“No, it can’t be, after all, we’ve cut ties with that side.”
Song Wangyue wasn’t being alarmist, she was very clear about Song Ming’s plans as intended.
She encouraged Song Ming’s daughter-in-law to reconcile and divorce, but she had no choice but to find another way as Song Ming’s daughter-in-law was an unsupportable one.
“In Song’s village, people know that he has severed his ties with our family. If we went to the county, or even to another place, people wouldn’t know. When big brother becomes an official, he will be able to wander around under the guise of big brother. It would be fine if that was all, but if he did something that was detrimental to big brother’s reputation, he would inevitably be implicated. Even if the investigation is cleared up later, it will definitely have an impact on big brother in the short term, which will be detrimental to his career. So we have to put an end to this possibility from now on.”
Elder Song nodded approvingly, “Yue’er is right, that kind of person, Song Ming, is capable of anything, we can’t afford not to guard against it.”
“Then, then ……”
Grandma Song was scared by what they both said, she originally thought that nothing would happen once she broke off relations with that side, but Cheng was like what Yue’er said, a person like Song Ming. If Si’er had really become an official, he could really do something to use Si’er’s name to recruit people.
“He dares!”
Song Lin also heard an earful and came over with a big stride, “If he dares to do that, I won’t spare him.”
“Can father beat him to death?”
Song Lin froze for a moment, “Since, naturally, I can’t.”
“Since you can’t, then there are consequences.”
“What then?”
“I’ve already told my aunt that the family is short of firewood, so when she can go up the mountain, she can cut the firewood and sell it to us, so that Song Ming can stop for some time, and then we can think of a solution later.”
Song Wangyue already had an idea in her mind.
Song Shu also came over and opened his mouth, wanting to say that there was nothing at home now and he could go to the mountains to cut firewood. Then he thought that there must be a purpose for Yue’er to do this, so he didn’t say anything.
Four dishes and one soup were served for dinner, and the soup was rice soup.
In the past, there were always two dishes, but now that the family had money, Song Wan Yue said that she and Song Shen were growing up and needed to eat better, so it became four dishes.
One meat dish, two vegetarian dishes and one savoury dish.
Erma timidly sat next to Song Wangyue, looking at the food on the table and not daring to move her chopsticks.
Everyone saw the big bump on the back of her head and was distressed, Xu took her chopsticks and gave them to her, “Er Ya, it’s time to eat.”
Er Ya did not dare to move.
For as long as she could remember, she had never eaten at the table.
Song Wangyue took it and shoved it into her hand, “It’s okay, pinch whatever you want to eat.”
Erma looked around at the faces of the crowd, took her chopsticks and lowered her head, holding her bowl and taking small sips of rice soup.
After taking a few sips, she put it down, and when she saw that the crowd was not looking at her, she carefully stretched out her chopsticks and took a small piece of pickled vegetables.
When she was about to scold Song Ming, Er Ya had already retracted her chopsticks in fear and subconsciously leaned towards Song Wan Yue’s side.
Grandma Song hurriedly softened her voice, “Erma don’t be afraid, grandma is not angry, grandma is just ……”
She put a chopstick of fried pork with cabbage into Er Ya’s bowl, “Come on, eat, eat more, not enough grandma will go and make more for you.”
Er Ya looked at her dumbly for a long time, then looked at the bowl of vegetables, then looked up at the faces of the people and asked timidly, “Can I, can I really eat?”
Grandma Song’s tears almost came out at once.
She knew that Da Ya and Er Ya were having a hard time, but she never thought it would be this bad.
They were at least Song Ming’s children, and a tiger’s poison does not eat its children, but how could Song Ming, who was worse than a dog or a pig, have the heart to treat his own daughters like this?
He brought the whole plate of food to Er Ya, “Eat, eat as much as you want.”
……
After eating, Song Wan Yue took Er Ya to her house, and Grandma Song called out to Xu and Liu Cui Lan to come over, “You guys make a dress for Er Ya tonight.”
Er Ya was thin and small, and Song Wan Yue’s clothes were too big for her, not only were they not warm, they also stumbled.
There was ready-made fabric at home, so the two of them pulled the cloth, cut it out and started sewing by oil lamp. They finished it in an hour or so and were about to take it to Erma when they heard a knock at the door.
Liu Cui Lan gave the clothes to Xu and went over to open the door.
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law was standing outside the door, “I’ve come to pick up Er Ya.”
Both sides of her face were swollen and her hair was scattered, Liu Cui Lan was so shocked that she cried out, “How did you get hurt like this?”
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law quickly dropped her head and pinched the corner of her coat, “I’m fine. Please call Er Ya out.”
“What are you calling Erma for? Come in quickly.”
Liu Cui Lan went to pull her, her hand just touched her arm, Song Ming’s daughter-in-law couldn’t help but sizzle in pain, Liu Cui Lan was so scared that she hurriedly let go of her hand and turned back to shout at the top of her voice, “Yue’er, Yue’er ……”
The Song family all ran out of the house at the sound of the voice, and when they saw the miserable state of Song Ming’s daughter-in-law, they all drew a breath.
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law took several steps back, “I, I’m really not, I’m fine, I, I came to pick up Er, Er Ya.”
“Erma is asleep, so come in and carry her yourself, auntie.”
Song Wangyue lied calmly.
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law said in a panic, “I, I won’t go in, Ma, please carry Er, Er Ya out.”
Today, after Song Wan Yue had taken Er Ya away, Song Ming grabbed her into the house and gave her a good beating, and warned her not to get too close to this side or talk much to this side, except to cut and deliver firewood.
“I can’t carry it, Auntie, you’d better come in and carry it yourself.”
Song Ming daughter-in-law did not dare to take a step forward, “I, I, I ……”
“Yue’er, just don’t give your aunt a hard time, boss daughter-in-law, go ……”
Song Wan Yue stopped Grandma Song from finishing her sentence.
It was still up to Song Ming’s daughter-in-law to punish him, and if she didn’t take this step, there was really no one to restrain Song Ming in the future.
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law looked at Liu Cuilan prayerfully, who shook her head.
She looked at Xu again, who sighed and spoke in a gentle voice, “You have to take care of your injuries like this, otherwise you won’t even be able to get up tomorrow. Don’t worry, I will ask your elder brother to go to Song Ming later and warn him that if he dares to hit you again, the family will not accept the firewood you cut.”
After saying this, he went to her side and showed her the clothes he had just finished, “These are the clothes we just finished for Erma, we haven’t had time to try them on her yet, you’re just in time to come in and try them on her, if they don’t fit, we’ll change them.”
The pink dress was very pretty in the moonlight.
Tears instantly welled up in Song Ming’s daughter-in-law’s eyes, and her hand trembled as she tried to take it, but her hand touched the dress and then instantly retracted, “No, no need, Er, Er Ya has, has clothes.”
“Is that the dress she’s wearing that has nothing but patches?”
Song Wangyue slowly approached her, “Auntie, it is said that a mother is strong, even for the sake of Daya and Erma, you can’t remain so cowardly.”
