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

Song Yuntang shook his head decisively, "I won't marry them, and I won't give them a penny. Don't worry about this matter. I will find a solution myself."

Song Jinbao looked at her and asked, "What can you do? Go to the Lin family?"

"Don't look for them." Song Yuntang approached Song Jinbao and Song Jinyuan, took their pulses, and after confirming that they had no internal injuries, he spoke again, "I'm going to go to the mountains and pick some medicine for you."

After saying that, he walked out of the main room, took the basket and small hoe that Liu usually used to dig wild vegetables from under the eaves, and walked out of the yard.

Song Jinsheng reacted and chased after him in a few steps.

"Can you hold a hoe with that hand? Don't let it get rubbed again, or you'll be crying in front of us again."

The four people in the main room looked at this scene, stunned and unable to believe it.

When did Song Yuntang take the initiative to run into the mountains?

Not only is she usually afraid of hard work, but even a bug on a vegetable leaf can scare her to the point of losing her composure. Today is the first time like this.

Song Jinbao touched the back of his head, looking puzzled. "Isn't this girl upset by something?"

Zhao Qiao'e shook her head. "After what happened yesterday, who would dare to provoke her?"

Song Jinbao looked at the wound on his body, then at his eldest son, "It seems that this wound is not completely useless."

"Tang'er said she wanted to go collect herbs. Does she know about medicinal herbs?" Song Jinyuan was puzzled.

Song Jinbao said as a matter of course, "After all, I have been in the Lin family for more than ten years, so it is not surprising that I know a few medicinal herbs."

Zhao Qiao'e sighed, patted her chest and walked towards the kitchen.

"For the past two days, I've been so worried about that girl that I don't know what to do. Once the Huang family's affairs are settled, I will definitely take her to Qing'an Mountain to pay my respects."

Song Jinbao nodded and said, "Go and worship, it will give you peace of mind."

……

Song Yuntang went up the mountain accompanied by Song Jinsheng.

The area around the mountain is deserted. Not to mention wild vegetables and medicinal herbs, even grass is rare, and the ground is trampled bare.

The two of them walked towards the deep mountains and wandered around for a quarter of an hour. They picked a few stalks of clematis and also picked a few fruits with a slightly sweet and sour taste.

After returning home, Song Yuntang found a stone mortar, crushed the bone-penetrating grass, and applied it to the more seriously injured areas of the two people.

His movements were so skillful, as if he had done this thousands of times before.

Looking closely, her palm, including the place where it was rubbed when she held the stone pestle, was already red. Song Jinbao's gaze moved up along the back of her white and tender hand.

"Is your hand okay?"

"It's okay, you'll get used to it."

Song Yuntang said it lightly, but Song Jinbao felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it.

"From now on, just direct your brothers and sisters to do these things. It's because your parents are incompetent that they can't give you a life as good as the Lin family."

Song Yuntang was stunned for a moment, then said calmly, "I can't always rely on others for everything."

"They are not others, they are all your closest relatives."

Song Yuntang was unmoved. "Then let them give more care to Lin Zhaozhao. I don't need it."

Hearing this, Song Jinbao sighed.

"After all, you are our biological child. Why bother comparing yourself to Zhao Zhao? She has already been taken away by the Lin family."

"Even if she's been taken away, it doesn't diminish her importance in your hearts, does it?" Song Yuntang said in a calm voice, "But she's lived here for over a decade after all. I understand why you can't let her go, just like I couldn't let go of the Lin family before. It doesn't matter. I've also figured it out. Parents and brothers may be fake, but I am the only one who is real."

She applied the last bit of medicine, picked up the tools and turned to leave the main room.

Song Jinyuan looked at his father thoughtfully.

"Dad, you said Tang'er didn't want to get close to us. Is it because we always mentioned Zhao Zhao before? And compared her to Zhao Zhao?"

Liu beside him spoke.

"No girl wants to compare herself with others, especially when comparing her weaknesses with others' strengths. You guys keep mentioning Zhao Zhao. I always thought you liked Zhao Zhao better than Tang Er."

Song Jinbao shook his head. "Zhao Zhao lived in our family for thirteen years. We all really liked her, but she's not our biological daughter after all. How can she really compare to Tang'er?"

"But Tang'er doesn't know. Even I, who came later, thought you liked Zhao Zhao more."

After hearing what Liu said, the father and son looked at each other and fell silent.

……

After Song Yuntang cleaned the tools, he placed them on the counter at the kitchen door to dry.

She went into the house and counted the money she had left that day. After deducting the money for the ox cart and the coarse rice, she had nine cents of silver and twenty-one copper coins left. Five cents of silver was the balance for the custom-made silver needles, and this money must not be touched.

The remaining four taels of silver and twenty-one copper coins were at her disposal.

Song Yuntang had just hidden his money when there was a knock on the door.

"Tang'er, can I come in?" It was Zhao Qiao'e's voice.

Song Yuntang frowned in confusion, stood up and opened the door, looking at her indifferently, "Is there something wrong?"

Zhao Qiao'e entered the house and unfolded the handkerchief in her hand. Inside lay three small pieces of silver, which looked to be about five cents.

"Jinsheng said he collected money from you to buy rice. Take these small pieces of silver."

Song Yuntang didn't answer it. "Forget it, I'll eat at home too."

Zhao Qiao'e stuffed the silver into her hands and said, "Take it. Although our family is poor, we can't use your money. You've lived a good life before. If you have some extra money, you can live a more comfortable life."

After saying that, he turned around and went to the kitchen to cook.

Song Yuntang calmly put away the silver and was about to go out, but he heard Song Jinyuan's anxious voice coming from the direction of the main hall.

"Xiangyun, are you okay?"

Zhao Qiao'e, who was busy in the kitchen, threw away the tongs in her hand and ran towards the main hall in a hurry, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Song Jinsheng, who was chopping wood, also threw down his axe and walked towards the main room.

Liu Xiangyun is a pregnant woman and her situation is special. Song Yuntang knows that she might not be able to go out as planned.

She walked towards the main hall and pushed aside the people who were surrounding Liu Xiangyun and calling out to her anxiously, "Spread out a little. If you keep surrounding her like this, the patient will have difficulty breathing."

After hearing her words, several people took a step back.

Song Yuntang squatted down beside Liu Xiangyun, picked up her wrist and took her pulse.

After a moment, she said calmly, "It's not a big problem. Just improve your nutrition, take some pregnancy-preserving medicine, and get some rest."

Perhaps he was frightened by seeing Song Jinyuan injured, or perhaps he was worried about the future after hearing the threats from the Huang family.

In short, her fainting seemed to have something to do with herself.

Zhao Qiao'e was filled with worry. "It's really like a house leaking in the rain. How can we have extra money to buy pregnancy-preserving medicine right now?"

Song Yuntang stood up and said, "Help her go back to bed and rest first. I'll write a prescription later. Whoever is free tomorrow can go to town. I'll pay for the medicine first."

Song Jinyuan looked up at her and asked, "Why don't you ask a doctor to come and take a look?"

"If you don't trust me, just scream." After saying that, he turned and left the main room.
