Chapter 70 Fiancé
Song Yuntang waved his hand, "It's better not to trouble Brother Xu. It's getting late now. By the time we get to town, it might be dark."
Xu Yongwang heard this and said, "Then you have to let him go with you, otherwise it will be unsafe for a weak woman like you."
"Let's go. I'll go to town with you." Xu Qingye stepped forward and walked out of the private school before her. He seemed to have thought of something and looked back at Xu Yongwang. "Dad, wait for me here. I want to move back home when I come back from town."
Xu Yongwang nodded, "Okay, I'll pack your things here for you."
Looking at the three people leaving, he smiled happily, hummed a little tune, and went to the room to pack up Xu Qingye's things.
…
Zhao Qiao'e remained silent the whole way, just wiping her tears, and followed Song Yuntang as if she had done something wrong.
Song Yuntang ignored her.
After all, she has not always been raised by the Song family. There are too many barriers between her and this family. Since she is not comfortable here, some distance might be better.
There weren't many things Song Yuntang wanted to take away, just two sets of clothes he had just bought, a pair of new shoes, a white jade hairpin that he hadn't sold at the market last time, and half of the medicinal herbs left over from making shampoo water last time.
In addition, there is the four taels and one qian of silver earned in recent times.
As for shampoo, she felt it was too heavy so she didn't plan to take it. She just took out a bottle from a small bottle and put it in her bag.
"Sister-in-law, you can use this shampoo and sell it in the village. You can keep the money from the sale."
"Brother Huang Douya has already learned how to make bean sprouts. He can continue to do this business. As long as he doesn't reveal the method of growing bean sprouts to others, he should be able to make money for a while and help the family get through the difficult times."
"As for the Jiang family's handkerchief, after mother has embroidered it, you can ask big brother to take it to town. You can send it directly to the Jiang family, or I can help deliver it."
While packing, Song Yuntang gave instructions to his family in the calmest tone.
After all, before she left, the family had already found a way to support themselves, so they had no problem getting through this famine.
Except for the brothers Song Jinsheng and Song Jinyuan who were not at home, the whole family watched Song Yuntang pack up his things and move out of the house. Zhao Qiao'e just wiped her tears silently at first, but when she saw Song Yuntang and Xu Qingye leaving, she suddenly burst into tears.
"Tang'er, I was wrong. I don't object to your marriage with Mr. Xu. Please don't leave, okay?"
Song Yuntang paused and looked back at her.
"The reason I'm leaving is not just because of this incident. We have different ideas in many aspects, including life and concepts, and we haven't built trust with each other. If you still want to maintain the current relationship, living separately is the best option. I won't leave you alone. I will tell you when I confirm the address. In the future, you will have a place to stay when you go to town."
After saying that, he tightened the bag on his shoulders and walked towards the town with Xu Qingye.
Xu Qingye was carrying a large bag of medicinal herbs. He looked at her and asked, "Have you planned the future livelihood of your family? Have you been planning to leave for a long time?"
Song Yuntang hummed.
"I do have this idea, but I haven't found the right opportunity yet."
The main reason was that the conditions did not allow it at that time, and she did not know much about the place and had no foundation at all. But now it is different. Several people in the town know her medical skills, and if she does some small business, it should not be a problem for her to support herself.
"Have you decided where to live?" Xu Qingye asked again.
Song Yuntang nodded, "I've asked someone to find out for me. I definitely can't afford to live in a better location. I'll probably live in the suburbs."
"Is there enough silver?"
"It's enough. I can rent a small courtyard and renovate it myself. I can usually see patients and do business. My life should not be worse than that in Rongshu Village." Song Yuntang said with a look of longing on his face.
Seeing her calm demeanor, Xu Qingye nodded and said, "Okay."
His family always wanted him to get married, and his parents nagged him all the time. He moved to a private school for some quiet time, and lived there for several years. Except for the Chinese New Year and other holidays, he seldom went home.
So he could probably understand Song Yuntang's approach.
The two did not stop on the way. After arriving at Cile Town, they went directly to the suburbs in the south of the city to find Mu Dong.
Mu Dong was very surprised to see that Song Yuntang was going to move to the town so soon.
"After Miss Song explained this to me this morning, I only asked about the nearby courtyards. There are two suitable small courtyards, but I don't know if Miss Song is satisfied."
Song Yuntang looked at him and asked, "What kind of yard is it? Can I go and have a look?"
"Okay, I'll take you there." Mu Dong looked at the tall man beside her, "Who is this?"
Song Yuntang glanced in the direction of Xu Qingye and said frankly, "He is my fiancé, Xu Qingye."
I'm afraid I'll have to stay here for a while, so saying this can save me a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Looking at the generous and calm woman beside him, Xu Qingye frowned slightly.
It was like this when she left the Song family, and it was like this when she introduced her identity to others. It seemed that these things could not cause her emotional changes. This made him curious, and he didn't know what kind of people and things could enter her heart.
Mu Dong looked at Xu Qingye with a smile.
"Brother, why don't you leave your things at my house first? Even if we find a yard later, I'm afraid it won't be habitable for a while."
He felt a little puzzled. Didn’t Wu Wei’s mother say that she was discussing marriage with the Song family with the help of matchmaker Zhou some time ago?
How come you already have a fiancé so soon?
Wu Wei in the yard was equally surprised and looked in Xu Qingye's direction several times.
The bag in Song Yuntang's hand was not heavy, as it contained valuables and personal belongings, so she did not put it down. She looked at Xu Qingye.
"Brother Xu, why don't you go back first? It will be dark by the time you get home later."
Xu Qingye paused as he placed the herbs by the gate, then looked in the direction of Mu Dong and said calmly, "I'd better help you find the yard before returning."
Mu Dong said with a smile.
"Brother Xu is really caring. Miss Song's fortune is still to come."
After placing the herbs at Mu Dong's house, the three of them planned to go check out the yard. Mu Dong's mother, Cui, who was cooking in the kitchen with Wu Wei's mother, Tian, ran out.
"Mudong, take care of the yard later and bring Miss Song and Brother Xu to our house for dinner."
"Okay, Mom."
Mu Dong said, quickening his pace.
Xu Qingye and Song Yuntang were at the back. He asked softly, "Miss Song seems to be familiar with the Mu family? They seem to be quite polite to you."
"I was the one who saved Mu Dong's mother." Song Yuntang looked at him, "Since we are now engaged, Brother Xu, please don't always call me Miss Song. It will inevitably cause misunderstandings if outsiders hear it."
Xu Qingye was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"good."
Song Yuntang thought for a moment and then said, "There is one more thing I want to confess to you. The man in Mu Dong's yard is called Wu Wei. He was my previous blind date. I am currently treating his muteness. He will leave in about half a month, and we should not have any more interactions after that."
Xu Qingye looked straight at her with calm eyes.
"You don't have to explain so much to me. I believe you."
