Chapter 724 The Second Brother is Anxious
Song Chunxue sat on the steps in the courtyard, feeling increasingly amused and exasperated.
Speechless. Utterly speechless.
Could it be that men and women are so different?
That's Xie Zheng, after all. He was injured and yet...
Forget it, it's better if he gets hurt!
She got up and went out the door, intending to go find her second son.
She had to get an explanation for what happened to Sanwa. Even if she couldn't force him or retaliate, she still had to find out the truth.
However, she wouldn't be as reckless as before. Regardless of whether she had offended Wang Can, as long as Xie Zheng's position in Jincheng was unstable, Wang Can would step in to teach Sanwa a lesson.
And there's Lord Huang Mo; she should pay him a visit.
Upon arriving at the government office, she found the second son.
"Mother, how did you find your way here?"
It's clear that the second child is very happy.
He tilted his head at Song Chunxue and said, "Come on, we have nothing to do today, let's find a place to have tea, or even wine, I'll treat Mother to a drink."
"I'm not a drunkard, can't I have both tea and wine?" she said with a smile as she walked ahead.
“Okay, of course.” The second son slung his sword over his shoulder, turned and smiled at her. “Mother, when I see you, I feel like all of this is fake. You don’t look like my mother at all now.”
"Then what do I look like?"
The second son pondered for a moment, "In short, you're not like yourself anymore. I can hardly remember what my mother, who used to farm, looked like. In the blink of an eye, you've become a spirited Taoist priest, and your temper has changed a lot too."
"Most importantly, you look much better now than before. Although you are not as young as we were when we were young, you are much more handsome and pleasant to look at now."
The second child seemed quite emotional and talked a lot.
Song Chunxue looked down at the road surface. The thin layer of sand was completely useless after the rain, and there were large potholes in many places.
It hasn't rained much lately, and the yellow soil on the ground, trampled by countless people, is finer than flour.
"Back then, all I thought about was farming and making you successful. I didn't know anything else." She looked calmly at the pedestrians on the street. "If my parents hadn't died, I would have had someone to rely on after I got married. If your father hadn't died, my temper would probably be better."
In the past, she would have blamed her past self.
But Song Chunxue suddenly realized that the unlikable, ignorant, and pitiful woman was also her.
But back then, she didn't have the chance to become understanding, intelligent, rational, or know how to educate children.
More than six years after her rebirth, she finally accepted that the ignorant old woman she once knew, that pitiful old woman, was also her, Song Chunxue.
The second son realized he had said something wrong and upset his mother.
He immediately explained, "Mother, that's not what I meant..."
"It's not your fault, I know you're praising me." Song Chunxue smiled indifferently, turned to look at him, "Let's go, let's go to the house up ahead, I still need to ask about your marriage and Sanwa's matter."
At that moment, looking at this young face that resembled her eldest son so much, she suddenly realized that he was her son.
The eldest and second eldest have very similar eyes; their triangular eyes become especially noticeable when exposed to sunlight.
Song Chunxue knew very well that she had always had triangular eyes, and that facial features could change.
At that time, she resented her children, resented the injustice of the world, was angry with her eldest son, felt disheartened by her second son, and was disappointed in her youngest son who was not living up to his potential...
But looking back, all her complaints were meaningless.
Because that's the truth. Complaining won't solve anything; it will only make her more miserable and plunge her into endless self-destruction.
All things in the world are born and die naturally.
Her resentment stemmed from her own incompetence; she couldn't change things, and she didn't want to admit her mistakes, so she blamed others for everything to make herself feel better.
In fact, when she returned from the capital, she went straight to Li Family Village, but did not open the door to the eldest son's house. It was true that she did not want to disturb him, but it was also true that she still harbored a little resentment towards him.
But today, for some reason, she suddenly understood.
All the things from her past life, the causes and effects of fate, she and her children were all pitiful people, because they were all ordinary people, and their individual human nature could not be changed.
They are not saints, so they do not deserve sympathy.
They were just kids, and they were a little selfish when choosing their own paths.
That's all.
If she hadn't wanted to provide for her in her old age and hadn't been so insistent on having each of her children treat her with the same filial piety as the children in the book, she might have lived a more carefree and relaxed life.
"Mom... why are you looking at me like that?" The second son scratched his head a little embarrassedly. "I'm so embarrassed. Did I do something wrong?"
Song Chunxue snapped out of her reverie, picked up the tea that the second brother had poured for her, took a sip, and looked at him with a half-smile.
"So what did you do wrong?"
The second son thought about it carefully, "He secretly met with Wanying and got scolded by her father?"
"..." Is that even possible?
She crossed her arms over her chest, leaned back, and looked at him calmly.
The second son panicked even more, and said meekly, "I haven't seen him much lately, he's only sent messages."
"Mom, don't be angry. I'll be more careful next time." He looked like he had done something wrong.
Song Chunxue was both amused and exasperated. "I'm not angry, I just feel a little embarrassed. Your marriage is settled, there's nothing wrong with meeting, but her father is just thinking about the child's reputation."
She asked earnestly, "You really want to see her?"
She answered herself, "That's true. The fourth child is pregnant, the third child has two kids, and you're the only one who's not married yet. It's normal to be anxious."
"..." The second son blushed and whispered his explanation, "Nothing... I just went to the river to talk and happened to run into her father picking up stones. He kicked me twice at that time."
Song Chunxue understood; the man wasn't really cursing him, but he had just encountered the situation and was showing the attitude a father should have.
"Then let's finish the procedures as soon as possible, set a date, and get married before October, how about that?"
The second son's pale face flushed red, and he nodded, saying, "Okay."
He couldn't stop smiling.
A son is no longer under his mother's control once he grows up, and she couldn't delay her second son's marriage any longer.
"Let's go back and check the almanac to see which day is auspicious in the next couple of days, and then we'll go to the Hu family's house."
The second son couldn't hide his smile. "Okay, Mother, don't worry about what to bring when you visit. I'll prepare it myself."
Song Chunxue asked curiously, "You know all this?"
"Hmm," the second brother tapped the corner of the table, grinning like a silly boy, "Wanying told me what gifts her sister received at her wedding, and that I shouldn't be stingy."
Hmm, so they were already so compatible and of one mind before they even got married.
That's wonderful. She was still a child when she got married. She was just wearing a red dress and riding a donkey from her second brother's house to the Jiang family. She didn't remember if there was a wedding ceremony or not. In her memory, it was just a simple affair, and she became a member of the Jiang family forever.
I don't have much of an impression of the child's father, I only remember many relatives and people from the village who treated her like a spectacle.
She felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do. All she could do was stare wide-eyed at all the gazes directed at her.
"By the way, what are you planning to do about Mother and Lord Xie's matter?"
