Chapter 299 News about Song Bai

"That's not good..." Dong Bao said hesitantly. Instead of letting Song Zhaodi go to help in the shop, she would rather spend money to keep Song Zhaodi in captivity. She caused trouble.

On the other hand, Mrs. Li said flatly: "If she causes trouble, she will be kicked out." In the past, Mrs. Li felt more pity for Song Zhaodi than disgust, but she saw Song Zhaodi's attitude towards her child, and she recognized that Song Zhaodi was Song Zhaodi. The cold temperament of the second child's child will not change.

When Song Zhaodi was out of confinement, Dongbao arranged for her to help in the stove room of Baoji shop. The east room behind the shop was still vacant, so Song Zhaodi lived in the east room temporarily.Zhang Xiuyu was a little worried about this, because it was obvious that Song Zhaodi was here to pick up her shift, and she didn't want to stay at home after getting married, and she also wanted to come to Baoji to help, working for half a day every day, and the wages were generous, she and Liang Zi After discussing, Liang Zi also agreed that she would continue to work in Baoji after she got married.

"Dongbao, I...I made an agreement with Brother Liang, and I will help you after we get married." Zhang Xiuyu spoke to Dongbao eagerly, feeling a little embarrassed, her cheeks blushing.

Because in the eyes of people in this era, a cousin is more intimate than a cousin, Dongbao also understands why Zhang Xiuyu is so embarrassed.

"It's okay, don't worry about it." Dong Bao smiled, "I would love it if Brother Liang Zi agreed with you to help me. Several people can just share the work of you and Aunt Qiuxia. If you have any work in the future, you can arrange to recruit Sister Di. Go do it. But you all know what kind of temperament she is, if she is dishonest and unruly, you have to tell me as soon as possible."

Compared with Song Zhaodi, Dongbao of course trusts the simple and honest Zhang Xiuyu more.

Chunlei's daughter-in-law and the others who were busy in the shop naturally also saw Song Zhaodi, because they had been notified by Dong Bao in advance, so although they were surprised, they all kept silent, as if they had never seen Song Zhaodi before.

A few days later, Zhang Xiuyu whispered to Dong Bao in private, "I can do whatever I'm asked to do. She's quite honest, but she's a bit of a crapshooter. She likes to ask us about things about the parents and the west. Aunt Qiuxia doesn't talk to her very much. It's not easy for me to say anything to her. She wanted to go out yesterday afternoon, but my mother refused to let her go, and she didn't want to go out until you nodded. "

It seems that he is still very intimidating to Song Zhaodi, Dong Bao thought with a smile, and then said to Zhang Xiuyu: "If she wants to go out again in the future, don't stop her." Song Zhaodi has been imprisoned for nearly a year, and she It would be a miracle if he could hold back. Secondly, this matter cannot be covered with paper. It is impossible for Song Zhaodi to stay in the backyard for the rest of his life. Sooner or later, Song Yu will find out. If Song Yu finds out and comes to take Song Zhaodi away, then Even if Song Zhaodi's fate is bad, if Song Yu doesn't come to pick her up, Song Zhaodi will be truly free.

When it was Ching Ming Festival, Dong Bao and Lin Shi braved the drizzle and went to put Song Yang's grave together.Since last year, the Huang family has stopped visiting Song Yang's grave, as if he forgot that he had such a son. He just waits for Dongbao to go to the grave and let Da Mao and Er Mao go to the grave to bring back the offerings.

Dong Bao was very kind to his biological father with this body. Every time he went to the grave, he would prepare snacks, big meat and fish, which would be enough for the Song family to eat for two meals.

"A few times in a row, they didn't go to the grave." Old man Lin said to Lin Fu in a low voice, "Just now I saw that the big hair and the second hair came back with something, and there were two chopsticks stuck in the meat, they didn't get it from there Where did you get it?"

Lin Fu sighed helplessly, "I must be thinking about having Dong Bao go to the grave, they just don't care, just happy to have a leisurely time, poor Song Xiucai spent his whole life for his parents..."

At noon, Dong Bao had dinner at Lin's house. In the afternoon, when the two of them were driving the donkey cart and were about to go out, they saw old man Song standing at the door of Lin's house. He probably didn't expect the door of Lin's house to open suddenly. Old man Song was startled , the old man blushed, subconsciously turned around and was about to leave.

"Master, what's the matter?" Dong Bao called to old man Song.

Old man Song was so embarrassed, he quickly waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I just came here."

"Old Song, just tell me if you have anything to say, Dong Bao is your granddaughter, what can you not say?" Old man Lin shook his head and sighed.

Lin Fu and Aunt Qiuxia also chimed in, "That's right, Uncle Song, just speak up if you have anything to say!"

Dong Bao also smiled, nodded and said: "Master, if you have anything to ask, I will do it if I can."

Old man Song stopped, hesitated for a long time, then licked his lips, and opened his mouth with difficulty, "Dongbao, I heard that you also have business in Anzhou, can you ask about your third uncle... Ask someone to ask him if he will go home during the Dragon Boat Festival..."

Dong Bao was a little surprised, but felt that it was reasonable. Now that the Song family Youtian has her filial piety all year round, she basically has no worries about food and clothing. The only thing that can make old man Song worry about is Song Bai.

"How long has it been since your third child delivered a letter home?" Old Man Lin asked.

Old man Song's expression turned ugly, and he finally said, "It's been almost a year. I received a letter from him when the wheat was harvested last year. Until now..."

Aunt Qiuxia knew that Dongbao might not go to Anzhou once a month now, and if she wanted to find someone, she had to ask the son of the Wang family, which was too much trouble for him, so she smiled and said, "Uncle Song, every day in our village There are merchants from Anzhou who buy our tofu, have you asked them? Didn’t it mean that Dongbao’s third uncle is the shopkeeper, they must know each other!”

"I've asked one or two...the big place in Anzhou, I'm sure you'll know...the shop where he works has a lot of shops, maybe let him take care of other shops." Old man Song said vaguely .

Seeing old man Song trying to save face, blushing and looking pitiful with a thick neck, Dong Bao sighed quietly in his heart, and said, "I'll try to find out, and if I have a letter, I'll tell you."

"Hey, okay, Dong Bao, you can inquire about it." Old man Song got Dong Bao's guarantee, and with a smile on his face, he returned to Song's house as if he was relieved.

After Old Man Song and Dong Bao left, Aunt Qiuxia curled her lips and commented, "You'll have to save yourself!" She meant to say that Song Bai was the big shopkeeper, and he was promising to be the big shopkeeper, and she didn't send a word home for a year. Messages, and did not take a penny to the family.

When Dong Bao went to Anzhou again, he entrusted shopkeeper Liu of the tofu shop to inquire about Song Bai.At the same time, Dong Bao complained in his heart to Song Bai, who hadn't shown up for a year. He was the heart of old man Song and Mrs. Huang, and he was the favorite of the two old men, but he was so cold-hearted that he didn't go home for a year. Take a word.

Within two days, the boy from the Wang family who pulled tofu at the Baoji shop in the morning sent a message to Dongbao, saying that he had found Song Bai, who was working in a silk shop, doing some chores like bookkeeping.

Dong Bao nodded. Although he was not a big shopkeeper, it was still a legitimate business.

However, the young servant's face was a bit strange, and when there was no one around, he whispered to Dong Bao: "That shop is nominally owned by a Li Yuanwai, but in fact... it is the property that Li Yuanwai bought for his concubine. We found out that the third uncle of the girl used to work as a helper in a grain and oil shop, and then somehow met the man who was the doorkeeper for the lady in the outer room. The man recommended him to a silk shop. When we found him, we said that he Parents couldn't find him, so they asked someone to inquire about him, but he was a little impatient, saying that he was busy and didn't have time to go home during the Dragon Boat Festival this year."

Dong Bao's scalp was a little numb, she didn't expect Song Bai to do anything to honor her ancestors, the outside room is the outside room, as long as Song Bai can work peacefully and earn money, and do a job to earn a living.

"Oh, I'll trouble you." Dong Bao sincerely thanked him. She knew Song Bai's temper, and she probably had a very bad attitude at the time, which made things difficult for these young men who helped with the conversation.

It's just that the embarrassed expression on the boy's face continued, as if he couldn't make up his mind whether to continue talking, and finally said: "There is one more thing, one of my brothers heard about the outer room...not a serious background, Li Yuanwai's family If you don't agree to carry her in, you will raise her outside... The man who guards the door and the maid who waits on her are all brought out by her from unscrupulous places..."

The implication is that the man Song Bai knew didn't come from a decent place, and if he knew someone from that place, Song Bai might not be so peaceful in Anzhou.

What a shame to have such a third uncle!This is Dong Bao's only thought.

Probably seeing Dong Bao's embarrassment, the little servant hurriedly comforted him with kindness: "Miss Song, don't be angry, we all know that you and Song Bai are not the same. The reason why Song Bai didn't work in the grain and oil store back then was because of him. He has a bad temper, can't get along with other guys, is too lazy to work, and doesn't listen to discipline, so the shopkeeper kicked him out."

"Okay, I see, thank you little brother." Dong Bao thanked, and stuffed a money bag with a bunch of money in it. My brother bought some food."

The boy gave a few symbolic refusals, and happily took the money bag. He likes to do things for this Miss Song. Miss Song is generous, and she treats them to eat bean curd every time she comes. Reward, all the brothers rushed to get the tofu.

Dong Bao didn't plan to go back to Tagouji these few days, and planned to go back when the Dragon Boat Festival was delivered in early May, but old man Song couldn't wait, and took the initiative to come to Baoji shop in the town to ask Dong Bao for news.

It was almost noon when old man Song came over. He was standing at the door of the shop wearing a tattered straw hat and his hands behind his back. The veil around his neck was soaked with sweat, and his chest exposed in the open front of his clothes was extremely thin.

"Master, why are you here?" Dong Bao asked in surprise, "Come in quickly, sister-in-law Chunlei, and serve my grandfather a bowl of bean curd!"

Old man Song quickly waved his hand, "I don't want to eat anymore, the wheat harvest will be harvested soon, and I won't be free to come over in two days. Dong Bao, about your third uncle...how is your inquiry?"
