Chapter 379: Inside and Outside (Part )
Li was choked again. After a while, she finally gave up the matter of selling pancreas and said, "I don't want to tell you that you are a short-lived kid who keeps telling lies every day. I asked you to find a job for your brother, but you refused. But in just two days, you found a job for your second aunt. Who is closer to you, your brother or your second aunt?"
Song Ying said without hesitation: "I am definitely closer to my second aunt. She fed me for nearly a year. Second aunt fed me for a month, and I still remember her kindness. Second aunt fed me for almost a year, and I must remember this kindness!"
Mrs. Li was so angry that she was shaking. "If I say one thing, you have to say ten things back! Okay, go get close to your second aunt! If you get bullied by your in-laws in the future, don't come back to ask your brother to back you up!"
"Second aunt has listened to you since she was young. She always thinks of her brother. After being beaten by Li Wu, she came back to her parents' home. Why didn't Second Uncle go to support her? Rely on Song Tian to support me?" Song Ying smiled speechlessly, "Forget it, forget it. I'm afraid he will ask me to endure it. I might as well rely on Yan Xing. Yan Xing is better at fighting than him!"
"You really don't want to listen to me, do you?" Li gave up trying to persuade him with words, picked up a rattle stick and chased after Song Ying to beat him.
Song Ying was no longer the timid orphan girl she used to be. Naturally, she would not stand there and let her be hit. She ran around the yard and Li's stick didn't hit her at all.
Seeing that the grandmother and grandson were at loggerheads and it was impossible to talk to each other properly, Yang was worried about her son's future, so she quickly said, "Mother, Yingwa has finally come back, and we have to have dinner first before we talk. Today, our family will have a happy reunion dinner."
Her emphasis fell on the family.
Song Ying secretly curled his lips. In the end, he had to take this step, otherwise it would have been endless.
Yang said again: "Your grandmother didn't mean that. Last time, didn't you say that you wanted Tianwa to learn how to cook banquets? We discussed it later and this suggestion is indeed a good one. Tianwa has loved food since he was a child. If he really learns the skill, even if he has no future, he can still have a good meal when he cooks for others and won't starve to death.
However, weddings and funerals usually happen more often at the end of the year, and no matter how good the banquet is, you can't make much money in such a short time. Yingwa, if you are in the city, can you ask your brother if there are any restaurants that need apprentices?"
Ordinary restaurants and eateries are all opened by merchants themselves, so it is impossible for them to hire any chefs. In the past, there was only one restaurant in the city, Tianxianglou. Although Yang was talking about restaurants and eateries, and looked like she was not picky, she was actually targeting the chef of Tianxianglou.
Song Ying thought of the newly opened Ruyi Building on Renhe Street. It had just opened and might be in need of manpower, so he nodded and said, "I'll ask later."
"Okay, okay." Yang smiled happily.
Li's expression also relaxed.
Song Ying quickly added, "I'm just asking, I can't guarantee it."
Li and Yang's expressions froze, and then Yang forced a smile and said, "Okay. Let's not talk about this for now. Second Aunt, go cook. Mother, let's eat this fresh meat today."
Li thought for a moment and agreed. Yang then took the meat from Song Ying and went to the kitchen.
Song Ying was too lazy to stay in the yard with Li to avoid another quarrel, so he simply went to the kitchen to help Yang light the fire.
After a while, Yang's voice came from the kitchen, "Hey, get out quickly. There's a lot of dust in the kitchen. Don't let your clothes get dirty."
It seemed like Song Ying was being treated as a guest and given serious attention.
Then it was Song Ying's, "It's okay, just wash it if it gets dirty."
The Song family was temporarily calm, but Luo Yanxing's family in the east of the village was still uneasy.
Luo Yanxing's mother, Wang, was standing with her hands on her hips, cursing: "Every day you can't tell the difference between relatives and strangers. Your shop has not even been occupied by your own family, but you let Song Ying and her second aunt move in. I really raised you in vain!"
Wang has repeated this countless times since the shop was bought. Luo Yanxing's ears are almost callused from hearing it. He responded calmly, "One should be conscientious. Without Song Ying teaching me how to make pancreas, how could I have opened the shop?
Besides, the shop is not mine alone, Brother Lin also owns it, and he paid the most. I can't do that if he doesn't live there and doesn't allow my junior sister to live there!"
"What junior sister? We are just two strangers, but you make her sound so important." Wang was angry, and felt that Luo Yanxing didn't even find a decent excuse to deceive her.
"What stranger? Song Ying is the legitimate disciple of Brother Lin's aunt, the kind who inherited his legacy. Do you think he is the kind of apprentice who pays a few years of money to learn from her?
She is a formal disciple, just like a biological daughter. Didn't you see how the mother Wu of the He family treated Song Ying today? Most of the reasons are because of Song Ying, your master.
Do you know why Song Ying is no longer working in Shen Mansion, but can still live there? It is because of this. "
A series of facts made Wang Shi waver, "Is that so?"
Luo Yanxing was annoyed, "If you think I'm lying to you, go to the Shen Mansion and ask yourself."
How could Wang dare to do that? She seldom went to East Street. She felt nervous when passing by the doors of those wealthy families, fearing that they would chase her away. How could she dare to talk to those wealthy people?
She held it in for a while, then continued, "It's fine if she lives here, but why did she bring her second aunt with her? This is like staying at a relative's house. Not only does she live here by herself, but she also brings her other relatives with her. How can this be justified!"
"Song Ergu specially moved there for the two of us, or for Song Ying. Otherwise, why would she leave Yunxiu Tower alone and travel across half the city to work every day?"
"It will be the same if I go. What can I ask her to do? Her husband is a scoundrel. Don't let him bring bad reputation to you." Wang became more and more angry as she listened. It was her daughter's house, and she let Song Erni live in it for free, and she even owed her a favor. How could this be justified?
"Li Wu is in Guoxiang and doesn't live in our shop. How can he bring bad reputation to me? Besides, if you go," Luo Yanxing stared into her eyes, "where will my future brother come from? Do you want Dad to have a child with someone else?"
"What nonsense!" Wang was touched. She quickly glanced at her husband who was not far away, and then glared at her daughter, fearing that her husband would have some evil thoughts after hearing what she said.
Luo Yanxing spread his hands, "Then it's settled. Since you can't go, we can only trouble Second Aunt Song."
Wang was unwilling to give up. After thinking for a while, she said, "Song Ying is living well in Shen's house. Why should she move out? She doesn't have to spend money on food inside. What a good thing."
Luo Yanxing knew her own mother well. She could tell at a glance that she wanted to drive Song Ying out and then move in with her father.
