When Aunt Meng saw that Song Dachuan was back, she told the story of the old Song family again. When she heard that Mr. Song had fainted, Song Dachuan frowned.
After Aunt Meng finished speaking, she took her sewing kit and left. Anyway, she had brought her with her. It was up to the Song family and her husband to do the rest.
A family of three is sitting in the main room. Except for Hu Zi, who is having fun, the other three are deep in thought.
Lianyi knew very well who those people were and why they went to Song Dashan's house. It could be seen that the other party had not found anything, so he would definitely not give up. It was only a matter of time before he found the Song family. It was just that there were government servants assisting him, which was unexpected. Lianyi's expectations, but she felt relieved when she thought of the Dong family in Wangshan Town.
The Dong family must have contributed to this. Anyway, it is so far away from Beijing, so I am not afraid that Mr. Yao will find out. Besides, the other party is using the banner of debt collection, so it will not arouse others' suspicion.
But in this case, as Song Dashan's second brother, the other party would probably also suspect Song Dachuan. Although the two brothers were at odds, these people should not give up any clues.
"Dad has fainted. I have to go and have a look. Not knowing is one thing. If you know and don't look, others will tell you."
Song Dachuan's voice It sounded, obviously telling his mother his decision.
"Do you want me to go with you?"
Zhang Huiniang asked immediately.
"No, I'll go by myself. The spring planting has just ended, and you have to run into the fields every day to replant the fields that haven't sprouted. Her mother, Lianyi, doesn't want to see her, so she doesn't have to suffer the consequences."
< br>Song Dachuan immediately objected.
Lianyi thought for a while and then said:
“Dad, if you go this time, it’s best to ask the village chief or an elder in the clan, and then take five taels of silver and hand it over to me personally. In the hand."
After listening to Ripple's words, the couple looked at Ripple, obviously not expecting her to say that.
"Our family has only saved six taels of silver so far. I want to give all this to your father. If something happens, we don't have any emergency money."
It's not that Zhang Huiniang doesn't agree to give it, but she just doesn't want to give it that much. many.
Obviously Song Dachuan thought the same way. He nodded and said:
"Your mother is right. I will give you one tael of silver. I will also save a dowry for you. I can't Give it all to your father. Although I am his son, I am not his only son, and I am not the cause of the trouble. I just need to be considerate."
After hearing this, Lianyi felt that Song Dachuan was a man who could handle everything. Yes, although he is filial to the elderly, he is not foolishly filial. He will consider his own small family and his children, and make decisions to the best of his ability, rather than trying to make a fool of himself.
"Dad, I have money here. I have to give it to you. Please listen to me first and tell me the reason."
Lianyi said with a smile.
“Girl, tell me.”
“I just heard what Aunt Meng said. The house was turned upside down and everything that could be looted was taken away. There must be something inside. Including the uncle's family, the spring planting has just begun, and the food in the ground has not grown. What do they eat and drink?
The uncle got into trouble and went into hiding, but the government servants came to visit, who in Songjia Village would do it? Borrowing money for them? The eldest brother's family has no shame in coming to our house. After all, he is the eldest brother. There is no reason for a younger brother to support an older brother!
But grandpa and grandma are different. They are elders. You have been separated, but you are not divorced. Now that something like this happens in the family, if you don't express it, grandma will definitely encourage grandpa to live in our house, or force you to live in our house. You provide money to tide over the difficulties.
Since I have to give money no matter what, why can’t we take a higher stance and let everyone and public opinion stand on my side.
Farmers dig food in the soil. How much money can be saved in a year can be figured out with a little calculation. In addition, we have tigers to take care of, so the five taels of silver belong to our family. I have all my property, and it is the greatest filial piety to give it to my grandma.
No matter how filial you are, you cannot let your wife and children starve to death for your grandparents, so for this amount of money, the villagers will know that you have emptied the family fortune.
In front of the village chief and the people of Songjia Village, it not only shows that you still respect the elderly after the separation, but also prevents them from reaching out to our family for money again, even if grandma wants to borrow money from our family. , they didn’t have that face either, they probably were crowded away by the villagers before they even reached our door.
When the money is delivered, I will ask my mother to visit the house and let everyone know that in order to help the old Song family tide over the difficulties, all the money in the family was spent, and they even took advantage of the reward given to me by the second lady of the Dong family. This will also prevent people in the village from worrying about the things I brought home, and let everyone know about my father's filial piety. This can be regarded as the pension money my father gives to my grandparents.
Although it is stated in the family separation book that my father has left the family without any pension, but if our family’s life is much better than that of my grandparents’ family, there will definitely be people making irresponsible remarks behind our backs. Dad likes to drink spicy food, but he doesn't care about grandma's life or death. People always favor the weak side. "
After hearing such a long string of words from Lianyi, Song Dachuan nodded, thinking that his daughter was right.
Hui Niang said with a smile:
"Our family, Lianyi, is still smart. Although working in the Dong Mansion is difficult, she has gained experience."
Lianyi smiled, then entered the bedroom and took out a three-ounce solid silver hairpin and two more. The two taels of broken silver seemed to be a reward from the master's family.
"Dad, take these to grandma!"
"Lianyi, keep that silver hairpin. I think it is a new style and leave it to you for your dowry. The rest Just add the extra money from your family."
Zhang Huiniang said immediately, and Song Dachuan also agreed.
"Father, mother, this silver hairpin is indispensable. It proves that you have even used the dowry you saved for me, and you really have no secrets. Only in this way can you win people's trust."
Lianyi said with a smile. , she is always cautious in doing things and never leaves any tail for herself.
"Lianyi is right, let's save some money, and when the harvest is harvested this autumn, we can give my daughter a new silver hairpin to replace it."
Song Dachuan immediately agreed.
After the matter was discussed, the family happily had dinner, and Song Dachuan went out early the next morning.
When it was almost noon, Hui Niang and the other three did not wait to come back to Song Dachuan, but instead waited for the Yamen brought by the Yao family.
When Hui Niang saw the yamen servant, she felt panicked. Her walking legs were a little weak, but she was still supported by Ripple, and she managed to stand up straight.
With one glance, Lianyi knew what these people wanted to do. He immediately stepped forward and bowed politely, and then asked:
"My lords, I wonder why I came to my daughter's house?" What’s the matter?”
The leading Yao family glanced at Ripple and thought she knew the rules, so they asked directly:
"Is this the Song Dachuan family?"
"Exactly."
"Where are the others?"
"My father went to Songjiacun to visit his grandma. I heard that the little boy My unfilial uncle owed money and went into hiding. When someone came to ask for his debt, he was so angry that all the money in the family was used to pay off the debt. He didn’t even have money for medical treatment. Dad went to see him specially. "
"Hmph! The little mouth can tell, we are here to collect debts."
The leader of the Yao family said displeasedly.
"Master Rongzhen, our family has been separated for a long time. It's not my father's turn to pay my younger brother's debt!"
"It's not your turn to pay. But he also stole something. We suspect that he left it in your house, so we want to search your house."
"That's it, please search it, sir!"
Bao. See you tomorrow~
