Chapter 16: Taking advantage of cows and buying sheep
Mother-in-law Wen raised her palm, but Song Tingran stopped her and said, "The water thrown by the married husband cannot be used to hit me."
Wen Ci admitted that at this moment, he was moved. It had been a long time since anyone had defended him like this.
Mother-in-law Wen smiled, glared at Wen Ci, turned her anger towards Wen Li, and said viciously: "You bastard, tell me quickly, don't delay your good time."
"Wen Li, don't be afraid. I'm here. There are many families who come in first and then register on the policy. In the worst case, we will go to the town to complain. This Changxing Village is shameless, so we have nothing to fear."
The village chief was frightened by Song Tingran. Even a disfigured young man would make such a big fuss because of him.
"I entered the Song family a year ago. Everyone in Daniu Village can testify."
Mother-in-law Wen picked up the broom next to her and hit Wen Li on the back. She also cursed in her mouth, which was very unpleasant.
Song Tingran didn't stop her the first time, but she stopped her the second time, threw the broom far away, and said to her: "I said, anyone who enters the Song family's door is mine, why do you do it. "
"Even if they are your people, as their biological mother, I can give them a few beatings."
"Didn't you just say that you don't have two sons, Wen Ci and Wen Li?"
Mother-in-law Wen was stunned. It didn't matter whether she had these two sons now. She knew that Song Tingran was fond of gambling. She probably burned incense at the ancestral grave this time, so she had some money to buy things. If she loses money again in the future , Wen Ci and Wen Li came back to eat, but the gain outweighed the loss.
"Yes, the village chief is here today, and everyone is here too. They can help me bear witness. From now on, in our Wen family, we will not have Wen Ci or Wen Li, two people who eat the inside and outside."
Wen Li has always felt that life would be worse than death in the Wen family since he was a child. Although he was heartbroken, it was a relief at least. He endured the pain on his back, stood up, walked to Song Tingran, and called out aggrievedly: "My wife. "
Song Tingran smiled at him. Because Wen Ci had a pretty face, his treatment at home was a little better than Wen Li's, but he also often suffered from hunger and cold. He couldn't bear it, and Mother-in-law Wen would see it. .
Wen's mother-in-law suddenly took Wen Ci's hand and said, "Mom, I know that your child is an obedient and sensible child. If not, I will make peace with Song Tingran today. You married here and it is close to home. I will keep you." The popular ones drink the spicy ones.”
Wen Ci was confused, and so were everyone else present. A neighbor who couldn't stand it said, "Master Wen's wife, you don't want to return the gift money, you can think of anything."
"Go, go, you don't have to worry about our Wen family's affairs,"
Half a hundred old people looked at Wen Ci with squinting eyes. Wen Li was not very satisfied at first, but she had to make do with it just for the sake of happiness. Now if someone changes, she is 180 times willing.
Wen Ci understood clearly that he and his brother were his mother's belongings and had no feelings at all. He said in despair: "Since I have entered the Song family, I am a member of the Song family. Only my wife can divorce me." share"
Seeing that Song Tingran had made things clear, he was about to leave with the two of them. The head of Changxing Village glared at Mother-in-law Wen and hated her for leaving. If this spreads out, the next outstanding village will not be them. .
"Please stay."
Song Tingran looked back and saw that it was the mayor of Changxing Village. Before she could speak, she already knew the purpose of her visit and said politely: "I will keep this matter a secret. I just want justice. Thank you to the village chief this time."
"Thank you, walk slowly."
In the courtyard of half a hundred elderly people, mother-in-law Wen's mother-in-law cried, as if she didn't want to return the gift money, but this matter had nothing to do with them.
First, he went back to Wen's house to get the basket, and then Song Tingran paid the remaining money to the neighbor next door and took out a half-grown cow and a calf.
Both Wen Ci and Wen Li were still immersed in the grief just now. Before they could react, the rope was placed in Wen Ci's hand.
"I leave this task to you, take care of it."
"Ah, good, good."
The three of them arrived at Lu Yan's house again. She didn't go out, just waiting for Song Tingran to come back. When she opened the door and saw everyone there, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Lu Yan, thank you."
Lu Yan looked at Song Tingran in surprise and asked, "Why are you thanking me?" ’
"Of course, thank you for calling the village chief, otherwise this matter would not have been resolved so quickly and smoothly."
Lu Yan was surprised by her intelligence, but denied the matter. Song Tingran just smiled, expressed her gratitude again, and told her the address of her home. If she had nothing to do, she could visit her. If she had anything to do, she would also Will help as much as possible.
Lu Yan smiled heartily and changed her title to Sister Song. They were two cheerful people, both warm-hearted, and it was easiest to make friends with people who were sincere to each other.
In the end, Song Tingran chose two lambs. Because he wanted to drink goat's milk, he chose a male and a female. He paid a total of four taels of silver and happened to take Lu Yan's ox cart back to Ping'an Town.
Song Tingran took out three coins and handed it to Lu Yan, but she didn't take it and said, "Since I bought the sheep, I won't charge for the carriage fare."
"No, one thing is the same thing, it must be accepted."
Song Tingran put the money directly on the bullock cart, and then led these people and animals towards the town.
grumbling..
The stomachs of the three of them were growling. There was a wonton stall not far ahead. She walked over quickly and said, "Boss, three bowls of wontons and one cold dish."
"Okay, wait a minute."
When the owner of the wonton stall saw that the three of them had sheep and cows and were wearing cotton, he thought they were distinguished guests and asked the waiter to pour a pot of tea first.
Song Tingran sat down and Wen Li timidly sat down. Wen Ci was shocked by this scene. He pulled his brother and apologized to her desperately.
"My brother is young and ignorant, so please don't be angry."
"Well, I'm not angry. This stool is for people to sit on. Do you still want the three of us to eat standing up?"
This time, Wen Li pulled Wen Ci to sit down. They each held the ropes of the cattle and sheep in their hands and did not dare to let go.
"Sir, the wontons are here. Please use them."
Song Tingran took the lead and started eating. The two people next to her were silent. She didn't raise her head and just said to herself: "I have to buy some things to go home later. If I don't hurry up, it will be too late."
Wen Li pushed the wontons to his brother's face. He picked up his portion and ate it with big mouthfuls. It was so fragrant. It was stuffed with pork. It almost tasted delicious on his tongue. In the past, in the Wen family, it was his sister who ate meat. How could it be their turn to be brothers?
Wen Ci swallowed several times, and finally her desire defeated her reason and she started eating.
At this time, Song Tingran had finished eating, and she shouted to the shop owner: "Boss, two more bowls."
Then he stood up and said to Wen Ci Wenli: "I'm going to buy something. You two will eat here. Don't run around."
