The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Chapter 328 At Least I Have a Zhuangzi to Return to

"Of course, we still trust our son-in-law's character." Song Jinbao then changed the subject, "What are you doing, my in-laws?"

"Well," Xu Yongwang said, "it's getting cold, and I'm worried that the children won't be able to use firewood, so I went back to the village to get some firewood and burn some charcoal. The firewood we buy in the county is not only expensive, but it's not as good as the firewood we get ourselves."

Song Jinbao smiled awkwardly and said, "My in-laws are really thoughtful."

It turned out that there was no one in the yard when I first arrived because the Xu family members were busy.

It's not that I'm ignoring Tang'er.

They misunderstood.

Yes, if something really happened, they would definitely not treat their daughter like this.

Xu Yongwang laughed heartily. "My in-laws have so many children that I can't take care of them all. I only have two sons and a daughter-in-law right now. Shouldn't I be more thoughtful? I'm also looking forward to Qingye and his wife giving me a grandson soon. People my age would have become grandfathers years ago."

"That's right, my father-in-law." Song Jinbao said, looking at Song Yuntang, "Tang'er, did you hear what your father-in-law said? Get well soon and give birth to a big, fat boy for the Xu family next year. You look so sickly, it only makes people worry."

Xu Yongwang didn't expect Song Jinbao to say this to Song Yuntang, so he hurried forward to smooth things over.

"There's no need to rush this matter. Father-in-law, please don't put pressure on me." He turned to look at Jiang, "Why don't you make a cup of tea for us?"

Jiang was somewhat reluctant. After all, any discerning person could see that these people had ulterior motives.

But in front of outsiders, he did not offend Xu Yongwang.

The most important thing is that these people are Song Yuntang's elders. No matter what, it is not appropriate to break up with them. If someone with ulterior motives finds out, they might think that the Xu family looks down on their daughter-in-law.

"Look at me, I'm so clumsy. I actually forgot about this just now. I'll go and soak it now."

As he was about to go to the backyard, he was stopped by Zhao.

"Mother-in-law, don't bother. We also heard about the bandits and came to see Tang'er. Since she is okay, we won't stay any longer."

When Song Hongfu, the head of Rongshu Village, heard that they were leaving, he hurriedly stood up and came to Song Yuntang.

He looked embarrassed.

"Yun Tang girl, you're also from Rongshu Village. I apologized to you for the unpleasantness we had before. I hope you don't take it to heart. I heard that you bought the Huang family's land. Is that true?"

Song Yuntang was actually feeling very uncomfortable, but he still managed to remain calm and said, "If the village head has anything to say, just say it directly."

Song Hongfu looked at her and said, "Look, you know the situation in our village. Life is tough for everyone. I'd like to ask you to rent an additional 300 mu of land on behalf of Rongshu Village for the villagers to farm. Is that possible?"

Song Yuntang lowered his eyes.

"Someone on my farm is in charge of the land. The village head might as well ask them. If there's any land available for rent, I'm sure they won't refuse."

In fact, Song Hongfu had already asked this question before coming.

The newly set land rent is low and the risk is small, so everyone is scrambling to rent it. The land that can be rented has already been contracted, otherwise he would not have come to Song Yuntang to ask for this.

Song Hongfu had a flattering look on his face.

"We are all surnamed Song. Even if we break bones, we still have tendons. Can you please be flexible?"

The other two elders of the Song family also helped to intercede.

"Yes, Yuntang girl, after all, we are all from the same family. Please be flexible and grant some land to the village so that everyone can live a better life."

Jiang stood aside with a nose that was not a nose and eyes that were not eyes.

"That's right. If Tang'er's land has already been rented out, and you ask her to take it back from other farmers and give it to you, wouldn't that be breaking her promise? Since someone is responsible for this matter, you can ask those responsible. Why bother making things difficult for a woman like her?"

"After all, she is from Rongshu Village, so it is safer to go to her," said one of the elders.

Song Jinbao and Zhao Qiao'e looked at each other.

They did not expect that the village head would make such a request at this time.

No wonder they said they wanted to find someone to support Tang'er. This old fox volunteered to step forward. He has never been so active before.

Jiang had been enduring it just now, but now that people were bullying her to the extreme, she refused to tolerate it.

"Don't you forget how Tang'er left Rongshu Village? She moved her household registration out of Rongshu Village before she got married. Don't you remember how you villagers framed her when she was in the village? Have you, the elders, ever stood up and said a word for her?"

"Tang'er's a bit more prosperous now, and you all are coming to call her your relative and talk about Qiao. Why is it so..."

At this point, Xu Yongwang hurriedly tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Wife, after all, you are Tang'er's family, so give her some face."

Jiang snorted and continued, "If it were anything else, I would have turned a blind eye, but now that Tang'er has married into our family, if you want to take advantage of her, you have to see if the people in Lushan Village are vegetarians."

The village head and others felt ashamed after hearing what she said, and turned to look at Song Jinbao and Zhao Qiao'e.

"After all, she's your daughter. Why don't you say something? If the village gets any benefits, won't your family also get a share?"

Song Jinbao stood up and said, "Uncle Hongfu, I really didn't expect you to bring up this matter today. Tang'er didn't say she wouldn't rent land to the village. What my mother-in-law said just now makes sense. We can go to her farm and ask. If there's any suitable land, we can rent it. If not, we can't force it, right?"

Zhao Qiao'e nodded quickly, "That's right."

Song Hongfu said angrily, "If she could still rent a place at her farm, why would I have to make this trip?"

Song Jinbao made things difficult.

"The fields are gone, and we can't ask Tang'er to break the contract."

Song Hongfu choked and his beard trembled with anger.

After a moment, he snorted and turned away.

Seeing this, the other two elders hurriedly followed.

After seeing the three people leave, Song Yuntang looked coldly at Zhao Qiao'e and Song Jinbao.

"Ever since I left Rongshu Village, I haven't harbored any illusions about you. I don't care whether you prefer Lin Zhaozhao or Li Zhaozhao. I just hope you can learn to distinguish right from wrong, and not just believe everything you hear, like you did today."

"I'm willing to care for you now, but only because you're my biological parents. If one day you destroy the little affection we have, even if you have to eat coarse food, it won't have anything to do with me. I hope you won't ask about my affairs in the future. Even if I'm really captured by bandits, even if the Xu family can't tolerate me one day, I at least have a farm to return to, not Rongshu Village."

As he spoke, his eyes felt a little sore.

"Go away, don't come to me from now on. I don't want to see you."
