Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 178 Solution

At this point, Mrs. Li felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have stopped her grandson, and she wouldn't have discovered that he was missing until today.

Of course, the worst thing to do is to trust the eldest wife, thinking that they are family after all and they just live next door. You can't expect her to help in any way, but you can ask her to look after them.

She rubbed her swollen forehead and said impatiently, "Don't argue, I'm very annoyed now and don't have time to reason with others."

Song Yuan pursed his lips, but still whispered: "I want my sister."

Li simply ignored him. She looked out at the pitch-dark night and thought about how to deal with the worst-case scenario. Gradually, she came up with ideas and her anxiety was reduced a lot.

No matter what, the Song family's reputation must be preserved.

At the beginning of the hour of Hai, Uncle Song and Yang finally came back. As soon as they entered the door, Uncle Song was so angry that he kicked over the chair blocking his way, as if it was Song Ying.

"This damn woman is so arrogant. She didn't even say hello. She really doesn't consider us as her family!"

"Dad, where is my sister?" Song Yuan asked anxiously.

Second Uncle Song sat down and saw that Li had finally calmed down a bit. He said, "She is fine. She is working part-time in the Shen family."

Li's heart was at peace, he had a clear place to go, and his clean reputation was finally not tarnished.

Immediately, she was furious: "I told you this is a bad omen. You insisted on raising that short-lived kid Fuping. You didn't even discuss such a big thing with your family!

As expected, he is half Wang family blood, so cold and indifferent, he doesn’t recognize his family before his wings are strong enough…”

Yang was also very angry. A grown woman had gone to work in the Shen residence for nearly half a month, but her family knew nothing about it. If the news got out, how would outsiders view them? They would definitely accuse them of not caring about their niece.

It was an exceptionally cold autumn morning. Song Ying went to the big kitchen to get some hot breakfast. As soon as she took it out of the food box, she heard Xiaolu, the maid from the small kitchen, calling her.

She checked the food box and didn't find any wrong dishes or missing any, so she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Master, please eat first. You don't have to wait for me."

After saying this, she hurried out and saw Xiaolu's face covered in sweat and panting. She asked hurriedly, "What happened?"

"Sister Song Ying, your grandmother and second uncle are here to look for you. They look very anxious. Something might have happened to your family."

Song Ying's heart suddenly tightened, but he was still discovered.

Soon, she felt relieved again. In the past half month, she had thought more than once about how to deal with it if she was discovered by Li and others so that she could continue to stay in the Shen Mansion.

Now that I have been officially accepted as a disciple by Doctor Lin, I have more confidence to stay.

She thanked Xiaolu and followed him to the back door.

As a temporary worker who was specifically responsible for the medicinal food preparation of Shun'an County, Song Ying was quite prestigious among the maids and servants in the big kitchen.

Seeing her from a distance, a maid smiled and said to Li: "Madam, Sister Song Ying is here."

Li turned her head and looked in the direction she pointed, and was stunned for a moment.

The girl walking towards her from a distance was wearing a brand new green dress, her hair combed into a neat bun, and she was wearing a silver hairpin.

"Grandma." Song Ying called out.

Only then did Li take her eyes off the silver hairpin in her hair. She flew into a rage and grabbed Song Ying's arm and dragged her out.

"This is outrageous! He ran away without telling anyone!"

"Sister Song Ying!" The maid who was enthusiastically accompanying Li was stunned at the same time as Xiaolu who went to call Song Ying. They had never expected that this would be the outcome when the grandmother and granddaughter met.

Song Ying struggled and retorted: "You said it, you will not care about my business from now on!"

"How dare you talk back!" Li slapped Song Ying in the face with her other hand.

Song Ying's arm was pulled by her and he had no way to dodge, so he had to endure it.

With a snapping sound, five clear finger marks were instantly left on Song Ying's face!

She was in so much pain that tears rolled down her cheeks instantly. She struggled with all her strength and finally broke free from Li's pull. She covered her face and ran away for a distance.

Li was about to chase after her, but Xiaolu and another maid finally came to their senses and quickly stopped her: "Madam, please talk nicely! Let's talk nicely!"

"Talk to her nicely? I don't think she would listen. This damn girl deserves a beating. If she wasn't beaten enough, she would dare to act so lawless..."

"You were the one who said you didn't care about my business." Song Ying emphasized again, "I just came out to do a short-term job. I didn't steal or rob, and I didn't kill or burn anything. How can you say I'm lawless?"

Li's eyes sharpened and she raised her hand to hit again, but was stopped by the two maids.

"You two girls, get out of the way. I will beat this unfilial girl to death today!"

Li didn't dare to take action against the maids from the Shen Mansion, and she didn't even dare to push them away. After all, they were people from the Shen Mansion, and if they were injured, they would have to pay for the medical expenses.

Song Ying was very aware of Li's point, and took the opportunity to continue: "This is the Shen Mansion, the official's residence, not the family compound. If you make trouble again and alarm the Shunan County Princess, we will all be in trouble!"

After saying that, he thought that Li probably didn't know what the county lady was, so he added, "Shun'an County Lady is the daughter of Prince Hui!"

Li became even angrier after hearing this: "I raised you. Even if I beat you to death, I can still justify it in the eyes of the government!"

Uncle Song often sold eels to these wealthy families. He had a lot of dealings with them and was familiar with the cruel things that happened in the inner courtyards and backyards. He was a little scared and pulled Li away, saying, "Mom, this is the Shen Mansion. Let's go out and talk it over."

Being held back by her son, the angry Mrs. Li finally came to her senses and felt a little scared.

Shen Fu, this is a high-ranking official. The high-ranking official who visited the Wutong Village Community School that day was very kind when he mentioned Shen Zhuangyuan.

After that day, all the nearby villages were laughing at Rongshu Village. If they had not done such ruthless things back then, and the Shen family had become wealthy, the county would have treated their village very well just by mentioning it.

It’s not like now, when all the benefits go to the merchants in Zhuangyuanfang.

Thinking of this, Li couldn't help but glared at Song Ying angrily and said, "Come out with me!"

Song Ying really didn't want to go out, but this matter had to be resolved. He had already been slapped and scolded. If the matter was not resolved today, he might get scolded again later.

Moreover, Li has calmed down a bit from his anger, and there is still great hope of resolving the issue.

She smiled at Xiaolu and the other maid and said, "Thank you both sisters for coming today. You can go back first. I will talk to my family."

Xiaolu glanced at Li, a little worried, and asked, "Do you want me to call Doctor Lin?"

"No need, I can handle it." Song Ying waved his hands repeatedly.

She had just become Dr. Lin's disciple, and she didn't want to cause trouble for her master and leave a bad impression on him because of the mess at home.
