Chapter 899 You said it yourself.
Song Chunxue snapped out of her daze. What had happened to her boss?
She reached out and patted the eldest daughter's head, then asked Sanwa in detail about the eldest daughter's family.
You won't know until you ask, and what you find out is quite surprising.
Song Chunxue then realized that her eldest son and his wife had unintentionally gotten themselves into big trouble, and that someone had even gone to the yamen to file a complaint.
In short, I meddled in other people's business.
"What a fool! The eldest son is truly foolish. His wife is young and inexperienced, and is his brain also useless?"
Song Chunxue said irritably, "They say even an upright official can't settle family disputes. I had to interfere in his own affairs and forcefully turn the page. But he's getting worse and worse, as if he's living too comfortably."
Seeing that his mother was angry, the third child quietly defended the eldest child.
"Actually, my older brother didn't expect it to turn out like this either. He was just helping out with a small favor at first."
Song Chunxue was furious. "Then he shouldn't have dragged you into this."
The second brother chimed in, "Yes, the eldest brother is educated, but he doesn't use his brain at all when it comes to daily life. He almost ruined Sanwa's career because of some trivial matter involving someone else. If I hadn't personally written a long letter to the eldest brother, analyzing the pros and cons, he would have asked Sanwa to bribe the county magistrate."
The second brother took a deep breath and sighed helplessly, "Second brother is also a fool. All the old people in our village who farm the land and have never been to school are smarter than him."
Only after listening to the three brothers did Song Chunxue understand the whole story.
It turns out that initially, the eldest son's wife, Xu Dahong, took in her younger sister, Xu Jiao, and her child, a situation commonly known as "Dianshan".
When a married woman quarrels with her husband's family and leaves, whether she takes her children or not, it is called "breaking the mountain."
However, most new brides would return to their parents' home, but the Xu sisters' parents' home was in a mess, and staying there for too long would definitely lead to unpleasantness over a bowl of rice.
Therefore, Xu Jiao came to seek refuge with her eldest sister, Xu Dahong.
The eldest child didn't stop her, and let her second aunt stay at home for a while.
But coincidentally, when Xu Jiao's husband came looking for his wife and children to return home, he saw his wife chatting and laughing with his brother-in-law and carrying water together. He immediately picked up the willow stick in his hand and hit the eldest brother on the forehead a few times.
The eldest brother used to be quiet and reserved when he lived with Chen Feng, but now he's got quite a temper and immediately started fighting with Xu Jiao's husband.
If Li Dazui hadn't intervened, they would have fought to the death that very day.
But Xu Jiao's husband was a smart man. He softened his stance that day and gently asked Xu Jiao to go back. Relying on his support and knowing her husband's bad temper, Xu Jiao did not go back that day.
Two days later, Xu Jiao's husband brought several strong young men to her door demanding his wife and children back. The eldest brother, who was already in the wrong, fought back because of his strength. As a result, he was beaten to the ground by the four strong men and lost a tooth.
Afterwards, the eldest brother felt that he now had a strong backing, one being an official in the government office and the other a constable, so he was sure that he could get justice for him. He actually went to the government office to file a complaint first.
Those involved are often blinded, while bystanders see things clearly. Even the county magistrate, who is usually busy with his own family affairs, has never seen such a fool as Jiang Yeming. He not only tries to smooth things over himself, but also falsely accuses others.
County Magistrate Liang Xiao had attended Sanwa's wedding with Xie Zheng years ago. In addition, Jiang Yeming was Sanwa's younger brother, Jiang Yexun, so he took the initiative to write to Jiang Yexun to ask how to handle the situation.
A small matter is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more troublesome.
Sanwa knew that if he insisted on protecting his elder brother, the county magistrate would definitely let him off the hook.
But this means that he is breaking his own rules in officialdom.
Sanwa can be said to have been influenced by the association, and he is stubborn and unyielding. As a young man, he is unwilling to be flexible and adheres to the laws of the imperial court.
But this was the first time his eldest brother had asked him for a favor, and Sanwa was in a difficult position.
Just then, Song Chunxue returned, and the three brothers felt as if they had seen a savior.
Hey, these rascals are surprisingly filial.
Why leave her this huge trouble of all things?
If left unchecked, she couldn't guarantee that her boss wouldn't do anything foolish.
After all, no one knows a child better than their mother. How could she not see her eldest son's true character after two lifetimes?
Now, because they are rich and powerful, they are living a good life in the village. The eldest brother is very powerful in the village. Last year, Li Dazui unintentionally hinted at this.
The eldest brother is getting arrogant and has lost his way.
It's better not to cause trouble, because if you do, you'll definitely get yourself into trouble.
If this incident doesn't make the boss realize his mistake and learn a lesson, he'll cause even bigger trouble next time.
After much deliberation, Song Chunxue decided to go back.
After all, they are my own children. The people of the world are the common people, so why shouldn't the children I gave birth to be included?
She is a cultivator, but she doesn't cultivate the path of ruthlessness.
Seize this opportunity, she'll make sure the boss suffers a bit and learns to back down from his arrogant ways.
As she pondered with her head down, she noticed the expression on the face of the eldest girl in the arms of the third child.
Song Chunxue stretched out her hand, "Come here, Grandma, give me a hug."
Chunyan immediately smiled and rushed into the arms of the deliveryman, hugging her tightly.
Song Chunxue stroked her hair and said gently, "Do you want to study and paint?"
"think!"
She looked at Sanwa and said, "Did you hear that? Your daughter is precocious. You should hire a tutor for her, preferably a female tutor. I'll pay for it."
Song Chunxue looked lovingly at her granddaughter, who had never been to school in her previous life. "Actually, it would be good to run a private school. We can only accept girls, so that more young ladies can learn to read and write, and master poetry, literature, etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. As for female virtues, hmph, we won't allow anyone to teach that harmful stuff!"
Sanwa was both amused and exasperated. "Mother is so wealthy and powerful these days, quite domineering indeed. But what if a girl doesn't learn traditional virtues and can't get married when she grows up?"
"If you can't get married, then don't. Come with me to cultivate yourself and see the world. It's not too late to get married when you meet someone you truly love." She couldn't be happier that this child didn't get married.
If you suffered so much in your past life, you can't easily get married in this one.
Sanwa was helpless, but he didn't dare to contradict Song Chunxue.
“If she doesn’t want to marry, then she doesn’t have to. Life in the secular world is too hard anyway. She can cultivate with her mother. If she is enlightened, she will not be lonely with her mother’s help.” Sanwa sighed, “Sigh, as a father, if it weren’t for worldly concerns, who would be willing to let their own daughter be ruined?”
The fourth son, oblivious to everything, said, "Then let's have fewer children. If I have a son after my wife marries, I'll give one to you. They say that men who are delicate-looking don't have many sons, and it's true. Someone as ugly as me might end up like our father, having many sons."
These words made the others look around nervously, observing each other's expressions, and remain as quiet as chickens.
“Great, you said it yourself,” Sanwa said with a smile. “Then my Mulan won’t have to grit her teeth and drink the folk remedy anymore. Fourth brother, you have to keep your word. I’ll kowtow to you after it’s done.”
In fact, seeing that Lord Xie only had one daughter, Sanwa's obsession with having a son gradually faded.
Mulan, on the other hand, kept saying that she wanted to have more children, and that she absolutely had to give him a son.
Otherwise, she would feel sorry for her mother who had chosen her as her daughter-in-law so early on.
