take a wife to support the family

Chapter 258
Since ancient times, people have often said "Nian Guan", which has its own reasons: for example, when the debtors come to the end of the year, the creditors demand to pay back the money; The cold is very difficult; there are people who travel far away and brave the wind and snow, and rush back to their hometown; the clans are not in harmony, but they want to get together...

Chinese New Year is like a pass.

Qingliu Town can be regarded as a prosperous town, there are not many poor people, and the year is comfortable.

Liu Sheng only became the chief housekeeper this year, and he intends to invite people's hearts, so that everyone will think that he is not worse than Liu Zhong, but even better than the former housekeeper.Special benefits are given to the people in the mansion, even the padded clothes are thicker than when Liu Zhong was there, everyone praises them.

The new official took office three fires, and Liu Sheng's fire burned so many people were willing to stay in Liu's mansion to help, and didn't want to go home for the New Year. Therefore, the owners of Liu's mansion only felt that this year was more lively than previous years, and life was more convenient, and they all said that Liu Sheng good.

Liu Sheng ordered the accountant to take advantage of these two days to close the accounts, close the accounts on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and reopen the accounts in the coming year.The Song family and the Liu family jointly opened a vermicelli workshop. This year's dividends were quite a lot, and they were delivered on time. They agreed that there would be ways to make money next year. The two families will still be together and must not be divided. Both parties are quite satisfied.

In the blink of an eye, on New Year’s Eve, I received the Kitchen God at night, ate noodles with oatmeal, stewed soybeans and pig’s trotters so soft that the bones would fall apart with a light poke of chopsticks. Bless, then it's my turn to eat.

When I went to the ancestral hall on the first day of the lunar new year, Mrs. Niu didn't come, so Mrs. Dong should be leading the younger brother and daughter-in-law.Mrs. Dong was a little distressed. She resented her mother-in-law for being domineering and domineering on weekdays. She always fantasized about how majestic and proud she would be as the head of the family. Taking up the meat and vegetables from the ancestral hall, I can't wait to treat one male Jin Bao as three offerings.

Although her plan was good, it didn't work when things happened. When the patriarch's wife asked if Niu was in good health, she trembled with fear.Mrs. Dong didn't know what she was afraid of, so she couldn't get on the stage like this.

The patriarch's wife said strangely: "I think you can talk quite well in the group of sisters-in-law. Usually, when your mother-in-law is around, you are also very aggressive. Why do you shake like this after just a few words to me?"

At this time, Mrs. Dong was ashamed, and Lily, the sister-in-law of the family, was also ashamed, so Baihe hurriedly came forward and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law takes care of her mother-in-law all day long, and she is so tired that she can't even talk. Auntie, please don't worry." Blame her. My mother-in-law is still not well, and she doesn't speak clearly, and she is depressed all day long. If you have time, Auntie, please go to my house and talk to my mother-in-law. She will feel better seeing you getting old."

The patriarch's wife laughed and said, "You're so smart! I'll take a few old sisters to your mother-in-law's place to eat and drink for free, and make your sister-in-law feel bad!"

Seeing Baihe's rescue, Mrs. Dong breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that she didn't have to talk to the patriarch's wife anymore, but when she heard that Baihe took care of her for her, she became angry again.

Mrs. Dong gouged out Lily with her eyes, and thought bitterly: What you eat is not your rice noodles, but you are being generous with my things. It seems that there are so many people, and you are the only one who is exceptionally smart!
Lily has always been at odds with Mrs. Dong, rescued her from the patriarch's wife, made a few jokes, which made the aunts laugh for a while, and went back to scrub the silverware with Song Dagui's family.

The eldest sister-in-law said: "Look at your sister-in-law, who are you showing your face to?"

Lily didn't care: "She's that kind of person, what do I expect her to do?" If it wasn't for being a relative, she wouldn't care about Dong's life or death.

In the past, there were no major events in the clan, everyone would leave after paying respects to their ancestors, talking and laughing, but this time the clan leader left everyone who could talk to them to discuss Song Xiuxiu's affairs.

Both Song Dagui and Song Haonian got a seat, standing near the door.The women couldn't speak, so they dispersed, leaving only a few elderly aunts and uncles talking around a fire.

Lily and Dagui's sister-in-law didn't have to leave because their husband was inside, they just stood outside the window and listened.Only the patriarch uncle said: "It turns out that Xiuxiu's marriage to Liu Rulong's family is a happy event in our clan. A talented lady will shine on the face of the whole clan."

Before he finished listening to the sentence, Mrs. Dong came over and scolded in a low voice: "Where is it our turn to listen to the matter of the man's family? You two pay attention, let the patriarch find out, and punish you to kneel in front of the ancestor's spiritual throne for three days!"

She, Mrs. Dong, is a reasonable and well-behaved daughter-in-law, so she will definitely not be punished. Maybe her uncle will report on her second child's family and reward her with a piece of meat.

Bai He gave Dong a strange look, and whispered: "We're discussing about Xiuxiu, are you a big sister-in-law?"

Asked Dong to interrupt, Lily listened again, the elder uncle of the patriarch had already explained the cause and effect clearly, and said: "...Now that Xiuxiu barely covers her head with tiles in their house, I think Liu Rulong's idea of ​​divorce is not dead yet. Sooner or later, there will be another disturbance. After all, Xiuxiu is a girl from our family, and she has a bad reputation of asking people to come back, so please give me some advice to get over this matter safely."

Lily turned her head and said to Dong: "If you don't listen, then go away, don't make trouble for me."

Dong walked away resentfully, hoping very much that the patriarch uncle would teach this disobedient second sister-in-law a lesson.

Logically, when it comes to Song Xiuxiu, the ones who should talk the most are Old Man Song and Song Haoshi.

The old man Song sighed while smoking a dry cigarette. He had a seat, so he said in a leisurely manner, "Xiuxiu definitely can't ask his family to come back."

After he finished speaking, he remained silent for a long time.The patriarch usually thought that old man Song was honest and easy to talk, but when he was asked to speak, he was so useless, so he couldn't help but sighed heavily.

Song Haoshi was worse than old man Song, but almost like his wife, unable to even speak a whole sentence, it took a long time for him to say: "I listen to my father and uncle."

Song Haonian already knew that his father and elder brother were unreliable, but at this moment he still couldn't help sighing: "My father and elder brother are like this, I don't know how to fight for Song Xiuxiu's benefit, why should others think about Song Xiuxiu?"
Even if the clan really wanted to fight for some benefits for Song Xiuxiu, seeing the two of them like this, they didn't bother to care about it, let alone the clan didn't want to offend the little scholar.

Song Haonian was the second brother of Song Xiuxiu at any rate. Although he was young, he had gradually become able to speak in the clan in the past two years. Before everyone had spoken, he hurriedly said: "The current regulations are that Liu Rulong cannot divorce his wife. But That's a matter for the Liu family, if Liu Rulong is so determined to divorce his wife, our clan might not be able to fight him. If Xiuxiu really asks his family to divorce, how are we going to arrange for her?"

If you really want a divorce, there are divorces and reconciliations. Do you choose divorce or reconciliation?If Song Xiuxiu returns to her natal family, who will raise her?Should Song Xiuxiu's baby boy be left with the Liu family or brought back to the Song family?Did Song Xiuxiu's dowry stay in the Liu family to raise her daughter, or did she bring it back to her natal family?

If you really think about Song Xiuxiu, you should think about all these things and discuss each one clearly.

Although this is the ancestral hall of the Song family, the one who really cares about Song Xiuxiu, the daughter of the Song family, is probably the second brother Song Haonian whom she hated very much in the past.

Fortunately, Song Haonian has some influence and popularity nowadays. Everyone knows that he is rich, and he is the guest of Mr. Liu. Talk, there are still people in the clan who are willing to listen.

Seeing that Song Haonian was willing to support Song Xiuxiu, the patriarch had a different attitude than before, and said with a beard: "The first thing in the current regulations is that Liu Rulong can't divorce his wife. If he can't be stopped, at least we have to fight for a divorce. It cannot be a divorce."

There is something particular here, divorce means that a woman has made a big mistake, and her husband's family will not tolerate her any longer. It will be difficult for such a woman to marry into a second family in the future, and the whole family will be ashamed.

But if it is a reconciliation, it can be said to the outside world that the two people will not be able to live together, and they will marry each other in the future, and it will have nothing to do with it. Song Xiuxiu will marry again.

Song Haonian nodded while thinking, Yi Xiuxiu's current idea is probably not willing to divorce, but wants to occupy the position of a scholar lady, and will never make room for that shameless woman.

But doing so was too cruel to herself and Yuanyuan.

It was very easy to negotiate a charter, Patriarch Song prepared himself to discuss this matter with Master Liu in the future, Song Haonian came out after his father and elder brother, saw his wife standing outside the window and smiled at him.

Before the people left, Song Haoshi hurriedly blamed Song Haonian and said: "Second brother, how can it be our turn to talk about today's matter? Don't make a mistake."

Song Haonian said: "If it's about other things, I naturally dare not speak. Xiuxiu is our own sister, if you don't speak, I don't speak, who else can speak for her?"

As he said that, he turned his head and took Lily to go home.

Lily followed him, and said with a smile: "Brother is not afraid of talking too much, but because he is afraid that Xiuxiu will come back to his mother's house, and he will have to raise a sister."

It stands to reason that Song Xiuxiu came back to her natal family to serve her parents, not only Song Haoshi had to support her, Song Haonian and Song Haojie also had to thank her for their filial piety for their brothers, and Jin Bao would look after Song Xiuxiu in the future.

Song Haoshi and Dong are used to being stingy, and they are first-class in taking advantage of themselves, so why are they willing to ask others to take advantage of themselves?
Even if this person is his own sister.

It's not that Song Haonian doesn't understand this truth, he sighed deeply: "Don't talk about raising Xiuxiu, how much money will it cost to add Yuanyuan? In the future, most of the fields in the family will be owned by the elder brother, and he can't even bear this idea. , why are you still at home?"

Lily didn't answer, she thought to herself, Song Haoshi is a good player who is greedy for cheap, and shrinks his head when things happen. You haven't seen it in the past 30 years?If one day he can take on the responsibility of being the eldest brother, then the sun will come out from the west.

After all, Song Xiuxiu's matter has not yet come to the fore, and I am afraid it will be delayed for a few more months. What matters now is what to eat for dinner.Lily said: "The spicy cabbage pickled earlier is ready, go home and fry the spicy cabbage at night, do you think it will work?"

Song Haonian nodded and said hello, the young couple didn't expect that before the end of the year, another incident would happen at Song Xiuxiu's place, the thing they had been worried about, finally happened.
