Chapter 349 How was my performance just now?
Song Shu's mood at this moment was completely different from when he was on the way here!
When he came here, he was thinking about hiding his status and wealth. He couldn't be too indifferent so as not to get intel from others, nor too close so as to allow random people to get involved.
Is she thinking that her daughter's in-laws are not up to the standard, so she has to kowtow to him when she sees him? In order to get close to him and live a good life, she has to do whatever he says;
But for some reason, after listening to the chattering of the women in this room, he naturally transformed himself into the "father-in-law" and "family member".
Yes, his daughter has no status in her husband's family. He wants his daughter to live a good life. Not only can he not act tyrannically, but he also has to be gentle and polite and not add to the conflicts.
His daughter gave birth to two daughters in a row. Would her husband's family be happy about it? If it were him when he was younger, he would definitely not be happy about it either.
If he continued to make them bow down, the best outcome would be divorce.
He had money to support her if they divorced, but would Ah Bing be willing? Leaving her husband, letting her two daughters leave their father, and marrying again with her two children, what kind of family would she marry into?
If she doesn't marry again, won't Ah Bing be a lifelong widow? She'll spend the rest of her life being judged by everyone around her...
At this moment, Song Shu finally understood why his father-in-law and mother-in-law, knowing his involvement before their exile, still thought of a way out for Huo Qinglin to stay in the Song family.
For a woman, especially a woman with children, living alone with her children is wrong no matter what choice she makes. It is not accepted by the world and she will be pointed at and criticized by others!
He actually understood their difficult situation at that time, but he didn't care and even hoped that their situation would be even more difficult.
But now that he was in this situation, he realized how passive and painful it was!
"Master~"
I heard an overly sweet and tender cry from behind me. In the first few years, just listening to him would make me hard. At that time, I enjoyed it and regarded it as extremely important.
As I get older, every time I hear it, I just feel pressured and unmotivated. Sometimes, when I look at that wrinkled and dry face, and listen to the sweet and artificial shouting, I feel only annoyance.
He was extremely irritated and shouted in a low voice: "Talk properly outside!"
Being a maid, she is not presentable and doesn't know how to consider the occasion.
After being scolded, Qiu Yi bit her lower lip unwillingly.
This village is not good for her!
Everything went smoothly in the city yesterday. She was able to turn the tide even against the odds, and nothing unexpected happened along the way. But she had just sat in the house for less than half an hour when she heard a group of ignorant, lowly and vulgar women shouting loudly. After she came out, the master no longer liked her.
No, to be precise, he just disliked her in the room and would glance back at her from time to time, with such a fierce look that he seemed to want to skin her alive!
She was secretly delighted to hear that Huo Bing was having a hard time, thinking that Song Shu would be so cruel as to give up this vulgar woman who was not presentable. However, she did not expect that he would let down his guard and walk towards Huo Bing's in-laws' house with even more eagerness.
What is going on?
Didn't the women in the room say a single good word to Huo Bing just now? Why did the master's attitude change?
Everyone in the house crowded in the yard outside the door, watching Song Shu and his men walk away. After crossing the bridge and no longer seeing their backs, the smiles on their faces quickly disappeared.
Granny Qin cursed, "Bah! He just knew to shake off the snot when it hit his mouth!"
"Didn't you see that he still brought the person with him? It doesn't seem like he knows he's dumping her. It's obvious that he's enjoying it and wants everything." Jiang Ying curled her lips and said with disdain.
Zhao Mingyue snorted, "You've been indifferent for years, and now you finally have some news, and you still bother to come here to inquire? You say you're calm and composed, but in the end, you still don't take it seriously."
Anyway, if it were her words, her daughter had been separated for many years, and they finally met. She had been crying so hard that she couldn't care about anything else and just wanted to see her first!
I don’t even have time to feel sad, how can I have the energy to think about anything else?
"I now understand why the old saying goes, 'I'd rather have a mother who begs for food than a father who is an official.' By the way, how was my performance just now?
Did you show your sarcastic side? "Zhou Yan asked nervously, changing the subject.
The other women around them also became nervous. "You're right. I'm just worried that I'll be a hindrance."
"You all said it right. I said Huo Bing was going to compete with the sisters-in-law for the mother-in-law's favor. When I thought about Guan Li and Shen Qing, I wanted to laugh, but I forced myself to hold it back! Oh, it's so difficult. I won't come next time. This job is not that easy to do."
"You're not so bad. I'm talking about Ah Bing circling around Xiang Dong, as if she can't live without him. Oh, it really gives me goose bumps! It's clearly Ah Bing circling around Shen Qing, isn't it?"
"Don't even mention Ah Bing, even we all revolve around Shen Qing, and it's more appropriate to say that we can't live without Shen Qing~"
"You guys are amazing! Luckily I'm in the next room. What if I had gone in and been caught?"
"It's okay. If you can't say it, just say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. That's me!"
There are women who are proud to pass on their experience.
The corners of Jiang Erye's tightly pursed lips lifted unconsciously, and he interrupted helplessly: "Alright, leave a few people outside to observe their movements at any time, and the rest of you go into the house to warm up."
The hard job of staying outside in the cold wind naturally fell to the men, but since there were more people, it was easier to take turns, so the job wasn't that hard.
The women went into the house chatting and laughing, while the men stayed outside in groups to check.

"Auntie, come out quickly! Someone is coming from your eldest daughter-in-law's family~" A loud shout rang out, and Zhao Xiaogou ran and shouted while leading people into the house.
His enthusiasm and thoughtfulness made Song Shu and Shunshun feel embarrassed.
I have to say that the country people are very enthusiastic. They led the way in this cold weather without fear of cold or fatigue. He was also wary of them from the beginning, fearing that they would establish a relationship with him.
And even though the woman in the room had spoken harshly, she was actually telling the truth, and each one was based on Ah Bing's situation...
I guess Ah Bing's mother-in-law and sisters-in-law are both sarcastic and hard to get along with...
Song Shu looked up at the entire courtyard.
The Siheyuan not only has a main house, but also two side rooms to the east and west. The area around the courtyard is covered with a roof to protect it from rain and becomes a firewood room for storing firewood.
The firewood inside was neatly stacked, and the enclosed yard was large and very clean and tidy, looking very refreshing.
The most important thing is that all you can see are bricks and tiles!
You know, there are still many poor families living in adobe houses in the city, but here in the mountains there is an entire courtyard made of bricks and tiles! This must be a wealthy family, at least it proves that they are not stupid or lazy.
"Puppy, who did you say is here? Are you sure?" Guan Li lifted the heavy leather door curtain and walked out.
Squinting his eyes, he saw a group of people in the yard, a big smile appeared on his face, and he greeted them, "Hey, come in and sit down!"
She turned around and shouted towards the house: "Mom, there are guests! It's an honored guest, hurry up and get ready~"
