Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 284 Humble

After a pause, Song Ying reminded again: "Remember, give them to grandma first. I bought these mainly to honor her!"

Song Yuan glanced at the extremely angry Li and whispered, "I know, I know, sister, please say less."

If he continued talking, he was worried that his grandmother would be so angry that she wouldn't be able to eat.

Song Ying was also very angry. It was not that she wanted to make trouble with Li, but Li was just looking for trouble. She was just delayed because of something else and did not help to clean up the house. It was not a big deal, but she acted as if she had committed a huge mistake.

During the Chinese New Year, she doesn't have to work in the fields. All she has to do at home is cook, sweep the floor, and feed the ducks and cows. With so many people at home, it won't matter if she's missing.

Song Yuan took the basket to the kitchen, and Song Ying said to Song Tian, "Song Tian, why are you still standing there? There are guests at home, move the chairs!"

Song Tian didn't want to listen to her instructions, but thinking about the candy buns she had just mentioned, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and waved to move the chair.

Song Ying also went into the room and brought out two chairs, one for Song Ergu and one for himself to sit on.

The chairs Song Tian moved were given to Li Hao and Li Wei to sit on.

Song Ergu finally had the chance to ask, and Song Ying picked out the events of the past year and told them the key points.

Second Aunt Song was stunned, and the two brothers Li Hao and Li Wei were also dumbfounded.

After just one year's absence, Song Ying has changed a lot.

He had a formal name, could recognize words, and studied medicine under a master.

Halfway through the story, Li couldn't help but interrupt, saying that Song Ying was selling herbs to make money for himself and was instigating the girls in the village to make trouble with his family.

Song Ying easily refuted her accusation with his original words, which made Li very angry.

Second Aunt Song felt as if she were in another world when she saw Song Ying confronting Li without showing any fear.

But in her heart, she couldn't help but wonder, if she had the courage of her niece, wouldn't she not be scolded by her mother-in-law and unable to raise her head?

Song Yuan distributed the food that Song Ying brought back to everyone, and then took advantage of the gap between Li and Song Ying and asked, "Sister, is the person who was stepped on that day dead?"

Song Ying didn't want to continue arguing with Li, so he followed up the topic and said, "It's him, but he's not dead yet. He woke up at the end of the Yin hour this morning. If there's no accident, his life should be saved."

"He just woke up this morning!" Song Yuan was shocked.

"He was seriously injured. His broken ribs punctured his lungs, his spleen was injured, and there were multiple bleeding spots in his body."

These words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"The lung is punctured? Can he still survive?" Song Tian asked in surprise.

"Yes..." Song Ying immediately told Han Zhijie about his injury. The Song family finally stopped their tit-for-tat quarrels and became lively again.

As usual, it was around the end of the Si hour or the beginning of the noon hour when Aunt Song and her family arrived, and the Song family home became even more lively.

After lunch, Song Ying no longer acted like a guest and followed Yang to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

When they came out after cleaning up, they saw only Uncle Song and Uncle Cheng in the main room. Song Tian, Song Yuan and three cousins were playing in the yard. There was no sign of Li and Aunts Song.

Song Ying quickly realized that they must have gone to Li's bedroom to have a private conversation, thinking about what Song Ergu said last year when Li Wu beat her.

Song Ying quietly moved to the window and heard Aunt Song crying in the room. "Mother, I really want a divorce. I can't live like this anymore."

"Why can't you make ends meet? Look around, whose life isn't so hard? Others can make ends meet, why can't you?" Li's words of persuasion were the same as last year.

"No matter how hard and poor other people's lives are, at least they won't be beaten. But I don't have a single piece of good flesh on my body." Song Ergu's voice was filled with despair.

"It takes many years for a daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law. This is how it all works. When Hao Wa gets married, your life will be better."

Song Ying frowned as she listened. Li kept repeating the same words over and over again. It was useless to talk to her.

She was just thinking about how to help Aunt Song when Li Hao suddenly said, "Sister, what are you doing standing there? Come over here and bask in the sun with us."

The noise in the house suddenly died down. Not long after, the bedroom door opened. Li glared at her fiercely and came out with a bamboo basket. "Give it to your second aunt. I'll cook some brown sugar eggs for her later."

Following her, Aunt Song Da and Aunt Song Er also came out.

Aunt Song wiped her eyes and forced a smile, "Daya, why are you still standing there? Hurry and send it over to your aunt."

Song Ying looked at her and turned away. When she reached the kitchen door, she looked back and saw that the three of them had gone to the main room.

After handing the bamboo basket filled with brown sugar and eggs to Yang, Song Ying thought for a moment and went to the main hall. "Second aunt, you haven't been home for a long time. Why don't I accompany you to walk around the village? Tian Fang's family has built a big swing. Why don't we go swing on it?"

Hearing this, Aunt Song couldn't help but feel jealous, "You only accompany your second aunt to go shopping, but not your eldest aunt?"

"Didn't I want to invite you after inviting Second Aunt? Aunt, do you want to go with us?" Song Ying was a little embarrassed. She and Aunt Song only met a few times during the Chinese New Year. Aunt Song had never treated her very closely since she was a child, so naturally, she didn't have a close relationship with Aunt Song either.

Aunt Song waved her hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. We have to go back soon. I have to spend more time with your grandma."

Song Ying did not invite her again. Her suggestion to go swinging was just an excuse. She just wanted to talk to Song Ergu alone.

Aunt Song shook her head and refused: "I am already a mother of two children, how can I go around and play? You kids go play."

"Why can't adults play? It's New Year and there's nothing to do. Second aunt, come with me for a walk. Grandma Qian said you were really good at swinging, you swung higher than many boys. I could never swing as high as them. Can you teach me?"

Song Ying's words evoked memories of Song Ergu. Thinking of the joy of swinging on the swings with friends during the New Year before she got married, Song Ergu's depressed mood improved a little.

She looked at the familiar paddy fields and mountains outside, and finally nodded, "Okay, Second Aunt will teach you."

When Song Tian and Song Yuan from the yard heard about it, they wanted to go too, and also invited their three cousins to go along.

Song Ying walked slowly arm in arm with Song Ergu. Song Tian and the others couldn't wait, so they ran away after saying something.

Song Ying then asked, "Second Aunt, didn't you say that grandma wouldn't agree to your divorce? Why did you mention it to her?"

"You, please don't eavesdrop like this anymore. It will be bad for your reputation if it gets out." Second Aunt Song advised helplessly.

"I know. Even if I eavesdrop, I won't let outsiders know." After comforting him, Song Ying asked again.

Aunt Song sighed, "I know she won't agree, and I don't expect her to agree. I just want to stay at my mother's house for a few more days."

Song Ying felt extremely sad when she heard this. Even after being beaten like that by her husband, she could only beg in such a humble manner.
