Chapter 172

Song's mother was not worried about her grandson, but she ate more salt than her two eldest daughter-in-law. She raised a juren's son. When her son was studying, she didn't have to stare at her. When she had time, she took a book to read. This is the real person who is really interested in learning. Xu Juren, who came to her house this time, heard that her younger brother and sister said that she would have to read books for a long time before going to turn off the lights every night. If no one was watching, she would not read books. Could they still be admitted to the juren at such a young age? Therefore, Song's mother didn't know the burden of her daughter-in-law.

When she knew about it, she would laugh and scold her for being inexplicable. A few children followed their uncle and would never be willing to make progress. Song's mother wanted Ziheng's wife not to go back to the county first, at least wait for Ziheng to bring the news back. She would help her listen and determine whether the Xu family was a good match for the younger sister. Moreover, Song's mother felt that Su Wan was probably not in a hurry to go back to the county because of this. She had a good relationship with her younger sister, and she would be afraid that she would not be relieved if she didn't listen to it personally.

Not to mention the thoughts of everyone in the Song family, Song Ziheng was stopped by Xu Yongfang's enthusiastic brother and sister-in-law for a day and a day. Song's mother treated Xu Yongfang as her future son-in-law. This time when he returned to his hometown, she prepared a lot of congratulations, including food from her family, fruits and vegetables from the fields, unfinished chicken, duck, pork, and eggs from the neighbors. She generously carried a jar of nearly two kilograms of wine and asked Song Ziheng to take it to the Xu family. She didn't even want to let them drink the people from her own family. Two kilograms are just three taels of silver. It can be seen that Song's mother was bleeding this time.

The Song family followed the courtesy. Xu Jiayue treated Song Ziheng sincerely, so he was more enthusiastic. Moreover, Xu Yongfang could have such a temperament. The eldest brother of the Xu family was not much different. Even the eldest sister-in-law of the Xu family was so honest. Song Ziheng felt that this trip was worth it. In fact, Xu family members were more than Song Jiawang. Xu Yongfang had four or five brothers, but their parents were gone. They separated the family before they died. Xu Yongfang didn't even decide to get married. The other brothers got married early, so his parents handed over his property to Boss Xu to keep. In addition, he gave the old house to the boss, which looked partial.

The eldest brother actually just hopes that the couple can take care of Xu Yongfang more. Xu's sister-in-law is a honest person and treats the old man's words as an imperial edict. The family has no complaints to support her uncle in school. Seeing that her parents-in-law are so partial, they quit. After the father-in-law split the family, they glared at each other, and there was no place to complain. Even if they tolerate it, they would instigate their husbands to not care about the eldest family's affairs in the future. Although Xu Yongfang's other brothers were not instigated by his wife, their relationship was really far away and they only regarded their elder brother and sister-in-law as their parents.

Song Ziheng was popularized by Xu Yongfang before he came. At that time, he thought that it would be difficult for a younger sister to marry her. The sister-in-law above all had objections to Yongfang, and they were afraid that he would not be very good for his wife. The only sister-in-law who treated him sincerely was a similar mother-in-law to his wife. He had to listen and respect her. This relationship was really hard to think about.

It was only when he arrived at the Xu family that Song Ziheng felt relieved. It turned out that Xu Yongfang lived in the county on weekdays. He rented a yard and opened a school to teach. His brother and sister-in-law couldn't leave his hometown. He only sent grain to the county after a few months. He hired an old lady to cook for himself and the students. He had opened a private school for several years, and with the money from his brother and sister-in-law to work, he had barely raised enough money to take the exam. However, he had no money to go to Beijing for the exam next year. Xu Yongfang planned to wait three years to make up enough money before going to the private school. He is now a juren and is the youngest juren in the autumn examination. Before going to the Luming meeting, he praised him, but he was afraid that the county would spread all over the county and had this reputation. There were probably many people who were willing to send their children to study here. He doubled the private school and could make money to enter Beijing in three years. In this way, he could also let his brother and sister-in-law rest, which was no longer as tired as he would provide him with work.

Song Ziheng had already regarded Xu Yongfang as his brother-in-law. Seeing that he had ideas and responsibilities, he felt very relieved. In the future, my younger sister would marry him and live in the county with him. Even if she was more miserable, she would be fine. My younger sister was a hard-working person. As long as my younger brother Yongfang was kind to her, life would always be better.

Song Ziheng made up his mind and asked Boss Xu indirectly what he thought about Xu Yongfang’s marriage in the past few days. He also tactfully implied that he had a virtuous and capable girl in his family. Boss Xu didn’t think much about it, but just asked Sister Xu after returning to the house, after all, she was a woman and thoughtful. Thinking that if Juren Song was not a good-looking uncle, he would not care about his marriage so much. He also mentioned his own girl, so he was probably thinking.
