Chapter 79 She Wants to Watch the Villagers Starve to Death
Seeing that your father and son were stuck here, Song Yutong was very impatient and opened his mouth to start a fight.
"Since you said it doesn't matter whether you have eaten or not, since Cheng Xiuwen is afraid of starving, it's better to let Cheng Xiuwen come back and be raised by us. We don't mind that Xiuwen eats too much."
"When you occupied the fields and houses of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, you promised to raise Xiu Wen. But as far as I know, my husband gave you money and five pounds of game every month."
"We put Xiuwen in someone else's care and gave him money and game. Not only can Xiuwen be fat and healthy, he can also be well-dressed. Other people will not covet my father-in-law's property and fields."
"So uncle, how do you have the nerve to come here and tell me that you eat all the food closely to Xiu Wen?"
Song Yutong exposed Cheng Gui's lies without any politeness at all.
I really didn't save any face for my elders.
Cheng Gui was also the first to watch. He never thought that the poisonous woman would become so sharp-tongued.
"What do you mean? We just came to borrow some food from you. After all, I am also Cheng Hanyan's uncle and your elder. Do you talk to your elders like this?"
"When you bought more than a dozen bags of grain, did you already know that there was going to be a drought? Even though you knew there was going to be a drought, you didn't tell the folks to prepare more grain. Why are you so vicious?"
Cheng Gui changed the topic very cleverly, and then made a comment.
He spread his personal flames of war to the villagers, causing all the villagers to blame Song Yutong for being vicious and selfish.
Obviously, looking at the villagers pointing fingers at Song Yutong, we knew that Chenggui's goal had been achieved.
"Yes, your family has so much food stored up, but you don't even want to tell us to prepare more food. You just want to watch us all die!"
There were always a few troublemakers in the crowd who fanned the flames, and all the fire was focused on Song Yutong.
They all blamed her for not reminding the villagers to prepare rice in advance.
Song Yutong frowned and looked at the people who said bad things about her, but she didn't feel guilty at all.
"Yes, I didn't remind you to prepare more food. What about the vegetable seeds I gave you and the vegetable seedlings I helped you save? It's going to be a good harvest soon. Isn't that what I gave you? You gave it to me.
A penny?"
"If I really wanted to see you starve to death, why would I let you grow these vegetables? I would put down what I was doing and go door to door to help you save the vegetable seedlings. I don't care about your life or death at all. I will give it to anyone who treats me well.
, at least I must be able to gain people's gratitude, and I won't be beaten down by you."
Song Yutong looked at those people with indifferent emotions in their eyes.
She already knew who she could get along with and who she couldn't get along with, so there was no need to have any expectations for these rabble.
"You have nothing to do? Why are you gathering here again?" The village chief's daughter-in-law came over with an empty basket in her hand.
Aunt Li stood aside and chatted and laughed with her. It seemed that the two of them had returned from going out together.
When the two were at the entrance of the village, they heard someone in the village discussing that Chenggui had come to Song Yutong's house to borrow food.
What the group of people said just now also fell into the ears of the two of them.
"Sister Song! If you have good things in the future, don't take the folks with you. Keep it yourself, so as not to give it to a bunch of white-eyed wolves who will come back to bite you when they are favored by others." Aunt Li said in a sinister tone, her eyes sweeping over the group of people.
.
The village chief's daughter-in-law also sang along and said, "Yes, there are so many villages where the vegetables in the fields have not been sunburned to death. I don't know the blessings when I am in the midst of blessings. I really don't know what is good or bad."
"Song Yutong bought the rice and grain for her eldest sister. Don't tell me that you don't know. How many people were watching at the entrance of the village as people took bullock carts to deliver the grain to her eldest sister's house? There was a riot in Xiaohe Village more than a month ago.
When there is a famine, how can it be that the eldest sister asks the younger sister to buy some food to harm you?"
The village chief's daughter-in-law stood up and helped Song Yutong speak.
It is true that many people knew that Song Yutong had bought a lot of grain and deliberately waited at the entrance of the village to watch her give the grain away.
The people watching the show knew to some extent that they were in the wrong, and one or two stood up to defend themselves.
"I just came to watch a show, but I didn't say anything! Sister Song is such a good person, why would I say anything about her?"
If there is one, there are two. If one person stands up, the others will follow suit.
In the end, it seemed that no one had ever said anything bad about Song Yutong. Those vicious remarks about her seemed to appear out of thin air and were haunted.
Cheng Hanyan looked at the farce in front of him and felt it was extremely ironic. He glanced gratefully at the village chief's daughter-in-law who was helping Song Yutong speak.
"Uncle, please go back! We don't have food either. If you don't believe me, I can take you to the kitchen to have a look. If you think it's too much trouble to do some writing, just send him here, and my husband and I will take care of him from now on."
Cheng Hanyan stood in front of Song Yutong and pulled her behind him, not wanting her to suffer such slander and grievance again.
Song Yutong lowered his head and glanced at Cheng Hanyan holding her hand, with a slight smile on his lips.
She poked her head out from behind Cheng Hanyan and looked at the village chief's daughter-in-law.
"Sister Liu, please go help and invite Li Zheng over." The village chief's daughter-in-law is called Liu Xiaoya, and Song Yutong likes to call her Sister Liu the most.
Liu Xiaoya nodded and hurried towards Li Zheng's house.
"Uncle, we can't lend you food, but we can take Xiuwen over and raise it ourselves. As for the house and fields left by my father-in-law and mother-in-law, you should return them to us."
"In terms of credit and hard work, the silver and game my husband gives you every month are enough to support your family. But you don't let Xiuwen eat well, and you even often beat and scold him. You really don't want this house and fields.
So that we can occupy it again."
After Song Yutong said this, she hid behind Cheng Hanyan, not because she did not dare to face Cheng Guifu and his son, but to satisfy Cheng Hanyan's desire to protect her.
"You! Song Yutong, Song Yutong, you are really good at planning! Cheng Xiuwen and Cheng Hanyan were both raised by me, and they only had a few months of money and game. You want me to raise them for so long in vain?
, take everything back? You think so!"
Cheng Gui was so angry that he lowered his head and picked up sticks on both sides to hit Song Yutong.
"When my father-in-law and mother-in-law left, my husband had already started hunting to earn money. In addition, the thirty taels of silver that my father-in-law and mother-in-law left for my husband and my brother-in-law to marry a wife, you said to help keep it."
"But when my husband married me, he used the money he earned from hunting. Not only did you not give him the money you helped keep, you also took the money he earned every time he went hunting, saying it was for you.
