Chapter 2: Empty the Song family’s fortune

Mrs. Qin really didn't steal the money. She knew that the two women were wrongly accusing her, but she had already lost everyone's trust by falsely accusing Tang Bao of stealing the grain bag, and she was so angry that she bit her back molars.

Now everyone believed Song Rutang's words and were waiting for her to pay for it. Naturally, Mrs. Qin couldn't take it out, so she said with a livid face:

"There's no money! There's nothing! You two may have carved it out somewhere!"

She finally thought about it, admitting that she was trying to steal something was much better than asking her to pay for it. She couldn't take out so much money!I don’t know when this little thing Tang Bao became so weird!

Song Rutang shrugged and said helplessly to Mrs. Song:
"Grandma, look, our money has been taken away by my aunt. From now on, we can only rely on our family."

Ms. Yang was still looking forward to it, thinking that now that money was gone in the eyes of everyone, if everyone would no longer only focus on money, she would find an opportunity to use it to help when life gets harder, but Mrs. Song's tone became cold. :

"No money? Then you two should leave as soon as possible. The Song family has exhausted their kindness and righteousness by raising you too much. Now it's time for you two to leave."

Mrs. Song was very disappointed. She didn't expect that she didn't get the money, and she also raised two more losers.

Yang's heart suddenly went cold.

Song Rutang glanced at everyone's expressions and saw that they all looked like they wanted them to leave quickly. Knowing that if they stayed any longer, they would only be bullied, she pulled Xiao Yang to stand up:
"You can leave, but you have to return my mother's dowry."

She remembered clearly that the original owner had heard from many people that the Yang family brought a lot of dowry with them, but all of them were robbed by the Song family.

Mrs. Song felt a pinch in her neck, thinking that her family had money after all, even if Yang was allowed to take away the dowry, how much could she take away?It's better than asking them to stay and eat for nothing in these barren years!
Immediately he said: "Go and get it. Once you get it, leave immediately. From now on, our Song family will have nothing to do with your mother and daughter!"

Yang stopped struggling and pulled Song Rutang to get something from the luggage pile. The remaining tenderness in her heart was exhausted.

Song Rutang only took a small baggage and simply packed it with some clothes and daily necessities. The baggage was not even full, so he threw the baggage to the Song family under their expectant eyes.

"Here, this is yours."

The Song family looked at each other, why was this different from what they expected?Why were they kicked out?

Mr. Song, the fourth ruffian, smiled, moved to the front of the mule cart and blocked the way of the couple, and stretched out his hand to pull the hemp rope pulling the mule.

"It's not very kind of you to do this. All you have to do is take away your dowry. Why, you see that we are easy to bully and you want to take all your belongings with us?"

Song Rutang glanced at his head sympathetically and said sympathetically:
"Uncle, it's not your fault. It doesn't matter if you don't know."

"Hey what do you mean? Looking down on me?"

Song Laosi covered his head to prevent Song Rutang from looking at him. He instantly felt that he was being ridiculed. He turned to his family for help, but saw that they were also looking at the burden and had not yet fully reacted.

"When my mother got married, the Song family was in a very poor state. They worked as cattle and horses for the landlords. The fact that they were able to accumulate the family property to this level was all because of my mother's more than ten boxes of dowry!"

Song Rutang was driving the mule and was about to leave, but was blocked by several men from the Song family.

"You can't take this thing. It's just a few pieces of clothing. Why do you want to empty out the Song family's wealth? You're not afraid of making people laugh if you tell me!"

Mrs. Song changed her mind and winked at the Song family's daughters-in-law. A group of people blocked the entrance of the cave and even brought sticks.

Yang pulled Song Rutang's sleeve.

Song Rutang looked back and saw that she still couldn't bear it in her eyes, and sighed. "It's okay to keep things, but you have to remember that this is my mother's divorce, not being divorced from the Song family. This needs to be said to the outside world. In addition, you must also write a letter to my mother. I will give you an IOU, and when we meet again in the future, I will make up for my mother’s dowry.”

Mrs. Song wanted to return the betrothal gift, but after thinking about it, she thought, when the Song family came to propose marriage, how could they give any betrothal gift?
After all, these two women may not be able to survive in troubled times. If they don't survive, they will starve to death in a few days. What do they have to pay for their dowry by then?
He turned back and pointed at Song Laoer, the only literate person in the family, and said, "Laoer, you write for them."

Song Laoer immediately went to the mule cart to find paper and pen, quickly wrote the IOU and threw it to Yang.

Yang's eyes turned red and she wanted to say something else, but Song Rutang took her away with her luggage.

Not long after the two walked out of the cave, Yang shed tears.

"Tang Bao, I really can't worry about my family. Your grandmother's legs and feet are often inconvenient, and your eldest and second aunts don't know how to serve others. If in the future..."

"Mother," Song Rutang wiped Yang's tears, asked her to look at the wounds all over her body, and said seriously:

"If your daughter is injured like this, if you want to feel sorry for her, why not feel sorry for those jackals?"

"But I promised your father that I would take good care of him..."

"Mom, dad is gone, now we have to move on."

Song Rutang knew very well that if she wanted to sever ties with that top family, she would have to make her mother-in-law a little harder-hearted. She opened her sleeves and showed her the mottled bruises on her body:

"We have left the Song family. We will go our own way in the future. Don't ask about our predecessors again. Those people really don't deserve your sincerity."

Yang finally hardened her heart and cried while covering Song Rutang's wound. However, after being trapped in the Sifangyuan for decades, she finally lost her backbone when she was freed.

"Then what should we do next?"

"That group of people are going east, so let's go east too, to Quyang County."

Song Rutang laid out a simple map with a tree branch. Recalling the map that the original owner had seen in his father's study, he pointed to the east end of the tree branch and said:
"My daughter has read in her father's book that there is a sea in the east with plenty of water, so we will go to Quyang County. We will take the shortest road and pass through Yuyang County, Anping County, Lu County and Shangning County. .

We started from Wuzhong County and are now in Yanping County. We have reached the end and will reach Yuyang County tomorrow morning. "

Yang looked up at her daughter who had changed a lot overnight. Her heart was full of sourness and she couldn't help but blame herself.

It was because of her uselessness that her daughter had to shoulder this important responsibility that was originally hers to bear.

Song Rutang didn't think so much, but she was glad that Yang was willing to listen to her, and the calculations in her heart were pounding.

Quyang County is the closest to the capital and is close to the sea, so it is not prone to drought. If she goes there, she might be able to gain a foothold based on her ability in modern times.

Now that he was out of crisis, he calmed down and relaxed for a moment before remembering the food system that had just been bound before the time travel.

I shouted several times but got no response.

Maybe you didn't follow?
Song Rutang stopped worrying about this, and turned to thinking about the next meal, and whispered to Yang:

"We have to steal the grain bag."
