Ever since Jiang Cheng's mother passed away and his father married a stepmother, he had always acted subserviently at home. After learning that he was to marry in place of his sister, he resolu...
"By the way, do you have something to talk to me about today?" Mrs. Tang and Jiang Cheng exchanged pleasantries for a while, and suddenly returned to the topic.
"Auntie is really smart." Jiang Cheng pulled Song Qian over. "This is my sister. She's 15 years old this year. I wanted her to learn something, so I thought of Auntie!"
"Hello, auntie!" Song Qian bowed to Madam Tang.
"Good, good, good, what a beautiful girl!" Aunt Tang looked at Song Qian standing in the middle of the hall, very satisfied. "Since you trust me so much, I won't be arrogant. Just leave your sister to me. Don't worry! I will definitely teach her well!"
"Thank you very much, Auntie." Jiang Cheng handed the gift he had prepared to Auntie Tang, "Auntie, this is a little gift from me!"
"What are you doing?" Madam Tang quickly pushed Jiang Cheng's hand away. "You're here, what are you bringing with you?"
"Aunt, although we have some friendship, we still need to prepare what we need." Jiang Cheng stuffed the things into Mrs. Tang's hands.
"If you don't accept it, I'll feel embarrassed to visit you again!" Jiang Cheng said.
"Okay! I won't be polite with you anymore!" Mrs. Tang accepted the things and said with a smile.
Jiang Cheng talked with Madam Tang for a long time and confirmed with her that he would send Song Qian to live with her in a few days. She would go home for three days every month as a vacation.
At first Jiang Cheng had some concerns, but since Song Qian agreed, Jiang Cheng gave up the idea. Fortunately, all the people around Mrs. Tang are brothers and sisters, and there are no macho men, so Xu Sanniang and the others would feel relieved.
After Jiang Cheng and Madam Tang had discussed it, they took Song Qian back home. Madam Tang smiled and sent them to the door, watching Jiang Cheng and Song Qian walk away before returning.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Cheng asked with concern when he saw Song Qian looking a little disappointed when she came out from Mrs. Tang.
"It's okay, it's just that I can't stay at home with my parents and Xiaoyu all the time, and I feel a little reluctant." Song Qian hesitated for a while and finally expressed her thoughts.
"What's the big deal?" Jiang Cheng took Song Qian's arm and said affectionately, "It's not like you'll never come back. Madam Tang said you can come back for three days a month. Try studying for three months first."
"Yes, I will study hard." Song Qian nodded.
After returning home, Xu Sanniang knew that Song Qian would only come back for three days in a month, and she felt reluctant to let her go. She hid in the house and thought for a while before coming out.
"Qianqian, go to Madam Tang and study hard. I will come to see you when I am free." Xu Sanniang touched Song Qian's hair and said.
Song Qian is about to reach marriage age, and she has never been separated from Xu Sanniang for so many years. Xu Sanniang is naturally reluctant to let her go, but for the sake of her daughter's good, she has to let go of this reluctance.
Besides, Mrs. Tang didn't say that she wouldn't let her family see her. When the weather gets warmer, Xu Sanniang will go see Song Qian when she has time.
"Mom, it's okay!" Song Qian was comforted by Jiang Cheng and now she turned to comfort Xu Sanniang.
Seeing that the mother and daughter were reluctant to leave, Jiang Cheng went out to look for Song Tingzhi.
"Pack Qianqian's things these days and send her to Madam Tang's place in a couple of days." Jiang Cheng walked up to Song Tingzhi and said.
"Okay." Song Tingzhi put down the work in his hands and went in to persuade Xu Sanniang at Jiang Cheng's signal.
When Jiang Cheng finished preparing the meal and went in to call them to eat, Xu Sanniang's mood improved a lot.
"When Xiaoyu grows up a little, we can send him over to learn some manners." Xu Sanniang had already calmed down and started making plans for her youngest son.
"Mom, you were reluctant to let Qianqian go just now, so why are you willing to send Xiaoyu over now?"
Jiang Cheng was at a loss for words for a moment.
"That's what I said." Xu Sanniang was a little embarrassed. "I'm not going to be separated from Qianqian so suddenly, so I'm naturally sad. But if Qianqian learns a good skill, Xiaoyu can also learn it."
"Even if I can't learn anything, at least I can learn some rules."
Xu Sanniang knew Song Yu's limitations and didn't expect him to learn anything.
"Okay~ Once Qianqian has finished her studies, we'll send Xiaoyu over as well!"
Jiang Cheng picked up some food for Xu Sanniang and said to her.
"Mom, where are you going?" Song Yu raised his head from the bowl while eating when he heard Brother Chengcheng and Xu Sanniang talking about him.
"Let's not go anywhere. Let's eat!" Xu Sanniang touched Song Yu's head and asked him to continue eating.
"Oh~" Seeing that Xu Sanniang did not tell him her thoughts, Song Yu lowered his head and continued to eat.
Xu Sanniang looked at Song Yu's foodie look, sighed indulgently, and ignored him.

Ever since Liu Fan came to the Jiang family during the Spring Festival, Chen Mei would say bad things about Liu Fan to Jiang Caiyun every day.
Today, Shen Mei seized the opportunity and started nagging in Jiang Caiyun's ear again.
"The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong. Does his family look down on ours? He's just a scholar, not a high-ranking official. What's there to look down on?"
"I have no money, and fame is just like this..."
Before Shen Mei could finish her words, she was interrupted impatiently by Jiang Caiyun.
"Mom, can you please stop talking!" Jiang Caiyun interrupted Chen Mei's nagging with a harsh voice, "It's been a long time, what else is there to say? If you are not satisfied, just tell the other person directly, why do you have to say this in front of me every day!"
"Kid, I'm doing this for your own good!" Chen Mei hurried to defend herself when she saw that Jiang Caiyun disagreed with her.
"You are still young and don't understand these things. You haven't even gotten married yet, but you're already neglecting our family and you. If you really get married in the future, I don't know how I'll treat you!"
Chen Mei chased Jiang Caiyun and kept preaching to her.
"Enough, stop talking! Are you annoying?" Jiang Caiyun covered her ears and shouted loudly. After waiting for a while, Jiang Caiyun heard no sound next to her. She turned around and found Chen Mei looking at her with a hurt face.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Caiyun knew that she had spoken too harshly, but she was too embarrassed to apologize to Chen Mei. She pursed her lips and turned to go in.
When Chen Mei saw Jiang Caiyun come in, she wanted to call her, but after hesitating for a while, she still didn't speak.
