Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 310 Persuasion

After comforting Xiaoju, the girl turned around and glared at Yuan Shan, saying viciously, "Are you brothers and sisters from our village? We have said this many times before, but you brothers and sisters just didn't lead us and didn't help us guess the lantern riddles, but last year you helped the girl from Xinghua Village guess.

This year you did the same thing, playing with the girls from Xinghua Village. You are trying to curry favor with the people from Xinghua Village, why didn't they bring you along when they were collecting herbs to make money?

If you have any problems in the future, don’t ask our people for help. Just ask the people from Xinghua Village to help you!"

"Hmph, you can't be the boss of the family." Yuan Shan didn't care at all.

Song Ying frowned, handed the lantern in his hand to a child, walked over, held the two girls who were about to leave and said, "Sister Yuan Shan was joking with you. She gave gifts to strangers, so why wouldn't she give gifts to you? Come on, pick whichever lantern you like."

As she spoke, she pushed the lantern on the ground towards the two of them.

Xiaoju turned her head away and was about to speak when Luo Yanxing came over and interrupted, "Yeah, pick one quickly. Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you properly for what happened before."

Her reminder reminded the two girls that the girl from Xinghua Village had asked them about He Tianyu before and asked them to help keep an eye on the He family. She would tell them as soon as He Tianyu returned to the He family.

Unfortunately, He Tianyu didn't come back until the Chinese New Year, and at that time, they all had to help their family prepare for the New Year. They rarely went to the mountains and had never met the girl from Xinghua Village.

Although I didn't help them in the latter part, I did help them in the former part, so we have a good relationship, so taking one lamp is not a big deal.

Besides, as Song Ying said just now, gifts are given by strangers.

Thinking of this, Xiaoju picked one and then snorted at Yuan Shan, "It's not your lantern."

The other girl also quickly picked one and snorted at Yuan Shan.

Yuan Shan's eyes turned red with anger, and she yelled at Song Ying and Luo Yanxing, "They left me behind and didn't take me to play with them, so why did you give them lanterns?"

Song Ying frowned. Although the explanation just now was given to the two girls from Wutong Village, it was also given to Yuan Shan. She and Yan Xing had explained it clearly enough.

She thought of Yuan Qing's kindness and explained again frankly: "They helped us before, so we should thank them. Besides, if they give gifts to strangers but not to their friends in the neighboring village, are they even worse than strangers?"

"But, but they don't want to play with me today!" Yuan Shan felt very aggrieved.

On the first day of the new year, Zhou Meiyue couldn't stand Yuan Shan's arrogance, so she said rudely: "That's the grudge between you two. This lantern was won by Song Ying and Brother Lin. Song Ying has no grudge against them, so of course he should give it to them!"

Yuan Shan didn't know how to respond, and wiped away her tears in anger, "If you want to send me off, you're not my friend. I won't play with you anymore!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Song Ying and others really disliked Yuan Shan's temper, but they couldn't let her leave alone. As more and more people were on the street, they wondered what would happen if something happened.

She sighed softly and said to Luo Yanxing and the others, "I'll go after her, you guys continue to deliver lanterns."

Song Ying trotted to catch up with Yuan Shan and held her hand.

Yuan Shan struggled angrily: "Let me go, I don't want to play with you anymore!"

"So where are you going now? Continue to visit the Lantern Festival or go back to the village? If you don't play with us, where are you going to stay at night? If you go back to the village, it will be dark soon. Do you want to go back alone?"

Yuan Shan stopped moving for a moment. Yes, the reason why she followed the girl from Xinghua Village was because she had a falling out with the girls from her own village. They would not take her with them, and it was not safe for her to walk back to the village alone at night.

If she had a falling out with the girl from Xinghua Village now, what would she do tonight?

Although she was already timid in her heart, Yuan Shan still said stubbornly: "Don't threaten me, I'm going to find my brother. I'm not alone. I have a backer in the city. Who wants to be with you guys?"

"Your brother lives in the academy, and his classmates are all boys. If you go to find him, he will have to find an inn and book a room for you to stay for the night.

You are an unmarried girl. For your innocent reputation, your brother will not let you stay in the inn alone, so you have to book two rooms. Today is the Lantern Festival, and the inns in the county are not cheap. Can you hide this from your grandmother?"

Yuan Shan shuddered. She couldn't hide it, and she couldn't hide it.

Even if she lied and said she was staying at her brother's classmate's house, it would still damage her reputation, because her brother's classmates were all men, so she certainly couldn't hide it.

If grandma knew about the rent for two rooms, she would beat her to death!

Seeing that she was frightened, Song Ying quietly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to persuade her earnestly: "I know you have friction with them, but you can't just think about this matter from your own perspective.

You should also think about me. I have no grudges against them. On the contrary, they have helped me before. I gave lanterns to strangers today, but not to my friends in the neighboring village. If this gets out, how will others see me? What will happen to my reputation?"

Yuan Shan bit her lip, feeling very aggrieved, "I just said I wouldn't give it to them, and you turned around and rejected me. How can I save face?"

Song Ying: ...

The lantern is not yours.

"So I told you that you were joking with them before."

Yuan Shan pursed her lips and thought about it. If she had followed Song Ying's words and said it was a joke, the matter would have been over and others would not have thought she was stingy.

In the final analysis, it's my own fault that things are like this now.

After realizing this, her anger towards Song Ying and Luo Yanxing subsided. But now she couldn't go back with a face as many people had seen what happened.

"I'll be waiting for you here. Come find me when you've delivered all the lanterns."

Hearing this, Song Ying knew that he had stopped trying, and said, "I'll stay here with you. They'll come over after they've delivered the lanterns."

After standing there for a while, she found a man selling candy figures not far away, so she said, "Let's go over there and buy some candy figures."

Yuan Shan also felt that it was a bit silly to just stand here and wait, and she didn't know if she was overthinking it, but she always felt that people passing by were looking at her and pointing at her, and they seemed to be the crowd that was watching just now.

After buying the candy man, they waited for a while, and Luo Yanxing and others came over. Before they could ask, Song Ying held up the candy man and said, "We bought the candy man, come and eat it!"

"We agreed that I will pay for tonight's food, drinks and entertainment." Luo Yanxing frowned and handed over her gorgeous lantern.

"I know. Just give me the money later." Song Ying happily took the lantern and shook the hand holding the candy man.

Luo Yanxing took a candy man and signaled the others who hadn't gotten one to come and get one quickly.
