Chapter 1: Framed?Take your mother to reconcile!

"We don't care about this matter. You two are guarding the grain bag. If the grain is lost, you have to give me an explanation!"

"You have beaten Tang Bao like this, what explanation do you want from us? Do you have to force us two to death?"

Song Rutang had a splitting headache and struggled to get up, only to find that she was being held by her mother, Yang, and crying.

After coughing a few times, he sat up weakly and raised his eyes to look at the people in front of him who were looking for trouble.

The leader is her eldest aunt Qin who always likes to stir up trouble. She is holding a stick at her waist, pretending to beat Yang again:
"Two dirty things stole food and refused to admit it. Today I will correct this family tradition for my mother!"

Yang's eyes were filled with tears and she felt that she was useless. She hugged Song Rutang tightly and protected her in her arms.

Song Rutang's mind cleared up a little, and a memory belonging to the original person flooded into her mind. After a while, she finally understood that she had been framed by a top relative.

"Auntie, don't you know exactly what happened? Did I steal the food and empty it out, or did you hide the food and frame us in order to drive us out?"

After hearing this, a group of people burst into laughter, pointing at Song Rutang and laughing, many of them looking at her critically.

Song Laoer was encouraged by his wife to step forward and said in a loud voice:

"Tang Bao, your ability to tell lies is getting better and better now. Everyone saw the cake in your arms this morning. Why don't you admit it now?"

Yang's eyes turned red and she said softly:
"Brothers and sisters-in-law, our Tangbao has never done anything sneaky. You all have watched Tangbao grow up in the past. Naturally, you know what kind of temper Tangbao is. There is no way he would do such a thing."

"Not to mention that I didn't eat the bread. Even if I ate it secretly, how could I eat all that big bag of grain in one night?"

Song Rutang noticed that Yang was trembling and stood in front of her to confront the ugly-faced relatives of the family.

The few people made eye contact, Qin rolled her eyes a few times, and then opened her mouth to play the emotional card to Yang:
"In these famine years, if people are hungry, no matter how well-behaved a child is, they can do things like stealing. But after all, we have watched Tangbao grow up. My third daughter-in-law, you don't want Tangbao to be a thief. Spread the word?"

Boss Song cleared his throat and finally said the key point:
"The third child died in the war, and the court also gave him a lot of money as a pension. Look, the food has been taken away by Tang Bao. As a mother, you have to be responsible for our whole family. You have to spend this money... "

A group of people stared at Mr. Yang, looking like they were going to publicize this scandal without giving them any money.

Song Rutang understood the whole story and made the group laugh angrily. He held Yang's hand that wanted to settle the matter and pay for the money. Knowing that it was useless to reason about the matter, he waved to Liangbao who was hiding behind the crowd:

"Liangbao, come here, sister asks you, what did you see when you got up last night?"

Liangbao was so frightened by this situation that he hid behind his mother and did not dare to speak.

"Children can't lie, and they can't say nothing when they see it, otherwise their noses will grow very long, and no one will like Liangbao by then, and they will beat Liangbao with a stick like his mother-in-law. .”

Song Rutang had a serious face, ignored Yang's obstruction, pointed to the wounds everywhere on his body, and motioned to Liangbao: Look, if you lie, you will be beaten like this.

"Your sister is scaring you, stop talking nonsense!"

Liangbao cowered in fear at Song Rutang's words. Mrs. Qin was afraid that he would do something bad, so she pulled Liangbao over and covered his mouth.But he didn't expect that as soon as Liangbao was pulled, he thought Qin was going to hit him and started crying on the spot.

"My mother didn't sleep at night. She got up secretly and took the grain bag away. She also put a piece of cake in my sister's clothes."

Qin couldn't help but cover her mouth, her face turned pale on the spot, and she had no choice but to spank Liangbao hard:
"Bad things!"

Liangbao cried even harder, touching his nose and howling: "I didn't lie, I didn't lie!"

Seeing this situation, how can everyone still not understand?He stood far away from Mr. Song and his family.

Song Laoer's voice was deep: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean? You didn't say anything about slandering Tang Bao, but you also tricked us into doing bad things with you?"

He was filled with anger after being deceived and felt that he had lost face.

He was led by someone's nose, refused to ask for money, and turned into a bad person. If word of this spreads, how will others think of him in the future?It would be better to directly discuss grabbing money from the third wife, which is better than what we are doing now!
Song Rutang smiled and touched the wound on his head. It had been bandaged briefly, but there was still blood stains from Yin later, and he said to Qin:

"Auntie, it's time for you to give an explanation to my mother and niece. Look at how cruel you have been to me in order to frame me. This injury can't be cured with less than ten taels of silver."

"you!"

Mrs. Qin glared, pointed at Song Rutang and wanted to scold him, but Boss Song grabbed him and pointed his mouth at the entrance of the cave.

She turned her head and looked back, and found that Mrs. Song, who had been eavesdropping outside the cave for a long time, came out and tapped the ground with her cane.

Everyone fell silent, and Mrs. Song was helped forward and smiled very gently at Mr. Yang:
"Third daughter-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law wrongly blamed you for this. I don't blame you, but you see, our food is getting less and less now. We have to go to the city to buy some food. Each family has some money. "

As Mrs. Song spoke, she bumped Mr. Song with her elbow.

Song Laoer understood and said loudly: "Yes, each of our families will contribute some of this money. Everyone knows that my family is poor, and our total family wealth only has two taels of silver. This time my family will contribute one tael!"

Mrs. Qin was afraid that Boss Song would talk too much to save face, so she immediately answered:

"When my family packed up their things and prepared to flee, they didn't bring any money. They only had five hundred coins. My family paid two hundred coins!"

So everyone turned their attention to Yang again.

Mrs. Yang was so excited that she thought about the more than ten taels of silver she had at home. Why would she have to spend half of it?

Although Song Rutang had just traveled through time and had no feelings for Yang, she couldn't bear to have her family's wealth divided by these people. She gave Yang a look and said aggrievedly:
"You have to ask your eldest aunt about this matter. Last night when your eldest aunt was passing things along, she also found out the money on your mother's body and took it away."

Yang was slightly startled, then reacted immediately, her mind clearing up in an instant.That's what my husband paid for with his life!Why should she give up to these people who beat her daughter?
He pretended to take out his pocket, took out a handful of air, and said in shock:
"It's really gone! Sister-in-law, why do you still do this?"

Song Rutang was overjoyed. She didn't expect this mother to be so righteous, so she followed suit and said:
"Auntie, this morning my niece was forced by you not to say anything about it. Now that her grandmother is supporting her, my niece dares to ask you, where did you hide the money?"
