"You silly child, why are you bothering the village head? You don't need to trouble others with your own family matters. Here's what we'll do: Dahai, since you're building a house for Yan'er's wedding, I won't say anything. But Song Fu and Song Gui already have children, so it's really not suitable for them to live together. Lend me another fifty taels of silver, and I'll go to the village head to buy another piece of land."
"Second Uncle, my family is about to build a house, where would we get the money to lend you!"
Seeing that Song Yan'er had repeatedly stopped Song Dahai from giving him money, Song Fu, with a sinister look on his face, walked toward Song Yan'er.
If you die, will this land be mine, and will my uncle's money also be mine?
He casually picked up a wooden stick from the wall, walked behind Song Yan'er, and slowly raised his hand. Because Song Dahai and his wife were standing with Song Yan'er, they couldn't see Song Fu's movements. However, Song Erbo's family was opposite Song Yan'er, so they could see Song Fu's movements clearly, but they didn't stop him. In fact, they even showed excited expressions in their eyes!
"Ah!" With a scream, Song Fu almost heard the cracking sound of his bones breaking. Xiao Yang stood silently, one foot on Song Fu's chest.
Only then did everyone realize what Song Fu had done!
"Brother, I don't think I've done anything to wrong you! Why are you so cruel! That thick stick would have hit me on the head if it weren't for Xiao Yang!"
"Dad, Mom, I'm so scared!" Good riddance! It lets Song Dahai and his wife see what kind of people Song Erbo's family really are. The reason Song Erbo's family has become like this is arguably because Song Dahai spoiled them! Based on that blood relation alone, the original owner and Song's mother suffered a lot!
Song Dahai couldn't believe his honest, simple nephew could do such a thing! His voice trembled as he said:
"Song Fu, what are you doing? It's my fault, it's all my fault! I was just thinking about the warmth from your childhood, and I've spoiled you all so much that you've become such inhuman creatures! Get out of my house! Don't ever come back to my house again!"
Uncle Song didn't take the matter seriously, but fearing that Song Dahai would be angry, he quickly pretended to be pitiful and said:
"Dahai, Song Fu was just momentarily blinded by greed, he didn't mean it, so please forgive him for a while. Dahai, can you lend me forty taels? It's really chaotic at home every day, so please try to be considerate of your second brother, okay?"
"Second Brother, I really have no money left. Yan'er needs money right now." Song Dahai had figured it out. What nonsense about blood ties! If Song Fu can give Yan'er a beating now, he can give me one later! Second Uncle Song didn't care about Song Fu's life or death. In his eyes, nothing was more important than money. How could someone like that expect his son to support him in his old age? Dream on!
"Oh dear, Dad, I feel so dizzy. Did I scare you? But I'm really heartbroken. I never thought Brother Song Fu could be so cruel to me. Do I have to give him everything I have to be good to him and get a little bit of his conscience back?" Song Yan'er was afraid that Song Dahai would soften his heart, so she continued to apply eye drops.
With slightly red eyes, Song's mother hugged Song Yan'er, saying, "Yan'er, don't be afraid. Your things are your things. Your mother is here! Your mother is here, don't be afraid! Be good." Then she gestured to Song Dahai: Let them go!
Although Uncle Song is the older brother, Uncle Song is still intimidated by Song Dahai because Song Dahai has been hunting since childhood and is quick-witted. He also worked as a镖师 (bodyguard/escort) for two years after growing up. However, Song Dahai is a sentimental person and will generally fulfill any reasonable request.
Song Yan'er is Song Dahai's bottom line. Now that Song Fu has made his move, Song Dahai will no longer allow them to cause trouble!
Uncle Song, being clever, also realized this. He understood that if he left now, he wouldn't benefit from it in the future! So, Uncle Song's eyes lit up:
"Hey, Dahai, isn't there a carriage here? It must be worth fifty taels! Please have pity on me and let me take it. I promise I'll never borrow money from you again!"
Song Dahai was also completely incredulous that his own second brother had said such a thing. This was utterly shameless!
"Second Uncle, you're so shameless! You give me a carriage out of pity, so why don't you pity me too and give me a carriage as well!"
"Get out, get out now!" he said, picking up a stick and hitting Song Fu with it! He couldn't beat the father, but he could still take it out on the kid!
"Ah, Uncle, stop hitting me! I'll leave, I'll leave, okay?" Why am I the one who's injured?!
The family came full of fighting spirit, but left looking disheveled!
Because of the commotion caused by Uncle Song's family, everyone except Song Yan'er was in a bad mood! So when Song Yan'er brought the medicine to the two elders, she drank it down without saying a word!
"Dad, Mom, come see your little darling!" Song Yan'er tried her best to coax the two elders! But it wasn't working! Song Yan'er had to resort to her trump card!
"Mother, there's something I've been hiding from you."
"What is it?" Song's mother asked, puzzled. Song Fu also became interested. His daughter couldn't keep anything to herself; he wondered what she was hiding that she was bringing it up now!
"Actually, I sold the ginseng for 250 taels, and I kept 50 taels for myself! Surprising, isn't it!"
Song's mother was both amused and exasperated.
"I thought it was something serious! You're getting married soon, and you're supposed to keep all the money yourself! I almost forgot. Here, take these two hundred taels too. This is what you earned yourself; use it for your own little family in the future!"
"Isn't this money for building a house? Why are you giving it to me?!"
"Your mother and I will pay for the house construction. You can keep whatever you earn yourself!" Considering that her daughter would eventually have to live with Xiao Yang's family, it was better to have some money on hand.
"These are the blueprints for the house I want to build. Are you sure you want to provide them? This isn't cheap!"
Song Dahai took the blueprints from his daughter's hand. "Wow, how big of a house are you planning to build! I've never seen a house like this before. Where did you get this from?"
Tell me, is it possible to find a man-made one?
“What my daughter wants, I must give her,” he said, silently taking back the two hundred taels of silver from Song Yan’er’s hand.
"Alright, we'll have the money later, don't worry. I'll take you all with me when I settle down there! Don't always think about not having a son; daughters are no less capable than men." Song's mother had been burdened by the lack of a son her whole life, always feeling down. Hearing her daughter's words, she understood that her daughter was trying to comfort her. Not wanting her to worry, she forced herself to cheer up.
"Okay, I'll take care of my precious grandson in the future!"
Good heavens, isn't this a bit of a leap!
...
After drinking the basic body-strengthening medicine for seven consecutive days, all the impurities in her body were finally expelled! Song Yan'er's transformation was undoubtedly the most dramatic! Her previously dull skin had faded, and now it was as smooth and supple as a peeled egg! Her bright eyes, long eyelashes, straight and delicate nose, and rosy lips made her look like a beautiful elf! The scar on her forehead had also faded considerably! Song Yan'er looked at her face, almost identical to her previous life, with satisfaction in her spatial dimension!
"Sigh, I really don't know how I ended up here. Same name, same appearance, could this be my past life?" Song Yan'er thought wildly!
