Chapter 036: The Conceited Court
Song Er is a scholar, so he naturally knows what benevolence, righteousness and morality are.
It was this benevolent heart that made him endure the incident back then, until now.
But now it's different, when I know that my son has this kind of mind, everything is different.
He had read books and naturally knew the benefits of reading.
It was the regret of his life to give up halfway, but it did not mean that the fire in his heart had been extinguished.
That year, he vowed not to go to school or take scientific examinations again, but when he saw his son's poems and articles, the fire in his heart had found a new direction and shifted to Song Tian.
That is his expectation, the expectation of continuing his ideals and ambitions.
In fact, he has always known that his son is smart, he spoke earlier than others when he was young, he has a high understanding, he can read quickly, and he usually looks like he doesn't care about being serious, but he can answer the questions he asks.
In the past, Song Ercai also had thoughts about his son, but Song Tian was still young, and his temperament was arrogant, so he originally wanted to slow down.
But this time, he didn't do anything, and his son actually ignited his desire to study, and he had no reason to wait any longer.
Separation is a taboo topic for families with both parents, and it will be said that it is unfilial.
Especially the current Song family, the economic pillar is all on Song Ercai, no one has ever thought about splitting up, and no one wants to split up.
"Second child, what did you say? Say it again. ”
Hong was incredulous, his hands shaking.
But the old man Song froze on the throne like a statue of zun clay, and he heard that his son was going to split up.
"Mother, sending a baby to the town to study is not an overnight thing, today we are talking about Brother Tian, next time it may be Brother Ming, Brother Kang, or those juniors who have not yet been born from grandchildren. It is better to divide the family early than to quarrel with these things the next time, and each house and each household will bear its own responsibility. ”
"Second brother, you said this easily, knowing that the family is now relying on your salary in the town, and you want to divide the family, do you want to force us to death?"
Hong's was angry and cried, he couldn't imagine that his second son had such the courage to mention the separation, wouldn't he be afraid of being poked in the back?
Song Dacai was also stunned, and it took a while to come back to his senses and catch Hong's words.
"Song Ercai, do you have a little conscience? Just for your son to study, regardless of your father and mother's separation! ”
Song Dacai is rigid but still filial, and the whole family has been reading books for so many years with the second child, is it for the white-eyed wolf? If you can earn money, you have to divide the family.
Facing the eldest brother's questioning, Song Ercai still looked so gentle.
"Big brother, the purpose of separating the family is to make everyone's life better and plan for the juniors. I didn't say that regardless of my father and mother, even if the family is separated, how filial piety should be and how filial piety, there is no reason not to recognize everyone. ”
"That's easy to say, the so-called junior, that is, your own son."
Zhou was also so angry that he was about to vomit blood, and at the same time, a chill arose in his heart.
The son went to the town to study, but he was counting on the second child's one or two silver coins, if the family was divided, wouldn't it be cut off Brother Hong'er's way.
This family can't be divided, absolutely can't be divided.
"Old man, you have something to say, and you don't care about him?"
Hong was so anxious that she wanted to jump to her feet, in the past, she just didn't like Song Tian, who ruined her face, and Chang, who spoke with thorns, but now she even hates her son.
Selfish, for the sake of his own family, the second child is too selfish.
Whether this family is divided or not, in the end, it is still the old man Song who has the final say.
It's just that he was helpless and sad at this time, turned his head to look at his three sons, and suddenly thought of when they were young.
The eldest son is generous, and he does not like to study, but he likes to serve the land with him.
The second son was smart when he was a child, but he was also a child, and he won glory for the family.
As for the third child, he doesn't show anything he does, he likes to be a little smart, and he hasn't made any mistakes without any creation.
Let's talk about the two daughters, the eldest daughter is married far away, and it is rare to go back once a year, and the life of the in-law's family is not good, and I like to play the autumn breeze when I come, and I guess there is no hope in the future.
He didn't talk about the youngest daughter, he didn't give birth to that child.
When he was young, Mr. Song, like his children and grandchildren, actually went to school.
To say that his parents also fought too much because of their children and grandchildren's schooling, but they didn't have the material to study, and they couldn't make any big waves.
But no matter how many complaints, how many quarrels, everyone came over like this, whoever wants to have some signs of studying, every house and household will be close to him first, and he has never made a fuss because of this matter.
There was a wry smile on the corner of Old Man Song's mouth, since his ancestors had been here like this for generations, there was no reason why it would be different when he was in charge.
Old Man Song took out the dry tobacco from his cloth pocket again, wrapped it and lit it, and said with two sips: "Ercai, since you said that you are conceited and really divided the family, when Brother Hong is in the middle of the house, don't blame him for not pulling his brother." ”
Song Ercai didn't speak, and Chang sneered: "Dad, don't worry, Brother Hong is developed, and if he recognizes me as an aunt, I will call him a nephew." If he thinks the second room is poor and wipes his face, I don't know him, and I will walk around when he returns to his hometown to worship his ancestors in the future. ”
This was said ruthlessly, and Zhou said hypocritically: "The second one, you are serious." Brother Hong really has that day, but he is not the kind of ungrateful person, what others do to him, he will do to others. ”
"Yes, sister-in-law, not everything is like this."
The two were about to quarrel again.
The old man Song on the main seat only felt bored, and shouted with a look at his eyes: "For such a big matter as the separation of the family, when will it be the mother-in-law's turn to intervene!" ”
The old man Song was very angry for a long time, and when he roared, the two of them didn't dare to say it again.
But Hong heard a little taste, turned his head and grabbed Old Man Song's arm: "Old man, do you really want to?" ”
If you really split up, Brother Hong will be finished.
Old Man Song didn't bother to pay attention to her, and shook his hand fiercely, not even giving Hong's face.
If you want to say that Old Man Song's temperament is actually a little dull, whether he is at home or outside, he is not the kind of person who talks a lot.
But if he gets angry, he will be tough and arrogant.
"Did I say separation? I'm still in charge of this family, you shut my mouth first. ”
Old Man Song slammed the table, and the people in the room were instantly bottomless, only Song Er was relieved and his face was sad.
For a moment, there was a smell of needles falling in the room.
Old Man Song took two more puffs of dry tobacco and said to himself: "I am your father, in front of the head of the family, but I also know that this family is composed of several people. You are all older, you have a family, you have your own ideas, but the matter of splitting up the family ......" He turned his head to look at Song Ercai, "Dad is not trying to force you, I definitely don't want to divide it, even if it is divided, it is your room alone, after all, you are the only one who mentions it, and if you don't mention it, I don't have this mind." ”
"Let's talk about dividing the family, it's everyone's industry that moves, I don't count one of them, the people in the three rooms have put forward their opinions, if there are two rooms that agree with you, this one will be divided, if you don't agree with ......."
Old Man Song paused with his hand holding the cigarette stick: "Second brother, what others can do, you don't have to embarrass everyone anymore, first put the old family's confession out, and then talk about it later." ”
