Chapter 297 Song Dekui Stays at Baolin Residence
The people Zhou Xiang left behind were watching outside the inn.
It is said that after Song Lizheng and his men left, there was no movement from the mother and son of the Gu family for a long time.
So he asked the waiter and found out that the guests inside had already checked out.
He said he had lost face in Qili County and was afraid to go out, so he was taken away through the small door he usually used to buy vegetables from the kitchen.
People from Tianxiang Tower went into the room to check, but found that the room had been cleaned up and there was no trace of Xiao Gu and her son.
Since everyone has left, there is no need to mention it again. So when Zhou Xiang came to Baolinju, he didn't say anything.
Song Liyun didn't care at all about when the mother and son would leave. Anyway, little Gu's life would not be easy when she returned to Xiaoshi Village.
Without Song Lao Er as a man, there was still Mrs. Gu lying paralyzed on the kang at home, so little Mrs. Gu would naturally suffer some hardships.
What Song Liyun didn't know was that with the return of Captain Jiang and the three hangers-on of the Xue family, the Song brothers and sisters became military households and settled away for the rest of their lives.
The news that Song Lao Er broke off the engagement and asked for a large sum of money naturally spread.
Everyone said that the Song brothers and sisters became rich as soon as they left home. They lived in a big house and ran a restaurant, and they could make hundreds of taels of silver with just a flick of their hands.
But for ordinary people whose daily activities do not exceed a hundred miles, they don’t even know where Qili County is, so the story of the Song brothers and sisters is not so real.
The breaking off of the engagement was certainly shocking, but the fact that Song Lao Er got three hundred taels of silver was even more shocking.
This is something a farmer would never be able to earn in his entire life.
Everyone was eagerly waiting to see the Song family become rich and prosperous.
To everyone's disappointment, Song Lao Er and Xiao Gu's mother and son did not follow them back to Xiaoshi Village.
The matter of breaking up an engagement for a few hundred taels of silver fermented. Rumor has it that the couple took the few hundred taels of silver, abandoned their paralyzed mother at home, and took their son to live a carefree life.
Gu's family members didn't believe it and came to Xiaoshi Village to ask for the person, or to share some of the money.
As a result, they did not see Song Lao Er, and were scolded by the angry Song Li Zheng, who asked them to take Mrs. Gu away.
They are not willing to take on this burden and just walk away.
Mr. Xue also brought Song Shuirong back once. When he heard that the couple had not returned, he immediately beat Song Shuirong until her head was bleeding, dragged her back to the town and locked her in the backyard, cutting off her contact with the Song family.
In the cold winter, the paralyzed Mrs. Gu was left unattended and was so hungry that she could only crawl out of the yard and cry for food from everyone she met in the village.
Seeing the shrew who had been so powerful all her life crawling on the ground and becoming a begging dog, the women in the village felt happy and would even give her some leftovers in a mocking manner.
On New Year's Eve, Mrs. Gu lay in the yard covered with falling snow, cursing and listening to the crackling firecrackers around her.
She cursed Song Lizheng, saying that if this man had come to her house and proposed marriage a few more times, she might have agreed.
Now the one living in the big blue brick and tile house and being the wife of the headman should be me, not that bitch Huang.
He scolded Song Lao Er and Xiao Gu, scolding them for ignoring their own mother and only caring about enjoying themselves, and pitying himself for treating him like a treasure.
Any delicious food in the house belongs to him. If they kill a chicken, not only will the bastard boss not get to taste the meat, even Old Man Song won't be able to have a sip of the soup.
After scolding Song Laoer, he scolded Song Liyun.
Ever since this bitch came back, his home has been in chaos, with thieves breaking in and the two brothers running away, which has led to his family's downfall.
She cursed Song Liyun, the slut, for being raped by thousands of men and having no children in her life. Almost no vicious words could vent her hatred.
He also scolded the Song Zhenping brothers.
She hated herself for not strangling Xiao An directly and selling Song Zhenping into slavery, so that she could keep them alive and live a good life.
Mrs. Gu cursed Xiaoshi Village and all those who had wronged her, from the moment her voice was hoarse to the moment her voice was completely gone, until the heavy snow buried her.
It was the third day of the first lunar month. Song Lizheng came to help Song Zhenping visit the grave of his parents. When he entered Song Laoer's house, he saw the corpse frozen in feces and urine in the yard.
Of course, this is all a story for later, and Song Liyun only found out about it a year later.
When she heard that Mrs. Gu had frozen to death in the snow on New Year's Eve, she just smiled faintly: Evil will be punished!
When Zhou Xiang saw Song Dekui coming, he knew that the family must have something to discuss, so he tactfully said goodbye and left.
Song Dekui had been lying in bed in the inn for the past two days and had no idea that Song Zhenping was getting his leg treated.
He first went to the room to see Song Zhenping, who was already bandaged with wicker bandages, and then saw Yang Hua taking care of him nearby. He only asked briefly about the treatment situation and immediately rushed to find Song Liyun.
There was a charcoal brazier burning in the front hall of Baolinju, and the room was very warm.
Song Dekui plopped down on the cushioned chair, took the boiling hot tea that Xiao An poured for him, and patted Xiao An on the shoulder: "Xiao An is still the best! Much better than that heartless family!"
Xiao An pouted: "I don't know that family, I don't know them!"
After saying that, he turned around and left without even wanting to pay attention to Song Dekui. He felt that Uncle Kui and his second uncle were in the same group.
Song Dekui laughed and thought: I can’t mention that family in Xiaoshi Village anymore.
He came to Baolinju mainly to say that he didn't want to go back to Xiaoshi Village and wanted to stay in Suijin Town as a military household.
"Xiao Yun, could you please tell Captain Luo that I want to join the army, or even transfer to a military household?"
Song Liyun looked at his arms and legs, which were as thin as sticks, and asked worriedly, "Uncle Kui, can your body bear the weight of the armor?"
Song Dekui patted his chest loudly and said, "Don't look at Uncle Kui's skinny appearance. Look here, there's nothing but bones but flesh."
He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his slender arms. "Besides, why don't you ask Captain Luo to let me drive the large caravan and tend to the animals?"
Song Liyun touched the rabbit fur on the cuff of her sleeve, and something in her mind moved: "Uncle Kui, don't lie to me. You want to drive a cart to transport military supplies. Do you want to go to the Dilu Grassland?"
Song Dekui rubbed his hands and laughed awkwardly, "How do you know? I just want to see what the Dilu tribe is like!"
Song Liyun glanced at him sideways. Last year, she and her brother Song Zhenping were going to escape to the border village, and this Uncle Kui followed them to see what was new.
If he had not needed to go back after completing his labor service, he would have wanted to stay in the garrison.
Now he finally found an opportunity to get out, and he was depressed about not punishing Song Lao Er in Qili County. He had no intention of going back, and even wanted to change to a military household like the Song brothers and sisters.
Seeing that Song Dekui was determined to stay, Song Liyun didn't want to persuade him.
To be honest, it doesn't matter that Xiaoshi Village loses the eccentric Song Dekui, but it does have a trustworthy person by its side.
Now the shops in the town are about to be built, the carton factory and the food store are going to be expanded, and the freezer is also under construction. Even with the assistance of Manager Mu, Han Ming, as the manager, is also very busy.
Fortunately, Song Zhenping is now taken care of by Madam Yun and Xiao An in Baolinju, and Lin Tao's wife has to help with the vegetable garden in the backyard, so Song Liyun has time to spare.
In half a month, furs and a large amount of dried meat from the grassland will be delivered.
By then, although Song Zhenping no longer needed personal care, he would not be able to help much.
Although there are more and more people around her, Song Liyun always feels that there are still too few people she can command.
"Uncle Kui, don't enroll in the military anymore. Just work with me and buy a house in Suijin Town and settle down!"
After a quick calculation, Song Liyun decided that there was no need to change his military household registration. She could just go to Qili County and use the back door to get a new household registration for Song Dekui.
