Xu acquiesced to Song Lin’s words and said nothing else.
Everyone in the village knew about Song Lin’s injury, and since Song Lin was not awake, he did not want to come and cause trouble for the Song family, so no one came to visit.
When smoke came out of the Song family’s kitchen, some people came to investigate and heard that Song Lin had woken up, so they went back to tell the others in the village and figured that the Song family had finished their dinner before they came to the door with their things.
Most of the so-called things were eggs, some with one, some with two, but only a few hunters who had gone up the mountain with Song Lin took more, five or six, and one of them even brought a chicken.
The Song family is usually good to the people in the village, whoever has difficulties, as long as they open their mouths, the Song family will help, it is a lot of people who came here, standing in the courtyard half.
The rest of the people followed suit, and the old couple could not stop them from collecting half a basket of eggs.
……
After seven or eight days had pa*sed, Song Lin’s injuries had improved and he was basically able to get off the ground.
After lying in bed for so many days, his body was getting hairy and he begged Xu to allow him to walk in the courtyard.
Knowing that he was suffocating, Xu didn’t stop him and helped him out of the house.
Xu raised her eyes and saw that it was the Gu family’s housekeeper, and for some reason, her heart thudded.
The housekeeper saw her too, and after a glance at Song Lin’s leg, he guessed who they were.
The butler took three or two steps over, “The two of you are Miss Song’s parents, right? I’m the Gu family’s butler, I came here a few days ago.”
Xu naturally knew he had been here, although she hadn’t come out that day, she had seen the housekeeper in the house.
Song Lin, however, was not sure, and frowned in confusion, “The Gu family?”
“Yes, Miss Song that day ……”
“Housekeeper Gu ……”, Xu hurriedly interrupted him, “What is the matter you came for today?”
“My master and madam have long wanted to come in person to thank Miss Song for saving my young master, but only when they heard that Mr. Song was injured did they not bother to come over, today I guess Mr. Song is almost well enough, so they specially asked me to come and say that our master and madam will come over later.”
“No need, it’s just a gesture of gratitude, you have already sent your thanks, no need to make this trip again.”
Xu’s tone was a little urgent.
The housekeeper bent down, “Madam, there is still no need to be polite, our master and madam are already on their way here.”
Song Lin heard that Xu’s tone was not right and looked at her with a quizzical inclination, only to see beads of sweat breaking out on her forehead.
Song Lin subconsciously lifted his sleeve to wipe her, but only halfway up did he remember that the housekeeper was there and put it back.
The housekeeper’s irresistible attitude made Xu feel worse and worse, and she changed her words, “The family is not here today, so why don’t you ask your master and madam to come back another day?”
“Our master and madam are here to see Master Song and Madam Song.”
He said one mouthful of Master Song, which Song Lin was uncomfortable hearing, “My name is Song Lin, the butler can just call me by my name.”
The steward arched his hand, “I wouldn’t dare.”
Song Lin also sensed that something was wrong. He knew the Gu family, they were a wealthy family known far and wide, and it was said that such a family would not be so polite to themselves even if Shen’er and Yue’er had saved their young master, not to mention that from the moment he entered, he had been saying that he wanted to thank Yue’er for saving his life, without even mentioning Shen’er a single time.
Knowing that she could not refuse, Xu said, “In that case, I will clean up first.”
The housekeeper retreated.
Xu sighed, helped Song Lin to sit down in the shade, and deliberately told him the process of Song Wangyue’s rescue.
When he heard that his daughter had kissed the young master of the Gu family, Song Lin was dumbfounded and his mouth was open for a long time.
“She said she read the method from a book, after all, it was to save someone’s life, and I didn’t blame ……”
Miso!
Song Lin stood up and limped towards the front door. Xu scrambled up after him and took a step closer to follow him, “Dangjia’s ……”
“Quickly go and close the door, we can’t let them in.”
The Gu family must have come to settle scores after the fall, rich families always did this, courtesy first.
Xu didn’t know what he had in mind, seeing him in a hurry, she tugged him, “Don’t move, I’ll go and close it.”
“Go on!”
Xu quickly ran over and quickly closed the door, Song Lin still felt uneasy and not only let her insert the latch, but also took a wooden stick to hold it up.
A magnificent carriage slowly drove into the Song family village, followed on either side by six clean-cut maids, followed by twelve uniformly dressed servants, all holding something in their hands, all of them also with clear eyebrows and looking very spirited.
Master Gu, Madam Gu and Gu Yi sat inside the carriage.
Mrs Gu lovingly wiped the sweat off his face, “Don’t be nervous, have you remembered what Mother taught you?”
Gu Yi nodded repeatedly, “Yes, I remember.”
“When you get to the Song family, look at Mother’s eyes, and say what she tells you to say.”
Gu Yi nodded his head like a garlic pound.
The children playing at the head of the village first saw the magnificent carriage and swarmed over, following closely behind it. Those in the village who did not go down to the ground heard the commotion and came out to see, and were also surprised by the magnificent carriage and unknowingly followed it.
By the time they reached the entrance of the Song family, there were already quite a few people following the carriage.
Facing the closed door of the Song family, the butler quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door, “Master Song, Madam Song, our master and madam are here!”
No one answered within the courtyard.
The housekeeper wondered and tried to push the gate, which swayed a little but did not open, it should have been closed from the inside.
The butler’s eyes flashed and he went back to the carriage to report, “Master and Madam, no one opened the door.”
It was no one opened the door, not no one at home, Master Gu heard the implication beyond his words and got off the carriage, smilingly arching his hand towards the crowd, “I am the Gu wealthy owner of the Gu family village, today I came to the Song family to thank Miss Song for saving my son’s life, unfortunately there is no one at their home, I wonder if you all can help find someone from his family.”
Someone in the crowd immediately echoed, “The Song family’s boss has injured his leg and hasn’t been out these days, now he doesn’t look like he’s gone out, he should still be at home, just tap on the door a few more times.”
The rich man really listened to him and instructed the housekeeper to knock on the door again, but no matter how loudly the housekeeper rapped on the door, there was no movement inside.
“Strange ……”
Some people came out from the crowd, “I haven’t seen the Song family boss go out today either, he should be at home ah, can’t something have happened?”
Speaking of which, he himself was startled, “No, I have to see.”
As he said this, he walked to a large tree by the root of the wall, spat two mouthfuls of spittle on his palms, climbed up three or two times, and hugged the trunk tightly to look towards the yard.
