A car accident, our family of three crossed

Hang Shuheng slowly picked up a bowl of water on the table and threw it to the ground gracefully.

It broke with a loud bang at the feet of Hang's mother, shocking her into speechlessness. Even Song Ning and her son were startled.

"Sorry, my hand slipped."

He twisted his wrist nonchalantly, took another bowl and poured water into it, placed it in front of his son, and smiled softly, "The biscuits are too dry, drink some water."

After a few breaths, Mother Hang's eyes flickered slightly, still somewhat frightened.

"Well... I, I haven't finished picking the beans yet..." Not caring about a broken bowl, she walked out of the main room pretending to be calm, but in fact, she looked like she was running away.

Song Ning glared at him unhappily, but said nothing. He just focused on his son and fed the remaining porridge in the bowl to his mouth.

Yangyang looked at the porridge left at the bottom of the bowl, shook his head, and whispered, "Yangyang is full, Daddy hasn't eaten yet! Leave it for Daddy!"

He put the remaining half of the pancake in his hand to Hang Shuheng's mouth.

"Daddy, you eat!"

Hang Shuheng only felt sour, swollen and warm in his heart.

Half a pancake represents the child’s full love, how could he dare to refuse?

"Okay, thank you Yangyang!"

He opened his mouth and took the biscuit directly from Yangyang's hand, making Yangyang chuckle: "Haha! Daddy's mouth is so big!"

Song Ning couldn't help laughing, and gently touched his head, and brought the remaining porridge in his hand to Hang Shuheng.

Hang Shuheng wanted to use his old trick again and opened his mouth waiting to be fed, but she glared at him, so he had to take the bowl with a smile.

She withdrew her hand, thinking about the reason why the original owner's family of three drowned, so she asked her son: "Yangyang, do you remember why you fell into the river yesterday?"

Yangyang died in a car accident in his previous life. He was five years old when he passed away, but this child is only three years old. The memories of the two lives are mixed together, which is quite confusing for a child.

He looked up and thought about it carefully, feeling a little distressed, and shook his head uncertainly, "I don't know! I don't remember how I fell into the river."

Hang Shuheng finished the porridge in the bowl in two or three mouthfuls, touched his head and comforted him: "It's okay! If you don't remember, then forget it. There are so many friends playing together! They must know, let's go ask the friends later, okay?"

Yang Yang nodded heavily upon hearing this: "Yes!"

-

In the yard, Hang's mother had a dull expression on her face, picking beans intermittently with her hands. Zhang Cuiju called her several times but she didn't respond.

"Aunt, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that she didn't respond, Zhang Cuiju patted her.

Mother Hang was frightened by her slap. She twisted her arm with her backhand and screamed at the top of her lungs: "Ouch! Are you going to die? You're screaming, screaming, screaming for your soul!"

Zhang Cuiju gasped in pain, a hint of resentment flashed across her eyes, but she looked aggrieved. She said timidly, "I saw you sitting there in a daze. I called you a few times but you didn't respond..."

She felt resentful in her heart, but could not show it. If it was not for the possibility of marrying into the Hang family in the future, she would not have to be so humble in front of this old woman.

Zhang Cuiju was quite pretty. Her parents married her to a butcher in the town as his second wife a few years ago and she gave birth to a daughter.

They had no worries about food and clothing, but the man was addicted to alcohol. Once he got drunk, he would beat or scold them.

Years ago, the butcher got drunk and fell into the river and drowned, so his stepson drove the mother and daughter out.

With no other options left, she took her daughter to her mother's home in the countryside.

This time, he learned from his parents that his aunt's cousin had passed the imperial examination and was admitted as a student. He also heard that his aunt was very dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law.

After the family discussed it, they thought about sending her to her cousin as a concubine, so Zhang Cuiju's parents went to discuss it with Hang's mother.

Although Hang's mother disliked Zhang Cuiju because she was a widow, she agreed to let her live in the Hang family first. If she could squeeze Song Ning out, she wouldn't mind giving her a concubine.

Very easily, Zhang Cuiju and her daughter were brought back to the Hang family by Hang's mother. After seeing the handsome Hang Shuheng, she became more determined to marry him.

It was a pity that Hang Shuheng always treated her with a cold and distant attitude. She watched how considerately Hang Shuheng treated Song Ning every day, and she was jealous and crazy, wishing she could replace him...

As her mind was churning, Hang Shuheng's family of three appeared in her sight. She hurried forward and shouted, "Cousin! Are you feeling better?"

The soft and gentle voice gave Hang Shuheng goose bumps. He turned around and met Song Ning's teasing eyes. He looked innocent.

Hang Shuheng maintained the original owner's distant attitude towards Zhang Cuiju and nodded expressionlessly in response.

Song Ning smiled and took over the conversation: "Thank you for your concern, cousin. Our family is doing well now. Thank you!"

She paused after she finished speaking, and then continued, "I've been busy these past two days, and I'm really sorry that I've caused my cousin to help with the work!"

Zhang Cuiju didn't expect that Song Ning, who always ignored her, would take the initiative to talk to her today. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't be so polite, cousin-in-law. It's my duty to help the family with some things."

Song Ning disagreed, "How can this be done? My cousin is a guest after all. It is not reasonable to ask a guest to help with household chores. If this gets out, people will say that I, as the host, am ignorant of etiquette."

Zhang Cuiju was stunned and the smile on her face froze. She looked up at Song Ning and saw that she had a smile on her face. She looked harmless, but there was something sinister in her words.

I have underestimated her in the past. Thinking of this, Zhang Cuiju lowered her eyes, and the unwillingness in her eyes flashed away, but she agreed, "Yes, my cousin is still thoughtful."

Zhang Cuiju's unwillingness did not escape Song Ning's eyes.

She sneered in her heart and raised her head slightly. She was not willing to compete with him. That would make her seem jealous, which was ridiculous.

Little did he know that Hang Shuheng loved her arrogant look so much that he wanted to hold her in his arms and love her well, but he didn't dare...

She has resentment in her heart, which has not dissipated from her previous life to this life. If you annoy her again, it will be difficult to appease her!

He touched his nose, concealing his inner thoughts, and changed the subject, "Yesterday's incident was all thanks to the villagers' rescue. We must find some time to visit them and express our gratitude."

"It's my duty!" Song Ning nodded in agreement.

Mother Hang opened her mouth but didn't say anything. Song Ning said, "Besides that, we need to find out why Yangyang fell into the water."

"Hmph! You still have the nerve to talk like that? It's all your fault. You can't even take care of a child." This time, Hang's mother couldn't help it anymore. She kept chattering whenever she got the topic started.

"Yes, it's my fault." Song Ning was not angry. She could not refute this point. When a child has an accident, the adults definitely have a great responsibility.

She turned to Hang Shuheng and said, "We can't thank our benefactor empty-handed. Let's go to the butcher's house at the east end of the village and buy some meat tomorrow morning."

Before Hang Shuheng could agree, his mother started yelling in a sharp voice.

"What? Buy some meat? Do you think buying meat doesn't cost money? Just go to the vegetable garden and pick some vegetables and send them over." The voice was so sharp and piercing that it made people's eardrums numb.

Song Ning rubbed his cochlear implant and really didn't want to pay attention to her.

"Since we are thanking someone, we can't be too shabby. We can't let people think we are ungrateful! My husband is a scholar, and we can't ruin his reputation."

This statement actually frightened Hang's mother.

What scholars care about most is reputation. If they have a bad reputation, it will affect their studies.

She was still hoping that her son would become a high-ranking official, dreaming of being the wife of an official, so she naturally couldn't let her son's reputation be ruined...

She stopped talking about buying meat and pointed at Song Ning's nose, scolding her bitterly, "You, you spendthrift woman, you're going to ruin our Hang family."

Song Ning hated it most when someone pointed at her nose, and Hang Shuheng was the same. He saw that she was enduring it, and if it weren't for her current inconvenience, he believed that she would have broken off the other person's fingers without hesitation.

He frowned and slowly pulled Song Ning to his side. He looked at Mother Hang coldly, then looked at her fingers that had not been retracted. "A few pieces of meat. The old Hang family can still afford it."

Hang's mother withdrew her hand angrily, pursed her lips, and finally said nothing more.

It’s coming again... that feeling from before is coming again... why is she so panicked!

A sense of panic arose in her heart, and she felt that her son seemed to have changed, but also seemed to have not changed.

The person is still the same person, and he still looks so gentle, but when you look into his eyes, you feel oppressed.

While Hang's mother was still feeling uneasy, someone's voice was heard outside the gate, breaking the eerie atmosphere in the yard.
