Chapter 401 Situation
She didn't want to say it, but Li couldn't help but scold her, "Your brother runs dozens of miles back and forth every day, and you don't feel sorry for him at all. You are worse than an outsider. People know how to understand his hard work and let him live at home.
Since you are so cruel now, when your brother becomes successful and becomes an official in the government, don't bother him if he has problems."
"Don't worry, I will never bother him, and he'd better not bother me again. We'll just be strangers from now on." Song Ying was speechless. Listening to Li's tone, she seemed quite proud of being a hanger-on to Song Tian.
You don't hold any position, you just run errands for others. Do you really think you can become a government official?
Also, if I really become a yamen runner, my descendants won’t even be able to take the imperial examinations in the future.
"Okay, okay, now that you don't recognize any of your relatives, you don't even need to recognize me as your grandmother."
Song Ying was able to keep his temper when arguing with Li, and simply said, "According to what you said, Song Tian doesn't care about my affairs, and he doesn't recognize his relatives. Or you asked him to do so. It seems that it's right for him to ignore my relatives, but it's not right for me to ignore his relatives."
Seeing that Li was very angry, Song Yuan quickly poured a bowl of water and handed it to her, "Grandma, do you want some water?"
"I'm not thirsty," Li was very touched by his thoughtfulness and concern, and replied in a pleasant manner. Then she turned around and glared at Song Ying, "You are a stern-tongued immortal. Your words are as sharp as a knife. Even when you talk to the elders, they are full of thorns. Your words are very harsh. Who will dare to want you in the future?"
Song Yuan grabbed a handful of candy and tried to interrupt again: "Then grandma, you can eat the candy."
"I'm not eating now, you can eat if you want." Li replied, and then she thought of Xiaoxiang's matter and scolded her, "Xiaoxiang, her husband's family has already made arrangements, but you are not like me, you have no idea what to do."
Song Ying rolled his eyes, pretending not to know about this, and asked in surprise: "Xiaoxiang asked for a kiss?"
"Yes, She, you think you are like me, pretending to be smart every day. It has been so long since your birthday, and no one has come to propose marriage. You really think you are so popular just because you have learned some medical skills. You look down on this and that every day."
Song Ying wanted to complain, as she was still an adult, but in order to know more from Li, she did not interrupt her.
Song Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, took a small stool and sat down next to Song Ying. Knowing that she was concerned about Xiaoxiang, he said, "It's Mr. Gong's family in Sanyuan Village, from the same village as Xiaocui's in-laws. The family is quite well-off, but the man is much older than Xiaoxiang, about 21 or 22 years old. He had a wife before, but she died of illness two years ago."
Before Song Ying could speak, Li said again: "If you don't listen to the elders, you will suffer. I taught you to be gentle and obedient, but you didn't listen at all. Look at Xiaoxiang, she listened to her mother and now she is talking about how good her in-laws are. The family of the Juren master is a family of scholars!
Don’t think that you and Yan Xing are city dwellers now and think that you are very impressive. In a few decades, you will see that you two are not as good as Xiao Xiang. She will be an official’s wife in the future. You will have to kneel down and kowtow to her when you see her. You will regret it then!”
At this time, Yang had finished cutting vegetables and went to replace Uncle Song to light the fire. Hearing this, she interrupted and said, "That may not be the case. I heard that the two sons of the Gong family were not good at studying and are still white-collar workers."
Because Song Ying didn't talk back, after a while of scolding, Li's anger was not so strong anymore, so she talked to Yang about Xiaoxiang's marriage, "Her father-in-law is still young, and he is a juren, so he can find some connections to get his two sons small official positions.
Even if the son is not good enough, there is still the grandson, and if the grandson is not good enough, there is still the great-grandson. After all, Mr. Gong is a juren, and he has knowledge, so he can always raise one. "
Yang was still not optimistic. "Even if he was looking for a connection, he should have found one for his eldest son. Doesn't the younger son Xiaoxiang wants to marry have a problem with his feet? In this case, he can't be an official, right?"
Song Ying's eyes narrowed. "Is there something wrong with your foot? What's the problem? Is he lame?"
"What do you mean by cripple or lame? He just has a bit of a handicap in his legs, but it doesn't affect his walking." Li glared at Song Ying fiercely, "If you have the ability to please him, I will happily marry you even if he is paralyzed in bed."
Song Ying couldn't help but say, "Don't even think about it. I won't marry a cripple!"
"You're still talking back at me. Do you have any say over these things? I'm telling you, don't make me angry. If you really make me angry, I'll tell you that I'll have to tell you about your mother-in-law's family."
Song Ying was not afraid of her threats and retorted, "You didn't get angry, but you told your second aunt about the vicious mother-in-law's family. You said that Xiaoxiang got a lot of benefits by marrying a lame widower.
He is so much older than Xiaoxiang, has a limp, and has been married. How can this be considered a good marriage?
Xiaoxiang has good character and looks, and she knows about herbs and can read. She can find any good family. Why did they choose a lame widower? Uncle Zhao Hu and Aunt Zhang, are they selling their daughter for fame and fortune?"
Li Wu, the son-in-law, was a stain on Li's life. Li was so angry that she grabbed the baking tray and wanted to throw it at her, but she didn't really do it because she was concerned about Song Yuan who was sitting next to her. "You damn woman, you are so mean every day. They are Xiaoxiang's biological parents, and you sold their daughter for fame. Why do you think so bad of them every day!"
After the whole night, Li and Yang didn't say anything else, and it seemed that they didn't know much about the situation of the Gong family. The next day, Song Ying and Luo Yanxing went to Xiaoxiang's house early in the morning and finally waited for Xiaoxiang to go out to work.
Seeing them, Xiaoxiang was shocked, "Why are you two back?"
Luo Yanxing grabbed her and pulled her to a corner where no one was around. "Song Ying came back yesterday and told me that you were engaged. We were worried, so we came back to ask you, have you met the man? I heard that he's not only a widower, but also a cripple. How could Aunt Zhang marry you to such a man?"
Obviously, Luo Yanxing also learned a lot from her parents last night.
Song Ying also asked repeatedly: "What kind of person is he? Is he good-tempered? How is he to his family? Does he care about his family?"
"You came back specially for this." Xiaoxiang was very touched.
Luo Yanxing rolled his eyes at her and said, "If you had quietly gone to the back of the clinic with Song Ying yesterday and explained everything, we wouldn't have had to make this special trip. Just tell us what happened."
Xiaoxiang was a little shy: "I only saw him once, when I went to visit my cousin's family during the Chinese New Year. His mother brought him along in the name of collecting rent. I only took a few glances at him. How could I tell his personality in such a short time?
But he is quite handsome, and he just limps a little when he walks, but he is not a cripple. And he is a scholar, so his temper should not be very bad. "
