Chapter 54: How Would I Bear to Hit You?
Song Chu remembered that Song Da Sao’s family was very extreme. When they could take advantage of you, they would praise you to the skies. When they couldn’t, they would immediately turn their backs, making all kinds of sarcastic remarks behind your back.
After Luo Qiuju married into the Song family and gave birth to a son, she felt emboldened and often secretly saved things to send back to her family. Naturally, she would receive all kinds of praise and brainwashing from them.
This time, she brought things back with her, so at first, they would definitely treat her very well.
But after a while, that family would definitely not be able to stand having another person eating for free, and they would soon start giving her the cold shoulder. This contrast would also remind her of the days before she got married.
Song Chu said to her mother, “Anyway, if she doesn’t come back on her own, Big Brother shouldn’t go and get her. Then she can experience her family’s change of attitude.”
When she said this, Tang Feng immediately understood, her eyes full of admiration. “My Yaobao is still the smartest. She’s just been living too comfortably since she married into our family, that’s why she’s acting up like this.”
Back then, she didn’t know what kind of spell Luo Qiuju had cast on her eldest son. He was always pestering her to marry her, otherwise, she wouldn’t have even considered her.
When Luo Qiuju first married into the family, she was sallow and thin. Now she had gained a lot of weight, forgetting what kind of life she had in her family. She thought she was so smart, but in fact, she was just a brainless fool.
Tang Feng said to the two people pulling the bundle, “Go, go, Lao Da, hurry up and send her away. I’m annoyed just looking at her.”
Hearing Tang Feng’s words, Song Da Sao actually breathed a sigh of relief.
She had taken a lot of things she had saved up recently in her bundle, and she had also secretly taken some oil and sugar. She was afraid that her mother-in-law would search her bundle.
“Then, Mother, we’re leaving.” Song Lao Da had already asked his eldest maternal uncle for leave this morning.
Song Da Sao didn’t greet Tang Feng and Song Chu, turned around and left with her bundle, and also took her son with her.
“Are you taking Erwa with you?” Tang Feng frowned.
Song Da Sao turned around like a fighting rooster. “What, you’re sending me back to my family, and I can’t even take my son with me?”
In her heart, she had given birth to the only grandson of the old Song family, so she was a meritorious official of the old Song family.
Taking her son to her family was naturally to put on airs, so that the Song family would beg her to come back.
Tang Feng could see through her thoughts. She waved her hand indifferently. “If you want to take him, take him. Just don’t come back crying.”
The reason she liked her daughter so much was naturally that she didn’t favor boys over girls. Besides, it wasn’t her who gave birth to her grandson and granddaughter. They had their own parents, so she didn’t care what they did.
She only cared about the ones she gave birth to.
Song Da Sao’s face darkened. She snorted, pulled her son, and dragged Song Lao Da out the door.
“Pfft, as if she gave birth to a golden egg, and I care so much.” Tang Feng rolled her eyes.
Song Youfu was more concerned about his grandson. “Isn’t it inappropriate for her to take Erwa with her?”
Which daughter-in-law, when sent back to her family to reflect, would take her son with her?
Song Erwa was their old Song family’s grandson. What was the point of him staying with the Luo family?
Tang Feng glared at him. “She gave birth to the child, why do you care so much? She’s only acting so arrogant because of this. Don’t indulge her.”
Besides, if they insisted on keeping Song Erwa, Luo Qiuju would definitely not agree, and she would become even more arrogant and put on more airs.
Song Youfu was speechless. He couldn’t win an argument against his wife. “I’m going to work.”
Seeing her father’s instant defeat, Song Chu couldn’t help but laugh.
“Mom, I’m going to the mountain too. We’re out of meat at home, so I’ll go hunt some.”
Tang Feng nodded. “Go ahead, be careful on the mountain.”
Song Chu continued to go up the mountain with the nine people.
More and more oil tea fruits were ripening, and they picked more and more each time they went up the mountain.
While the others were picking fruits, she still wandered around nearby, taking her bow and arrow to hunt some meat to improve their lives.
Today’s luck was good. She shot a few pheasants and rabbits, gave three pheasants to the nine people to share, and carried the rest home.
Song Lao Er saw his sister take out four pheasants and three rabbits from her back basket, and his smile deepened.
“Meier, your hunting skills are getting better and better.” He came over to flatter her.
◈◈◈
Song Chu ignored him, threw a pheasant and a rabbit to him. “Make the pheasant into chestnut stewed chicken, and take the rabbit to Old Zhao to see how to cook it best. Then leave a bowl of each for them.”
“The rest for us to eat tomorrow?” Song Lao Er asked with a grin.
Song Chu gave him a dirty look. “You wish. I’m sending the rest to San Ge’s family tomorrow.”
Tomorrow she was going to the county town with Gu Yue, so she would take some meat to San Ge’s family.
She also had to send one each to Director Zhang and Director Shi to maintain the relationship.
Song Lao Er felt a pang of pain when he heard this. “Why send so much? Can they finish it?”
“If they can’t finish it, they can give it to others. We still owe Guo’s Second Eldest Brother a favor for helping us get the oil press.”
Song Chu reached out and pinched him. “Can you change your stingy habit? It’s not like the family is lacking your food and drink. Don’t act like you’ve never seen the world.”
“Ouch!” Song Lao Er jumped up from her pinch. “Meier, why are you learning from Mom and starting to pinch people?”
His sister’s strength was much greater than his mother’s. It hurt like h*ll.
“You deserve it.” Song Chu gave him a dirty look.
“Alright, alright, I can’t afford to offend you, so I’ll just avoid you.” Song Lao Er rubbed his arm, threw the chicken and rabbit into the basket with chestnuts, and ran off.
Song Daniu and Song Sanniu watched from a distance and couldn’t help but laugh. Second Uncle/Her father deserved it.
The next day, Song Chu borrowed her eldest maternal uncle’s bicycle and went to the county town with Gu Yue.
Song Chu had divided the meat into two baskets, one of which was placed in the gatehouse along with the bicycle.
Then she carried the other one and went upstairs with Gu Yue to find people.
First, they went to Director Shi’s office and gave him a rabbit, explaining their intentions.
Director Shi was very happy and felt that Comrade Song Chu was very capable. Seeing that Educated Youth Gu was very handsome and his temperament was not like that of an ordinary person, he paid more attention to them.
“Wait here, I’ll go call Director Zhang over.”
“Okay, thank you, Director Shi.” Song Chu didn’t know which office Director Zhang was in, so she came here first.
After Director Shi left, Gu Yue looked at the basket and smiled. “You’re quite resourceful.”
Before coming, he saw two baskets hanging on the bicycle, but he didn’t know what was inside.
Song Chu smiled. “Of course. If I weren’t resourceful, how could I have gotten things, and how could I have gotten them to help produce the chick incubator?”
“I call this investing.”
Gu Yue chuckled. “Look at you showing off.”
He didn’t know why, but every time Song Chu showed off in front of him, he found it strangely cute.
“What, you have a problem with that?” Song Chu raised an eyebrow at him.
“How would I dare to have a problem with that? What if you hit me?” Gu Yue said jokingly, which was rare for him.
Song Chu raised her eyebrows again and smiled meaningfully. “How would I bear to hit you? You’re our technician. If I beat you down, who will help me with the machines?”
She was telling the truth, but it sounded a bit ambiguous.
“…” Gu Yue looked away unnaturally.
