Chapter 446: Troublemaking
Chapter 446: Troublemaking
With her interruption, Yang stopped praising Yang Chao's hunting skills and finally remembered the original topic, "Chao Wa wants to sell wild boars, and the family decided to let my mother come to the city to take a look. It's reassuring to have a big boy like him accompany us.
As soon as we entered the city, someone came to ask about the wild boar, offering 60 coins per pound. This child was very honest and wanted to sell it. Fortunately, Yuanwa saw him and took him to the wealthy families who often bought our eels. After a while, they were all sold out, 120 coins per pound..."
Well, he started praising Yang Chao again, and also praised his own family.
However, being honest and simple is not an advantage for her.
Song Ying curled his lips secretly, felt the pulse carefully, and asked about the old woman's illness. The old woman hesitated for a long time and said, "My waist is very sore, and my knees hurt a lot when it rains."
Without waiting for Song Ying to answer, Li said, "Then let Song Ying give you acupuncture. I had this problem before, and she gave me acupuncture a few times, and it got much better."
"Really?" The old lady of the Yang family was very surprised. What she said was just an excuse, but it actually worked!
"Of course it's true. Many women in this city have this problem. She hasn't even become a master yet, but she's been asked to have acupuncture."
The old woman of the Yang family looked at Song Ying expectantly.
"I'll give you acupuncture in a while." Song Ying asked her to change her hand and continue to feel her pulse. After finishing, he said, "You are a little weak. Prescribe a better diet and eat more meat."
Then, she took the old woman of the Yang family to the inner room for acupuncture. Outside, Yang sighed repeatedly and complained to Doctor Ma, "How many of us poor people have good health? We can hardly eat meat and oil a few times a year, let alone have enough to eat.
"My mother is so lucky. She has a granddaughter like Song Ying. We can also benefit from her and eat meat every now and then. In the past two years, when we go out, everyone asks if our family has become rich. Everyone has a rosy face."
Doctor Ma smiled. Although he knew a lot about the Song family, he could only say at this time: "This child is grateful. She knows that it is not easy for you to raise her."
Yang was very modest. "We are a family, there is no need to be indebted to each other. Now that she is growing up, if we can find a family that knows her well, we will be completely relieved. It will also be an explanation to our deceased brother and sister-in-law."
Song Ying in the room rolled her eyes when she heard this. She hadn't been talked about like this in several years and she was a little uncomfortable.
Perhaps because she hadn't said it for a long time, or perhaps because she was worried that Doctor Ma knew a lot of the inside story, Yang didn't feel comfortable continuing to praise her family for raising Song Ying, and instead asked Doctor Ma, "Can I only eat domestic pork to replenish my body, or can wild game from the mountains also be used?"
Hearing this, Song Ying almost reflexively felt that Yang had another purpose. She wanted Yang Chao to send some game to her mother to nourish her body. The only person in the house who was directly related to game was Yang Chao, who knew how to hunt.
Doctor Ma outside was also stunned for a moment, and looked at Yang Chao and Yang thoughtfully, then he thought again and replied, "Of course, game is more nutritious."
Seeing that he didn't persuade Chao Wa like the others did, Yang was a little disappointed. She smiled and said, "I seem to have heard someone say that wild game is more nutritious, but I'm not sure. Chao Wa, next time you hunt wild game, sell it directly to your great-aunt. Bringing it to the city will waste time."
After that, he shouted to the old lady of the Yang family in the house: "Mom, don't be reluctant, just eat when you need to. Your body is your own, and we are all family. Chao Wa will never fool you with fake goods."
She emphasized the word "family".
We are all family. My great-aunt needed game to nourish her body, but my nephew did not hurry to give her some to show his filial piety, but sold it to her. If this gets out, it would be strange if Yang Chao's reputation would be good.
Faced with all this, I don’t know whether Yang Chao didn’t understand or what, he didn’t respond and just remained silent.
Song Ying was somewhat amused and could not help but vent his anger by exposing Yang's tricks, "Second Aunt, yellow eels are also very good for people, let Second Uncle send some to honor mother-in-law.
Oh, by the way, grandma needs it too, and we cook it occasionally at home. If second uncle is reluctant to give it away, just think of it as me buying it to honor grandma."
Yang's face outside suddenly turned pale and blue, and it looked ugly.
Doctor Ma cleared his throat, suppressed his smile, and agreed seriously: "Swinhoe eel is indeed very nourishing. It replenishes qi and blood, nourishes the liver and kidneys, strengthens the bones and muscles, and can also eliminate rheumatism. For those of you who often suffer from back pain, leg pain, and severe rheumatism, eating snake eel is very suitable for you."
Yang's expression became even more unhappy, and she said awkwardly, "Is that so? How would we mountain villagers know such things?"
"It's a good thing, otherwise why would those wealthy families buy it every few days?" Song Ying continued in the house, and said meaningfully: "Grandma is the same. She can't bear to spend money on things, and she can't bear to spend money on things. She has only eaten yellow eel a few times a year."
Now, not only Yang, but also Li looked unhappy. However, the old lady of the Yang family who was receiving acupuncture in the room was tempted, "Can yellow eel really cure rheumatism?"
Song Ying nodded, "That's right."
The old lady of the Yang family said, "Lanwa, then ask Fu'an to send some money over later, and I'll ask your eldest brother to give you the money you deserve."
Li's face trembled and she forced a smile, "What are you talking about, mother-in-law? You are his mother-in-law, he should respect you, what's the point of talking about buying or not buying."
"How can that be possible? Tianwa and Yuanwa are growing up day by day, and there are many places in the family where money is needed. How can I take it for free?"
"No matter how short of money we are at home, we cannot accept money from my mother-in-law. If this gets out, what will become of our Song family?"
Song Ying happily listened to Li's painful refusal, feeling very relieved.
In the past, people always said that Uncle Song worked hard to support the family and to catch eels, but she had never spent the money from selling eels on her, nor had she eaten them much. However, she used this excuse to coax her into working, and even told others that she would catch eels for her to eat.
She felt that she was too conservative before. Why did she only compare herself with Song Tian and Song Yuan? In some aspects, she could also compare with Second Uncle Song.
For example, Uncle Song supported his family and caught eels, but the family seldom ate meat or eels throughout the year. Now she buys meat back every now and then, which has helped them to get into good health.
After the topic went off track, the atmosphere became very bad and Yang was no longer in the mood to mediate.
The He family on the other side.
He Tianyu led the maid into her courtyard through the back door. The maid finally let go of her worries and couldn't help but persuade her, "Miss, don't do this in the future. It's too dangerous and useless. The two families are relatives. If the elders intend to arrange a marriage, there is no way to prevent it..."
As the curtain was opened, the maid saw Madam He sitting inside. She turned pale with fear, "Madam."
He Tianyu's expression also changed, "Mom, why are you here?"
