“A kind of where?”
Compared to Huang Si, Song Ming was much greedier.
He had it all figured out, after selling the secret recipe, he would just buy a big mansion in the county and hide away for two or three years without leaving home, even if they wanted to settle accounts with him over there, they wouldn’t be able to find anyone. If he could not sell that much silver for just one kind, how could he buy a house, a beautiful wife or maids and servants?
“My big brother yo, don’t you think about it, one kind can also sell for quite a lot of silver.”
“No, you wait, I have my own way.”
Huang Si wanted to split open his head to see if it was full of paste, with the momentum of the hot pot now, one could sell for a lot of money.
“What can you do about it? Unless you can put someone in there, but is that possible? They ……”
Plant people?
Song Ming thought of Erma, that dead girl lived over there all day long, she could see how the ingredients were over there.
After taking two steps, he turned back, “Did you guys come to get any food?”
“Two boxes of snacks.”
Song Ming turned to Song Gua’s house and saw that the two boxes of dim sum had been opened and Song Gua was sitting on the side stuffing them into her mouth. He walked over, picked out a good piece, turned and walked out to the Song family door, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
“Who is it?”
Song Lin’s voice came from inside.
Song Ming subconsciously shook a few times in his heart, thinking of the purpose of his visit, he gritted his teeth and held on, “It’s me, my sister’s family is here, I’ve come to lead Erma over to play with Hua’er.”
As soon as she heard his voice, Er Ya was so scared that she burrowed into Grandma Song’s arms.
Grandma Song hugged her heartily, gesturing for her not to be afraid.
“Er Ya doesn’t want to go, you go back.”
How could Song Ming be willing to go back when her purpose had not been achieved!
He retreated in order to advance, “Hua’er has been clamouring for Erma to play, or I’ll send her over?”
Song Lin got impatient and put down the ingredients in his hand, got up and opened the door and walked out and closed it behind him, “Are you done with this? Erma doesn’t want to go.”
Song Ming suppressed the fear in his heart and strained his neck, “Er Ya is my daughter, she wasn’t sold to your family, why are you stopping her from going back?”
“What are you saying?”
Song Lin grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.
Song Ming immediately howled away, “Hitting someone! Beating someone up!”
“Boss, come back!”
Elder Song’s voice came out.
Song Lin let go of his hand and pushed him, “Get lost! Don’t force me to beat you up!”
After saying that, he turned around and went back, banging the door shut.
Song Ming was undeterred, “Erma, your aunt has bought you some delicious snacks, come out and take a look.”
Erma hid in Grandma Song’s arms and covered her little ears.
The Song family also turned a deaf ear.
Song Ming shouted for half a day, but did not hear any movement from Erma, so he went back home resentfully.
He was so angry that he threw the snacks on the table, “Damn girl, she doesn’t even recognize her own father, let’s see if I catch her that day and beat her to death.”
Song Gua picked up the snacks and broke a piece into her mouth, glancing at him, “Those two money-losers are both white-eyed wolves, if you ask me, sell them earlier and save your heart.”
When Song Lian and Huang Si suddenly returned and Song Ming took the dim sum to coax Er Ya, Song Gua’s thought that the two Song Lian had come to take Er Ya to sell.
“No, I have to think of another way.”
……
At noon, before Song Ming’s daughter-in-law returned to stand on her feet, Song Ming came out of the house and said with a sullen face, “You go and fetch Erma back to play with Hua’er.”
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law instantly looked at him in horror.
“What’s that look on your face? Er Ya is my own daughter, how can I sell her? Hua’er came here for a visit after a long time, what’s wrong with letting Er Ya keep her company?”
“Er, Er, Er Ya she, she, she ……”
“She what she? She’s already signed the deed of sale, she’s someone over there, I wouldn’t have the qualifications to sell even if I wanted to. I’ll tell you what, I’m in a good mood today, I’m not in a hurry with you, you go and get Erma back now, and then take Erma back after dinner, go now!”
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law held on to the corner of her coat for dear life and stood still.
Huang Si came out of the house with a leathery smile, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry, we won’t do anything to Er Ya, she’s so young, one can’t be a maid, two can’t ……”
can’t what, he didn’t say instead he smiled, “sister-in-law believe me, really just shouting for Erma to come back and play with Hua’er.”
“She, she, she’s eating, she has to nap after eating, just, just don’t call her back.”
“Don’t you want to be punished for not eating wine?”
Song Ming took a few steps forward and swung his hand up, Huang Si hurriedly came forward to stop him, “Brother, don’t get angry, sister-in-law has misunderstood us, forget it, forget it, don’t ask Er Ya to come back, we’ll leave later.”
“What’s the point of calling that money-loser back? Don’t talk to her, tell her to get lost and go and cook.”
Song Gua’s heard the two men and came out of the house.
When Song Ming’s daughter-in-law heard her words, she was relieved instead and quickly went to the kitchen.
Song Ming was furious, but he couldn’t go in and drag her out by force, so he couldn’t help but complain to Song Gua’s, “You’re the only one who talks too much.”
Song Gua’s triangular eyes instantly glared up, “What did you say, say it again! ……”
“Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, Hua’er is still in the house, don’t scare her.” Huang Si finished and went forward to help Song Gua’s, taking advantage of the situation to stuff a small corner of silver to her.
Song Gua’s howl was instantly mute in her throat, and she gave a fierce grunt towards Song Ming, turning around and going into the house.
Huang Si pulled Song Ming into the house again, having just asked him why he wanted to bring Er Ya back.
“Still have to start with sister-in-law, you listen to me, one kind is one kind, let’s get the silver first, long time may give birth to something else change.”
Song Ming’s gaze was sunken in the direction of the kitchen house, “Stinking b*tch, don’t blame me if you don’t eat the penalty wine.”
……
The night was late and quiet.
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law, who was curled up in a corner and was sleeping, was suddenly grabbed by Song Ming’s hair and yanked up, her hostile face coming up to her, looking at the panic in her eyes and speaking grimly, “I’m asking you to say, if you dare not tell the truth, I’ll take a knife and chop you up and throw you to the mountains to feed the dogs.”
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law’s body trembled uncontrollably.
“I’m asking you, what’s in the hot pot base?”
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law shook her head frantically.
Song Ming threw her on the kang and pulled the quilt over her, his fists raining down, something Huang Si had taught him today so as not to leave marks on the person.
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law bit her lip to death and didn’t say a word.
When Song Ming got tired of beating her, he removed the quilt and tugged her hair, “Say it or not?”
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law still shook her head.
Another head-bashing punch came down.
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law almost fainted from the pain, but still clenched her teeth and didn’t say a word.
Tired of the beating, Song Ming yanked her hair again, “I’ll tell you clearly, if you tell me what’s in the hot pot base, I’ll spare you, otherwise I’ll beat you every day from now on, I’ll see how long you can last.”
