Chapter 96 The Days of Disadvantage Are Yet to Come
Zhao Qiao'e glanced at him and said, "No matter how good Zhao Zhao is, Tang'er is your biological daughter. How can you not care about her at all?"
Song Jinbao sighed.
"It's not that I don't want to pay attention to her. Our daughter's heart is too cold. We can't warm it up. We have to be careful. Maybe she will be happy to go and see her after a long time. If you contact her too frequently and control her too much, she will not like it."
"You're the only one who understands!" Zhao Qiao'e said unhappily, "I asked you to go to the Xu family to talk but you refused to go. Which family would marry off their daughter like this?"
Song Jinbao raised his eyes and glanced at her.
"I'm not saying anything harsh, but we haven't done anything yet and she's already cut off ties with her family. If I really take care of this matter, she'll have nothing to do with us from now on."
Hearing what he said, Zhao Qiao'e had no way to refute.
She waved her hands and said in annoyance, "Forget it, forget it. I can't control it anymore. Let her be."
In another room, Liu Xiangyun listened to several people talking and felt a little unbalanced.
When she got married, the Song family gave a dowry of six taels, but when she got married, her family didn't give her a single penny and gave it all to her good-for-nothing brother. When she came to the Song family, she only brought some clothes to change into, but it was completely different when she came to Song Yuntang.
It’s not that she can’t stand Song Yuntang doing well.
However, as the daughter of the Song family, it is indeed against the rules for her to keep all the betrothal gifts in her own hands.
It is obvious that the family is in need of money right now. Among the three brothers-in-law, one is of marriageable age, and the other two are still in school. She, the eldest sister-in-law, is pregnant. Since Song Yuntang has the ability and talent, she should help her parents' family first.
After all, she is the daughter of the Song family.
After you get married, you still have to rely on your natal family to maintain your reputation.
"Husband, how about we ask our parents to separate the family?"
Song Jinyuan was shocked.
"Why?"
Liu Xiangyun analyzed it with him.
"Look, now I can sew a little, and you have the skill to grow bean sprouts. Although it will be hard in the early stage, we can make money together and have some money left. If we continue to live with our parents, when we are old enough to get married, we will still have many things to spend money on. By then, we may not even see any money even if we work hard all year round."
Song Jinyuan thought about it and shook his head.
"No, Tang'er said before that bean sprouts are only temporary. When others figure it out, we won't have such a good business. Besides, you are about to give birth. If we separate, I will be busy with things outside. Who will take care of you and the child?"
Liu Xiangyun thought about it and realized that what Song Jinyuan said made sense, so she put the idea aside for the time being.
"That's what I said. Since it's not feasible, let's talk about it later."
…
After Song Yuntang returned home carrying food for the chickens and ducks, he mixed it with fish bones from lunch and poured it into the cage.
Then he started working with Mudong and Muqiu.
After filling the remaining bamboo jars, the medicinal ingredients for the shampoo were almost used up, leaving only half a small jar, which Song Yuntang asked Mu Dong to move to the shop.
Dinner was white rice porridge, leftover fish from lunch, and bean sprouts.
Because Song Yuntang was the only one at home today, Mu Dong and Mu Qiu did not stay here for dinner. They went home after finishing their work here. Before leaving, Song Yuntang shared half of the bean sprouts with them and also gave them the two sets of clothes he had bought.
The two said that she should not pay for the clothes and insisted on deducting it from their own wages. Song Yuntang couldn't resist and temporarily agreed verbally.
She served a small bowl of porridge to the puppy and then sat down to eat. While eating, she would occasionally look down at the furry little thing at her feet.
Later, she had chickens, ducks and two dogs at home, so she didn't feel lonely.
After dinner and washing the dishes, she used the wooden boards cut by Song Jinsheng to piece together a small square box. After filling it with soil, she planted the leeks with roots that Zhao Qiao'e brought her into the wooden box.
Divide it into four small handfuls, just enough for planting.
After watering, I placed the square box under the eaves, thinking that I could put the chives on the windowsill before going out tomorrow to avoid being exposed to the sun.
…
The next day, Song Yuntang got up early, opened the window, put the leek box on the windowsill, watered it, and went to the kitchen to cook porridge.
When I was feeding the chickens today, I picked up an egg and a duck egg from the cage.
From now on, we will not only have chicken eggs to eat, but also duck eggs.
Breakfast was rice porridge, a boiled egg, a cucumber, and a few slices of braised pork.
"Xiaobai, Dahuang, it's time to eat."
She tossed and turned in bed last night, racking her brains but couldn't think of any good names, so she gave the two dogs names that suited their fur color.
The black dog is called Xiaobai and the yellow dog is called Dahuang.
Although yesterday was their first night here, the two dogs were relatively well behaved and didn't make much noise.
After having breakfast early, Song Yuntang closed the gate and was about to go to the shop when she saw Li, who was sitting at the door next door to enjoy the cool air, greeting her.
"Miss Song, are you going to the shop to get busy?"
Song Yuntang was a little surprised. Usually, when these people saw her, they would roll their eyes to the sky, but today, they actually greeted her.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
However, adhering to the principle of "it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain", she still politely replied, "I am going to the shop."
Li asked again with a gossipy look on his face.
"Where is Miss Song's shop? How many people are there now? When I have time, I will go to your place and take a look."
Song Yuntang smiled awkwardly, "We just opened today, and I don't know how the business will be in the future. I'm embarrassed to tell my aunt for now."
After hearing this, Li sat up straight.
"We have someone in Jiaqing who is honest and reliable. Miss Song can call on him if she needs help in the future."
The tone didn't sound like begging at all, but rather like informing her.
They were all neighbors, and since they had asked again, Song Yuntang couldn't refuse directly, so he just played Tai Chi and said, "My shop doesn't lack people for now. If you need someone in the future, I will consider it. I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you anymore."
After she finished speaking, she locked the gate and left.
Aunt Li looked at her from behind, squinting her eyes with a hint of contemptuous smile on her lips.
"It's foolish to break up with your family for a man. You will suffer in the future."
Tian Qingyou, who was standing at the door, looked at Li and said in disbelief, "Mom, she agreed right away?"
Mrs. Li was very proud. "I, your mother, have personally come to help. How can there be any problem? Just wait. Since mother has asked for you, and our two families are close, she will definitely think of you first when she needs someone."
