Chapter 226: The filial wife of Dalang

After returning home.

Song Jin stayed with the child all the time.

The child went from being unfamiliar at first to becoming clingy and speaking childish words from time to time. Song Jin accompanied him patiently and was completely soft-hearted.

Xiaoyu was also there.

The girl, who was in her early teens, looked very reliable and took good care of the two children.

Mrs. Li was watching from the side. Seeing that Song Jin had finished his meal and had no intention of moving, she asked, "Why don't you go to the old house to see your elders?"

Song Jin raised his eyes and asked, "Is someone sick?"

That look seemed to be asking whether it was a real illness or a fake one.

Li understood it easily, and said with a raised corner of her mouth: "This time it's really not a trick, it's my mother-in-law who is sick, and she's seriously ill. She spent a lot of money just on medical treatment and medicine."

Seeing Song Jin's interest, Li continued, "You don't feel the pain of illness until you get it yourself. For example, some people, when others are sick, they tell them to just endure it and get over it, and they are reluctant to spend even a few coins to buy medicine. But when they themselves get sick and the doctor says they will die if they don't get treated, they immediately have money."

Song Jin asked, "Did you spend a lot?"

"You're not old anymore. It costs eight taels to get medicine from the pharmacy. During this period, all the private savings of your father-in-law have been spent. His pockets are cleaner than his face."

Li didn't feel sorry for the money.

But I am disgusted by Old Liu.

I've been disgusted for most of my life, and I can only live like this.

"By the way, who told you that someone in the old house was sick?" Li watched Song Jin come back and didn't ask anyone.

Song Jin could only talk about his return to Hongcun. "I heard from my neighbor that there was a letter from my hometown saying that an elderly person was sick and everyone had gone back. I thought someone was going to cause trouble again, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"Really?"

Li smiled and said, "When I first heard it, I thought so too. The letter first mentioned that my mother-in-law was ill, then mentioned that the Zhongyuan Festival was coming, saying that the old lady wanted to have a lively family, and asked the three brothers to return to their hometown to celebrate the festival."

After saying these words, Li's eyes looked strange.

Obviously there is something else going on.

Song Jin listened attentively, "Is there anything else going on over there?"

"Yes, my brother-in-law came back from the capital and said he would take part in the imperial examination next year, so he asked all three of us to come together."

It’s hard to describe what Li said.

Song Jin asked again: "Who asked for the money?"

"Who else could it be? The one who's sick and restless in bed."

Li was surprised when she thought of this. "My uncle has been studying in the capital for two years. His expenses must be quite high. I see that his clothes are not cheap. A simple set of clothes costs more than 10 or 20 taels. He lives better than the rest of us, but he still asks us for money."

"Did everyone give it?"

Song Jin knew that Old Man Qin was not short of money.

Mrs. Li shook her head and said, "All the money was used to treat my mother-in-law's illness."

"Don't worry about this matter. The fourth room is not short of money."

Song Jin thought about it and finally didn't tell him the five thousand taels.

Five thousand taels a year is an astronomical figure for an ordinary family.

With the memories of her past life, Song Jin didn't want to give the money anymore, but this was the decision made by her father before the accident.

Without sufficient reasons, it would be difficult to ask Song Huaichang not to give it to me.

Li and Song Jin talked for a long time. Seeing that Song Jin was still sitting still, she said helplessly: "You just came back. As a junior, it would be better for you to go to the old house to visit. Whether you are willing or not, you have to go there, even if it's just for show."

This is a question of filial piety.

It is difficult to say whether an old man is kind or not, but if a younger generation does not visit the old man when they return to the village, they will be considered unfilial.

Song Jin nodded and asked Mrs. Huang to pack up some gifts and take them to the old house later.

Also bring one copy for the second and third rooms.

So Song Jin didn't even change his clothes. He carried the gifts in both hands. Together with Huang Pozi and Xiaoyu, they each carried something. They walked towards the old house in the afterglow of the setting sun in full view of everyone.

Someone asked: "Da Lang's wife, what is this?"

"I heard that grandma was sick, so I rushed back without even having time to change my clothes, and brought some supplements to see her."

There was a hint of anxiety in Song Jin's words.

"Oh, that's thoughtful."

The old lady looked at what the three men were carrying with envy.

You can tell at a glance that he is not young anymore.

Everyone in the village who saw it couldn't help but feel jealous.

Liu Pozi's reputation has long been bad, but people still envy her to no end.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Song Jin said this when someone asked him about it along the way.

So in a short while, almost the entire Qinjiagou knew that Song Jin was filial.

Even if you are far away from home, you will rush back home when you hear that your elderly are sick.

Someone asked about Qin Chi.

Song Jin continued, "My husband will be back in two days. He can't just ask for leave when he enters school. There must be a rule, right?"

"That's right, that's right!"

Several elders praised him, "Da Lang is also a filial child."

"That's right. My husband is the most filial." Song Jin didn't even blush when she praised Qin Chi.

If Qin Chi heard this, he wouldn't know what to think.

This man was praising his wife, whom he had not seen for two years! Someone stopped him to talk.

Song Jin answered them one by one, in a very good temper. It took him twice as long as usual to walk from home to the old house.

Xiaoyu carried the things and went to the second room.

Song Jin and Huang Po walked into the Qin family's house one after another. The maid saw a flash of surprise on Song Jin's face and hurried in to report that Song Jin had arrived.

"I came here just like that. I thought you were some big shot."

Old Liu was lying in bed, restless, cursing, "I've been sick for so long, and they haven't come back. Now that I'm almost well, why are they pretending again?"

Song Jin, who was outside the house, heard it and pretended not to hear it.

However, most of the things originally given to Old Liu were added to the third room's share.

Song Jin ordered, "Auntie Huang, move all of these to my third uncle's house. I heard that my third aunt gave birth to another big fat boy, and I haven't even seen him yet."

Mrs. Huang was stunned.

I wanted to say that I took the wrong thing, but when I saw Song Jin's faint smile and his eyes without a smile, I immediately lowered my head and pretended not to see it, and replied respectfully: "Okay, sir, I'll take it right away."

Mrs. Huang is no stranger to this place.

Immediately carry the things to the third room.

Old Mrs. Liu in the room had seen Song Jin holding a bunch of things earlier and thought they were all for her.

When Mrs. Huang took away most of it and said that she was going to give it to the third wife, she felt as if her heart was being ripped out and felt a sharp pain in her heart.

"Come back, come back. Come back here. Why did you take the things given to me to the third room? You, you unfilial thing, are you here to see me or to piss me off..."

Old Mrs. Liu pointed at Song Jin who walked into the room and cursed.

It's been two years since I last saw her, and Mrs. Liu's temper has gotten worse.
