Chapter 28 Nonsense
When Lin Jingyao returned to the Lin family, Lin Gengshi got the news and went to his yard immediately.
"Brother, what did Doctor Wang say? Can Mom's headache be completely cured?" He looked anxious.
There was no emotion on Lin Jingyao's face.
"Doctor Wang said he would try his best."
Lin Gengshi frowned, "No more?"
Lin Jingyao hummed, "The doctors in town have limited medical skills. I plan to go to the county town to ask a doctor to come and see my mother."
Lin Gengshi sighed, "That's fine. Zhao Zhao has been complaining about feeling uncomfortable these past two days, but the doctor couldn't find anything wrong with her. The Song family lives in poverty, so maybe she got some kind of illness when she was young. When the county town invites a doctor, we can take a look at her together."
Lin Jingyao hummed again and looked up at Lin Gengshi.
"When I came back today, I met Tang'er."
Lin Gengshi's expression became serious. "Tang'er is in town again? Is she pestering you again?"
Lin Jingyao shook his head. "She didn't pester me. I saw her first. I haven't seen her for more than half a month. She has changed a lot."
Thinking of the last time he met Song Yuntang at the East Street Market, a hint of impatience flashed in Lin Gengshi's eyes.
"There are some changes, but who can guarantee that she is not playing hard to get?"
Lin Jingyao has often traveled abroad to study in recent years and has seen a lot of people and things. Judging from Song Yuntang's expression, he doesn't seem to be playing hard to get.
"Let's wait and see, Tang'er, maybe it's not as bad as we think."
"She's not evil?"
Lin Gengshi snorted and sat down on the futon opposite Lin Jingyao angrily.
"I saw her selling clothes and jewelry on East Street that day, and I thought she was having a hard time, so she asked Zhaozhao to go to Rongshu Village to visit her. I didn't expect that she would actually beat someone up. You didn't see how sad Zhaozhao was when she came back that day. Zhaozhao's health also started to feel unwell from that day on."
Lin Jingyao picked up the teacup in front of him and poured himself a cup of tea, "Is Zhao Zhao feeling better these days?"
Lin Gengshi also took a cup and handed it to his eldest brother.
"You look much better."
Lin Jingyao also poured him a cup of tea.
"I'm often not at home, so please take care of her emotions."
"That's for sure." Lin Gengshi said and took a sip of the tea in his hand.
Lin Jingyao put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "When you asked Zhaozhao to go to Rongshu Village that day, did you bring anything for Tang'er?"
Lin Gengshi nodded. "Before she left, I secretly gave her a silver ingot. She said that Tang'er had embarrassed her so much at the time that she was so sad that she forgot about the matter."
Lin Jingyao understood, "So she didn't give it to me at all?"
Lin Gengshi pursed his lips and began to defend his sister.
"It's not Zhao Zhao's fault. It's Tang Er's fault for being so jealous. It's better to let her suffer a little."
Lin Jingyao said calmly, "Don't overdo anything. Although Tang'er and we are not related by blood, she has been our sister for more than ten years. It is understandable that she finds it difficult to accept this gap."
Lin Gengshi looked at him strangely, "Brother, you spoke up for her today. You didn't really listen to her nonsense before, did you?"
Lin Jingyao was stunned.
"What nonsense?"
"She said that as long as she could return to the Lin family, she would be willing to be the eldest brother's concubine. That's nonsense."
Tang'er has admired her eldest brother since she was a child, and she even said that she wanted to marry him when she grew up. At that time, everyone just thought it was a joke of a little girl. When she said these words again in order to return to the Lin family, not only the two brothers were shocked, but even the Lin family's parents were stunned.
They were really disappointed that their daughter, whom they had carefully educated for more than ten years, would say such a thing.
Lin Jingyao picked up the folding fan beside him and hit Lin Gengshi on the head.
"You know it's nonsense, but you still say it!"
Lin Gengshi covered his head and said, "I'm just worried that my elder brother will be upset. Even though we are no longer related by blood, it will still cause gossip."
Lin Jingyao nodded indifferently.
"Don't worry, she's just a sister."
Outside the courtyard, Lin Zhaozhao, who originally wanted to come and see her two brothers, clenched her fists after hearing their conversation.
That Huang Heyu is really useless!
She had asked someone to reveal the news about Song Yuntang to him, but it has taken him so long and still he hasn't figured it out.
He glanced at Fenghong who was following behind him.
"Find a servant to go to Shili Village and find out what's going on at the Huang family."
Feng Hong bowed and said, "Yes."
After Fenghong left, a sneer appeared on Lin Zhaozhao's lips.
"It's impossible to re-enter the Lin family!"
…
After Song Yuntang had eaten and drunk his fill, he loaded his backpack and headed out of Cile Town under the scorching sun. On the way, he passed by a stall selling steamed buns and spent twenty cents to buy ten large meat buns.
Although he didn't find work as a doctor, at least he got an order for handkerchiefs.
Although she doesn't earn much, it's already pretty good considering her current conditions.
Take your time, everything will be fine.
From a distance, Grandpa Sun, who was resting in the tea shed, greeted her, "Miss Song, you came a little early today."
Song Yuntang walked into the tea stall with a smile.
"Uncle Sun, when are you leaving?"
"It's hot today, not many people come to town, we can set off when the time comes." Grandpa Sun pointed to the seat opposite, "Miss, please sit at the same table with me. I have already paid for the tea."
"Thank you very much."
Song Yuntang put down the backpack and sat down opposite him.
The sun is shining brightly at this moment, and it is shaded under the tea shed, so it is a little cooler.
As expected, not many people came to the town today, and Song Yuntang was the only one on the ox cart going back.
When they arrived at Rongshu Village, Song Jinsheng was already waiting under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village. When he saw the ox cart stop, he hurried over, first helped Song Yuntang off the ox cart, then took the backpack and put it on his back, and waved to Grandpa Sun.
"Thank you, Uncle Sun."
“You’re welcome.” Grandpa Sun smiled and drove away in the ox cart.
Song Yuntang glanced in the direction of Song Jinsheng, and for a moment he actually felt that this brother seemed quite good.
As Song Jinsheng led Song Yuntang home, he asked her, "Tang'er, have you eaten lunch?"
"I've eaten it." Song Yuntang untied one of the oil-paper packages tied to the shoulder strap of Song Jinsheng's backpack, opened it, took out a meat bun and handed it to him, "Here, I brought it for you, try one first."
Song Jinsheng didn't reach out to take it, but just looked at her with some surprise.
Song Yuntang stuffed the bun into his hand.
"Eat it."
Song Jinsheng's eyes were red with emotion as he looked at the still hot meat bun in his hand.
"Thank you Tang'er."
"How's the progress of the waterwheel?" Song Yuntang asked.
Song Jinsheng cut the bun in half and handed half to Song Yuntang. "It's faster than expected. It should be finished in about ten days. Let's eat it together."
Song Yuntang took it with a smile, and the two of them ate while walking. People along the way who saw them eating were drooling with envy.
Song Yuntang swallowed the last bite of the bun and pulled up his sleeves, his expression showing no sadness or joy, "Second brother, someone pulled my arm so hard today that it turned red."
It’s not because my arm hurts. I’ve lost the feeling after so long. It’s just that I feel wronged and want to find someone to talk to.
Song Jinsheng seemed to care about her as a younger sister, so naturally she became the best person to confide in.
