Yoshida Mii

Chapter 33 Order
Mrs. Shuanzi came to make such a fuss. Second Uncle Song came out but didn't get any money. Second Aunt Song lay under the window of the west wing and peeked out. It's fine if you don't get the money, and you don't even dare to fart in front of Mrs. Huang.The two slings of money were relocated in the village chief's hand, and handed over from old man Hong to the Mantang family. Song Yu didn't even touch it.

As soon as Second Uncle Song came in, Second Aunt Song became annoyed, lowered her voice, and twisted and scolded Song Yu with her stomach in her hands.

Song Yu shouted angrily: "What can I do? You saw the situation at that time. The village head stood there, and Mother didn't say anything. How can I refuse to pay back the money?"

Second Aunt Song also knew in her heart that it was impossible not to pay back the money, but she just felt unhappy and hung up the money twice!He sat down next to Song Yu, pushed Song Yu and said angrily: "The head of the family, the elder brother and the third younger brother have both studied, and our house is the most disadvantaged! The old lady is too biased! I don't care, big and small You have to study too!"

Song Yu let out a "beep" and said impatiently: "Women are ignorant, so what's the use of studying? With so many studies and so much money, how many of them are admitted to the scholar? Even if they are admitted to the scholar, look Look at the big brother, isn’t that the case? Big Mao and Ermao are not the material for studying! With the money for his study, it’s too much to build two houses for him and marry a wife!”

It's no wonder Song Yu thinks so. Studying is really a high-risk investment. These days, books are very expensive, pens, inks, papers and inkstones are not cheap, and going to school requires expensive repairs.After paying taxes on the output of the farmland, there is only enough food and clothing. Even if the family is well-to-do, they just let their children read for a year or two to recognize some words and understand the truth, and then go home.Those who provide education for two children like the Song family are a minority among the minority.

Second Aunt Song didn't think so. If one of the two sons could pass the examination as a scholar, he would have achieved fame. You can see how well Dongbao's father is respected and treated in the village. What a wonderful thing to be able to feed a family! "Er Mao is not suitable for studying, but our Da Mao is smart. If his grandma is not so biased and willing to support Da Mao to study, he might be another scholar!"

Song Yu is also a little moved. Although the benefits of being a scholar are not many, they are much better than him, a poor farmer. At least he is supported by the state and has no worries about food and clothing. To support the third younger brother to study, and the whole family to eat.

"How can our mother be willing?" Song Yu lowered his voice and said, "I don't even have money to pay off my elder brother's debts, so what can I get for Da Mao's education?"

Second Aunt Song snorted, "Who would believe that she has no money? Didn't she save it for the third child?" Pushing Song Yu, she said, "Go tell mother that Da Mao is ten years old. It's time to go to school."

Song Yu sat on the edge of the bed and didn't move for a long time. As long as he could remember, the Huang family was the master of the Song family, the king of the Song family. Who would dare to ask Huang for advice?Seeing that Second Aunt Song was frowning and about to make a scene, Song Yu hurriedly comforted her, "Okay, let me tell you, don't make trouble, it's not good for my mother to hear."

Second Aunt Song immediately smiled and urged Second Uncle Song to go quickly.

Song Yu had already boasted, so he had to put on his jacket and go out. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the curtain, he saw Huang Shi standing at the door of the west wing with a face, staring at him. Song Yu felt guilty and laughed along with him. Said: "Mother, why are you standing here?"

Mrs. Huang snorted coldly, patted her chest and said, "My old lady, I'm not lucky. I worked like a cow to earn money and married two daughters-in-law. In the end, I couldn't even eat hot food. I still have to serve them when I'm old! I owe it to you." What’s yours? Do you want to eat my flesh and drink my blood one by one?”

Song Yu also waited in the house for a long time, waiting for lunch, but Mrs. Li did not come out in the east room, and no one went in to cook in the kitchen room. As soon as she came out, she caught up with Mrs. Huang and vented her anger.

"Go, ask your daughter-in-law to come out and cook!" After cursing, Huang ordered Song Yu, "If you don't come out of the house, think of yourself as a young lady? Our old Song family can't afford it, so tell her to go back to Lu's house as a nurse." Young Mistress!"

Song Yu became unhappy, "Where's sister-in-law? Isn't Da Mao's mother pregnant with Mao Mao, so she's not feeling well!"

Originally, Mrs. Huang was very angry with the two daughters-in-law, but when Song Yu said this, Mrs. Huang became even more angry with Mrs. Lu, the second daughter-in-law who was hiding in the house. , On the surface, I'm kind to you, but I don't know how to speak ill of you behind my back, but now it's good, she can't even order her daughter-in-law to cook.

"Why, I still can't order your wife? Second child, you have no conscience! If you have a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, I will give birth to you for nothing!" Huang's lips trembled in anger, and the obedient eldest son died. Now the second son in front of her is a motherless and only daughter-in-law, why is her life so miserable!
Song Yu felt apprehensive when he saw this battle. He was beaten and scolded by Mrs. Huang when he was a child, and he was most afraid that his mother would do this. He immediately turned back and shouted fiercely into the room: "Did you hear what mother ordered? You are deaf!" Hurry up and get out and cook!"

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Huang felt a little satisfied. She snorted arrogantly, turned around and walked towards the main room, before leaving, said, "Follow me to the main room, I have something to tell you."

Song Yu hurriedly followed, leaving Aunt Song gritted her teeth and stomped her feet angrily in the west wing. Seeing Song Zhaodi sitting beside her with her arms folded, she couldn't help kicking her up, "Didn't you hear what your grandma said? Hurry up!" Going to make a fire and boil water, it's really useless, just like your father, useless! It's even better than Dong Bao!"

Song Zhaodi hurriedly got up and ran into the kitchen room. Today, grandma got angry and never scolded her mother. Today, she blocked the door and scolded her. Her mother was also angry and took it out on her.

After Song Yu entered the main room, old man Song was sitting on the bed smoking a pipe. When he saw his son coming in, he just raised his eyes and sat quietly. Song Yu was also used to old man Song not saying a word, so he went straight to Huang In front of Shi, she took a small bench and sat down, and asked, "Mother, why did you call me here?"

Ms. Huang looked at the east room through the curtain with her mouth curled up, and said to Song Yu, "Tomorrow, you go to the town and ask Shan's house what their attitude is."

When Song Yu heard this, he couldn't help but slapped his thigh, "Mother, don't you need to ask? If Shan Qiang still thought about my brother's kindness to him, he wouldn't send a clerk when he was doing something for my brother. A drop of money is here! They are rich and prosperous now, and they look down on poor farmers in our countryside, so it’s useless to go there!” Look, even the old Hong’s family can see clearly.

Mrs. Huang frowned and said nothing. If Shan Qiang had intentions, he would not have done this. It's just that Shan's family is rich, and even if he is so rich, Mrs. Huang has fantasies about this marriage. As long as Dong Bao Being able to marry into the Shan family, the Song family will be able to get rid of their poverty. Not only can they continue to provide for the elders to study, but also have hope for the rest of the family.

"Besides, Shan's family has a big business, so they just come to the door like this, and they don't even have money for the porter to drink tea, so they don't bother to talk to you!" Seeing that Mrs. Huang was silent, Song Yu muttered boldly.

"Don't talk about what's there!" Huang yelled with her eyes wide open, "Go as soon as you're told, but now that your wings are hardened, even I can't order you, can you?"

Song Yu hurriedly laughed along, "No, mother, isn't it because you don't have any money in your hand, so you're panicking? We are also in-laws of the Shan family, so we shouldn't be ashamed in front of our in-laws, right?"

Mrs. Huang sighed, got up and went to her and old man Song's room. Song Yu craned his neck to look in, but the compartment was blocked by a curtain made of rags, so he couldn't see what was inside.After a while, Mrs. Huang opened the curtain and came out, and handed Song Yu a handful of copper coins. Song Yu was overjoyed, and quickly took it. After a cursory look, there were ten or twenty coins!

"This money is for you to use on the road." Huang said, looking at the handful of copper coins, she was very distressed, "Use it on the right road, you can't buy anything that is not useful, save some money. Now our family is in a bad situation." It’s not as good as it used to be, I owe a lot of debts, and your third brother is still studying..." As he spoke, Mrs. Huang sighed. Studying is a big expense. The eldest son, the breadwinner of the family, died, which was a blow to the Song family. Too big, if her eldest son is still there, filial and capable, how can she have this worry?
Song Yu put the money in his arms first, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice after listening to Huang's words, and finally couldn't help but said: "The third brother has also studied for these years, and he has tried twice for the next exam, but he didn't pass the exam." , I can't bear to go home..."

Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Huang became annoyed and slapped Song Yu on the forehead, "What are you talking about? What nonsense are you talking about! A dog can't spit out ivory! Didn't your elder brother take the exam for several years before he took the exam?" Did you get it? Do you know how easy it is to be an official? All the scholars in the world are taking the test, but how many pass the test? The competition is so fierce, is it possible to get it in a short while? Qianqian, if your third younger brother comes home, don’t talk about it in front of him, it won’t delay his studies!”

Song Yu resentfully apologized to Mrs. Huang, but she gritted her teeth in her heart. Mrs. Huang had a steelyard in her heart, and she knew who was important and who was not. She raised her elder brother and wanted him to be promoted and make a fortune, so she also enjoyed the blessings. Being a mud leg in the country again, the elder brother had earned all these years' money anyway, but died in his prime, Huang was both heartbroken and hated, and more and more devoted all his efforts to the third child.The eldest brother is good, the third brother is good, and he was the one who picked it up!Aren't his two sons the grandsons of the Song family?

Seeing her son admitting his mistake, Mrs. Huang didn't take it seriously. This second son is a well-known bum, lazy and reckless, so it's not unusual for him to say such a thing.

"Come back as soon as you have asked clearly. Be careful with what you say. Don't offend others with your mouth. If the Shan family doesn't intend to get married, it's better to make Dongbao's mother give up her heart." Huang said.

Song Yu asked cautiously: "Then what if the Shan family doesn't get married? Eldest brother still owes foreign debts for work!"
