Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 381 Scar

Aunt Lian was stunned for a moment. It was the first time someone told her to take care in the Shen Mansion. She raised the corners of her lips, wanting to smile, but only a hint of powerless bitterness came out.

"There are a lot of people on the street, find a breathable cloth to cover the cage."

Song Ying walked out with the cage, saying, "Okay, I got it."

She walked forward all the way to the end of the road. When she was about to turn the corner, she couldn't help but look back and saw Aunt Lian standing by the door. The midday sun was pouring down from above her head. She seemed to have melted into the light, bright and dim, but her face and expression could not be seen clearly. Only a tall and thin outline remained.

After turning the corner, Aunt Lian's figure could no longer be seen.

Song Ying returned to the courtyard, found a piece of dark cotton cloth from her backpack and covered the bamboo cage with it, then left with all her belongings.

When she first came to the Shen Mansion, she only brought a few sets of clothes. Now when she left, in addition to her clothes, her backpack also contained copied study notes, Tangtang's cat bed and mattress, etc.

On this day, Song Ying did not go to the clinic. She and Luo Yanxing worked for most of the day and finally tidied up the house to make it look presentable.

When the sky was full of sunset glow, Second Aunt Song came back with a food box in her hand. She smiled and said, "Today is our first day here, let's celebrate!"

As he spoke, he saw that the two of them were covered in dirt and dust, and then he said, "You two go take a shower first. I'll take the food to the kitchen to heat it up."

Song Ying wiped her face and found that there was indeed a lot of dust. "Okay, then you take a rest first, and heat up the food later. We will take a bath for a while."

"What's the big deal? Let me boil some water for you two to take a bath, and then you can keep the food warm with the remaining fire." Aunt Song said as she went to the kitchen quickly.

Song Ying and Luo Yanxing quickly chased after him, "We are the younger generation, how can we ask you to boil water for us to take a bath? We can do it ourselves."

When Luo Yanxing was at home, she was the one who heated the water for her parents, whether it was for bathing, washing feet or washing hair. It was never her parents who heated the water for her. When Song Ying was at home, although Second Aunt heated the water for bathing, it was mainly for Li and others, and it was just for her.

The first time their elders heated water for them to take a bath, both of them felt ashamed and unable to accept it.

Aunt Song said, "There's no need to distinguish between elders and juniors in this matter. Just do it in the most convenient way. If that's the case, then only aunts should take care of nieces. Shouldn't I let Yingwa find a job for me?"

“This is different,”

Song Ying had just started when Second Aunt Song pushed her back, "Alright, wash your hands and get some clean clothes."

After saying that, she went to the kitchen to boil water.

The past one or two months have been the most relaxing time for Second Aunt Song since she could remember. Every day, she followed Shopkeeper Cen to various mansions to deliver clothes and fabrics, which were delivered by cart.

Generally, it's just a little hard to get on and off the vehicle. Most of the servants in the mansions are very nice and will help you move when you get there. Even if you meet someone who doesn't want to help, it's not a big deal. They're just some cloth and clothes, a big bundle isn't that heavy, and it's much easier than carrying manure or water.

Apart from that, she also helped with cooking and fetching water. The so-called heavy work in Yunxiu Tower was nothing in her opinion.

Besides, Shopkeeper Cen was a kind person. He never beat or scolded employees like her and was always very friendly. He also got along well with other people in the building.

No need to worry about when a fist will fall on you, no need to worry about being scolded for something you haven’t said, eat well and sleep well every day, there will be no better life than this.

Song Ying and Luo Yanxing looked at each other and had to go upstairs to get their clothes.

By the time they boiled the water and took a bath, it was almost dark, so they sat under the patio to blow their hair and wait for Song Ergu to finish her bath before eating.

Song Ying felt that the water on her legs had not been wiped dry. There were only three of them in the yard, so there was nothing to worry about, so she rolled up her trouser legs.

Luo Yanxing had just glanced at it casually, but he found a scar as thick as his index finger on the outside of Song Ying's left knee. It was quite long, about half a finger long, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Hey, why do you have a scar here?"

Song Ying took a look and shook his head, "I don't know. The other leg has one too. It's longer than this one. I've had it since I can remember."

Luo Yanxing leaned over to look at the other side, and sure enough, there was a long scar in almost the same position with a fold in the middle of the scar, as if the wound was too big to heal, so it had to be stitched with a needle.

She frowned and said, "I've had it since I can remember. Could it be that your second aunt abused you when you were a child?"

"That shouldn't be the case. My second aunt isn't that bad."

"Then how did you get these two scars?" Luo Yanxing didn't believe her at all. "Two big scars like these must have been caused by a lot of injuries. If it was on one side, it could have been caused by a kitchen knife or scissors accidentally rubbing against you when you were cooking or cutting clothes. But there are scars on both sides. That's impossible!"

Song Ying had never thought about this question in detail before, and was stunned at this moment. Yes, how did these two large and symmetrical scars come about?

She couldn't help but feel nervous, wondering if she was really being abused by someone?

The area around the knees is very private when wearing pants, and Second Aunt probably doesn't have the courage to do that. She has been sleeping with her grandmother since she was a child, so it would be easy for her to be discovered.

Was that done by grandma?

Suddenly, she remembered what she had heard from the villagers in the past, that her grandmother did not like her mother, and after her death, her father insisted on not remarrying for her sake. Could it be because of this?

Grandma wants to kill herself secretly and then let dad remarry?

Then, she remembered Li's disapproving attitude when Aunt Liu wanted to bury her granddaughter alive that day, and thought that she should not be so cruel, so she denied her guess.

She pursed her lips and said, "Next time I go back, I'll ask my grandma."

"What do you want to ask your grandma?" At this time, Second Aunt Song came out of the bath and asked after hearing this.

"Song Ying has two long scars next to her knees, and she has no idea what happened." Luo Yanxing answered first, her tone very angry. She was sure that it was Yang who did it!

In that family, she is the only one who has no blood relationship with Song Ying. No matter how badly others treat Song Ying, they would not be so cruel.

"Those two scars, it's all your grandma's fault."

Upon hearing this tone, Song Ying hurriedly asked, "Second Aunt, do you know these two scars of mine?"

Luo Yanxing was shocked and said, "Was it Grandma Li who did it? She is so cruel. Song Ying is her granddaughter. How could she have the heart to do this?"

Then she remembered that Li didn't like Song Ying's mother, Wang, so she asked, "Isn't she taking revenge on Song Ying for her hatred for her daughter-in-law?"

Aunt Song quickly explained: "You've got it wrong. Mother really doesn't like Wang or Song Ying, but since she took out so much food to feed her, how could she deliberately abuse her?"
