Capítulo 1345: Chapter 1345: Song Chunye’s Plan
This was also a request from Song Chunhua. Originally, the traveling rchant heard that Song Chongjin’s family was still in Jing County and hadn’t returned ho, so he wanted to send her directly to the Song Family.
But in the end, he feared consequences.
Moreover, Song Chunhua herself said not to trouble the rchant, and that sending her back ho would suffice.
The rchant couldn’t wait to rid himself of this trouble and feared Song Chongjin might cause him grief. Without thinking much, he sent her away.
After sending Song Chunhua off, the rchant boarded the ship, secretly vowing never to return to Jing County again—it was truly too frightening!
One careless mistake might cost his life!
Putting aside how scared the rchant was, let’s talk about Song Chunhua.
Song Chunhua had the self-awareness; she had been sold by the Song family to the rchant as a concubine for a man old enough to be her father, and her heart towards her family had died long ago.
This rchant only had a bit of money and behaved more crudely than so countryn.
Not to ntion, compared with the noble patron from the past.
The rchant loved drinking; once he drank too much, he would return and tornt her without considering her a human, only as an object or decoration.
Once taken to his hotown and introduced to his wife, her life beca more difficult.
The wife was extrely jealous, hitting and swearing at her with no restraint even in front of the rchant.
The wife’s children had no pleasant attitude towards her either, except one son who had desires towards her.
Once discovered by the wife and rchant, instead of blaming their son, they slapped her, accusing her of being a vixen spirit!
They threatened to drown her in a pond!
Forced into desperation, Song Chunhua resorted to the skills learned from serving the noble patron, coaxing the rchant into taking her away.
She never imagined that upon hearing of Song Chongjin’s whereabouts on the road, the rchant beca frightened and sold her off to soone else without a word as a laundress.
Luckily, she had good fortune; the buyer, upon hearing her relation with Song Chongjin, sent her back.
She dared not return to Qilidun.
Fearing her parents and brothers might take away her little savings, or worse, sell her again.
Thus, she rented a room in Shiqiao Town, choosing to live a secluded life.
When she returned this ti, she feared people’s gossip, covering her face with a veil so that no one saw her clearly.
She rarely went out, living a quiet life.
On the day Song Chongjin returned to Shiqiao Town, the entire town was stirred; Song Chunhua, wearing her hat, observed quietly from afar at the street corner.
But there were too many people pushing forward to see the spectacle and catch so fortune.
Song Chunhua couldn’t push forward, only catching a glimpse of Song Chongjin’s back without seeing his face.
Returning ho, she cried half the night. Regret was too late.
The next day, her mind still dazed while grocery shopping, she improperly wore her hat and happened to be spotted by the Song family brothers.
They pursued her to her residence, trying to follow her inside, but Song Chunhua now saw the Song family mbers as fire and water, avoiding them entirely, refusing them entry.
The Song family brothers faced rejection at the door, wanting to force their way in but lacking the courage.
They wouldn’t give up, initially thinking Song Chunhua had returned with the rchant, considering asking the rchant for so silver money.
Unexpectedly, upon inquiry, they learned she was living alone, saying her husband was dead, she had no children, and was living by herself.
The Song brothers felt puzzled, returning ho to inform the Song family, saying based on her attire and ability to afford renting a place, she must have gotten silver from the rchant.
They began plotting about Song Chunhua.
Upon hearing, Song Chunye felt imbalance in her heart!
Since childhood, Song Chunhua was prettier than her, and the family planned to send her to a wealthy household as a maid, possibly becoming a concubine soday, pampering her.
They wouldn’t let her work the fields, afraid to tan her fair skin.
As the eldest sister, Song Chunye from age three or four had to watch over siblings, clean the house, then cook, wash clothes, work the fields, never missing a task.
How could she not feel resentful?
Eventually, Song Chunhua indeed captivated the noble patron due to her good looks, and got pregnant with his child, even though she was a disgraceful face-washing maid secretly sent back.
But seeing Song Chunhua pampered with smooth skin, adorned with gold and silver, using extravagant items, especially being treated as a treasure by the family, she couldn’t help but envy!
Born of the sa parents, why should Song Chunhua enjoy such privilege, serving the noble patron, while Song Chunye was dood to marry a lowly farr?
The resentnt accumulated, turning into poisonous juice, soaking her heart for years.
Later, once Song Chunhua lost contact with the noble patron and suffered in life, Song Chunye visited family often to see Song Chunhua, speaking consolation but inwardly delighting, feeling justice that Song Chunhua tasted a fall from grace.
Unexpectedly, Song Chunhua had good fortune; the illegitimate child she bore turned out remarkably, outperforming those she bore and raised.
How could Song Chunye accept this? Constantly under the guise of caring for Song Chunhua, she incited her to pressure Song Chongjin, driving a wedge between them.
Watching over Song Chunhua’s foolishness over the years, never suspecting her sister’s true intentions, following her blindly, gradually alienating Song Chongjin until the final rupture!
Song Chunye truly dread with laughter! Especially when Song Chunhua was sold as a concubine to the rchant, it brought her imnse satisfaction!
Even when divorced back ho, life was tough, but knowing Song Chunhua’s misery was greater kept her going.
Nobody expected Song Chunhua to return alone with silver, living comfortably in town!
Why should she have such fortune?
Song Chunye’s hatred pierced her heart!
Upon hearing the Song brothers’ plan, an idea sparked in her mind.
Encouraging the Song brothers to lure Song Chunhua back, letting her plead with Song Chongjin.
After all, they had years of mother-son relationship; even estranged, could he truly be heartless?
Whether Song Chunhua begged or caused a scene, as long as she clung to Song Chongjin, their Song family’s prosperity would follow.
With Song Chongjin as their backing, there’d be no worry in life, only to indulge!
Their status could even surpass the Wang Family, for Song Chongjin still bore the Song na!
These words moved the Song family!
It was Song family’s second child’s wife who asked, if Song Chunhua goes pleading or causing a fuss, and Song Chongjin still refuses to recognize, what then?
Before Song Chunye could reply, Song Tiedan spoke first: “That’s just fine, either way, it’s Chunhua causing the commotion; if successful, we share the benefits, if not, we pretend ignorance. After all, we’ll deny everything then!”
The Song family nodded repeatedly, thinking it’s a guaranteed win!
Especially after the feast, mocked by villagers, their urge to reconnect with Song Chongjin intensified.
Thus, the day after the feast, the Song brothers prepared and headed straight to Shiqiao Town.
