"This can't be nonsense, if it spreads, it will ruin Brother Shi's reputation. Besides, Brother Shi just looks at our mother and son pitifully, why do you say so much? Song Qian hurriedly asked Zhao Meiying to stop, his eyes glanced at Shi Lei, and he was relieved to see that he was chopping wood in a muffled voice and did not hear the conversation between the two.

There are many people in this village, and there are a few people who like to chew their tongues. She was already criticized for being a widow, and Shi Lei was innocent and had too much contact with her alone, and she couldn't get into trouble. At that time, if he caused trouble to him because of himself, Song Qian would definitely blame himself.

Seeing Song Qian's serious expression, Zhao Meiying stopped joking, and said before leaving: "If you have free time later, I can ask Yuanbao to go to my house to play." Yesterday, my family carved a slingshot to fight birds, and Da Zhuang said that he wanted to come to play with ingots. ”

As soon as Yuan Bao heard that there was something new, his eyes lit up.

Song Qian saw off the guests in front of the threshold and replied, "Hey! Da Zhuang likes to eat the mung bean cake I made, and asked him to bring it with him when Yuan Bao went later. ”

Song Qian's pastries and desserts also made a name for themselves in the village, and the children of various families scrambled to play with the ingots, one in order to try it, and the other was that the elders of the family wanted to see Song Qian's brilliant Tengda and wanted to set it closely. Yuanbao knows their thoughts very well, and they are far away, but they can only play with Da Zhuang.

"Thank you Mrs. Song, then I'll go first."

When Zhao Meiying walked out of the courtyard, she also glanced at Shi Lei, and the other party suddenly felt uncomfortable and her ears were red and hot, because he listened to the jokes of the two just now.

Song Qian made poached egg white soup noodles, and thought that Shi Lei would work hard for her family, so he gave him an extra egg.

When it was served, Shi Lei hurriedly said, "Song Niangzi, what is this doing?" This egg is precious or left for ingots to eat. ”

There are not many people in this village who raise chickens, and eggs are even rarer. What's more, this Song Qian and Yuanbao orphans and widows, life is already tight, how can he eat it with peace of mind? Thinking so, he moved his chopsticks to hand the egg to the ingots bowl.

Yuan Bao's eyes were quick, he hurriedly covered the bowl and picked it up, turned around and said: "Uncle Shi, this is my mother's mother who saw you working hard and deliberately lay for you, if you don't eat, you will live up to your mother's kindness." ”

Song Qian also echoed: "Yes, Brother Shi." It's hard work to chop wood and carry water, how can you afford to do so much in the morning? I don't have anything to thank for it, so don't shirk this idea. ”

"Then thank you Song Niangzi." When Shi Lei saw the mother and son saying this, it was difficult to refuse. Seeing him eat it, Song Qian was also a lot more comfortable.

Had breakfast, the hour was still early.

Shi Lei saw that the work in the yard was almost done, so he was about to leave, and when he left, he asked Song Qian to go to the town to be careful.

After sending Shi Lei away, Song Qian went back to the house to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and couldn't help but think of Zhao Meiying's words.

The original owner took the ingots to be widowed for the second child of the Xu family for many years, and was calculated by her mother-in-law's family, and she was criticized everywhere in the village, and she really suffered a lot. Now that she has taken possession of her body and started a business again, the people in the village are even more excluded from her, and they may have bad intentions. She and the orphans and widows of Yuanbao guarded the broken grass house, and it was not easy to worry day and night, and they really needed a man to set up the door, so that those people would not dare to have bad thoughts.

Shi Lei is a hunter, although he has never been rich, but fortunately, he is honest and motivated. Besides, seeing what he has done during this time, I think he has a heart for the original owner, and if he marries him, he will not be sad.

Song Qian was still washing the dishes while thinking like this, and for a while he didn't notice that the bowl slipped out of his palm and fell to the ground and shattered into several petals. Song Qian came back to his senses in shock, and Yuan Bao also heard the movement and ran in from the courtyard.

"Mother, are you alright?"

Song Qian picked up the pieces through the rag and responded: "Mother is fine, scared Yuanbao, right?" ”

Seeing Song Qian's solemn expression and absent-minded look, Yuan Bao categorically realized that she had encountered something troublesome, and after some questioning, Song Qian said what was in her heart.

"Yuanbao, our family is just you, my mother and son, life is worrying, and it is difficult to do heavy work or something. So my mother wants to find a father with you, so that you and I, mother and son, can also have a place to rely on, right? This Uncle Shi is honest and kind to your mother, what do you think? Like him or not? ”

Although her modern thinking made her scoff at the argument that women could only rely on men, she felt it when she was in this era. There are too many constraints on women in this era, which makes them have to do it. Although there are a few who can make a fortune on their own, they are also a minority.

Yuan Bao was smart, so he naturally understood the meaning of Song Qian's words, and asked with a serious face: "Then mother, you and Uncle Shi are in love?" He remembered what his mother said to him that day, only people who are happy with each other can really talk about marriage, why has his mother changed now?

Song Qian was stopped by these words, and after being stunned, she replied: "Yuanbao, what my mother talked about with you has nothing to do with this. ”

"How is it irrelevant? Mother, you said that only when two people are happy can they talk about marriage. Although Uncle Shi is sincere to you, you are only grateful to Uncle Shi, why do you want to talk about marriage with him? Besides, I think the two of you don't have the same personalities, and there will be constant conflicts in the future. Why not stop there? lest there be trouble in the future. Yuanbao's righteous words broke Song Qian's thoughts at this time.

What Yuan Bao said is extremely true. He was just grateful for Shi Lei's help and didn't have other thoughts, but he was serious about himself. If you talk about marriage because you want to find someone to rely on, wouldn't you play with Shi Lei's feelings?

I still blame her for being too careless and didn't think of this.

"What Yuan Bao said is that my mother thinks too much, so we won't mention this matter anymore. Can you help my mother bring the half pot of mung beans that I soaked in the back room last night? Mother and mother make mung bean cake with your big brother and eat it. ”

Yuan Bao did so with joy, and when he saw him running into the back room, Song Qian got up and sighed lightly, suppressing those unrealistic thoughts in his heart and no longer thinking about it.

After finishing the chores at home, Song Qian took the ingots to the town. Business was very good today, and desserts and cold drinks were sold out in less than half an hour.

Song Qian didn't want to do more today, and remembered that Zhao Meiying asked Yuanbao to go to her house to find Da Zhuang to play, so she hung up the sign early and went to the market to buy some things, and went to the village.

Seeing that the mung beans have been soaked, Song Qianmali peeled and steamed, added milk and stirred evenly into a muddy makeup, and then put it into the pot, added sugar, maltose, and oil to stir-fry into a non-stick spoon, and finally took it out to set it and let it cool.

Song Qian put the mung bean cake into the food box, and when he handed it to the ingots, he also instructed: "Slow down on the road, don't fall and knock over the food box." Yuan Bao responded again and again, and then left to Zhao Meiying's house.

Song Qian was busy making dinner when she had no spare time, and just as she was washing the rice, the voice of the lady came from outside: "Xu Laoer's family, your ingots are fighting with people next to the well, you go and see it quickly!" ”

Hearing this, Song Qian was shocked, worried that something would happen to the ingot, so he hurriedly threw down the wooden basin in his hand and rushed to the well.

I saw that the mung bean cake in the food box was sprinkled all over the ground, and the lady of the Wang family protected her son's iron rod with one hand, and twisted the ears of the ingots with all her strength with the other hand, and scolded in her mouth: "You have a little wild seed that is not raised by a mother!" ”

Song Qian suddenly became angry, and quickly stepped forward to push the person to the ground. The lady of the Wang family and the iron rod fell to the ground together, grinning in pain.

"Yuanbao, my mother is here." Song Qian looked at Yuanbao's reddened ears and dust, and held him in his arms in distress.

Yuan Bao held back his tears and waved his fist at the mother and son of the Wang family who got up, and his tone was full of anger: "If you talk about my mother, I will knock out your front teeth!" ”

Yuan Bao carried the food box and went to find Da Zhuang with joy, not wanting to encounter the iron rod halfway to grab something, the ingots refused to give, and the iron rod spoke ill words, and all the insulting words that the Wang family lady learned to insult Song Qian came out. The two fought, and the lady of the Wang family rushed to shout indiscriminately to beat Yuanbao, and the scene that Song Qian saw appeared.

"You wild seed! See if I don't kill you today! ”

The lady of the Wang family was about to chase and fight, Song Qian protected the ingots behind her, raised her hand and slapped her hard, this slap made the lady of the Wang family dizzy and stunned in place for a long time.

Song Qian's eyes were full of anger, and his tone was much colder: "What are you?" Do you dare to move the ingots with a finger to try today? ”

The lady of the Wang family did not want to lose her arrogance, and continued to provoke: "What are you? A prostitute who colluded with someone to give birth to a wild seed! You have the ability to kill me! Relying on the support of a wild man, he rode on the head of the old lady? ”

There were more and more onlookers, and when they heard such vicious words from the lady of the Wang family, they couldn't help but talk about it.

"How can you say this in front of your child."

"It's too much, no wonder the son who taught him is a little robber!"

Many people saw the reason why ingots and iron rods were fighting, and they naturally attacked the lady of the Wang family like a mirror in their hearts.

Song Qian's face was gloomy, and he bent over to pick up the food box on the ground and walked towards the lady of the Wang family: "Today, you see if I dare or not." At this time, she was like a life-seeking Yama, and the lady of the Wang family was immediately frightened when she saw her moving, and she kept retreating with an iron rod.

Several people suddenly ran out of the crowd.

Changfeng saw this scene as soon as he arrived, separated the two without thinking too much, pulled Song Qian far away, and persuaded him: "Song Niangzi must not be impulsive, she is angry and has done something wrong!" ”

The people of the Wang family also came out to protect the lady of the Wang family and the iron rod, for fear that Song Qian would really start to kill.

"Although the village woman has an unclean mouth and people look vicious and villainous, she is not guilty to death!" Changfeng's words were so loud that the villagers couldn't help but laugh secretly when they heard it.

The lady of the Wang family couldn't hold her face when she was humiliated by such words, but she didn't dare to provoke Song Qian, so she could only hide behind her family and grit her teeth.

Changfeng persuaded as he took down the food bowl in Song Qian's hand and threw it into the distance.

Song Qian also regained some of his senses, bent over to pick up the ingots, and threatened the Wang family: "Your life is so regretful, if there is a next time, your cheap life will not be guaranteed." ”

After that, Song Qian walked through the crowd with the ingots and left.

When Changfeng was leaving, he glanced at the Wang family with gloomy eyes, and wrote down this account in his heart, and waited until he got it back in the future.

"You stinky woman provoke her! I think my Wang family has had enough of a good life, right? "The man of the Wang family was angry when he saw people leaving, if it wasn't for others to stop this slap, it would have fallen on the face of the lady of the Wang family.

"You feel sorry for her, you go to be the father of that wild seed! I'm not afraid of her, if she has the ability, she will really send my life to Lord Yama! ”

"You stinky bitch, don't stop talking!"

A farce was immediately staged next to the well.

Song Qian didn't care about anything else, and walked quickly to the house with Yuan Bao all the way to give medicine to his injuries.

"Mother, I'm sorry, Yuanbao is in trouble."

Yuan Bao pursed his lips and said in a low voice, his face full of self-blame.

Song Qian's heart tightened and hugged him into his arms, and gently patted his back: "Don't blame the ingots, it's their fault." ”

There are many people in this village who can't accommodate their mother and son, and if the lady of the Wang family dares to provoke like this today, she may do something in the future.

For the sake of ingots, she also had to leave this realm earlier.
