Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 285 Proposal

"Your grandmother is a very face-conscious person. If I had proposed to stay at my parents' home for a few more days, she would have worried about being gossiped about and would definitely not agree.

I first proposed a divorce, and then, under her persuasion, I compromised and proposed to stay at my parents' home for a few more days. In order to reassure me, she agreed. "

Song Ying was stunned at first, and then she felt even more sad. Without the support of her natal family, she would have to resort to some tricks to stay for a few more days.

At this moment, she was extremely grateful that she had seen through Li early on and did not believe her words about supporting her and backing her up.

Otherwise, Song Ergu's current situation will be her future.

After a moment's silence, she said, "Second Aunt, if you don't want to stay in that house, you can go out and find a job, and you can still support yourself."

"How can it be so easy?" Aunt Song touched her head and sighed deeply, "Aunt Song is not as capable as you, so it is not easy for her to find a job.

Besides, I am a woman in an unfamiliar place, and I have no place to seek justice if I am cheated."

"Second aunt, the world outside is actually not that scary, and it's not that hard to find a job. There are bad people out there, but there are always more good people than bad ones."

At this point, Song Ying remembered the job of washing dishes and vegetables in the noodle shop recommended by Aunt Zhang, and said, "If you are really anxious to move out of the Li family, I know a job of washing dishes and vegetables in a newly opened noodle shop, but the owner of that shop is too stingy and only pays 300 coins a month."

Second Aunt Song was stunned, then delighted. She was willing to do so even without any wages as long as she could leave the Li family!

But soon, she hesitated again, "Is this job possible? What kind of person is the boss? Will he bully me?"

Song Ying was a little unsure. She only knew Aunt Zhang. To be honest, she didn't have a very good impression of her, but she was not a bad person.

As for the owner of the noodle shop, since he didn't intend to invite Luo Yanxing to go, he didn't go to ask.

"I'll go back and ask around. If that one doesn't work, there are always other options! There are so many shops in the city, you can always find a job." Song Ying looked at her, "But if we don't get a divorce, will the Li family agree to let you work out?"

Aunt Song was silent, and after a long pause she said, "If your grandmother and the others are willing to go to the Li family, maybe it's possible."

She looked back at Uncle Song's house. Her mother had felt that divorce would bring disgrace to the Song family's reputation and was unwilling to help her. But if she didn't divorce and just came out to work, her mother should help her, right?

Song Ying saw through her thoughts and sighed, "I was working as a temporary worker in the Shen residence before. My grandmother and her family thought it was embarrassing for an orphan like me to work as a temporary worker, so they asked me to come back with them."

The light in Second Aunt Song's eyes dimmed. Her mother wouldn't let her niece go out to work because she thought it would bring shame to them. So her mother would definitely not agree if she left her husband, parents-in-law and son behind to work in the city.

Song Ying was helpless. She had heard Grandma Qian and others talk about the time when her second aunt was still unmarried, and it could be seen that she was a very opinionated person.

But after being bullied in the Li family for so many years, she had lost all her sharp edge and was counting on her natal family for support.

It seemed like she was completely powerless if Mrs. Li and Uncle Song didn't help.

However, she had no solution for the moment. She had never been to the Li family since she could remember. She had no idea about the situation of the Li family, nor did she know the personalities of the Li family members. She didn't even have a direction to think about.

Aunt Song smiled bitterly and retracted her gaze, "Let's go, aren't we going to swing?"

Song Ying nodded and took her arm towards Tian Fang's home. This matter could not be accomplished all at once. If they took it slowly, they would always be able to find a way to solve it.

When they were still two ridges away from Tian Fang's house, they heard someone screaming.

“Stop swinging! It’s too high! Ahhhh… I’m scared…”

The voice was a little distorted, and Song Ying couldn't tell whose voice it was. But then, she heard Luo Yanxing laughing happily, "Are you convinced?"

"I surrender! I surrender! Stop it now!"

This time, Song Ying recognized that the person screaming was Tian Fang.

Looking up again, I saw two parallel swings in Tian Fang's yard, swinging up and down very high.

She suddenly felt her feet go weak and wanted to turn around and leave.

Luo Yanxing is very good at swinging, especially when there are people competing with each other. Song Tian and the others just went there, and Luo Yanxing will definitely compete with them to see who will win.

We are playing so crazy now, and soon the desire to win will come up, and I don’t know how high I will swing.

Sister Xiao Cui is not here this year, and if I go now, she will definitely drag me along!

"Hey, whose family are those two girls from? They are swinging so high!" Song Ergu's attention was also attracted by the two girls swinging on the swings, and she asked.

"The one facing us is Yan Xing, formerly known as Lai Di, but she has changed her name now. The one facing away from us is Tian Fang."

"It turned out to be Lai Di." Second Aunt Song suddenly realized. Although she came back less often after getting married, she knew that Lai Di, who played well with her niece, was a brave person. She even helped her niece fight with boys when they were young.

As they were talking, they walked across a ridge and arrived at the paddy field below the Tian family.

The swing swung toward the paddy field and reached its highest point. Luo Yanxing saw her at a glance and shouted happily: "Song Ying! You're back! I thought you weren't coming back!"

Tian Fang had her back to Song Ying and the others, and was screaming, "Why don't you stop? I've already given up!"

"The swing can't just stop. It has to stop slowly!" Luo Yanxing argued.

Song Tian and his friends had already arrived at the Tian family. Song Tian said to Erni and Pandi who were sitting on another swing, "How long will you guys take? We want to play too!"

In the Tian family's yard, in addition to the boys and girls sitting around on the swings, there were also many adults sitting in the yard basking in the sun and chatting.

"Isn't this her second aunt? Come and sit down!" Tian Fangniang greeted Second Aunt Song warmly.

Aunt Song greeted her with a smile, and then said with emotion: "After so many years, your Tian family is still the most lively in the village during the New Year!"

Tian Fangniang looked at the two swings on the other side of the yard near the vegetable patch and said, "It's all thanks to the good location of these two trees. They're perfect for swings. With all the kids together, it's hard not to have a lot of fun."

At the edge where the Tian family yard meets the vegetable field, there is a big tree on each side, and two thick forks facing each other.

When Tian Fang's father was still young, her grandfather cut down the crowns of two trees and cut another tree as a crossbeam, which was placed on the fork of the two trees. During the New Year, he built a swing for the children in the village to play with.

Aunt Song nodded in agreement. There were so many children, and the chattering was really lively, sometimes even annoying. "It's also because your family is so good, sister-in-law. With this swing, the children in other villages envy our village the most during the New Year."
