Chapter 27 -27 What a Family of Drama Kings and Queens!_1

Everyone knew that the Song family was about to face trouble.

People are like that.

When you fare better than them, they become jealous of you.

When you’re worse off than them, they laugh at you, but also pity you.

Aunt Sun said anxiously, “What happened, tell me.”

Old Mrs.

Song pursed her lips; this was the time when tears were needed.

She began to brew them up.

Remembering Little Nuan talking about how the Song family was brought to ruin, remembering her little daughter singing lullabies in the storeroom to her niece, and remembering how her daughter had become mute, Old Mrs.

Song’s tears gushed out.

She had only one daughter.

Even though she loved that little daughter the most, she had never spoiled her.

From a young age, Tingting had to look after children, and as she grew up, she also had to cook and do laundry for the family.

By heaven and earth, Siqi might have had a tough life, but she truly didn’t suffer; at home, she had her way.

She was the eldest’s daughter, the only one.

The couple doted on her, and Old Mrs.

Song couldn’t really say anything.

At home, she could do chores if she wished or go play if she didn’t want to work.

Even at sixteen or seventeen, Tingting still had to wash her clothes for her.

But her little daughter had not had many good days.

Whether Tingting got into the cultural troupe or not, she must not marry into the Li family.

Her daughter was so capable and also good looking; how could she not be good enough for Li Benzhong?

Talking about breaking off the engagement, in the end, it was just the fear of implicating their Li family.

They say adversity reveals true nature.

If the Li family were truly decent people, they would marry Tingting and give her a home to shelter her from the storm.

Honestly, she would be grateful to the Li family for a lifetime.

Luckily, they hadn’t married yet.

If they had, would she also be thrown out of the house?

This engagement, it had to be called off!

Old Mrs.

Song cried so hard she became a mess of tears, which scared Aunt Sun to death.

She hurriedly said, “Sister, life is like this, full of ups and downs.

Just endure a little, and it will pass.”

Old Mrs.

Song wiped her tears and choked up, “Big sister, you’ve seen what’s happened these past few days.

Song Liang is certainly ruined, Lin Zhiqing has suffered so much, and her sister won’t let this go.

Our old Song family is definitely doomed, but I don’t want Tingting to suffer because of us.

We had planned for the wedding to be in the autumn, but now I want to get them married off sooner.

If Lin Qing wants to take revenge on our old Song family, she probably wouldn’t dare to act against Tingting.

After all, Li Benzhong operates a tractor at the commune, and the Li family seems to have relatives who are officials in the county.

Once they become our in-laws, perhaps they could help us, right?”

Aunt Sun remembered Old Woman Li’s selfish nature and curled her lips in her mind.

She and Old Woman Li were from the same ancestry, not very close, but that woman’s nature was troublesome.

If she knew the truth and didn’t tell her, she could come to her door and scold her for three days and three nights.

She said, “How about this, I’ll take a trip to Daliang Village.”

Old Mrs.

Song hastened to thank her, then said, “Don’t hide anything, just tell the truth.”

Aunt Sun tidied up and left the village.

Old Mrs.

Song’s tears had long since dried.

Her heart sneered coldly, fearing we’d drag your family down, I’m more afraid you’ll regret it once our family’s situation gets better.

The old lady stood in front of the west room’s window ledge.

This was her daughter’s room.

At this moment, a concert was in progress.

The windows were shut tight, and not much sound could be heard.

At this moment, after listening to the song, Song Yunuan slapped the table, “Little auntie, this is a sure thing!”

Song Ting was overwhelmed with emotion; following Little Nuan’s method, she had indeed mustered deeper feelings.

“Little Nuan, you’re right.

When singing, it’s not only about staying in tune, but also about delivering genuine emotion and most importantly, infusing the song with soul.”

“Exactly, little auntie, don’t just feel it’s only a song.

In fact, they are history, a series of stirring stories,” said Little Nuan, her voice soft and tender but exceedingly inspiring to listen to.

Old Mrs.

Song felt a warm glow in her heart as well.

She went to speak with Xia Guilan, “I saw Little Nuan come back with only one set of clothes to change into, and just a single pair of shoes.

The weather is getting warmer by the day, so hurry up and make a pair of cloth shoes for Little Nuan, ones with stack-soled, they are more comfortable to wear than leather shoes.”

Xia Guilan hesitated for a moment, “Mom, actually, I’ve secretly finished making the shoes.

They have elastic openings, but I’m worried Little Nuan might not like them.”

“Let her have a look.

If she takes a fancy to them, that’d be great.

Besides, they’d be good to wear around the house.

Leather shoes worn all the time would wear out quickly anyway,” she said.

And so, Song Yunuan received a pair of khaki-striped velvet shoes with elastic openings.

Song Yunuan immediately put them on.

“Comfortable, really comfortable,” she said.

It wasn’t a lie; they truly were comfortable.

When Song Yunuan left the Qin family, she was penniless and had only brought one change of clothes.

Of course, she took all her undergarments, but other items like cotton-padded jackets, wool overcoats, or windbreakers — the Qin family didn’t mention them, and she didn’t have the nerve to take them.

The pair of leather shoes on her feet were single-layered leather, suitable for the season.

But they really weren’t as comfortable as cloth shoes.

Especially since cloth shoes have thick soles, making walking extra light and brisk.

Xia Guilan breathed a sigh of relief.

Watching her daughter with squinting eyes,

On the day she returned home, she wore a ponytail, but these past few days she switched to plaiting her hair into two braids, tied with apricot-colored bands into butterfly knots.

Her outfit was a double-breasted checkered suit with a beige knitted sweater inside, paired with black polyester pants.

Actually, they would have looked better with leather shoes, but the cloth shoes were not bad either.

Indeed, a pretty girl even dressed in tattered clothes still looks good.

Of course, she still needed to wear nice ones.

If they couldn’t afford to buy a summer dress, then she would make one herself.

The dresses she made were no worse than those sold in department stores.

Xia Guilan was very confident.

While she was considering which floral dress to make, she went to the west room where Song Yunuan also looked at Song Ting’s clothes.

There were no nice clothes, and Song Yunuan thought about letting Song Ting wear her own clothes.

Song Ting disagreed.

“If they don’t want me because of my poor dressing, then there’s nothing I can do,” she said.

Song Yunuan nodded; that was logical.

As long as one is clean and tidy, that’s what matters.

Song Liang took people to work in the fields and always felt that the seeds sown would lead to a big loss, but there wasn’t much he could do.

Could he really claim his daughter predicted a calamitous year?

In a morning’s time, the fields of Erdao River Village were all turned over, just waiting to be sown.

These few days were given as holidays, so the villagers had time to tidy up their own vegetable gardens.

Lunch was simple, with coarse porridge, a couple of tofu pieces, and potatoes stewed in a pot.

The Song family was just about to eat when there was a commotion at the front door of the Song family’s house.

Song Ting’s face changed immediately.

“This is bad, it’s the Li family.”

Song Yunuan quickly asked, “The same Li family?”

Song Ting nodded, “Yes, it’s them.”

Song Yunuan was curious about how this would be resolved, and so soon too.

Then she saw the neighbor, Grandma Sun, her face red with agitation, explaining to Old Mrs.

Song,”I didn’t dare to hide it, but she…

she insists on calling off the engagement!”

Song Yunuan then saw her grandmother, who was just now bursting with joy, her eyes rimmed with redness, her expression wan and her voice choked, “Let’s talk inside.

Song Liang…

he’s gotten into a bit of trouble.

We need to be mindful of the consequences; otherwise, it would be adding mistake upon mistake.”

Old Woman Li’s eyes popped with anger, “Call that a little trouble?

It’s a serious matter, right?

Your Song family has been scheming with your Ruyi plans, hoping our Li family would back you up.

Dream on, we’re calling off the engagement!!!”

Song Liang glanced at his mother with darkened expression and guiltily said to Old Woman Li, “Auntie, I’m sorry.

It’s my incompetence that has caused trouble for the family, but Tingting is innocent!”

Song Ting covered her face and ran into the house.

Xia Guilan sighed heavily.

Old Man Song crouched on the ground, cradling his head.

Song Yunuan was dumbfounded: An entire family of drama kings and queens!
