Yang Hua even took out a thorn stick and pointed it at Yang Ji, cursing: Don't think that you won't get beaten just because you got married. You've already raised him to adulthood and fulfilled your promise to your parents. You can't possibly support him for the rest of his life.
If he dares to ask me and my younger sister for money again, I will disown my brother.
When Yang Ji's wife saw her sister-in-law get angry, she was so frightened that she cried. The two women who came from her parents' home were also embarrassed and couldn't save face.
All I could do was say with a dark face that Yang Hua wanted to get married, but she was already thinking about her husband's family before even entering the family. She didn't even consider who her own family was. She said that she would suffer mistreatment in her husband's family and would have to rely on her younger brother from her own family to support her, and so on.
Yang Hua retorted with a single sentence: "A married woman is like water spilled from a cup. I also have to live my own life. If I don't care about my husband's family, am I only caring about my own family? What's the point of getting married then? Just stay at your parents' home and don't go out and cause trouble."
"You said you'd rely on your family for support in the future, but look at you, so weak and helpless when your wife manipulates you. I'm just upset, what ability do you have to back me up? Just your shamelessness?"
Yang Hua used to be very strict with her younger brother, but after Yang Ji came of age, she never scolded or hit him again.
Now, after being slapped by her older sister, half of her face is swollen, and she dares not utter a sound.
The young wife knew that this was actually an insult directed at her, even in front of her own family and outsiders like Song Zhenping. She immediately burst into tears and ran into the house, refusing to come out.
The two women from the sister-in-law's family were too ashamed to stay any longer and could only slink away.
With this commotion, the marriage can't be finalized today, so Aunt Zhang and Chun Tao are about to leave with Song Zhenping.
Just as the three of them left the hospital, Yang Hua ran out, called Song Zhenping to her side, and said something.
"What did she say?" Song Liyun wasn't angry at all at this moment, but seeing Song Zhenping's flushed face, she couldn't help but ask.
Yang Hua said... she told me to wait for her.
Song Zhenping lowered his head and picked at his fingers.
Song Liyun is now increasingly satisfied with Yang Hua's performance.
The Song family needs a matriarch like this. Now Yang Hua needs to handle the household affairs of the Yang family after her marriage, so I'll just wait.
Song Zhenping is only twenty years old, there's no rush.
In fact, a dowry of fifty taels of silver is nothing to the Song family now.
The trouble caused by the Yang family wasn't simply about money, or perhaps Yang Hua wasn't concerned about the betrothal gifts.
If Yang Ji cannot establish himself and manage the household well, there will only be unrest in the family in the future.
Good things come to those who wait. Yang Hua is capable of handling things on her own, so give her enough time.
Song Zhenping's face showed a look of shame: "If I had treated my second uncle and the others like this when I was in Xiaoshi Village, wouldn't I have..."
Song Liyun interrupted him: "Our situations are different. When your parents died, you were nine years old, and Xiao An was only a six-month-old baby. You also have uncles, aunts, and grandmothers above you. They are your rightful elders, and you can only obey whatever they say."
These elders occupy the moral high ground, and with Granny Gu and Madam Gu having a group of relatives as their backers, it's difficult for outsiders to even say a word in their defense.
Yang Hua took charge of the household on her own at the age of fourteen. Although the work was hard, she was independent and no one bullied or humiliated her.
Song Zhenping and his group, however, were like baby elephants being tamed by wearing shackles from a young age.
If he had dared to resist, the two brothers would probably have died long ago under the torture of beatings and hunger.
At least Xiao An won't survive.
With a lack of medical care and medicine, coupled with deliberate actions, there are many ways to cause a baby to die suddenly.
In the Zhang family's house in town, the door was closed. Aunt Zhang took off her coat, sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and pounded her legs. She sighed to her husband, "You know, this was all going to happen, how did it end up like this!"
Old Zhang, puffing on his cigarette, smacked his lips and said, "This is my fate. If I'm not going to jump into this lucky place, I'll have to climb a dry slope."
Yang Hua is a clever girl. She said to tell the young master Song to wait, and that she would probably have to figure out a way herself.
Aunt Zhang started complaining again: "And those two sisters-in-law from the Fu family, they say they're doing it for their great-aunt's good, but they just want to get their money and run away."
While other women were going on blind dates, they were very enthusiastic, even saying in front of Daping that Yanghua was a shrew who would ruin the family's reputation.
"Bah! They don't even know how far they've gotten themselves involved. They've already started ruling the place; they'll probably start interfering with the Song family too."
Old Zhang tapped his pipe on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and said slowly, "Thinking about it is pointless. Young Master Song is not like Yang Ji, who is limp and can't stand up straight."
"Old man, do you think there's any chance this can be salvaged?"
Aunt Zhang felt somewhat embarrassed that she had made a wasted trip when she was completely confident of success.
"Well, you said that when you left, Yang Hua chased after Song Xiaoge and spoke to him alone. Maybe he gave her some instructions in private."
And when those two women started stirring up trouble, Brother Song didn't even get angry. He didn't care at all. Hmm... you just have to wait and see!
Old Zhang started pinching tobacco leaves again.
That seems to be the case; Brother Song didn't seem unhappy on his way back.
Aunt Zhang felt relieved, but then she saw her husband packing his pipe again and immediately yelled, "How many pipes have you smoked already? The whole room smells so bad it's unbearable to stay here!"
What the couple said was indeed true.
At the Yang family home, the two women, in front of Song Zhenping, said many things about Yang Hua being shrewish and lacking manners, and that she would ruin the family's reputation in the future.
Unexpectedly, Song Zhenping, Yang Ji’s blind date, did not react after hearing this. He even said that if Yang Ji did not do this, there would be no way to find him a wife.
Song Zhenping genuinely didn't think there was anything wrong with this... If he did something wrong one day, Yun'er wouldn't hit him, but she would get angry and yell at him!
Now we have to wait for news from Yang Hua, and Song Zhenping's marriage is temporarily on hold.
Before Song Liyun even went to work at Tianxiang Tower, she received a message from the garrison: the sheepskin has arrived!
Manager Wan said the bag shop needed sheepskin, and Song Liyun relayed the message to the garrison. Commander Luo said he would give a reply in five days, and now the goods are available.
Song Liyun made a trip to Qili County and found Wan Chun's leather goods shop, asking Manager Wan Shan to pass on a message to Manager Wan Da.
That night, Manager Wan led a convoy to Suijin Town.
Song Liyun drove the Wan family's horse-drawn carts directly to load the goods and even received a travel permit that read "Military Supplies".
Having this is like having a pass or a talisman.
Although the distance was limited to the distance between Suijin Town and Pingyang Prefecture, there was no longer any fear or anxiety.
This is the benefit that Luo Baihu obtained from Jiang Feng.
Manager Wan was stunned by this enormous surprise.
“Miss Song, can we become imperial merchants in the future? No, it’s impossible to become imperial merchants. We’ll be satisfied with being official merchants.”
Manager Wan carefully placed the travel permit, his face beaming with joy.
Merchants in the Wu Dynasty were divided into three categories, with the highest-ranking being the Imperial Merchants, who were responsible for purchasing goods for the royal family.
In addition to the usual items used in the palace, such as spices, cloth, and medicinal herbs, the palace also received various rewards from the imperial relatives and nobles in the capital each year.
Therefore, in addition to following the usual purchasing practices each year, we also need to report some new goods.
To become a royal merchant, one must first have the title of a tribute merchant, being a merchant designated by the Ministry of Revenue to be responsible for special supplies.
Those who can engage in the buying and selling of palace palaces are naturally members of the royal family or have connections with the royal family.
