Chapter 164 Misunderstanding
"With my medicine, the external injuries will be mostly healed in three to five days. When the mule cart is ready, you can go back and take a look. Don't let them blame you again."
Song Yuntang said, looking back at him.
"Also, if you pay mother, she will definitely find a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for you. I think second brother can't just listen to mother. The girl must at least pass your own inspection. After all, it's you who's getting married."
Song Jinsheng touched the back of his head.
"Isn't this inappropriate? Before my eldest brother got married, he didn't even know what his eldest sister-in-law looked like."
"Has he never taken a peek?"
"Really not. Our family has only been separated for a few years and our financial situation is not good. As soon as my mother had enough money, she went to find a matchmaker to propose marriage. We got married three months after the proposal. Both of us were forced into it." Song Jinsheng said.
Hearing about being forced to do something, Song Yuntang laughed.
"How could you describe me like that, second brother?" After she finished laughing, she said seriously, "But second brother, I'm speaking from the heart. Although mother isn't a bad person, she certainly hasn't done things properly. This matter of marriage concerns your lifelong happiness, so you must make your own decision."
"Let's see when the time comes. Xu Qingye won't get married until he's 23, and I'm only 18. There's no need to rush." Song Jinsheng said indifferently.
Song Yuntang stopped what he was doing. "I think twenty-three isn't too old, but in today's world, twenty-three isn't considered young for a man. You'd better get married soon, brother. Otherwise, all the good girls will be taken away by other families, and you'll just be left with the remaining ones."
Although she felt that it was okay to delay it for a few years, the world was indeed frustrating. As people got older, their choices were indeed much smaller, and they would also be gossiped about.
People born in the secular world can never escape the worldly customs.
Unless you can put all this aside.
Song Jinsheng thought about it and it made sense.
After all, not everyone has the talent and looks like Xu Qingye.
Not all girls are like my sister who doesn't care about age and only cares about quality.
But he was also worried. He felt a little scared when asked to influence his parents' opinions.
Last time, his mother didn't leave any food for him, and he was too hungry to have the energy to go to bed early, but she misunderstood and scolded him for half the night. If he really disobeyed her, he would have no chance of survival.
Song Yuntang tidied up the small plot of land, sprinkled a mixture of wood ash and chicken and duck manure as base fertilizer, then evenly spread the pepper seeds, covered them with soil and sprinkled water.
She also cut the chives that had grown stronger recently on the windowsill, divided the roots into small strands and planted them in the corners of the wall.
After finishing all these, Song Yuntang picked the cut leeks, washed them and took them to the kitchen.
"Sister Xier, let's have scrambled eggs with leeks tonight."
"it is good."
……
After dinner, everyone in Rongshu Village left. After a while, Mudong and Muqiu came to the village, bringing three pounds of meat and five pounds of flour.
The two men had been working in Song Yuntang's shop for less than a month and had limited money. Three pounds of meat and five pounds of flour were a big gift for them.
"We can't afford to buy anything nice, so you can use it to take care of your health." Mu Dong said as he handed the thing to Chen Xier.
Song Jinsheng felt a little embarrassed.
"It's great that you can come to see me. I don't want the food. You can take it back and eat it yourself. Aunt Cui needs to take care of her health more than I do."
"I still have meat at home. Yesterday on the moonlit night, Sister Song gave my brother and me two pounds of meat each. We still have a lot left." Mu Qiu said hurriedly.
She looked at Song Jinsheng. His exposed skin was covered with bruises, and the corners of his mouth were swollen. His chest and arms were tied with white cotton cloth. He looked seriously ill.
"Brother Jinsheng, why were you beaten like this?"
Looking at the little girl's red eyes, Song Jinsheng smiled.
"I'm fine. Tang'er has applied medicine to me. It doesn't hurt that much. I'll be fine in a few days."
Song Yuntang walked out of the house and came in front of Song Jinsheng.
"Hands out."
Song Jinsheng obediently stretched out his hand.
Song Yuntang pulled out the cork from the small bottle in his hand and poured out three small brown pills.
"Take these pills to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis."
She said, recapping the small bottle and stuffing it into her cuff.
"Mudong, have you found the carriage?"
Mu Dong nodded, "We've found it. Tomorrow at 11:00 AM, we'll set out from town to pick up the goods."
"Okay, I've already told my cousin Zhiye that he'll be at the farm early tomorrow morning, and he'll go with you." She looked at the two of them, "You should go back and get some rest, too. You have to get up early tomorrow."
"Okay." Mu Dong looked at Song Jinsheng, "Jinsheng, take good care of yourself. We'll come visit you when we have time."
"Hey, I see."
Seeing that Mu Qiu was still in a daze, Mu Dong took her arm and walked out of the yard.
Before leaving, Mu Qiu turned back and looked in the direction of Song Jinsheng.
Song Yuntang looked at her expression, and a faint smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his lips.
interesting.
It seems that my second brother’s peach blossom is about to bloom.
By the way, ever since she moved to town, the two of them had been together in front of her for such a long time, but she had never noticed.
Turning to look at his brother who seemed to be unaware of anything, Song Yuntang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
This is the root of the problem.
The falling flowers have feelings but the flowing water is heartless?
"Second brother, what do you think of this girl Mu Qiu?" she asked tentatively.
"It's good." Then he said heartlessly, "But I still think Tang'er is the best."
After hearing this, Song Yuntang didn't want to point it out. He decided to wait and see. If his second brother really had no romantic feelings for Mu Qiu, it would be awkward for them to meet in the future if he revealed it.
When it comes to matters of the heart, outsiders shouldn't interfere too much.
"It's getting late, second brother, do you want to wash up now? I'll get you some water, and I'll apply the medicine to you when I'm done."
"it is good."
……
The next morning, not long after Song Zhiye and Mu Dong left with the carriage, Song Yuntang used a mule to carry two buckets of ice water to the tavern to make sour plum soup and sell it.
Zhao Qiao'e came to the village with other people from Rongshu Village and missed Song Yuntang.
Song Jinsheng heard the noise in the house and didn't even dare to go out.
After seeing Chen Xier and Fubao active in the yard, Zhao Qiao'e preconceived that Song Jinsheng didn't go home because of this mother and son.
This woman looked to be in her early twenties, even older than Jin Yuan.
This little bastard Jinsheng has grown up. He's only eighteen years old and he's already thinking about raising someone else's son?
"Jinsheng, Song Jinsheng, come out here!" Zhao Qiao'e started shouting as she stepped into the yard, scaring Fubao so much that he hurriedly dived into Chen Xier's arms.
Chen Xier touched Fubao's head to comfort him.
"Don't be afraid, Fubao. Grandma is not a bad person." She said, looking at Zhao Qiao'e with a smile, "Aunt, Jinsheng is resting in the room. He might have fallen asleep. I'll go and call him out for you."
