husband and wife

Chapter 172

Song's mother was not worried about her grandson, but she ate a lot of salt and was more knowledgeable than the two eldest daughters-in-law. Look, this is the real studious person. Xu Juren, who came to visit this time, heard that his younger siblings said that they had to read for a long time before going to bed before turning off the lights. If no one was watching, they would not read. Admitted to Juren at a young age?So Song's mother didn't know about her daughter-in-law's worries, so she probably laughed and scolded her for being ignorant when she knew about it.Song's mother wished that Ziheng's daughter-in-law would not go back to the county, at least wait until Ziheng brought back the news, and with her help to listen, she could decide whether the Xu family was a good match for the younger sister.Besides, 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 might feel relieved if she didn't listen to her personally.

Not to mention the unspoken thoughts of everyone in the Song family, Song Ziheng was blocked by Xu Yongfang's enthusiastic brother and sister-in-law in the Xu family day after day.Song's mother regarded Xu Yongfang as a future son-in-law. This time when he returned home, she prepared a lot of congratulatory gifts, including food for the family, fruits and vegetables from the fields, unfinished chicken, duck, pork, and eggs from neighbors. She also generously hugged a jar of nearly two catties of wine and asked Song Ziheng to bring it to the Xu family. She was not even willing to let them drink it when her own family came.

The Song family is very polite, Xu Jiayue treats Xu Yongfang sincerely when he treats Song Ziheng, and naturally he is even more enthusiastic, and Xu Yongfang can have such a temperament, the Xu family's elder brother is actually not much worse, even the Xu family's sister-in-law is so sincere, Song Ziheng feels that this It was a worthwhile trip.In fact, the Xu family is more prosperous than the Song family. Xu Yongfang has four or five older brothers, but their parents are gone, and they separated before they died. The property was handed over to Boss Xu for safekeeping, and the old house was given to Boss. It seemed that he was partial to Boss, but in fact he just hoped that their husband and wife would take better care of Xu Yongfang.Mrs. Xu is a solid-minded woman who regards the words of the old man before her death as an imperial decree. The whole family supports her uncle to study without any complaints. They stared away, and they didn't even have a place to complain. Even if they endured it, they wanted to instigate their husbands to ignore the affairs of the boss's family in the future. Although Xu Yongfang's other brothers were not instigated by his wife, their relationship was solid. It's really far away, and I only regard my elder brother and sister-in-law as parents.

The relationship between the Xu family, Song Ziheng was popularized by Xu Yongfang before he came. At that time, he thought that it would be difficult for the younger sister to marry. How good it would be, the only sister-in-law who treats him sincerely is like a mother-in-law to his wife, she has to be listened to and respected, this relationship is really hard to think about.

It was only when he arrived at Xu's house 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 their hometown. On weekdays, he hired a woman to cook for himself and his students. After opening a private school for several years and adding the money from his brother and sister-in-law's work, he could barely make up enough for the exam, but he had no money to enter next year. The Beijing exam is over, and Xu Yongfang plans to wait another three years to collect enough money before going. The private school can no longer be closed. He is now a juren, and he is the youngest juren this year. The county magistrate praised him before going to the Luming meeting. It has spread throughout the county. With this reputation, many people are willing to send their children to study here. He will double the size of the private school, and after three years he will be able to earn enough money to go to Beijing. After the sister-in-law rested, she was no longer so tired to do work for him.

Song Ziheng has already regarded Xu Yongfang as his brother-in-law, and seeing that he has ideas and responsibilities, he is very relieved. In the future, when my younger sister marries and lives with him in the county, even if it is a bit poor, it will be fine. My younger sister can endure hardships. As long as Brother Yongfang treats her well, life will always be fine.

Song Ziheng made up his mind, and in the past few days, he asked Mr. Xu what he thought about Xu Yongfang's marriage. He also euphemistically hinted that he had a sister who was virtuous and capable. Mr. Xu didn't think much about it. In a word, Mrs. Xu is a woman after all, with a delicate mind, thinking that if this Song Juren was not a good-looking uncle, she would not be so concerned about his marriage, and even mentioned her own sister, I am afraid that she has some thoughts.
