Too much is as bad as too little.

So she changed the subject: "Aunt, Yu'er hasn't seen her mother since she was born. Her father...is working away from home and has a wife and children. When things are good, we can see each other once during the Chinese New Year, but when things are bad, we can't see each other for two or three years. I haven't told anyone this...I really miss my father and want to be with him. I really, really envy my second sister!"

She seemed to be mumbling to herself, her expression was so lonely...

Mrs. Song felt sorry for her. "Your father! He is smart and motivated in schoolwork and work. But he is too careless in life." How could he treat his eldest daughter like this? "It's not easy to be a father."

"You have always been a considerate and kind girl!" Mrs. Song set the tone.

"My aunt praised me! This time, my father gave me my mother's dowry." She squinted her eyes with joy.

"Oh, I did hear about it. But you are a little girl who has never been involved in this before. It's really hard for you to handle so many things at once. I just told your grandmother about it yesterday."

"Ke Yuer was very happy. She read the things her mother left behind over and over again. But... to be honest, I haven't slept well for several days. I was afraid that I would not do well and would fail my mother's hard work. I was also afraid of being laughed at by others!"

Mrs. Song disagreed. "Your mother's spirit in heaven would only wish you peace and happiness! As for the dowry, as long as you have done your best, she will not be harsh on you, whether the result is good or bad! Besides, this matter has nothing to do with others, why should others laugh at you!?"

"I appreciate your words, Auntie!" Wen Yu nodded solemnly.

Mrs. Song really liked her attitude.

"Aunt, just now at Xiangyun Pavilion, Yuer saw my cousin talking about something and thought, oh my god, he was so proud! Oh, if Yuer could be even one tenth as good as my cousin, I would be so happy!"

"Haha! Your cousin is very smart and hardworking. He started working at the age of twelve!"

"Yu'er, you must work hard. In the future, I hope your mother will be as proud of having an outstanding daughter as you are!"

"I watched you grow up. I know you very well: you are kind, you protect your family, and you are well-behaved! Your mother will definitely be proud of you!"

Wen Yu blushed and laughed in her heart: You didn’t say that in my last life.

"Oh, you're a grown-up girl now, and you're going to get engaged!" Seeing Wen Yu lower her head, Mrs. Song giggled, "Auntie will keep an eye out for you!"

"Aunt, Yu'er won't listen!"

"Well, if you don't listen, I'll go talk to your grandmother! I'll definitely find a good match for you!"

"Yuer wants me to ask my aunt to ask my cousin to do something for me, but don't just think about the benefits!"

Mrs. Song laughed out loud, and her mood suddenly brightened up. "Silly girl, he was just teasing you!"

"When Yu'er gets things done and makes some money, I'll treat my aunt to a meal at the Eight Immortals Restaurant!"

"Okay! Auntie is waiting!"

The two of them laughed.

"Aunt, then... Yu'er wants to go and apologize to my cousin's wife first. Do you think it's okay?"

"What do you think?" Mrs. Song was a little surprised.

"Look, my cousin and his wife have been married for many years and have a little girl named Xiaohan. Just now, my cousin's wife was so angry, and my cousin was also angry. If they don't give in to each other, how will it end..."

This made Mrs. Song completely dispel her doubts. She snorted again, "mutually" not giving in...

How can a husband give in to his wife? !

"Speaking of my cousin's wife, she does have reason to be proud! If my cousin can take the initiative to give in, I think everything will be fine!"

Mrs. Song's expression darkened again, "A husband should give in to his wife?!"

"Aunt~~Yu'er means: Make a big deal out of a small matter. Besides, it wasn't a big deal in the first place. I don't know why my cousin's wife is so angry... huh?!"

Wen Yu lost her composure while talking and quickly stopped talking, feeling extremely embarrassed...

Mrs. Song found it funny, this girl! "Hehe, Auntie! Yu'er is worried about you and your cousin. If this matter is not resolved, it will be so painful. You have worked hard for half your life, and you should enjoy your life. How can you be happy if you are always thinking about this?"

"Oh, you little girl..." Mrs. Song patted Wen Yu's little hand. She is really more sensible than Mrs. Wei!

"Aunt, Yu'er really doesn't want your family to be unhappy. So, I came up with a good idea: Yu'er goes to apologize to my cousin's wife, and you can beat her or scold her as you like! If she still can't get over it, my cousin can say a few soft words to her. It will definitely be all right in one day!"

Mrs. Song looked at her.

"Look, they're back together. If I have a nephew, it'll be a wonderful life. Don't you think so?"

"Haha, you have made a very clear arrangement!"

"Please don't laugh at me! Only in this way can I feel at ease. Otherwise, I will feel really guilty! I really don't want her to lose her temper with her cousin..."

Mrs. Song said, "I appreciate your kindness. But you don't have to worry about it. Your cousin has a plan. At worst, we still have our aunt!"

"Ah! Really?! That's what you said!" Wen Yu's eyes sparkled.

"Yeah, I said it!"

"Okay, okay, auntie should go to bed early. Yu'er is going back. Good night, auntie!" Wen Yu hurriedly bowed, feeling relieved, and ran away with a smile.

…

Wen Yu returned to the yard and was seen by Nanny Song.

I went back and told Old Lady Wen, "I don't know where the eldest girl has gone. She just came back now!"

Old Mrs. Wen snorted, "She's very familiar with this place!" She felt uncomfortable thinking of how attentive Wen Yu was to Mrs. Song.

Wen Yu returned to the room, and Yan Zhu asked, "How is it?!"

"It's okay!" Wen Yu stopped smiling.

In this life, even if I don’t walk with Song Shang, I can’t let you stay in the Song family.

…

Not long after Wen Yu left, Song Shang came back.

Mrs. Song quickly sat up and looked at her son. He had bright eyes and was in a good mood, with only a slight smell of alcohol on him...

So I felt relieved.

"Mother, I am sorry for making you worried."

"What are you talking about? It's okay. But what do you want to do next?"

"Mother...son wants to divorce."

After hearing this, Mrs. Song looked calm and not anxious at all!

Song Shang was surprised...

"Son, is it because of Wen Yu?!" No one knows a child better than his mother.

She no longer doubted Wen Yu, but she still doubted her son! Song Shang did not answer, but pulled a stool and sat next to his mother.

"I've been thinking about this for two years. To be honest, the fact that you don't have a grandchild yet has something to do with me."

Mrs. Song said nothing and looked at Song Shang.

"I found out that the Wei family had been close to King Wu two years ago."

"Why, how did it get to this point?!"

"The Wei family... has been doing well these years, so they must have higher aspirations. If that person wants to succeed, he will need a lot of money. I'm worried that the Song family will be sacrificed."

"Ah?!" Mrs. Song was shocked.

"In the future, if that person succeeds, the Wei family will be invincible and will probably swallow me up. But if that person fails, the Song family will suffer as well, and the whole family will not be able to escape."

"Oh my God, is this true? I didn't expect that we would be involved in this matter?" Mrs. Song broke out in a sweat.

"This is also the reason why I didn't want to marry into the Wei family. Haha, they don't have much ability, but they have a big appetite. Moreover, they dare to think and act boldly, and for the sake of profit, they even sell their legitimate daughter! It's very boring!"

"Then, if you want to divorce, will the Wei family agree? Will they not be angry?"

Song Shang said, "Originally, I was planning to delay for a while. But now... half a year later, the King of Wu will come to Beijing. If the Wei family wants to please, they have to pay the price, then I will have something to negotiate!"

"What to do afterwards?"

"There's nothing to worry about. Over the years, the Wei family's affairs have not escaped my attention. If he's soft, I'll give in. If he's tough, I won't let him suppress me so easily."

"Son, there is nothing worth reminiscing about the Song family except your deceased father. The property is of little use to us...bird's nests and rice porridge. The safety of mother and son is what is important."

"I know, mother, don't worry!"

Mrs. Song had experienced many ups and downs. Although this turn was a little sharp, she was still able to keep her composure and said firmly, "I have nothing to worry about when you do things! Wei... Hehe, I'm afraid we can't give her what she wants! I respected her for so many years only because I love you! Otherwise... Hehe."

"Thank you for your understanding, mother."

"Then... should you arrange two people to be by your side? Give me two grandchildren first!"

"Haha! Mother, you have to take good care of yourself. In the future, you will have a lot of grandchildren! When the time comes, I will ask you to take care of them. It won't do if you complain about back and leg pain!" Song Shang is the best at manipulating his mother.

"How could it be!? I'm fine!"

"Well, this happened before your birthday. Hehe... I'll need my mother to deal with it for the next two days."

"Don't worry!" Mrs. Song sneered, "What's the big deal?"
