Chapter 14 Receive gift money again?
Wen Li almost stopped, but Wen Ci gave him a hand, but when he saw that Wen Li's clothes were really clean, he silently took his hand back for fear of getting dirty.
Song Tingran took the basket, put all the gifts he bought on the table, and said, "These are the gifts I brought. Please accept them with my mother-in-law's approval. They are considered to be worth the gift money of Wen Li."
When Mother-in-law Wen saw these polished rice, cakes, etc., her eyes almost went straight. She kept looking at Wen Li with greedy eyes. The little crybaby couldn't help but shed tears again, but he wiped them away immediately. The Wen family doesn't Let him cry because he is afraid of being beaten.
"These are almost equal to Wen Ci's expenses at home during this period, but Wen Li's..."
"Forget it. Wen Li ran away by himself. If my mother-in-law doesn't agree, just stay."
After saying that, Song Tingran stood up, Wen Li immediately knelt on the ground, and Wen Ci cast a resentful look at her.
Wen's mother-in-law panicked all of a sudden. She originally thought that Wen Li was so well-dressed that she must have been favored at home, so she wanted to take the opportunity to ask for more money. However, she was so embarrassed that she even got it returned. No one wanted it. If you keep them at home, you will have more money to eat.
"I'm just joking. Mr. Song, please don't take it seriously. I'll clean up a room for you. You can rest."
"So, thank you very much."
Mother-in-law Wen packed everything into her room. Her father-in-law did not show up during the whole process. Then she took Song Tingran to a side room and said, "I didn't tell you in advance that I was coming. It was too hasty. I'll deal with it right here." Deal with it."
"it is good."
Song Tingran didn't say much. He already knew as clearly as a mirror that Mother-in-law Wen loved money. As long as she had money, she would have a smile. She closed the door and looked at the side room, which had only one bed and one quilt.
"Wen Ci, do you usually live here?"
Wen Ci didn't say anything, but looked at Song Tingran fiercely, as if he had a blood feud.
"you hate me?"
"Wen Ci doesn't dare."
The atmosphere dropped to freezing point. Song Tingran walked to the bedside and sat down, saying: "I was wrong when I touched your face on the street. I apologize to you. If you don't want to stay in the Song family, I can I will accept you as my brother, buy you a dowry, and marry you somewhere else, and no one will know about these things."
Wen Ci didn't expect Song Tingran to say that. It was like he was a different person, his body was clean, and the stinky smell was gone. For a moment, he felt a little confused.
"Wen Li, you are the same, you can choose."
Song Tingran took out the green onion cake from the basket on his back, gave one to Wen Li, and then handed it to Wen Ci. He looked at it blankly and said, "Don't use your fake kindness. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't do it either." Marrying in such a hurry."
"Well, you're right, but I guess you don't live in such a good place on weekdays, and you don't have enough to eat. In this way, eat the cake first, and then get angry when you have the strength."
Wen Li felt sorry for his brother, wiped away his tears, boldly took another piece of green onion pancake from Song Tingran's hand, pulled him aside, and whispered something.
After a while, Wen Ci looked at her in surprise, then lowered his head and ate the cake.
Wen Ci hadn't had a full meal in a long time, and the fragrant cake made his grievances pour out.
Song Tingran was also eating cakes and thinking about finding a good family for Wen Ci. At this time, Wen Li pulled Wen Ci to the bedside.
"My wife, please take in my brother. If you stay here, he will die. Look."
Wen Li pulled up Wen Ci's sleeves. They were covered with scars of different shades, superimposed on top of each other, old and new.
Wen Ci had a stubborn face, gritting his teeth and refusing to speak. This temperament was really different from that of his younger brother.
"Well, I originally planned to stay a few more days, but looking at the current situation, you probably don't want to stay here. Tomorrow, we will go back to Daniu Village together and stay there first. When we meet a good family, you can go back to Song Dynasty. Get married at home."
Wen Ci's originally angry face calmed down. He just heard his brother talk about Song Tingran's changes. Now it seems that it may be true, but a person's change cannot happen overnight. He thought for a while and said: " I won’t live and eat for free, my embroidery is pretty good and can be used as compensation.”
"what ever."
Then Song Tingran looked at Wen Li and asked, "What about you, when the time comes, do you want to go with your brother? Anyway, it can be done by one person, and it won't be difficult for two people."
Wen Ci was a little happy. He had been with Wen Li since he was a child and had never been separated. Before Wen Li could answer, he opened his mouth for him: "Of course we want to go together."
Wen Li did not deny it, and Song Tingran also understood. Instead of being angry, she thought it was a good thing.
"Then it's settled. There are new clothes and shoes brought for you in the backpack. You go wash them and put them on."
Seeing Wen Ci's immediate refusal, she smiled helplessly and said that she would not give it in vain. After returning to the Song family, she would need him to make quilts for the house, both thin and thick. Wen Ci then took Wen Li out and went to the river. Fetching water to wash up.
When the two brothers came back, Song Tingran had already fallen asleep, but she spread a straw mat on the ground to sleep, leaving the bed to them.
"Brother, I think it's good to stay in the Song family. Now I have enough to eat and warm clothes. I'm very satisfied."
"Have you forgotten the time when she beat us? She just goes along with it when she is happy, and beats her to death when she is not happy. Also, she just said in front of my mother that if she wants extra gift money, she will let you stay. Marry again, I don’t believe this anyway.”
Wen Li hummed thoughtfully, lay on the bed with Wen Ci, covered with a quilt, and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Song Tingran woke up when she heard the crow of roosters outside. She saw no one on the bed. She got up and went out to see that only Mother-in-law Wen was at home.
"What about them?"
"I went to work in the fields. I left food in the kitchen. You can do what you want."
Song Tingran finally saw Zhou Papi's true nature. When she went to the kitchen, she saw a bowl of brown rice porridge. She didn't dislike it and drank it all.
She didn't know where the Wen family's fields were. Mother-in-law Wen seemed to be avoiding her. She disappeared in a flash, so she had to go to the next door and knock on the door first.
The person who opened the door saw that she was unfamiliar, opened the door just a little, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Hello neighbor, I am a gentle and courteous wife. I heard that there are cattle sellers here, so I came to take a look."
The neighbor seemed very kind and opened the door to let her in. There were many people in their family, and they were enjoying themselves. The head wife looked to be about the same age as her, so he took her directly to the backyard.
"These are two newly born calves. This one is half a year old and ready to work."
Song Tingran took a look and saw that the cowshed was clean. She touched the half-year-old calf and it made a mooing sound, which was very dear to her.
"How did you sell it?"
