Song Xiuyan didn’t quite believe it. Ding Yao simply said, “… Song… Xiu… Yan…” Although her voice was soft, it was clearly audible. Song Xiuyan momentarily lost his composure. “You can really speak? When did you discover that you could speak?”

Ding Yao said, “Yesterday… at night…”

Song Xue hugged Ding Yao excitedly. “That’s great! Sister Ding Yao can speak!” The others were also very excited. When General Long Zhanyuan saw this scene, he didn’t mention the matter of going to the capital, but towards Ding Yao, he had an additional impulse to learn more about her.

After general Long Zhanyuan left, the villagers of the Song family village all knew that General Long Zhanyuan was going to bring the Song family to the capital. The entire village was talking about it, saying that the Song family’s luck had turned for the better. When Zhao Caiyun heard this, she became even more upset. If Song Xiuyan’s family went to the capital, she would be completely cut off from Song Xiuyan. What should she do?

At night, many villagers came to Song Xiuyan’s house. First, they asked if Song Xiuyan wanted his family to move to the capital. Second, they wanted to send some things to Song Yang. Song Yang was definitely going to the capital to join the army. In particular, Ah Jie’s family had sent many, many things. There were only two pairs of shoes, which Ah Jie’s mother had prepared for Ah Jie. Now that time was tight, there was no time to make them again. Fortunately, Song Yang’s feet were the same size as Ah Jie’s feet. They were grateful that Song Yang had stood up for Ah Jie, but they also felt guilty that they had almost caused Song Yang’s death because of Ah Jie’s matter.

Song Xiuyan faced the villagers and said with certainty, “My family won’t go to the capital. Only my second brother, Song Yang, will join the army.”

Zhao Caiyun, who had shamelessly followed them, heaved a sigh of relief when she heard these words. As long as Song Xiuyan’s family didn’t go to the capital, she still had a chance to marry Song Xiuyan. She first found Song Xue and sincerely apologized. Then, she pestered Song Xue to teach her how to weave ropes. Song Xue thought of how good Zhao Caiyun had been to her before, so she agreed. The two of them could be considered to have reconciled.

Song Yang thought about how he would be going to the capital in two days. He had to hurry up and do something for his family. He was no longer needed to dig for medicinal herbs. The children in the village could dig a lot every day. There were even some adults who helped dig. In any case, Ding Yao said that she would buy a large number of them. Therefore, Song Yang went to chop firewood. He made several trips a day. Today, he made two more trips. After lunch, he went up the mountain. No one could stop him.

Song Yu also went up the mountain with the children to dig for medicinal herbs. Song Xiuyan taught Ding Yao how to write in the study while Song Xue was in Song Yi’s room. She was talking to Song Yi while making ropes.

Zhao Caiyun came to look for Song Xue again. She said that a girl from a relative’s family came to her house and wanted to learn how to make ropes. However, the girl from a relative’s family was too shy to come over, so Zhao Caiyun came to look for Song Xue. Song Xue readily agreed. She informed Song Xiuyan and Ding Yao before going to Zhao Caiyun’s house.

Not long after, Zhao Caiyun came to look for Ding Yao again. She said that they had obtained a new type of complicated weave rope, and none of them could understand it. She hoped that Ding Yao could come over and help take a look. Ding Yao was already tired of writing to begin with. Thinking that it was fine to go out for a walk, she followed Zhao Caiyun to her house. She wasn’t afraid that Zhao Caiyun would plot against her. if she dared to plot against her, she would definitely pay back tenfold.

When they arrived at Zhao Caiyun’s house, Ding Yao saw Song Xue and a little girl studying how to weave a complicated rope. Seeing Ding Yao, Song Xue was very happy and immediately showed the complicated rope to Ding Yao. With an expectant look on her face, she asked, “Sister Ding Yao, you can see how this rope is woven, right?”

Ding Yao took it over and carefully examined it. After seeing some clues, she instructed them on how to weave it. Zhao Caiyun’s mother also came over to take a look. She asked this and that, asking non-stop. Then, she asked Zhao Caiyun to check if the sugar water was ready and said that she would treat them to some sugar water later. However, Zhao Caiyun went for a long time and didn’t come back. Zhao Caiyun’s mother said that she would also go over to take a look. Then, she turned around and disappeared.

Ding Yao felt confused. She felt that Zhao Caiyun and her daughter were acting strange. Coincidentally, she had finished giving them pointers, so she bade farewell to the little girl and pulled Song Xue home. She didn’t care about the sugar water in Zhao Caiyun’s house. She was curious about what Zhao Caiyun and her mother wanted to do.

Ding Yao and Song Xue had just walked out of Zhao Caiyun’s house when they heard Zhao Caiyun’s mother’s cries coming from their courtyard. “What a sin! How could this be?! My daughter! What should we do now?!”
