C53 Debate

Picking up the bones, Zhang Xuan scraped off the burnt areas, cleaned the wok, refilled it with water, and put the bones in again.

Wu Niang picked up a piece of meat and placed it in her mouth. It tasted light, not very nice, it must have been because she hadn't had the time to put the seasoning in the original soup, but fortunately, the pork was not bad, so even if she didn't put the seasoning, it was still better than eating those vegetables with tofu.

Such a piece of meat could be eaten to the point of being fragrant. After eating all of the meat, Wu Niang couldn't help but take down another piece.

He held the bone in his hand and reached out his hand to eat another piece. Just as he was about to start eating again, he heard footsteps approaching and immediately threw the rod bone into the pot.

Just as he closed the lid, he saw Elementary Scholar Shi enter the kitchen.

"Brother!"

The Elementary Scholar could tell what she had done just by looking at the shredded meat hanging from her teeth. However, he did not blame her for it, and only said, "I'll get some water to wash my hands."

Mian Niang left, without saying a word, she packed her bag and followed his brother out. The words of her mother kept on echoing in his mind, making him feel as if her heart was numbed.

He felt more and more that Mian Niang left because she felt guilty.

In his opinion, the accusations of his second uncle and second aunt had become a deliberate attempt to cover up for him.

The two rooms were separated by a wall, and the windows on both sides were not closed. He could hear what his sister and his mother were saying next door.

The ink had spilled all over his clothes and hands, making him feel even more irritated.

Wu Niang saw the ink on his body and immediately understood what was going on. Without her brother doing anything, he immediately got some water and placed it on the wooden washstand for Ah Ge to wash his hands.

The ink had to be ruthlessly rubbed with a soaphorn before it could be washed away. The Elementary Scholar washed his hands as he said, "Tell me, how was your life at your wife's house?"

Song Zhixiao brought Mian Niang out of the Plum Blossom Village, and on the way, he broke a tree branch for Mian Niang. The leaves were picked clean, the branches were repaired, and Mian Niang made a simple walking stick with it.

Looking at his younger sister limping by his side, he couldn't help but worry, "If this goes on, will it become more and more serious?"

Initially, Mian Niang did not care, but when she woke up in the morning, it had clearly become much lighter, but she did not expect that it would actually become more and more severe.

But she just shook her head and said, "Brother A, it's okay. I'm no longer in so much pain."

A'ge stuck his head out for her, so she couldn't make him worry.

Song Zhixiao supported her as they walked along the road, and when he saw that his forehead was covered with more and more sweat, he could not help but worry. He hurriedly squatted down and said: "Come up, brother will carry you."

Mian Niang shook her head. Not to mention defending against both men and women, even if it was possible, how far was the Tian Jia Wan from here? She had to climb a mountain first, the road was muddy from the rain, she had to pay attention to her feet if she walked alone, let alone carrying a person.

"Brother, it's not like there's anyone else, you're my sister, what are you afraid of?"

A man who looked stubborn but could not change was not that stubborn. The teachers in the academy had told him stories about expediency strategies in the past, and he remembered them very well.

Mian Niang once again shook her head and refused. The brother and sister duo could not hold on any longer and saw a carriage coming from behind them.

A green-gray mule was tied to the bridle, a small carriage was running very fast, and the driver was an old man.

The siblings quickly moved to the side to give way to each other's carriages.

The carriage stopped in front of the two of them.

"Mei Family of Erlang, Mei Family?"

The man looked familiar, but Mian Niang could not remember who he was, and could only nod his head blankly: "You are?"

"You can just call me Master Liu, I am also from Plum Blossom Village. Two days ago, the Earth Ridge Your mother-in-law was greeting me, did you forget?" This, is your brother? I have seen it before. On the day of your wedding, he came to pick Wu Niang up and leave. "

Mian Niang was a little embarrassed as she timidly smiled and said, "Yes."

"Is he going back to his parents' home?"

"Yes."

"Tian Jia Wan, it's so far, hurry up and get on the carriage. I'll take you guys on a trip, it just so happens that I'm going to the building a shop."

He happened to pass by the Tian Jia Wan on his way to the home building shop.

Hearing Grandpa Liu's words, the two siblings did not care about being polite anymore and quickly got into the car.

The two siblings heaved a sigh of relief as they got on the carriage. Master Liu talked a little bit more than the others, and along the way, he talked to two people who didn't know how to talk. They thought they had met a soulmate, someone who was willing to listen to what they said.

Roughly an hour later, the carriage arrived at Tian Jia Wan and stopped in front of Song Family's gate. The brother and sister then invited someone in for lunch before leaving, but was rejected.

Master Liu was straightforward. Seeing that the two siblings didn't seem to be able to get over it, he changed the subject. "If there's a chance, I'll come back to eat your family's meal again if there's a chance."

With that, he drove away.

In the kitchen, Mrs Song Li was sitting on a stool, pointing out to her husband how to make the pork. The way was the same as Mian Niang's, the meat was already in the pot.

Song Youfu never did anything about it. In the morning, after Song Zhixiao and Wu Niang left, the two of them were left with three pieces of meat and became anxious, they did not know what to do. Song Li's actions were inconvenient, and since Song Youfu had never gone to the kitchen before, he was too embarrassed to beg others.

There were a few pieces left. One of them was for the family to use as a tooth sacrifice, and the other was for the neighbors who were on good terms with each other.

Just as Song Youfu was about to wash his hands, he saw his son, who had just left this morning, return. Not only did he return, he even brought his daughter back.

Hearing the sound at the entrance of the courtyard, Song Youfu immediately took a cloth and wiped off the oil in his hands, and then brought Madame Song and the rest along with the chair to the wok, and then stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, watching the siblings enter the courtyard.

Mian Niang greeted his father and asked her where her mother was first.

"In the kitchen." Song Youfu sat as if nothing had happened, but his gaze landed on Mian Niang's ankle. Seeing his daughter limp closer and closer, his expression was still unable to calm down.

The father and son duo did not speak, and waited for Mian Niang to enter the kitchen before the two entered the main house.

Seeing her daughter come in, the doubt in Madame Song's eyes was replaced by heartache. She hurriedly asked her daughter: "Is it very painful? Why was he so careless and injured? You, too, are a woman. You're always restless when doing things. I don't know how many times I've told you to be careful, but you just don't have a good memory. "

In fact, Mian Niang did things very steadily and was not the least bit impatient. She was only a mother and did not feel at ease at all. In their eyes, no matter how old the child was, everything she did made them worried.

When she first opened her mouth, she immediately asked how her injuries were. Mian Niang's heart warmed as he smiled and greeted the Abba and Mama, telling her not to worry. She was already fine, he threw down the tree branch in his hand and went to light a fire.

In the room right next door, Song Zhixiao told everything that had happened from the start to his father, even including the matter of Gu Xin giving him gifts, as well as the words that tofu hyacinth berated Mian Niang.

Song Youfu sat on the edge of the bed, took out a pipe from his waist and filled it with a pot of cigarettes. After lighting it up, he flicked it four or five times before saying, "You're silly."

Song Zhixiao lowered his head and did not try to explain.

"No matter what you say, you are still elders. Regardless of whether you are right or wrong, you must endure it and not talk back. You even brought your sister back. It's only been a few days since the wedding, how funny is it?"

"You can laugh at anyone who likes to laugh. You can't just let them insult Mian Niang like that, that's my blood sister."

When I went today, Mian Niang was working in the kitchen, limp. If not for Second Aunt revealing everything, I still wouldn't know that she wasn't even willing to give Mian Niang a pill or spend that money, the two of them would have been better off lying in bed and enjoying life as if she was a landlord. "

Song Youfu puffed two more mouthfuls of smoke, watching the smoke drift away in front of him as he taught his son sincerely, "Many years of being a wife and becoming a wife, whose female mother didn't come from this, let alone the distant female mother, when I was young, served your grandmother this way too, didn't I?"

"Grandma, Grandma is already the most benevolent person. I have always said that Grandma would never make things difficult for her like the other aunties in the family. Furthermore, Wu Niang is at home, so she has never served my mother like this."

The tobacco was a little damp, causing Song Youfu to cough twice. After a while, he slowly recovered, and raised his head to meet his son's worried eyes. He helplessly sighed, and said: "Your daughter-in-law is still young, and was spoiled at home.

"She's still young, and Mian Niang is around her age. Why don't they think of giving Mian Niang some time to get used to it? Besides, Ah Pa, why are we still standing there if we don't let Mian Niang say anything at all when such a big pot of dirty water has fallen on our heads? You don't know, on the third day back, he already had such a huge opinion of our Mian Niang. "

Song Zhixiao saw that his father's expression was a little relaxed and said promptly: "From Plum Blossom Village to Town, dozens of kilometers, they allowed Mian Niang to walk while leaning on two legs, and when she walked back, I didn't even bring him an extra coin. I didn't even know how My sister was born with a pair of small feet, and how she was thirsty and hungry at that time, how she walked back."

"There's such a thing?" Song Youfu's expression became solemn.

"But …"

"Mian Niang!"

Before Song Zhixiao could finish, he was interrupted by Madame Song who was next door. The father and son exchanged a look, and without caring about anything else, they immediately ran out the door to the kitchen.
