Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 157 Giving in

Song Ying understood what she meant, knowing that she was not really so angry that she wanted to jump into the river. She felt relieved and immediately began to add fuel to the fire:

"Why are you stopping me? Didn't you just say that we should just beat her to death and be done with it? Let her die. Just consider it as raising this daughter for nothing for ten years. If this one is disobedient, Aunt Wang can just give birth to another obedient one.

It would be better to be like Sister Xiaohua, who would never go west if told to go east, and would not keep her money for herself like Yan Xing.

No, such an obedient child would not think of making money by collecting herbs. She would do whatever Aunt Wang said. Even if she was to marry a lame and dumb man, she would readily agree and would find ways to bring things from her husband's family back to her own family..."

Snapped!

Someone slapped her on the back, interrupting Song Ying's chatter.

Song Ying turned around and saw that it was Qian.

Before she could speak, Qian said, "How can you be so mean, woman? You don't even consider the time when you speak. Yan Xing is your good friend. If you don't try to persuade her, you're afraid she won't die, right?"

Song Ying pursed her lips and said nothing.

But her words reminded Wang.

A girl of this age will be able to get married and receive a dowry in a few years. If she dies now, it would be a waste of raising her!

Besides, Luo Yanxing can now make money by collecting herbs, but not everyone can do that. In previous generations of Xinghua Village, there has never been anyone who can recognize herbs and make money.

What's more, this girl can read, so she won't have trouble finding a good husband!

Thinking of this, Wang strode over, grabbed Luo Yanxing's arm and dragged him home, "I'll deal with you when I get back!"

After the incident of Luo Yanxing wanting to jump into the river, Aunt Meihua was no longer in the mood to beat her daughter. She comforted herself that no matter what, her daughter was at least more obedient than Song Ying and Luo Yanxing.

At noon, Song Ying was sitting under the eaves, eating with the pottery jar in his arms. Luo Yanxing called out from outside the courtyard, "Song Ying, I'm fine! Are you fine? How long will it take before you can go to the mountain?"

Song Ying looked at Luo Yanxing standing at the gate of the courtyard, a little speechless, "I'm not deaf, you don't have to be so loud at such a close distance, right?"

Besides, the fences of her new home were short and tattered, and one could see what was inside clearly from the outside. She was guarding a clay pot and holding a makeshift spoon made of bamboo strips, and it was obvious that she was eating. Of course, she was not well!

Luo Yanxing propped himself up on one of the wooden planks of the fence with one hand and easily jumped into the yard. "I'm telling everyone this. I want everyone to know that I'm here to find you. My mother has compromised!"

"Really?" Song Ying was very surprised.

Luo Yanxing was beaming with joy. He raised his hand, revealing a small cloth bag tied to his wrist. "I got back three taels of silver. From now on, you can give half of your earnings back to your family."

"You even got the money back! That's amazing! You were able to get money from your parents! How did you do it?"

Song Ying was extremely shocked. The villagers attached great importance to money. Even during the Chinese New Year, the New Year's money given to them by relatives would be taken away with various reasons. However, Luo Yanxing was able to get back the money that had gone into the pockets of Luo Yong and his wife, and it was a full three taels of silver!

Luo Yanxing laughed smugly: "I would risk my life for it. If they don't give it to me, I will go and bang my head against the wall, making all their plans go awry and making them raise me in vain!

Hey, I just realized today that my parents aren’t that scary after all. They are afraid of a lot of things.”

Song Ying didn't know what to say for a moment. She guessed that Luo Yong and his wife would compromise, but she didn't expect them to compromise to this extent.

After digesting it for a while, she said, "Congratulations, your problem has been solved. Do you want to celebrate?"

"Of course I must!" Luo Yanxing was filled with joy. Although he lost more than half of his money and would have to hand over half of it in the future, this matter was resolved and he no longer had to worry about the money being taken away if something went wrong one day.

In the future, she can spend money freely. She wants to buy beautiful clothes, beautiful hairbands, eat meat, and eat all kinds of delicious snacks...

Song Ying originally wanted to buy some meat and vegetables and cook a sumptuous meal. This is how the villagers celebrated happy events.

But after looking at her pottery jar and bamboo spoon, she gave up the idea and suggested, "How about we go to the county town to eat out tomorrow?"

"Uh..." Luo Yanxing hesitated, "How about trying another method, so as not to run into the fugitive again."

"How could there be so many fugitives for us to encounter? The last time was just a coincidence. The three of them have already been arrested. Don't worry, nothing will happen to them.

In addition to this, can you think of other ways to celebrate? As for playing, we can always give ourselves a day off if we want to play;

We have visited the county town many times, and there is nothing to see anymore, unless we make a lot of money in the future, then we can go to stores like Jin Man Lou and Jin Yi Fang to buy gold and silver jewelry and silk clothes.

We have eaten all kinds of snacks in the city, big and small, and it is not worth buying them specifically for celebration."

Luo Yanxing thought about it seriously, and it was true. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Okay, let's go to a restaurant tomorrow. I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs."

"it is good!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After a moment, Song Ying knocked on the pottery jar and said, "Would you like to have some? It's pure rice porridge. I also added some meat to it."

Luo Yanxing blinked his eyes and nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Here, I haven't bought a spoon yet, so I'll have to make do with a bamboo stick."

"As long as there's meat to eat." Luo Yanxing happily took the bamboo stick and scooped a piece of meat porridge from the pottery jar and started eating.

Song Ying thought about what happened today and asked while eating: "By the way, what happened today? How did the adults know that you still intercepted a part of it?"

Luo Yanxing pursed his lips and said unhappily, "It was Xiaoxiang. Her parents got up today and continued to interrogate her. She was scared and told her parents everything.

Really, we all agreed to only hand over the money for the tiger grabber, but she couldn't bear it, so she handed it all over herself, and even implicated us!"

Luo Yanxing became angrier and angrier as she spoke. If she hadn't already gotten back the three taels of silver, she would have wanted to rush into the Zhao family and have a fight with Xiaoxiang.

"Her parents are usually pretty nice to her. I don't know why she is so scared?" Whether in the entire Xinghua Village or among the three of them, Xiaoxiang's parents are pretty nice to her.

Luo Yanxing's parents only wanted a son, so they either beat or scolded their daughter Luo Yanxing. Not to mention Song Ying, who lived under someone else's roof and was always worried about being kicked out. In comparison, Xiaoxiang's family was the most normal.

Song Ying put down the bamboo strips in his hand and said, "Do you remember when we were five years old and Xiaoxiang fell into the lotus pond?"

"I remember." Luo Yanxing was a little puzzled. "How could I not remember such an important thing?"
