C87 mother and child
This was the first time the new young master of the Song Family came to visit. When the young master, who was the most knowledgeable in the village, heard the news, the entire village came to the Song Family as if it was a walk in the park.
The countryside bumpkins who had cultivated their entire lives held a different kind of respect for scholars. Even the fact that the Elementary Scholars had given them the same gift was seen as a sign that they were willing to give their blessings and expectations to their brother-in-law.
There were simply too many people, so Song Youfu moved tables and stools and placed them in the courtyard, allowing them to chat.
Wu Niang held onto a bowl and a water bottle, and stood outside the crowd, feeling very lucky in her heart. These people were inexperienced, they looked at their brother as if they were looking at some rare object, and so did the Song Family. In the past, their brother's health was not well, so the matter of going back home was put down like this.
The more Wu Niang thought, the angrier she got. She squeezed through the crowd and poured water for everyone with a cold face, not even bothering to pay attention to the elders who were talking to her. She put down the water bottle and left.
No matter what the reason was, the Elementary Scholar still felt that his face was not very good, and immediately smiled and apologized. The Elementary Scholar truly admired the scholar, and considering that he was the new Young Master of the Song Clan, he took the initiative to pass the steps, easily resolving the awkwardness.
Song Youfu sat on the chair and puffed his cigarette. Although he did not say anything, he still smiled.
Mian Niang, who was standing beside her mother, was surrounded by a group of aunts. Looking at her father's smile through the cracks in the crowd, she suddenly felt that everything was unimportant, and her family's happiness was more important than anything else.
Mian Niang greeted her mother and headed to the kitchen to help. Naturally, she had those close relatives and relatives who came to help him kill the chickens and pick vegetables, and when they saw what was missing in her house, they volunteered to help him go home and get it.
It was noon and the crowd gradually dispersed. Those close to the family or who had good relations with the Song Family naturally stayed to drink with them.
The Elementary Scholar listened attentively to the compliments and gradually started to feel at ease again. However, he had always kept in mind the matter of him getting into trouble after drinking too much at Gu Yan's home, and his fear of Mian Niang in addition. This time, he did not dare to drink too much and only said that he had just recovered and was going to report to the Academy to report it the next time, so he was not good at drinking.
He had a delicate and refined appearance, and his speech was elegant. He exuded the aura of a scholar, and it was very easy for him to gain a favorable impression of him.
Everyone in the village was a farmer, so after hearing his words, they didn't try to force him anymore.
When Wu Niang saw the smiles on Song Youfu's and Madame Song's faces, she was still very angry. She turned around and returned to the kitchen, passing Mian Niang who was filling up the dishes and said with hatred: "This time, you're really lucky."
Unfathomable.
Mian Niang glanced at her, she was not willing to fight with her in such a situation, so she ignored her.
He returned to the kitchen and directly smashed her on the floor. The female servants in the kitchen hurriedly avoided him, afraid that he would cause a conflict with her and cause the Song Family to lose face, but when he turned around, his expression did not look good. They looked at each other and revealed an understanding look, then twitched their mouths at her figure and walked out the door to discuss quietly.
She had already been married for quite a while, and she already had some understanding of her nature. She used to think that it was because she felt wronged that the number one beauty in the Eight Mile Village had changed to Song Zhixiao as her daughter-in-law. Now, it seemed that it was not possible to say who had wronged someone as honest and honest as Song Zhixiao.
When the two of them said this, they couldn't help but feel lucky for Mian Niang. "Fortunately, that Elementary Scholar looks gentle and easygoing, and is much better than his little sister.
Lucky, Mian Niang is very capable. Originally, when she was not married, she was already a skilled worker outside the house, but now that she is married, look at how long she has been working every day, she is already dark and thin, and such a capable woman, whoever marries her would not be blessed, furthermore, her beauty is not that good. Look at her, her pretty face is not that good, look at how she is worse off compared to Wu Niang, look at how much work she did, after marrying into this house, it is Old Uncle's aunt's temper, who else would be so tolerant of her.
Seeing Mian Niang walking over, the two of them quickly stopped talking.
Mian Niang thanked the two of them with a smile: "It's all thanks to the two sister-in-law's help. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to eat this meal right now."
"You're right, I'm not an outsider, so why are you being so courteous?"
Wu Niang looked at the few people in the kitchen and coldly snorted.
The three of them pretended not to hear him, and no one paid any attention to them.
After eating lunch for a while, the crowd dispersed and cleaned up. It was already afternoon.
Madame Song Li missed tofu hyacinth who was home alone and did not leave two people behind. She gave the Elementary Scholar two pairs of shoes that she had specially made for him and urged the two of them to return quickly.
The Elementary Scholar did not want to stay here in the first place, so when he heard Mian Niang's words, he couldn't help but want to leave quickly. However, it was not good to show it.
Wu Niang originally wanted to have a good talk with his brother, but she didn't expect that his brother would impatiently leave. This time, she wasn't even willing to send her off, and directly went back to her room and slammed the door.
The Elementary Scholar thought of this girl and was about to ask if she was going back when she was startled by the sound of her slamming the door. He remembered that his sister had been flinging her face away for others to see, but now that she was gone, he was no longer there.
He immediately became angry and changed his mind. He turned his head and waited for Mian Niang to drive the carriage away.
Song Youfu and Madame Song Li did not know how to mediate, and could only look at her daughter helplessly. Mian Niang did not plan to get involved with this siblings affairs, and did not say much either.
When they returned home, tofu hyacinth was still angry. Not to mention being a daughter-in-law, he didn't even have a good face for his son.
In her heart, her son was no longer on her side. She believed that he would soon be completely on her daughter-in-law's side. In her eyes, her son was already a traitor.
His little sister was like this, his own mother was the same. The Elementary Scholar looked at Mian Niang who was packing her things, and felt extremely depressed in her heart.
At dinner, the mother and son pair did not talk much. At night, tofu hyacinth brought the money they had prepared beforehand to his son's room. Originally, she wanted to say a few words, but when she thought about it, since Mian Niang was still around and did not want to speak first, she lost the dignity of a mother and left without a word.
The next morning, after breakfast, the Elementary Scholar sat in a carriage and headed to the academy.
Seeing his son leave, tofu hyacinth seemed to have woken up. He used his walking stick to walk to the entrance, wanting to talk to his son. However, the Elementary Scholar had already walked further and further away. She tried to shout, but her son couldn't hear her.
Mian Niang returned to the courtyard in low spirits. After sending the Elementary Scholar away, she planned to go out to sell tofu.
The two daughter-in-law looked at each other and had nothing more to say. Just like that, one of them went back to the house, the other left the village.
The Elementary Scholar left and two days later, he sent a message back saying that everything had been settled. The teacher was very pleased with his return to class and was very satisfied with his present, but decided to stay in the academy and study. This time, there was nothing he would not do.
After tofu hyacinth sent the messenger away, he turned around and cried.
She had been widowed when she was young and worked hard for the sake of her children, especially her son. She had invested a lot of energy into him, but who would have thought that after his son married his wife and forgot his mother, he would throw a tantrum at her.
But in the end, she still doted on her son and did not get angry at him. Instead, she blamed everything on Mian Niang and became more and more unsatisfied with her daughter-in-law.
The Mei Family did not get along with her wife, so these words quickly spread throughout the entire village. There were rumors everywhere, but Mian Niang was not at home all day, so no one could talk to her about it anymore. Apricot Flower knew about this matter, but it was not easy to tell it to Mian Niang, as she was afraid that the two of them might get into a fight over it.
On the other hand, after Gu Wen went around the village twice and found out everything, he told Gu Xin everything after returning to the Gu Mansion.
Gu Xin proudly raised his feet, and spoke to Gu Wen with determination: "Just look, before long, the Elementary Scholar will write a rest letter to Ah Mang."
That day, he was so infuriated by the intimacy of the two that he directly went to find Gu Wen and asked him what was wrong with the Sai Sien Xian.
Gu Wen did not dare to offend him, and immediately followed him on a trip to the town to find Sai Sien Xian to denounce him. Gu Yan did not reveal himself, and only followed behind Gu Wen as he pretended to be a guest, secretly following behind Gu Wen when the two of them were looking for a quiet place to talk. Gu Wen heard everything that the Sai Sien Xian said clearly, and he was still suspicious of the situation, but after thinking for a long while, he finally understood what the mother and son pair were thinking.
He could not help but feel sorry for Mian Niang who had been used by others, working day and night to save money for the Elementary Scholar's family. However, when he thought of how Mian Niang had helped the Elementary Scholar with all her heart, he felt sad and angry, because such a conflict made him feel awkward and uncomfortable, thus, he knew that the Elementary Scholar had already gone to the academy, and he forced himself not to look for Mian Niang.
At the same time, he heard what Gu Wen said, and acted as if he did not care, and said to Gu Wen: "But he deserves it, who told his to be stupid. He gave birth to a pair of beautiful eyes, and although he does not know how to look at others, I want to see what will happen when she obtains the letter of rest."
The countryside bumpkins who had cultivated their entire lives held a different kind of respect for scholars. Even the fact that the Elementary Scholars had given them the same gift was seen as a sign that they were willing to give their blessings and expectations to their brother-in-law.
