Chapter 228 Song Rou Gives Birth to a Daughter
Mrs. Xu's expression changed again and again. She finally figured out the reason and sighed: "Well, second son, you decide for yourself."
In her opinion, the housekeeper power should never be given, but she is old and does not want to be responsible for the lives of her daughter-in-law and grandson.
As soon as Mrs. Xu finished speaking, Mrs. Song looked at Mr. Cui and said, "Mr. Cui, do you want to agree to this so that Arou can give birth to the baby with peace of mind?"
Mr. Cui had no idea about family matters, but he was not stupid. He knew that there were some things he could not agree to, but when he heard Song Rou's shouting in the dormitory, he hesitated again.
He looked at Cui Si, but Cui Si ignored him.
He looked at Old Mrs. Xu, but she didn't say anything either.
For a moment, Mr. Cui felt like he was being roasted on a fire. It was a freezing cold day, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely on his forehead.
Cui Si pretended not to see it. It was not that she didn't feel sorry for her father, but that her father had married such a wife himself, so he should just accept it.
"Miss Jin and Miss Kang can't be sent away." Master Cui finally spoke. "They've been with me for many years and have given birth to children. They haven't done anything wrong. They definitely can't be kicked out."
Even though Mr. Cui had no feelings for his two concubines, they were his concubines after all and had given birth to his children, so he couldn't be so cruel.
"As for the stewardship..."
"What about the housekeeper's power?" Mrs. Song asked anxiously.
Cui Erye also knew that it was her who instigated this, but thinking that Song Rou was still giving birth, he didn't want anything to happen to the mother and child, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "As long as Ah Rou gives birth to the child safely, the housekeeper power can be given to her."
"Okay." Mrs. Song almost laughed out loud when she heard it.
The most important thing is the power of housekeeping. As for the two concubines, Madam Song really doesn't care. They are both in their thirties and have never been particularly good-looking. Now they are old and have no favors, so why bother about them?
Besides, even if I feel uncomfortable, it's no different if I hold them in my hands and make them suffer a fate worse than death.
"I'll go tell Arou right now and ask her to give birth to the baby safely." Mrs. Song got the result she wanted and left in a hurry. When she entered the bedroom, she told Song Rou about the matter, but Song Rou was still making a fuss.
"No, no! Drive them away! Drive them away!"
"Cui Changfeng, you have no conscience! You actually treated me like this for the sake of two concubines! Are my child and I less important than these two concubines?!"
Mrs. Song was helpless and finally persuaded the man again and again.
Old Mrs. Xu stared at Mr. Cui coldly, and Mr. Cui lowered his head and dared not say a word.
"Marry a virtuous wife, and a harmonious family will prosper. I told you this all along. You didn't understand then, but do you understand now?" Old Lady Xu's face was grim. "True love between a man and a woman is indeed precious, but if the husband is incompetent and the wife is unvirtuous, they will eventually become a couple of resentment."
No matter how deep the feelings are, they will be ground down by life and eventually turned into powder.
"You want to hand over the management to her? Fine. First, divide out the shares for the fifth and eighth brothers, and then keep the shares for the third and fifth brothers. The rest is up to you to do with."
"It's right that you love your wife and worry about your children, but you can't ruin your brother's family business, and you can't leave a mess for your eldest son to ruin the family."
"A'si, come and help me, I'm going back first."
After this incident, Old Mrs. Xu was furious and didn't bother to wait for Song Rou to give birth to a child. She already had many grandchildren, so she didn't need one from this mother.
Cui Si nodded, walked over to help Old Lady Xu leave, and returned to Qingsong Courtyard.
Old Madam Xu sat down again, drank a cup of hot tea, and calmed down for a moment, but she was still worried: "We really have to let the Song family be the housekeeper. If she is the housekeeper, it won't be long before all the Cui family's things will be moved to the Song family."
Cui Si thought for a moment and said, "Grandmother, don't worry. After the child is born, the Song family's problems will be dealt with."
Mrs. Xu paused holding the teacup, remembering the incident, and nodded, "You're right. It's time to deal with the Song family. They took my Cui family's things, and it's time to return them piece by piece."
These days, Mrs. Song has taken away countless things from Song Rou and Cui Xian at the Cui family. All the things in the Cui family have become the property of the Song family. So, the Cui family should ask for clear information.
Not only will the Song family's problems be resolved by then, but the Cui family will also have reason to refuse Song Rou, the thief who moved the Cui family's things with her mother, who wants the right to manage the household.
It’s no wonder that the Cui family turned against the Song family after making an agreement. It’s because the Song family had bad intentions and wanted to plot against the Cui family.
After thinking it through, Old Lady Xu breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she had a reason to turn against him. She was really worried about handing over the housekeeping power to Song Rou, otherwise the Cui family would really be in a mess.
"Now that you're back, don't leave. The New Year will be here in a few days."
"good."
.
At nightfall that day, Song Rou gave birth to a daughter. Because she had been holding it in for too long, the child's body was covered in blues and purples. According to the midwife, if she had delayed it for another hour, the child would have died.
After hearing this, Mrs. Xu became angry again and thought Song Rou was confused and stupid.
Making a fuss while giving birth is truly a act of desperation for both your own life and that of your child.
Mrs. Song is also a piece of shit. She instigated her daughter to make trouble during childbirth. She simply didn't take her daughter's life seriously. She only cared about whether her Song family could make a profit.
That night, Mrs. Xu took Cui Si and Cui Hao to Qinse Garden to see the child.
Mr. Cui named the child Cui Xian, after Cui's legitimate daughter, Shi Niang.
Song Rou hadn't woken up yet, but Mrs. Song was not satisfied with the name.
"I know the rules of the Cui family. When Liu Niang was born, she was named Si, which is taken from the eight ancient surnames. Shi Niang is also the eldest daughter of the legitimate family. Why can't we choose one of them?"
The eight ancient surnames were Ji, Jiang, Si, Yao, Ying, Xun, Gui, and Ji. At present, among the three families, only Cui Xun, Cui Yao, and Cui Si have this honor, and the mistresses of the three families each have a daughter.
Old Madam Xu had just had a granddaughter. Thinking that Song Rou might make a fuss when she woke up, she didn't care about it and said to Madam Song, "Then choose one for yourself."
"Then take Hime."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Xu's face changed drastically, and she immediately frowned. "I think you've gone crazy. Even if the Ji family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is in ruins, it's not your turn to ride on their faces."
It's really crazy.
Even if the royal family of the Great Zhou is no longer in good shape, it is simply insane to provoke them just for a name.
"Then take 'ji'. If you want to use it, use that. If not, call her Cui Xian. Cui Xian is also good, quiet and virtuous. You won't be like your mother, who is stupid."
Madam Song was startled and didn't dare to say anything more. She gritted her teeth and said, "Then it's Cui Ji."
Thus, Cui Shiniang's name was decided.
Mrs. Song looked at the child, feeling regretful and secretly hating Song Rou for not living up to her expectations.
"Why is it a girl doll?"
