When the pears are green

Song Li ignored Xing'er and closed the door. Xing'er was so angry that she stamped her feet. She slammed the door and said loudly: "Song Li, I didn't realize you were so stingy before!"

Song Li was delighted when she heard this. She said, "Aren't you stingy with me? Why do you ask me to be generous? I don't owe you anything. Xing'er, don't think you understand me. There are many things you haven't discovered! Go back. There's nothing to say between you and me."

After hearing this, Xing'er said angrily, "Song Li, I guess you also heard that Wang Juan came to see me. Aren't you curious about what she said to me?"

Song Li opened the door a little, and through the crack she said to Xing'er who was pretending to be mysterious outside, "Of course I'm not curious. You two are together to say bad things about me and find ways to get back at me. Are you praising me together? You have come up with a way to lure me out and ruin my reputation."

After hearing this, Xing'er kept twisting her clothes with her fingers.

After seeing this, Song Li said to Xing'er, "Xing'er, you become like this when you panic."

After hearing this, Xing Er said in panic, "Song Li, I didn't want to do this either. I was just angry that you stopped Wu Mingde and me from dating. I just really wanted to marry him."

Song Li sighed, and she said to Xing'er, "Xing'er, how long have I known Wu Mingde? Will he listen to me? If he has you in his heart, he won't do it no matter how hard I try. He doesn't have you in his heart. He is older than me. If he wants to marry you, why doesn't he get engaged to you?"

After hearing Song Li's words, Xing'er became even more listless. How could she not have thought of it? She just didn't want to admit it.

Song Li paused, then said to Xing'er, "Xing'er, think about whether your family background is worthy of the Wu family? In the past six months, have you worked hard to marry Wu Mingde?"

Xing'er was stunned after hearing this. She stared at Song Li blankly, not knowing what to say.

Song Li sighed and continued, "Wu Mingde will take part in the college entrance examination next year. I heard from Master Li that their teacher is still very optimistic about Wu Mingde. A scholar's wife can be illiterate, but she must know etiquette, know how to treat people, and know how to help her husband go further, instead of being unreasonable and unreasonable. The Wu family values ​​Wu Mingde very much. Do you think that just by being lively and cute, you can satisfy his parents?"

Xing'er watched Song Li's mouth opening and closing, and she said many words that left her at a loss.

Xing Er said aggrievedly: "I also want to work hard, but my family has no knowledge, how can I work hard?"

After listening to Xing'er's words, Song Li touched her forehead and said, "So, Xing'er, you and Wu Mingde are destined not to be together. Go back, I don't want to say anything more to you, and I don't want to know how Wang Juan asked you to deceive me."

After Song Li finished speaking, she closed the door and ignored Xing'er no matter how she knocked on the door.

Song Changming stood at the door of his house, watching Xing'er's actions. When he said at dinner yesterday that the head of the village had personally gone to Song Li's house, everyone was relieved for Song Li's family. After all, they were relatives, and everyone was worried when something like this happened. However, Xing'er was so angry that she smashed the bowl. Although Xing'er later said that she was careless, Song Changming didn't believe her.

Song Changming vaguely felt that the conflict between Xing'er and Song Li should be related to someone they both knew.

Song Changming couldn't help but think of Wu Mingxuan and Wu Mingde, whom he and Xing'er met by chance last winter.

Wu Mingxuan is already married and they don't live in the village anymore. I heard that the village head sponsored Wu Mingxuan to open a shop in the county town, and the business is good. He usually only comes back during festivals.

Could it be Wu Mingde? Wu Mingde was also studying in the county town and didn't come back often, so Xing'er had never been alone with him. Song Changming thought again that after meeting Wu Mingxuan and Wu Mingde, Xing'er went out almost every day, saying that she was going to play with Song Li and Song Yue.

Everyone in the village knew that the head wanted to find a girl from a good family for Wu Mingde. Because they were afraid of the head's anger, they would not let their girls have anything to do with Wu Mingde.

When Song Changming saw Xing'er walking slowly home, he went back to the house. He sat on a stool and said to his wife Song Wu: "Little girl, come with me to Brother Changhe's house later."

Song Wu looked at Song Changming strangely, then nodded in agreement.

When Song Changming knocked on the door, Song Li was sitting in the yard embroidering a handkerchief.

After Song Li opened the door, she quickly let Song Changming and Song Wu in. Song Wu held her waist and said to Song Li, "Xiao Li, your uncle and I came here this time because we have something to ask you."

Song Li hurriedly asked Song Wu to sit down and said to her, "Aunt, Uncle Changming, please tell me what I know."

Mrs. Song Wu looked at Song Changming and said, "Xiao Li, I just want to ask you, are Xing'er and Wu Mingde having an affair?"

After Song Wu finished speaking, her face turned red. As a sister-in-law, she was going to her niece's house to ask about her sister-in-law's private affairs. It was really embarrassing.

After listening to this, Song Li sighed and told Song Changming and Song Wu what Wu Mingde had said. Of course, she also told them about Xing'er pushing her. If Xing'er dared to do it, she would dare to say it.

After hearing this, Song Changming's face turned blue with anger. After seeing this, Mrs. Song Wu hurriedly stood up, pulled his arm and said, "Changming, don't be angry. Xing'er is still young, just discipline her more."

Song Changming calmed down and said to Song Wu: "Do you believe that if you discipline her more, she will change? She has been spoiled by you."

After Song Changming finished speaking, he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands. Song Wu and Song Changming had been married for more than ten years. Xing'er and their daughter Song Wan were almost the same age, so Song Wu treated Xing'er as a half-child.

Mrs. Song Wu wanted to say a few words for Xing Er. She said, "Chang Ming, let your mother discipline you. Every girl has her love affair. It's normal for her to like the third son of the Wu family. She just can't accept it for the time being."

After hearing this, Song Changming raised his head and said to Song Wu: "It is because you indulged her time and time again that she thought that as long as she made a fuss, she could get everything. Everyone in the village knows that the head of the village wants to find a girl with a similar family background for Wu Mingde. We are not worthy of marrying into the Wu family, not to mention that they don't like her. If you continue to indulge her, she will bring shame to the family."

After hearing this, Song Wu said, "Changming, I, I..." Song Wu didn't finish her words because she felt very wronged.

After seeing this, Song Li hurriedly supported Song Wu and said, "Auntie, don't be sad, you have to think about the baby in your belly. Being angry is not good for the child. I know that I feel sorry for Aunt Xing'er, but Auntie, if Aunt Xing'er does something bad, Xiaowan will be almost thirteen years old. Haven't you thought about Xiaowan?"

Song Li's words were like thunder, and Song Wu opened her mouth and could not say a word. Yes, she only cared about understanding that Xing'er was young and ignorant, but if it implicated Xiaowan and made it difficult to discuss marriage, that would be another matter.

Song Wu thought for a while, and then she said to Song Li, "I was so confused that I forgot about it. Changming, do whatever you want."

Song Changming thought about it and said firmly: "After returning home, let mother arrange a marriage for her!"
