Chapter 171 Song Laosan's Worldview Shattered
She spoke in a firm tone, word by word, and Song Lao San suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, if my daughter doesn't like it, then she won't marry him."
"You're rebelling!" Old Lady Song couldn't hold it in any longer and slammed the table. "I've already agreed with the Liang family that we'll exchange engagement letters the next day and have a wedding banquet in half a month. You just say you don't want to do it!"
Old Mrs. Song spoke too fast, and before Boss Song and Song Rouxi could stop her, she had already spit out everything.
"It's agreed?" Song Lao San's face darkened. "Brother, you haven't even asked us about this, nor have you asked Song Ci's opinion. So you just decided on this privately?"
The eldest brother of the Song family blamed the old lady of the Song family in his heart, but he smiled and said, "Isn't this too happy? Besides, the Liang family is such a good family, it's hard to find one even with a lantern. How could we have thought that you, my third brother, would disagree? In my opinion, Song Ci is beautiful, and she should marry into the Liang family and enjoy happiness."
Afraid that Song Lao San would not agree, he brought up Song Lan again, "Besides, isn't Song Lan going to study in the future? He still needs someone to support him in business. In the future, Song Ci will marry into the Liang family. Who dares to be disrespectful or do bad things to him when he does business?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the main room was pushed open with a "bang".
"Who said I won't study anymore? Even if I go into business, beg for food, and starve to death, I will never let my sister marry someone else and support me! Only a shameless person would do such a shameless thing!"
Song Lan strode in and raised his hand to hold Song Ci's arm, "Xiao Ci doesn't want to get married, no one can make things difficult for her!"
He stood firmly beside Song Ci, with a protective attitude.
Feeling the warmth of her brother's palm on her arm, and the happiness of being cared for and protected by her family, Song Ci's eyes turned red.
It’s great to have the whole family here.
"You little beast! What are you reading! You've caused so much trouble, and you're still reading!" Old Mrs. Song picked up the bowl on the table and threw it at Song Lan without thinking. Fortunately, Song Lan dodged quickly and the bowl was not hit.
The exam is about to start. If Song Lan gets injured at this time, he will definitely be delayed for several years.
Song Laosan was covered in cold sweat.
On second thought, he suddenly remembered what Old Lady Song said. Causing trouble? It was true that Song Lan had caused trouble, and it had gotten into trouble with the Bai family, but he had never mentioned it in front of the Song family. How did Old Lady Song know about it?
Old Mrs. Song's chest heaved violently with anger.
Pointing at Song Lan, he was furious. "You little beast, if you could become an official, the ancestors of the Song family would be pissed to death. How can someone like you be worthy of studying and becoming an official?"
Song Lan was surprised by the intensity of Mrs. Song's reaction.
He was stunned for a moment before he sneered, "So my grandmother is so unwilling to let me study. It seems that even the ancestors of the Song family are not happy with my studies."
After being ridiculed by Song Lan, Old Lady Song didn't have time to get angry before she was stunned by Song Lao San's questions.
"Mom, how did you know that Lan'er was causing trouble outside?"
Old Mrs. Song didn't even think about it and blurted out, "Isn't this the boss..."
"mother!"
Boss Song was almost mad with anger. Why did his mother tell everyone everything?
After realizing it belatedly, Old Lady Song quickly changed her story, "I only heard it from others. Why, you did something shameful and you're afraid of what others will say!"
Song Lan said in a cold tone, "Are you still my grandmother? I was framed and slandered behind my back, and not only did you not speak up for me, you even assumed that I was in the wrong."
"You didn't do anything wrong, how can anyone blame you! You're not cut out for studying. Just follow your father into business and stop overthinking. The Song Ci matter is settled. Bring her birthday present tomorrow and reunite with the Liang family..."
Old Mrs. Song was going to put an end to the matter with one blow. After all, she was the oldest in the family. Could Old Third Song really dare not listen to her as his mother?
"No. Song Ci will not marry." Song Lao San's voice was not loud, but his tone was firm.
"Third brother, what should I do? The Liang family is my superior..."
Boss Song still wanted to use this incident as a threat, but the third brother Song had already seen through his true colors and was not fooled at all.
"This is your business, big brother. You privately agreed with the Liang family and wanted to secretly sell your niece. You should take responsibility for what you did."
Boss Song was speechless and looked grim.
Seeing things turn out like this, Li Yao was displeased: "Third brother, are you really going to piss me off to death? After all the hard work your eldest brother has put in, you're just going to watch his future ruined?"
"Why am I so unlucky to have such a son? Oh, not only can he not help the family, but he is also unfilial and disobedient to me. He is ruining his brother's future. What sin has our Song family committed..."
Li Yao's words immediately woke up Old Lady Song. She sat down on the ground, slapped her thighs and cried.
Although it is crude and indecent, this method is the most direct.
Song Laosan has always been filial. Seeing his own mother crying like this, he certainly couldn't sit still.
Everyone was waiting for Song Lao San to agree to the marriage. Song Ci also looked at his father with burning eyes, but his eyes were full of trust.
She believed in her father. He loved her and would not bear to see her thrown into this fire.
"Mom, I've been filial to you for many years, but this time..."
"Just consider it as your son's unfilial behavior. Song Ci cannot marry. Her lifelong happiness cannot be paved for the eldest brother. In the past, you let your son not study and make money through business so that the eldest and second brothers can continue to study. My son accepted it. His life has been like this, but my children cannot continue like this..."
"My son wants them to hold their heads high and behave themselves."
After Song Laosan finished speaking, he took Qiao Xianglan's hand, and Song Lan took his sister's hand. The family turned around and left without paying attention to the howling of ghosts and wolves behind them.
Old Mrs. Song was stunned by these words and her eyes couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Boss Song pushed the table in a very corrupt manner, and the food and spoon spilled all over the floor. She turned around and heard Boss Song's furious roar in her ears.
"If the people from the Third House are shameless, don't blame us for being ruthless. The Liang family has set their sights on Song Ci. Even if she runs away to the ends of the earth, someone will take care of her!"
...
For several days in a row, no matter who came from the first or main wife's house, Song Lao San would refuse to see them.
The atmosphere in the Song family dropped to freezing point.
Song Ci looked at her father, whose eyes were lost and numb, and stepped forward to pull his sleeve, "Dad."
One word, the tone contained a deep worry.
Song Lao San turned around, met his daughter's concerned face, and forced a smile, "Dad is fine, it's all my fault for being incompetent. Otherwise, they wouldn't have plotted against you and your eldest brother."
He has also turned around in the past few days. Old Lady Song’s excuse is almost enough to fool a fool.
Song Lan was set up by someone. This was obviously a setup, and it was obviously closely related to the first wife.
His yearning and concern for home and blood ties in his mind were gradually collapsing.
