Chapter 148: Shame
Song Yuntang shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant. If it weren't for my second brother, who would have arranged these people for me? If no one was watching over me, how could things on the farm have progressed so smoothly?"
She took out another five taels of silver from her purse and put it in Song Jinsheng's hand.
"Second brother, your wages will be calculated at the same eighty wen a day as before. It cannot be less, otherwise I won't let you come to help me. When Mu Dong comes here to get shampoo, I'll ask him to bring a ledger for you. Then you can record the income and expenditure of the farm. Don't let yourself be careless and erase your wages and I won't notice."
Song Jinsheng reluctantly took the five taels of silver handed to him by Song Yuntang and put it away.
"Well, it seems you are unwilling to save this money."
Song Yuntang smiled and said, "You can't save this money. Second brother still needs to save money to marry a wife. If you really rely on your parents to save money for you, when will you be able to marry your second sister-in-law?"
Hearing this, Song Jinsheng's face was full of helplessness. He reached out and rubbed Song Yuntang's head.
"Why do you think about finding me a wife all the time?"
The family's money was managed by his mother. Every time he went back home and earned some money, the first thing he would do was give it to his mother. He was used to living without any money.
As for getting married, I'm afraid my parents will have to worry about it.
Song Yuntang raised his eyebrows, "Then I can't just watch my second brother be single."
"Second brother is still young, there's no need to rush this matter." He glanced in Xu Qingye's direction, leaned close to Song Yuntang and asked in a low voice, "Why did Xu Qingye come with you today?"
Song Yuntang briefly recounted what happened the night before.
After hearing this, Song Jinsheng punched the big tree next to him in anger.
"How could Lin Zhaozhao be so vicious!"
The people working in the woodshed heard the noise and looked in the direction of the two men.
"Jinsheng, what happened?"
Song Yuntang turned around and looked at everyone.
"It's okay, everyone, go about your own business." He turned back to look at Song Jinsheng and lowered his voice, "I haven't exaggerated anything about this matter. In fact, this is the real Lin Zhaozhao. I told this to my second brother just to remind you that Lin Zhaozhao is not a good person. If you don't watch out, be careful that you will fall into her hands one day."
Especially Zhao, who is easily influenced by others.
She doesn't want to have to clean up the mess when something goes wrong. It would be better to nip the trouble in the bud at the beginning.
Song Jinsheng nodded.
"Second brother believes you. I have wronged Tang'er in the past few years. When I return, I will tell my family about this matter and ask my parents and eldest brother to stay away from her in the future."
We have no blood relationship and she is so vicious. From now on, I will just pretend that I don’t have that sister.
He used to think she was well-behaved and sensible.
Now it seems that although Tang'er's temperament is a little cold, he is a truly kind-hearted person.
"Actually, when the Xu family set the date last time, Mother had already heard the rumors about Lin Zhaozhao in town. When she sent her away from your place, she told me not to have any contact with Lin Zhaozhao."
Song Yuntang hummed, "That would be the best."
Song Jinsheng looked at her and said, "What Lin Zhaozhao and Huang Heyu did is unforgivable. Tang'er, please don't let them go. If you don't teach them a lesson, they might even think of harming others."
"I know it's useless for the Lin family to beg me." She smiled, "It's getting late. I have to go back to town."
"I'll see you off." Song Jinsheng came up to Xu Qingye, put his hand on his shoulder and walked out of the manor. "Brother-in-law, take good care of Tang'er. I'll entrust her to you from now on."
I have to say that Xu Qingye is quite capable at critical moments.
If it were him, he would probably be so angry that he would not even think of going to the county town to collect evidence.
Xu Qingye remained calm.
"it is good."
Song Jinsheng turned and looked back at Song Yuntang.
"Sister, when are you going to move up to the farm? I think you should move in sooner rather than later, or I won't be able to rest assured."
"We'll move after Yue Xi." Song Yuntang replied.
Song Jinsheng slowed down his pace and asked, "Aren't you going back to Rongshu Village on the Moon Festival?"
Song Yuntang shook his head and pulled Xu Qingye out as a shield.
"I'm living with your brother-in-law."
Song Jinsheng was stunned for a moment, and finally said helplessly, "Okay, as long as you are happy."
Song Yuntang smiled, as if thinking of something, and pulled out a blueprint from his sleeve. "Second brother, ask the people at the farm to make two hundred of these cups for me when they're free these two days. The workmanship doesn't need to be too delicate, just no burrs. After you're done, remember to have someone clean them and dry them in the sun. I need them for the Moon Festival."
Song Jinsheng just took a look and put the drawing in his arms.
"Okay, I'll take care of this."
There are many people in the village these days, and a lot of bamboo cans are made every day. In addition, Mu Dong has recycled some bamboo cans recently, and there are no orders from the county for the time being, so the inventory of bamboo cans is sufficient for the time being.
Two hundred bamboo cups, without handles, can be made in one day.
Song Jinsheng thought about it and realized that there was a great demand for bamboo in the village, so he might have to plant a large bamboo forest himself, which would also reduce costs to a certain extent.
……
When Song Yuntang and Xu Qingye first arrived in the town, they ran into Song Jinbao and Song Jinyuan for the first time. They came to the town every day but had never met them before.
Ever since Xu Qingye's health improved, he is no longer as weak as before. He has a good appearance, and when he walks next to Song Yuntang, the couple looks so good together that people think they are a perfect match.
Looking at the man and woman walking towards him, Song Jinbao raised his hand to his nose and coughed twice in embarrassment.
"Tang'er, Mr. Xu, where did you go just now? I just took your cousin to your place, and I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it."
Song Yuntang curled his lips and sneered, "So Dad knows where I live."
After hearing this, Song Jinbao looked embarrassed.
"Dad, this is because he sees that you are angry, and he is afraid that you will see that I am unhappy."
Next to them, Song Zhimei, who was dressed so gorgeously, made her presence hard to ignore.
When she saw the handsome man next to Song Yuntang, a hint of jealousy arose in her heart.
Why could Song Yuntang marry such a handsome and talented man who was willing to give her a dowry of ten taels of silver, while she could only get five taels of silver to be a concubine to Huang Heyu?
The key point is that it was my mother who fought for the five taels of silver, and she didn't get a single penny.
My mother kept saying that after she went to the Huang family, she would have good food and clothes to eat and she wouldn't have to worry about having no money to spend. If she had known that being a concubine had so many rules, and that if she was not favored, her life would be worse than that of the servants in the Huang family, she would never have been willing to be a concubine no matter what.
But now she has entered the Huang Mansion, it is too late to say anything.
Fortunately, although the concubine in the Huang family also has to do housework, her food and clothing are better than those in her parents' home.
But no matter how much she complained in her heart now, she didn't want others to laugh at her. Some face was given by herself.
Song Zhimei looked at Song Yuntang with her chin raised, like a proud peacock. "Song Yuntang, you're still having secret meetings with men all day long before you get married. Do you have any sense of shame?"
