I Saved the Young Master from Fire and Water

Chapter 281 Cangshan Town

　　"Hey~"

　　Song Chuying imitated the adults' sighing, and everyone's child sighed loudly. The scene was so funny.

　　Xia Ning couldn't help but laugh, "Why are you sighing again?"

　　"Hey~ Sister Xia, do you see the little girl in the crowd wearing a gray cloth dress with short trouser legs?"

　　Song Chuying leaned her body against Sister Xia, and she stuck out her chin to gesture towards the crowd not far away.

　　Xia Ning couldn't help but look in the direction, and after a few glances she found the little girl that Ying Jie'er had mentioned. She looked thin and small, with messy hair, and a pale yellow face the size of a palm. It was obvious that she was malnourished due to long-term hunger.

　　The clothes she was wearing were also very old. They were probably altered from adults' clothes. I don't know how many times they had been mended. There were already several patches on the clothes. The straw sandals on her feet exposed her toes. At first glance, this little girl looked the most pitiful.

　　"I saw it, what's wrong?"

　　Song Chuying sighed and said, "During the lunch break, didn't the villagers make a big noise? It was the little girl's father beating her mother~"

　　"Ah?" Song Yunxi was very surprised and couldn't help but cover her mouth with a silk handkerchief.

　　Xia Ning asked curiously, "How did you know?"

　　How could a little kid like her know something that even the adults didn't know?

　　"Yes, when did you become so familiar with them?" Song Yunxi also looked at her cousin with curiosity.

　　Song Chuying raised her chin, "Well, of course I saw it myself! After eating fried chicken, I went to the bushes to relieve myself, and when I came back, I saw it, so I slipped into their crowd. Coincidentally, a few aunts were talking about their family affairs, so I overheard it.

　　The little girl is called Zhang Liuya. She has five older sisters. I heard that the first four were either sold or exchanged for dowry money. Now only she and her five older sisters are left. Her father wants to have a son, but her mother can't seem to have one, so her father often beats her mother. What do you think, is Liuya's father really annoying?"

　　Song Yunxi said softly, "Well... since ancient times, men have hoped to have a male heir to carry on the family line. It's not wrong for Liu Ya's father to want a son..."

　　Facing her cousin's questioning gaze, Song Yunxi quickly said, "But as a husband, he shouldn't hit his wife. After all, his wife is the one who will accompany him until old age."

　　Perhaps because they were influenced by the harmonious and friendly atmosphere of the Song family since childhood, Song Yunxi and Song Chuying, who grew up in such an environment, did not suffer any unfair treatment of boys over girls. Secondly, they did not have the cognition and concept that being a wife means being humble and compromising.

　　Although they know that the outside world is different from the situation in their home, knowing is one thing and being educated is another.

　　When educating their children, the Song family has always been more in accordance with the children's nature, and will not overly change or solidify their children's personalities. As a family of military generals, they have a more scattered and casual approach, so the children of the Song family have different personalities, and they all maintain a sincere and kind heart.
