Chapter 342 Wait for me to come back
In fact, before Song Yuntang overthrew the Huang family, Song Zhimei had indeed escaped. At that time, she lived in the Huang family's woodshed. She was hungry and cold every day, and was often bullied and retaliated by the servants of the Huang family. Her previous lover would always sneak into the woodshed at night to torture her.
She was worried that if she was exposed, Mr. Huang would want her life.
One night, she knocked her lover who was lying on top of her unconscious, then put on his clothes and ran away.
Under the circumstances at that time, she was too embarrassed to go back to Rongshu Village, and she was penniless, so she could only disguise herself and go to the town to beg. As a result, she met Ma, who had been kicked out of the house.
Not only was it easy to meet acquaintances in the town, but it was also difficult to get anything, so the mother and daughter decided to come to the county town to make a living.
But when I arrived in the county town, I found that these days, begging for food also has its own rules.
Most of the things that were begged every day were taken away by the beggar leader.
Both mother and daughter were hungry.
In addition, Song Zhimei was already experiencing pregnancy symptoms and could not walk too far, so she stayed for the time being.
Looking at Song Zhimei, who was emaciated after being tortured for several months, Song Yuntang did not feel any sympathy. She took the horsewhip from Xu Wencheng and pretended to whip her, trying to scare her away.
Unexpectedly, Song Zhimei was not scared away.
She huddled beside the carriage, protecting her head with one hand and her stomach with the other.
Seeing this, Song Yuntang paused with his raised hand.
"Are you pregnant?"
Song Zhimei was sobbing and sobbing.
"It's Huang Heyu's child. I originally wanted to go back to find him, but I heard that the Huang family had left Cile Town, and I couldn't find them."
Song Yuntang returned the whip to Xu Wencheng, jumped off the carriage, and reached out to grab Song Zhimei's wrist.
Fortunately, Song Zhimei had been well taken care of in the Song family and had a good physical foundation. After being tortured for several months, the fetus was still stable.
"It is true that she is already more than three months pregnant."
He then took out a small piece of silver from his purse and wanted to throw it directly to her, but when he saw two beggars not far away looking over here, he gave it to Xu Wencheng who was standing beside him, "Wencheng, go buy some buns for them, and we'll continue our journey after you come back."
"Okay." Xu Wencheng took the silver and left.
Perhaps Ma felt guilty in front of Song Yuntang. After she helped Song Zhimei up, she huddled together and stood behind her with her head down, trying to use her body to block Song Yuntang's sight.
But in fact, Song Yuntang had recognized her a long time ago.
"Second aunt, it's not easy to be wandering around outside, right?"
Seeing that she recognized him, Ma didn't hide it anymore. She just muttered in an unnatural voice, "It's all because of you."
Song Yuntang found it funny.
"You've come to this point, and you still don't realize where you went wrong?"
Seeing that Ma was still stubborn and stiff-necked, Song Zhimei pulled her sleeve.
"mother!"
Ma then cleared her throat reluctantly and said, "I shouldn't have trusted the Ma family so easily."
After being divorced by Song Fulai, she was certainly angry, but the Ma family first withheld her money and then kicked her out.
Only then did she realize that for a married woman, her husband's family is her final destination.
Only by managing your family well can you have a good ending.
I think back to the days when I was busy in the Song family.
Although she regretted it, it was too late.
Fortunately, she still has her daughter to depend on, otherwise she would have no hope at all.
Seeing Ma's expression, Song Yuntang didn't say anything else.
After a while, Xu Wencheng divided the four buns he bought between the two of them.
Perhaps she was really hungry, Song Zhimei picked up the bun and started to eat it, no longer showing her previous arrogance.
After they had almost finished their buns, she got on the carriage and asked Xu Wencheng to drive away.
After the carriage left, two beggars came running over from a distance and started beating the mother and daughter.
"Who told you to eat it all? You haven't handed over the food and silver to the boss yet, and you dare to eat alone here! I'll beat you to death!"
Ma cried and shouted to protect Song Zhimei who was standing beside her.
"Don't hit my daughter, please don't hit her. My daughter is pregnant. You can't hit her. It will kill her."
The two men said viciously, "If that's the case, then you, as her mother, will take the beating on her behalf."
Song Zhimei knelt on the ground crying and tried to stop them.
"Stop fighting, I beg you to stop fighting."
But she is a woman after all, how can she stop two men?
The two beggars punched and kicked Ma for a quarter of an hour. Perhaps they had calmed down, so they spat and turned around and ran away.
Although there were people passing by, no one came forward.
Song Zhimei held Ma, who was beaten black and blue and had already fainted, in her arms, crying and shaking her, "Mom, wake up, don't scare me, Mom."
She had just been hungry for too long and wanted to have a full meal.
Why is it so difficult?
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have provoked Song Yuntang.
…
Song Yuntang took Nian'er and Xu Wencheng wandering around the streets for an entire afternoon and bought almost everything on the list.
She spent a lot of money on shopping these two days. Fortunately, Jiang Surao and the Yang family had joined her business before. After paying back the 3,000 taels of silver owed to the county government, she had more than 5,800 taels of silver left, plus the money she had saved.
He gave Song Jinsheng and Tu Shi two hundred taels to open a shop in the provincial capital. He spent eighty taels on buying horses and nearly fifty taels on purchasing supplies for the clinic. Now he still had five thousand five hundred and sixty-six taels left.
As for the expenses of building factories and ordering materials in the village, they were covered by part of the profits from the wine shop.
The next morning, just after finishing breakfast, there was a knock on the door.
Song Yuntang hurriedly asked Xu Wencheng to harness the carriage, asked Nian'er to open the door, and went into the house to pack his things.
Although she said she was packing, there was actually not much to take. Just in case, she took the medicine box with her.
"Xu Qingye, we are going to the provincial capital. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be back the day after tomorrow."
Xu Qingye hummed, "Be careful on the road."
"I will."
She packed the medicine box and slung it over her shoulder, then hurried to the yard. When she passed Xu Qingye, she suddenly stopped.
There was a cunning flash in her clear eyes. She pulled Xu Qingye's clothes, stood on tiptoe and kissed the man on the cheek.
"Wait until I come back."
After saying that, he quickly walked out the door.
The man who had always been strict with himself and steady and self-controlled was also stunned at this moment. He raised his hand to touch the cheek that had been touched by the girl's soft lips, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
He followed Song Yuntang in a few steps and took the medicine box from her shoulder.
"I'll take you out."
When the courtyard gate opened, Jiang Surao saw Xu Qingye who had carried the medicine box for Song Yuntang.
The man had a smile in his eyes, and his expression was gentle, as soft as jade.
I couldn't help but feel envious.
Such a relationship between husband and wife is really good.
The man did not think highly of himself because of his status as a scholar. His maturity and stability could give his wife more tolerance and understanding.
I don't have much knowledge or contact with Xu Qingye.
But during the few times they met, I always felt that he was like a mountain or an ocean in front of Song Yuntang.
He didn't say much, but he gave her enough respect and confidence, allowing her to let go and do what she wanted to do.
