaozhao before. In his impression, Zhaozhao was considerate, sensible, kind and sincere. He really didn't want to believe that she would be the kind of person who bullies others by taking advantage of her power.
Mrs. Liu shook her head. "You know better than me how noble Tang'er is. Although she grew up in a wealthy family, she is very straightforward in her words and deeds. Although I didn't see her pushing people just now, I still want to say something for Tang'er. Sometimes what you see with your eyes may not be true."
Song Changbai defended Lin Zhaozhao again, "That girl Fenghong's action might not have been Zhaozhao's intention."
Liu's next words immediately cut off all of Song Changbai's thoughts.
"I really wanted to, but Miss Lin threatened me afterwards, saying that if I told this to others, she would break my brother's legs." She looked at everyone, "So I didn't dare to say it in front of her just now. I'm telling you now because I don't want Tang'er to continue to be misunderstood by you."
"Although my brother from my mother's family is not good to me, my parents still rely on him for support. If Miss Lin really breaks his legs, it will not be good for me."
Everyone looked at each other, with disbelief in their eyes.
They have always felt that the innocent and kind Zhao Zhao is not as harmless as he appears to be.
Instead, there are many misunderstandings about the silent and cold Tang'er.
Song Jinsheng seemed to be thinking about something. "Before, whenever Zhao Zhao came, we always saw her being bullied by Tang Er. Now when I think about it, I always feel that something is wrong."
Song Jinbao sighed, "I said it wouldn't be that simple."
Fortunately, they did not blame Tang'er without any reason, otherwise she would be very disappointed.
Song Jinyuan looked at the red marks on his wife's face with heartache. He wanted to reach out and touch it, but was afraid of hurting her.
"Does it still hurt?"
Liu Xiangyun blushed and shook her head.
"Much better, but still a little hot."
"I'll go to the village entrance to fetch a bucket of well water. I'll use the cold water to apply to you later." After saying that, he took the bucket and went out.
Looking at the impetuous Song Jinyuan, Liu Xiangyun suddenly felt that the grievances in her heart had dissipated by half.
Zhao Qiao'e came to Song Yuntang's window with a guilty look on her face, and said a little embarrassedly, "Tang'er, I want to apologize to you. I misunderstood you just now."
Song Yuntang's light voice came from inside the house.
"No need to apologize. This isn't the first or second time. There may be more in the future."
Zhao Qiao'e's heart ached and she quickly shook her head.
"No, from now on, I will only trust you."
If she had known Lin Zhaozhao was such a person, she would never have believed her no matter what.
"Whether you believe me or not, I actually don't really care that much." Song Yuntang's tone was still indifferent.
This family was usually nice to her, but every time Lin Zhaozhao came, this niceness would be disrupted by her intentional or unintentional destruction. She didn't like this feeling of not being trusted.
Zhao Qiao'e knew that her words today had chilled Song Yuntang's heart, but it would be pointless to say too much at the moment.
"I will prove it to you later."
Song Yuntang didn't say anything else.
She was calculating in her mind the day when she had agreed to go to the blacksmith shop to get the silver needle, and it seemed to be just three days later.
When the time comes and she gets the silver needle, she can go to the town's medical clinic to ask if she wants to be a practicing doctor. After all, she is not famous yet, she is young, and she is a woman, so it is not easy to gain the trust of patients.
In this world, there are still many injustices against women.
For lunch, we still had porridge and wild vegetables, but we put a small piece of chopped dried meat in the porridge, added some oil and water, and it was more filling.
Zhuzi ate and looked up at Song Yuntang, "Sister, after I gave the letter you gave to Mr. Xu today, he asked me to thank you on his behalf."
Song Yuntang hummed, "Got it."
Looking at her cold expression, Zhuzi frowned. Who had made this ancestor angry again?
He turned and looked at Zhao Qiao'e.
"Mom, we're going to have a field holiday the day after tomorrow."
Taking a field holiday means preparing for the second half of the year's tuition.
There are two children in the family, and tuition is a considerable expense, especially this year. After paying the tuition, I am afraid that the family’s expenses will be cut off.
Zhao Qiao'e paused while eating, looked up at the two of them, and said with some embarrassment, "This year's harvest is poor. I discussed it with your father for half the night last night. I'm afraid that in the second half of the year, we can only support one person to go to school."
Zhuzi said without thinking, "Zhuanzi, go ahead. I'll help my parents and brother at home."
Zhuanzi shook his head and said, "I won't go. My brother is better than me in learning. So my brother should go."
Song Jinbao looked at the two of them and felt bad. He had tried very hard, but still could not afford to support his two children's education.
"Okay, let's not be modest now, let's eat."
"good."
After dinner, Song Yuntang returned to his room, while Song Jinsheng went to Song Mazi's house as he did yesterday.
After taking a nap in bed, at the end of the day, the sun was already setting. Song Yuntang put on gloves and a bamboo hat to protect the sun, and went out with a basket.
Zhao Qiao'e, who was sewing in the room, saw Song Yuntang opening the gate and asked hurriedly, "Tang'er, where are you going?"
Song Yuntang slowed down his pace.
"Go to the mountains and be back before the sun goes down."
After saying this, the person disappeared at the door.
