Everyone gathered at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and the first thing the head of the village had to say at the meeting was to clean up the bad habits in the clan.
Widow Sun has behaved improperly. Now she is no longer the daughter-in-law of our Song family. She should go back to where she came from.
The old Song family has been keeping a low profile these days because of Song Erlang's incident, and Song Dashi hardly goes out.
So when the village chief wanted to hold a meeting, it was Old Lady Song who came out. When she heard that Widow Sun was going to be driven away, she became excited.
It is said that Widow Sun is not only immoral, but also a jinx. It seems that their family lives in harmony and everything goes well.
It was because of Widow Sun that their family was in turmoil.
Accusing her of playing tricks behind his back, Song Sanzhu was fooled into divorcing his wife. It was she who secretly made trouble and caused Chunsheng and his sister to break off their relationship.
It was said that she had defeated Sizhu so much that he lost his hands, defeated Sanzhu so much that he became paralyzed, and defeated Erlang so much that he lost his soul.
Old Lady Song cursed and wept as she spoke, as if she were the most wronged person in the world.
"She is a jinx, a jinx. Ever since we married her, our family has been in bad luck. If you don't believe me, look at my San'er. He became paralyzed after marrying her, but now, within two days of divorcing her, my San'er can stand up."
"She is a disaster. Let her go and leave our Song family alone."
Everyone looked at Song Sanzhu, who stood up straight and walked around in the crowd.
It’s true.
How is Song Sanzhu?
After all, the last time Song Erlang got into a fight, everyone saw him lying down, and later he was carried back. As for how he appeared by the river, everyone speculated that he might have wanted to commit suicide and crawled there.
Later, seeing that he had come to terms with it, this matter was deliberately ignored. Why bring it up again? Should I remind him? What if he becomes depressed and wants to commit suicide?
Everyone has seen how paralyzed Song Sanzhu was in the past. Although he is thinner now, he can move freely.
Could it be that Widow Sun is really unlucky?
No one can explain the supernatural and mysterious things. It is better to believe in their existence than to believe in their non-existence. Anyway, Widow Sun is not without a place to go. She still has a house in her ex-husband's family and her parents' home.
Then listen to the head of the village. It is better to drive away such a disgraceful person. Don't let one bad apple spoil the whole barrel.
Song Jinxiu took her mother home, and the two of them went to the warehouse to select materials.
Yes, now their family has a storehouse.
In fact, it is just a room where Song Jinxiu can move things around.
Now that there are more people in the family, there must be a place to store rice, flour, grain, oil, cotton, and cloth.
The mother and daughter were discussing how to make clothes when Song Jinfang ran in from the other side.
"Sister, the old patriarch wants you to attend a meeting."
Song Jinxiu was stunned, "Didn't our brother go there?"
Song Jinfang said: "The old patriarch said that you must go."
She was just watching the fun with excitement when the old patriarch came to call people, and told her to make sure to call her sister over.
The old clan leader: Speaking of private school matters, how could Xiu girl not come? If she doesn't come, how can she gather prestige among the people? Without prestige, how can she take over the position of clan leader?
Song Jinxiu had no doubts. Since it was the old patriarch who had given the order, she just went.
Song Jinxiu washed her hands and went out, while Song Jinfang excitedly and vividly told her mother the story of driving away Widow Sun.
After dealing with Widow Sun, the head of the village began to talk about Jinxiu's plan to open a private school in the village. Just as he finished speaking, Song Jinxiu arrived.
It is a great thing to have a private school in the village. The crowd was immediately excited. As soon as they saw Song Jinxiu coming, they all surrounded her.
"Xiu'er, how much does it cost per year for a private school? Can my son get in?"
"Xiu girl, no matter how much it costs, you are my son."
"And my family, we're going to sign up."
Song Jinxiu said quickly, "Let's go. Our village has a private school, so naturally everyone in our village can go in and study. Third Grandma, don't mention your grandson Dazhuang. Even if you want to learn to read, you can."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "I'm not kidding. Second Grandpa has already made arrangements for this matter. How about we listen to what the village head grandfather has to say?"
Song Jinxiu emphasized the word "li zheng" to tell everyone that if they had any questions about this matter, they could just ask the li zheng.
The village head waved his hand and prepared to speak, but the old clan leader hit him with his crutch. He said to Song Jinxiu, "Xiu girl, tell us what your great grandfather said today."
"Oh," Song Jinxiu had no choice. The old patriarch had given her an order, so she had to repeat her plan again.
It was noisy at first, but later it was very quiet. Everyone opened their mouths, as if listening to a foreign language. They understood every word and yet understood none of it.
After Song Jinxiu finished speaking, she was speechless after seeing everyone's reactions.
What's going on? What are you all doing in a daze? Are you unwilling or what?
Everyone, look at me and I look at you.
Fatty's father came over and said, "Brother Qingshan, pinch me."
Song Qingshan asked in confusion: "Why would I pinch you?"
"Pinch me if I tell you to. I'll see if I'm dreaming."
Aunt Huozi suddenly screamed, "You damn Huozi, why are you pinching me?"
Huozi said in a muffled voice, "I know it hurts, so it seems this is not a dream."
Suddenly, everyone became excited again.
"Xiu girl, don't lie to your aunt, this private school is really free?"
Song Jinxiu nodded: "Didn't I say that all the expenses of the private school will be deducted from the sideline business? If anyone in our village wants to learn to read, regardless of age, they can learn for free."
No one knows what side jobs are. Many people have never even heard of oil pressing. They know about lard, but have never heard that soybeans can produce oil.
Who hasn’t eaten cooked soybeans? Can they produce oil? Make some tofu!
I don't believe it, so I am skeptical about opening private schools and providing free education for children.
Old Lady Song snorted coldly, "Humph, you little girl is just talking big and making empty promises. It's embarrassing."
Old Lady Song hated it because this girl had money to throw to others but was reluctant to give a single penny to her grandparents.
Let people go to school for free? He is such a fool with so much money to burn and no vision.
Mai Sui Niang immediately replied, "That's right, no wonder you guys don't want her anymore, I think she just has some money to spend. Does she think running a private school is just a hundred or eighty bucks and she can just get away with it? Humph! I think she's making fun of the villagers!"
This child is an ungrateful person. She won't remember even if she is nice to her ten times, but she will turn her back on her once she is not nice to her.
Grandma Wu glared at the two of them and said, "Shut up. If you have something to do, just don't send your children to this school. Why are you making such sarcastic remarks here?"
Everyone cast condemning looks at him. If Jinxiu wanted to hire a teacher and run a private school, but there was not enough money, everyone should chip in. Could it be that someone wanted to take advantage of her for free?
The problem is, the fact that Xiu girl can say this shows that this child has this ability. Unlike some people, if you give a little love, you will expect others to repay you for a lifetime.
The old patriarch looked at the child and wondered where the enthusiasm for talking to them had gone. Is that all you have to say in just a few words?
He tapped his son's leg with his walking stick, "What are you standing there for? Repeat to me word for word what the girl said."
Village head: Who didn’t let me speak just now?
"Dad, the girl was quoting from classics and saying so many things. I was so excited at the time that I didn't remember anything."
The old patriarch looked disappointed and whispered to him, "Learning to read and write is a national priority, and it is also a priority for our Song family. Go, go and tell them."
"Dad, why don't you tell me about the oil pressing incident? I remember it clearly."
The old patriarch glared at him and said, "You only care about money, money, money. Where is your vision?"
Village head: Only when you have money can you have a broad mind, Dad!
