Chapter 15 Is this called caring?
Song Mingen frowned, "What does he want so much money for this time? I've already arranged everything. The third son of the Cui family has no way to gamble even if he wants to."
"The third son of the Cui family has become obedient now. This time, my third brother wants 10,000 taels of silver to buy a few more shops and go to the capital to buy real estate and farmland for Rui."
Song Mingen heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. "Third brother, you should be making plans for Rui Ge'er's future. This ten thousand taels is enough in the county or Yancheng, but it is far from enough in the capital."
When Jiang Yunwan heard this, she knew that he would definitely be a good brother and a good uncle.
I was so good to them, but they didn't even know they were killed.
"No matter where Third Brother wants to buy a shop, you must not agree to this ten thousand taels, and you must not give him any money in the future! And you must also stop giving Mother the monthly payment."
Song Mingen saw that Jiang Yunwan's expression was serious and it didn't seem like a joke.
In the past, when her third brother asked for money, Wanwan would just complain a few words, but today her attitude was so firm.
Something must have happened.
As soon as he came back today, he realized that Wanwan was hiding something from him.
If she doesn't say, then he won't ask.
"It's okay if my third brother doesn't give him money. As the eldest brother, I have done my best to treat him well over the years, but I can't stop giving mother the money every month."
Although Chen Chunhua favored her third brother more, as a son he had to be filial to her.
Hearing this, Jiang Yunwan frowned subconsciously. Seeing that he was pale from the long journey and his injuries had just begun to improve, it would upset him if she told him in a hurry now.
"So you promise not to give the 10,000 taels to Third Brother, and never give him any more money in the future?"
"If you don't agree, I naturally won't give the money to my third brother. After all, the money is all with you."
"Give!"
Song Mingen handed a stack of silver notes to Jiang Yunwan, "This time the reward is a full 60,000 taels. I've left 10,000 taels for the brothers. Keep these 50,000 taels. We'll go to Yancheng to look at shops in a few days. It's time to prepare a few more shops for our sister Yu. In the future, we must marry her off with great fanfare."
"Just Yancheng? We can also go to the capital to buy a few shops."
"The capital is too far away, and we don't have any roots there. We should open a few more shops in Yancheng. Sister Yu will find a good husband in Yancheng in the future. When mother dies, we will separate from my third brother and move to Yancheng."
Jiang Yunwan pursed her lips. If Ming En knew that she had recovered her memory and was going to take him to the capital, he would not say that once they arrived in the capital.
"Ming En, show me your arm again. I'll apply scar cream on you. I can't leave any scars."
In the evening, the sky was filled with rosy clouds and a carriage was coming from afar.
"Miss, Wushuang Village is just ahead. Should we go back to the village or to the temple?"
"Let's go to the hot spring villa!"
Song Yu still didn't want to see Chen Chunhua and others.
When we arrived at the hot spring resort, it was already dark.
"Miss, you are finally back. The master is back today." Caiyun walked over and helped Song Yu out of the carriage together with Bai Lan.
"Sister Caiyun, does Daddy know that I ran away secretly?"
"Don't worry, Miss. Madam will cover for you. The master won't know. I will go back to the village and tell Madam right away."
"Wait, it's so late, and the mountain road is difficult to walk on. Let's stay here tonight and talk about it tomorrow..."
"Yes, miss."
Chen Chunhua sat upright in the main seat in the dining hall, the smile on her face having never left her face since she received the gifts from Song Mingen.
Song Minglang felt impatient when he saw that the food had been served but there was no sign of Song Mingen and his wife for a while.
Looking at the smile on Chen Chunhua's face, he didn't dare to show it.
A moment later, a maid came in and announced, "Madam, the master and the mistress are here."
As soon as the words fell, Song Mingen's voice came in, "It is my son's unfilial nature to have kept my mother waiting for so long."
"The food just arrived. You've arrived just in time. Come and sit down... Ah! Ming'en, why have you lost weight?"
A trace of heartache flashed in Chen Chunhua's eyes, and she stood up subconsciously.
"Mom, please sit down quickly. My son is fine. He will gain weight again in a few days."
Jiang Yunwan hurriedly said, "I'm afraid Ming'en will have to rest for a long time this time. This time he went to the capital to work as a lawyer, not only did he not get any compensation, but he also got his right hand injured. Ming'en will not be able to write lawsuits for anyone in the future."
"What, brother injured his right hand?" Song Minglang turned his head to look at Song Mingen's right hand.
The others also looked over.
Song Mingen's right hand, which was raised in the air, froze, and after a moment, it slowly fell back.
"Brother, is this true?"
Song Mingen naturally wouldn't ruin Jiang Yunwan's plan. "Don't worry, just take good care of yourself and you'll be fine."
"Brother." Song Minglang walked over and grasped Song Mingen's right hand, exerting force. "Do you feel it? Does it hurt?"
Song Mingen shook his head.
"How about this? Do you feel anything?" Song Minglang suddenly used two fingers to pull out the flesh on the back of Song Mingen's hand, pinching and twisting it hard.
Song Mingen: ...
"Nonsense!" Chen Chunhua suddenly became anxious and raised her hand to hit him.
Jiang Yunwan was one step faster than her and pinched Song Minglang's hand hard.
"Ouch, sister-in-law, let go, it hurts."
"You know it hurts! Doesn't your brother feel the pain? Pinching him like this will only worsen Ming En's injuries!"
"Oh, sister-in-law, I was wrong!"
The servants gritted their teeth and gasped when they saw this.
It was the first time I saw this scene, it was so scary.
"Sister-in-law, stop it." Cui reacted belatedly and reached out to the back of Jiang Yunwan's white and delicate hand.
Jiang Yunwan loosened her grip and pulled Song Mingen back a step.
"Ming En, does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"It doesn't hurt at all, but it's all red and purple from pinching."
Jiang Yunwan was furious. Even if he wasn't her biological brother, she couldn't pinch him like that, right?!
"Wanwan, it's red, but I really can't feel anything in my right hand."
The key is that he can endure it.
"Brother, I feel it, it hurts. Look how my sister-in-law pinched me." Song Minglang raised his hand and said aggrievedly, "You have to decide for me."
Cui agreed, "Yes, big brother, how could sister-in-law pinch Minglang so hard?"
"Okay, shut up, what a mess!"
Chen Chunhua shouted angrily, scaring Cui so much that she shut up immediately.
"You're already in your early thirties, why are you still acting like a child? It's a good thing Rui Ge'er isn't here. Isn't that embarrassing?"
Chen Chunhua turned around and walked to Song Mingen, stroking the back of Song Mingen's hand, which was red from pinching. "Minglang is ignorant, don't blame him."
"Minglang also cares about me."
Jiang Yunwan was speechless. Is this called caring?
It's obviously bullying him!
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
Chen Chunhua pulled him to a seat. "Being a lawyer is hard work and thankless. If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. Our Song family is doing well now, and you don't need to go out and work for a living. Just make enough money to spend. Stay home and spend more time with your mother."
"Okay, mother."
"Here, this is your favorite crystal pork elbow, try it."
Song Mingen was delighted, "Thank you, mother."
Song Minglang felt bad when he saw the loving mother and filial son scene in front of him.
He found that her mother liked her elder brother more and more.
Song Minglang tilted his head and winked at Cui.
"Oh, no!"
Cui suddenly spoke, and Chen Chunhua's heart skipped a beat. "What are you yelling about? You're so startled. Do you still look like a daughter-in-law of the Song family?"
"Mom, Rui Ge'er will be back tomorrow. I forgot to prepare the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone that he asked me to prepare. I have to go to the county now."
Cui stood up and made a move to go out.
"Why go to the county so late? All the shops are closed."
Song Minglang grabbed Cui and said, "It's just a set of brushes, ink, paper and inkstone. Just buy him a set at the county level before Rui enters school."
"How can we be so casual? Our brother Rui finally passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. He needs the best of everything...otherwise, he will be laughed at."
"Joke? Who dares to laugh at our Song family?"
…
Jiang Yunwan frowned. The couple started acting again.
Unfortunately, this play is destined to be in vain.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, please stop arguing. Rui Ge'er is a scholar now, so he really needs the best food, clothing, and daily necessities. It just so happens that I brought back a set of brushes, inkstones, and paper from Pinjiang Pavilion from Yancheng this time. I'll have Zhang Feng deliver it to the West Courtyard later."
Jiang Yunwan: ...
Song Minglang and his wife were flattered. All the items in Pinjiang Pavilion were high-quality goods, worth far more than one hundred taels, and were also the property of the Wen family.
"Brother, this is too expensive. It will cost a lot of money."
Song Mingen said, "Don't worry, third brother. Wen Can lost a bet with me and gave me a set of brushes, inkstones, and paper. Of course, I chose the best quality because I wanted to bring it back to Rui Ge'er."
