Song Laosi quickly went to invite Doctor Wang over.
Fang Neng wanted to leave, but Song Xia stopped him: "Weren't you so loud before? Why are you chickening out now? Did you already know you couldn't do it all along...?"
"Who are you calling incapable? Do you think I'm incapable?"
After Fang finished speaking, he went to have Doctor Wang take his pulse.
After examining the right hand, Doctor Wang then examined the left hand.
Fang Neng's heart began to pound. What was he doing? Why did it take so long to take a pulse?
"You quack! Do you even know how to treat a patient?!"
Doctor Wang withdrew his hand and said slowly, "Your lower abdomen is weak and cold, your kidney fire is deficient, and your essence is cold, making it difficult for you to conceive..."
"What! This is impossible!"
"You must have taken money from Song Xia to spout nonsense!"
Fang Neng didn't believe it at all.
When Song Xia saw that Fang Neng was not doing well, he told him to have the people he had brought fetch a doctor for him.
Fang Neng always believed that he was fine, so of course he wanted to see a doctor again. He asked his second cousin to go to town and invite a doctor to examine him.
However, the result was exactly the same.
"Impossible, impossible..."
That's something they can't accept.
Song Xia sneered.
"What are you acting for? Sister Xiaohua told you to go see a doctor before, but you refused. Why is that? You clearly know you can't get her pregnant!"
"You couldn't accept that you couldn't impregnate a woman, and this long-term repression eventually led to your outburst, resulting in what you did before. After regaining your senses, fearing that your hidden illness would be exposed, you turned around and accused others..."
"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense..."
Fang rushed over to hit Song Xia, but she kicked him and sent him sprawling to the ground: "You bitch, you bitch, I'm not done with you yet!"
Song Xia hasn't made a move yet this time.
Old Song was the first to strike, stepping forward and giving him a good beating: "I'll teach you to insult Xia'er, I'll teach you to bully my daughter, I'll beat you to death!"
Jiang Yanzi also stepped forward and gave Fang Neng a beating.
After watching for a while, Song Xiaocao mustered up her courage and stepped forward to hit Fang Neng.
His two cousins wanted to help, but were hesitant, so they stood aside and watched.
Only then can one be knocked unconscious.
They then stepped forward.
Song Laosan had enjoyed the beating, but after calming down, he felt a little annoyed: "Xia'er, what if he goes to the yamen to report us for doing this?"
"It's alright, at most we'll lose some money."
Song Xia believed that if Fang Qin knew, he would definitely not allow Fang Neng to do that.
After all, he's different from him.
As expected.
The Fang family did not report it to the authorities.
Fang Qin even went to Fang Neng's house to apologize and replaced the divorce letter that Fang Neng had written with a divorce agreement that Fang Qin had brought.
Holding the divorce papers, Song Xiaohua felt a mix of emotions. She never imagined that she would be able to divorce Fang Neng, and that her parents' attitude towards her would be even better than before.
Jiang Yanzi truly felt sorry for Song Xiaohua.
Song Laosan, on the other hand, had his eye on her wages.
Song Xiaohua's wages were the same as Jiang Yanzi's. With full attendance bonuses, she earned about one tael of silver and two hundred copper coins a year. That added up to more than ten taels of silver a year. Combined with their earnings, their family had quite a bit of money each year.
As the days went by.
June has arrived.
June 2nd was Song Chun's fifteenth birthday, and also the day she came of age to reach the age of marriage.
Song Xia originally wanted to hold a grand event, but Song Chun didn't want to, so she let her have her way.
That day.
Granny Song and the others didn't do any work; they were all waiting in the front yard for Song Xia to have her coming-of-age ceremony.
The female guest who performed the hairpin ceremony for Song Chun.
The person invited by Granny Song was her niece, Lin Xi, from her maternal family.
The whole process was very simple.
Lin Xi combed Song Chun's loose hair into a bun, put on the hairpin she had bought, and Fang Xiu stepped forward to give her some advice. The coming-of-age ceremony was then complete.
Looking at Song Chun, who had grown into a graceful young woman with a more delicate appearance than most girls, Lin Xi grew to like her more and more, and an idea popped into her head.
She called Granny Song aside and asked, "Aunt, is Song Chun engaged yet?"
Granny Song shook her head.
Lin Xi grabbed her hand and said, "Aunt, I really like Song Chun. My third son isn't married yet, is he? Could you help put in a good word for him?"
"this…"
Granny Song hadn't seen Lin Xi's third son for some time. Not only did she not know what he was doing now, she even had a vague memory of what he looked like.
Lin Xi leaned closer and said, "Aunt, my third son is now a cook at a restaurant in town, earning two taels of silver a month. He is hardworking, reliable, and looks just like me. He is definitely a good match for Song Chun."
Listen to what she has to say.
Granny Song thought it was alright.
She pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll ask Fang Xiu first and see what she has to say."
"good!"
Lin Xi had no objection.
Granny Song walked to the kitchen door and called Fang Xiu out to talk.
Fang Xiu looked directly at Granny Song and asked, "Mother, is there something you need from me?"
Upon hearing this...
Granny Song pursed her lips and said, "Xiu, it's like this, my niece Lin Xi really likes Chun'er, and she wants to marry into your family. I don't know if you have any plans to find a husband for Chun'er yet, so I thought I'd ask you first."
So that's what it was about.
Fang Xiu returned to Granny Song.
"Mother, how old is Lin Xi's son this year, and what does he do?"
Granny Song told her the truth.
When Fang Xiu heard that Lin Xi's son was a cook and was nineteen years old, not much older than her eldest daughter, she thought it was quite good.
"Mother, let me talk to Chun'er first."
Now she doesn't talk to Song Laosi anymore, she goes directly to her own daughter.
Fang Xiu had just finished telling Song Chun about this.
Song Chun's expression was not good. She said, "Mother, I'll temporarily..."
She refused.
Fang Xiu, however, wanted her to go and have a consultation.
She interrupted Song Chun, saying, "Chun'er, you've already come of age. If you meet someone good, you can still go and take a look. What if you fall in love with him at first sight?"
At her urging.
Song Chun finally nodded.
Song Xia was a little angry when she found out about this. What's wrong with being fifteen? Is fifteen years old a big deal?
So what if you've reached the age of marriage? Does reaching that age mean you have to get married as soon as possible?
She said to Song Chun privately, "Big sister, if you don't want to go, then don't go."
She is different from her.
Song Chun smiled and said, "Second sister, it's alright. Didn't Mother say that they wouldn't force me if I didn't like someone? In that case, there's no harm in going to meet them."
"Alright!"
Seeing that she was about to leave, Song Xia didn't say anything more.
The days of looking at each other.
Lin Xi set the date for three days later and told Song Laosi that they would meet at the Li Family Restaurant then.
She invited them to lunch at the restaurant where her son worked.
Li Family Restaurant is a small restaurant, and Song Xia and her group have not had lunch here yet.
Therefore, I don't know anything about this restaurant.
Song Xia checked beforehand and found nothing wrong. When they took Song Chun to meet the matchmaker, she didn't go in with them. She sat in the rented carriage and waited for them.
She didn't want to go, but she was worried about it, so she chose to do it this way.
Lin Xi is in the private room she booked.
The food arrived about fifteen minutes ago.
Her son, Yuan Songcai, came.
