Chapter 118 Can't Be Outdone by Song Yuntang
Hearing this, Song Yuntang couldn't help but frown.
"How can a mother say that to her own child? Second brother, don't take her words too seriously in the future. Among the brothers and sisters in our family, there is no ugly one."
Song Jinsheng chuckled, "My sister is still the prettiest."
Song Yuntang chuckled.
"Why is Second Brother praising me again?"
At this moment, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and Mu Dong handed Song Yuntang two taels of silver, "Miss Song, do I still need to go to the shop tomorrow?"
Song Yuntang shook his head. "You and Mu Qiu come to my place tomorrow. After you load the things into the car and leave, I will go to the shop with Mu Qiu."
The two agreed and went home.
Song Yuntang wiped the door panel that Song Jinsheng had removed with a wet rag and put bedding on it.
"If I had known that my second brother would occasionally stay at my place, I should have rented a bigger yard so that you could sleep more comfortably."
"It doesn't matter where I sleep. The bedding at home isn't as comfortable as the one you bought."
Song Yuntang smiled and said, "The quilts at home are all old and have been used for more than ten years. Naturally, they are not as comfortable as the new ones."
She stood up and said, "Okay, second brother, have a good rest tonight. I'm afraid you'll have to get up early tomorrow."
…
The next day, when the siblings Mu Dong and Mu Qiu came home with a horse-drawn carriage, Song Yuntang and Song Jinsheng had already counted the things they were going to take to town and placed them in the yard.
After Song Jinsheng and Mu Dong moved the things onto the carriage, each of them got on a carriage and went to the county town.
Song Yuntang closed the gate, took the wooden sign he had written yesterday and went to the shop with Mu Qiu.
"Sister Song, why do you put a sign like this in front of the shop?" Mu Qiu was puzzled.
"For fishing." Song Yuntang looked at her with a smile, "If someone comes to ask about the scar cream, you can tell them that the ingredients are expensive, thirty taels of silver per box, no bargaining, the best effect is to start applying it when the scar has just formed, but it will take ten days to get the product, and if you rush it, you have to pay another ten taels of silver."
Mu Qiu widened his eyes in surprise.
“It’s so expensive, will anyone buy it?”
Besides, didn’t Sister Song say yesterday that the goods would be available in five days? How come it became ten days again?
She really didn't understand.
Song Yuntang smiled mysteriously.
“It depends on the needs of the guests.”
After hearing this, Mu Qiu didn't ask any more questions.
During this time in the morning, the weather is relatively cool, there are many people on the streets, and the business in the shops is relatively good.
Some come here because of its reputation, some are returning customers, some are referral customers, and some are attracted by the large crowds gathered in front of the shop.
After all, most of the people who came to the shop were women. After working all morning, the two of them sold more than 60 cans.
Looking at the shop that was becoming increasingly empty, Song Yuntang felt that something was not right.
"Mu Qiu, it's getting hot now and there are fewer people around. I have something to do first. By the time I'm done, Mu Dong will be back soon."
Mu Qiu nodded, "Okay, Sister Song, go ahead and do your work. If there's anything else, I can ask the innkeeper Yuan for help."
For this reason, before leaving, Song Yuntang specially greeted Yuan, the shopkeeper of Ruyi Inn, and asked him to take care of Mu Qiu.
After Song Yuntang left Yujun Pavilion, he first went to the place where Grandpa Sun usually parked his carriage.
Unexpectedly, at the entrance of the town, he met Ma Zhaolan and Song Zhimei, mother and daughter, who were waiting for the ox cart to take them home under an awning.
Seeing Song Yuntang coming over here, Ma Zhaolan immediately gloated in a shrill voice, "Hey! Isn't this my niece who was kicked out of the house? What's wrong? Is she going back home because she can't make it in town anymore?"
There was a small bald spot on her head caused by Song Yuntang. Although she had deliberately covered it with her hair, it was still visible at a glance.
Song Yuntang ignored her and looked to the other side.
"Uncle Sun, I want to haul some stuff to the farm. The farm is not far from the town. I wonder how much you charge?"
Some time ago, Song Jinsheng and Song Yuntang often hired Grandpa Sun's ox cart, and they became familiar with him. When they saw Song Yuntang coming, they immediately smiled and said, "The starting price for an ox cart is usually ten cents."
Song Yuntang nodded, "Okay, please come with me, Uncle Sun. We can transport the things over earlier so as not to delay your return trip later."
"Oh, okay."
Grandpa Sun stood up from the tea stall and went to untie the reins of the ox cart.
Song Zhimei squinted her eyes and slapped the tea table, making a clanging sound, almost causing the fake flower on her head to fall off. "Song Yuntang, my mother is talking to you, are you deaf? Have you forgotten all the rules you learned in the Lin family?"
"So the rule your mother taught you is to bang the table and bark like a dog?"
Song Zhimei was angry, "You..."
Song Yuntang smiled coldly, looking at the uncle who was boiling water behind the stove in the tea shed and said, "Uncle, there are flies in your tea shed."
The uncle, who had not noticed the noise in the tea stall, stood up suddenly and looked around after hearing this.
"Flies? Where?"
Song Yuntang nodded his chin towards Ma Zhaolan and Song Zhimei under the tea stall.
"Here, there are two flies this big."
The uncle was stunned, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and sat down behind the stove again, "Girl, please don't make fun of me. There are two of us."
When the mother and daughter came, they were as arrogant as two big roosters. In fact, he didn't like them very much, but he had to do business. After all, the two of them ordered two cents of tea in his tea stall.
If he offends someone and doesn't even pay for the tea, he won't be sure he can get it back facing these two shrews.
At this time, Grandpa Sun had already driven the ox cart over.
Seeing this, Song Yuntang immediately jumped onto the ox cart, sat on the edge of the cart and headed towards the town.
Song Zhimei was so angry that she ran out from behind the tea shed and pointed her tanned fingers at Song Yuntang and cursed, "Song Yuntang, you are the fly! Your whole family is a fly!"
Song Yuntang laughed and said, "Okay, you are a fly, you have the final say."
Song Zhimei reacted and stomped her feet on the spot like crazy.
"ah!!!"
She wanted to curse a few more times, but just as the words came to her lips, she saw the ox cart enter the town, turn a corner, and Song Yuntang disappeared. Song Zhimei was once again filled with impotence and rage, and returned to the tea shed angrily and drank two cups of tea.
Ma Zhaolan looked at her breathless appearance and tried to comfort her, "Why did you get so angry because of that little bitch? She was kicked out by the third brother's family. How can she live a comfortable life like you in the future?"
Song Zhimei looked at her, "Hasn't mother heard? The Xu family has offered her a betrothal gift."
"So what?" Ma Zhaolan raised her eyebrows and said, "Mr. Xu is talented, but he has been ill for a long time and will definitely die young. Who knows if I will become a widow if I marry him?"
After hearing this, Song Zhimei felt relieved.
"No!" She put the teacup heavily on the table. "I can't let Song Yuntang outdo me! If she can get a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver, I have to get twenty taels, otherwise, forget it!"
