Chapter 213: Unwilling to Return, So I Just Give Her a Divorce Letter
At noon, Zhao cooked a pot of white rice, cut half a piece of meat, sliced the lean meat, used a few slices of fat to boil some lard, and then cooked a large bowl of meat soup.
He also picked a handful of small vegetable seedlings, only an inch long, from the vegetable garden, washed them, and blanched them in the broth.
For lunch, we had vegetable and meat soup with white rice and everyone was full.
Just as I put the bowl down, there was a knock on the door.
"Third brother, are Tang'er and Mr. Xu here?"
When Song Jinbao heard the noise, he quickly got up and opened the door.
Zhao also came to the door, "Dad and mom are here, have you eaten yet?"
"I came here after finishing my meal." Lin Guifen said with a smile, "I heard from your sister-in-law that Tang'er had returned home, so your father and I finished our meal and came over to take a look."
Song Yuntang and Xu Qingye stood up and greeted the two of them.
"We were supposed to visit grandpa and grandma, but we didn't expect them to come here to see us."
"It's okay." Lin held her hand and asked softly, "Is everything okay?"
Although Song Yuntang was not used to her sudden closeness, he didn't want to directly offend his elder.
"All good."
Lin smiled as she looked at the granddaughter in front of her. She was very beautiful and not a powerful person. She didn't know why she was possessed by a ghost and felt that Lin Zhaozhao was more considerate than her.
Song Jinbao took out the two jugs of wine brought by Xu Qingye and Song Yuntang and gave them to Song Xingye.
"Dad, these two bottles of wine are brought to you by your son-in-law and Tang'er, take them."
Song Xingye liked this very much. When he saw that the young couple brought him some wine when they returned home, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
"The two kids are thoughtful."
Next, Xu Qingye was pulled aside by Song Xingye and Song Jinbao to talk, while Song Yuntang was pulled by Lin and Zhao to the room where she had lived before.
"Tang'er, is Xu Qingye really alright?" Lin asked with a worried look on her face.
Song Yuntang nodded.
"It's already better."
"That's good." Lin patted her hands. "Although you are still young, he is already 23 years old. You should give him a few children as soon as possible. The title of scholar's wife is good, but no one knows what will happen in the future. If there is an accident in the future, having a child will at least give you something to rely on."
Song Yuntang actually doesn't like this kind of talk.
He is only seven years older, but it seems as if Xu Qingye will soon be unable to continue.
She knew his body better than anyone else.
As long as you take good care of yourself, there is no difference between you and a normal person.
But no matter how she explained, these people had their own subjective judgments, and always felt that Xu Qingye had been ill and would never get better, so she didn't want to explain anymore.
"knew."
Xu Qingye had arrived in the courtyard without knowing when. He looked at her house and shouted, "Tang'er, it's time to go home."
"Hey, here I come."
Song Yuntang said something to Lin and Zhao, then got up and left the room.
Xu Qingye pulled the mule, which had eaten and rested well, onto the mule cart and helped Song Yuntang up as well.
The two men said goodbye to the Song family and drove away in a mule cart.
After watching the mule cart go away, Lin looked at Zhao again.
"What did Tang'er say to you when he came back?"
Zhao shook her head. "She didn't say anything. She just told me not to get involved in Jinsheng's marriage."
After hearing this, Lin thought about it.
"I talked about this with your father when we were at the old house. Jinsheng is not bad looking, he is also capable and hardworking, he is young and has no hidden diseases. It's not like he can't get married, so there's really no need for him to look for a widow who has had a husband. Don't always believe what the matchmaker says. Xia was sent to the Liu family in Shili Village for eight years, and she slept in the same room with her husband for four years. It's impossible that nothing happened."
Zhao nodded, "Gang Tang'er told me that the child of the Liu family's eldest wife is very likely Xia's child."
Lin sighed.
"Mother knows that your family has a lot of things going on this year, with Tang'er getting married, Zhuangzi and Zhui going to school, and Jinyuan's wife giving birth next. But even if you don't have money, you shouldn't let Jinsheng down. You can't always pick on him and take advantage of him."
“I don’t have any…”
Just as Zhao was about to argue, Lin interrupted her.
"Have you ever, mother, not understood after all these years? Think about it carefully. Your father and I will go back to the old house first."
Since the family has been divided, she should just say what is necessary. It is not appropriate to say too much, as her children and grandchildren still have to live their own lives.
Among the more than ten grandchildren, only Song Yuntang has a promising future. I'm afraid the third brother's family will have to rely on her in the future.
Even the eldest brother's family is living a better and better life now, thanks to her.
As for the second brother's family, if it weren't for those two troublemakers, Ma and Song Zhimei, they wouldn't have had such a hard time.
Thinking that Ma had taken all the money from the second son's family back to her parents' home three days ago and had not shown any intention of returning, and that the family had run out of food these days and had to rely on the old couple for support, Lin became angry. She really didn't care about the lives of her family.
"Dad, Ma refuses to come back. Should we go to the second son's house?"
"Are you really planning to let me go with the second brother to pick her up?" Song Xingye snorted, "It's up to her to come back or not! I'm not going!"
Lin quickly explained.
"I'm not senile yet. I want to go to the second brother's house and ask him to find someone to help write a letter of divorce and send it to Ma's parents' home. If Ma wants to come back, she can come back. If she doesn't want to come back, just give her a letter of divorce and tell her not to come back. Not only that, even if she wants to come back, her father and eldest brother-in-law have to send her back personally."
"Doesn't she think she can take over our Song family? Let's let her know how powerful we are. Let's see if she dares to make trouble again in the future!"
Being divorced at such an old age, Ma will have to live out her life alone.
She wouldn't dare.
When Song Xingye heard this, he gave a thumbs up.
"That's a good idea. I don't think it will scare her to death." He quickened his pace and said, "Let's go to the second brother's house now."
Song Jinwen was shocked when he heard his parents' request.
Although he was also annoyed by his wife's love of causing trouble, he had never thought of divorcing her. After all, they had two sons and a daughter, who were now grown up. They had lived together for most of their lives and had never expected anything to change.
"Dad, Mom, this is inappropriate, isn't it?"
Lin said, "Why is it inappropriate? Didn't Ma not want to live anymore? It just so happens that after you divorce her, you won't be able to find another virgin. There are so many widows out there who have lost their husbands. It will be easy for you to find someone to live with, right?"
Without giving Song Jinwen a chance to speak, Song Xingye also spoke.
"You must complete this matter today and send it to the Ma family, otherwise don't call me dad anymore!"
After saying that, he took Lin away.
Song Jinwen stared blankly at the direction the old couple left, scratched his head, and was still completely confused.
Seeing this, Song Fulai and Song Changzhu next to them asked cautiously.
"Dad, are you really going to divorce mom?"
Although my mother was sometimes a little too extreme, she was my biological mother after all, and she couldn't bear to see my parents separated.
