Yang Linyuan slowly tightened the hand behind his back.

But as the son of the Yang family, he also has his own pride.

Look up at her.

"I won't force you. If you still can't change A Rao's mind in half a year, I won't insist on this marriage anymore."

After saying that, he nodded slightly towards Jiang Junwu and Song Yuntang, then turned and left.

Seeing this, Jiang Junwu hurriedly followed.

"Young Master Yang, I'll see you off."

After a moment, Jiang Junwu came back.

"Sister, you scared me to death just now. Since ancient times, parents' orders are determined by matchmakers. Since the Yang family sent a matchmaker to propose the marriage to the Jiang family, if you disagree, you should have asked mother for her opinion. How could you say that directly to Young Master Yang?"

Jiang Surao also felt a little regretful. Before Yang Linyuan left, his face did not look very good.

He was afraid that if she went too far, he would take the opportunity to target the Jiang family.

"Brother, do you also think I should marry into the Yang family?"

Jiang Junwu shook his head.

"There's no right or wrong. The Yang family certainly wants to help our Jiang family, but right now, my sister's happiness is the most important thing." He looked at Jiang Surao, "But everything has its rules. You must not act on your own in the future."

Jiang Surao nodded.

"I see."

Jiang Junwu clasped his fists towards Song Yuntang and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Madam Song."

Song Yuntang nodded. "It's okay. It's getting late now. My husband will be going home soon, so I won't chat with you two any longer."

He turned to look at Jiang Surao, "I'm going to the provincial capital the day after tomorrow. The first shop you'll be joining me in is about to open. As one of the owners, if you want to go with me, we can meet at Liuqiao Street at noon the day after tomorrow. We'll set off right after noon."

Jiang Surao nodded, "I'll see you off."

……

When we came out of Qingyuan Street, it was already past 9:00 p.m.

Song Yuntang brought Xu Wencheng and Nian'er back home, took out a piece of paper and a pen, wrote down the things that needed to be bought in the afternoon, and made a list so that he would not forget when there were too many things to buy.

The medicinal materials have already arrived at the shop, and Xu Changgen and Dahuang were guarding it there last night.

Before leaving yesterday, I gave him some change so that he could have two meals nearby. Today, I have to buy the pots and pans in the kitchen. After opening, I will invite Aunt Wu next door to cook. After the food is ready, I will deliver Xu Qingye's meal to Liuqiao Street. After all, the two places are close to each other, so it won't be a big deal.

When Xu Qingye returned home, he saw the girl sitting behind the desk by the window, thinking.

Today she was wearing a light purple embroidered jacket, a simple silver hairpin on her head, and a pair of white jade earrings on her ears.

The simple dress makes the already pretty girl look even more fresh and refined.

"Tang'er."

Looking up and seeing Xu Qingye entering the yard and the oil-paper bag in his hand, Song Yuntang pursed his lips and smiled.

"What delicious food did you bring?"

"I bought some chestnut cake on the way. Since I haven't bought it before, I brought it back for you to try." He placed the oil paper package in the main hall, went to the backyard to wash his hands, then opened the package, took a piece from it and came into the room.

Seeing that Song Yuntang stopped writing, he reached out and handed the chestnut cake to her.

"Try it."

Song Yuntang didn't reach out to take it. Instead, he tilted his head and took a small bite of the chestnut cake in his hand.

The cake is delicate and sweet, with a unique chestnut aroma that won’t make you feel sick.

Seeing her enjoying the meal, Xu Qingye raised the corner of his lips slightly. He didn't say anything, just stood beside her, watching her make a list while finishing the chestnut cake in his hand.

"Is it tasty?"

Song Yuntang nodded quickly, "It's delicious."

She still wanted to eat more, but Xu Qingye had no intention of giving her a second piece.

"Chestnut cakes are filling. If you eat too much, you won't be able to eat later."

Song Yuntang didn't ask for more. Just as he put down his pen, Xu Wencheng came quickly into the main hall from outside with a tray. He put the tray on the table, took a piece of chestnut cake and put it into his mouth, shouting incoherently.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"

Nian'er cut the braised beef and brought the washed dishes from the backyard.

Song Yuntang sat at the table and looked at Xu Qingye beside him. "I'm going to the provincial capital the day after tomorrow. Is there anything you want me to bring back from the provincial capital?"

Xu Qingye was stunned.

"Is the shop in the provincial capital about to open?"

Song Yuntang nodded. "I've asked the two cousins ​​of the Song family to deliver the goods I made at the farm these days. They'll be on the shelves in the next two days. I'll open the shop over there first, and then I have to start working on the clinic when I get back."

Xu Qingye shook his head.

"I don't have anything I need to bring. Please be careful when you go out."

After the four of them had their meal and took a short rest, Song Yuntang took Xu Wencheng and Nian'er out again.

The carriage turned a street and suddenly stopped.

Song Yuntang was puzzled.

"Wencheng, what's wrong?"

Xu Wencheng's voice came from outside the car curtain.

"Sister-in-law, two beggars stopped our carriage."

He didn't know the two beggars and thought they were trying to stop the carriage to beg.

Song Yuntang lifted the curtain and saw two ragged and dirty-looking men standing in front of him, supporting each other and looking towards the carriage with curiosity.

When they saw her, both of them looked obviously surprised.

It took her a while to recognize the two people.

It was Ma Zhaolan and Song Zhimei who had disappeared for a while.

No wonder Song Zhimei was nowhere to be seen when the Huang family was brought to the county town for interrogation. She must have already escaped from the Huang family at that time.

If I go to her now, I'm afraid it won't be good.

It's really an indestructible cockroach. Even in this state, it can still jump around.

As for Ma Zhaolan's current fate, she was not surprised at all.

The fact that the Ma family withheld the silver she brought back and didn't care about the life and death of their daughter and son-in-law's family shows that the Ma family is not a good family.

After being divorced, Ma was sent back to the Ma family.

Naturally, the Ma family would not accept this divorced daughter. Not only would they have to feed one more mouth to feed, but it would also be bad for the reputation of their own unmarried daughter.

It will also make their family unable to hold their heads up in the village.

Judging from Ma's personality, after being rejected by the Ma family, she should have returned to the Song family to beg for mercy.

But she probably didn't expect that her second uncle would be determined not to want her this time.

"What do you want to do now?" she asked coldly.

Just now, the carriage window curtain was blown open by the wind, and Song Zhimei, who was begging on the street, vaguely saw the familiar face sitting in the carriage through the window.

I thought it was my own eyes.

After all, although Song Yuntang had made some progress in Cile Town, it was not easy for him to buy a carriage, as it would cost nearly a hundred taels of silver.

But she hasn't asked for food yet today, and she is three months pregnant. If she doesn't get something to eat, she's afraid her body won't be able to bear it.

The hunger and hardship of these days made her lower her head, which had once been so high.

She rushed forward, grabbed the edge of the car and begged, "Tang'er, please be kind and give me something to eat. I didn't know what was good for me before, and I deserve to die. I offended you, and I won't dare to do it again."
