Chapter 62: It turns out that she was meeting her lover in secret
Didn’t Xu Qingye return to Lushan Village?
Why is there still light in the yard?
Just as I was hesitating whether to go forward and say hello, the door of the courtyard was suddenly opened. Under the moonlight, a slender figure walked out of the courtyard, holding a medicine jar wrapped in a rag in his hand.
Judging from his appearance, he looked like he was out to dump out the medicine dregs.
When Xu Qingye saw the girl standing not far away, a look of surprise flashed across his originally calm face.
"Why is Miss Song here?"
Song Yuntang smiled awkwardly.
"I was walking in the village and ended up here." She pointed to Xu Qingye's yard. "Is it convenient for us to come in and sit down?"
In today's world, if a man or a woman is alone in the middle of the night, even if they are an unmarried couple, there will be people gossiping about them behind their backs, let alone a man and a woman who have not yet established a relationship.
Xu Qingye put the medicine jar in the corner, looked around, and then said, "Come in."
Song Yuntang nodded and followed him into the yard.
In order to prevent the villagers from discovering her here, Xu Qingye closed the gate.
"But your family members objected?"
He is not stupid. On the contrary, because he has been ill for many years, his insight is much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Song Yuntang, who was originally looking at the courtyard under the moonlight, turned back and looked at him in surprise.
"Did my father meet Mr. Xu when he came here today?"
Xu Qingye shook his head indifferently.
"No, I should have been in Lushan Village when my uncle came. I arrived at the private school when it was almost dark." He led Song Yuntang to sit down at the coffee table under the eaves and poured her a glass of water. "It's not hard to guess. I've been sick for so many years, and they must have thought that I wouldn't live long, so they didn't want their daughter to suffer. This is also human nature."
Song Yuntang nodded, "I don't blame them, I just don't like the way they handled it. I didn't expect to run into Brother Xu when I was out for a walk."
The bottom line is that she just doesn't care.
If she cared, she would have been hysterical long ago if the Song family had opposed her like that.
Xu Qingye raised his eyes and looked at her.
"Since there are so many obstacles to getting engaged to me, Miss Song, are you still insisting?"
Song Yuntang said calmly, "Hold on. No one knows your body better than me. When you recover, as long as you take good care of yourself, you will be no different from a normal person."
Only after I finished speaking did I realize that what I just said was ambiguous.
"Don't get me wrong, Brother Xu. I'm talking about your condition, nothing else."
It would be fine if there was no explanation. Once explained, the ambiguity seems to be even greater.
She wanted to say something, but found that no matter how much she said, it would be redundant. She raised her hand to cover her forehead, looking embarrassed.
Seeing this, Xu Qingye couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
He still remained calm and composed.
"I didn't misunderstand."
Song Yuntang put his hand down and cleared his throat.
"It's getting late. I feel much better after talking to Brother Xu. I'm going home first."
Xu Qingye stood up, took a lantern from under the eaves and placed it in Song Yuntang's hand.
"In order to avoid misunderstanding among the villagers, it is inconvenient to see you off at night. Miss Song, please be careful on your way."
Song Yuntang took the lantern, said thank you, then left the private school and walked back the way he came.
When passing a small hill, a figure suddenly sat up on the grass. Song Zhimei, who had been unable to sleep all day because of her broken engagement and wanted to come out for some fresh air, looked in surprise at Song Yuntang who was passing by with a lantern not far away.
"You're still hanging around outside this late?"
She turned and looked in the direction she came from, and when she caught a glimpse of the open gate of the private school in the distance, she suddenly smiled maliciously.
"So it was a secret meeting with her lover!"
After Song Yuntang walked away, she snorted coldly and quietly returned home.
…
The next day, Song Jinbao and his son Song Jinyuan went to the town to sell bean sprouts. Not long after they left, Mu Dong brought the news to Rongshu Village that Wu Wei was living in his house and needed further treatment.
When he came to find Song Yuntang, the villagers talked about him for a long time because he was a stranger and a man.
Song Yuntang didn't care about what these people said. He and Mu Dong chatted for a few words in front of everyone and then went home.
From that day on, her relationship with the Song family once again reached a freezing point.
We didn't say a word the whole day.
Sometimes, even when Zhao wanted to approach her and talk to her, she would avoid her. Liu could occasionally say a few words to her, but only one sentence and then she would stop talking.
It was not until the early morning of the third day, when Song Jinbao asked Song Yuntang if he wanted to go to town together, that Zhao Qiao'e turned around and took out a small bag from the room.
"These are Miss Jiang's ten handkerchiefs. I have already embroidered them. Tang'er can take them with him when he goes to town."
Song Yuntang nodded, "Okay."
He wanted to say something, but saw Song Yuntang had already left the main room with a small bag.
Seeing this, Zhao Qiao'e could only sigh helplessly.
The three of them arrived in the town. Song Jinbao and his son were carrying two loads of bean sprouts, and they were not going in the same direction as Song Yuntang.
Song Yuntang wanted to finish his work and go home as soon as possible. The bean sprouts could not be kept for too long in such hot weather, so the two sides had to act separately.
Song Jinbao looked at Song Yuntang and said, "Tang'er, be careful. Your elder brother and I will pick you up at the Lin Mansion after we sell the bean sprouts."
Thinking about the last time Huang Heyu followed him, Song Yuntang nodded.
At this time, there is no benefit in showing off.
Mu Dong's family lives in the southern suburbs of the city, while the Jiang and Lin families live in North Street.
Song Yuntang first went to Mu Dong's home in the south of the city, and asked several households along the way before he found it. Mu Dong's house looked obviously old, and the house was mostly made of wood, which did not look very solid.
Mu Dong saw Song Yuntang coming from afar and hurried out to greet him.
"Miss Song, you are here."
Song Yuntang hummed, "Where is Wu Wei?"
"Miss Song, please follow me." When Mu Dong led Song Yuntang into the yard, there were quite a few people in the yard, including Mu Dong's mother and sister, as well as Wu Wei and his mother Tian.
"Miss Song, you're here." Mu Dong's mother greeted her warmly.
Tian walked forward with a look of regret and held Song Yuntang's hand. "I liked you the last time I saw you. We were wrong to hide your muteness. Thank you for putting aside the past and treating my son."
Song Yuntang shook his head. "As a parent, I can understand that you worry about your child. It's all in the past, so please don't mention it anymore, aunt."
Tian originally wanted to test Song Yuntang's attitude, but after hearing her answer, she knew there was no hope.
But she didn't complain in her heart, after all, it was her family who made the mistake first.
"I'll take a look at Wu Wei first. After I'm done here, I'll have to go somewhere else." Song Yuntang said, pulling out his hand and walking towards Wu Wei.
When Wu Wei saw her walking towards him, he quickly clasped his hands together and looked stiff.
Seeing this, Song Yuntang hurriedly said, "Don't be nervous, sit down first."
She first took Wu Wei's pulse, checked his vocal cords, and asked about his medication over the past two days.
He was able to make some sounds, although he was still very hoarse and couldn't even utter a complete word.
But compared to the previous situation, it is already an improvement.
After all, it's only two days.
After acupuncture, he told him to practice speaking more and then left Mudong's house and went to North Street.
