Chapter 182 Naughty Child
Manager Wan had lunch at Baolinju and then visited the cardboard box factory.
Under the wooden shed, six or seven workers were busy, and the riverbank was covered with drying cardboards.
The water wheel with several wooden pestles kept pounding the pulp in the pulp pool.
Everything is in good order.
Song Liyun's carton warehouse manager is Shopkeeper Mu. After Manager Wan gets the delivery note from him, he takes his order away.
Even after Manager Wan left with twenty taels of silver and a cart of cardboard, Song Liyun was still not relieved. She was still thinking about what Manager Wan had just said: To buy land, you must first get a deed, no matter what others promise, it will be useless.
It was afternoon and the sun was shining brightly in the sky.
Although the distance from Baolinju to the town was only two miles, Song Liyun still led out the Juqing horse.
As soon as she learned how to ride a horse, she felt the benefits immediately. She felt like she was parasitic on the horse's back every day and didn't want to tire her legs no matter where she went.
Xue Zhuang is also a military household, so we have to ask him about the land issue.
It is naturally not a good idea to talk about this kind of thing at the town hall, so you have to go to the house to find someone.
Riding slowly into the town, Song Liyun immediately frowned.
Houses are being demolished everywhere now, and dust is flying under the scorching sun.
Xue Zhuang's first courtyard was burned down, so he moved to the second place a little away from the central residential area.
There is a big locust tree with a green cover in front of the door, which is perfect for tying up a horse.
Song Liyun had just tied the rope when the gate of Xue Zhuang's house creaked open and a boy of six or seven years old in a gray short coat poked his head out.
The little boy's eyes rolled around and he saw the horse next to Song Liyun, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He waved a branch tied with a red cloth in his hand and ran over to pounce on the horse's butt.
He was still shouting, "I want to ride a horse, I want to ride a horse!"
Song Liyun was startled. When the little boy was about to approach the Juqing horse, she grabbed his arm and dragged him back, saying angrily, "What are you doing? Didn't your parents teach you not to hug a horse's legs casually?"
Animals are afraid of sudden attacks from behind. If one of them kicks the child out of fright, the child will probably lose half his life.
Although Ju Qingma is more obedient now, he cannot be said to have a good temper, and only members of the Song family can get close to him.
Sure enough, just when Song Liyun had just caught the little boy, Ju Qingma jumped up and kicked with his hind legs, causing mud to splash everywhere, and a piece of mud hit the little boy's face.
The little boy was frightened and stunned for a moment. Before Song Liyun could wipe the dirt off his face, he burst into tears: "Mom, someone hit me!" He turned around and ran into the yard.
Song Liyun pursed her lips: These naughty kids are really annoying.
She patted Juqingma's neck to calm the frightened horse. This was also the horse training technique that Zhao Ashi taught her, which was to treat the horse like a child at all times and take more care of its emotions.
Before she even entered the yard, she heard a commotion. A woman was shouting in a shrill voice, "Who dares to hit my Bao'er? This is really outrageous. They didn't even look at whose house this is and dared to cause trouble."
Song Liyun frowned. Ever since she rescued Xu Yan'er, the woman had never appeared in front of her again. Even if she met her face to face, she would avoid her from a distance.
Xue Zhuang also apologized and explained that Xu Yan'er was shy and felt embarrassed to face Song Liyun and other apologies.
In fact, Song Liyun didn't want to argue with others.
Whether Xu Yan'er felt grateful or ashamed, she did not expect any reward when she saved people.
So, even though she heard from others that Xu Yan'er was a bit bullying and arrogant, she didn't care.
The courtyard gate opened, and Xu Yan'er, wearing a hairpin and a long satin dress, rushed out. Just as she was about to curse, she saw who the person was and was suddenly speechless.
Song Liyun looked at her and said calmly, "Is Xue Zhuang at home? I have something to talk to him about."
When she saw that it was Song Liyun, Xu Yan'er suddenly felt like she was hit by a stick, her face flushed and she froze in place.
Everyone in the town, even the guards, knew that Song Liyun was her savior.
If Song Liyun had not rushed into the burning house and carried Xu Yaner out, she would have rotted into a pile of bones by now.
However, Xu Yan'er was not convinced.
She only blamed herself for why it couldn't be someone else who saved her, and why she had to be saved by Song Liyun, which made it impossible for her to vent her resentment.
Seeing Xu Yan'er was speechless, Song Liyun had no choice but to step forward and say, "Is Xue Zhuang here? Let him come out. I'll ask a few questions and then leave."
Anyway, I'm just asking about the land deed, and it's cool to talk here under the shade of the tree.
Xu Yan'er's lips trembled as she mustered up the courage to invite Song Liyun into the house: "Song...Liyun, Zhuang Ge isn't home. He went to Hu Qing's house to say a few words and will be back soon. Come in and sit down first!"
More than half a year has passed since she was beaten. She now knows that Song Liyun and Xue Zhuang are not what she thought.
If he stopped Song Liyun outside, Xue Zhuang would definitely be annoyed that she didn't know etiquette.
When Song Liyun heard that Xu Yan'er wanted to invite her into the yard, she was a little surprised, but she didn't act pretentiously. She smiled and said yes, then walked into the yard.
At this moment, the little boy suddenly rushed over and pushed Song Liyun fiercely: "Don't come in, I will beat you to death, you dead woman, don't come into my house."
Song Liyun dodged his dirty hands and asked with a frown, "Whose child is this? How rude of you to be so."
Xu Yaner's face flushed red, and she stepped forward to stop the child: "Xiaobao, stop making trouble, this is a guest from my aunt's house."
Xiaobao, Song Liyun frowned when she heard the name.
The Song family in Xiaoshi Village has a little treasure who is spoiled to a fault. It seems that he is also a bad boy.
The little boy was stopped by Xu Yan'er but he continued to make a fuss, pulling Xu Yan'er so hard that she couldn't stand steadily and almost fell down.
Seeing that Xu Yan'er's waist seemed to be inflexible, her movements were awkward and stiff, and she couldn't even hold a child's hand, a thought flashed through her mind: Xue Zhuang has been married for more than half a year, could she be pregnant?
Regardless of whether it was true or not, she couldn't let anything happen under her nose. Song Liyun quickly stepped forward, pulled the little boy over, and said angrily: "This is your aunt, why are you pushing her!"
Xu Yan'er's face was about to bleed. At this moment, another woman's voice rang out in the yard: "Hey! You're going to be a mother soon, but you can't even get along with a child. You make a fuss every day. Those who know you say you are Xiaobao's biological aunt, and those who don't think you are his stepmother!"
As the words were spoken, a young woman wearing a crimson long dress and looking quite pretty walked out the door swaying.
She ignored her son who was jumping and dancing, and only fixed her eyes on Song Liyun.
Because she has to ride a horse, Song Liyun is used to wearing pants.
At this moment, she was wearing a white cotton shirt, dark blue pants, blue cloth embroidered shoes, and a light green long jacket. She looked clean, refreshing, delicate and gentle, though a little too plain.
The woman's eyes quickly glanced at Song Liyun's bare earlobes, neck and wrists, as well as the few small braids on her head that were only tied together with a hairband.
Then he snorted, "Who are you? Why are you making such a fuss at Master Xue's door? Don't you know it's nap time now? If you disturb Master Xue, you'll get whipped."
Song Liyun saw through her undisguised disdain and simply said, "Master Xue is so wealthy, when did he even have a housekeeper?"
