After the birth of a woman, the whole family depends on me to bring honor to the family
Chapter 71 Preparing to Leave the Village
The weather gradually turned cooler, and a strong wind blew in the October sky. Song Xin stood under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village.
It has been several days since I last saw Xiang Ge'er. Seeing him in a daze, Song Yun said in a mean way.
"Song Xin, you're not still waiting for Song Xiang, are you?"
"none of your business."
Seeing that he didn't want to pay attention, Song Yun was very angry.
"Don't wait. He won't come. You may not know this, but he died a week ago. You won't be able to wait for him."
Song Xin stood up suddenly, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
"What did you say?"
Song Yun started talking again in a nasty tone.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Those of us who didn't get along well with him all know that he's dead, but you, who was the best friend, don't know. It seems that Song Xiang doesn't consider you a good friend either."
"You said he's dead? What nonsense are you talking about? He was fine a few days ago."
Now the smile on Song Yun's face became even bigger. It turned out that the relationship between the two was not as good as he imagined, otherwise Song Xiang would not have told him that she had the black disease.
"Believe it or not, his mother threw him to the mountain two days ago. It's the place where the children are buried. I think his body is gone. He might have been eaten by wild animals."
Song Yun had a look of gloating on his face.
"No, it's impossible. I don't believe it."
Song Xin's face was filled with panic, and then he suddenly ran towards the west end of the village. It took him almost half an hour to reach Song Xiang's house.
Looking at Mr. Song Xiang who was sweeping the floor outside, he asked with an uneasy look.
"Uncle Yu Mo, where is your Song Xiang?"
Song Xiangye looked up and saw that it was Song Xin with a drooping mouth, and replied impatiently.
"He died of a black disease. His mother threw him into the mountains two days ago."
Song Xinru was struck by lightning and walked back home in a daze.
"What's wrong?"
Pan Xiaofu looked at his lonely and sad expression and asked.
Unexpectedly, just this question made Song Xin burst into tears.
"Wuwuwu... Grandpa, Xiangge'er is gone, he's dead, wuwuwu... We agreed to go to the county town together when we grow up, and we also agreed to tie each other's hair."
Song Xin couldn't stop crying.
Pan Xiaofu patted his back and comforted him softly.
"Xin'er, don't cry. Everyone has their own hardships. If you can't make it, they will disappear. If you make it, there will be more waiting. You are still young and you will have your own path to walk in the future. Xiang'er is just a passer-by in your life."
Song Xin didn't quite understand. Ma Taozhi sighed, went back to the room and watched Song Yu reading a book seriously. He was silent.
This incident dealt a heavy blow to Song Xiang, and he seemed like a different person overnight, except that his lazy nature did not change much.
Song Yi went to the town again to buy seeds that could be planted in October, and bought a new variety, coriander.
The gloomy sky looked very depressing. Half a month had passed since Song Xiang's death, and Song Xin's smiles had become much less frequent.
Song Yu finished reading all the books of Song Jushu in November. He had a photographic memory and could read the books word for word, not to mention writing.
When the severe winter came, everyone in the family changed into thick clothes. Song Xin was still the same as before, going under the old locust tree every month to wait for a dead person who would never come.
It is estimated that many people in the village will be able to survive this harsh winter, as the crops have not been affected by natural disasters this year.
At the end of December, Song Jushu, Song Zhining and Song Jing all returned to the village, and heavy snow fell that day.
When Song Jing was passing by the village entrance wearing beautiful clothes, she was seen by many boys, especially Song Yu, whose eyes were filled with poison.
Even heavy snow cannot stop the young girls and boys from strolling around. The entrance to the village becomes the place where they gather to chat.
"Hey! Look at this Jing brother, he is getting more and more handsome."
"Yes, look at the clothes he is wearing, they are really nice."
"Oh! I really envy him. He can actually go to the county town to work. We may never be able to go to the county town once in our lifetime."
Song Yu felt jealous when he heard their envious tone.
"Humph! She's dressed like a slutty vixen. Who knows what she's doing out there!"
Everyone was speechless looking at his expression. Her grandmother is a scholar's wife, it would be very convenient for her to find things to do, why would she be unclear with others?
However, no one spoke to explain anything, and no one spoke to help Song Jing. Even Song Yue, who was standing beside her, kept her head down and said nothing.
The biggest change is Song Zhining. She looks calmer now. She will respond when someone greets her. She has become much more tactful.
She used to be rather reckless and would just speak directly when something happened, but after running around for a few months, she was completely transformed.
The family sat at the table, looking at the delicious fish and meat on the table, and Song Jushu started to eat.
It is the rule of the Song family not to talk while eating, but Song Zhining still makes loud noises while eating. Some habits are hard to change.
After dinner, Song Jing quickly collected the dishes and washed them, and he did his work very efficiently.
Song Xin didn't eat much, as he had something on his mind. When night came, he would hug his second brother and talk about his own affairs.
After Song Jing finished washing the dishes, Song Jushu called the whole family to the inner room. She had something important to discuss with her family.
After seeing that everyone was present, she told everyone about the plan she had been planning and how to implement it.
"We will move to the county town after this year. We have already bought a house. Yu Jieer will be able to ride a boat when she turns one. The river is quite cold, so you should wear thicker clothes. I have already made arrangements for the house at home."
Song Jushu is very decisive in doing things, and family members have to listen to her arrangements and are not allowed to interfere.
But Song Yi was a little melancholy. What about the vegetables in her fields? And the soil on the mountain, which took her a lot of time to take care of.
Song Yu also listened quietly, thinking that her grandmother had some plans for the future. Her grandmother was the one who made the decision in their family, so she just had to follow her. She just wanted to lie down.
But she had no idea that arriving in the county town was just the beginning of her suffering. Facts told her that without hard work, she really couldn't succeed. With the expectations of her family, she had no choice but to fight back.
"Are you still short of money? I still have three hundred taels of silver at home."
As soon as Pan Xiaofu said this, everyone stared at him, and Song Zhining also looked incredulous.
"Dad, where did you get so much money?"
It was almost as much as his salary for several years, and her father didn’t look like someone who would make a lot of money.
This question of Song Zhining was exactly what his family wanted to know. Seeing everyone's curious eyes, he looked at Song Yi.
Song Yi touched his head embarrassedly. All this money was earned from selling vegetables, except for the seeds. The biggest risk was that the seeds might not survive, thus wasting money.
"These are all earned by Sister Yi from selling vegetables."
As soon as Pan Xiaofu finished speaking, Song Yi blushed.
"Yes, Sister Yi has really grown up, and has become an excellent girl who can stand on her own."
Song Jushu rarely praised her. Song Yi was very excited. Her grandmother praised her, and she did not hold the family back.
