Chapter 258 Plan
Chapter 258 Plan
Song Ying was not polite at all, "That's right, we are so considerate. These bracelets and earrings, when worn out, can be melted down and used as silver."
Hearing this, Luo Yanxing felt that he deserved the criticism before. Look at how good Song Ying was at talking. They both could use the money, but Song Ying said it was too old, while he said he was short of money. What a difference!
Song Ying was not so good at speaking before. As expected, he had to stay in the city for a long time. After a long time, he became more clever.
After Zhao Xiaocui tried on the bracelets and earrings one by one, Song Ying took them out to find the person in charge of the gift book to register them.
When she entered the house again, she came close to Xiaoxiang and said, "Xiaoxiang, what have you been busy with recently? Why haven't you been selling herbs for a long time?"
"My family took the herbs to Sanyuan Village to sell them to my cousin's in-laws. My mother was the matchmaker for my cousin's marriage."
Song Ying was a little surprised. "I don't think Sanyuan Village needs many medicinal herbs. How much do you think I'll give you?"
Xiaoxiang lowered her eyes, nodded, and whispered, "It's much lower than the price Doctor Ma offered."
This was the first time Luo Yanxing had heard of this, and he widened his eyes in shock: "So are you still willing to sell it?"
Xiaoxiang didn't say anything.
Song and Luo understood that this was what Zhang insisted on. They looked at each other and saw speechlessness in each other's eyes.
In order to avoid having too much contact with Song Ying, Zhang was actually willing to earn less money and go to Sanyuan Village to sell herbs!
What this person is thinking is really weird.
Just when the two were speechless and didn't know what to say, Xiaoxiang suddenly said, "My brother is also looking for someone, and he has already chosen a candidate, a girl from my third aunt's side.
During the Chinese New Year this year, my parents will take us to visit my third aunt’s house and meet each other. If nothing unexpected happens, we will get married by the end of next year.”
Song Ying was stunned for a moment: "You..."
"Now that my brother is married, my family has fewer areas where we need money."
Song Ying understood what she meant. Now that her brother was married and no longer in urgent need of money, she didn't have to be so afraid of being sold.
The three chatted for a while, and soon someone outside shouted, "The feast is about to begin!"
Then Aunt Meihua came in, "Erni, Song Ying, both of you come out and take your seats."
Song Ying glanced at Zhao Xiaocui: "Where's Sister Xiaocui? Is she coming too?"
"Don't worry about her. She's a bride and she still has to cry about her marriage. I'll bring her a bowl of rice when I have time."
Song Ying frowned: "Then Sister Xiao Cui will have no one to accompany her, right?"
Aunt Meihua reached out and pulled her, "It's okay, Xiaoxiang is with her."
Song Ying wanted to say that Xiaoxiang was hungry, but Xiaoxiang had already spoken: "You guys go eat quickly, I will eat with my cousin later."
Song Ying had no choice but to go out with everyone.
After the meal, they stayed with Zhao Xiaocui until midnight when two or three rounds were finished and the people who helped washed the pots and dishes before leaving.
Song Ying originally wanted to spend a night in the ancestral home that she was allocated. Perhaps it was because of the piece of pork she brought back, or perhaps she was worried about being accused of mistreating her granddaughter, so Li asked her to go back to the Song family together.
Song Ying didn't want to be cold all night, so he decisively followed Uncle Song to his house.
While waiting for the water to boil to wash her feet, Li asked, "I heard that you added makeup and bracelets and earrings. How much did it cost?"
"The eight of us pooled our money together, but each of us got only a small amount."
Song Ying was reluctant to give the exact amount, which was already very tactful. Unexpectedly, Li was very angry and slapped her in the face: "You damned woman, you didn't tell the truth to me. I raised you in vain. You are very generous to outsiders, but you are stingy with the people in your own house."
Song Ying looked at the pork on the table which had not been put away yet and rolled his eyes speechlessly. Here he goes again.
Sure enough, no matter how many things he bought for Li, as long as there was something that didn't suit her taste, he would think she was ungrateful and unfilial.
She could only comfort herself secretly. After all, this was to buy reputation with outsiders. No matter what Mrs. Li thought, in the eyes of outsiders, she was showing filial piety by often buying things for the family.
"Sister Xiao Cui is getting married, this is the only time in her life, and no one in our family is getting married, so how can I be generous? When Song Tian and Song Yuan get married, I will buy a bracelet for each of their wives, okay?"
Li was furious, "You can't tell the difference between inside and outside. Your daughter-in-law is also an outsider."
So the real intention was to buy it for them. Song Ying sneered: "You and Second Aunt both married into the Song family, so are you considered outsiders?"
"You fairy boss, I'm an outsider, who are you?" Li was so angry that she raised her hand to hit her again. But with the previous move, Song Ying was prepared, so she ran away as soon as she raised her hand.
Li, who didn't hit him, became even angrier, "You're getting more and more powerful day by day..."
"I've grown wings a long time ago." Song Ying retorted.
"Song Ying, why are you arguing with your grandma so late at night?" Uncle Song came out of the cowshed after checking on the cows. Seeing the quarrel between the grandmother and granddaughter, he quickly stopped Song Ying and said, "Hurry up and apologize to your grandma."
Song Ying rolled her eyes and said, "I apologized for what I did wrong. She was the one who said that all her daughters-in-law are outsiders."
"You're still talking!" Uncle Song glared at her again, "Your grandma is so old, she sometimes gets confused, what's wrong with you giving in to her?"
Song Ying was so angry that he didn't want to talk.
Perhaps because Second Uncle Song was helping to speak up, or perhaps because she was really being unreasonable, Li calmed down for a while and was no longer so angry. She then asked, "I heard that many shopkeepers in the city come to you for acupuncture?"
Song Ying was surprised why she asked this suddenly, but nodded, "Most of them are small vendors, standing all day, and their muscles are strained."
"Then find an apprentice job for your brother in the city, preferably in the accounting department."
Song Yuan was studying in the community school, so this brother naturally referred to Song Tian. When Song Ying first heard this, she thought that Luo Yanxing and the others had told Li that the owner of Yulingxuan had invited her to work in the accounting office.
On second thought, everyone only found out today that they had prepared additional makeup for Zhao Xiaocui, and Luo Yanxing and the others must have said nothing.
So he simply thought that she knew a lot of shop owners in the city, and wanted to use her connections to find an apprentice job for Song Tian.
Song Ying rolled his eyes speechlessly and pointed at Song Tiandao: "With his irresponsible personality, which employer would dare to hire him to learn to be an accountant?"
Li glared angrily again: "He is your brother, how can you despise him so much?"
"I'm not disgusted, I'm just telling the truth. A cow can eat up someone's crops. If you make a lot of losses as an accountant, will you pay for it?"
"He used to be young, but he got older and older and became more serious about his work."
Song Ying didn't believe a word of it. It is said that a child's character can be seen at the age of three. With Song Tian's personality, she didn't dare to find a job for him. If something went wrong, he might ask her for compensation.
She glanced at Li, Uncle Song, and Yang who had come out of the kitchen at some point. It was obvious that this was not Li's sudden idea, but the family had planned it long ago.
