Chapter 118 Song Lan is back
When he said the last few words, Song Lan's face turned red.
"Xiu Xiu?" Song Ci was a little confused. This was someone who had never appeared in her previous life.
My brother was arranged by his family to marry the Ning Bohou's irritable and somewhat crazy concubine's daughter. But there is no such person. Could it be that he changed the trajectory of his family and also changed it?
She suddenly remembered that Song Lan had just said that this person was the prince's teacher?
"Tell me about it. Why did he suddenly say that to you that day?"
Seeing his sister's serious expression, Song Lan swallowed and told her everything that happened that day in detail.
After listening, Song Ci said calmly, "You mean, the great scholar was giving a lecture, and among so many people he picked you to answer a question, and then criticized you in public, saying that you have no talent for studying, so you should go back as soon as possible?"
Song Lan nodded, his face also sad, "Yes."
Hearing this, Song Ci sneered inwardly. What a coincidence! His brother was quite knowledgeable and was often praised by his teachers at the academy. The teachers said his brother had a 50-50 chance of passing the imperial examination. With his intelligence, as long as he worked hard, he would have no problem passing.
With such an evaluation, the great scholar said that he had no talent for studying and asked him to leave?
And there is Xiuxiu who suddenly appears, every link is carefully calculated.
"Who is Xiuxiu?"
Song Lan patted his chest, full of pride, "Xiu Xiu is your future sister-in-law... Ouch! Dad, why did you hit me!"
Before he could finish his words, Song Lan was hit hard on the back of the head by Song Lao San.
Song Lao San cursed: "I told you to study. Why did you secretly get married to someone when you were fine? Do we, your parents, have died?"
Song Lan covered his head and ran away. "Dad, listen to me, Xiuxiu is a good girl. Although her family is poor, she has noble character and can endure hardships. She comes out to earn money to support the family for her parents."
"Making money to support the family?"
"Yes!" Song Lan nodded. "Xiuxiu's family is in financial difficulty. Her family opened a tofu stall near the academy, and she helps sell the tofu."
Tofu seller!
Song Laosan’s eyes went dark and he almost fainted.
He should have gone to school properly, but not only did he drop out, he also found a woman whose background he didn't know. Song Laosan was furious.
"I'm going to give you a good beating today to teach you a lesson!"
Song Lan hurried out, shouting, "Mom, Mom, save me, Dad is going to beat me to death, please save me."
Hearing her son's voice, Qiao Xianglan put down the needlework in her hands, pushed the door open, and saw Song Laosan chasing her son with a wooden stick.
"Third Master, what are you doing? If you have something to say, please talk it over. The child hasn't done anything wrong. Why are you hitting him?"
"You don't know, this kid is very brave." After saying that, he simply repeated Song Lan's words to Qiao Xianglan.
Qiao Xianglan was silent for a moment and looked up. "Go ahead, Third Master, a child will become a useful person if he is not beaten. This child deserves to be punished."
Immediately, the couple pulled Song Lan to fight...
Song Ci looked at the smoky and chaotic yard and laughed.
Wanxiang poked her head out from behind and said, "Miss, Third Young Master is like this, and you still have the heart to laugh."
"What's the big deal?" Song Ci said sincerely, "As long as the family is together and as long as we're alive, there's nothing we can't solve."
She was very satisfied with the scene in front of her. Her parents and brother were all there. As for other things, she could just deal with them slowly.
Song Lan waited until the evening, with a bruised face and nose, and sat at the table with his head drooping, listening to the two men's scolding.
Seeing that it was almost time, Song Ci took the initiative to speak, "Dad and Mom, drink some water. I know I was wrong."
Song Lan raised his head and nodded vigorously, "Dad and Mom, I know I was wrong."
"If you know you're wrong, go back and ask your teacher to let you study again. And that Xiuxiu... I didn't even know anything about you, but I secretly arranged a marriage with you. You can't be with her!"
Song Lan suddenly stood up, his face full of disbelief, "Dad, what's wrong with Xiuxiu? She's the best girl in the world! If I can't marry her, I'd rather not get married at all!"
After saying that, he pushed the door open and ran out, which made Song Lao San very angry.
"Evil creature, evil creature!"
Qiao Xianglan patted his back and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, you are still injured."
"How can I not be angry? I didn't have enough education back then, so I went into business. Business is full of dangers. Making money is not that easy. I was hoping that he would graduate from high school and live a peaceful life in the future. But he is..."
Song Ci: "Dad and Mom, maybe my brother was plotted against."
She made this clear directly to avoid getting her parents and brother angry.
"Plot? Who plotted against him?" Song Lao San looked confused.
"I'm not sure about this yet, but we'll know after some investigation. As for this Xiuxiu, we'll have to investigate it thoroughly as well."
Looking at his daughter who looked confident and calm, and thinking about his son who acted like a monkey, Song Laosan just felt that this brother didn't look like a brother, and the sister didn't look like a sister. What kind of relationship do they have?
night.
Song Ci was reading at the desk when the door creaked open.
Song Lan, with a dog-headed mind, walked out from behind the door, saying in a gloomy tone, "Sister, do you also think I did something wrong?"
"Sit down." She pointed to the stool beside her.
Song Lan hurried over and sat down. His parents ignored him, only his sister was good!
"You should bear it when your parents are angry with you. You are smart, you must know the situation of our third branch at home."
"This...I know this." Song Lan is different from the foolishly filial Song Lao San and the weak Qiao Xianglan. He had rebelled when he was a child, but failed and never mentioned it again.
When Song Ci was a child, she got a hairpin from Song Lao San. Song Rouxi saw it and said she liked it. Seeing his niece's desire, Song Lao San gave it to Song Rouxi, which made Song Ci burst into tears.
As a result, Song Lan happened to see it and immediately took the initiative to pull it off Song Rouxi's head, saying that it belonged to his sister and he would not allow anyone to bully his sister.
The result was that he was beaten up by the two boys from the first and second wives.
Afterwards, they did not give any punishment. Instead, Song Lan was punished to kneel outside the house for the entire night.
Song Laosan pleaded for his son but was also driven away. Qiao Xianglan cried all night and almost cried her eyes blind.
Song Ci was still young at that time. She only knew that her brother was punished to kneel because of her. She insisted on kneeling with her brother in the middle of the night, feeling full of guilt.
She still remembered Song Lan turning around and stroking her hair. "Do you know what brother means? As your brother, I'll do the work and you'll eat the delicious food first. If there's any blame, I'll take it. You don't call me brother in vain, understand?"
He murmured quietly, "They are unfair. What kind of elders are they? Only my parents are stupid and were deceived by them."
