Chapter 279 He Lost His Sister
After the matter at the village entrance was settled, Song Jinbao took Zhao and Song Jinyuan back home.
Zhao Qiao'e returned to the house, looked at the two bags of candy that Song Yuntang brought over, sighed, and handed them to Liu.
"Xiangyun, these two packets of snacks and candies are for your body. Take them and eat them slowly."
Liu Xiangyun was stunned. She still had a piece of candy in her mouth that she had just taken from Zhao's room.
"Mom, won't you leave some food?"
Zhao shook her head. "Mom can eat whenever she wants. But you are pregnant and it's hard work. You should eat more."
Liu took the two bags of snacks and candies, feeling a little guilty.
If she had known this, she would not have stolen it.
Then I thought of something.
She placed two packets of food on the table, put her arm around Zhao's arm with a flattering look, and looked at her eagerly.
"Mom, what else did Tang'er give you?"
Zhao glanced at her, but didn't want to tell her about the silver bracelet at this moment.
No one knew what the Zhao family would tell their parents when they returned. If they came looking for them and Liu let the secret slip, the bracelet would be lost.
The less people know, the less risk.
Moreover, through what happened today, she also realized that Liu was not a person who would settle down peacefully.
If she wasn't pregnant, she would have been scolded.
"You will know in the future."
After patting her hands, Zhao took her arm out of her arms and went out.
Liu looked at Zhao's back and snorted coldly.
He is hiding the benefits like this even though he got them.
I don’t know whether Song Yuntang really gave her something, or they said that on purpose to shut them up.
But since my aunt said it, it shouldn’t be false.
"Aren't these things going to be left to us in the future? What's there to hide?"
Liu said this and sat down sullenly.
Zhao came out of the house and Song Jinbao looked at her.
"Are you okay?"
As he spoke, he glanced into Liu's room.
Zhao sighed and shook her head, "What else could it be? No one has offended her."
She had handled the two bags of food in the room, and she knew exactly whether they had been touched or not.
He thought he was doing it without anyone noticing.
She could tell as soon as she entered the room and saw the knot on it.
…
After such a delay, it was already past noon.
Song Yuntang came out of the inspection office, stretched himself, and looked at Xu Qingye beside him with a smile.
“It’s finally over.”
Zhao's birthday was really lively.
It seemed that after she left Rongshu Village, something would happen every time she went there.
I don’t know if it’s someone else’s problem or her own problem.
After the Zhao family members were beaten with boards, they all walked out of the inspection office with pale faces and holding their buttocks.
The men were good at taking beatings, and the two uncles were just a little more careful when walking, so there wasn't any big problem.
My two aunts had given birth to children, and their buttocks were big and thick, so there was no problem with the beating.
The only exceptions were Zhao Xiaolan and Zhao Xiaotao. Being girls with frail bodies, they naturally could not bear so many beatings. After twenty beatings, it seemed as if half their lives were taken away. They had to be supported by their parents just to be able to walk forward. Their little faces were frighteningly pale.
But Zhaojia Village is much farther from the town than Rongshu Village. It is already past noon, and some of them are injured and some are disabled. It will probably take them an hour to get home, and it will be almost dark.
Second aunt Tian Cuiyun was rubbing her buttocks in pain, and when she saw Song Yuntang, her expression was still unfriendly.
"Song Yuntang, you heartless little bastard, you actually dared to report us to the government office. Wait till I see how I'll deal with you!"
"Who are you talking about, little bastard?"
"You little bastard, I told you..." After Tian Cuiyun reacted, she raised her hand to hit her, but was stopped by Xu Qingye who was standing beside her.
Song Yuntang looked at her and smiled.
"I don't know how my aunt dealt with me, but you are being dealt with badly by the officials now."
As she spoke, she glanced in the direction of the gate of the Inspection Office. After hearing what Song Yuntang said, the officials inside all smiled at her in a friendly manner.
After all, they were given silver for tea.
After laughing, he turned and looked at the Zhao family with a ferocious look.
"You're threatening me before we even leave? You still want to be beaten? The girl is showing mercy by not making a fuss. According to the laws of Daxia, those who steal property and attempt to rob others will be treated as robbers. Not only will they be imprisoned, they may also be sentenced to death! Have you ever seen a living person's head chopped off by a sword?"
Hearing this, the Zhao family seemed to recall the scene of their heads falling to the ground. They all touched their necks and shuddered. Their already pale faces became even paler.
Especially Elaine Chao and Xiaotao Chao, they were so frightened that they fell to the ground.
I no longer dared to think of going against Song Yuntang.
The uncle and aunt, who were already injured, struggled to help the two of them up. Tian Cuiyun looked at Song Yuntang with hope.
"Song Yuntang, we are your uncle and aunt. Since you brought us to the town in a mule cart, you have to send us back to Zhaojia Village!"
Song Yuntang seemed to have heard a funny joke.
"Who gave you the face to say that? Don't think I have to respect you just because you are my elder. I am not my mother. I don't know how to fight back when you bully me. So, today I can only go back by myself, my uncle, aunt, and cousins."
After saying that, he took Xu Qingye's arm and walked towards East Street, leaving behind Tian Cuiyun and the Zhao family who were stamping their feet in anger.
After sending the Zhao family to the Inspection Office, she asked Song Jinsheng to drive the mule cart back to the farm first.
Now that there is no mule cart, we can only walk to East Street.
After a trip to East Street, I had to go back to the farm to get the mule cart.
Xu Wencheng and his friends will have to borrow her mule cart to go to the county town to deliver lotus roots tomorrow.
The Huang family's affairs have not been resolved yet. The four flat iron pans that Xu Wencheng had ordered to his second brother have not yet been picked up. I'm afraid I can't go to the county town with Xu Qingye tomorrow.
If he were to take the path of imperial examinations, there would be a lot of things he would need to take care of in the future, and he would need a lot of money to support himself.
Her main task now is to make money.
She was lucky today. When she arrived at East Street, there was only one portion of jujube paste cake left. When she was about to ask the boss to pack it up for her, a voice came from the side.
"Pack me a portion of date paste cake."
Hearing the familiar voice, Song Yuntang turned his head.
Lin Gengshi didn't expect that he would meet Song Yuntang here.
"Is it you?"
Thinking of what Lin Zhaozhao had done to her some time ago, she felt a trace of guilt in her heart. She turned to look at the boss who was looking embarrassed behind the stall.
"I don't want the jujube paste cake anymore, give it to her."
"Oh, okay."
The boss quickly packed the date paste cake into oil paper and handed it to Song Yuntang.
Lin Gengshi originally wanted to pay, but Xu Qingye took the lead and paid the boss the eighteen cents for the jujube paste pastry.
Seeing this, Lin Gengshi wanted to muster up the courage to say a few words to Song Yuntang.
Song Yuntang treated him as if he were a stranger. He took the date paste cake and left with Xu Qingye, heading towards the meat stall.
She arrived first, so the date paste cake should have been hers.
Lin Gengshi looked back at her back in a daze, and felt that the two figures, one tall and one short, were extremely well matched.
Before, Zhao Zhao had been creating some misunderstandings around him, making him think that Song Yuntang was reluctant to leave the Lin family because she was greedy for the Lin family's wealth and glory and couldn't bear to give up her status as a rich lady.
So when she came to him again and again, he spoke harshly to her, looked cold, and sometimes even did things to hurt her.
As time went by, after she had been frustrated time and time again, she actually fulfilled their wish and treated them as strangers.
But he couldn't be happy at all.
The family had high hopes for the eldest brother and sent him to study at a very young age. However, they were much more tolerant towards the second son, so he had time to watch his sister grow from a baby into a big girl.
She used to love eating date paste cakes.
In order to please his only sister, he was the first one to get up every day. He would run to East Street without even having breakfast, just to buy a portion of steaming hot date paste cakes fresh from the oven.
Even though Song Yuntang has been away from the Lin family for three years, he still keeps the habit of buying a portion of jujube paste cake from time to time.
I remember when my sister was five or six years old, she was crazy about all kinds of hair ornaments for a while. He collected for her all the colors of hair ornaments he could find in town. My sister happily hugged him and kissed him hard, smiling from ear to ear.
At that time, he felt like a hero.
A hero who fights through all difficulties just to make his sister laugh.
But now, he has lost his sister.
If he could go back on time, if he had not listened to Zhao Zhao's one-sided story, if he had been more patient and tolerant towards Tang Er and tried to understand her true thoughts, would things not have turned out like this in the end?
After standing in front of the date paste pastry shop for a while, Lin Gengshi sniffed, turned around and left.
