Song An said, "Hmm?" and saw the embarrassed look on his face, he knew what he wanted to say and was worried that Lin Qiao in the house might hear, "Let’s talk in your room."
After entering the room, Song An took out two taels of silver from his pocket and gave it to him, "Take it to treat your sister-in-law. If it’s not enough, tell ."
Song Tingfan accepted it, holding the silver, he pursed his lips, "Uncle, I’ll pay you back in two months."
"No need to pay back, just use it for yourself." Song An raised his hand to comfort the only bloodline of his second brother’s family, and said in a deep voice: "Your uncle won’t leave you guys alone. Don’t be afraid."
Song Tingfan felt a pang in his nose and quietly said "Hmm", even though his uncle said there was no need to pay back, he rembered it in his heart and was determined to pay him back.
Song An thought of sothing and reminded him, "If there are things that are inconvenient for you to handle while taking care of your sister-in-law, just call your cousin."
"Okay." Song Tingfan nodded.
Besides Song An’s house, even the Wang family next door ca to visit, bringing ten eggs.
That night, there was a "thud" in the courtyard, and Song Tingfan and Lin Qiao in the house were imdiately awakened. Song Tingfan got up and grabbed the stick by the door, standing at the doorway upon opening the door.
Seeing a dark shadow crouching on the courtyard wall, he instinctively swung the stick in his hand over, the shadow being hit let out an "ow", and then with a "thud", the shadow disappeared.
Shortly after, a voice ca from the courtyard wall, "Brother-in-law, it’s , your sister-in-law’s husband!"
"Ow, damn, you nearly hit to death. Rember to take the stuff out for your sister-in-law to eat."
From this tone, it was clearly Niu Er’s voice.
"Don’t climb over my wall again." Song Tingfan said angrily.
"Then next ti leave the door open for ..."
Before Niu Er could finish his sentence, the young man angrily said two words, "Get lost!"
Niu Er was hit hard, dizzy, holding his forehead as he walked away.
Damn, that little brat has so strength, almost sent his brother-in-law on his way.
Song Tingfan picked up the stuff in the yard and without thinking, tossed it out, his sister-in-law didn’t need his things.
Song Qin in the room woke up, but her hearing wasn’t great and she didn’t hear Niu Er’s voice. She asked, "Niu Niu, who are you talking to?"
"No one, I was just using the toilet." Song Tingfan didn’t want them to worry.
Song Qin gave a word of caution, "Oh, be careful."
Lin Qiao inside had already heard Niu Er’s words, for his behavior, "..."
This person, hate him or not, is just as annoying.
The door was pushed open and then closed again, soon after, the bed’s side lowered.
Lin Qiao asked sideways, "Niu Er?"
"Yeah." Song Tingfan replied sullenly.
"What did he bring?"
"Don’t know, threw it out."
"Oh, go to sleep."
Lin Qiao reached out to cover him with the quilt.
The room returned to silence, the chirping of insects outside the yard was clearly audible.
As the weather turned clearer, Lin Qiao’s leg injury began to scab, and Song Tingfan was going back to school.
Having had nearly a month off, the children’s playful nature ca out, despite the start of the morning class, they were still whispering.
Cheng Sheng, rarely angry, struck the table with a ruler in his hand, "thud thud", "Want to chat? Go outside and talk as much as you want! If you don’t want to study, go ho early."
For a mont, the school quieted down, the children lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
After a while, Cheng Sheng continued teaching, and after the first class ended, he sat beside the lectern, and suddenly a voice rang out, "Teacher."
He looked up, seeing a handso face, warmly asked, "What’s the matter?"
"Teacher, can I go ho before noon?" The boy nervously pinched the corners of his clothes, afraid he would refuse.
"Why?"
"My sister-in-law injured her leg, and no one is at ho to cook. I want to go back early to make it."
Cheng Sheng knew about Lin Qiao’s leg injury and heard it was not small. After thinking for a mont, he nodded, "Allow you to return two quarters of an hour early every day, but in the afternoon, you have to co to school two quarters of an hour earlier than the other kids, I’ll make it up to you."
Song Tingfan nodded quickly, cupped his hand in thanks, "Thank you, teacher."
"You’re welco, study hard. I’ve seen your coursework, and you’ve done very well." Cheng Sheng praised him appreciatively.
...
anwhile, at Song’s second family.
Having been cooped up inside for days, Lin Qiao talked with Song Qin for a while before she agreed to let her sit in the courtyard to bask in the sun.
To make her comfortable while sitting, Song Qin padded the armchair with clothes, and then draped a thin quilt over her.
Villagers passing by the door would greet her at the entrance, asking how she was doing and such.
Niu Er probably got the news and ca to Song’s second family door, bare-chested.
He didn’t go in, just stayed at the door, casually saying, "Widow Song, your la leg isn’t better yet?"
Lin Qiao glanced at him and then looked away, indicating she didn’t want to bother with him.
Song Qin stood in front of Lin Qiao, scolding Niu Er, "Don’t stand at the door."
"Aunt Song, don’t be mad, I’m here kindly to see Widow Song." Niu Er thick-skinned stood at the door without leaving, adding, "Widow Song, did you eat the eggs I gave you? They cost over twenty cents!"
"Aren’t you touched? Hehe, no need to repay, just marry and it’ll be fine, don’t worry, I won’t mind your la leg."
As long as the face is not ruined, being la in both legs is no problem, hehe, it doesn’t bother him at all.
Lin Qiao: "..."
She couldn’t help but retort, "Niu Er, take ten steps back and look down."
Niu Er didn’t understand what she ant but he followed her words and looked back, seeing a river ditch ten steps away, he understood, "Widow Song, are you saying I’m ugly?"
"Humph, short-sighted woman, have you heard the saying, the uglier the man, the more capable he is?"
Lin Qiao’s face twitched, "You only have ugliness covered."
Niu Er was choked on his words, how could Widow Song have such a sharp tongue, indeed, beautiful won are "vicious hearts".
"Widow Song, how can you be so sharp-tongued, careful no man will want you, and when you beg , I won’t marry you."
Seeing him go on endlessly, Lin Qiao was too lazy to pay attention to him, struggled to get up, and leaned on Song Qin’s support to go into the house.
Niu Er thought she was scared and looked smug, "Widow Song, don’t go inside, don’t be shy, at worst I’ll marry you..."
Old Man Niu heard from others that his troubleso son was teasing Widow Song at Song’s second family doorstep, and hurried over.
He happened to hear this line and imdiately kicked him, "People would have to be blind to marry you! Have you no self-awareness of your worth? Like a rotten grass snake, fooling around every day, asking you to dig and you’ve dug to soone else’s doorstep."
"Is it that one day you’ll dig into the sky?"
Niu Er was in pain from being hit, "Ow", but still couldn’t help retorting, "I won’t go to the sky, how to dig?"
"I see you’re very capable, going up to the sky and into the earth, nothing is impossible."
Old Man Niu couldn’t help giving him another slap, seeing he still wanted to speak, he raised his hand and twisted his ear tightly, "If you don’t dig the ground for today, I’ll hang you on a tree to dry."
