Chapter Seventy-Five: Temptation
"You see, this Liu mother and daughter eat us and live with us, but why should they harm us in front of the old village chief? As soon as the Su family falls, won't they be helpless? It can be said that this does them no good at all, is it because they have a hole in their brains? Or is it just to vent hatred for a while? But that Song Qinglian doesn't look like the kind of person who has no brains......" Su Xiaowan couldn't figure out this question.
As soon as she said this, everyone immediately fell silent.
After a while, Song Qingyi took the initiative to speak, first praising Su Xiaowan: "Xiaowan has really grown up, and her mind has become more and more detailed, and now when she thinks about problems, she can think of the details that we will ignore." ”
It is rare to be praised for being careful, and Su Xiaowan was suddenly a little embarrassed.
As for Song Qinglian's purpose, Song Qingyi, who has not been reborn for a lifetime, is even clearer.
She sorted out the wording a little, and then said with a thoughtful face: "This question, Xiaowan thinks well, it stands to reason that the Su family is Song Qinglian's backer, without the Su family, she and the Liu family can only live on the streets." Therefore, when the Su family was in trouble, she should have helped the Su family, but what she did was not like this at all, but fell into the ground. ”
"That's right, that's it, that's it, I can't figure it out." Su Xiaowan said.
"That's easy, too. Let's make an assumption, let's say that this time I was expelled, and the second uncle was facing her again, and he would inevitably use the identity of the village chief to ask the mother to keep her and the Liu family in the Su family, you say, is this possibility true? Song Qingyi tried to analyze.
"No...... Su Xiaowan didn't think much, "Who stays or not, isn't it A-Niang's decision?" ”
She looked at Lai.
However, Lai shook his head: "If he insists on suppressing and forcing as the patriarch, and then brings the people of the clan to come over to exert pressure, I can only agree." ”
"Yes. That's right. Song Qingyi nodded and continued to analyze, "Besides, if you are driven away by Song Qinglian one by one, will the Su family be left in the end?" Then everything in the Su family, does it belong to her? Song Qingyi directly exposed Song Qingyi's purpose.
But this time, there were more unbelievers.
"According to you, how perfectly planned was she? Don't talk about you, Xiaowan and Wen'er are both born to me, is it possible, I will allow them to be driven away? Even Lai's questioned what Song Qingyi said about this.
Of course, it is not to question Song Qinglian's purpose, but to question whether Song Qinglian has that ability.
"What will happen in the future, no one knows, mother, Song Qinglian can deceive me with sisterly affection for more than ten years, let me make her a cow and a horse, who knows if she will deceive you and others in the future? Since we are planning, of course we must prepare for the worst. If you don't believe it, give her twenty taels of silver today and let her leave the Su family, and see if she is reluctant to leave, won't you know? Song Qingyi said with a smile.
Lai Shi looked at her determined smile, and suddenly became interested: "Okay! But isn't that boring? Let's just make a bet! ”
"How do you want to bet?"
"I'm going to try it tonight! If she is really as you say, then these twenty taels of silver will be considered my loss to you!" ”
"Then I'll just wait to laugh at it." Song Qingyi looked confident.
"Haha." Lai's is not easy to admit defeat, "If you lose, then you have to give me another twenty taels of silver!" ”
This is difficult for Song Qingyi.
She frowned, with a worried face: "Mother, you really deliberately embarrass me, how can I give you twenty taels of silver?" ”
"It's easy to say, owe it first! If you have a little in the future, just pay me back! Lai smiled heartily.
"Alright then, let's just wait and see, I'm not going to lose." Seeing that her mother-in-law's interest was so high, Song Qingyi also nodded with a smile, but she had the chance to win.
Su gradually heard with interest: "A-Niang, since it's a gambling game, isn't the fun of only the two of you going to be greatly reduced?" It's lively when there are more people, so let's also gamble, I bet on my brother and sister to win, if my brother and sister win, you have to lose five taels of silver to me. ”
When he heard that his son was on Song Qingyi's side, Lai was not satisfied, and scolded him with a smile: "Stinky boy, I don't believe in being a mother!" Good! If you win, I won't give you five taels of silver, but I'll give you ten taels of silver!" But if you lose, you have to double it and give me twenty taels! ”
"Huh." Su Yanwen couldn't help but shake his head and smile, "But A-Niang, my son is poor, and he can't take out twenty taels of silver." ”
"It's better for you to say, when the school starts, all the bundles will be handed over to me at that time, and you can always make up enough for twenty taels, right?" Lai quickly figured out a way for him to get the money.
"Alas, it's worthy of a mother, thinking is long-term! In this way, you have my economic lifeline firmly in your hands! Su Wanwen sighed deliberately.
"Stinky boy! Do you dare to complain about being a mother? Lai's pretended to be dissatisfied and scolded.
"Don't dare! Can't! ”
"A-Niang, I belong to the same country as you, I believe in you! Bet you to win! At this time, Su Xiaowan also participated in the gambling game with a smile, holding Lai's arm, with a coquettish face, "However, if I lose, Ah Niang will win, and if I win, Ah Niang will score ten taels of silver for me!" ”
"Oh, you stinky girl, you are actually from the same country as your eldest brother, right? You don't do anything, just say believe me, if you win, you want to take ten taels of silver? Tell me, are you a lion's mouth? Lai nodded at the tip of his daughter's upturned nose, and said this in his mouth, but his face was very happy.
Su Xiaowan chuckled: "How can there be?" You must know that A-Niang, you won, but you have forty taels of silver all of a sudden! I'm just ten taels, how can it be too much? ”
"You're just a little bean!"
"Hehe, I've learned all the wisdom from A-Niang!"
"You'll be poor!"
In the midst of the jokes between Su Xiaowan and Lai's mother and daughter, Song Qingyi quietly picked up the teacup, drank hot tea, and narrowed his ironed eyes comfortably.
A room full of fun.
The unpleasant atmosphere of this day was swept away!
……
……
There was laughter and laughter in the hall, but in the west room, Liu and Song Qinglian could only tremble, clamping their tails and being people.
Lai's courage is indispensable, and today they have seen it again.
Their closest relative, Song Qingyi, also seems to have seen through the hypocrisy of this family affection and refused to help them at all.
Now, what the Liu family mother and daughter are most afraid of is that the Lai family can't stand their behavior today, and they have to drive them out of the Su family, and the Su family also has a powerful madman, if they really want to forcibly drive people out, they can only be obediently swept away.
