Song Xiangsi's old face turned red. With a "pei", he went back to his work, holding in his anger.
'She really can't be nice to this man. He really knows how to push his luck! '
After the two of them were done with their work, Song Xiangsi went to the courtyard to retrieve her clean fur. Then, she brought it to the woodshed and placed a cushion on Meng Fanxuan.
Although the rabbit hair was too small, they could still be used after combining several pieces together. At the very least, it was better than nothing.
Meng Ling Xuan was standing by the door, lazily leaning against the doorframe. His heavy gaze fell on her slender body, and slightly flickered.
This little girl did things cleanly and decisively. She had all sorts of strange and odd things in her head. Sometimes, even he was unable to keep up with her.
Song Xiangsi turned her head and coincidentally met those black eyes. She could not help but tremble inwardly, but in the next moment, she widened her eyes and fiercely stared back. imitating Meng Ling Xuan's actions, she ridiculed him with a smile that was not a smile:
"If you want to watch me, I'll watch. Why are you trying to sneak around? A man is as shy as a woman …"
"I was just looking at it openly." Meng Fanxuan raised an eyebrow. It was as he said.
Song Xiangsi choked. She suddenly felt that what he said was reasonable. She shook her head and coughed lightly with one hand on her lips while concealing the awkwardness within her heart without batting an eyelid.
"Yes, the bed has been arranged for you. You should get some rest."
With that, she left as if she was fleeing.
At night, Song Xiangsi lay on the bed, but did not sleep.
Third sister and brother squeezed together two quilts. Fortunately, the weather was warm, so it wasn't too cold. The two little guys were soundly asleep. Listening to their breathing, the corners of Song Xiangsi's lips could not help but curl up.
She didn't have family in her previous life, so she didn't tell anyone about it. In this life, the heavens had given her two cute little brothers and sisters. Even though the two of them were very young, they couldn't do anything for her.
However, Song Xiangsi could clearly feel the two little fellows' absolute reliance on her. This feeling of being trusted made her happy. She swore to herself that she would definitely improve their living conditions and bring them into wealth, leading them to live a good life.
However, the huge problem before her right now was the Song Family.
Previously, when she wanted to split up, the Song Family refused to let Song Cheng go. This was a huge problem.
If they couldn't split up, then no matter how much money she earned in the future, Song Dabao and née Wang would definitely cause trouble. With their insatiable greed, how much money they had wouldn't be able to satisfy them.
Song Xiangsi sighed inwardly. She could only take things one step at a time and find an opportunity to bring up the matters of the branch family.
As she thought about it, she fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Song Xiang thought about how to make dough out of the flour he had bought yesterday. Then, he steamed it in a pot and used wild vegetables to cook two simple dishes.
His younger brother and sister gobbled their food, the smile on their faces unable to stop.
The Song Family was poor to begin with, and their daily rations were only enough to feed Song Dabao and Lady Wang. Their mothers could only eat chaff, but even worse, they couldn't eat chaff, so they could only pick up some wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.
Looking at the smiles on the two kids' faces, Song Xiangsi was even more determined in her heart to bring them along to make a fortune and live a good life.
Meng Ling Xuan slowly ate some of the dishes on the table. His movements were graceful and graceful, but he didn't stop at all.
It had to be said that he had truly fallen in love with this girl's cooking. Even the wild vegetables on the mountain were cooked to such a delicious degree.
After a meal, all four of them were full. Song Xiangsi watched as Meng Ling Xuan put the last piece of food into his mouth and couldn't help but laugh. She was extremely happy.
She felt a sense of accomplishment that her dishes were liked.
Actually, Song Xiangsi was also a picky eater when it came to food, so she never made do, even if it was wild vegetables. She had tirelessly used hot water to search for it many times, and then used her special technique to get rid of the bitter taste in it. That was why it was so tasty.
After having breakfast, Meng Ling Xuan helped to clean up the dishes. He then bid his farewells to Song Xiangsi before leaving the room.
His younger brother and sister had all gone to the village to play with the children. Song Xiangsi had nothing to do, so after some thought, she took out the money she had hidden away and counted it.
She wanted to split up and settle the bill, but she needed to properly plan for the distribution of the money.
When her mother died, she didn't touch the ten taels of silver she got from née Wang. She still kept them safe and sound.
In Song Xiangsi's heart, this was the only way for the Lin Clan to survive. Not a single cent was wasted on the blade.
Ten taels of silver in this poor little village was not a small sum of money, but if he really wanted to spend it on something, it would be too little.
She thought to herself, first use this money to make a small business, then earn some money, and then let her brother and sister go to school.
It didn't matter if it was ancient or modern, only people like them who had experienced hardships would be able to truly establish their foothold in this world by studying and gaining fame.
More importantly, she hoped that her brother and sister would learn more and change their minds.
Because of the Lin Clan's years of tolerance, these two little fellows had actually cultivated a kind of servility.
"Great!" "Stupid girl, you hid so much money to not honor your father, but now you're using it to raise a pretty boy. Your father will beat you to death today, you shameless bitch!"
Just as Song Xiangsi was lost in her thoughts, she heard an angry gritting sound. Next, Song Dabao broke into the room with a stick in his hand and charged straight at Song Xiangsi.
He had been planning to come over and teach Song Xiangsi a lesson ever since Meng Ling left. After waiting for a long time and seeing that that person had indeed not returned, he ran over. Coincidentally, he happened to run over just in time to catch Song Xiangsi counting the money.
He ignored his original goal – to teach others a lesson when he was rich. That would be fine in the future. Now, he had to get the silver.
Seeing Song Dabao pouncing towards her with bloodshot eyes, Song Xiangsi's gaze turned cold. With one hand holding the silver tael, she dodged to the side to avoid the incoming staff with all her strength.
Now that she had recovered well and also trained frequently, Song Dabao couldn't do anything to her.
Song Dabao was also surprised by Song Xiangsi's nimble skills, but he did not think too much about it. All he could think about was the money in her hands.
"Stupid girl, your old man hit you and you still dare to hide? Don't think that you've found a backer, hmph — don't you think that your old man will beat you to death and see how you'll use your old man's money to feed a wild man!"
Song Dabao brandished the stick that was as thick as his arm and danced towards Song Xiangsi once again.
Song Xiangsi glanced at him coldly and smiled coldly. Her voice was as sharp as ice and brought along a bone-piercing chill as she coldly said, "Since you don't know how to be a father, I'll teach you."
