Tian Xinghua looked at the medicine in her mouth, took a bite, and said, "Then I'll go back tomorrow."
When the mother-in-law is ill, a daughter-in-law should take care of her. At most, she should stay at home for a few days and come back when the mother-in-law recovers.
Now that she has the support of her child, she thinks the mother and daughter won't keep an eye on her anymore, afraid that she will run away, right?
Song Jinxiu finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Who are the family members showing their deep love for each other and for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
"Well, mother, since your mother-in-law is ill, don't leave. We will go back to Songjia Village together later, so you don't have to run back and forth."
Zhang Bangchui quickly shook his head: "No, no, I..."
Song Jinxiu glanced at him and asked, "What else can't you let go of at home?"
Zhang Bangchui: "That's not the case, it's just..."
What can’t fit in a thatched house? It’s just what a gentleman does and what he shouldn’t do.
How can a stepfather, who brings his family and his mother to live in someone else's child's home, be allowed to do this?
Song Jinxiu said sternly: "Uncle, my mother won't go with you. Your mother is sick. In order to fulfill my mother's filial piety, would you mind letting your mother and uncle stay at my house for a while?"
If you don't stay, how can you contact him? If you don't contact him, how can you know what kind of character this man is?
How can you feel confident in marrying your mother to him without testing him properly?
Just think about it, this is tiring. Others are worried about finding a husband for their daughter, but she is going through the trouble of testing the stepfather.
"Xinghua, is this your eldest daughter? Oh, she's so pretty."
The old woman fumbled around on her body for a while and found a yellow stone.
"Hey, this is the first time I see you, and I don't have anything to show you, so I'll give this to you to play with."
The stone is yellow with a hint of red, very beautiful. The texture is smooth and round, and it is very comfortable to hold.
Song Jinxiu didn't know what kind of stone this was, but she could tell that the woman often played with it. It must be something she likes very much.
Song Jinxiu looked at her mother and saw her nod, then she smiled and took it.
Zhang's mother smiled and said, "Don't be disgusted. Wait for the opportunity and ask your uncle to carve a seal for you."
"Uncle can also carve seals?"
Song Jinxiu felt the stone and found it was indeed a good material for carving a seal.
"Oh, since I was little, besides studying, I have been carving seals. It's a pity that my son..."
Judging from what Zhang's mother said, Zhang Bangchui is still a scholar?
Song Jinxiu looked at her mother, and Tian Xinghua said that she knew nothing.
Zhang Bangchui looked distressed, "Mom, it's all in the past, don't mention it again."
There is nothing good to say about scholars. Nowadays, I feel that no one is a scholar, and this is the truth.
Tian Xinghua asked, "Mom, has your husband really studied?"
Zhang's mother smiled bitterly and said, "You are not only educated, but also a scholar."
It turns out that this stick is called Zhang Zihan. He was from a wealthy family and went to school since he was young. He became a scholar at the age of sixteen.
Song Jinxiu raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect her stepfather to be such a top student. No wonder his beggar's outfit couldn't hide his bookish air.
However, there are unexpected changes in the world, and fortune and misfortune may come to us at any time.
However, a disaster almost broke up their family.
There was a severe drought in March, and all the landlords fled with their families. Naturally, they cannot survive in the local area.
When our whole family fled from famine, they encountered a riot by refugees. My father was hacked to death by bandits on the spot in order to protect us mother and son.
When they crawled out of the pile of dead bodies, they found only their grandmother's body next to their father's. My grandfather and uncles are all missing.
Their household registration and Zhang Bangchui's scholar certificate were in their aunt's backpack, so the mother and daughter became refugees.
Although he settled in Toad Village later, he was not able to enjoy the government's resettlement policy and was not given any land or resettlement allowance.
Fortunately, they were registered as locals, so the mother and daughter built a thatched hut at the foot of the mountain and lived on hunting.
When Zhang Bangchui came, he wanted to find a job copying books, but there was only one bookstore in the county, and there were too many people who wanted to make a living by copying books.
Song Jinxiu asked puzzledly: "Shouldn't you go to the government and get a new certificate for the scholar?"
Mother Zhang sighed and said, "We went to find him, and he said they needed a certificate of origin. But when we saved up enough money and went through so much trouble to ask for help to go back to his hometown, they said that my son's household registration had been cancelled and there was no such person in the scholar's file."
this?
This stepfather is really unlucky, no wonder he is called Bangchui.
At this time, Song Chunsheng and his friends also bought a ox cart and came over.
"Mom, I helped pick it, and brother Fuquan said I have a good taste." From a distance, Xiao Qiu Sheng jumped out of the car and ran over to take credit.
When they saw Zhang Bangchui and his mother, they exchanged greetings again.
Song Jinxiu said that she wanted to invite Zhang's mother and son to live in Songjia Village. Although Song Chunsheng was not very happy, he nodded and agreed for the sake of his mother.
Two ox carts, one carrying goods and the other carrying people, entered Songjia Village in a lively manner.
Aunt Cuihua, who lived at the entrance of the village, saw us and called out in a loud voice from a distance.
"Chunsheng, please come back. Go home quickly. Something happened at home."
When everyone heard this, their faces changed drastically, "What happened, Auntie?"
"Ouch, there's a thief in your house."
Song Fuquan asked in surprise: "Ah? Did you catch him?"
Aunt Cuihua looked constipated. "I did catch him, but... I can't explain it clearly. You will know when you go back and take a look."
When Tian Xinghua heard that a thief had broken into the house, her face turned pale.
She also buried two hundred taels of silver in the east wing.
"Chunsheng, please stop for a moment. I'll get out of the car and run over there."
She thought the ox cart was too slow.
Song Jinxiu also said: "Don't worry, mother, I will go with you."
"I'm going too. I'm going too."
Jinfang and Xiao Qiu Sheng also jumped out of the car and ran home.
Suddenly, only Zhang Bangchui and his mother were left on the ox cart.
Mother Zhang glared at her son and said, "Why don't you go and take a look? Don't let anyone hurt Xinghua and the children."
So, Tian Xinghua and Song Jinxiu ran in front, Jinfang and Xiao Qiu Sheng followed behind, and Zhang Bangchui followed behind.
A group of people hurried home in a hurry, and people pointed and talked about something from time to time on the way.
The gate of the independent courtyard at the eastern end of the village was open, and a group of people were surrounding it.
There was a man lying on the ground, and it was obvious that he had been beaten, with a bruised face and nose.
There were two more people, a man and a woman, who were surrounded by villagers and would not be allowed to leave.
Su Kui stood at the gate of Song Jinxiu with a ferocious look on his face.
Today, I brought Yiming to give money to the sister of the Song family. Unexpectedly, the Song family’s door was closed and no one was at home.
Dong and Yiming hid in the dark and chatted, waiting for the Song family girl to come back.
But at this moment, an old man came stealthily and pried open the door of the Song family.
Dong and Yiming looked at each other and followed the old man into the Song family. Want to see what this old man wants to do?
The old man leaned on the window of the east and west rooms to look inside, then took out the weighing hammer in his arms and smashed the lock of the main room door.
Su Kui took a look and thought, isn't this a thief? So without saying a word he started beating him up.
The old man was beaten so hard that he cried for mercy.
The noise startled the villagers passing by, and soon the whole village was in an uproar.
The people asked who Su Kui and the other two were and why they beat the old man. Why do you all come to Chunsheng's house?
The person who was beaten was none other than Chunsheng's grandfather Song Dashi.
Song Dashi then realized that the person who beat him was not Chunsheng, nor was he a villager, so he insisted that Su Kui and the others were thieves, and if they were discovered, they would kill them to silence them.
