Chapter 255: Capture Song Yuntang
He took Jiang to see the mountain spring, the chickens and ducks raised in the mountains, the eight or nine acres of yam on the farm, and the large piece of dry land that Tu Shi had reclaimed.
When I returned to the yard, everyone working in the woodshed was there.
After a while, the people delivering bricks and tiles arrived.
Everyone came to help and transported the bricks and tiles to the land where the house was to be built and stacked them neatly.
Xu Yongwang and his son, who had already planted the pepper seedlings in the field, also came to help. With strength in numbers, all the bricks and tiles were unloaded from the cart in a short while.
A leader came to Song Yuntang with a list of goods.
"Miss Song, the bricks and tiles are all in place. If the amount is correct, you can give me the balance so that I can report back to the manager."
Song Yuntang nodded, checked the amount, paid the balance of twenty-six taels of silver, and let them leave.
"Uncle Cheng, now that the bricks and tiles have arrived, the construction of the house will be left to you and Brother Mazi." Song Yuntang said with a smile while looking at Song Cheng and Song Mazi.
There would be a long period of time left to do, and Song Cheng was very happy, patting his chest and making promises.
"No problem, leave it to us."
Xu Yongwang looked at the bricks and tiles, then turned his head to look in the direction of Jiang.
"When our family built the blue brick and tile house, Gousheng was extremely jealous. If he knew that our daughter-in-law not only has such a big farm but is also building a blue brick and tile house, I'm afraid his beard would be so angry that it would be crooked."
Jiang glanced at him with a warning tone.
"Don't tell him about this. Don't show off your wealth. A few days ago, many people knew that our daughter-in-law kept a servant, and some of the wives started gossiping behind her back. Now they are all on good terms. If something really happens in the future, the villagers will be the first to push our family out."
Xu Yongwang's expression returned to seriousness.
"I'm not stupid. When I chat with others, I usually say that my son has recovered from his illness and my daughter-in-law is sensible and filial. I just said that in front of you, but I didn't intend to tell others about our family's financial situation. When others asked me about my daughter-in-law, I always said I didn't know."
When Jiang saw Song Yuntang looking in her direction, she quickly smiled at her.
"That's better. Just don't let anything slip. And don't drink outside these days. You're the kind of person who would turn your intestines out to show everyone after drinking."
Xu Yongwang grabbed his head in embarrassment.
"It's not as bad as you said, right?"
Jiang chuckled.
"I don't know how much you weigh?"
As she spoke, she walked towards Song Yuntang, "Tang'er, what did you say to me just now? I was standing far away and didn't hear clearly."
Song Yuntang also walked towards her.
"It's still early, and we've arranged things on the farm for now. Let's go to town first. If you get hungry after shopping, we can go to our own shop for lunch and then take the mule cart back in the afternoon."
Jiang joked, "So shouldn't we go out to eat today?"
Song Yuntang smiled and replied, "Yes, I'm treating you, so you don't have to pay."
Xu Wencheng ran over from not far away, "Sister-in-law, I want to go to the restaurant too."
"Okay, let's all go."
Song Yuntang went to the courtyard to say hello to Miao and then led his family to the town.
The group was talking as they walked, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. However, before they reached the tea stall outside Cile Town, they saw Song Zhimei leading six servants of the Huang Mansion walking out of the town in a menacing manner.
She was like a proud rooster, with her chin held high.
Looking from Song Yuntang's direction, the two dilated nostrils on Song Zhimei's originally flat face were particularly eye-catching.
Seeing this situation, Song Yuntang hurriedly said to Xu Wencheng behind him, "Wencheng, hurry up and go to the farm to call some people over."
"good."
Xu Wencheng responded and ran back.
Song Zhimei did not take Xu Wencheng seriously and just thought that he ran away after seeing the situation on her side.
Anyway, her target is Song Yuntang, so it doesn’t matter whether Xu Wencheng leaves or not.
When she got closer, she waved.
"Catch Song Yuntang for me!"
The Huang family servants followed her instructions and hurriedly walked out from behind her.
Seeing this, Xu Yongwang stepped forward and protected Song Yuntang behind him.
"What are you doing in broad daylight?"
Song Zhimei winked at the servant and looked at Song Yuntang viciously.
"Song Yuntang, if you don't want to implicate innocent people, I advise you to surrender. You caused me so much suffering before, and today, I will pay you back bit by bit!"
Seeing the Huang family servants gathering around them, Song Yuntang hurriedly pulled Xu Yongwang behind him and took out a packet of medicine powder from his sleeve and held it in his hand.
She tried to stall for time.
"Huang Heyu has been in jail for half a month, and you are still able to get pregnant with his child out of thin air?"
Song Zhimei's eyes were evasive.
"What nonsense are you talking about? He was framed and imprisoned by you last month. Before that, I had already entered the Huang Mansion."
Song Yuntang said as he protected Xu Yongwang and his wife and moved them back, "It's been less than a month, right? Which doctor is so skilled that he could diagnose your pregnancy?"
She remembered that she moved from the town to the village in mid-August.
The day when she met Huang Heyu and Song Zhimei at the same time was a few days earlier, around the sixth day of August. She bought pots and brown rice for the farm and hired Grandpa Sun's ox cart to help transport the goods.
It is only the fifth day of September, such a short time. Even if they had sex on the day they met, even if the doctor is experienced and the pregnant woman is in good health, it will take about a month to diagnose the disease through pulse diagnosis.
But that day, she sprinkled itching powder on Huang Heyu.
In that case, he shouldn't be interested in taking Song Zhimei, right?
It was almost mid-August when her second brother told her about Song Zhimei and Huang Heyu.
The servants of the Huang Mansion looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know whether to listen to Song Zhimei or not.
Seeing this, Song Zhimei pointed at her angrily.
"Song Yuntang, you framed your cousin and made the master demote me to the lowest servant in the Huang Mansion. Now that I have finally returned to the position of concubine in the Huang Mansion, you actually want to slander the child in my belly. As your cousin, I will definitely teach you a lesson today on behalf of my third uncle."
After hearing this, Jiang finally figured out the situation.
She had such strong hands that she pulled Song Yuntang behind her and started cursing at Song Zhimei.
"I thought you were someone special. You turned out to be Tang'er's cousin who was rejected by Shili Village? What? Do you think it's glorious to climb into the bed and become a concubine of the Huang family? You're even here to confuse right and wrong and say that our Tang'er slandered you? Bah! You've fallen into depravity and think everyone else is bad. I think Mr. Huang really needs to investigate whose child you're carrying."
