Chapter 286: The new daughter-in-law, why don’t you come and set the rules?
Almost everyone in Datian Village came out to fight, even the Shen family came out. The Song family closed the doors and windows tightly, and no one went out.
They were not worried that people from Sunjiatun would come to their door. They believed that since Song Laosan was in such a position, people from Sunjiatun would not dare to do anything to the Song family.
So everyone was very relieved and just treated it as a good show.
They hoped that the people in Datian Village would die or become disabled, and then they would go to the villagers' homes to steal things.
By then, the entire village’s fields, money and grain will belong to them. Just thinking about it makes me want to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
However, the support from the camp arrived soon, and it was the people of Sunjiatun who suffered a great loss, which made the Song family very disappointed.
"Everything could have been going smoothly, but now that those guys from the Qiao family have become military leaders, things are different." Old Lady Song cursed.
"It's all these bastards who caused the trouble."
Song Laosan rode into the yard on horseback, followed by a group of followers who stood guard outside the door.
Originally, he didn't need to bring any followers when he returned to his home, but since he had offended the people in Datian Village, he still had to be careful.
"My son, I haven't seen you for ten years. You don't know how much I miss you. It's not convenient for me to talk to you during the day. Now I can finally have a good chat with you." Old Lady Song felt a lump in her throat and wiped away her tears.
Song Laosan got off the horse, walked into the main room, sat down, and thought about everything that happened today. His face was gloomy.
"Son, don't be upset. The Qiao family won't be able to stay around for too long. You are in this position now. Wait for a chance to deal with them. There is no need to rush." Old Lady Song comforted him.
"Hmm." Song Laosan responded, took off the wine jug from his waist, and took a sip.
"Mom, over the years, the Qiao family has been law-abiding."
The first thing Song Laosan was concerned about was whether he was cuckolded.
"It seems that she is doing her duty, but who knows if she has done anything behind the scenes to let down our Song family? How many widowed women can stand loneliness?" Old Mrs. Song said disdainfully.
"Not long after leaving the Song family, I heard that Qin Bu came to visit. The two of them must have been secretly together for a long time. Maybe they met in the middle of the night while the Song family was asleep."
"Qin Bu?" Song Lao San frowned, unable to remember this person.
"That's the widower who killed his wife and children. Don't tell me he looks decent. What could possibly happen between a widow and a widower? Otherwise, why would the widower go looking for her as soon as that bitch left the Song family?"
Song Laosan seemed to remember that ten years ago, before he left the Song family, someone in the village had his wife killed and two others found dead. It seemed that it was the Qin family.
Qin Bu was infatuated with his wife. He hugged her and cried bitterly. He even tried to bang his head against the wall, but luckily he was stopped by someone.
Unexpectedly, he hooked up with Qiao Yunni.
"When the Song family wanted to drive that woman away, was she willing to leave?"
"She pretended to cry, she was reluctant to leave, but in the end she still left. She even asked me to sign a divorce agreement, just to sound better so that I could remarry and make my adulterer look good."
"I've been through this before, so I don't know what these bitches are thinking."
Old Lady Song speculated about Qiao Yunni with the greatest malice, and spoke as if it were true, to the point that she almost believed it herself.
Sure enough, the more Song Lao San listened, the colder his eyes became. He slowly clenched his fists, making a crackling sound.
He will not let any adulterer or adulteress go.
"Third brother, when you joined the army, you were told that you would have a good future. I didn't expect that you would really come back wearing this military uniform. Your ancestors in the underworld would be proud of you." Old Lady Song said with relief.
When Song Laosan thought about the cuckold incident, his face turned really bad and he didn't say anything.
Old Lady Song thought to herself, great, that bitch Qiao Yunni is going to be in trouble.
In fact, she knew that Qiao Yunni had never done those things. Because widows are often surrounded by gossip, she would secretly get up at night to keep an eye on Qiao Yunni. Qiao Yunni had never had any dealings with other men.
But so what? It doesn't stop her from throwing dirty water on her. She married into the Song family and then dared to divorce her. This is the consequence she has to bear.
"Old Third, my wife and grandchildren, when will you bring them home to visit? I miss them too."
"Mom, they can't come for the time being." Song Lao San said.
"What? I'm still waiting for my daughter-in-law to come to me and set the rules. Now that she has come to our house, it doesn't make sense for her not to go home and be filial to her mother-in-law." Old Mrs. Song was a little unhappy.
No matter that she is the general's daughter, if you become her daughter-in-law, you have to be submissive to her.
This is the rule passed down by our ancestors.
And she also wanted to enjoy the general's daughter's respectful attitude towards her. Wouldn't the people in Datian Village envy her to death?
This is called being the best.
"I was married before, but I told Guan Yuqin that I have never married. If they come here, they will find out about those things." Song Lao San said, "If there is a quarrel, if General Guan is unhappy, I will also be affected."
"Well, what should we do? We can't just keep not seeing them."
"I came here unexpectedly today and was not prepared. Please spread the word among yourselves. If anyone reveals my affairs, I will kill him."
"Wait until the villagers' mouths are tightly covered, then bring them back."
"Since Song Rui'er has been adopted by the Second Wife, he is the Second Wife's son. He has nothing to do with me from now on. If he doesn't behave himself, I won't keep him."
Song Ruier put her ear to the window, listening to these words, tears almost burst out again.
He worked hard to wait for his father to come back, but his father didn't even care about him.
Seeing how cruel Song Lao San was, even Old Lady Song took a deep breath.
Even her own daughter and son are going to be killed, so as a mother, she has to be careful, lest the knife be placed on her neck one day.
"Son, just be at ease as your general. Everything here will be handled smoothly for you, so you don't have to worry about anything." Old Lady Song promised.
"By the way, your eldest brother and second brother are serving their sentences now. They are digging a road in the mountains. I don't know what the situation has become. It's all the fault of the Qiao family. They insisted on building the road after the heavy rain. Since our family refused to go, they targeted us and tried to please the people from the county town, which harmed your eldest brother and second brother. Now that you are back to support the family, mother is not afraid anymore." Old Mrs. Song wiped her tears again.
"I'll send someone to bring them back." Song Lao San said.
At midnight, Qiao Dayong, Zhao Lizheng and others came back.
Three hundred taels of silver were found in Sunjiatun. Four households were caught in the fire, and each family was given fifty taels to build their houses. The remaining one hundred taels were turned over to the public treasury to support the village's public expenses and public welfare.
They did not kill them and took all the silver, but left some for later, so that the people of Sunjiatun would not become beggars and constantly harass Datian Village. It was not because they were merciful, but because they were too close, so they were somewhat worried.
Early the next morning, a piece of news spread in Datian Village.
It is forbidden to mention anything about Song Laosan's past. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences.
