Chapter 308 Swear
The two sisters took some cooling tea, wrapped some buns and snacks with clean leaves, and walked outside hand in hand.
Song Anning opened the map and looked at Song Nian's location. He was indeed by the river, where the black cow's pen was.
"Your second uncle is quite honest. Go wait there now. It's so sunny outside, it's easy to get heatstroke."
“Indeed, the reason why my family didn’t give up on him was because they understood my second uncle’s temperament.
He is a bit stubborn, but he doesn't have any malicious intentions. Once he makes up his mind about something, he will stick to it until the end.
The family has been making some money lately, and he's gotten a little cocky, so this is a good opportunity to curb his arrogance."
"Well, I guess Second Uncle won't dare to do it again from now on.
But what are you going to do, Master? Why do you want to let An He go?"
"You'll find out later."
When the two sisters walked not far from the cowshed, they saw Song Nian sitting outside pitifully, staring at the big black cow's butt, his eyes full of desire.
"Hahaha, sorry Master, Xiangxiang feels like laughing."
"Me too……"
Song An Ning held back her laughter, squatted down and handed the food in her hand to Song Anhe, then rolled up her sleeves to expose the burned area.
"Go over there quickly and do as your sister taught you."
"it is good."
Song An Ning hid in the woods nearby and stood behind a tree, watching quietly.
Song Anhe was carrying something, walking through the grass with one foot deep and one foot shallow. She walked behind Song Nian and whispered, "Dad..."
When Song Nian heard the voice, he turned around suddenly and saw his little daughter holding a bamboo tube and food in her hands, looking at him eagerly.
"He'er? Why are you here? This place is not clean, there are too many flies and mosquitoes, go back quickly..."
Just as Song Nian raised his hand, he saw Song Anhe suddenly squat down, covering her head with her hands, a look of horror on her face.
"Dad hasn't eaten yet, I'm bringing you some food, please don't hit me..."
"..."
Song Nian's hand froze in mid-air as he stared blankly at his frightened daughter. There was a large scar on her arm, which looked very scary due to previous improper treatment.
His heart ached and he couldn't help but doubt himself.
How did the relationship between him, his wife, and his children become like this? Ever since he had more than a hundred taels of silver in his hand, he even walked lightly and began to fantasize about the days when he would have someone to serve him.
But now thinking about it, it was ridiculous. What was that one hundred taels of silver? He had seen the people from the Chen family coming from afar today, and they had so many thank-you gifts. One hundred taels of silver wouldn't even be enough for them to have a good meal.
He was just a commoner at the bottom of society. For the sake of some material possessions, he said so many nonsense and even assaulted his wife and children...
"Don't be afraid, An He. Dad swears to you that I won't do it again, not in this lifetime..."
Song Anhe looked confused, blinking her eyes and said slowly:
"Sister Aning said, don't believe what others swear. It's no different from Da Huang's barking..."
"..."
Song Nian was choked by his daughter's words and sat on the ground in a somewhat dejected manner.
"Then in the days ahead, He'er, it depends on whether Dad can do it. If Dad hits me again, you can run to your grandfather and ask him to beat me to death.
If you do something stupid again, I won’t be worthy of being your father anymore…”
Song Nian gave a wry smile and stared at the wound on his daughter's arm. He felt so distressed. How painful it must be to have someone scalded by the porridge just out of the pot...
"Father, why are you staring at He'er's arm? Is it ugly? Mother said that even if she dies of exhaustion, she will earn money to find the best doctor to remove this scar."
"..."
Hearing Song Anhe say this, he lowered his head guiltily.
"Dad will do the work, so let your mother rest. It has not been easy for her over the years..."
“If we work together, our family will get better and better.
If you continue to beat us, we won’t call you dad anymore.”
"Okay, Dad won't let He'er down."
Song Anhe nodded, handed the thing in her hand to Song Nian, and spoke slowly.
"Grandma has woken up, but she looks very pale. She is worried about Dad, so she asked me to bring you some food. Come and eat it quickly.
He'er knows you love eating buns, so she brought them here specially."
"Okay, Dad, I'll eat it right away..."
"Then He'er went back."
"There's a snake in the grass. Daddy will carry you out."
Song Nian put the food on a stone, picked up Song Anhe and strode towards the main road.
He walked all the way to the village entrance, put his daughter down, and said with a smile, "It's hot, He'er, go home quickly."
"Okay, Dad can go wait in the woods and don't get a heat stroke."
Song Anhe took two steps forward, turned back to give him some instructions, and waved at him with a smile.
Looking at her back, Song Nian smiled, returned to his original place, picked up the bun, looked at it for a long time, took a big bite, then raised his hands and grabbed his hair, crying and laughing.
Song An Ning stood in the woods, folded his hands, and watched quietly, then turned and walked out of the woods.
"The cowshed stinks so badly, but your uncle can still eat it. It shows he's really hungry."
"It's good enough to have something to eat. Why would you be so picky at this time?"
Song An Ning walked a short distance into the village and saw Song An He standing obediently under the big banyan tree. She asked nervously:
"Sister Ning, did you hear that? What did He'er say?"
"I heard it, He'er said it very well, I know you can do it.
But I still have to say that even though your father made mistakes, he is still your elder and must be respected. Filial piety is the most important thing for children in our family."
"Yes. I respect my grandpa and grandma the most, then my second grandpa, my second grandma, my parents, my sister Aning, and..."
Song Anhe held her hand and talked as they walked. When they returned, Second Grandpa had already gone home with his family. Only Second Grandma and Song Juaner were sitting by Zhang's bed, chatting about family matters.
The others were washing dishes and cleaning up in the kitchen and by the well. Song Anning walked over to Wang Qiuyue and asked quietly:
"Are the children asleep?"
"We got up early today and had a lot to do. After dinner, everyone was listless, so Grandpa let the children go to bed. Grandpa and Uncle Ming went to town to find a doctor to see Grandma again.
I just went into the room to check on Grandma, and she seemed fine.
You should also go to sleep for a while, you must be exhausted these past two days, right? "
Song Anning shook her head and squatted next to Wang Qiuyue to wash the dishes together.
"I slept well last night and wasn't too sleepy. How do you feed the three people in your house? Don't let them go hungry."
"Oh no, how could I forget about these three."
Wang Qiuyue had just gotten a servant and was not used to it yet, so she was about to leave as she spoke.
“There are so many dishes at home, I can take some home to eat instead of cooking.
Miss Qiuyue, you only want people to work but not to eat. This is not acceptable."
"Hahaha, you just like to tease me. Then I'll ask Aunt Yuanying to pack some food to take back."
Wang Qiuyue turned and went to the kitchen. Song Anning smiled and just lowered her head to start working, but she saw Xiao Yingchun coming over with two small stools and sitting next to her, and then she started to get busy.
She glanced at Song An Ning from time to time, and was hesitating whether to speak when she heard Song An Ning say:
"Sister Yingchun, just tell me what you want to say. Why are you hesitating?"
"I... am a little embarrassed to tell you..."
"That's not something you would say. If there's anything, let's solve it together. Come on."
