Chapter 274 Sending a Silver Bracelet to Zhao
The Zhao family was really scared now. They were afraid that the whole family would be thrown into jail, so they could only sit back in their seats in disappointment.
"Zhao Qiao'e, that bitch, just wait and see how I tell on her in front of my parents when I get back!" Tian Cuiyun said gritting her teeth.
"Mom, my ears hurt so much." Zhao Xiaotao looked at her aggrievedly.
Tian Cuiyun poked her head in annoyance and said, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts. You only know how to feel pain. You can't even protect your own things. You deserve to be in so much pain!"
Song Yuntang was able to snatch the pair of earrings as well, so maybe the pendants could be worth some silver.
If I could have kept the pair of pendants, maybe I could have exchanged them for a few hundred coins or two. But now, they're all gone.
Zhao Xiaotao shrank her neck, and even though she felt aggrieved, she didn't dare to say anything.
Elaine Chao looked at Liu Qiuyan.
"Mom, did Song Yuntang just snatch that bracelet away?"
Liu Qiuyan patted the back of her hand, signaling her to be at ease.
"Mom, let's think of a solution."
Zhao Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief. Her mother said she would find a solution, so it should be fine.
…
Seeing that the Zhao family had stopped making trouble, Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. She asked Song Jinsheng to pour a cup of tea for Zhao's uncle and aunt, and she and Wang Hongying went to the kitchen to busy themselves.
After all, she came from my mother's family. Even though there were some conflicts, I can't completely offend her.
If I need help with something in the future, maybe I can still count on them.
Take the recent period for example, her parents knew that there would be no vegetables to eat this year, so they asked her second brother to send her a small bundle of leeks.
Song Yuntang also followed him to the kitchen.
Zhao Qiao'e thought she was here to help, and hurriedly pushed her out, "Tang'er, you don't need to be busy here, go out and sit down, your aunt and I will be fine."
After a daughter gets married, she is treated as a guest when she returns to her parents' home.
There weren’t many dishes for lunch, and with Song Jinyuan and Song Jinsheng helping out, there really wasn’t a need for too much help.
"I'm not here to help you."
She came to the stove, scooped a small piece of lard with a spoon, smeared it on the back of Zhao's hand, and then put the silver bracelet in her sleeve pocket on it.
The process took quite a bit of effort, and Zhao's hands were a little red from years of hard work.
"I bought one with a smaller ring so it won't fall off easily."
Zhao Qiao'e looked at her in disbelief.
“Is this a silver bracelet?”
Song Yuntang rubbed the excess lard on his hands, "Yes."
Zhao Qiao'e gently shook her hand and looked at the bracelet on her hand. Although she was happy, she still asked distressedly, "This must have cost a lot of money, right?"
There are not many people in the village who wear silver jewelry, especially such a heavy silver bracelet, which looks like it weighs at least two taels.
This is her first piece of silver jewelry!
Song Yuntang looked at her, without showing much emotion in his expression.
"Just wear it if I bought it for you. Don't worry about whether it costs money or not. Don't tell anyone else about it, especially the Zhao family. If they knew, you probably wouldn't be able to wear it for a few days."
The family has been poor in recent years, partly because there are few ways to make money, and on the other hand, Zhao Qiao'e's two sisters-in-law are too powerful.
Every time someone from her parents' home was coming, Zhao Qiao'e would hide and rehide anything of value, for fear that her two sisters-in-law would see it.
Otherwise, if they find out, they will find ways to get money from her.
Zhao pulled her sleeves down and stroked the bracelet on her wrist.
"Alas! This is how my mother lived when she was young. I have never dared to provoke your two aunts, but there is no other way. Since we are blood relatives, I can only be more careful."
Seeing that she knew what was going on, Song Yuntang just nodded, said hello to Wang Hongying next to him, and left the kitchen.
Wang Hongying glanced at Zhao Qiao'e's wrist with envy in her eyes.
"My sister-in-law is so lucky. This silver bracelet must weigh two taels. She is lucky to have a daughter. She knows how to care for others. I am the only one who cares for those rough boys in my family."
"Sister-in-law, don't envy me. You hold all the money earned by your four boys in your hands. You have the final say on what to buy." Zhao Qiao'e said, sighing, "There are only twelve pillars. I still have to endure for a few more years."
Zhao Qiao'e was afraid that the silver bracelet on her hand would be knocked against the wall while working, so she went to the room to get a small piece of cloth and asked Wang Hongying to help her wrap the bracelet carefully.
I have to roll up my sleeves and work today. If my two sisters-in-law from my mother's family see me, I'm afraid I'll have to tell my parents when I get home.
Every time she returned to Zhaojia Village, her parents and two brothers would remind her from time to time to subsidize her parents' home.
She is just weak, but not stupid, so every time she mentions this matter, she cries poor.
Her parents and brothers got tired of hearing this and let her go.
If her parents knew that she had a silver bracelet, they would probably come to Rongshu Village the next day and complain that she had no conscience and didn't care about her family when she was living a good life.
…
The lunch was relatively rich for the Song family. Men and women sat at two tables, and each table was filled with a bowl of chicken, a bowl of leeks, a serving of scrambled eggs with leeks, a serving of bok choy, and a bowl of winter melon.
Not only that, they also eat white rice.
In the past, we didn’t always have such good food during the Chinese New Year.
But Song Yuntang didn't eat much.
She was petite to begin with, and with the Zhao family's two aunts and cousins targeting her, they would pinch wherever she pinched, and when she spoke, saliva and food foam would fly all over the table.
Seeing that scene, she immediately lost her appetite.
She just cleared the rice in the bowl, put down her chopsticks, left the table and returned to the room where she had lived before.
Although no one lives there, the house is relatively clean, probably because it is cleaned regularly.
Xu Qingye looked at Song Yuntang's back, put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and followed her into the house.
"Didn't eat well?"
Song Yuntang looked back at the man standing at the door, shook his head and said, "Their saliva is flying all over the table. I don't want to eat anymore."
Then he asked, "Have you finished eating?"
"I'm done." Xu Qingye walked up to her and touched her head. "I'll go to town and buy you some jujube paste cake later."
Song Yuntang narrowed his eyes, looking forward to it.
"It's been a while since I last had it. I'll buy some meat and have braised pork tonight. The braised pork broth tastes great when poured over rice."
Xu Qingye looked at her gently.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
As if realizing that he had inadvertently gotten close to Xu Qingye, Song Yuntang fake coughed somewhat awkwardly.
Xu Qingye just smiled and held her hand.
"Are you leaving now?"
Song Yuntang nodded, "Okay."
The Zhao family was in the yard, and it was full of smoke and dust. She didn't want to stay here for long.
Xu Qingye touched her head again, with a doting look in his eyes.
"Then I'll go tell my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and by the way, harness the mule cart before you come out, so as to avoid another conflict with the Zhao family."
After saying that, he strode out of the room.
