Chapter 180 Is She Really Rich?
Everyone in the courtyard looked surprised.
"Mr. Huang is in jail?"
"Isn't Zhimei Mr. Huang's concubine? How could she be demoted to a slave?"
"What do you think a concubine is?"
Song Yuntang's voice continued to come from the room.
"You think that marrying into a wealthy family, even as a concubine, means you've turned the tables and become the master. In reality, what you see is what those concubines are trying to show you."
"In the eyes of wealthy families, concubines are nothing but humble creatures. If you displease the mistress, your life and death will be in her hands. If men like you, they will treat you as a person of importance. If men don't value you, anyone can step on you and your life will be even more miserable than that of a servant."
Zhao Qiao'e and Song Jinbao heard this.
I finally understood why Song Yuntang insisted on canceling the marriage with the Huang family.
But they didn't understand at the time. They just thought that if they went to a wealthy family, even if they became a concubine, they would still be a master. Not only would they have enough food to eat, but they would also have people to serve them.
There is guilt, but more of the blame is directed at Ma.
If she hadn't kept nagging them, they wouldn't have had such thoughts.
"You're lying!" Ma Zhaolan shouted angrily into the room, "Mei'er even sent me a few pounds of meat a while ago. How could she be demoted?"
Song Yuntang put the packed things on her dressing table.
"You're probably talking about the two days when my father and eldest brother brought her to see me, right? Song Zhimei has been at the Huang family for such a short time, she hasn't even received her monthly allowance yet. She must have used the twenty taels she embezzled to buy you some meat. You must cherish this opportunity, because every time you eat it, you'll have less."
"you!"
Ma Zhaolan was about to rush forward, but was stopped by the old couple Song Xingye.
"Ma, today is Tang'er's wedding day. Could you please stop nagging me? If you want to cause trouble again, get out of here!" Lin said with her hands on her hips.
Zhao Qiao'e also looked at Song Jinbao and his son with a feeling of disappointment.
"Don't you know what kind of person Song Zhimei is? You actually led her to Tang'er. What are your intentions? No wonder Jinsheng was beaten by the Huang family. It turned out to be your fault!"
Song Jinyuan hurriedly pointed at Song Jinbao.
"It's not my fault. It was Dad's idea."
He even reminded his father at that time, but his father ignored him and agreed on his own.
Song Jinbao scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
"She said she was going to Tang'er to plead for mercy. I figured we were all family, and if we could talk things through, we'd be on better terms when we met again, so I took her there..."
Zhao Qiao'e punched him in anger.
"You really don't have any brains!"
Song Jinbao felt guilty, so he covered his arm and said nothing.
Once the old couple came forward, Ma finally calmed down a little.
"Mom, she's a traitorous daughter of the Song family, why are you still speaking for her? After all, I gave birth to two sons and a daughter for our Song family. I'm the great contributor to our Song family! Why don't you help your own family members, but instead help her, an outsider who's about to get married?"
"You talk like everyone's had children?" Lin Guifen pointed at her eldest daughter-in-law, Wang Hongying, and her third daughter-in-law, Zhao Qiao'e. "The eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to four sons, and the third daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter and four sons. Which one of them didn't contribute more than you? You're the only one who likes to brag!"
"Ren Tang'er is still paying her four cousins their wages. How can she be so ungrateful? Is it true that being ungrateful in your family is not considered ungrateful?"
Ma stamped her feet.
"Humph! Mom is biased! It's so lively today, whoever wants to watch can watch. Since Dad and Mom don't like us so much, our family won't be here to bother you."
After saying that, she looked at her husband, son and daughter-in-law.
"let's go!"
Song Jinwen, who has always been afraid of his wife, did not listen to her this time. His butt seemed to be stuck to the stool and he did not move.
But under her pressure, her two sons and eldest daughter-in-law, although reluctant to leave, still slowly stood up from their seats.
At this moment, Miao carried the cooled sour plum soup on a tray and left the house.
"Last night the young lady told me to make sour plum soup for everyone this morning. Come have a bowl."
Ma's foot had just crossed the threshold when she heard that there was sour plum soup to drink. She didn't know whether to lift her other foot or not, and froze in place for a moment.
Lin Guifen glanced in her direction with a sneer on her face.
"Ma, weren't you going to leave? Why aren't you moving again? Hurry and leave!"
Ma was very flexible and immediately put on a smile and turned around to walk towards her. "What are you saying, mother? Wasn't this just a momentary outburst of anger?"
Seeing that she was not leaving, the two sons and the eldest daughter-in-law who had just stood up breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.
"Auntie, why do you call Tang'er 'Miss'?" Liu Xiangyun asked curiously.
Miao smiled gently, her expression respectful.
"The young lady is our master. She treats people kindly, and she doesn't allow us to call her Miss. So, shouldn't we call her Miss?"
The Song family was shocked.
"Are you the slaves Tang'er bought?"
After hearing this, Ma's hand holding the sour plum soup trembled and she almost spilled it.
If she had left just now, she wouldn't have known that Song Yuntang had actually bought a slave?
real or fake?
Is she really rich?
Miao smiled and carried a tray to distribute bowls of sour plum soup to the Song family members according to their age.
"Thanks to the girl, our family is able to stay together. Today is her lucky day. I hope everyone can be harmonious and not let our girl lose face in front of her husband's family."
"I know I'm of low status, and it's not my place to say these things, but the young lady is my master after all. If my words have offended you, I apologize here."
Although she had never lived in a wealthy family, the pawnbrokers not only bought them but also taught them how to serve their masters and interact with others.
Naturally, I learned these words from my aunt who was a teacher in the dental clinic.
After hearing her words, the Song family fell silent for a moment.
As Song Yuntang's family, they actually needed a servant to give them some advice. It was really embarrassing.
Song Xingye put down the sour plum soup in his hand and spoke.
"I don't care what you're thinking today, just keep your mouths shut from now on. If anyone dares to cause trouble again, don't blame me for punishing you with my family rules when you get home!"
Ma Zhaolan shrank his neck, turned sideways and continued to drink the sour plum soup in the bowl in small sips.
……
After that, the atmosphere in the yard was quite harmonious.
After drinking the sour plum soup, Zhao Qiao'e went into the house to comb Song Yuntang's hair.
As she combed her hair, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Tang'er, I'm sorry. I mistakenly trusted Lin Zhaozhao before and caused many misunderstandings about you. I apologize to you."
Song Yuntang shook his head.
"I don't mind it anymore."
Thinking she meant to let it go, Zhao Qiao'e smiled at the delicate girl in the mirror and said, "From now on, my family will no longer have any contact with her. You are the only daughter in our family from now on."
Song Yuntang looked up at Zhao Qiao'e who was standing behind her in the bronze mirror.
"Such a caring daughter, are you really going to just leave her like that?"
Zhao Qiao'e just felt a little embarrassed.
"I know Tang'er blames us, but we were also deceived by Lin Zhaozhao at that time. Who knew that under her well-behaved and sensible appearance, she actually hid such a vicious mind?"
"It's not that there are no clues, it's just that you don't want to interpret her as such a bad person, just like... you always think that everything I do has an ulterior motive." Song Yuntang said with a smile, "But that doesn't matter anymore. What matters is that you can recognize Lin Zhaozhao's true face."
This way I won’t fall into her hands in the future and have to clean up the mess myself.
