Chapter 149 Attitude of Asking for Help
Chapter 149 Attitude of Asking for Help
Song Yuntang was as if he had just heard a good joke. "A concubine who lost her virginity before marriage is talking to me about shame? Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
"You!" Feeling the contemptuous gazes from passersby, Song Zhimei was extremely annoyed. "Cui Ping, go slap her in the face!"
Cuiping, the maid behind her, bowed slightly and was about to step forward.
Song Jinbao stood up for once.
"Mei'er, you said you came to ask Tang'er to do something for you, so I brought you here. If I had known you would take action, I would never have brought you to see her."
Although he and his daughter did not have a deep relationship, she was his biological daughter after all, so there was no reason for him to let outsiders bully her.
Besides, it was Song Zhimei who provoked first.
Now that she knew where Song Yuntang lived, Song Zhimei was fearless.
"Song Yuntang mocked me first, so Uncle San should just ignore this matter." She said, and ordered Cuiping again, "Smash her mouth for me!"
"Yes."
After Cuiping finished speaking, she was about to bypass Song Jinbao to hit Song Yuntang, but she saw Xu Qingye stand out and protect Song Yuntang behind him.
Seeing this, Song Zhimei said angrily, "Mr. Xu is such a gentleman, but he has to stand up for Song Yuntang, a disrespectful woman?"
Xu Qingye's face showed a cold expression.
"I know Tang'er's character very well, so please be careful with your words. I have never hit a woman, but I don't mind making an exception for her today."
Song Zhimei clutched her handkerchief angrily, and spoke reluctantly after a while.
"Cui Ping, come back!" She turned to look at Song Yuntang with an aggressive attitude, "Why did you report my husband to the county government? After all, he is your brother-in-law now, so you are so intolerant? Or are you jealous that I am richer than the family you married into, and can't stand me living a good life?"
Hearing what Song Zhimei said, Song Yuntang laughed, and his shoulders trembled with laughter, and he couldn't help laughing.
Song Zhimei frowned, looking furious.
"Say something! What are you laughing at?"
Song Yuntang suppressed his smile and looked up at Song Zhimei, "Do you really not know what he did, or are you pretending to be ignorant?"
"I haven't even acknowledged you, so how could I acknowledge his brother-in-law who is completely unrelated to me? You are just one of his many concubines. You need to know your place and stop talking about how important you are in the Huang Mansion."
"Also, you're not very smart, but I'm not stupid. You actually said I was jealous of you? Am I jealous of your Huang Heyu's fickleness and numerous wives and concubines?"
Her response did not give Song Zhimei any face at all.
Song Zhimei was so angry that her face turned blue. She was about to rush forward, but the maid Cuiping beside her pulled her back and whispered a reminder in her ear.
"Auntie, please don't forget what the master reminded us. Since Miss Song is not one to be offended, we must not continue to offend her, otherwise we will be punished by the master when we return."
After hearing the maid's reminder, Song Zhimei became even angrier. She could hardly bear it anymore, so she turned around and slapped the maid. Not only did her palm become numb, but she also knocked the maid to the ground, with blood oozing from the corner of her lips.
As if her anger had subsided a little, she turned around and looked at Song Yuntang.
"The Huang family called me here today because they want you to go to the county town and bail my husband out. You'd better do what the Huang family wants. Otherwise, if Mr. Huang comes in person, he won't be as easy to deal with as I am."
"Is this the attitude of your Huang family when asking for help?" Song Yuntang sneered, "Go back and tell Mr. Huang that this matter is non-negotiable. I will not go to the county town to bail out Huang Heyu!"
Song Zhimei frowned, "Do you really want to refuse my toast and drink the forfeit?"
In fact, when she came, the Huang family gave her twenty taels of silver. The purpose was to let Song Yuntang accept the silver, go to the county town, and bail Huang Heyu out.
But she didn't plan to give the silver to Song Yuntang now.
She hoped that Song Yuntang would offend the Huang family, so that Mr. Huang would come forward to deal with her personally.
Why was it that when she married into the Huang family, her family could only get five taels of silver as a dowry, but when it came to Song Yuntang, she got twenty taels?
He was obviously rich, but he was still stingy even when taking a concubine. She just felt unwilling to accept it.
"That's all I have to say. There's no point in saying more. Even if Mr. Huang were to come in person, I wouldn't change my decision. Goodbye."
After saying that, he pulled Xu Qingye away.
Seeing this, Song Jinbao and Song Jinyuan hurriedly followed with their empty baskets after selling the bean sprouts.
After walking a little further, Song Jinbao asked, "Tang'er, what happened these days? Why did you sue Huang Heyu?"
He vaguely realized that he might have done something wrong again unintentionally.
Tang'er is a principled person. She will never take the initiative to provoke others unless they provoke her.
Song Zhimei had not told him before that she came to see Song Yuntang because of Huang Heyu's matter, so he spontaneously thought that she came to her for medical treatment.
In this situation, Tang'er is afraid that she will blame them again.
Song Yuntang stopped and looked back at the two of them.
When she saw Song Zhimei next to the two of them, she was indeed quite angry and felt a little unfair for the original owner.
Without even knowing what happened, he dared to bring Song Zhimei to his home. Isn't this causing trouble for Chunchun?
On second thought, haven't they always been like this?
There's no hope for them.
"Please use your brains when you do things from now on. Don't you know who Song Zhimei is? Have you forgotten why I left Rongshu Village? You believe her even when she comes to beg me? Do you think someone like her can ask for help properly?"
"I..." Song Jinbao was speechless for a moment. Knowing that he had not considered it carefully, he could only hang his head in frustration and said, "I don't know either."
Xu Qingye next to him also shook his head speechlessly, and told the two of them what had happened two days ago.
"Now that the Huang family knows where Tang'er lives, if Mr. Huang is determined to harm Tang'er, the consequences will be disastrous."
Song Jinbao and Song Jinyuan were both surprised.
"Zhao Zhao actually asked Huang Heyu to climb over Tang'er's courtyard wall?"
Looking at the look of disbelief on their faces, Song Yuntang said calmly, "If you don't believe me, you can go to the county town and ask Master Zhu. The result of Master Zhu's interrogation should not be wrong."
"Dad didn't disbelieve me, but I didn't expect something like this to happen." Song Jinbao stepped forward and said, "Tang'er, why don't you come back to Rongshu Village with us? We all know each other here, and the Huang family wouldn't dare mess around. Besides, you're getting married soon, so it's only right that you marry out of your family. How could a girl abandon her parents' family? If anything happens to you in your husband's family in the future, your parents' family will be your support."
