Chapter 683: Showing Off at First Sight

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 words. It was up to the Song family and her husband to do the rest.

A family of three were sitting in the main room. Except for Hu Zi, who was having fun, the other three were deep in thought.

Ripple 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. With the help of the government servants, it was beyond Ripple's expectation. 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 collecting debts, 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 fainted. I have to go and take a look. It's one thing if I don't know. If I find out and don't take a look, people will tell me about it."

Song Dachuan's voice sounded, obviously telling his mother his decision.

"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."

Song Dachuan immediately objected.

Ripple thought for a while and said:

"Dad, if you go this time, you'd better call the village chief or an elder in the clan, take five taels of silver, and hand it over to me personally."

After hearing what Ripple said, the couple both looked at Ripple, obviously not expecting her to say that.

"Our family has only saved six taels of silver so far. I need to give all this to your father. If something happens, we don't even have any emergency money."

It's not that Zhang Huiniang doesn't agree to give, it's just that she doesn't want to give so much.

Obviously Song Dachuan thought so too. He nodded and said:

"Your mother is right. I only need one tael of silver. I also need to 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 the trouble is not caused by me." , as long as it comes to your mind."

After listening to this, Lianyi felt that Song Dachuan was a man of understanding. Although he was filial to the elderly, he was not foolishly filial. He would consider his own small family and his children, and he would do his best when making decisions, not to slap someone in the face. Being fat.

"Dad, I have money here. I have to give you this money. Please listen to me first and explain the reason."

Ripple said with a smile.

"Girl, tell me."

"I heard what Aunt Meng said just now. The house was turned upside down and everything that could be looted was taken away. This must include the uncle's family. The spring planting has just begun, and the food in the ground has not grown. They eat What to drink?

My uncle got into trouble and went into hiding, but the government officials came to visit. Who in Songjia Village would lend them money to survive? The eldest brother's family is too embarrassed to come to our house. After all, he is the eldest brother, and 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 be on my side?

Farmers work hard in the soil. How much money can be saved in a year can be understood with a little calculation. In addition, our family still has tigers to take care of. Five taels of silver is our family's entire property. Send it to Grandma’s hands are already the greatest filial piety.

No matter how filial you are, you can't let your wife and children starve to death for your grandparents, so if you give me this amount of money, the villagers will know that you have drained the family fortune.

Doing it in front of the village chief and the people of Songjia Village not only shows that you still respect the elderly after the separation, but also prevents them from asking our family for money again. Even if grandma wants to borrow money from our family, they don't have the face. , I guess I was rushed away by the villagers before I even reached the door of our house.

When the money arrives, 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 the 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 document that my father has left the house without having to pay for his retirement, if our family is far better off than my grandma’s family, there will definitely be people making irresponsible remarks behind my back, saying that my dad enjoys a good life and drinks spicy food, but does not care about my grandma. In life and death, people always favor the weak side. "

After listening to what Lianyi said, Song Dachuan nodded, thinking that his daughter was right.

Hui Niang smiled and said:

"Our Lianyi is still smart. Although it is difficult to work in the Dong Mansion, he has gained experience."

Ripple smiled, then went into the bedroom and took out a three taels of solid silver hairpin and two taels of broken silver. At first glance, it was something the master would reward.

"Dad, take these to grandma!"

"Lianyi, please keep that silver hairpin. I think it's a new style. I'll leave it to you as a dowry. The rest of the money can be used by the family."

Zhang Huiniang said immediately, and Song Dachuan also agreed.

"Father, mother, this silver hairpin is indispensable. It proves that you even used the dowry you saved for me and you really didn't hide anything. Only in this way can you win people's trust."

Lianyi said with a smile, she was always cautious in doing things and never left any tail for herself.

"Lianyi is right. Let's save some money. When the harvest is done 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 and her walking legs were a little weak. She was still supported by Ripple, and she managed to stand up straight.

Lianyi glanced at it and knew what these people wanted to do. He immediately stepped forward and bowed politely before asking:

"My lords, I wonder why you came to my little girl's house?"

The leading Yao family member glanced at Lianyi and felt that 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 my grandma. I heard that my uncle was unfilial and owed money and was hiding. Someone came to my door to demand the debt. My father 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 it specially."

"Hmph! The little mouth can tell, we are here to collect debts."

The leader of the Yao family said displeasedly.

"Your Majesty, 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 it back, but he still stole something. We suspect that he left it at your house, so we want to search your house."

"I see, then please let me search it!"

See you tomorrow, babies~
