"You are a woman, what problems can you have?" One of the elder clan uncles couldn't stand it and stood up to scold Song Yutong.
Song Yutong was not annoyed, but expressed her thoughts in front of everyone: "Uncle, Cheng Hui and his family have lived in the stone house left by my father-in-law and mother-in-law for so long, and they will not move out if I ask them to do so.
There is no other place to live.”
"What I want to say is that we can leave the stone house to them. If we go back to the fields, they will pay us another ten taels of silver, and we will sell the stone house to them. Do you think this is okay?"
"You see, our house only has one room and a kitchen. With the ten taels of silver we have paid for it, we can buy some land and build another room so that Xiuwen can have a place to live."
Song Yutong expressed her thoughts, and her uncle and Li Zheng changed their attitude towards her somewhat.
After all, the stone house where Cheng Hui and Cheng Gui lived cost more than 20 taels of silver to build. It was a large place with three rooms, a stove, antechamber, and a woodshed.
Ten taels of silver is really not much.
Song Yutong didn't want that stone house, mainly because she felt uncomfortable with it. In addition, the money she had on hand now was enough to build a better house than that stone house.
"I didn't expect you, a girl, to be quite conscientious, so let's do it like this." The clan uncle breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and handed over the matter to Li Zheng.
Anyway, he has done all the justice that should be done, and there is nothing wrong with him at the moment.
Cheng Gui and Cheng Hui wanted to make trouble again, but before they started making trouble, they were warned by Li Zheng.
"You two should cherish your lives, and you, father and son, choose between going to jail or paying ten taels of silver and returning the land." Li Zheng lost his good temper at this time.
These two people are really disturbing.
With Li Zheng's warning, they did not dare to behave like monsters again, and Cheng Hanyan led Cheng Xiuwen back to Cheng Gui's house to pack his clothes.
Seeing Cheng Xiuwen living in a woodshed without even a decent piece of clothing, I couldn't help but feel sad.
Some time ago, Song Yutong had not changed. He was not living a good life and could not care about Cheng Xiuwen.
But in the past few days, his life has been getting better and better, but he has never thought about whether Cheng Xiuwen is living well or not. In the end, it is because of his incompetence as an elder brother.
"Don't pack it away. We'd rather not have this bit of tattered fabric. You can wear mine first. When your sister-in-law is free, I'll ask her to make two for you."
Cheng Hanyan and Cheng Xiuwen came empty-handed and returned empty-handed.
Song Yutong was not surprised when he saw it. He just called Cheng Hanyan: "There is a soft ruler in the box where the clothes are placed. Please measure Xiuwen. There is still a lot of cloth left for making clothes for the baby. It should be enough for Xiuwen."
Make a dress."
"Tongtong, thank you!" Cheng Hanyan looked at Song Yutong, who was poking bean sprouts with needles that had been roasted over fire, with eyes filled with gratitude.
"Oh, come on, it's so disgusting!" Song Yutong sent him out of the kitchen with a bit of embarrassment.
Looking at the pot of bean sprouts in front of her that she had cut off the heads and tails, she sighed countless times in her heart, and then even took out the second-level menu with silver teeth. She was really convinced.
Song Yutong made three plates of bean sprouts with their hearts stabbed out, and prepared to start eating the meat.
Chop the specially marinated pork into minced pork and stuff it in bit by bit with a needle.
After working hard all afternoon and only finishing half of the plate, Song Yutong sighed and put everything away in the space, waiting to continue tomorrow.
It was already dark, so she had to cook quickly. She made stir-fried vegetables, sweet and sour pork ribs, and tomato and egg soup, and invited the children to eat.
Since the house we live in is not big, the wooden bed inside is only big enough for Hanyan's family of three to sleep.
In order to give Cheng Xiuwen a place to sleep at night, Cheng Hanyan picked up a wooden door and built a single bed for Cheng Xiuwen.
It was just that a few stones were missing from the door planks and the bed was not stable, so Cheng Hanyan went out to look for stones.
"Sister-in-law, let's wait for my brother to come back and eat together." Cheng Xiuwen officially stayed at his eldest brother's house on his first day, and he was not at home, so he felt a little uncomfortable.
"You guys eat first. I left food for your brother. You are growing and you cannot be hungry. Don't eat too much at night. Seventy percent full is enough."
When Song Yutong said this, Cheng Xiuwen didn't dare to eat anymore.
Naituanzi saw that Cheng Xiuwen nodded silently and behaved well, so he immediately jumped out to express himself.
"The baby will not eat too much. The baby remembers what his mother said, eating too much at night will hurt his stomach."
Nai Tuanzi doesn't know what a stomach is, but he knows very well that the stomach is in the stomach.
"Yes, the baby is so good! You can eat well in the morning and noon. If you and your uncle want to eat tomorrow, you can tell me what you think and I will make it for you." Song Yutong touched the soft long part of the milk dumpling.
Fa, I like his young master's dress more and more.
"Can I just eat sweet bean juice made from ground beans and deep-fried dough sticks made from white flour?" Naotuanzi's eyes were bright, revealing a sense of expectation and desire.
Cheng Xiuwen didn't know what these two things were, but when he heard they were sweet and made of white flour, he couldn't help but salivate.
Song Yutong nodded: "Okay, I'll make it for you tomorrow morning."
Anyway, she has to put meat into the bean sprouts all day tomorrow, so she has a lot of time.
Cheng Hanyan quickly found the stone and came back from outside. Song Yutong greeted him. "I'm back. Let's go eat quickly."
"I have something to tell you." Cheng Hanyan grabbed Song Yutong's hand, glanced at the two little children in the room, and led her outside.
"I went to Songjia Village. Many victims who were fleeing the famine united and went to Songjia Village to grab things from house to house."
"Your parents and eldest sister's food has been robbed, and people have been injured..."
Song Yutong felt very anxious and worried after listening to Cheng Hanyan's words. She wished she could break free from his grasp now and go to Songjia Village overnight to have a look.
But Cheng Hanyan held Song Yutong's hand tightly to prevent her from breaking away.
"It's getting dark now, let's send them some food later. Don't take food and vegetables, they won't be able to keep it, and it will cause trouble. This is what your eldest sister and brother-in-law mean."
"Who was injured?" Song Yutong was a little excited.
"In order to protect the two old men and their children, your eldest brother-in-law was chopped down on his arms and legs by a group of villagers. There were also large and small injuries on his body. Your brother-in-law protected him well, and the others were fine. They just failed to keep food."
Cheng Hanyan held the excited Song Yutong in his arms and patted her back to comfort her.
"Then why don't they come to us?" Song Yutong couldn't understand. No matter how much her eldest sister refused to forgive her, in such a situation, for the sake of her parents' face, she should come to them for help!
"Your eldest sister has been here before. She almost had an accident on the way, so no one came."
