Not long after leaving the village, the sky suddenly darkened, and soon, the scattered snowflakes fell, misty into the distance, and the earth was cold.

The carriage stopped at the door of the shop, and Lu Bao came out.

Ah Xiu got out of the car and patted a little snow particles that fell on her body, Du Juan and Du's mother came out with umbrellas and took everyone in.

That night, the shop also held a sumptuous New Year's dinner.

After dinner, Song Er called his son to the hall and tested the two articles he had recently studied in front of the books.

Song Tian replied fluently, and also expressed his views and opinions.

Song Ercai nodded, pointed to two places that were not thorough enough for him to ponder again, and quickly let his son go down.

"By the way, you call Ah Xiu over, I have something to talk to her about."

Song Tian responded, and when he returned to the room, he said to Ah Xiu, who was choosing patterns on the painting case: "Dad is looking for you." ”

Ah Xiu is holding more than a dozen patterns in his hand, all of which have been painted by Lu Wei in the past two days.

She nodded and quickly went out.

In the hall, Chang was pulling out the brazier, and when he saw Ah Xiu coming over and smiling at the little girl, he pulled her to sit next to him, and whispered: "Your father, I want to show you last year's account book." ”

No wonder Chang smiled so kindly, it turned out that he was happy when he read the account book.

Song Ercai coughed when he heard this, and then said to Chang's: "Siniang, you go outside to help take a look." ”

Song Er wanted to break her up, but Chang didn't hear it, squeezed his eyebrows and smiled: "I'll ask Du Juan to help take a look, and the co-authors are all my own people." ”

After making money in the embroidery workshop, Chang also wanted to pass on his emotions, and wanted to see how happy Ah Xiu was for a while.

"Go ahead, I have something I want to say."

Song Ercai insisted on his opinion, and Chang frowned, but he still went out quickly.

The door in the hall was half pulled aside, and Chang sat on the round stool next to him with his sleeves folded, guarding not to let people approach.

"Dad, what do you want to tell me?"

Even the Chang family was gone, and Ah Xiu felt that Song Ercai was not as simple as looking at the account book.

Song Ercai was not in a hurry, and first gave the account book on the table for Ah Xiu to see.

Half a year's accounts, from small needles and threads, to large purchases, and various expenses for the second room, including pocket money for the two children, each item is recorded.

This is not only a business account, but also a second-room person's family account.

The previous content Ah Xiu flipped through casually, and his gaze stayed on the back balance for a while.

In the past half a year's business, after removing the costs and a small amount of expenses, more than 1,200 taels of cash have been saved.

"For the last delivery a year ago, I have exchanged 1,000 taels of silver in the city for receipt, and the remaining cash is reserved for the operation and turnover of all parties after the beginning of the year."

Song Ercai said and took out a small purse from his arms.

"The silver ticket inside is five hundred taels, and the deed of sale when you entered the door, you can keep it together."

"Daddy?"

Ah Xiu was a little confused, what is Song Ercai going to do?

Song Ercai continued to explain: "The silver is our family's silver, I plan to save it every six months, and then divide it into two, one for my Song family, and one for your private ownership, do you think it's appropriate?" If there is any disagreement, it can be raised now. ”

Song Ercai was still asking her opinion, Ah Xiu's heart was shocked, and she asked with some disbelief: "Dad, are you going to drive me out of the house?" ”

If not, how would he feel about selling his deed to share half of his silver?

"That's not what I meant." Song Ercai said slowly: "When you came, the second room of my Song family was empty, and it took less than a year, but now I have established a family business and have a slight income." Many times I asked myself, if it weren't for you, these things would not have been done, we would not have been able to open a shop, we would not have been able to run an embroidery workshop, and Brother Tian would not have been able to go to the town school. ”

"Dad knows that you entered the door as an adoptive daughter-in-law, but I also know that you originally had a family, a name and a surname, and maybe you have your own ideas and wishes to be achieved."

"Dad is not so selfish, he doesn't want to detain you in this small town, in this small mansion in the second room, and he doesn't want you to be burdened with responsibilities, and he feels pressured, and he feels that he has to marry Brother Tian."

"As long as you want, whether you stay or go, it's your freedom. If you stay, this is your home, me, your mother, Brother Tian, everyone is your relatives. If you have a desire to go away, I will not stop you wherever you are. Looking back on him, if you still think about this, the door of the second room of the Song family will always be open to you. ”

Song Ercai pulled out the brazier, his voice was low and hoarse, refreshing his lungs.

Since listening to the little news that Tong Wencheng revealed to him last time, Song Er was very sure that the little girl in front of him was not surnamed Fang, but surnamed Zhuo.

Why she was incognito, and whether the ancestors of her family really made mistakes and were taken out of the house, he is still not sure, but Song Ercai saw in her everyone's demeanor and age-inappropriate strategies, as well as many secrets hidden in her heart.

He had a hunch that the little girl's ambition was not here.

Ah Xiu listened, and somehow tears slipped down.

She took out the embroidered handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes, and smiled at Song Ercai: "Dad, don't say this again, I am willing to marry Brother Tian and help this family." ”

Helping them is helping herself, her purpose is revenge, in the final analysis, she pulled the family into the quagmire and fire and water, thinking that Song Tian would avenge her family in the future, she promised herself, why not.

Ah Xiu's answer surprised Song Ercai, he smiled lightly and nodded, seeing Ah Xiu push the purse over, open it and take out the deed of sale inside and throw it into the brazier.

No matter what happens in the future, Ah Xiu is already free in the Song family.

Out of the hall, Ah Xiu's eyes were still red.

Chang Shi stood up from the round stool, and said to Ah Xiu with a smile: "If you want to buy anything in the future, just tell your mother." ”

Obviously, she didn't hear what Song Ercai said just now, and she didn't know what her husband was thinking.

"Mother, I know."

Ah Xiu smiled and said, Chang Shi saw that her eyes were red, and asked in surprise: "What are you doing, Erlang bullied you?" ”

Chang frowned, obviously unhappy.

Ah Xiu hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Mother, how could it be." It's just that I just thought of my mother, and I felt some feelings in my heart. ”

She lied, Chang touched the top of the little girl's hair, and sighed: "Don't think about it, your mother is in the spirit of heaven, and she will be relieved to see that you can live a good life." ”

Ah Xiu nodded, her relatives will be relieved that her life is gone, but she can't look at it yet.

Seeing the little girl leave, Chang pushed the door and entered the hall.

"What did you say to Ah Xiu just now, it made people's eyes red."

Chang was still a little worried, Song Ercai was cleaning up those things on the table, and said with a smile: "What can it be?" After looking at the account and gossiping casually, the little girl remembered her own mother, and was a little sad that she had not lived a good life nowadays. ”

Just now, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were at the door, and Song Er didn't know what they said, so they mentioned it and hid the original matter.
