Chapter 41: Digging a Well
Song Zhizhi said again, "Aunt Wang, do you want me to invite your mother again?" β
"Enough! That's enough! β
"That's right! I did it! That's what I did! Aunt Wang rushed over and pointed at Song Zhizhi, "Who told you to meddle in your affairs?" Who told you to ruin my arranged marriage? Song Zhizhi, what are you? Our Liu family's affairs, when will it be your turn to take care of them? β
"Why can't she take care of it? Today, I will ask my father to take her as a righteous daughter, and we are both sisters, and of course she is qualified to take care of her! β
Liu Yu'er suddenly appeared and said loudly.
Song Zhizhi didn't plan to alarm Liu Wu'er at all, she just wanted to solve this matter by herself, who knew that Liu Wu'er would still know.
"Aunt Wang, I originally respected you and loved you, but didn't you sincerely want to ruin the rest of my life by letting me marry that gentleman of your Wang family?" Liu Xu'er glared at Aunt Wang angrily, "You didn't have a good heart from the beginning, and today you instructed people to throw feces at the door of Zhizhi's new store, why is your heart so dark?" A person like you is not worthy of being my aunt of the Liu family at all! β
"You! You guys! You're a mess! β
"It's a word that should only be applied to people like you." Song Zhizhi pulled the dung-splashed little guy and threw it at Aunt Wang.
"Now, I'll give you two options!" Song Zhizhi said, "First, apologize to me and clean up the feces yourself. Second, I personally went to the royal house to visit your mother and told your mother in detail about the immoral things you have done outside! β
"Don't ......" Aunt Wang's voice was trembling, "I choose the first one, I choose the first one!" β
Next, under the witness of the people in the town, Aunt Wang personally scrubbed the dung at the door of the store, and after scrubbing, she said "I'm sorry" to Song Zhizhi.
Since then, Aunt Wang has not dared to go out again, even so, there has been a joke of "asking for hardship" in the town.
Song Zhizhi has been busy with the renovation of the pharmacy recently, basically running to the pharmacy every day, and the three children in the family are temporarily handed over to the care of Wednesday Niang.
Song Qingshan followed her every day.
Medicinal herb cabinets, benches, etc. have entered the store one after another, and all kinds of herbs are purchased from Boss Li, and the price given is very fair.
The goods that Boss Li bought from Song Zhizhi were really selling well, and Boss Li made a lot of money, urging Song Zhizhi to plant more grass.
Song Zhizhi really doesn't have time right now.
"Knock knock!"
"Is Mrs. Song inside?"
Song Zhizhi took Song Qingshan to classify the medicinal materials, and when he turned around, he saw that the person who came was Liu Wu'er's personal maid, so he dropped the work in his hand and greeted him, "What's wrong?" β
"It's a good thing, Song Niangzi, you come with me!" The maid said, pointing to the sedan chair parked at the door.
"What's the matter? You say it bluntly. β
"Ouch! Song Niangzi, what else can happen? Last time about Aunt Wang, didn't my young lady say in front of everyone that she wanted my lord to recognize you as a righteous daughter? In the future, we will have Liufu as your backer, and in this town, you can walk sideways! β
Others are afraid that they will go crazy with joy when they hear this news, but Song Zhizhi is very calm.
"You said to your young lady, I received this heart, but I don't have to."
"What?" The little maid was taken aback, and reached out to probe Song Zhizhi's forehead, "You don't have a fever, Song Niangzi, can you refuse the good thing of pies falling from the sky?" β
It's naturally good to have Liufu as a backer, but wouldn't it be more meaningful to make a name for yourself in this place with your own ability?
"You help me reject your young lady first, and I'll explain to your young lady when I go back." After she finished speaking, she turned around and went into the pharmacy to continue her work.
The little maid was confused, scratched her head, and muttered, "Is this Song Lady fine or stupid?" Such a good thing can't be touched by others in a lifetime, but she doesn't want it! β
The maid went back to the house to spread the word, and Liu Wu'er came that afternoon.
"What do you mean? Look down on me? Liu Xu'er dragged Song Zhizhi to the backyard, "I told my father about it, but you don't agree here, what's the matter?" Our Liu family is not worthy of you? β
"It's not."
"What's that?"
Song Zhizhi looked at the willow catkins in front of him and said calmly, "I want to rely on myself." β
Liu Yu'er stared at Song Zhizhi and smiled again, "Innocent! What a naivety! β
"But everyone who wants to live a personal life is not to make friends with forces from all corners and use them for their own use? You and I are good friends, I will let my Liu family be your backer, and ensure that you will be prosperous in this town. But what about you? Zhizhi, you thought you were smart and wise, but now it seems that you are naΓ―ve and ridiculous! β
Liu Xu'er said that she would not be angry with Song Zhizhi, standing in Liu Xu'er's position, she was right.
"I am extremely grateful for your help to me, but I can't attach myself to the Liu family and rely on you." Song Zhizhi's eyes burned, "In life, the only person who can rely on yourself is yourself." β
"The most important thing is that I treat you as a good friend, so I don't want to trouble you even more."
Liu Xu'er's heart softened, "You ......"
"Alright." Song Zhizhi said, "If you treat me as a friend, respect my decision!" β
Liu Wu'er had no choice but to give up.
"Did you know? My father has not liked Aunt Wang much since she was laughed at by the people of the town, and the day before yesterday I passed by her yard and caught a glimpse of her sitting in front of the flower garden and secretly saddened herself. Liu Yu'er said, "But didn't she suffer the retribution by herself?" β
The two chatted for a while, and as dusk approached, Liu Wu'er left.
"I say, don't mess me up in a good place! If you break the bricks on the floor, the pillars in the house, and the beams on the roof, I can tell you, if we quarrel and quarrel over a small matter, then I will sue you in a letter of paper to the yamen, and there will be hardships in the yamen for you to eat! β
A casually dressed fat woman stood at the door of the store with a dry cigarette in her mouth, pointing at the person who was carrying things into the store.
She saw that these people were afraid of her, she was very proud, she took a puff of dry tobacco, walked into the house, walked around, and scolded immediately if there was a little wrong, until she came to the backyard, and saw that Song Zhizhi was directing people to dig wells, and angrily smashed the head of the master who drilled the well with a dry tobacco bag, "Little deflated San'er!" Who told you to dig a hole here? Stop it! Stop it! β
"I let them dig it, tell me something!" Song Zhizhi stood forward for a moment, suggesting that the men continue. She looked at the fat woman in front of her and guessed that she was the dominatrix of the owner's family.
"You?" The woman glanced at Song Zhizhi up and down, "What are you?" It's my place here, and it's not your turn to speak! β
"It's my place now." Song Zhizhi said, "Unless you spit out the five-year rent that Miss Liu has prepaid!" β
"Whew!"
The woman spat on Song Zhizhi's face, Song Zhizhi dodged, the woman knocked the cigarette ash in the cigarette bag with her backhand, pointed at Song Zhizhi's nose and said, "You use Miss Liu to press me?" When Miss Liu saw me, I had to shout at the owner!
