Farmhouse Green Plum
Chapter 85 Turnaround
Aunt Meihua held Wang's hand and said earnestly, "Some things are destined for this person. Since Lai Di can come up with such a noble name, it can be said that she is destined to become rich and noble. You two can just wait and think about a peaceful and happy life!"
"Yes, the blessings for you two are still to come..."
The villagers quickly realized that she said this to reduce the anger of Luo Yong and his wife, and they followed suit.
Unexpectedly, Luo Yong and his wife did not appreciate it at all. Wang glanced at Luo Yanxing and said with contempt and disgust: "She can't even recruit a brother, and she is destined to be rich?
I think she is a jinx. After giving birth to her, it has been eight years and there is no sign of pregnancy."
Song Ying was indignant and subconsciously retorted: "You conceived Yan Xing twelve years after you gave birth to Sister Zhao Di. This is clearly a problem between you and Uncle Luo."
Snapped!
A slap landed on her back, causing Song Ying to stagger.
"You stupid girl, you are so outspoken. Why do you interrupt adults when they are talking?"
Li was so angry that he couldn't stop talking at home. Now he dared to say anything outside.
Every family has children, and you never know when an inappropriate word or two might come out of their mouth. The villagers understood this very well and did not hold on to Song Ying's words, accusing her of being shameless.
Wang glared at Song Ying fiercely, with a hint of fear hidden deep in her eyes.
Those fears were hidden deep inside, but Song Ying, who was looking into her eyes, captured them keenly.
She was stunned for a moment, and soon understood what Wang was afraid of. She was afraid that what she said was true and the reason why she could not give birth to a son was because of her.
It was no secret in the village that the couple had difficulty in having children. It was said that it was four years after their marriage that they conceived Zhaodi, and another 12 years later that they conceived Luo Yanxing. After that, Wang's pregnancy never moved again.
Now that they are almost forty years old, it will be even more difficult for them to get pregnant.
Song Ying suddenly felt strange. In most families, if they couldn't give birth to a son, they would put the blame on the woman, but the Luo family was very strange. They put the blame on their two daughters.
The adults of the Song family were present, and Li scolded Song Ying again, and characterized the incident as a child speaking without restraint. Luo Yong and his wife did not want to hold on to it.
Aunt Meihua smiled and brought the topic back, "If you can't have a younger brother, why can't you be rich and noble?
Look at Yuzhi, the daughter of a widowed father, whose family is so poor. In the past, who would have thought that she would have such good fortune? "
Other villagers also tried to smooth things over, "Who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe Lai Di will be able to find a wealthy husband in the future."
Luo Yong stared at her, not appreciating the offer at all: "So what if I marry a rich man? I will live with my son-in-law in the future and rely on him for support? I can't afford to lose this person..."
"Okay, that's enough about the name thing." The village chief stomped on the ground with his cane, signaling everyone to be quiet.
He stared at Luo Yong and said, "Since you two have decided to try changing your name, you should calm down and stop causing chaos in the village all day long."
The village chief had spoken, and Luo Yong and his wife had to suppress their remaining anger.
At this time, Aunt Liu suddenly asked, "Laidi, did you really choose this name yourself? How could you come up with such a cultured name?"
All the villagers looked at Luo Yanxing. They were also curious about this question, but they were busy persuading Luo Yong and his wife and had no time to ask.
The problem of being beaten was temporarily solved. Luo Yanxing breathed a sigh of relief and answered honestly: "Song Ying helped me get it."
"Song Ying? Who is Song Ying?"
"Uh, this..." Luo Yanxing was stunned, only then did he realize that Daya had not yet told her family about the name change.
"It's me. I named myself Song Ying." Plans cannot keep up with changes, and now that things have come to this, Song Ying has no choice but to stand up.
Li was stunned for a moment, then raised his voice to question, "You gave yourself a name too?!"
Song Ying nodded, and then was kicked.
"You've been instigating this and that all day long. I was wondering why Lai Di wanted to change her name for no reason. It turns out you were the one behind it!"
Obviously, Li remembered that Song Ying had instigated Xu Yulan to find Xu Yuzhi to learn how to read, and she immediately felt angry and scared.
Luo Yanxing quickly said, "Grandma Li, it wasn't Song Ying who instigated me to do this. I also wanted to change my name, so I asked her to help me choose one."
"Laidi, you don't have to help her cover up. Grandma Li tells you that even though you two have a good relationship, you shouldn't listen to her on everything. You should have your own ideas when doing things."
Li was very worried that Song Ying would instigate other girls, especially the two close to her, to do shameless things, which would make the Luo and Zhao families embarrassed.
But in front of so many people, she couldn't say it clearly, so she could only vaguely tell Luo Yanxing not to listen to Song Ying in everything.
Luo Yanxing also understood what Li was talking about, and whispered in defense: "We know the limits."
The villagers didn't know that Song Ying wanted to learn to read from Xu Yuzhi, so they thought that Li was also angry that Song Ying chose his own name, and they half teased and half advised:
"Oh Aunt Li, you were just trying to persuade them, but now it's your turn, you can't change your mind.
The new name Daya is not bad, not worse than your family's Song Tian and Song Yuan, so you have made a good deal."
Li was speechless.
Song Ying saw this and took advantage of people not paying attention to lean over to Luo Yanxing's ear and whispered in a low voice: "I think I don't need to be beaten anymore."
Luo Yanxing glanced at the people who were joking and whispered in their ears: "Actually, I didn't get hit at all. I saw my father picked up the pole and ran away. He didn't catch up."
"Your father beat you, and you dared to run away!"
"I didn't want to do that. I knelt down obediently. Who could have thought that he would use a carrying pole and swing it at me!
Ouch, luckily I ran fast, if I had been hit, I would have been half dead."
Among the adults present, only Chen understood what Li was worried about, so she quickly changed the subject and came to Li's rescue.
"Daya, why did you come up with the idea of naming Lai Di Yan Xing?"
The villagers stopped teasing Li and looked at Song Ying with inquiring expressions.
How could it not arouse people's imagination when an illiterate girl from the mountain village was given such an elegant name?
Song Ying keenly noticed their mood changes, pursed her lips, and explained from the beginning: "On the night of the Lantern Festival, we met Yuan Qing from the next village while visiting the lantern festival. He helped us guess lantern riddles. The name Yan Xing was taken from one of the lantern riddles."
Xiaoxiang, who was equally thoughtful, also noticed the inquiry behind the adults' questions and helped out by saying, "This riddle is about the lantern of Song Ying, uh, Daya, which goes and comes back in the wind, and geese fly in a slanting formation in front of the peaks."
"So that's how it is." The villagers suddenly realized and began to praise Song Ying.
"Oh, this girl has a good memory. She can remember such flowery words. When my Xiao Cui came back, she only remembered the beautiful lanterns and fun gadgets."
