Yu Jiao was grateful to Meng Qingyun for saving her life. Su Jian's life was saved by Meng Qingyun. No matter how Liu Sanniang treated her, she was gone and would return to dust. For Fei Ge'er's sake, she had to properly handle Liu Sanniang's funeral.
Fei Ge'er said sensibly, "I'm sorry to have made you tired."
Seeing his sensible and polite appearance, Song Shi felt that he was indeed similar to the fifth brother when he was young, so she asked Yu Jiao with concern, "He is the only child left in the family, why don't you let him move in? You are not around, so Mengshan and I will take good care of him."
Yu Jiao knew that the Song family had good intentions, but no matter how well Yu Mengshan and his wife treated Fei Ge'er, Fei Ge'er was still living under someone else's roof and he only had a close sister like her. When she saw Fei Ge'er holding her hand tightly, she seemed extremely worried that she would really agree.
Yu Jiao said bluntly: "I want to keep him in the capital to study, and I have already found a college for him in the capital."
Song smiled and said, "That's good. Qizhe has a dull personality. If Fei Ge'er stays in the capital, you guys will have more fun."
Yu Jiao said sincerely: "It would be even better if you and Dad could live in the capital city permanently. Our family can still be together as before, and my husband and I can be more filial."
After hearing such heartwarming words, the fine lines at the corners of Song's eyes smoothed out. Although she knew that both of her children were filial, as a parent, she was still happy from the bottom of her heart to hear such words.
"In a few years, when you and Qizhe plan to have a child, your father and I will definitely go there." Song and Yu Mengshan had both lived in the countryside for half their lives. They were not used to the large mansions in Shengjing, with too many rules and regulations, and they were always served by maids and servants. It was really uncomfortable to live there.
"Your grandparents are old, and they can't live without someone around them." Song was reluctant to speak and was very tactful.
In fact, ever since Yu Ruhai came back from the capital, he had become more and more difficult to deal with, perhaps because he had grown old or because he knew that his grandson had become a high-ranking official in the capital. He was just like an old child, and he kept making trouble in different ways every day, hoping that Yu Mengshan and his wife would agree to write to Yu Qizhe and take him to the capital, or find a good job for Yu Jinshu and Yu Jinyan.
Even if Song didn't say it, Yu Jiao also knew Yu Ruhai's character. If Yu Qizhe hadn't forced him with the matter of Yu Jinshu, the old man would not have wanted to leave the capital at all.
While they were talking, they had already reached the door of Yu's house. Looking at the courtyard with blue bricks and white tiles that had changed drastically, Yu Jiao almost didn't recognize it.
Song pushed the door open and said, "This courtyard was built with Zhizhou's money. Your father and I also added some more, leaving rooms for you and Fifth Brother. The courtyard is now more spacious than before."
After Yu Ruhai came back from the capital, he insisted on living in a big house. He always said that their Yu family now had an eldest son who was a village head and a grandson who was an official in the Dali Temple, and that they could not live so shabby any longer, otherwise he would not be able to live in this house for a day. He also said that all of his children were unfilial and did not let him enjoy life while he was alive.
Yu Mengshan and his wife and the first wife were really at their wits' end, so the two wives decided to rebuild a yard. This way, when the children came back or when Fuling came back with her son-in-law, they would both have room to live there.
During this year, Yu Zhizhou worked for Yu Jiao in Xiyun County and earned a lot of money. The Song family also saved a lot of money given to them by Yu Jiao and Yu Qizhe. The two families jointly paid for workers and spent more than a month to renovate the yard.
Yu Zhizhou commissioned someone to draw the blueprint, imitating the way those wealthy people built east and west courtyards. In this way, the two families still lived in the same courtyard, but each had a small courtyard, which was much more convenient than before. Yu Ruhai and Yu Zhou lived in the main courtyard.
Yu Jiao followed Song as they walked past the screen wall. Song said, "Since you're back, I'd better take you to meet your grandparents first." This would prevent them from talking behind her back.
Yu Jiao responded.
"Why is Miss Meng back?" Zhang was hanging quilts in the yard. When she looked up, she saw Song leading a young girl over. The girl looked very familiar to her. She quickly chased after her through the crescent-shaped gate of the east wing. When she saw that it was Yu Jiao, she was surprised and happy. After she finished speaking, she realized that she had spoken too quickly and had forgotten that Yu Jiao was no longer a girl from the Meng family.
