The next day, after breakfast, Song Jinxiu was sorting out the information collected by Treasure Hunter Rat Junjun.
With the help of Kai Ling Dan, Jun Jun has trained an animal team.
There were about twenty to thirty animals that had evolved through the magic elixir. They could understand Junjun's orders and conduct simple communication.
Yingchun came in and said, "Miss, the old lady is here with Master Dongyuan."
In order to distinguish Zhang Donghan from Song Sanzhu, the maids in the mansion all called Zhang Donghan "Master Dongyuan".
"Okay, let them in."
The backyard of the county government is actually divided into three courtyards.
When Tian Xinghua moved to the county mansion, Song Jinxiu gave them a small courtyard to the east of the county mansion to live in, just as she did when she lived in the other courtyard.
Zhang Han and his mother lived in the county government office, so they had more freedom.
The corner gate of the courtyard also allows Zhang Han to enter and exit the county government freely.
In the middle courtyard lives Jinfang.
In the small courtyard to the west, Aunt Cuihua, Second Aunt, and Auntie lived there. There is also a small door for them to enter and exit freely, making it convenient for them to shop.
The scumbag dad, Xuan Zhen, Fang Yu, Xiao Qiu Sheng and others live in the front yard.
The other uncles and brothers still stayed in the other courtyard.
The second courtyard naturally belongs to Song Jinxiu.
Knowing Song Jinxiu's temper, Zhang's mother said straight to the point: "Xiu, we all know the rumors in the capital."
Song Jinxiu frowned, "My mother also knows?"
Zhang's mother waved her hands quickly, "How dare we let her know? Your mother is very worried, and we kept it a secret from her."
Worrying?
Tian Xinghua has always been very concerned about her remarriage, fearing that it would have a negative impact on her children. She is also pregnant, so she seldom goes out.
The only reason people in the capital knew about his mother's remarriage was because of his scumbag father's disappearance, which was spread by confidants.
Zhang Han thought for a while and said, "There are so many people in the county government, I'm afraid I can't hide it."
The mother and daughter looked at each other, Zhang Han sighed and said, "Let's talk to my mother. We want to move out."
Song Jinxiu nodded and took out a deed from the drawer.
"I've already bought the house next door. Have someone clean it up and open a small door between the two houses to make it easier to move around."
Zhang Han held the contract, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. What's the difference between living next door and living in the mansion?
There is even a small door in the middle, aren’t they still a family?
Song Jinxiu looked at his expression, frowned and asked, "Why? Do you want to buy a courtyard for yourself to live in? After you graduate from high school, you can take a concubine or a maid?"
Zhang Han was about to nod, but when he heard Song Jinxiu's next words, he stood up in shock.
"What are you talking about? According to the clan rules of our Song family, how can I take a concubine?"
"Jun, don't provoke me with words. I am not an ungrateful person. I eat your food, wear your clothes, and you also provide me with learning resources.
Although he is not a son-in-law, it is no different from marrying into the wife's family. I am a son-in-law, if I don't stay with your mother, and I am full and bored, then I will go find a concubine? ”
He said seriously:
"Jinxiu, I swear on my reputation as a scholar that I really miss your mother, and I will love her all my life.
Now that your mother is pregnant, no matter whether it is a girl or a boy, my Zhang family is the heir. Don't try to hit me with words. ”
Just kidding, he has been watching this stepdaughter's tricks silently these days.
That's really killing without spilling any blood, and this girl has no taboos.
Therefore, it must be explained clearly and no misunderstanding should be allowed. He still wants to live a good life!
Otherwise, even your wife and children might be snatched away. And his mother was kicked out.
Don't think he doesn't know. These past few days, Song Sanzhu has been running around to promote his wife as a chaste and heroic woman, and that all the faults were his. It was he who forced her to remarry.
What does he mean? Want to reconcile? There's no way!
Song Sanzhu: Bah, if I hadn't wanted to please my daughter, would I have destroyed my reputation like this? I don't even care about your wife. Women are not good.
Zhang's mother was also shocked.
She met a fellow villager these two days and chatted with him for a while. She sighed and said that her family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet, so she wanted to find a woman for her son who was married and had children.
Fellow villagers said: They were blessed by God to be alive when they fled from the famine, and it was not easy for them, an orphan and a widow, to marry and have children.
Later, I heard that my son was preparing for the imperial examination, and he also said: When you pass the exam, if you really feel wronged, you can take a virgin as a concubine or a maid as your maid.
But these words were said by her fellow villagers, and she didn't say a word.
He didn't even dare to mention his identity as his daughter-in-law. After all, rumors about the daughter-in-law have been circulating in the capital these days. Was she saying this to show off her status as a step-granddaughter? Or will it just make people laugh at you?
Zhang's mother also hurriedly said: "Jinxiu, don't worry, my wife is not an ungrateful person. If she hadn't married your mother, we would still be starving in Toad Village!"
Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "I'm just saying it casually. Okay, uncle, you should just focus on preparing for the exam. I'll leave these trivial matters to Aunt Chang."
As she spoke, she took out another stack of information, "This is the one annotated by the old Prime Minister Wei. He was the top scholar back then."
Zhang Han took the information and followed Zhang's mother to leave. They walked to a deserted place.
Zhang Han frowned, "Originally I was thinking of buying a small courtyard, where our family can spend the days behind closed doors, so that Xinghua can have some peace and quiet.
But now it seems impossible, because they live next door to each other and the two families come and go. I was afraid that she would not be able to bear the rumors. Why don't we tell her ourselves? ”
Zhang's mother said, "Son, Xinghua is very thoughtful. I don't mind remarrying, but you'd better not let her know about this rumor. I'm afraid she will get upset."
Zhang Han shook his head. "This matter was originally deliberately targeted at Kangle County. Since it was deliberately targeted, it is inevitable that someone would deliberately mention it in front of her mother."
He emphasized the pronunciation of “intentionally”.
"So I thought we should tell her in advance so that she can be mentally prepared. Mom, please spend more time with her these days."
"I know." Zhang's mother nodded.
Zhang's mother was also very depressed. Her daughter-in-law was very capable, but she, as the mother-in-law, did not dare to put on airs. I dare not speak loudly in front of my daughter-in-law.
Mother Zhang looked up at the sky: think about it, it was difficult to get enough food in the past, and she would be very happy to eat white flour occasionally.
Now I eat meat every day, but I still feel so troubled and unsatisfied.
Could it be that I am the kind of greedy person who is never satisfied with what I have?
The mother and daughter discussed how to explain the matter in a way that would cause the least harm to Tian Xinghua.
Song Sanzhu was peeking in at the eldest girl's door.
After coming back from outside, he was left out in the cold. He didn't know what the eldest girl was thinking. She asked him to at least give her a final decision whether to kill him or cut him up. As a result, he couldn't sleep well at night. His dreams were all about the cold smell of Tongshui River.
There was a fruit basket on Song Jinxiu's desk. Treasure-hunting rat Junjun was lying in it with his legs crossed, letting Song Jinxiu hang a bunch of grapes on the handle of the basket. Then he tilted his face up and put his mouth close to the grapes to eat them one by one.
The comfortable little Junjun looked at Song Sanzhu who was peeking around, thinking that he was playing hide-and-seek with her. So he used the basket as a cover and played the "hide-in-the-eye" game with him.
Song Jinxiu tapped Xiao Junjun's head with amusement, then rushed to the door and said, "Come in."
