take a wife to support the family

Chapter 176 Song Haojie Returns

This down-and-out and vicious-looking man limped to the town, passing by the door of Xiao Xiucai's house, where Song Xiuxiu was splashing water.

Song Xiuxiu became thinner and thinner, her eyes were sunken and looked extraordinarily large, a little dull.A small piece of water splashed onto the man's tattered trousers, Song Xiuxiu was startled at first, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, the water is not dirty water."

Immediately afterwards, she realized that this person looked familiar, no, very familiar.

The man stared at Song Xiuxiu, smiling like a vicious dog, showing yellow teeth: "Xiuxiu, is there anything to eat?"

"Third brother?" Song Xiuxiu suddenly realized that this person was Song Haojie, her third brother who was going to prison.

"Is there anything to eat?" Song Haojie was not interested in the girl's excitement, he just wanted to get something to eat.

Song Xiuxiu shuddered, and suddenly remembered that Song Haojie was a prisoner, and her family was a scholar. Her husband would be the official butler in the future, so people should not let people know that there was such a brother-in-law who had been in prison.

She didn't dare to ask Song Haojie to come in, so she quickly ran to the kitchen, stole a hard steamed bun and came out: "Third brother, here it is."

Song Haojie didn't pick up the steamed buns, "Aren't you going to invite me in?"

Song Xiuxiu was afraid of being seen by others, and if her mother-in-law knew about it, it would be another trial, even her husband-in-law would not be happy.She stomped her feet anxiously: "Third brother, take it quickly!"

As soon as Song Haojie took the steamed buns, Song Xiuxiu, like a successful thief, fled into the house and closed the door, panting with her back against the door panel.

As Song Haojie walked forward, he gnawed on the steamed buns that were as hard as stones. He walked unhappily and gorged himself, as if he hadn't had enough food for ten days and a half months.The crumbs of steamed buns scratched his gums roughly, drawing bloodstains, but he didn't care.

A group of little dolls were dancing on the side of the road. Seeing him chewing madly, they couldn't help but think of the "man-eating old goblin" that their mother used to scare them, and they scattered in fright.

Walk for a while, to the front of Lao Song's house.As long as there are people at home, the rural areas generally don’t close their doors during the day. The door of Lao Song’s house is wide open. Jin Bao is sitting on the threshold, holding a white egg in his hand, showing off to his little friend: “Look, isn’t it beautiful?” ? Smell it, is it fragrant?"

A group of children were drooling, and Jinbao was very proud, but he didn't want to share the eggs at all.He is not in a hurry to eat - he eats eggs every day, and he is not particularly greedy. Compared with the taste of eggs, he enjoys the envious eyes of his friends more.

All of a sudden, his eyes went dark, his hands were empty, and a stench hit. Jin Bao reacted, and saw a monster standing in front of him, chewing his eggs, and white foam sprayed out from the corner of his mouth from time to time.

"Wow——" Jin Bao burst into tears in horror, and his friends ran away screaming.

He couldn't run, only a puddle of yellow fluid oozed from his trousers in a small patch.Seeing this scene, Song Haojie felt a little familiar, and made a smile of unknown meaning, more and more like wanting to eat people.

Hearing Jinsun's cry, Song Niu hurriedly ran out of the house, cursing: "Which bastard with short eyes dares to bully my Jinbao? Look at my old lady—San'er?"

Mother and child are connected, only Niu can recognize his beloved son at a glance.Jin Bao cried for a while and didn't cry to support him, but he saw Niu rushing up to hug the monster, crying loudly: "My third son, you are back! Once you leave, you will goug out your mother." darling!"

No one can't live without a heart, but Niu's life is full of radiance without a heart. Her heart, Song Haojie, stands upright, showing no sign of being moved.

Niu howled for a long while, and quickly pulled Song Haojie into the house: "First wash your face and change your clothes, mother will cook meat for you."

Song Haojie remained silent, with a gloomy smile on his face, allowing Niu to pull him into the house and make a fuss. Seeing his sister-in-law frantically looking for her elder brother's old clothes, she asked slowly: "My old clothes Clothes?"

Dong's face was embarrassed: "You are not at home these days, and your nephew is growing up, so I will make your clothes smaller for him to wear. Jin Bao knows that you treat him well, and said that he will respect you."

Didn't it mean that the river workers are dangerous, and people fall into the river every day and can't get out?

Thinking of her mother-in-law's partiality for her brother-in-law, and the fact that the family property will be divided as soon as he comes back, Dong's heart aches for a while.

Song Haojie didn't speak again, Mo changed his face into clothes, and ate with a sigh of relief.Niu was the only one who was generous with him. He cut more than ten slices of bacon, fried them in a pan, added water to make a pot of soup, and added a few poached eggs. It was the best meal for guests in the countryside.

Poached eggs in bacon soup are quick to make. While watching Song Haojie eat lovingly, Mrs. Niu urged Mrs. Dong: "There is another pork leg that was slaughtered during the Chinese New Year. Go clean it and cook it."

He couldn't stop telling Song Haojie: "Eat slowly, there's still some in the pot, mother will add another egg for you."

Reluctantly, Mrs. Dong untied a pork leg from the kitchen beam, singed the hair on the fire, and boiled it in a large pot.Her mind is full of horror at this moment, and she has no intention of serving her uncle at all.

Mrs. Niu didn't care what Mrs. Dong thought, she was the head of the family, and said to Mrs. Dong: "Go and call Xiuxiu back, and then ask the second child's family to come too."

Song Haojie suddenly choked and coughed uncontrollably. Niu quickly patted him on the back and said, "Don't worry, with me here, my second child doesn't dare to do anything to you. I will definitely ask him to kowtow to you."

In an instant, Song Haojie's ferocity and viciousness that had been cultivated on the river work all dissipated, and he thought of Chen Bin's smiling face, and his whole body trembled: "No, I don't see my second brother!"

After several months in prison, and half a year in Hedao, he fought with others and grabbed food, thinking he could risk everything, but he dared not tell others what Chen Bin had done to him, he dared not say a word come out.

He was terrified of Chen Bin, and even felt that Song Haonian was also scary - if it weren't for the same evil star, how could Song Haonian be called brother and brother with someone like Chen Bin?
Niu was stunned, and wanted to persuade Song Haojie: "Is it not good to ask your second elder brother and second sister-in-law to serve you?"

Song Haojie suddenly slapped the table and said, "If they come, I'll leave!"

Niu suddenly felt distressed, and kept saying: "Okay, don't ask them to come, and won't let them in from now on. Boss, daughter-in-law, you go and ask Xiuxiu to come home to see her second brother."

Only then did Song Haojie stare fiercely at him for a week, and sat back to eat.

Mrs. Dong hadn't entered Liu's house when she heard Xiucai's mother scolding: "Your Song family raised a thief like you who stole things from your mother-in-law's house? God open your eyes, my family married a thief!"

The bursts of cursing were interspersed with Song Xiuxiu's crying, and Dong made her wish for a while, and she was a little ashamed—she could only be happy that the little sister was tortured, and the beautiful girl cursed and brought the whole old Song's family in, and she couldn't bear it.

If you want to talk about why the little scholar is good at studying, maybe his mother really has the credit. For example, now, the scholar's mother slapped her thigh and cursed for a long time, but she didn't have the intention of stopping her dry mouth.

After all, Mrs. Dong didn't dare to go in, and walked away on tiptoe. She had to pinch her thigh hard to avoid laughing on the street——Song Xiuxiu has been crazy for these years, and she treats her sister-in-law worse than a maid. Someone fix her!
When she got home, Dong put on another face and said to Niu: "When I went, my in-laws were teaching Xiuxiu how to behave, and she was not asked to come back."

Niu's face darkened, remembering that Liu Rulong is a person with a bright future, he didn't dare to offend the Liu family, so he could only scold Dong: "What can I do for you!"

Dong said in her heart: "Come on, scold me, you are here to grind me, someone else will grind your daughter!"
The pork leg is boiled to the point where it is off the bone. Take it out and tear it into large pieces while it is hot. Sprinkle with salt to make a dish. The remaining broth is boiled with some green vegetable leaves to make another soup.

The Niu family and the Dong family are the two heads of the family. The Song family is doing well, but there is not much oil and water on the dinner table.In normal times, Jin Bao would have gnawed his mouth full of oil with his hands up, but today he didn't dare to make a mistake, being watched by Song Haojie, he was frightened for a while, and he just wanted to run out, but he couldn't bear to be full of meat on the table. .

Old couple Song, Song Haoshi and his wife plus Jinbao, and Song Haojie, there are six people in total, and it is said that they can have a meal in peace.

However, Song Haojie didn't show good face, everyone looked like someone else owed him [-] yuan, no one was happy except Niu Shi, Niu Shi loved her son, did he wipe the corner of his eyes, Song Haojie just ate and sneered, Jin Bao Grilling the rice with a bitter face, he dared not pick up a piece of meat himself.

Song Haojie was about to go back to his room after dinner, Dong said in a hurry: "Your bedding is damp, and you didn't bring a message back in advance, let's use our bedding first."

In fact, Song Haojie's quilt had already been cleaned by her and covered with Jinbao. Dong's affairs were not strict, and if Song Haojie pursued her, Niu would definitely make her unable to bear it.

Fortunately, Song Haojie didn't say anything, Dong made the bed, and he fell asleep, and soon snored, which could be heard all over the yard.

Niu wiped his eyes and said, "My son has suffered a lot."

The old man Song smoked a pipe and said: "I don't think the third child is the same as before. Wait for two days to rest and find him a job to work hard. After a year or two, he will be able to marry a wife."

The boss of the Niu family didn't want his third son to work for others, but there was nothing he could do. He kept complaining to Song Haonian in his heart - if he hadn't insisted on sending the third son to prison, would the third son have suffered?

On the second day, Song Haojie slept for a whole day, and Niu Shi even brought him food into the house to eat. Niu Shi only cared about his son and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

In the days that followed, Song Haojie slept until the sun rose three poles every day, got up as if he had no bones, ate a meal, and then lay back down again, until he squatted down and the meal was cooked.

He didn't ask Niu to tell Song Haonian about his return, and seeing that Tian didn't go out at home, he was only willing to go out for a walk in the evening when it was dark, and he didn't go far, and would come back soon, so he came back It took seven or eight days for Song Haonian to know that the brother who was sent to prison by him had returned home.
