Chapter 44 Rumors
Song Li touched Song Xing and Song Yue's heads and said to them softly, "Don't be afraid, everything is fine now."
After hearing this, Song Yue raised her head and asked Song Li: "Sister, will that person come to pry open our door again?"
After hearing this, Song Li thought for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be the case. He was scared away, otherwise how could the knife fall at our doorstep?"
After hearing this, Song Yue and Song Xing felt relieved.
Zhang asked Song Xing and Song Yue to go play nearby first. She asked Song Li, "Tell me the truth. What happened?"
Song Li's words may be enough to coax Song Yue and Song Xing. Zhang may believe them for a while, but sooner or later she will find something suspicious in them.
Song Li knew that she couldn't hide the secret from Zhang for long, so she told Zhang what happened last night.
After hearing this, Zhang was shocked by Song Li's courage and felt sorry for her. She was such a timid child before, but now she could stand in the yard for a long time in the night of thunder and lightning to protect her family.
Zhang pulled Song Li over, then stood up and hugged Song Li. Both Zhang and Song Li had tears in their eyes.
Song Li adjusted her mood and said, "Mom, let's find a good day to burn some paper for grandpa and grandma. We need to make others believe that it is grandpa and grandma who bless us."
Zhang nodded after hearing this. She said to Song Li, "Xiao Li, you should take a rest for a while. I will take out the leftover paper from the Qingming Festival and fold some gold ingots for them."
After Song Li returned to her room, she lay down for a while, but could not fall asleep again. She wondered who this man was and what his purpose was. Was it for the five taels of silver she had been betrothed to? Or was this man Li Chun, whom Wang Juan had sent to deal with her?
Song Li thought for a while and felt her head ache again. She rubbed her head with her hands and decided not to think about anything. The enemy is in the dark, and the Song family is in the light. They can only fight back and block the water.
After a while, Song Yue also ran in. She smiled and said to Song Li, "Sister, it's so cool outside."
When Song Li saw that Song Yue was wet all over, she quickly took a handkerchief, dried Song Yue's hair, and then asked her to change her clothes.
At this time, Zhang's roar came from next door: "Song Xing, if you do this again, I will beat you up. Go change your clothes quickly. I'll go boil some ginger water and send a bowl to your second sister later."
After hearing this, Song Yue laughed softly. Song Li tapped her forehead and said, "Yueyue, stop laughing. Maybe mother will be here soon."
As soon as Song Li finished speaking, Zhang came over with an angry face and scolded Song Yue.
After Zhang finished scolding, she smiled and said to Song Li, "Xiao Li, go to rest quickly! I'm sorry to have disturbed you just now." Then she went to the kitchen to boil ginger water.
Song Yue looked at Song Li and said to her, "Mom changes her expression so quickly!"
After hearing this, Song Li smiled but didn't say anything. Song Yue said again: "Sister, I want the wind to blow a little harder, so that the room won't be too hot and there won't be mosquitoes."
Song Li listened to the whistling wind outside and said to Song Yue, "Yueyue, let the wind die down a bit. I don't want to wait until the sky clears up to help with the corn."
When Song Yue heard this, her face immediately fell. She said sullenly, "Sister, I don't want to either. Corn leaves are very scratchy and my face is scratched every time. It's also very itchy."
After hearing this, Song Li could only comfort Song Yue. After all, she couldn't change this kind of thing.
Song Yue said again: "Sister, do you think the people in Heihe Town need to help Yumi?"
After hearing this, Song Li smiled and said, "Maybe. If there is no corn plantation or no fields, there should be no need to support corn."
After hearing this, Song Yue asked in confusion: "Sister, if there is no land, what will they eat?"
Song Yue's understanding of the world basically comes from Wuzhuang Village. She thinks that all people should be like the villagers in Wuzhuang Village, working from sunrise to sunset and resting from sunset to sunrise.
Song Li rubbed Song Yue's little head and said, "Yueyue, they have their own way of survival. When you leave this village and see how big the world is, you will naturally understand. No matter how much I tell you, it's useless. Don't people always say that seeing is believing!"
After hearing this, Song Yue raised her head and asked Song Li: "Sister, who told you this?"
Song Li thought for a moment, then smiled and said to her, "I heard it from Jiang Qingzhou."
After hearing this, Song Yue said to Song Li, "Sister, I will embroider more handkerchiefs and sachets, just like Ruyi, and sell them at the market. Then I can make some money and go to the county town. I haven't been to the county town yet!"
After hearing this, Song Li smiled and said to Song Yue: "I haven't been there either. Yueyue and I will work hard together, and when the time comes, we will go together."
After hearing this, Song Yue jumped for joy a few times and then continued to embroider the handkerchief.
Song Li looked at her hands again. Although she and Song Yue had worked hard together, she seemed to be able to do nothing. It was really frustrating.
After a while, Song Xing brought the ginger water to Song Yue. After Song Yue drank it, she repeated to Song Xing what she had just said to Song Li. Song Xing immediately said that he also wanted to work hard with Song Yue, and they would all go together then.
By the afternoon, the rain gradually stopped and the wind had basically stopped.
With a worried look on her face, Zhang took Song Xing to the field to check on the corn, and left Song Li and Song Yue at home.
Song Li thought about it and told Song Yue to look after the house while she prepared to go to Song Ershun's house.
Song Li stood at the door of Song Ershun's house and knocked. After a while, Xing'er opened the door.
Xing'er looked at Song Li with displeasure and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Song Li knew that Xing'er didn't like her, so she didn't plan to say anything more. She said, "I'm here to see Uncle Changming. Is Uncle Changming home?"
Xing'er said impatiently: "What do you want to see my third brother for? My third brother is not at home." After Xing'er finished speaking, she prepared to close the door.
Song Li used all her strength to push the door open, and then shouted: "Uncle Changming, is Uncle Changming home?"
After hearing this, Xing'er said to Song Li with disdain: "I didn't realize it before. You are such a scoundrel."
Song Li didn't care about Xing'er's sarcasm and continued to call Song Changming.
After a while, Song Changming came out and saw Xing'er and Song Li fighting at the door. Song Changming pulled Xing'er aside and shouted, "Xing'er, what are you doing? Why are you so ignorant?"
Xing Er looked at Song Changming with an aggrieved look on her face and said, "You are biased. I am not your sister, she is."
Song Changming looked at Xing'er helplessly, then asked Song Li: "Xiao Li, what's the matter?"
Song Li asked, "Uncle Changming, our two families live close together. Did you hear any noise last night? I dreamed that my grandparents told me that someone was trying to pry open my door. I didn't believe it at first, but when I got up today, I went to take a look. There were indeed knife scratches on the door bolt, and there was also a long knife in front of my door."
After Song Li finished speaking, she showed Song Changming the specific appearance of the long sword. After listening to it, Song Changming frowned and said, "I was also awakened by thunder yesterday. I did hear someone shouting and running away on the road. Since I was the only man at home, I didn't go out to see."
After hearing this, Song Li stroked his chin and said to Song Changming: "Uncle Changming, this might be that person."
Seeing Song Li looking uneasy, Song Changming said to her hurriedly, "Xiao Li, since he was scared away, he probably won't come back again. From now on, I'll go check it out when I hear any noise."
After hearing this, Song Li hurriedly said to Song Changming: "Thank you so much, Uncle Changming."
After Song Li finished talking to Song Changming, they went home. As she walked, she wondered, what did Wang Juan want to do with Xing'er? Did Xing'er know about what happened last night?
What Song Li said to Song Changming was actually said to Xing'er. She wanted to know whether Xing'er and Wang Juan had formed an alliance?
Song Li felt a headache when she thought about it. She rubbed her head and muttered, "If Xing'er knows about this, let Xing'er tell them. Let the rumor spread and scare them to death."
Here, after Song Li left, Song Changming asked Xing'er: "Xing'er, didn't you and Xiao Li have a good relationship before? What happened to the two of you?"
Xing Er turned her head to the side. She snorted and said, "She and I have a bad relationship. She stabbed me in the back."
After hearing this, Song Changming decided to ask his wife Song Wu when they have time to find out what was going on, as Xing'er had been acting very abnormally recently.
