Chapter 299 Dad Wants to Beat Me
Song Yuntang waved his hand.
"Ten pounds of rice is not much, just give it to Aunt and Shunzi to eat. You don't have to return the money. There are only seven days left in September. After my parents-in-law leave, I will make up for seven days of food."
Wu said hurriedly, "How can this be so embarrassing?"
"Auntie's cooking skills are so good, I was worried that you wouldn't want to help with cooking in the future."
Having said this, she turned around and went back home to continue improving her rouge.
…
When Xu Qingye arrived home, Xu Yongwang was still growing vegetables, Xu Wencheng was watering them nearby, and smoke was rising from the direction of the kitchen.
Looking at the father and son busy at the corner of the courtyard wall, surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Dad, Wencheng, why are you here?"
Xu Yongwang did not raise his head.
Song Yuntang poked his head out of the house with a smile.
"Not only Wencheng and Dad, but Mom is here too, and she's busy in the kitchen."
Xu Qingye had a faint smile on his face.
"Did Tang'er know that parents were coming?"
The girl tilted her head playfully and smiled sweetly, "Before I came here, I discussed it with my parents and asked them to come to the county town to live after they arranged the land at home. Are you surprised?"
Xu Qingye smiled gently.
"surprise."
"Is Qingye back?" Jiang may have heard the noise in the front yard, and hurried over from the backyard. When she saw her eldest son, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Xu Qingye looked at her, "Mom."
"Hey." Jiang smiled and responded, looking at the people in the yard, "The chicken in the kitchen is almost ready. Wash your hands quickly after you finish your work. It's cold today and the food will get cold easily."
Xu Yongwang quickened his movements.
"immediately."
Song Yuntang put the rouge in her hand aside and went to the backyard.
Seeing this, Xu Qingye quickly followed.
Xu Wencheng glanced in the direction of the two men, shook his head and clicked his tongue twice.
"Brother is completely hopeless."
When Xu Yongwang heard this, he slapped the man in the face without caring whether his hands were clean or not.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little brat? What do you mean your elder brother is hopeless? His illness has obviously been cured, can't you think a little better of your elder brother?"
Xu Wencheng covered his head in grievance.
"Dad, can you please stop beating people up before you figure out what's going on?"
Xu Yongwang didn't understand what he meant.
"Did I hit you by mistake?"
"I called the wrong number from the beginning." Xu Wencheng said, "I said this because I saw that my elder brother and sister-in-law were inseparable. I didn't say this about my elder brother's health."
Xu Yongwang said awkwardly, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Xu Wencheng snorted.
"Dad, why didn't you ask me before you beat me?"
Xu Yongwang raised his eyebrows, "You little brat, you want to argue with your father, right?"
Xu Wencheng put the water scoop into the bucket and ran to the backyard.
"Mom, help me, Dad is going to beat me."
Xu Yongwang shook his head helplessly, "This brat."
After saying that, he picked up the watering can in the bucket and watered the last few seedlings he had planted, then carried the bucket to the backyard.
Jiang came to the main hall with the pottery jar full of boiling water, muttering to herself.
"Xu Yongwang, Wencheng is already an adult. Don't keep hitting him on the head. He's not very smart to begin with, and it will get even worse if you keep hitting him."
Xu Wencheng raised his eyebrows, looking incredulous.
"Mom, why do you say that to me? Why am I not smart?"
And Xu Yongwang always says that.
"My wife is right. I understand."
Jiang turned and looked at him again.
"And you too, you are already quite old, and you hit someone because of your own mistake. It's ok that you didn't apologize to the child, but you even took advantage of your age in front of your daughter-in-law. Don't you have any shame?"
After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen.
Hearing this, Xu Wencheng smiled proudly and playfully stuck out his tongue at Xu Yongwang.
Xu Yongwang gave Xu Wencheng a warning look and hurried to catch up with Jiang.
"Wife, don't listen to that brat's nonsense. I'm not taking advantage of my age. Besides, whether I'm old or not may not be clear to others, but don't you know?"
Jiang was shocked. She looked towards the main hall and lowered her voice, "The children are here. Don't keep saying these dirty words."
Xu Yongwang chuckled with an innocent look on his face.
"I didn't say anything obscene, my wife, you just thought it was wrong, didn't you?"
Jiang glared at him unhappily.
"If you keep doing this, don't get in my bed tonight."
Hearing this, Xu Yongwang immediately became obedient.
It is easy to ask him not to go up to the roof and tear off the tiles, but it is absolutely impossible to ask him not to go to his wife's bed.
For lunch, we had chicken stewed with mushrooms, stir-fried radish with oil residue, and white rice.
The chicken was fresh and fragrant, and the stir-fried radish with oil residue was mixed with a few dried chili segments that Song Yuntang brought. It was the best dish to eat when mixed with rice.
After dinner, Song Yuntang digested the food and continued to study her rouge.
It was not until the next morning that she finally improved the rouge to a level that satisfied her. After writing down the recipe, she made thirty boxes of it.
…
Two days later, she asked Xu Wencheng to help her load the twenty wrapped gift boxes onto the mule cart.
After changing into appropriate clothes and tidying up a bit, he walked out of the house.
The girl was wearing a lotus-colored dress, with bright eyes and white teeth, and a radiant look.
In the yard, Xu Yongwang, Jiang and his wife, and Xu Wencheng were all stunned.
"Sister-in-law, you are like a fairy in the sky today." Xu Wencheng said blankly.
When Jiang saw that she was about to go out, she suddenly felt worried.
"Where are you going, Tang'er? Why don't you stay at home today? There are many wolves and tigers outside, so don't let anything unexpected happen."
Song Yuntang smiled.
"Mother, I am going to the Zhu Mansion today to give a gift to the county magistrate's wife. Who is so bold as to set his sights on the county magistrate's wife?"
"Then you must be careful when you are out there." Jiang was still worried, "How about I go with you?"
Xu Yongwang said, "Tang'er girl went to see the county magistrate's wife for something, why are you going there? She doesn't even know you."
Song Yuntang also held her hand.
"Don't worry, mom. Wencheng is with me. Nothing will happen. I'll be back as soon as I finish dealing with things over there."
"Okay." She also reminded Xu Wencheng, "Wencheng, take good care of your sister-in-law."
"Yes, mother."
Xu Wencheng helped Song Yuntang onto the mule cart, then jumped on himself, flicked the reins and drove the mule cart towards Zhu's mansion.
The day before, Song Yuntang had already submitted a visiting card to the Zhu Mansion.
This is considered an extremely complicated etiquette in a wealthy family. Fortunately, the original owner had stayed in the Lin Mansion before. When she was young, Mr. Lin specially invited a nanny from the county town to Cile Town to teach her the rules. She taught her this etiquette.
At that time, Mr. Lin put a lot of thought into providing some help to Lin Jingyao so that the original owner could marry into a wealthy family in the future.
