Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction
Chapter 59 The Farce Escalates
"No, the Song family hasn't discovered anything wrong with Song Dazhi yet. I just find it strange that Song Dazhi's mother hasn't looked for him even though he's been missing for two days." Xia Qingyan found it very strange, after all, Old Mrs. Song really cherished her son, Song Dazhi.
Before she was locked up, she would look for her son every day during meals. After she was locked up, every time she saw her family, her eyes would look at them with a look that seemed to want to tear them to pieces.
However, because Song Dazhi was still locked up inside, the old woman didn't dare to go to their house to cause trouble, for fear that she might impulsively make her son stay inside longer.
"Impossible, right? Although it's a remote place, don't those other two hooligans have families? And if these people woke up, they would definitely be howling like ghosts..." It's unlikely that they didn't notice?
“But if Grandma Fu Bao knew that Song Dazhi’s leg was broken, she wouldn’t be so calm…” After all, he was her beloved youngest son.
"Another possibility is that she went to town this afternoon to see her beloved youngest son. The calm demeanor could also be because she wanted to use the family's money to treat her son's leg. However, because of us, she lost her composure, and in her anger at not finding the culprit and being abandoned by her daughter-in-law, this farce escalated." Treating his leg in the county hospital would cost a considerable amount of money.
Although the old lady was wealthy, she had spent most of her savings on stockpiling food due to the previous famine. She didn't have much money left, so she needed to discuss the matter with her family before deciding to pay for her youngest son's leg treatment.
Xia Yutang sat there tending the fire, listening to her brother and mother's conversation, secretly shaking her head. If Old Lady Song really followed the plan, then she had spent most of her fortune on the drought. She had already stockpiled grain for several years, so she didn't have much left, but Old Man Song did.
Their family used to be long-term laborers for an old landlord. The incident that happened more than ten years ago was caused by Song Fubao's grandfather's report. It can be said that the old landlord's entire family was killed by Song Fubao's grandfather.
Song Fubao's grandfather also secretly took a lot of things from the landlord's house, which he still hasn't brought out. In the original book, the golden finger that her father had was obtained by the female protagonist, Song Fubao, and hidden under the broken water vat next to the toilet in their backyard.
Song Fubao didn't know how she found out, but later she used this space to move all those things away.
The book describes it in quite detail; there were quite a few things, all stored in a pickle jar. There were small yellow croakers, melon seeds, and some gold and silver jewelry, all wrapped in several layers of oiled paper. Another jar contained some silver dollars, some small gold trinkets, two pairs of jade bracelets, and a jade thumb ring.
These things weren't obtained all at once; the extra chapter of that book is Song Fubao's grandfather's autobiography. I heard that he had been collecting these things for many years, stealing them bit by bit.
The jar containing jewelry was looted when he went in with a large group of people to rob the place. He had worked as a farmhand for the landlord for many years, so he knew many things that were unknown to others.
The old man spoke in a high-sounding manner, saying that he saw too many landlords outside and planned to secretly take some things out first, and then take them out after those people had been dealt with.
Ha, back then Xia Yutang thought this old man was really shameless. He was the one who reported him, and he was the one who stole these things with malicious intent...
She suddenly wanted to get rid of these things before the female lead, Song Fubao, discovered them; she didn't want to leave them to Song Fubao's family at all.
Considering their location, it seems a bit difficult, since Old Song's house is located at the entrance of the village where the villagers gather the most.
The area is densely populated, and retrieving those items would take time. She has no reason to enter Song Fubao's house, which makes things a bit difficult.
Furthermore, given his current short stature, I wonder if he's even a meter tall, climbing walls would be virtually impossible for him.
Thinking about it, I decided against it and decided to keep it for now. Anyway, Song Fubao no longer has his cheat ability, so these things are unlikely to fall into his hands. Besides, the youngest son of the Song family urgently needs money, and who knows, the old man might go and take it.
"That's certainly possible. Alright, isn't that farce over yet? Go call your brother back for dinner. Stop watching. If there's any news, we should know by going out for a walk in the village tomorrow." Don't go hungry with those old women. The gossip about the guaranteed admission family, except for anything related to Song Dazhi, is of no use to them.
"I understand, Mom." Xia Xinyan could smell the meat as soon as her mother lifted the pot lid, and now she was thinking about hurrying to get her brother back for dinner.
"Mom, Song Fubao has some golden peanuts..." Xia Yutang thought she could talk to her mother about it, maybe her mother would have a solution.
Wasn't this how they used to put burlap sacks on people before?
"Golden peanuts? Really? Where? Does the Song family still have these?" Liu Fangmei stared at her little girl with bright eyes. Although it was a question, she was still a little excited, after all, the Song couple had both worked for landlords.
In the past, landlords would have these gold and silver melon seeds and peanuts in their homes, which were used for rewards or for giving red envelopes during the New Year.
"Under the broken water vat..." This hint should be obvious enough, after all, there was a broken water vat behind Old Song's house, and her mother should know that.
That broken water vat is quite famous. It's said that it was smashed when Old Lady Song and Old Lady Xia were fighting. This story has been brought up for decades, and almost everyone in the village knows about it.
"The broken water vat, it's in the corner of the backyard. Under the broken water vat?" Liu Fangmei confirmed again.
"Yes, we need to move the water tank..."
“Okay, I understand. They must have gotten these things from the old landlord’s house. That old landlord was the richest family around here. He used to be so powerful. His daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law all wore clothes made of fine silk and satin…” Liu Fangmei began to recall what she had heard about the old landlord’s family.
This old landlord's family was a celebrity in their Red Star Commune. Although someone later tried to find out who reported the old landlord, it seems they couldn't find out.
Actually, Liu Fangmei felt the main reason was that the old landlord's house was deserted, so there was no point in investigating further. Everything in the house had been looted, so even if they found out, what difference would it make? Those people wouldn't return the things.
The saying "the law does not punish the masses" is very apt here. All the villagers who had previously received favors from the old landlord could do was help bury the landlord's family.
Those who went inside that day saw the old landlord's family's unseeing faces as they died, and some even had nightmares and nearly went insane.
