Chapter 373 Tell me, what do you want to know?
Song Yuntang looked at him in surprise.
"Second brother just said it's too early to call me sister-in-law before we get married, but now you're worrying about your future mother-in-law? You're clearly allowing the officials to set fires but not the people to light lamps."
Song Jinsheng became anxious and hurried to explain.
"That was not what I meant……"
Looking at his anxious face, Song Yuntang smiled.
"Okay, I'm just teasing you," she said. "Aunt Cui's health has been failing in recent years, and she really needs someone to look after her. As long as it doesn't interfere with the business at the shop, I have no objection to you taking her to the provincial capital. But she doesn't know many people there besides you, and she might not be used to it after a long time."
Song Jinsheng looked at her and asked, "Tang'er, do you have any good ideas?"
"When you go back to town, ask her what she thinks. Tell her that I want her to stay with Aunt Miao and help her take care of the chores on the farm. If she's willing, she can go. If not, forget it."
There are many people in Zhuangzi, so I guess he won’t be lonely.
At that time, ask the people in the village to be careful so that any problems can be discovered in time.
Mu Dong and Mu Qiu can now concentrate on dealing with matters in the provincial capital.
Hearing this, Song Jinsheng felt warm in his heart.
"Tang'er is so thoughtful."
Song Yuntang stood up and said, "It's time for lunch. Second brother, have lunch at the clinic before heading to the provincial capital."
……
The day after Song Jin was born, his second uncle's cousin Fulai came to the county town with his eldest cousin to deliver goods. He came to the clinic and first thanked Song Yuntang for saving his mother and sister, and then asked her about Ma and Song Zhimei.
Song Yuntang didn't know the specific details, he just told him the general location and asked him to find it himself.
Seeing that Song Yuntang was busy treating patients, Song Fulai did not disturb her. He said goodbye to her and went out to look for Ma and Song Zhimei.
After all, they are blood relatives.
Having fallen on hard times like this, how could I really just ignore it?
After Song Yuntang finished seeing the last patient of the morning, an attendant trotted into the clinic, walked around the screen and saluted Song Yuntang.
"Doctor Song, our young master is at the small teahouse on the north street. I'd like to invite you over for a chat."
Song Yuntang knew this follower, who was close to Yang Linyuan.
Yang Linyuan came to see her?
Song Yuntang couldn't help but guess in his heart that it might be because of Jiang Surao.
Since he has come to me, as a business partner, I should go and meet him.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
She packed her things and led Xia Ning out of the clinic.
After walking a short distance to the north, I suddenly saw a familiar figure appear on the opposite side of the road.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Song Yuntang was not sure if he had seen it wrong, so he shouted.
"Jiang Zhiyan?"
When the woman heard Song Yuntang's voice, she turned her head and looked over, with a look of surprise in her eyes.
"Miss Song?"
Seeing that it was indeed the sister who had sold the courtyard to her before, Song Yuntang looked at the attendant leading the way and said, "Shuyi, go ahead and tell Young Master Yang, I'll follow soon."
The follower named Shuyi didn't say anything, nodded slightly and went to the teahouse first.
Song Yuntang came to Jiang Zhiyan and Sun Tianer, who looked a little disheveled.
"Sister Jiang and Tian'er, why are you dressed like this? Where are you going?"
She spent two hundred and sixty taels of silver to buy the courtyard where she lived. Logically speaking, with such a large sum of money in her hands, plus the money she already had, if nothing unexpected happened, the mother and daughter should be able to live a good life.
Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid something unexpected happened.
Jiang Zhiyan's eyes were red.
He looked at her somewhat embarrassedly.
"Don't be afraid of Miss Song laughing at you. Although I have relatives in Xinghua Village, my parents are both dead, and Tian'er and I are not living a peaceful life in the old house. Today we have less food, tomorrow we have less money, and the day after tomorrow Tian'er is being bullied by some naughty kid. I think I'll just endure it and get through this winter. When the weather warms up next year, I'll find a way to take Tian'er out to do some small business to make a living."
"But the villagers couldn't find food, so they set their sights on my mother and me. They wanted to sell me to a squire as a concubine and Tian'er to a pawnbroker as a servant. They also wanted to take our valuables to the town and exchange them for silver, so they could put the money together to buy some food for the village through the winter."
"Luckily, there was a kind-hearted aunt in the village who quietly told me when no one was paying attention. I then ran away from the village with Tian'er overnight."
This practice is like eating meat and drinking blood, which is outrageous!
Fortunately, she was a low-key person in her daily life and did not reveal that she had money. She only told others that her family was bankrupt, her husband died, and she was kicked out by her in-laws. She had nowhere to go, so she brought her children back to the village.
What was taken away before were all small change that she had hidden in various corners.
The five hundred taels of silver notes in his hand were usually sewn into a bellyband and worn on his body. He did not dare to take it out for fear that someone else would steal it.
This means there is no man in the family.
If there had been a man standing there, she and her child would not have been bullied like this.
After listening to this, Song Yuntang pointed to the other end of the street.
"Go in this direction. There's a Xinglin Clinic not far ahead. I own it. I told Sister Jiang before that if you have nowhere to go in the future, you can come find me. If Sister Jiang is willing, go there and wait for me. I'm in a hurry to meet someone right now, so I don't have much time to chat with you."
Jiang Zhiyan nodded with gratitude.
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. Tian'er and I will wait for you at the clinic."
She has now left Xinghua Village. If no one protects her, she and Tian'er will have nowhere to go.
Song Yuntang nodded slightly and led Xia Ning into the small teahouse.
There was a thick curtain hanging at the door of the small teahouse to prevent the cold air outside from entering the teahouse. There was also a charcoal brazier burning inside, which made it much warmer than outside.
Yang Linyuan was sitting in a small teacup seat by the window. When he saw Song Yuntang come in, he hurriedly waved to her.
"Doctor Song, here."
Hearing his address, Song Yuntang smiled.
"Young Master Yang has started calling me Doctor Song now."
Yang Linyuan smiled and took the kettle to make a pot of tea, then poured her a cup of hot tea.
"Doctor Song is a very busy man right now. I've been waiting here all morning until you finally have some free time."
Outside the window, a woman dressed as a woman passed by and looked in the direction of the small teahouse. When she saw Song Yuntang, a gloating look flashed in her eyes. She smiled coldly and went to Liuqiao Street.
Song Yuntang picked up the teacup in front of him, blew on it, and took a sip.
"Everything is going smoothly in business right now, and the revenue of the shop in the provincial capital is also relatively stable. If I'm not mistaken, Young Master Yang came to me because of A Rao."
As she spoke, she put down the cup in her hand and looked at the handsome man opposite her.
Yang Linyuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Doctor Song is very intelligent. He knew what I was going to ask without me even having to ask."
Song Yuntang leaned back in his chair, folded his arms across his chest, and looked calm and composed.
"Tell me, what do you want to know?"
