Song Yuntang frowned.

"Now that I'm married, of course I have to live in Lushan Village."

Song Jinsheng scratched his head a little embarrassedly and chuckled.

"Then you must take all your valuables with you tomorrow, so that you won't lose them and have nowhere to find them." After thinking for a while, "I think I'd better not live here. There are so many people in the yard now, and you're not here. I'm afraid it will cause misunderstandings if I stay here."

"Okay, it depends on what Second Brother wants." Song Yuntang didn't force him. "If you don't want to stay, I'll move your things out and give it to Tu Shi."

"After the tavern is repaired, I want Brother Mazi and Uncle Cheng to take the lead and build me a courtyard near the mountain spring for summer vacation. When it's finished, I will invite Second Brother to live with me in the blue brick and tile house."

It should be much cooler to escape the heat near a mountain spring in the summer than anywhere else.

Song Jinsheng laughed and said, "Then I have to follow Tang'er and benefit from it."

After lunch, Song Yuntang still gave Qiao Da twenty taels of silver and asked him and Qiao Er to continue to go to the village to collect grain and pile the collected grain directly into the granary.

……

At night, Fang Tianci opened a shop in the side room and the whole family slept together. The two bachelors, Song Jinsheng and Tu Shi, slept together in the granary.

Song Yuntang was worried that he would catch a cold, so he took a quilt from his own bed and gave it to him.

The two men fell asleep with food as pillows, one covered with a quilt and the other with straw. They felt as if they were in the clouds and laughed happily in their dreams.

I woke up and felt under my body. The food was still there, so I went back to sleep.

The next morning, Song Yuntang was awakened by the noisy noise outside.

"Miss Song, someone is coming from your mother's side." Chen shouted outside.

Song Yuntang yawned drowsily, then sat up from the bed. She shook her head, slowly got up, put on her shoes, and changed into her wedding dress.

"Sister Xier, let's do as we agreed before and have Aunt Miao make a pot of sour plum soup for everyone. Once it's cooled down, share it with everyone. You can keep it for dinner after I leave."

She didn't expect that all the Song family members would come. If Song Jinsheng hadn't come to greet her in advance yesterday, she would have been completely unprepared.

Especially my second uncle's family.

Today is a good day, and since someone is here to visit us, it would not be appropriate to kick them out in front of everyone.

But if they dare to act recklessly, there will be someone in charge of her farm.

Aunt Miao used to be the head of the household, so she should know how to handle it.

"Oh, Aunt Miao got up before dawn to make the sour plum soup. The fire in the stove has gone out now. I just asked Tu Shi to fetch some mountain spring water." Chen replied.

As Song Yuntang put on his clothes, he said, "I'll give you some silver later. Go to town and buy ten pounds of meat and two fish. After all, we have guests, so we should be polite. Today, I'll leave the affairs of the farm to you. Don't let them walk around the farm freely, and don't let anyone touch the things on the farm."

"There are so many people around, and if something is missing, it will be difficult to find it."

Chen said hurriedly, "Don't worry, Miss Song. I'll go tell Sister Xia and Brother Tianci to eat some snacks."

Although she had never asked Song Yuntang, she knew it very well in her heart.

If a good girl couldn't stay in her parents' home anymore, what kind of girl would live alone?

It can be seen that there are troublesome people in her family.

Song Yuntang put on his clothes, opened the door, gave Chen a few pieces of silver, and let her go to the town first.

She went out and said hello to the elders of the Song family, then returned to the house to pack her things, including valuables, which she would take with her when she left. There were so many people around today, and she was worried about leaving them on the farm.

Several cousins ​​from my uncle's family, including Qiao Da, Qiao Er and Song Yuntang, greeted each other and then went to work in the wood shed.

The people in the courtyard included the elderly couple Song Xingye and Lin Guifen, the eldest uncle and his wife and three cousins, the second uncle's family of five, and Song Jinbao and his wife, the eldest sister-in-law and three brothers.

There are a total of nineteen people.

The yard was extremely lively for a while.

Ma Zhaolan looked at the farm and the people busy in Song Yuntang's yard, feeling a little surprised.

"What's wrong with these people? Song Yuntang doesn't want the Song family anymore and has come to live with someone else?" When she said this, there was a gloating look on her face.

She didn't believe that a woman like Song Yuntang could earn so much money in a short period of time.

Zhao Qiao'e rolled her eyes at her and said unhappily, "This farm belongs to Tang'er, who is she going to?"

Liu Xiangyun was a little frightened.

Song Yuntang had been away for just over a month, but he already had his own farm!

And there are so many workers on the farm working for her.

It seems that she made a lot of money after leaving the Song family?

Thinking back to before she left Rongshu Village, she was taking orders for handkerchiefs for her family and teaching her husband how to grow bean sprouts. If she hadn't left, wouldn't she be able to live a good life with her family?

She touched her bulging belly.

If I had known this would happen, I should have protected her more.

Ma Zhaolan's eyes flashed with surprise, as if she had thought of something. She smiled again and said in a shrill voice, "Oh, my daughter Mei'er earned five taels of silver for the family after her marriage. I heard that not only did Song Yuntang not give the family a single penny, but you two also took five taels of silver from her?"

She has always disliked Song Yuntang's aloofness.

She thought she was different from others because she had been the eldest daughter of the Lin family for more than ten years. But after all, wasn't she still born into the same peasant family as everyone else?

Now that she had finally found a topic to ridicule the third brother's family, she naturally would not let it go.

Zhao Qiao'e finally stood up for once.

"Yes, yes, your Song Zhimei is valuable. You have to argue with others to give her the five taels. Our family is not selling our daughter. If she wants to take the betrothal gift, she can take it herself. The husband's family pays the betrothal gift, and the wife's family pays the dowry. Isn't this good?"

Ma Zhaolan tilted his mouth and rolled his eyes.

"What about her parents' home? She doesn't even go home. Does she take you seriously? You are the only ones who are trying to please her."

After all, Zhao Qiao'e used to be a timid person.

After hearing what Ma said, I didn't know how to curse back for a moment.

Liu on the side took over.

"Second Aunt, what you said is not true. Before Jinsheng was injured, he was always helping Tang'er. He was supporting the family openly and secretly. But your cousin Song Zhimei, after she went to the Huang family, did she give a penny to the family?"

Ma Zhaolan was choked by Liu Xiangyun's words and snorted immediately.

"Mei'er has only been at the Huang family for a few days? Once she recovers, she'll naturally have money to support the family."

"I'm afraid there's no chance for now?"

Song Yuntang's light voice came from the room.

"Huang Heyu is currently in jail. Song Zhimei came to me for help on her behalf, but she embezzled the twenty taels of silver that Mr. Huang had asked her to bring me. Last time, I went to the Huang family to seek justice, and when Mr. Huang learned the truth, he demoted Song Zhimei to the lowest rank of servant. She's currently working as a servant in the Huang residence to pay off her debt."

She had never told this to anyone before.

Song Zhimei was demoted to the lowest level of slave. On the one hand, for the sake of face, she would not tell her family and would only pretend to be rich. On the other hand, she was probably too busy taking care of herself to contact the Song family.

Isn’t Ma Zhaolan very proud?

I wonder if he can still be proud after hearing that Song Zhimei was demoted to the lowest servant?
