Fate of the Stupid Son Chapter 306

“Bang!”

The depression in Qi Ying’s heart found an outlet and he kicked the chair next to him over, “That stupid b*****d, he’s worthy of it?!”

Qin Qian was busy comforting, “Don’t be angry, cousin, I’m just guessing.”

Mrs. Qi bent down to pick up the chair and set it up, then patted Qi Ying’s shoulder, “You have a temper, I don’t know when it will change, didn’t I tell you not to be impulsive when things happen, you must be calm.”

“That’s a stupid, stupid thing, why should he like me?”

If Song San Xiao was not Song Wan Yue’s uncle, she would be looking for someone to settle the score right now.

“Didn’t you hear what Qian’er said, it’s just his guess.”

“Yes, cousin, Song San Xiao didn’t say anything about liking you, it was my guess, maybe it was wrong.”

Mrs. Qi patted Qi Ying’s shoulder again and gestured for her to be quiet, “Qian’er, tell your aunt what you heard originally.”

Qin Qian spoke of the conversation he had heard.

After listening, Madam Qi pondered for a moment, “Qian’er’s guess is correct, Song Sanxiao does have his heart set on Ying’er, otherwise he wouldn’t have asked this for no reason, but this is good, we can find out some things from him.”

“Mother ……”

Madam Qi looked at Qi Ying, her expression was still gentle, but her tone was stern, “You are not young anymore, take the bigger picture into account in everything. In these two days, you go to Song San Xiao and ask her to bring word to the little girl to come and play at our dart board.”

“I won’t go, whoever likes to go!”

Qi Ying gambled as he got up and walked out.

Mrs. Qi shook her head helplessly and said to Qin Qian, “Your cousin has been spoiled by your aunt and I. In the future, ah, you help your aunt watch her more, so that she doesn’t cause extra trouble.”

“It won’t happen, cousin is just unable to accept it for a while, she will be fine once she has figured it out. By the way, first and second cousins should be back by now, right? They’ve been gone for over three months on this dart trip.”

“Soon, they should be home in the next few days. By then, you three brothers will have a good get-together.”

“I’ll do as my aunt says. I’ve been out for a long time, so it’s time for me to go back.”

“You wait a little.”

Madam Qi took two fifty taels of silver cheques and gave them to him, Qin Qian didn’t push back and accepted them before leaving the dart board and walking all the way back to the academy as fast as he could.

After entering the academy, he slightly wiped the sweat that had emerged from his forehead and went back to his bedchamber.

Song Si had already returned from dinner, and on the table were Qin Qian’s cutlery, containing the meal Song Si had helped him to cook.

“Many thanks to Brother Song.”

Qin Qian gasped slightly.

Song Si was reading a book and didn’t look up at his words, “Eat quickly or it will get cold later.”

……

Early the next morning, Gu Yi followed Mrs. Gu to Dongming County, and Dr. Yao also followed.

Song Wan Yue was at home every day, teaching Er Ya to write and urging Song Shen to rework the books for these days.

If he had known that he would be in charge of the family’s workshop and also responsible for keeping the books, he would have said that he would have put it on Uncle San. If he had known that he would be in charge of the family’s workshop and would have to keep the books, he would have put the blame on Third Uncle. He would have followed his parents to sell spicy skewers and saved himself a lot of trouble.

“There should be one of those special bookkeeping books, I’ll buy it when I go to the county in a couple of days, so you can write it down first and then transcribe it onto that when you get it back.”

Song Shen wailed, “Yue’er, please give second brother a break, second brother is not cut out for this, you have nothing to do anyway, help second brother, when second brother has private money, I will buy you good food.”

“Private money?”

Song Wangyue’s trailing voice picked up.

Song Shen listened with a jolt and almost jumped up, “No, no, second, second brother didn’t, second second brother is talking about later, you, you also know, now the workshop ships every day, not a single penny has been seen yet.”

“Second brother ah ……”

Song Wan Yue changed her tone.

The cold hairs on Song Shen’s body stood up when he heard it.

Song Wan Yue said word for word, “You better remember what you said today, if I know you have private money, I will tell second uncle and second aunt, and you can wait for your legs to be broken.”

Song Shen’s mind went to the scene of his legs being broken, and he suddenly had another jolt, his face turning white.

Seeing that he was stunned, Song Wangyue was satisfied and lifted her chin, signalling to write out his account book.

Song Shen also stopped wailing and obediently sat upright to transcribe the account book.

……

Two days later, at the marketplace.

Song Sanxiao, in contrast to his disheveled appearance of the previous days, hummed a little song and wiped the table over and over again, so much so that he could see people.

Song Shu and Liu Cui Lan wondered why the man who was dying a few days ago was suddenly in good spirits.

Liu Cui Lan gave Song Shu a wink, signalling him to ask, third brother is too abnormal.

Song Shu was also worried and came over, patting Song San Xiao on the shoulder, “Third brother, what’s so happy?”

Because Song Si said that Miss Qi didn’t have that intention, maybe he would have a chance later. Of course, this could not be said to Song Shu.

“Where’s the good thing? I just looked at our family’s good business these two days and was happy.”

Good business?

Song Shu asked Liu Cui Lan with his eyes, and Liu Cui Lan shook her head, the family prepared the same amount of ingredients every day and sold them for the same amount of money every day, where was it good?

Song Shu increased his strength and patted Song San Xiao on the shoulder again, “Third brother, if you really have something to do, just give second brother the message, don’t keep it to yourself.”

“No, I just think our family’s business is good these days, second brother, don’t stare at me, go and get ready, it’s time to serve the people later.”

Seeing that nothing could be asked, Song Shu stopped asking and carried a bucket of water to fetch water to wash the dishes later.

Song Sanxiao continued to wipe the table, humming a little song, and after the table was wiped and the stools were wiped, just as Song Shu returned with water, he brushed all the plates again.

One by one, people came over to eat the skewers, and Song Sanxiao greeted them enthusiastically until it was almost noon, and the stall became more and more crowded.

“Song’s little brother ……”

Someone shouted.

Song San Xiao looked up and froze as he instantly recognised him as someone from the dart board.

The man had already walked up to him and gave him the string of coins he was carrying, “One hundred wen for the spicy hotpot, please send it to the dart board later.”

Song San Xiao froze and took the coins.

Seeing him like this, the man thought he was in a difficult position and scratched his head in embarrassment, “Today Big Brother and Second Brother are back, I’m in a hurry to welcome them, so I won’t stand in line, please do me a favour.”

Song San Xiao responded, “Oh, okay.”

The man arched his hand, “Many thanks, many thanks, remember, just send it straight over when it’s ready.”

After saying that, he hurriedly left.

Song Sanxiao looked at his distant figure, and then at the copper plate in his hand, he almost jumped up with excitement, carrying it over, “Second sister-in-law, one hundred yuan for the spicy hotpot, I want it now, I’ll send it over as soon as it’s ready.”
