Chapter 201 Is it worth entrusting you with life?

After being unwilling to give up, Lu Song still had to face reality.

But he was about to buy rice for his family to eat tomorrow. When he touched his sleeve, he realized that the money bag was missing!

Recalling the time he was hit, Lu Song panicked.

The few dozen coins left in it are enough money for the family to eat tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!
It’s too late to copy books for people today. It will take at least two days to get the money!
Lu Song hurriedly searched for the person who had just bumped into him, but he couldn't even remember what clothes the person was wearing, so how could he possibly find him.

After searching for an hour, he finally sat on the roadside steps in despair.

How did he end up like this?

It would have been better if I had not canceled the engagement...

Even if he likes Yun Niang, he can wait until he gains power through the power of the Su Mansion before taking her into his house.

Lu Song sat on the street and thought for a long time. It wasn't until a few hours passed that he dragged his heavy steps back home.

As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Lu greeted her: "Song'er is back..."

She looked at the things in her son's hands and quickly wondered: "Why didn't you buy rice?"

"The money was stolen." Lu Song said listlessly, his mind filled with images of the life he would have lived now if he had not broken off the engagement.

"What?" Mrs. Lu shouted loudly, and then said with a blameful face, "Song'er, why are you so careless? How will we eat tomorrow?"

Hearing his mother's accusation, Lu Song felt an unprecedented anger in his heart: "How can we eat? Take back these medicines and go buy rice!"

Mrs. Lu didn't expect her son to have such a cold tone towards her, and she even said angrily: "What will happen if Cheng Er retreats? As an elder brother, do you want to see Cheng Er die?"

"He asked for his own death! Did I ask him to gamble?" Lu Song was fed up with having to wipe his ass for the stupid things his younger brother Lu Cheng did over and over again.

After that, he just threw the medicine bag on the table and left.

Mrs. Lu was very angry at his words. Even after everyone left, she was still in the room full of resentment: "You, the eldest brother, how can you say such things? He is your biological brother!"

Although he was already outside, Lu Song could still hear Mrs. Lu's words, and he was so upset that he wanted to smash everything in the house to vent his anger.

What's wrong with him being the eldest brother? Brothers are respectful to each other. He has fulfilled his eldest brother's responsibilities. When has Lu Cheng, the younger brother, ever treated him with respect?

There was no way to relieve the depression in Lu Song's heart, so he could only hide far away from Mrs. Lu, hoping to have a few intimate words with Yun Niang.

In the small backyard, Yun Niang was washing clothes. It was the coldest month of winter, and her hands were red from soaking in the water. As soon as she saw Lu Song's figure, she threw away the clothes aggrievedly: "Cousin..."

"The water is too cold and my hands are frozen, but my aunt insists that I wash them all today." In the past few days, Yun Niang has suffered enough grievances at home.

Although her family was in dire straits in the past, with the support of the Lu family and the help of maids around her, she had never done these jobs herself.

But now, the family is really short of money, and several servants have been sold off long ago, so it is naturally her turn to take care of the family.

Because Mrs. Lu regretted breaking off the engagement, she blamed Yun Niang for all the reasons. Now she still doesn't have the love for her that she had at the beginning, and she just wants to teach her a lesson.

After these few days, Yun Niang had already hated Mrs. Lu as her aunt, but she was an elder, so she had to grit her teeth and endure it.

She felt that after just a few days, she became much more haggard, and if this continued, her hands would sooner or later become rough.The most important thing is that most of the family's money was spent on Lu Song's medicine, so there was no money left for Wen'er to study.

Just because of that die-hard gambler, is it going to ruin his son's future and watch his son have the hope of getting the top prize but not let him study?

Yun Niang felt so wronged that she burst into tears as soon as she finished speaking.

Thinking that today was the first day of the Lunar New Year and it had just snowed, but she had to soak in cold water to wash her clothes, her tears couldn't stop like beads with broken strings.

If in the past, Lu Song would have felt heartbroken when he saw Wen Wan Keren crying and immediately comforted her.

But at this moment, he himself was so annoyed that he was still in the mood to pay attention to such a small thing as Yun Niang washing clothes and freezing her hands.

He just felt that Yun Niang was not as sensible as before. For the sake of the family, he gritted his teeth and copied books every day. He could hardly lift his neck at the end of the day, and she had to bother him with such a trivial matter.

"It's too cold, just bear with it. Is it worth your tears?" Lu Song said impatiently.

Yun Niang was dumbfounded. She never thought that she just cried and complained about her grievances, and what she was waiting for was this answer.

Lu Song was not in the mood to say anything confidant to her, so he only ordered: "The money to buy rice was stolen today. I still have the last ten cents in my room. You can use it to buy some corn for cooking..."

Although the family was in a state of poverty and had a much simpler diet before, their staple food was still white rice. But now that they have no money, they can no longer even afford white rice and can only eat whole grains.

Yun Niang was really stunned this time. She was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time and even stopped crying.

My cousin didn't comfort me, so he let me continue working, and he actually wanted to eat whole grain rice at home?

Originally, she only ate white rice with vegetables, but she found it difficult to swallow. How could she survive eating whole grains?

That was something that not even the servants in the mansion would eat in the past!
Lu Song didn't give Yun Niang a chance to ask more questions and left quickly. Yun Niang looked at his back and felt that he was very strange. He was no longer the gentle and considerate cousin he used to be.

She suddenly felt that her cousin was no different from those incompetent men outside who she had looked down on in the past. He could not even afford to support his wife and children. Even if the children could not study, he actually wanted the family to eat whole grains...

And after he settled here, he never mentioned his intention to marry himself. What did he think? Did he plan to marry another woman?

Yun Niang looked at Lu Song's back with deep suspicion in her eyes.

Could it be that her cousin planned to let herself live like this for the rest of her life? It was still the Chinese New Year and she had to be so wronged. If she had to live like this for the rest of her life, she felt terrible just thinking about it.

Is such a man worthy of her lifelong trust?

Looking at the boundless snow, Yun Niang couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

After the snow, the sky is vast.

In the cold wind, a pine sparrow flew past the wall of the small house, flew over half of Yanjing City, and finally stopped in the continuous courtyard of Zhu Pavilion. It tilted its head and looked at it for a while, flapped its wings twice, and took away the pole. A bunch of corn ears tied.

Jin'er happened to pass by and saw the little bird eating the corn she had hung specially for the bird to spend the winter, and she couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth.

However, she was still busy sending a message to her young lady, so she hurried to Wisteria Garden without having time to read more.

"Miss, the master has brought Divine Doctor Ji back, and now he has gone to Fushouyuan..." Jin'er started talking as soon as she entered the courtyard, "Miss, everyone at the old lady's side said that Divine Doctor Ji looks the same as before. My wife is exactly the same, go and have a look."
