Chapter 93 Mother-daughter conflict deepens
Zhao Qiao'e placed the things in the basket on the table one by one. In addition to two cucumbers and leeks, there was also a small handful of dried black fungus, three eggs and a handful of bean sprouts, enough for her to cook for two meals.
Song Yuntang looked at her and said, "There are many people at home and they need food to eat. You don't have to send me anything in the future, mother."
Zhao Qiao'e looked up, a look of confusion on her face.
"Tang'er, are you still angry with your mother?"
Although Song Yuntang left the Lin family, she lived a life of luxury in the Song family. It was thought that after she left home, as long as her family did not give her any help, she would eventually return home because she could not bear the hardship outside.
But listening to the news Song Jinsheng brought home every day, she seemed to have no intention of going home at all.
It was unknown whether the Xu family did it on purpose or not, but they brought the betrothal gifts to her at this critical moment. With the Xu family's involvement, it would be even more impossible for her to go home for a while.
Maybe this girl will feel in her heart that the Xu family is sincere to her.
Since ancient times, the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words have been followed. The Xu family proposed marriage directly to the daughter of the Song family without going through the Song family. This is against ethics and also shows that they do not take the daughter's family members seriously.
Moreover, who knows if the Xu family values her ability to make money and wants to alienate her relationship with her family so that when she marries Xu Qingye in the future and loses the support of her family, they can suck blood from her?
But now that her daughter has a rift with her family, she naturally can't speak her mind directly.
Song Yuntang didn't know what Zhao Qiao'e was thinking. She put the water cup on the table and spoke calmly.
"I'm not angry."
Originally, she had decided to leave the Song family a long time ago. Because of the original owner, she might be disappointed with the Song family, but she was not angry.
"I'm glad you're not angry." Zhao Qiao'e smiled uncomfortably, walked up to her, took her hand and asked in a low voice, "Mother heard from your second brother that the Xu family came to propose to you yesterday?"
Song Yuntang hummed.
"That's true."
"Mother has no other intentions. I just came to check on you." Zhao Qiao'e carefully considered her words. "Mother feels that since you are the daughter of our Song family, the Xu family shouldn't have taken the initiative to bring the betrothal gifts to you. What can a teenage girl like you understand? They should at least inform the family, right? If you get cheated, we will still be in the dark."
Song Yuntang has his own judgment.
"Before they made the offer, they asked me what I thought, and I don't think the Xu family would lie to me."
Zhao Qiao'e frowned and let go of Song Yuntang's hand.
Sure enough, my daughter's heart was entirely on the Xu family's side.
"So, it was you who asked them to carry the betrothal gifts to the town?" She was a little angry and aggrieved, and asked with red eyes, "Tang'er, your parents have loved you with all their hearts. Since you returned to the Song family, we have treated you well. How could you do this to us?"
Song Yuntang was puzzled, "What's wrong with me?"
Zhao Qiao'e wiped her tears and spread her hands, saying, "A man and a woman are engaged, but they don't ask the woman's family. What do you think this is?"
Her eyes couldn't stop shedding tears.
"The Xu family doesn't take us seriously, and you don't protect your mother's family, but encourage their arrogance! If this matter gets out, where will my parents' face be? Where will your brother's face be? By then, I don't know how many people will poke your father and me in the spine and laugh at us for being looked down upon by our daughter's husband's family."
Song Yuntang didn't think about it that way at all, he just felt that what Zhao said was a bit exaggerated.
"Is this not as serious as you say?"
Zhao Qiao'e said sternly, "How could there be no one? We are your parents, how could we harm you?"
Song Jinsheng looked cautiously in the direction of the two people.
"Mom, please don't scare my sister."
Song Yuntang said patiently, "I know you won't harm me, but please don't always interfere with me under the guise of doing good for me. I think that sooner or later I will move my household registration out. From now on, our two families will treat each other as relatives. This way, there will be no conflicts between the two sides. Isn't that good?"
Zhao Qiao'e didn't understand.
"My own daughter hasn't even married yet, but she has to move out of her household registration and live alone with her parents as a relative. Go and see whose daughter is like this?"
Song Yuntang said without thinking, "Other families have never lost their daughters."
This sentence undoubtedly touched Zhao Qiao'e's sore spot. She cried and said, "Do you think I volunteered to abandon my daughter? I didn't want to. Who knew that the Lin family would cause such a thing! Wasn't it because I was pregnant with you and went out to make a living to make life easier for my family? Why are you blaming me?"
Looking at her crying and making a fuss, Song Yuntang took a deep breath.
Just then, Mu Dong came home carrying water. Song Yuntang looked at him and said, "Mu Dong, after you pour the water into the vat, take the two baskets of shampoo water outside to the shop. I am worried about Mu Qiu going alone."
Seeing outsiders coming, Zhao Qiao'e quickly held back her tears and tried her best not to let Mu Dong see her face.
Mu Dong felt the atmosphere in the yard and without asking any questions, he quickly poured the water, put the bucket under the eaves, and then carried two baskets out of the yard and went towards the shop.
Only then did Song Yuntang look serious at Zhao Qiao'e.
"I admit that what I said just now was a bit excessive, but before I left Rongshu Village, I said that I would never go back, and I also asked Lord Zhu about the relocation of his household registration in front of you."
"Why? Is it because your parents are against your marriage with Mr. Xu?" Zhao Qiao'e cried, "Aren't marriages for girls finalized after many setbacks? Why can't you give your parents some time to accept it?"
Song Yuntang frowned, "Do you think it's just because of this matter?"
"What else could it be?" Zhao Qiao'e raised her voice. "Zhao Zhao? How many times a year can she come home? Mother also said that she will trust you in the future. Why can't you tolerate her?"
Lin Zhaozhao had never disobeyed the Song family when she was at them. Although she showed some temper when she went to Rongshu Village last time, one had to admit that she was much less of a worry than Song Yuntang.
