Eighties Sweetheart Wife

Chapter 13: Chapter 13 My Eldest Brother is a Little Charlatan_1 Chapter 13: Chapter 13 My Eldest Brother is a Little Charlatan_1 By this time, Old Mrs.

Song had already left the house with Big Sister Zhong and Accountant Li’s wife.

They were going to find those six old ladies and others who were at the scene.

Clerk Siaomei was stomping her feet in anger.

Just now, the notebook was already half filled out.

She muttered behind them, “Why doesn’t Brigade Leader Song take care of this?”

At this moment, Old Mrs.

Song didn’t defend her son, such as saying that if Lin Jia didn’t cry for help, who would know the truth?

After all, it was a matter between husband and wife.

But those words couldn’t be said.

She followed along and cursed, “That eldest son of mine is a good-for-nothing.

If I were the brigade leader, I’d lock up all the Wang family and whip them.

If they didn’t obey after one beating, I’d beat them twice, and if twice didn’t work, I’d beat them three times until they submitted!”

Clerk Siaomei’s eyes lit up, “Right, whip them!”

Big Sister Zhong gave the young clerk a stern look and hurriedly said, “Auntie, you can’t have such thoughts.

We don’t have that right.

It’s against the law.

Siaomei hasn’t been here for long and doesn’t understand the situation of us rural women.

It’s easy to say but hard to do.”

Old Mrs.

Song also sighed, “Yes, which couple doesn’t fight?

I’m not afraid of being laughed at.

When I was young, I was a real beauty, but not two years into marrying into the Song family, I aged ten years.

My mother-in-law was very tricky, always picking on me.

Old Man Song seemed soft-hearted, but when we argued, he wouldn’t hesitate to slap me either.

Later when I took up a kitchen knife, that’s when they both backed off…

Being a woman is truly hard, tiring, and unjust.”

They were all women, and so they fell silent.

But they didn’t mention Song Liang’s negligence anymore.

Over at the Song family’s place, Song Yunuan put the letter of commendation she had written into her bag, gave a piece of orange candy to her brother, and asked him to be good and obedient at home.

She told Xia Guilan, “Mom, I need to make another trip to the county town.

I’m going to mail a letter of commendation to the bus station, then I want to visit big brother.

Is there anything you want to send to him?”

Xia Guilan was worried when she heard her daughter was going to the county town again, “Go in a few days.

Besides, how are you planning to get there?”

“I heard grandma say that the brigade’s horse cart is going to the county town at one o’clock to haul fertilizer.

I’ll go with it, and I’ll stay with my uncle tonight and come back tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this, Old Man Song hurriedly got off the kang and put on his shoes, “I’ll drive the horse cart to take Little Nuan to take care of her business.”

Consequently, Old Man Song took over as the cart driver, and Asheng clung to Song Yunuan’s leg, tears pooling in his eyes, looking pitiful.

Therefore, Song Yunuan had no choice but to bring her brother along.

Thinking of Sister Zhao, Song Yunuan asked Xia Guilan to pack some dried vegetables, and hearing they were for Zhao Li, who had helped, Xia Guilan instantly became eager.

She packed not just string beans but also dried mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms.

The cloth bag was filled to the brim in no time.

Song Yunuan took out some, “There’s no need to give so much.

A token of appreciation is enough.”

There was no need to bring so much for the first visit, as the relationship was meant to be ongoing.

So, she switched to a smaller cloth bag.

Xia Guilan hugged her daughter, who was close to her.

Their family was all good-looking, especially the grandmother—she was a real beauty when she was young.

Even now, her willow-leaf-like eyebrows were prettier than those drawn by artists.

Little Nuan inherited her grandmother’s looks, but her demeanor in dealing with people seemed similar too.

Song Yunuan had no idea that after they left, Erdao River Village had become a bustling hub.

Several groups of people arrived, each with a higher rank than the last.

At that moment, Song Yunuan was standing in front of the gate of Nanshan County Town First Middle School.

She told the gatekeeper she was there to deliver shepherd’s purse buns to her brother.

Then she waited until a tall and handsome young man ran out of the school.

Asheng called out, “Big brother, sister is here to see you!”

Song Mingbo picked up his brother and bounced him around, then sneakily examined this misguided sister.

She was full of pride, looking down on everyone in the Song family.

Speaking of which, they were truly siblings.

That day, he happened to be at home when he felt short of breath in the middle of the night.

It was then he realized that his sister had attempted to hang herself.

Alas!

Song Mingbo silently sighed.

But just then, a curious voice came through.

[“Wow, finally seeing Big Brother again, hmm, quite handsome and I heard he’s good at studies, but no one knows that my big brother is a little diviner, self-taught in divination, he can even predict the exam questions.”]

Asheng held back a laugh, his small face tight as he leaned on his big brother’s shoulder.

Hee hee, I knew it!

Song Mingbo froze in shock.

His heart seemed as if it wouldn’t beat anymore.

This was a girl’s voice, but his sister opposite him clearly hadn’t opened her mouth.

And, only Asheng knew that he could predict the exam questions.

Could it be that his brother had tattled?

Even if his brother had tattled, he was sure that he didn’t miss seeing Little Nuan move her lips, he was certain she hadn’t spoken a word.

“Little Nuan, are you…

beep!” He couldn’t utter another word.

The sister’s voice continued to come through.

[“…After the Song family tragedy, Big Brother left school,” she said.

“At that time, the Song family was in chaos, and he, a mere youth, became the pillar of support.

But later, I was drugged and sold into the mountains by a trafficker.

Big Brother found me half a month later using divination.

The villagers beat him half to death and left him in the woods, where he was torn apart by wild wolves.

That same night, I was beaten to death, locked up in a cellar.

Woo woo woo, Big Brother had already predicted that not only could he not save me, he would lose his own life in the attempt, but he still went anyway.

Alas, I need to be careful not to get sold by traffickers…”]

The little chubby Asheng was hugged tightly by his big brother, feeling like his eyes were rolling back, but he didn’t dare move.

Wuwu, was the Song family really that tragic?

Did that mean he never got the chance to grow up and take a wife?

Song Yunuan’s eyes curved: “Big Brother, can you take some time off?”

These words were spoken out loud.

Finally breaking the tense atmosphere on the scene.

Song Mingbo also finally realized, had he heard his sister’s inner thoughts?

And these inner thoughts had a predictive function?

They were much more powerful than his own.

His sister was awesome!

Song Mingbo’s eyes also curved into a smile: “This is the first time you’ve called me Big Brother, say it again!”

“Big Brother!” Song Yunuan called crisply.

“Good, wait here, I will go and ask for leave.”

After saying that, he turned to leave but was called back by Song Yunuan: “Big Brother, this is the vegetable bun Mom steamed at noon; it’s really tasty.”

Song Mingbo took a cloth bag into the schoolyard and came out not long after with a backpack on.

He also took the cloth bag with dried vegetables from Song Yunuan’s hand, casually asking, “Is this for Uncle?”

“No, it’s for Sister Zhao, the one from the steamed dumpling shop, Big Sister Zhao Li,” said Song Yunuan with a beaming smile.

Song Mingbo was stunned for a moment.

Sister Zhao, the haughty waitress from the dumpling shop?

She was mighty impressive.

There were rumors about her being somewhat related to Deputy County Mayor Zhao.

How did his sister know her?

At this time the dumpling shop was closed, Song Yunuan went to Sister Zhao’s house, didn’t enter the place, just handed over the cloth bag with a smiling look in her eyes: “Sister Zhao, Grandpa and I came to the county to run some errands, and since I had to send a letter, I thought of your place near the post office, so I brought you some french beans, black fungus, and mushrooms…”

Zhao Li didn’t expect to see the young girl again so soon, and now she had seen her brother and her younger brother too.

Each of them was quite attractive.
