Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 147 Threat

Hearing her words, Li was so angry that she fell backwards and shouted, "I raised this damn woman in vain. If I had known she was an ungrateful person, I should have been cruel and pushed her into the urine bucket and drowned her!"

Yang was also very angry, "In order to feed you, we took out baskets of food, did we say anything?

Now that you have grown up and have some skills and can make money, you keep it a secret from your family. How can you be so good?"

Before she could point out that she was not filial, Song Ying said, "I didn't say I won't respect you in the future. Moreover, during the New Year, I gave you 20 coins.

Also, my younger brother also helped us collect herbs to make money, but he never gave you a penny."

At this point, Song Ying could only bring up Song Yuan and accuse her of being unfilial, even blaming her own son.

Yang was stunned for a moment before she recalled what she meant by the twenty cents. Her heart suddenly became excited. At that time, Song Ying and his friends had only been doing this for less than half a year, and they could easily take out twenty cents during the New Year. It seemed that collecting herbs could indeed make money!

"Besides, I am different from Song Tian and the others. I work every day, and I also contribute to the crops in the fields. Why can't I eat?" Song Ying continued to list the work he did without waiting for Yang's answer:

"Let's not talk about the distant past. When we were harvesting wheat, the wheat on the ground was so long that one row was so long. I harvested five rows in the morning, which was only a few rows less than you, Second Aunt. Song Tian only harvested one row at most.

Besides, I have to go home to cook breakfast for my younger brother, send him to school, and go home to dry the wheat. If you really count it up, how much less work do I do than you adults?"

The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. "I have done so much work, isn't it enough for me to eat three bowls of porridge a day? I just went to help others, don't other people give me three bowls of porridge to eat?

There are also the ducks at home. Since I bought them, I have been the one taking care of them most of the time. In the morning, I go out and drive them to the river and the fields to eat insects. In the evening, I have to cut a basket of grass for them to eat from time to time.

You raise them so well, they lay seven or eight eggs every day, and I only eat one a year. Grandma, you have to let me give half to Second Aunt;

And how much did I spend from the money I earned from selling duck eggs? I could only get half of three steamed buns for one penny;

Song Tian and his friends did nothing. Every time they went back to the county to sell duck eggs, they could eat a whole steamed bun. Sometimes, grandma, you would buy them other snacks, but you never bought them for me. "

"Are you saying I'm biased?" Li was shaking with anger. "Look at which girl in which family doesn't live like this? You're even comparing yourself with your brothers, who are boys."

"You are so biased. Stop saying all day that you treat us all the same! How are we the same? I'm not a fool. Can't I see it?" After yelling, Song Ying's tears rolled down.

She wiped away her tears fiercely, "I know that in your hearts, we girls are not as precious as boys. We don't ask you to love us as much as you do. We earn our own money, can't we be better to ourselves? We haven't delayed any work!"

The adults were left speechless by her series of questions.

Song Ying sniffed and continued, "Also, I didn't use my second uncle's money. My father had compensation money. When I was sick as a child, the money for medicine came from it. The money for making new clothes for the first time during the Chinese New Year this year also came from it.

And for your birthday, grandma, half of the money was paid by my second uncle, and the other half was paid from my father’s compensation.

I am not a freeloader, nor am I an ungrateful person! "

The villagers heard about this for the first time and were a little surprised. They knew that after Song Fuping died, the government gave him 50 taels of silver as compensation.

Song Ying was still young, so they naturally thought that after deducting the money for Song Fuping's funeral, the remaining money would be used for Song Ying and Li, and of course, for big things.

For example, Song Ying's dowry when she got married, Li's funeral when she was old and retired to the mountains, and the serious illness of the grandmother and grandson.

But the little money needed to buy cloth for making clothes actually comes from that money!

Song Fuan and his wife always say that they are supporting their niece, but they are unwilling to even pay for some cloth. How can this be called supporting?

For such a young child, the cloth for a set of clothes would cost at most ten cents.

Qian sighed and said, "No matter what, it's wrong for you to keep it to yourself. Since ancient times, as long as the family has not been divided, all the money earned must be handed over to the public.

This precedent cannot be set. If others follow your example, who will take care of the elderly at home? If this gets out and your reputation is ruined, who will dare to marry a girl from Xinghua Village in the future?"

"How can this be the same? We pay the government, how much money can we use for ourselves?" After saying this, Song Ying felt that this was not convincing enough, and said:

"And the rules for each family to hand over to the government are different. For example, in my great-grandfather's family, the private income of each room does not have to be handed over to the government as long as it does not delay the assigned work."

At this point, Song Ying's thoughts became clear again, and he continued: "This is the rule of our Song family. When my grandmother celebrated her birthday before, even though my father passed away, we still had to pay a portion of the money, and it was because of this reason.

On behalf of my father, as the eldest branch, I have to pay the same amount as my second uncle and his second branch. Since our eldest branch has not delayed our work in the fields, the extra money we earn naturally does not have to be handed over to the government!"

For a moment, Song Yingli straightened up and became more confident. She used to feel a little guilty about it, after all, they were hiding their earnings from their family.

Now that I think about it, this is not called hiding something from others, at least according to the rules of their Song family, it is not considered hiding something from others!

"Okay, okay!" Li was so angry that she laughed, "Since you are from the eldest wife's family, then don't live your life at the mercy of your second uncle and second aunt!"

Song Ying was stunned. "Are you going to separate me?"

Li was also stunned. After thinking about it, she realized that what she had just said did mean to give her granddaughter away.

She quickly calmed down and sneered, "Aren't you from the first wife's family? Which first wife's family needs to rely on the second wife's family for survival? Since the two families don't get along, let's split up."

"Division of the family," Song Ying murmured. She used to be extremely afraid of these two words, fearing that if she did not do well, her second uncle and second aunt would find excuses to divide the family.

Now, she heard these two words, but they were spoken by her own grandmother.

It turns out that when she was disobedient, the person who abandoned her might be her own grandmother.

Qian held Li's hand and advised, "Sister Li, please don't say such angry words. How can such a young child survive if he is separated from her?"

The other villagers also came to their senses and tried to persuade Li: "The child is disobedient, he should be beaten and scolded, what's the point of dividing the family or not."

"Yeah, there are times when both upper and lower teeth collide. It's inevitable that there will be conflicts when living under the same roof. Just talk it out."
