Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 214 Separation

"You have to carry the child to see a doctor after he coughs twice. You have so much money that it's burning up your stomach. You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't manage the household." Aunt Liu became more and more angry as she scolded.

Ma Chun'er's forehead bulged, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Wang Dalang!"

Song Ying took a quick look and realized that Wang Dalang had also come.

Wang Dalang stood up with a helpless look on his face, "Mom, please stop talking."

"Stop talking, if you guys didn't worry about it, would I have to worry about it at my age? The money in our family comes from the wind, so we can spend it whenever we want. I said I didn't want this daughter-in-law at the beginning, but you insisted on marrying her..."

Song Ying didn't want to hear about their family's troubles, so he took the silver needle and went out.

As soon as I opened the door, I bumped into someone.

She pushed him away and took a few steps back. When she saw who was coming, she said in surprise, "Yan Xing! Why are you here?"

Luo Yanxing also saw the person who bumped into him and said happily: "I heard from Brother Lin that you were in the clinic, I was just about to go look for you!"

"Let's go! Let's go to the pharmacy and talk!" Song Yingxing pulled her, "I thought you wouldn't come. You were planning to celebrate your birthday in December. Where's Xiaoxiang?"

As she spoke, she stretched her neck to look around the yard, but did not see Xiaoxiang.

"No need to look for her, she didn't come." Luo Yanxing said angrily, "Now in the village, she doesn't associate with us anymore. She follows her mother every day and doesn't do anything with us."

Song Ying stopped and asked: "Why didn't I hear you tell me last time when I went back? Did you meet Xiaoxiang in private?"

"It happened not long ago, Aunt Zhang was very angry at that time, I thought she was just not letting Xiaoxiang play with us for a while, and it would be fine after she calmed down.

Later, every time I went to see Xiaoxiang, she found all kinds of excuses and refused to go with us. Then I realized something was wrong.

One day I asked her secretly and found out that her mother not only didn’t allow her to play with us, but also didn’t allow her to play with Erni and the others. She even told her to have less contact with Sister Xiaocui.”

Song Ying was shocked: "Why is Aunt Zhang such a person?"

In her impression, among the women in the village, Xiaoxiang's mother Zhang was considered to be the best. She would only scold Xiaoxiang when something big happened, unlike her grandmother and Yanxing's mother Wang, who would scold them for even the smallest thing they could do.

When it comes to food, he is quite generous. When he goes to the market, he will occasionally cut some meat to take home for eating. Unlike their family, although Uncle Song has extra money from selling eels, he is very stingy and rarely eats meat.

If Zhao Hu had not pushed Xiaoxiang into the lotus pond a few years ago, she suspected that his wife Zhang also knew about it. In her heart, Zhang would be the second best woman in Xinghua Village.

Luo Yanxing frowned, "It's Xiaoxiang's fault. Why does she listen to her parents so much? We have so many examples in front of her, but she still refuses to be tough. She listens to her parents in everything. She doesn't have the ability to distinguish right from wrong."

"Are you angry with Xiaoxiang?" Song Ying asked.

Luo Yanxing turned his head away, "Of course I'm angry. She's like a dough, letting her parents knead her into anything she wants."

Song Ying looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he said, "Think about what happened back then. Her father was so cruel. He was different from the adults in our families."

Luo Yanxing was silent. Although the harvest was poor due to floods the year before and drought in the first half of the year, by July he could already see that the rice was growing well.

Because the rice was growing well, not many families sold their children that year. And at that time, Zhao Hu wanted to drown Xiaoxiang.

This was extremely cruel. If a daughter was sold as a slave, she still had hope of survival. If she met a good master, she could have lived a good life. However, Zhao Hu chose to drown his daughter.

After a long silence, Luo Yanxing said, "That's why I'm worried. Her father is so cruel, but she still listens to him and his mother. If she doesn't leave a way out for herself, what will happen in the future?"

Song Ying was also worried about this, but no matter how good their relationship was, they were not members of the Zhao family. In this kind of matter, Xiaoxiang had to stand up for herself.

She asked, "Xiaoxiang is still selling herbs, right?"

"Yes, with her mother. I heard from Sister Xiao Cui that she didn't keep any of the money from the sale. Her mother kept it all."

"That's good."

"You call this okay?" Luo Yanxing was stunned and touched Song Ying's head. "You are not having a fever or talking nonsense, are you?"

Song Ying slapped her hand away and leaned close to her ear and said, "Have you told Xiaoxiang about the clinic helping to lower the price and withhold the money?"

"Xiaoxiang is telling her parents everything now, how dare I tell her! I guarantee that the whole village will know it the moment I say it!" Luo Yanxing was angry and helpless, "It's okay for me now. My parents can't do anything to me if they know, but Xiaocui and the others will be miserable. Some of their money will be taken away again."

Song Ying nodded and said, "I originally planned to give you the withheld money every New Year, so that you will still have some private money in your hands.

Seeing Xiaoxiang's condition now, it would be better not to give her the money for now. Wait until she gets married, and then give it to her quietly. This way it will be considered her dowry.

Go back and tell Sister Xiaocui and the others, and make sure you keep this a secret from Xiaoxiang."

Luo Yanxing agreed.

The two walked back to the pharmacy. Luo Yanxing's eyes fell on her hands and asked curiously, "Why are you holding these needles?"

"These are silver needles for acupuncture. I'll take them to the pharmacy to boil them." The heaviness in Song Ying's heart dissipated a lot, and a smile appeared on his face again. "I forgot to tell you something. Now I..."

At this time, Lin Wenxuan lifted the curtain of the pharmacy and said to Luo Yanxing speechlessly: "Why are you running so fast? I haven't finished talking yet."

Luo Yanxing touched his head embarrassedly and said, "I haven't seen Song Ying for a long time. I'm a little anxious."

Lin Wenxuan shook his head: "Come in quickly, it's cold outside."

After the two entered the house, he pointed at the stove and said, "I have to be busy getting the medicine now, Junior Sister, you can boil the needle yourself."

Song Ying responded and picked up a small pot from the table to get some water, but found that it was already full of water, so he asked, "Is the water here clean?"

Luo Yanxing blinked, looked at Lin Wenxuan, then looked at Song Ying who was walking towards the platform next to him, and blinked again: "Wait, what did he call you just now? Junior Sister?"

She felt something was wrong. She thought Song Ying came to the clinic for something, but why did he look like he was at home?

Song Ying patted his head in annoyance, "I wanted to tell you about this just now, but my senior brother interrupted me and I almost forgot."

"Hey, she deserves it," Lin Wenxuan rolled his eyes and snorted in annoyance. "I wanted to talk to her about this when she first came, but as soon as I started talking about you being in the clinic, she ran away. No matter how I called her, she wouldn't listen."
