Chapter 160 Going to the Huang Family
"Second brother is a patient now. The first priority is to recuperate. Go to sleep first. We will take care of the rest." Song Yuntang said as he helped him up and sent him to his room.
Song Jinsheng stood at the door and refused to go in.
"Tang'er, why did you push me into your room? I can just find a place to deal with it."
"The bed next door hasn't been set up yet, so Second Brother will sleep here tonight. Tomorrow I'll have Uncle Qiao and Second Uncle Qiao build a simple bed for Second Brother, and then he can sleep in the next room."
There are three rooms in this courtyard.
There was one room for Chen's mother and son, one for Song Yuntang, and the remaining room was just enough for Song Jinsheng to live in first.
Song Jinsheng couldn't persuade Song Yuntang, so he had to go to her room to rest.
Song Yuntang gently closed the door and came into the yard.
After experiencing such a thing, she couldn't sleep for a while, so she sat down with Xu Qingye by the door of the main room.
Looking at the full moon in the sky, I suddenly felt annoyed.
"Xu Qingye, I have no intention of hurting anyone, so why do they always come to make me unhappy? The Lin family is like this, the Huang family is like this, and even the people in Rongshu Village are not friendly to me."
When Xu Qingye heard her words, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"I don't blame you. It's their fault." He touched the head beside him and looked at the full moon in the sky again. "Master Liaowu once told me that all encounters, joys and sorrows, are determined by the heart. If you can see through it and let go, then everything will be like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water."
He lowered his head and looked at the girl's profile.
"No need to exhaust yourself. Just do whatever you want to do. As long as you have a clear conscience, you still have me."
Song Yuntang leaned on his arm with peace of mind.
"You know Master Wu?"
Xu Qingye hummed, "Should I introduce him to you next time?"
Thinking of the last time she and Zhao went to Fayun Temple, Master Liaowu seemed to be able to see through her, and Song Yuntang felt a chill on her back.
She shook her head.
"J."
The two chatted intermittently, and before they knew it, Song Yuntang fell asleep.
Moonlight poured down like a waterfall. Xu Qingye looked at the girl who was sleeping on his arm with gentle eyes. The throbbing when he first saw her was still vivid in his mind. He raised his hand to tuck the loose hair on her face behind her ears. He was afraid of waking her up, so he didn't dare to move at all for the whole night.
……
The next morning, when Song Yuntang woke up, it was already bright.
I turned my head to look at the man next to me. He had his eyes closed. His profile was also very handsome, with long eyelashes that cast shadows on his eyelids.
As if noticing that she had woken up, the man beside her lashes trembled and he opened his eyes.
"woke up?"
"Yeah, I'm awake." Song Yuntang stood up and stretched, then walked towards the room where Song Jinsheng was.
Hearing the noise outside, there was finally some noise in the originally quiet room of Chen's mother and son. Chen Xier went out and went to the kitchen to cook. Fubao did not disturb the adults and squatted in the corner playing with his rabbit puppet.
As for the two grasshoppers and crickets, they had already turned into a pile of grass.
Song Yuntang stood outside the house and knocked on the door. "Second brother, are you awake? How are you feeling?"
Upon hearing this, Song Jinsheng turned over, grimacing in pain, feeling as if his whole body was about to fall apart.
Song Yuntang hurried over and held his shoulders.
"If it really hurts, just lie down and take it easy. There's no rush. I'm going to go out after breakfast. Second brother, you should rest more in the house today. Uncle Qiao, Brother Mazi, and Uncle Cheng will take care of the farm and the wine shop. Don't worry."
Song Jinsheng nodded, "Okay."
After dinner, Song Yuntang and Xu Qingye went to Shili Village.
The Huang family is a well-known landlord in the surrounding area. They have land in several nearby villages, and many farmers make a living by renting their land.
The most valuable thing in the countryside is land, and the least valuable thing is also land.
The Huang family’s house is very large and looks much more imposing than ordinary blue brick and tile houses.
The two stood in front of the gate of the Huang Mansion. Song Yuntang stepped forward and knocked on the door loudly. Soon the door was opened by the servants.
"you are?"
"I'm Song Yuntang, and I'm here to see Mr. Huang." She stated her purpose directly.
In the courtyard, Mr. Huang seemed to have heard the noise outside, and a strong voice came.
"Let her in!"
Song Yuntang walked around the screen wall and came to the courtyard. Mr. Huang was sitting on a recliner under the eaves, rocking the recliner, squinting his eyes and smoking opium, looking very comfortable.
"I came here today mainly to ask Mr. Huang why he ordered someone to beat my second brother yesterday."
Mr. Huang chuckled.
"Miss Song took the money but didn't do the job, you can't blame me."
Song Yuntang frowned, "When did I ever accept money from the Huang family?"
Mr. Huang then sat up straight from his recliner and looked at her. "What's the matter? Miss Song, are you trying to embezzle the twenty taels of silver from my Huang Mansion and deny it?"
When he saw the girl's appearance clearly, Mr. Huang's eyes flashed with surprise.
No wonder my boy always has his eye on this girl from the Song family. She is truly a beauty.
The kid has really good taste.
"Miss Song came alone?"
"And me." Xu Qingye also walked out from behind the screen wall.
Mr. Huang was stunned for a moment, then stood up and raised his hand towards Xu Qingye, "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry for not welcoming you."
His eyes lingered on the two of them.
"I wonder what your relationship is?"
"Tang'er is my future wife." Xu Qingye looked at him and said, "Before coming to the Huang Mansion today, I sent a letter to the county magistrate. Mr. Huang's men beat up my future brother-in-law. If you don't give me an explanation, I will hand the matter over to the county magistrate to decide, so that Mr. Huang and Mr. Huang can go to be together."
When Mr. Huang heard this, he panicked. He hurried forward, and his expression was completely different from before.
"It's not my intention to hit anyone. To be honest, Yuhe recently took a concubine, also from the Song family. I thought that if the Song family intervened, Miss Song might show some leniency, but Miss Song actually took the money and didn't do the job. Yesterday, on a moonlit night, my poor son was still in jail in the county government office. I was so angry that I sent the servants to the town to teach her a lesson. Mr. Xu, you can't protect her just because she is your wife-to-be."
When Song Yuntang heard this, he knew that it was Song Zhimei who was behind it.
"I haven't even seen a single copper coin from the Huang family's silver. If Mr. Huang doesn't believe me, he can ask that concubine to confront me."
Xu Qingye also said.
"I was there when the Huang family's concubine went to see Tang'er that day, and Tang'er did not accept the money from the Huang family."
Mr. Huang frowned and gave instructions to the servants not far away.
"Go and call Concubine Song from Yuhe Courtyard!"
After a while, Song Zhimei came over, twisting her waist. "Father-in-law, I heard from the servants that you have something to talk to me about?"
