C61 Scolding
Wu Niang's words were extravagant, causing Madame Song to be unable to make a decision, she could only say that she would wait for Song Youfu to return, but did not expect him to actually take the initiative and call Song Youfu back.
Watching Wu Niang run out of the door like a gust of wind, Madame Song's emotions were in a mess for a moment.
Just as he was hesitating, he saw Mian Niang walking out from the room with a bag in his hands.
Madame Song Li got off the ground and walked out while leaning on her walking stick.
Mian Niang stood in the center of the courtyard and laughed: "Mother, I'm heading back to Plum Blossom Village, I can't leave my home, and the sky is about to turn dark.
"Mian Niang..."
Madame Song Li called out her daughter's name. The current feeling was even worse than the time her daughter had gotten married.
How could she not know why Wu Niang had returned?
According to Wu Niang, the Elementary Scholar had already been cured of his illness, and if the mother and son of the Mei Family truly wanted to bring Mian Niang back, why would the Elementary Scholar not come personally? Even if the Elementary Scholar could not drive the carriage, it would not take too much effort.
The two of them had been married for such a long time, yet she hadn't even seen her son-in-law before.
"Wait for Your Abba to come back and let him send you back."
Mian Niang shook her head: "No need, I can drive my own car. Besides, if Abba were to send me back, how is he going to come back himself?"
"Then we can't be muddle-headed like this. Those things, whether it's right or wrong, we have to get to the bottom of it."
"Tell me, what should I say? "Ah Pa's personality is straightforward, I'm afraid that once he sees my mother-in-law, it would be hard to say."
Why would Song Youfu go and quarrel with a woman? He had lived for most of his life, yet he had never met anyone who was embarrassed by him before.
After hearing Mian Niang's words, she too became silent. After a moment, she raised her head and said: "Then let's go. We're all women, so it's better to say whatever you have to say."
Mian Niang pursed her lips and smiled, she raised her head, and her eyes seemed to be filled with tears: "Since Abba and Mama is so concerned about my daughter, then my daughter will be satisfied, but actually, this isn't anything much, I just need to say it, and I can go back myself, and this matter will not be cleared up in a few sentences, in the end, it will cause everyone in the streets to know, and it will not be beautiful.
His mother's health was not good, how could she bear dragging her own mother's illness to seek justice for him? Moreover, if things got out of hand, it would make it harder for his family and Wu Niang to get along.
"Mian Niang, if you go back like this, won't you be at the mercy of others in the future?"
Tears were already flowing out of Madame Song's eyes. She looked at her daughter with grief and heartache. When Mei Family came to propose marriage to her, the first thing she thought of was that her son would be able to marry her. She then thought that if she did that, her daughter would have to marry a patient, but in the end, she had to give in to reality, the matter of her son marrying a child was more important than her daughter marrying. At that time, she also thought that it was a good thing that her daughter would be able to marry a knowledgeable person like Xiu Cai.
If one day, an Elementary Scholar could become the top scorer, his daughter would be in great trouble.
He just did not expect that Wu Niang would not be an easy opponent, and that tofu hyacinth was even more powerful.
She didn't want her daughter to go back, but she knew that if Mian Niang didn't go back, this matter would never end.
As an old man, he had to consider more. Only a young fool like his son would want to compete with him.
Mian Niang's ankles had not recovered yet, and she was walking on tiptoes a little.
Madame Song Li followed the donkey cart all the way to the gate, and watched her daughter drive the donkey cart away from the Tian Jia Wan.
Mian Niang bade farewell to her mother, and just as she walked out for a short distance, she met Song Youfu and Wu Niang.
Song Youfu held his hands behind his back, hunched over, with a white handkerchief wrapped around his neck, he lowered his head and took a quick step forward.
Wu Niang carried her hoe and followed behind him, falling further and further away.
The father and daughter clashed.
As expected, when Song Youfu asked to send him back, he was once again rejected by Mian Niang.
The words were exactly the same as what he said to his mother earlier.
Song Youfu took out the Eye Sack on his waist. He did not put away the cigarettes like he usually did, but held it in his hand and continued to fiddle with it.
After working in the fields for many years, the heavy burden of life was like a burden. This man who used to be strong was now ten years older than his actual age, and the wrinkles on the corner of his eyes were enough to pinch a mosquito to death.
If anything happens, do not be afraid. Just come back home and Abba and Mama will support you. "
His words were forceful, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. A girl who had married off her daughter would become someone else's person. Even as a parent, her waist wasn't that easy to support.
However, there was still hope in his heart. He hoped that tofu hyacinth was really just a harsh person who would treat his own daughter well.
Song Youfu's voice could not be considered as soft. Wu Niang, who was walking closer and closer, clearly heard the father and daughter pair's conversation. She rolled her eyes behind Song Youfu, but didn't interrupt them.
Song Youfu was far inferior to Song Li who was easy to bully. However, he was a quiet person, causing Wu Niang to not be able to understand his temperament and to be wary of him.
Mian Niang bid her farewell to her father, and once again chased up the donkey cart. There was not a single word between her and Wu Niang, and the two of them suddenly became estranged.
When the donkey cart arrived at the foot of the mountain, Mian Niang looked around but could not find Song Zhixiao.
After she went back, she would make tofu, and then she would be able to come back at any time. Her mind raced, and she suddenly felt that this was the best idea, and it wouldn't be too late to come back to see Brother tomorrow.
Thinking about it this way, Mian Niang put down the heavy burden in her heart and rushed the donkey cart over the mountain.
When they arrived at Plum Blossom Village, the sun had already set. Before they even entered the courtyard, they heard the tofu hyacinth cursing loudly.
Mian Niang listened carefully, and Wu Niang's name appeared more than her name, it was obvious that the tofu hyacinth knew her daughter had ran away due to the heavy burden, and she was extremely furious.
Then, she said that she had raised Wu Niang for free and that she was too lazy to do any work. Her mother had only been paralyzed on the bed for a few days, yet did not even look like a servant and secretly ran away. After a while, he scolded Song Zhixiao as a stubborn person, but he did not know how to care about his old mother-in-law at all. When he got tired from scolding her, he rested his breath, continued with his scolding, returned his scolding to his dead husband, and finally returned back to Wu Niang.
The windows and doors of the Elementary Scholar's house were closed, so it was hard to tell what people were doing inside.
Mian Niang did not immediately enter the courtyard. Instead, she leisurely sat on the carriage until the curses from tofu hyacinth died down before she led the donkey cart in.
The yard was a mess, there were only two bundles of dead grass left in the grass hut, the donkey shed was filled with the stench of dead grass, and the bean curd skin drying in bean curd was already covered in a layer of white fur.
There were a few handfuls of grass in the chicken coop. The chicken ate all the leaves, leaving only the grass stalks.
Because it was not cleaned up in time, it was even more difficult to get down from the collapsed donkey shed.
Mian Niang looked at everything in shock.
Although the tofu hyacinth had a bad temper, he had always loved cleanliness, so how could he allow his family to cause such a ruckus.
After interacting with them for awhile, Mian Niang finally understood why tofu hyacinth scolded Wu Niang in such a way.
She was not interested in the grudges between mother and daughter, so she untied the donkey cart and tied the donkey to the shaft of the carriage. When the tofu hyacinth heard the donkey call, he immediately stretched his neck and looked out the window, and when he saw Mian Niang, he immediately scolded him upon seeing him. However, he did not expect that Mian Niang was coldly staring at her with a pair of pitch black eyes.
Seeing this, she felt a chill in her heart. She silently swallowed the curse that was about to come out of her mouth, and only said: "You're back?"
His tone was not very good. In the end, it was still better than cursing loudly.
"I'm back."
Mian Niang replied to her through the window, then carried her backpack and entered the room next door.
As he opened the door and entered, the Elementary Scholar was sitting in front of his desk and reading a book. god knows how many books he read, but when his mother scolded him, he did not pay attention to her or even pay attention to her. When he heard the door opening, he did not even seem to look at her.
"You're back?"
This was the first time he took the initiative to talk to his wife when they were married. His tone was even more relaxed and happy than he had ever thought. Finally, he no longer had to face his sister's complaints.
The Elementary Scholar was relieved.
"Yes."
If he did not hit the smiling person, the latter would speak to him properly, and Mian Niang would not remain silent.
Ignoring the few words, it was a rare moment of peace between the husband and wife.
Mian Niang put down her backpack, and looked around.
There weren't many things in the room. He had taken care of the Elementary Scholars' books himself, and they had been cleaned quite a bit.
However, the medicinal taste seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
Mian Niang walked to the window and opened it, but was stopped by the Elementary Scholar.
"Go busy yourself with other things first, I'll open the window later."
suspiciously looked at him, but he did not force him. With a "Oh", he walked out of the house.
Just as Mian Niang walked out of the house, she heard the door close behind him, and although the sound was soft, it was not completely still. Turning his head to look at the door that was quickly closed, Mian Niang shook his head suspiciously, suspecting that the person had taken the medicine to be an idiot.
The Elementary Scholar leaned on the door and listened to Mian Niang's footsteps as she walked further and further away. Her heart was thumping as she held the cotton candy, ready to cover her ears at any time to prevent noise from coming from the next room.
Watching Wu Niang run out of the door like a gust of wind, Madame Song's emotions were in a mess for a moment.
Just as he was hesitating, he saw Mian Niang walking out from the room with a bag in his hands.
Madame Song Li got off the ground and walked out while leaning on her walking stick.
