Chapter 275: I want the horse to run but I don't want it to eat grass
When Xu Qingye came out and told Zhao and Song Jinbao that he was going back with Song Yuntang, the food on the table outside had been eaten up and everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks one after another.
The Zhao family had just had a quarrel and now that they had filled their stomachs, there was nothing to say if they continued to sit here, so they said goodbye to Zhao and left first.
After Xu Qingye had harnessed the mule cart, he looked toward the room and called out, "Tang'er, we can set off now."
"Hey, here we come." Song Yuntang came to the courtyard, "Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, uncle and aunt, we are leaving."
All members of the Song family stood up to see them off.
Grandma Lin pulled her aside as they walked out, saying, "Go slowly on your way. Come back more often when you have time. Your parents always talk to me about you."
"I know." Song Yuntang turned and looked at Song Jinsheng, "Second brother, will you come back to the farm with us? We need to go to the town first."
Song Jinsheng first looked at Zhao Qiao'e.
Before he could say anything, Zhao Qiao'e said with a cheerful face, "Go ahead. There are still parents and your elder brother and sister-in-law to take care of at home."
Then he took Song Yuntang's hand and walked aside with an unnatural expression.
"Tang'er, mother wants to ask if you need anyone to take care of the things on your farm?"
Song Yuntang did not answer directly, but asked first.
"What's wrong?"
"Now the vegetables in the fields have sprouted, and the harvest is so poor. Your eldest brother and your father's bean sprout business is not as good as before. At present, your father can maintain the vegetable stall by himself. Your eldest sister-in-law is going to give birth in two or three months. Your eldest brother wants to find a job. When he earns money, he can hire a midwife with more experience."
Song Yuntang looked in her direction, then looked in the direction of Song Jinyuan and Liu.
Liu's seven-month-old belly is already noticeable, and she has gained some weight recently. She is no longer so skinny. It seems that her food must be good recently.
"The baby is only two or three months away, so why not let my eldest brother stay home with my eldest sister-in-law first? If there is any emergency, my eldest brother will react more quickly. As for finding a job, let's wait until the baby is born."
Giving birth to a woman is a journey through hell, especially in ancient times when medical resources were scarce. After seven months, someone had to keep an eye on her.
Song Jinbao grew and sold bean sprouts every day. Zhuzi Zhuangzi had to go to a private school, so Zhao was the only one taking care of him. If anything unexpected happened, there would be no one to help him.
Zhao also looked in Liu's direction.
"The main thing is that your sister-in-law has been complaining about your brother being idle at home lately. I'm afraid that it will affect her mood over time, and it will not be good for the baby in her belly."
Song Yuntang did not comment.
"The child is hers, but she doesn't take it seriously. Why is mom so anxious?"
Zhao sighed helplessly, "The child is hers and your elder brother's. If anything happens to the child, it will be your elder brother who will be harmed in the end. If you are short of people, just look at arranging a job for your elder brother. Jinyuan is good at work. If you are not short of people, mother will not embarrass you. I will talk to Liu."
When Liu saw that Zhao Qiao'e and Song Yuntang were both looking at them, she probably guessed something. Seeing that Song Yuntang was reluctant to nod, she walked over, holding her waist.
"Are mother and Tang'er talking about arranging work for husband?"
Since moving out of home, Song Yuntang rarely communicated with Liu except for the matter of embroidering the handkerchief.
But now that others are smiling, I can't have a stern face.
Song Yuntang forced a smile.
"I think my sister-in-law will give birth soon, so it's better for me to stay with you for the time being and arrange the work after my sister-in-law gives birth."
Fearing that Song Yuntang would not make arrangements for Song Jinyuan, Liu hurried forward and held her hand.
"Tang'er, I'm glad you're thinking of me. I'm fine. The price of grain in town is rising, and money is tight at home. I'm afraid the baby will get a headache or a fever when he's born in winter, so having some extra money will make life easier."
She was pregnant with the Song family's child. Although Song Yuntang did not have a deep relationship with the Song family, she was a girl from this family after all.
Before Song Yuntang left home, he saw that she was pregnant and took good care of her.
It can be seen that she also values the baby in her belly.
Even for the sake of the child, she should arrange a job for her elder brother.
What's more, Jinyuan is her biological elder brother.
Song Yuntang calmly pulled his hand away and looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in front of him.
She has always known that Liu has her own little thoughts, and people like her should not be spoiled too much. If you encourage her arrogance, she will ask you for this today and that tomorrow.
If it was the original owner, he might have agreed to it out of courtesy.
But she is not the original owner, and her feelings for this family are not as deep as the original owner's. She just thinks that since she has occupied the original owner's body, she should help her fulfill her obligations.
"Doesn't my second brother give all his earnings to my mother every month? My mother couldn't bear to find him a decent wife, so how could she be reluctant to give it to her grandson?"
Liu said with an awkward smile.
"What are you saying, Tang'er? It's as if mom is a biased person. If your eldest and second brothers hear this, I'm afraid there will be resentment between them."
She turned around and looked in Zhao's direction.
"The Liu family of Shili Village and my family are distant relatives. I have seen the Xia family that my mother asked the matchmaker to introduce to Jinsheng last time. She is quite good-looking and has a gentle personality. Although she is someone else's child bride, she is still a good girl."
No wonder Zhao agreed to Xia before. It seems that Liu also made a contribution.
This Liu is really mean. For the sake of her own good life, she completely ignores the life and death of her brother-in-law. She wants him to make money to support her family, but she doesn't want to spend money on the money for the earner in the family to marry a wife.
Then she thought about how the Huang family had threatened her to become a concubine.
Didn’t Liu say that she was afraid of bringing trouble to her family and cried for her to agree?
It seems good on the surface when there are no interests involved, but once interests are involved, her first reaction is to protect herself.
Song Yuntang concealed all his emotions in his eyes, "No matter how good Xia is, she still has a husband and children. Don't you know that Liu Zishi is still alive?"
Zhao and Liu looked at each other.
"Is he still alive?"
After Song Yuntang said those words to Zhao when he returned home last time, they no longer paid attention to what happened in the Liu family.
Song Yuntang hummed.
"Unfortunately, I ran into him when he went to the county town. He married into a family there, but ended up getting nothing. I'm afraid he has returned to Shili Village and reunited with his wife and children from the Xia family."
Zhao said blankly, "Fortunately, I didn't really tell Xia at that time. How long has it been? Liu Zishi has returned to the Liu family. If Xia regretted it and ran back, not only would the money be wasted, but Jinsheng would also..."
Liu took her arm and comforted her.
"Mom, we didn't know about this before. Who could have thought that such a coincidence would happen? It's a blessing that this marriage didn't happen."
