Seeing Song Liyun's arrogant appearance, Song Lao Er's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, his teeth clenched so tightly that they clicked, and he clenched his fists and said, "Fine, let's get down to business! Let's see what kind of explanation you, you slut, have to give us."
He wasn't worried that the Song brothers would escape his grasp; he would settle this score later.
But he needs to deal with this niece who has only been home for two days.
At this moment, he was calculating in his mind which brothel would be the most cost-effective to sell the goods to if he couldn't send them to the Xue family!
…………………………………………
An oil lamp was lit in the main room. Granny Gu and Madam Gu had been driven out of the house by Song Lao Er, and now they could only hide outside the door to eavesdrop.
"Second Uncle, now everyone in the village knows that I will marry Master Xue. You don't need to hide it anymore. There's nothing to hide. As long as I marry well, others will only be envious."
With her hands behind her back, Song Liyun spoke coldly to Song Lao Er.
In contrast to her relaxed demeanor, Song Lao Er remained expressionless: "I don't believe you."
He had just considered tying up Song Liyun and beating her, but now everyone in the village was listening intently for news, and if he made a move, another group of people would surely rush in.
Having learned from his previous experience, he still didn't want to provoke public anger.
As for whether he could beat Song Liyun, that was another matter. So no matter how angry he was, he had to force himself to remain calm and listen to what Song Liyun had to say.
He really couldn't believe that Song Liyun was going to marry into the Xue family.
If that wretched woman were to kick Master Xue like that too, I would have just sent a jinx to him. Master Xue would definitely think I was sent by an enemy.
"Second Uncle, how can you convince me that you've already received someone's deposit and can return it, or send a different bride?"
"Or can you arrange Master Xue's marriage?"
Song Liyun smiled disdainfully, revealing a row of silver teeth, which made her somewhat sallow and thin face look delicate and cute.
But in Song Lao Er's eyes, it was like a row of sharp knives already placed against his neck.
How could I dare to arrange Master Xue's marriage myself!
What do you want to do?
Song Lao Er was just a country bumpkin who learned a lot of tricks and swindling from Granny Gu. He didn't actually have much scheming in his mind.
He couldn't understand why Song Liyun didn't ask to break off the engagement, but instead went to him willingly.
"Second Uncle, let me be frank with you! I've agreed to this marriage with the Xue family. The reason is what I told you before: Master Xue is old and won't live for many more years. Once he dies, I can divide the family property and take it back for the family to use," Song Liyun explained slowly and deliberately.
It was money again. Song Lao Er's heart pounded as he heard this: This girl is really ruthless!
Master Xue is already sixty years old; he certainly won't live many more years.
If this girl can really outlive that old man and come back with the money, I can forgive her.
Song Lao Er felt restless and tormented, harboring both hatred and love for Song Liyun.
If Song Liyun could marry into the Xue family and be obedient, I would have endless money. But she is so prickly and unmanageable.
Seeing Song Lao Er's wavering, Song Liyun smiled happily, her dimples rippled at the corners of her mouth: "But you have to go to the Xue family and make it clear that if I want to marry into their family, it has to be done according to the rules, with three matchmakers and six witnesses. It can't just be sent away in a sack."
"If you have any wicked intentions and insist on doing this, I'll have Master Xue kill your whole family."
Song Lao Er's face stiffened, his eyes widening: "You dare!"
"What's there to be afraid of? Second Uncle has been through it all, he should know what's going on in bed. As long as I keep Master Xue happy, whether they send silver or knives to this room is entirely up to me."
Song Lao Er's face turned pale instantly; he really wanted to put the person in a sack and send them there.
But he never expected that an unmarried girl would bring up the topic of sleeping on the kang (heated brick bed).
Moreover, she has to admit what she said.
Now that Song Liyun is talking about giving money with a knife, she's threatening me, and I can't offend her.
"What...what do you want? Don't forget, Daping and Xiao'an still have to live at home. If you send a knife, they'll be the first to receive it."
"Besides, do you think Master Xue would agree to marry you according to the rules?" Song Lao Er said sternly, his fat cheeks trembling.
"Second Uncle, don't be nervous. This is something we need to discuss. I've already said that I'm willing to marry into the Xue family. Of course, I want my brothers to live well, so how could I possibly harm anyone?"
As for whether Master Xue agrees or not, that's my business.
"So what exactly do you want?" Song Lao Er was already a bit confused. Since this slut was willing to marry into the Xue family, he wouldn't let the family cause trouble.
Seeing that he was finally following her train of thought, Song Liyun said calmly, "Second Uncle, I want them to separate their families and live separately."
"No way!" Song Lao Er refused without even thinking. Separate the family?
After the family splits up, who will work in the fields, who will gather firewood to sell, and Song Zhenping will have to be a beast of burden for the rest of his life!
Besides, he was about to have to perform corvée labor, and if the two families were to split up, they would have to pay two shares. He wasn't crazy.
He glanced at Song Liyun with an expression of "I see, that's all": all that shouting and threatening to kill each other was just to make the two brothers split up.
Dream on! With two brothers in control, they can do whatever they want. No matter how powerful that little bitch is after she gets married, she'll only dare to talk back.
Song Liyun didn't say anything more; she knew she had said enough.
If they continued talking, Song Lao Er would not agree to let the two brothers go.
It seems that even money can't make Song Lao Er give up, so I'll have to resort to a ruthless method.
As the saying goes, one can live with the sins of Heaven, but one cannot live with the sins of oneself.
To kill someone is to destroy their spirit.
Simple physical pain is far too lenient for wicked people like Granny Gu and Little Granny Gu.
If you enjoy tormenting other people's children, then see how it feels to have your own child tormented in the same way.
Song Liyun's gaze was cold, which sent a chill down Song Lao Er's spine and made his groin ache slightly. Only then did he speak, "Second Uncle, you should think this through!"
After saying that, he stopped looking at Song Lao Er's expression, turned around, walked to the door, and suddenly pulled it open.
The Gu family, who were eavesdropping at the door, couldn't stop themselves and tumbled in.
