Chapter 175 Coming up with ideas
Deng Shaoyao kowtowed in the direction of Qin Huiyin: "Thank you, sister."
Qin Huiyin quickly moved aside: "Don't kneel down all the time. I'm not much older than you."
Deng Shaoyao said, "As soon as we entered the village, we heard people talking about my sister. They said she was incredibly smart and more capable than many men. Today, she showed me a clear path forward, and I'll always remember this kindness."
"Peony, do you really want to go to the county government office? But what if they don't accept you?" Tang Caiyun was worried.
"If they don't accept me, there are other wealthy families who will. As long as I stay away from that father, my life will be better than it is now." Deng Shaoyao said firmly, "Mom, if I stand up for myself, he won't dare to beat you anymore. When I make money, I will go and find out about my elder and second sisters."
Tang Caiyun covered her face and cried, "I'm useless. I can't protect you sisters. If I could give birth to a son, your father might not be like this now..."
Li Taohua rolled her eyes and said, "Shut up! It's a good thing you didn't give birth to a son, otherwise it would be even more tragic."
"Sister Luwu, the sugar-water eggs should be ready. Let's go and bring them over." Qin Huiyin pulled Tang Luwu away.
Tang Caiyun was particularly afraid of Li Taohua. The last time they met, she was in a hospital bed, on her last breath, her mind hazy. When she regained consciousness, she saw Deng Gui writhing on the ground in agony. At that moment, she felt an unprecedented surge of emotion. She also learned that there really were women in this world who could crush men. Meeting her new sister-in-law again today, she discovered her aura was even greater than she had imagined.
Tang Luwu and Qin Huiyin brought over the sugar-coated eggs.
In order not to embarrass the other party, Qin Huiyin made five servings and gave each person a bowl with four eggs in each bowl.
"I don't like this." Li Taohua said disdainfully, "It makes you fat."
As she spoke, she shared the sugared eggs in her bowl with Tang Caiyun and Deng Shaoyao.
"I'll have Uncle San drive you back in a bullock cart later. They'll definitely be unhappy if you don't get the money. Consider this a gift from me, you don't have to pay it back. But this is just the first time, there won't be a next time.
"Sister-in-law, I..."
"I don't want to hear you talk," Li Taohua interrupted ruthlessly. "I don't like a word you say. Shaoyao, your mother isn't in the right place. Listen to what she says if you like, and don't listen to what she doesn't like. Also, you have to buy something for yourself when you go to the county government office. Here's a hundred coins. Keep it for yourself and don't give it to them. You have to keep it safe. If they find it, I won't be responsible."
"Aunt, I'm borrowing this hundred coins. I'll return it to you later." Deng Shaoyao took it with both hands.
"This is my aunt's support for you, you don't have to pay it back. If you live a good life in the future, come to visit me and buy me some food and daily necessities. I won't refuse your kindness. Take it and keep it well."
Tang Caiyun ate the sugar-coated eggs in big mouthfuls, tears streaming down her face.
How long has it been since she had eaten something so delicious?
Whether it was eggs or sugar water, those were not things she and her daughters could touch.
Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu finished eating the eggs.
"Mom, Third Grandpa is old. How about I take my aunt and cousin back?" Qin Huiyin said, "I can drive an ox cart, too."
"The reason why I call you Third Uncle instead of Tie Niu and Jie Ba is because he is the oldest. No one will gossip if he sends your aunt and Shaoyao back. The roads over there are difficult to travel, and it's not safe for you to go. Your Third Uncle has been driving an ox cart for decades and is very experienced. I know you don't want your Third Uncle to suffer, and I rarely bother him now, letting him enjoy his old age. Today, if the situation is not special, I would not bother him to make a trip." Li Taohua said.
"Then I'll go with Third Grandpa! You guys have taken care of things at home, so let me go out and get some fresh air. I haven't been to other villages yet!"
"Okay, then you can accompany your Third Grandpa for a walk!"
Mr. Tang San was fishing with his old friend. When Qin Huiyin came to find him, there were already several big fish in the bucket.
When Mr. Tang San saw her, he smiled and said, "Yin girl, look at the size of today's fish. Let's have grilled fish tonight. The grilled fish you make is so delicious and goes really well with wine."
"Okay, I'll make grilled fish when I get back in the evening."
"Are you going out?"
"It's not me, it's us." Qin Huiyin gave a brief account of what had just happened. "I wanted to send my aunt and cousin back to the village, but my mother was worried and said the road was difficult to walk on, so I asked my third uncle to accompany me."
"Third Grandpa is enough on his own. You take a good rest here and prepare to make grilled fish."
"No, that won't work. If you want to sneak out and play alone without me, I won't be happy. It's still early, and we can make grilled fish after sending them there. Let's go now."
Mr. Tang San said to Old Man Song beside him, "Stubborn donkey, I'm leaving first. You take your time fishing."
Old Man Song hummed, "Let's go!"
Master Tang San grabbed a big fish and put it into Old Man Song's bucket.
It was too late for Old Man Song to stop him. Third Master Tang picked up his bucket and ran away at full speed, even more agile than a young man.
Qin Huiyin laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, and she squatted down and laughed for a long time.
Mr. Tang San was far away and said to Qin Huiyin, "Stop laughing, Yin girl, and hurry up."
"Third Grandpa, I think my worries are unnecessary. Your health is much better than my Uncle Tang's." Qin Huiyin wiped the tears from her laughter and strode after him.
A rare smile appeared on Old Man Song's serious face.
"He's in his sixties, and he's still so unruly."
"Grandpa Song, we're leaving first. See you later."
"Little girl, thank you for taking care of that old guy." Old Man Song said, "I can feel that he has been very happy recently."
"Grandpa Song, you should be happy too."
Old Man Song watched the old and young figures leave, turned around and looked at the calm lake.
happy?
He is old and somewhat redundant to his children. It doesn't matter whether he is happy or not, or even whether he is alive or not.
Qin Huiyin and Mr. Tang San drove an ox cart to see Tang Caiyun and her daughter off.
Tang Caiyun hugged Deng Shaoyao's arm and said, "Shaoyao, have you really thought it through?"
"Mom, if I could really get a job at the county government, Dad would definitely not sell me out, and he wouldn't even dare to bully you anymore. Believe me, the path my cousin gave me is the best one right now."
"You are the only one I have. If you say yes, I will listen to you."
"Dad sold my two older sisters, and the traffickers took them somewhere else. I want to bring them back, but I have to make money. If I make money, I'll take you somewhere else to live. We don't want him." Deng Shaoyao said, "Mom, we're both women, but my aunt can live so freely, so why can't you? My cousin can live such a happy and sunny life, so why can't I? Don't say it's fate. I don't believe in fate. I believe I can decide my own destiny."
