Chapter 28 -28 This family can be without me_1

In the courtyard, there was only the confused Little Asheng and Song Yunuan.

Before Song Yunuan could react,

Little Asheng quickly grasped the situation.

Tottering forward, he threw himself at Song Liang’s leg and wailed heart-wrenchingly, “Daddy, I am your son, let me go to prison in your place, okay?

This family can be without me, but not without Daddy, you are the pillar of this household…”

Song Yunuan’s pretty face turned beet red.

It was only when she got here that she learned that the local people refer to going to prison as “sitting behind the fence.”

So what should she do now?

Asheng’s crying and the scolding from Old Woman Li earlier had attracted the villagers who were about to have lunch.

Today, Sun Zhiqing received biscuits, milk candies, and dried meat from home.

After much deliberation, he still decided to give a bit of each to Asheng.

That child, Asheng, was very adorable, everyone who saw him wanted to feed him.

Besides, Song Liang was about to be dismissed from his post, and there would be no accusations of currying favor.

Unexpectedly, the entrance of the Song family’s house became lively again.

There were even quite a few people holding large bowls, coming over to watch the commotion.

It didn’t take long for them to understand what was going on.

The Song family had no civil complaints against them, nor did they bully others using their status.

Seeing the pitiful crying child, some people began to express their disapproval.

“What the Li family is doing isn’t kind or righteous. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Even though Song Liang is in trouble, that has nothing to do with Song Ting.

Besides, in-laws should help each other out, not kick someone when they’re down.”

“That’s right, adversity reveals true friends.

You can’t just do this.”

“Your son’s doing well at the commune; driving the tractor well, and he knows the leaders of the commune.

Why don’t you speak on behalf of our brigade leader?

He’s actually quite a good person, please don’t let him be dismissed, alright?”

The crowd echoed in agreement.

The face of Old Woman Li darkened even more.

Her son had made the acquaintance of a clerk at the commune.

A girl there had taken a liking to her son, but after hearing he was engaged, she stopped paying attention to him.

Although she wasn’t as pretty as Song Ting, the girl’s family was well-off.

Most importantly, she had no baggage.

Children don’t lie, and for all you know, Song Liang really might end up in prison behind the fence.

If that was true, wouldn’t that drag down their Li family too?

Once someone goes “behind the fence,” it’s a stain on their record.

It could very well result in her son being expelled too.

No way, absolutely not!

“You speak so lightly, but we’re all ordinary folks.

I have sons and daughters too.

Song Liang, you brought trouble on yourself and offended people; why drag our family into it?

So no matter what, it’s useless to talk; we’re definitely breaking off the engagement today.”

“And what does Li Benzhong think?”

Old Mrs.

Song seemed unwilling to give up, but in truth, she was anxious as she asked.

Old Woman Li: “Big Zhong agrees, of course.

He’s busy with the tractor and can’t come over.

Here, he’s sent the tokens of engagement.”

Aunt Sun wanted to say more, but Old Woman Li glared at her: “You really have a twisted mind, knowing the Song family had troubles, you didn’t come to tell me sooner.

From now on, let’s not associate with each other.

I don’t want such a relative.”

Aunt Sun’s face turned an angry shade of blue: “Then we won’t associate!”

She turned and headed towards her own home.

Then Wang Dazhi arrived.

In just two days, Wang Dazhi appeared to have completely forgotten the troubles his family had caused and even joined in blaming Song Liang for being dishonorable.

Song Liang cast a covert glance at Wang Dazhi.

Someone had told him that Old Woman Mrs.

Wang had been slinging mud at him in the commune, telling others that Song Liang had witnessed her husband hitting his wife and did nothing.

She thought it was acceptable for a husband to beat his wife.

It was all Song Liang’s fault.

If he had declared such behavior wrong, would her son not have erred?

Song Liang was feeling very oppressed.

He picked up his son, who was crying heart-wrenchingly, and glanced at his stunned daughter, saying, “If that’s the case, then let’s break off the engagement.”

Old Man Song finally stuttered, “But I was counting on Li Benzhong to put in a good word for you…

If the engagement is broken off, then that connection is gone…”

As soon as this was said, Old Woman Li couldn’t care less about anything else and started crying right at the entrance, declaring that if the engagement wasn’t broken off, she would die at the Song family’s doorstep.

As a result, Old Mrs.

Sun, who had indirectly introduced the match, was called out again.

The marriage proposal was finally retracted.

Song Yunuan rushed back to her room and, seeing Song Ting’s beaming smile, she too breathed a sigh of relief.

“My grandma is truly amazing!”

“My grandpa is amazing too!”

“And my little brother is a case of ‘the pupil outshines the master’!”

Song Ting hugged the fragrant little girl and let out a giggling laugh.

The crowd at the door had all dispersed.

Only Sun Zhiqing had not left.

Song Liang approached him and said, “Don’t worry, you will definitely be able to take the exam.”

Sun Zhiqing handed the food to Asheng and said grimly, “It’s from home, for Asheng.”

Then he left without looking back.

Asheng wiped away a tear and then ran into the house with the food in his arms.

“Sister, sister, I’ve got something tasty, let’s eat it together.”

Song Yunuan still washed his face for him, only giving him a biscuit and saving the rest, saying they would eat them after the meal.

Song Liang relayed what he had heard: Old Mrs.

Song was so upset she couldn’t eat.

Song Yunuan blinked her eyes and said, “Grandma, she has her own mouth, and you have yours too, don’t you?

If you keep arguing with Old Woman Mrs.

Wang about words, it will never end.

This isn’t a debate competition.

Besides, Lin Qing harbors a great animosity towards our family; she won’t listen to good words about us, but as soon as someone speaks ill of us, she believes it right away.”

There was really no solution to this.

It was the setup of the plot.

The power of the plot was there, and it wasn’t something that could be resolved just by involving Old Mr.

Ji.

“This is the current situation.

The more we emphasize the evilness of the Wang family, the more prominent your dereliction of duty will seem, Dad.

It’s a tight knot that’s difficult to untie.”

Suddenly, Song Yunuan’s eyes widened, “Oh no, I forgot to mention one more thing…”

“What is it?” asked Old Mrs.

Song, her heart pounding with fear.

Song Yunuan gestured to Asheng, “You tell it.

If you do it well, sister will give you another piece of milk candy.”

“Really, sister?”

“Really, really!”

So, Asheng began to describe, in colorful detail, what he had done yesterday with his big brother and sister.

The Song family members were all stunned.

Of course, no one truly believed Song Mingbo had figured it out; as for how they knew, that was a secret!

Old Mrs.

Song, excited, grabbed Song Yunuan, “What about now?”

“I don’t know what will happen next, but Old Man Ji has gone to the Pear Tree Brigade.

Also, Lin Zhiqing’s leg should be salvageable.”

[Ji Chunxiu is indeed Old Mr.

Ji’s biological daughter, and Old Mr.

Ji is renowned for his medical skills.

Presumably Ji Chunxiu has already remembered everything by now.]

[Old Mr.

Ji’s word is his bond, and Hospital Director Zhuang is his disciple.

Lin Zhiqing hasn’t left yet; he should be staying at the county guesthouse now.]

[Our family’s shepherd’s purse is probably purchased for them.]

[As for what happens next, Wang Dazhi, in his bid to become the head of the brigade, will break his own brother Wang Zhuzi’s leg.]

[The truth behind Wang Dazhi and Wang Zhuzi’s birth was uncovered by Lin Qing.

Originally, Old Guy Wang wanted to borrow money to save his younger son, but Lin Qing told him the truth, and the Wang family’s minds turned to mush.

They didn’t need Lin Qing to act against them; they would destroy themselves.]

Song Yunuan was a bit puzzled.

Lin Qing’s hatred for the Song family was too intense, somewhat irrational.

Just because her dad, the head of the brigade, was irresponsible?
