Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 378 Inside and Outside

Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and teased: "Oh, what a rare guest! How did Miss Zhou come to my house today and come to play?"

Because the two families are neighbors, they can talk about anything across the fence. If it is not particularly important, they can even chat directly while standing under their own roofs. Therefore, although they visit each other frequently throughout the year, they visit each other less often than other families in the village.

Zhou laughed twice, "It's not that your Song Ying is so successful. Song Ying, I heard that you taught Yan Xing how to play the pancreas. Auntie treats you well, so you can't treat her differently. You should teach Auntie as well."

Song Ying was stunned. He never expected that she came here for this. When he looked at Li again, his face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"The method of making this soap is simple, but who are you going to sell it to? Ordinary people can't afford it." She said sincerely, "This soap must be made of meat. Are you willing to wash your hands with meat?"

Zhou was so shocked that she couldn't speak clearly, "Using meat? This is too wasteful!"

Yang, who was listening attentively nearby, widened her eyes and exclaimed, "It's not even enough for people to eat, and you use it to wash your hands! Is that hand made of gold? It's so precious, you have to use meat to wash it!"

Li was sulking and didn't say anything, but her expression still showed shock and disapproval.

Song Ying: "So, most people won't buy this."

Zhou and Yang were amazed and exclaimed that the ladies and girls from wealthy families were so precious that they were so extravagant as to use meat to wash their hands and faces.

After all, she was unwilling to give up just like that. After sighing for a moment, Zhou asked again: "Who will we sell the pancreas made by Yan Xing to?"

Song Ying was a little speechless. How could she be so tactless? She said bluntly, "Aunt, what you did is a bit unfair. Yan Xing worked so hard to develop a customer base, but you wanted to snatch it away without even informing her. You also asked me to betray my friend. Isn't that putting me in an unfair position?"

Although she knew that Song Ying would be rude, Zhou had never confronted Song Ying because she had no daughter. Being accused of being dishonest, Zhou was a little embarrassed and forced a smile, saying, "This child has been in the city for a long time, and his words are so elegant, haha."

Song Ying did not respond and created an awkward atmosphere, which made Zhou give up.

Unexpectedly, Zhou didn't retreat, but someone else came to the door and said, "Song Ying, your grandmother Qian treated you so well in the past. You don't care about our family at all, you have a lucrative business, it's really in vain!"

Song Ying rolled her eyes speechlessly and wanted to ask Xiao Qianshi, what she meant by pain was not that she gave Song Tian and Song Yuan candies during the New Year but only gave her a handful of melon seeds, right?

It's fine that Li and Yang threatened and accused her of loving her for nothing, but when did the neighbors start to accuse her like that? She didn't owe them anything.

Before Song Ying opened his mouth, another person came up and asked about the pancreas as well.

Upon seeing this, Li pointed at Song Ying and scolded him, "You are so arrogant every day because you have learned some skills. You look down on this and that. You can't even tell the difference between inside and outside. You think about outsiders all day long and don't think about the people in the house at all. You should just go and live with outsiders..."

Hearing Li's indirect complaints, the aunts and ladies who had come to ask about the method of making pancreas felt embarrassed. They tried hard to persuade Li not to be angry, and then left one after another on the pretext of making lunch.

Li, however, continued to curse even after the person had left. This was truly directed at Song Ying.

Song Ying was annoyed, "Why didn't I think of you? Didn't I often ask Yan Xing to bring you meat?"

Li picked up the rattle stick used to drive ducks under the eaves and rushed over to hit Song Ying, "Is that what I mean? Pancreas is so profitable, but you taught outsiders instead of your second aunt. If it weren't for your second aunt, the grass on your grave would be so tall!"

Song Ying ran to the side, and when he was sure that she was not chasing him, he stopped and said, "I told you, that thing can only make money if there are customers. Second Aunt sells pancreas, running around the city like a peddler every day, and she doesn't plant the crops in the fields? Aren't you afraid that the government will come to your door?"

Song Ying didn't dare to say casually to Li and the others that she was willing to teach them. She couldn't just shut them up by making the atmosphere awkward.

There are so many people buying pancreas now. If I teach them, wouldn’t that be stealing my business?

Moreover, based on her understanding of them, after running around the streets for a few days, she would find an excuse to put the bark in their shop for consignment, and then, she might have to give them all her share.

It’s better to maintain a distant relationship with them.

"Your second aunt can't do it, but we still have your brother. He's a boy, and it's better than Yan Xing, a little girl, showing up in public!" Li hit the crackling stick on the ground, making a loud clacking sound.

Song Ying couldn't help but rolled her eyes again. How could Song Tian compare to Yan Xing? He couldn't even beat Yan Xing in a fight. He only knew how to use gender to make arguments. Why should girls give way to boys!

"Yan Xing was beaten like that some time ago, and you couldn't see it at all! If your eldest grandson was beaten like this, you would be heartbroken and blame me for being unfilial. Forget it."

"Do you think your brother is like you two, saying harsh words? He deserves to be beaten! He changed for the better after learning his lesson! I've told you long ago that girls can't go out and show their faces in public, but you didn't believe it. Now you know how dangerous it is outside..."

Although he had made preparations when he came back, Song Ying still felt angry when he heard it, "What's the matter? Now you don't want your eldest grandson to be an accountant, you want him to be a peddler?"

Li swung the cracking stick and hit Song Ying again, "You short-lived kid, you look down on your brother so much? Yan Xing can open a shop by selling pancreas in a month or two, but your brother has to be a peddler for the rest of his life? Do you look down on your brother so much in your heart?"

"You all know that Yan Xing is capable, has a good life, and is very lucky. During the New Year, she accidentally helped a rich man, and he gave her a thank-you gift. That's how she was able to open a shop. So, can you give Song Tian a few dozen taels of silver to open a shop?"

Li was choked. Her second son did make a lot of money from selling eels, but not that much. Moreover, she couldn't bear to spend that much money to buy a shop, as it was enough for the family to live a good life for a long time.

After holding it in for a long while, Li said angrily, "Didn't Yan Xing say that the money was not just a thank-you gift? You think quickly. You didn't let your brother get this good thing, but gave it to outsiders!"

Song Ying: “…”

She took a deep breath and managed to turn around and leave, "Song Tian was down there at the time, and the so-called life-saving grace had nothing to do with him, how could I help him?

Also, Erzhu and Tianhu were targeted by human traffickers at the time. Do you think Song Tian could escape after they were taken away? If it weren't for Yan Xing, would you still have a grandson now?

You don't remember the kindness of others every day, and you even curse them behind their backs. Is there any elder like you? "
