The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Song Yuntang felt a surge of fear. If she had really fallen off the ox cart, with her fragile body, she would have suffered minor injuries at best, or even broken bones at worst.

Although she will be able to heal herself in the end, she will inevitably suffer some pain.

Song Jinsheng realized it belatedly and grabbed Song Yuntang's other arm, looking her up and down with a worried look on his face.

"Tang'er, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Song Yuntang looked at Xu Qingye, "Thanks to Mr. Xu for helping me just now."

Xu Qingye was as indifferent and distant as ever.

"It's a small effort, nothing worth mentioning."

Song Jinsheng also thanked Xu Qingye. All the way thereafter, he kept holding Song Yuntang's arm, fearing that she would fall again.

After less than half an hour, when the ox cart passed by Rongshu Village, Song Yuntang, Song Jinsheng and Xu Qingye got off the cart together.

Song Jinsheng carried rice, Song Yuntang carried a backpack, and Xu Qingye carried his rice paper and medicine bag. They walked around the banyan tree together and appeared in the sight of the villagers of Rongshu Village.

When the villagers saw the combination of the three people, they couldn't help whispering.

"Why is Mr. Xu walking with the girl from Old Third Song's family?"

"Didn't I hear that the girl from the Song family was so depressed that she tried to commit suicide yesterday? It's only been a night, and she's already running to town. It seems like everything is fine now."

"Even after returning to your own home, you're still thinking about the prosperity of the Lin family. You really think you're still that wealthy young lady surrounded by people. You don't even think about how much burden you've added to Song Lao San's family over the years."

"If you ask me, the Huang family's marriage is not bad. For a poor family like us, as long as we can fill our stomachs, what's the big deal about being a concubine?"

"Who said it wasn't? But she just didn't appreciate it. This morning, Song Lao San took his son Jin Yuan to Shili Village. When he came back, his face was bruised and swollen. I'm afraid he went to cancel the engagement."

"This girl is really a source of worry. Ma has put a lot of thought into this marriage, but I'm afraid it will all be in vain."

Seeing the three people approaching, these people greeted Xu Qingye one after another, especially those whose families had children studying in the village school. Their expressions were as attentive as they could be.

Song Jinsheng and Song Yuntang had no time to pay attention to the looks of these people.

When they heard the words "bruised nose and swollen face", the two looked at each other, and without caring about anything else, they said goodbye to Xu Qingye and quickened their pace to go home.

Their house is at the end of the village.

When they returned home, the gate was open and there was no one in the yard. As soon as the two of them appeared at the door, several pairs of eyes in the main room looked over.

There were Song Jinbao and Song Jinyuan with bruised faces and noses, Zhao Qiao'e with red eyes, and Liu Xiangyun who was treating Song Jinyuan's injuries with a look of heartache.

There was also Ma Zhaolan, who was chased out by Song Yuntang with a broom yesterday, and the old couple of the Song family with half-white hair.

Seeing that there were strangers at home, Song Jinsheng didn't ask any questions and carried the brown rice to the kitchen first.

Ma Zhaolan looked at Song Yuntang who walked into the main room with a gloating look.

"What did I say yesterday? I said that Mr. Huang is not easy to deal with, right? He asked me to be the middleman to discuss this marriage, which was already a favor to you because you had been in the Lin family for so many years. Otherwise, he would have sent someone to carry you back directly. In my opinion, you'd better marry me obediently, so that our whole family won't suffer because of you."

After saying that, he rolled his eyes at her with disdain.

Song Yuntang's eyes were a little cold. She first roughly observed the injuries of Song Jinbao and Song Jinyuan. Seeing that they only had superficial injuries and did not seem to be seriously injured, she looked at Ma Zhaolan, who had a smug look on her face.

"People like Second Aunt are so noisy and annoying. If she can't speak, she'd better donate her mouth!"

Ma Zhaolan's eyes widened, and he turned to point at Song Yuntang and look at the two elders of the Song family standing beside him.

"Listen, Dad and Mom! This is how this damned girl talks to her elders. Yesterday, she even hit me with a broom. She has absolutely no manners at all! If this continues, will there be any law?"

"Tang girl, even if your second aunt's words were unpleasant, you should respect your elders and apologize to your second aunt quickly." Song Xingye said sternly.

"I'm not wrong. I won't apologize." Song Yuntang straightened his back. "This matter has developed to the point where we are in a dilemma. It is closely related to my second aunt. If anyone should apologize, she should be the one."

Ma Zhaolan said sharply, "I have good intentions in finding you a good match, but you are blaming me instead. You are like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, you don't know what is good for you!"

Song Yuntang glared at her coldly, "How can being a concubine be considered a good marriage? If you think it's so good, just go for it yourself! You can just make the money from the matchmaker and the betrothal gifts at the same time."

After hearing this, Ma Zhaolan was so angry that he felt all the blood rushing to his brain.

Song Xingye stood up, raised his hand to stop Ma Zhaolan who was about to explode, and turned to look at Song Yuntang with a serious expression.

"No matter what, she is your elder!"

Song Yuntang looked indifferent.

"I said it yesterday. If you want to be my elder, Song Yuntang, you must first act like one. After all, I've died once, so there's really nothing to be afraid of. If you force me to do something I don't want to do again, the worst that can happen is that both of us will die. Anyway, if I'm not happy, you won't feel any better either."

Her tone was light and there was a sinister smile on her face, which looked extremely creepy.

Song Xingye wanted to teach her a lesson, but he was afraid that Song Yuntang would really go crazy. In the end, his face turned red, but he still couldn't utter a word.

I'm not afraid of cruel people, I'm afraid of crazy people.

This girl doesn't even care about her own life, who knows what else she might do.

Zhao Qiao'e was also shocked when she heard what Song Yuntang said, and hurried forward to protect her behind her and smooth things over.

"Dad, Tang'er is still a child. Don't take her words seriously. Don't bother with her."

The eldest brother, Song Jinyuan, also covered the bruised corner of his mouth and said, "Master, you know that Tang'er has always been straightforward and has no ulterior motives. She is actually not a bad person."

"You always say she's still young, that she just returned to the Song family and shouldn't be embarrassed. We're both sixteen, but she can't even compare to Zhao'er's fingers! Just protect her. I wonder what kind of person you're going to spoil her into!" Song Xingye suddenly felt very bored. "I'm old. I can't and don't want to intervene in the Huang family's affairs. Do whatever you want. Just don't mess with the eldest and second families."

After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.

Seeing her old man walk away, Lin Guifen looked at Zhao Qiao'e and Song Jinbao, "You are really confused. You change your mind every day for a girl you can't raise, and you even give up your family."

After saying that, he sighed, shook his head and left.

Seeing that the two elders had left, Ma Zhaolan naturally lost the confidence to stay here, especially after seeing Song Yuntang's cold eyes, he hurriedly followed Song Xingye and the other elders and ran away in shame.

After everyone had left, Song Yuntang looked at Song Jinbao.

"What did the Huang family say?"

Song Jinbao sighed, "They said that since we've already agreed to this, calling off the engagement now would be a slap in their face. Either send you over, or pay them fifty taels of silver as compensation for the loss of our reputation, otherwise we won't be able to stay in Rongshu Village."

Song Jinsheng, who had just walked into the main hall when he heard these words, was extremely excited. "Fifty taels? Even if I sold myself, I couldn't get fifty taels. Isn't this asking too much?"

Liu looked at the few people with a hint of confusion and fear in her eyes. She had only been married for a year, and now her child was still in her belly, but her husband's family had encountered such a desperate situation.

How should I live my life from now on?

She cried, looking at Song Yuntang helplessly, "Tang'er, why don't you reconsider it?"
