Chapter 23 It's Really Not Fake
The time when she met Huang Heyu was the only time Song Yuntang went to the mountains alone. Now she was going there alone again. Zhao Qiao'e was of course worried. She quickly put the sewing basket on the table and trotted to Song Mazi's house to call Song Jinsheng.
Zhao Qiao'e knocked on the door of Song Mazi's house, "Jinsheng, Tang'er has gone to the mountains, you can go and check on her."
Song Jinsheng heard the sound and hurriedly opened the door.
"How long has Tang'er been gone?"
Zhao Qiao'e wiped the sweat off her head and said, "I just left. My mother's waist has been a little sore these past two days, so I can't catch up with her. You can go with her to check on her."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After Song Jinsheng finished speaking, he said something to Song Mazi and trotted off into the mountains.
Cui came to the door with tea in hand, "Come in and sit down?"
Zhao Qiao'e took the tea from her hand and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I won't sit down. I am worried about Xiangyun being alone at home."
"I heard Zhaozhao came this morning?" Cui asked with a gossipy look on her face.
Zhao Qiao'e paused while drinking water and nodded, "Yes, it's coming."
Cui sighed, "Tang'er is so ignorant. Zhao Zhao rarely comes back, why did she hit someone? I heard that there was a lot of noise, and Zhao Zhao left crying?"
Zhao Qiao'e looked a little uncomfortable, "This matter is not what everyone sees."
Hearing people outside talking about her daughter, Zhao Qiao'e felt a little complicated, and she felt more heartache and guilt towards Song Yuntang.
Tang'er has always cared about her reputation. If it weren't for the occasional rumors in the village, she wouldn't have become so desperate now.
Ultimately, it is because these parents have not done their job well.
If she had been given more trust at the beginning, she wouldn't have wanted to commit suicide.
Cui looked at her and asked in a low voice, "What happened? I heard many people say they saw Tang'er beating someone up."
Zhao Qiao'e handed the teacup back to Cui with a cold face.
"Zhao Zhao was the first to stir up today's incident. As the person involved, I naturally know more than the people outside. Sister-in-law, please don't listen to the nonsense of those people outside. I have something else to do at home, so I will go back first."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Cui looked at her back, stunned.
"Zhao Zhao started it? Zhao Zhao has always been sensible and well-behaved, why would she deliberately start a fight?" She sighed, shook her head and closed the gate, "So this person, what's true can't be false, and what's false can't be true either."
Song Mazi, who was busy in the yard, glanced in Cui's direction.
"Mother, what are you mumbling about?"
Looking at her son, Cui sighed again, "Mother is thinking, it would be great if I could find you a daughter-in-law to take home, so that when I am gone, there will be someone who understands and takes care of you."
Song Mazi picked up the towel hanging around his neck and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Don't think like that, Mom. I want to live to be a hundred years old."
Cui smiled helplessly, "If you can't marry a daughter-in-law, it's meaningless to live to be a hundred years old. If you go back, you won't know how to face your father."
After saying that, he went to the kitchen to put the teacups.
Song Mazi glanced in the direction of his mother, then turned his head back to work.
But there was a thought of his own in his eyes.
…
Song Jinsheng found Song Yuntang at the foot of the mountain by the river. She was lying on the ground digging something.
"Tang'er, I finally found you."
When Song Yuntang heard the voice, he was startled at first, then turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. "Why are you here? Aren't you helping Brother Mazi?"
"Mother was worried about you going into the mountains alone, so she asked me to come and take a look." Song Jinsheng squatted down beside her and looked at the white worm-like rhizome that Song Yuntang had dug out from the ground. "What is this?"
"Earth silkworm?" Song Yuntang answered while digging.
She had found this cluster of silkworms with great difficulty and only dug out a few of them.
Song Jinsheng was stunned for a moment, "Can this thing be eaten?"
Song Yuntang nodded, "Not only can it be eaten, it can also be used as medicine, and it tastes good."
Song Jinsheng took the small hoe from Song Yuntang doubtfully.
"Let me dig it, and you handle it on the side."
Song Yuntang did not refuse, "Then be careful not to damage the roots."
"good."
Song Jinsheng dug very carefully. After Song Yuntang had processed all the silkworms, he took the basket to the river to wash them. The plump white silkworms looked like real silkworms, which were extremely pleasing to the eye.
The yield from this cluster of silkworms is not low, enough to make two plates of stir-fry.
The two continued to move forward in search of wild vegetables and medicinal herbs.
Song Jinsheng glanced in the direction of Song Yuntang, "Tang'er, are you still angry with us for what happened this morning?"
"No." Song Yuntang said nonchalantly.
Looking at her calm and composed appearance, Song Jinsheng felt a little uncomfortable. People would not be hysterical only when they don't care.
My sister is looking at this situation right now.
She seems indifferent to everything, but if you say she doesn't care about her family, that's not entirely true.
All in all, it's quite contradictory.
"Did we do something wrong and disappoint you?"
Song Yuntang shook his head, "You are all fine, it's my own problem."
Song Jinsheng raised his eyebrows, "Do you still want to go back to the Lin family?"
Song Yuntang glanced at him dimly, as if he were a fool, and ultimately did not answer his question.
Song Jinsheng became anxious and trotted to catch up with her.
"You don't really have such an idea, do you?"
"If I leave, won't you have one less trouble?" Song Yuntang climbed up the rock in front by climbing a small tree nearby.
Song Jinsheng followed up, "How can you be a trouble? I never thought you were a trouble."
Song Yuntang didn't continue his words. She stopped, looked up at the tree in front of her that was about ten meters high, and used her hand to block the glaring sunlight shining through the leaves.
"There are many fruits on this wild persimmon tree, but they are not ripe yet."
Song Jinsheng glanced at the tree.
"Wild persimmons are sour and astringent. What's so good about them?"
"What can't be eaten these days?" But she didn't want to eat it directly. Song Yuntang looked around and wanted to remember this place. "I hope I can come back in a month. The wild persimmons here haven't been picked clean yet."
Song Jinsheng disagreed, "Don't worry, in previous years many wild persimmons rotted in the mountains and no one wanted them. There are more than one wild persimmon tree on this mountain."
"This year is different from previous years. Maybe someone will want it this year." Song Yuntang said as he continued walking forward.
Song Jinsheng followed closely behind her carrying a basket.
"Tang'er, there are not many people coming here, be careful not to get scratched by the branches on both sides."
Song Yuntang bent down and picked up a stick, pushed aside the vines and bushes on both sides, and walked forward while knocking on the tree trunks on both sides.
"Being scratched by a branch is no big deal. As long as you don't encounter a snake, everything will be fine."
After hearing this, Song Jinsheng took a few quick steps closer to her and paid close attention to the movements around him.
