Chapter 473: Husband’s compassion, elders’ protection
Song Jinbao, Zhao Qiao'e and Song Jinyuan arrived at the exact time of 9 o'clock.
Looking at her living daughter in the yard, Zhao Qiao'e hugged her and cried for a long time before letting go.
"Where has Tang'er been these past few months?"
Song Yuntang looked at her and said, "You are recuperating in a small mountain village. I am sorry that your parents are worried."
Zhao Qiao'e sniffed, "I'm glad you're back. Yesterday, I heard from others that you were back, but I couldn't believe it. This morning, I dragged your father and your eldest brother to come and see you. I didn't expect that my Tang'er was really back."
As he said this, he started crying again.
Song Jinbao said, "It's a good thing that the child is back. Don't be sad."
Zhao Qiao'e responded, then turned to look at Song Yuntang's bulging belly. She wanted to ask something, but she didn't dare to ask out loud, for fear of touching on her sad story.
Song Yuntang could only see a blurry figure and did not notice Zhao Qiao'e's eyes.
"Tang'er, do you want to go back to Rongshu Village with your parents and live for a while? Mom will be at home during this period, so she can take care of you." She asked in a low voice.
Song Yuntang raised his eyebrows slightly.
Why go to Rongshu Village for no reason?
The baby is about to be full-term, and it is not appropriate to go anywhere right now. She plans to rest for two days and go to the farm to give birth to the baby there.
Xu Qingye walked out of the house and slowly held her hand in his palm.
"Tang'er's eyes have not recovered from the injury yet, and her due date is approaching. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for her to go to Rongshu Village with her parents-in-law."
Looking at Song Yuntang's not-so-conspicuous belly, Zhao was a little surprised.
"The due date is approaching?"
Xu Qingye nodded. "If it's fast, she'll be born by the end of the month. If it's slow, it'll be next month. My father-in-law and mother-in-law will be grandparents soon. I have to make preparations after I go back."
The last sentence was said in a joking tone.
It's not that I want them to prepare a lot of things, I just want to show them my attitude.
Tang'er didn't see Zhao's eyes, but he saw it in the room just now.
When Song Yuntang heard this, he seemed to understand something. He couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and curled up his fingers to gently scratch his palm.
This action made Xu Qingye's throat dry.
He turned his head to look in her direction, and there seemed to be doting and affection in his deep eyes.
It was such a subtle emotion that she couldn't see it with her eyes.
But it did not escape the eyes of everyone in the courtyard.
Mrs. Hu watched her grandson grow up, and she had never seen him show such an expression to anyone.
She covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Tang'er is pregnant with our Qingye's child, a descendant of the Xu family. It is really not appropriate for her to go to her mother's house to take care of the baby. Otherwise, people will think that my Xu family can't afford to feed her."
Zhao Qiao'e silently calculated the days in her heart, and when she realized what was happening, she looked a little embarrassed.
"I was just overthinking it."
Song Yuntang was not surprised.
After all, Zhao was like this in the past. Whenever he encountered something, he would not ask for clarification first, but would make indiscriminate guesses.
It's as if this is happening even though it's not happening.
But if you say that she had bad intentions, it wouldn't reach that level.
Fortunately, the people in the Xu family believed her.
Mrs. Hu was a wise person. She looked at Mrs. Zhao and said, "Some things become more serious the more you speculate about them. We are a family, so we should just talk it out. We believe in Qingye's vision and Tang'er's character."
Xu Yuande didn't say anything, but just nodded to show that he agreed with her.
Zhao and Song Jinbao looked at each other, and it was impossible for them not to be touched in their hearts.
In the past, I only thought that Xu Qingye was in poor health, so old, and had a serious personality, so I was worried that Tang'er would be wronged in the future if she married him.
But now, her husband sympathizes with her and her elders protect her.
Now it seems that they are the ones who are short-sighted.
Zhao smiled sincerely and said, "Tang'er is lucky to marry into the Xu family and have so many elders who understand and care for her."
He turned and looked at Song Yuntang.
"Tang'er, I apologize for my suspicion just now. I am narrow-minded."
Song Yuntang shook his head.
"If you have any questions in your heart, just ask me directly. There is no need to beat around the bush. It will also reduce suspicion. It is getting late now. Dad, Mom, and Big Brother and Second Brother should stay and have dinner before leaving."
Zhao looked in the direction of Song Jinbao with some hesitation on her face.
Every time they came to the county town before, they would leave in a bad mood after just a few words. This time, she wanted to stay and talk to her daughter more, but the elders didn't ask to stay, and they didn't feel comfortable staying here.
Jiang came over from the backyard and just happened to hear Song Yuntang speak. She hurriedly said, "It just so happens that our family has prepared some extra dishes today. We can put two tables together in the living room later. After all, we are all family and there are no outsiders. It will be lively for everyone to eat together."
The daughter-in-law spoke, and Xu Yongwang quickly responded.
"That's right, the two relatives finally reunited with Tang'er, please stay for a meal before leaving."
"Xu Yongwang, please clean up the tables and chairs. My sister-in-law is still busy in the kitchen. I have to go help her." Jiang said, waved her hand, and turned to go to the backyard.
Since his wife had given the order, Xu Yongwang certainly did not dare to be careless.
Seeing this, Xu Yongfu hurried forward to help his brother.
Seeing this, Zhao and Song Jinbao stayed with peace of mind.
Song Jinyuan looked at Song Yuntang.
"Tang'er, you disappeared for a few months. What happened?"
Song Jinsheng looked at the three of them, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Tang'er was harmed this time by Lin Zhaozhao. Lin Zhaozhao followed Tang'er and pushed her off the cliff. Fortunately, there is a big river below. Otherwise, Tang'er would have died if she fell from such a high place while pregnant."
Hearing this, Zhao Qiao'e was furious.
"This little bitch, I underestimated her abilities before, I didn't expect her to be so vicious!"
Song Jinbao also had a gloomy face. "When I return, I will go to the Lin Mansion and ask Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin how they teach their daughter. If they don't teach their daughter, I will do it on their behalf."
Song Yuntang said calmly, "Dad is afraid that he can't discipline her. Lin Zhaozhao is dead."
"Dead..." Zhao Qiao'e looked at her in astonishment, "Dead?"
Song Yuntang nodded.
"Dead. The corpse you were worshipping in the cave before was Lin Zhaozhao's."
The expression in Zhao Qiao'e's eyes changed from surprise to grief, and then to calmness.
After all, she was my daughter whom I had raised for many years, and I was somewhat moved when I heard the news of her death.
After a long while, her slightly low voice was heard.
"It's better for her to die, so she won't cause trouble to others again."
Song Jinbao didn't say anything, just sighed.
Song Yuntang looked at the shadows in front of him.
"Dad, Mom, my second brother postponed his wedding because of me. Now that I'm back, his wedding has to be put on the agenda. Xu Qingye only has two months of leave to visit his parents after passing the palace examination. When the baby is one month old, I will almost leave with him. By then, my second brother will be married and the child will still be young. I may not be able to rush back from such a long distance."
Song Jinbao nodded.
"Okay, we'll ask someone to re-check the date when we get back."
