Chapter 14: Brother
Although Mama Zhang's words were respectful, her back was straight, her voice was cold, and even with a stern look, and she didn't have the attitude that her subordinates should have when talking to their masters.
Song Shaohuan didn't move, "Mother, I don't agree not to withdraw from the family, Sister Chi'er's future can't be dragged on like this, after retreating, even if you can't find someone equivalent to the Xu family, it doesn't matter, we can find an ordinary family, as long as you can eat and dress warmly, and the character and ability of the future life itself is good, this is enough, I think Sister Chi herself is also willing." ”
Old Madam Song scoffed at his words, and did not respond to him, but just glanced at Mama Zhang, the wrinkles on Mama Zhang's face that were almost carved moved violently, stretched out a hand to "hold" Song Shaoyan, and said in a calm and almost rigid voice: "Master, the old slave helped you out."
Saying that, he didn't wait for Song Shaoyan to react, "helped" Song Shaoyan and walked out, Song Shaoyan wanted to fix his feet, but his strength as a seven-foot man was not as big as that of an old and thin grandmother, he was almost dragged out by Mama Zhang.
When Song Shaoyan returned to Mingxuan's residence, Song Anming, Qiao's and Song Xiaochi did not leave, only Song Junmao was lying on Fang's bed, with a shy little belly, and was falling asleep.
"The eldest master is back."
With the announcement of the big girl Pearl beside Fang's side, Fang's, Song Anming, Qiao's, and Song Xiaochi in the house hurriedly stood up, Song Anming, Qiao's, and Song Xiaochi hurriedly saluted Song Shaoyan, Song Shaoyan walked to Fang's side and sat down with a calm face, and then nodded to the children who saluted him and motioned for them to sit down.
Fang's also sat down, and the pearl served tea, and Fang's took it with his own hands and gave the tea to Song Shaoyan, "Master, drink tea!" ”
Song Shaoyan took the tea and took a sip gently, then he let out a long sigh, he put down the teacup, looked at Song Xiaochi, and felt a little guilty, "Sister Chi, you and the Xu family's family ...... relationship"
Song Shaoyan paused, a little hesitant.
"Dad, just say it, I'm fine." Song Xiaochi saw that Song Shaoyan was embarrassed, so he spoke up.
Song Anming had also heard Fang's and Qiao's talk about what happened today, and guessed that Song Shaoyan was called to Rongsong Courtyard for dinner, which must have been for the relationship between Song Xiaochi and the second son of the Xu family, and now seeing his father's expression, he couldn't help asking: "Dad, could it be that my grandfather and grandmother don't agree to quit the family?"
Song Shaoyan nodded, "They don't agree, saying that once they withdraw from their relatives, not only will they affect the relatives of other girls in the Song family, but it will also be difficult for Sister Chi to find a family affair that is on par with the Xu family." ”
"What is the reason for this? Other girls, for the sake of others, don't they care about their sister's future, and what kind of relatives are they looking for to be on par with the Xu family?
It's better if the Xu family's family business is gone, it's not that Xu Liyao I haven't seen it, there is no difference between fat and pigs, fat is fat, if he has a good character, he can be compromised, I used to think he was dull and honest like a fool, but now it's okay, don't be a fool, just mess with flowers and grass outside, such a person, what are you waiting for if you don't quit your family, and let your sister wait for him for three or five years or even a lifetime?
They Xu family don't look at how big their faces are! Don't say that we don't wait, even if the fat man is willing to marry now, my sister can't marry him. ”
Since listening to Fang's and Qiao's talk about Mrs. Xu's coming to the door today, Song Anming has been holding back his stomach and pressing hard, thinking that the Xu family is so bullying, the Song family still has a little backbone, and the waist pole is not so powerful, so he should immediately withdraw from this family business.
Since he quit his family, although he was angry, he thought that he would not have a brother-in-law like Xu Liyao in the future, who he really couldn't look down on, he felt that his anger could still be slowly absorbed and digested.
But now when he heard Song Shaoyan say that the old uncle and Mrs. Song were unwilling to withdraw from their relatives, he couldn't suppress the anger that had accumulated all night, and the crackling roar was a roar, and his voice involuntarily amplified a lot.
Song Xiaochi sometimes feels strange, Song Shaoyan and Fang's are both forbearant and slightly wooden, and although she understands many things in her heart, she has also thought about fighting against the injustices she has encountered, but most of the time, she just thinks about it, and almost never takes action.
And today, her slightly indifferent and casual attitude is the most obedient to her heart since she grew up, and it can be regarded as a hidden struggle.
It's just that her eldest brother has an impatient temperament since she was a child, jealous and hateful, and often angers the old uncle and Mrs. Song, so although Song Anming is the eldest grandson of the Bofu, he is not favored and valued by Kang Yongbo and his wife.
When Song Anming spoke, Song Shaoyan kept pressing down his hand to signal him not to be in such a hurry and not to be so loud, but this stop was of no use to Song Anming at all.
After he finished speaking, he stood up suddenly, "I'll go find my grandfather and grandmother!" ”
"An Ming!"
"Uncle!"
"Big brother!"
Song Shaoyan, Fang's, Qiao's, and Song Xiaochi spoke out almost at the same time, and Song Xiaochi jumped up from his chair, trotted directly to Song Anming, who had already walked to the door, and grabbed one of his arms, "Big brother, don't go." ”
"It's all like this, do you really want to lose your whole life?"
Song Anming glared at her, not daring to fight for her cowardice.
Song Xiaochi shook his head, "Big brother, think about it, if you go to your grandfather and grandmother like this, they will really agree to withdraw from the Xu family as you and I wish?" ”
Song Anming was slightly stunned, he knew that this was impossible, whether he quarreled with the sky, or knelt down in Rongsong Courtyard, his grandfather and grandmother would not eat it, what should be done, and he would not change his mind because of any move by his eldest grandson.
Song Xiaochi knew that the eldest brother had figured it out, and she calmed down, she pulled Song Anming to sit down, and analyzed her parents and brother and sister-in-law: "Father, mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, think about it, in fact, it is not a bad thing to drag on like this, not to withdraw from the Xu family, and not to marry the second son of the Xu family immediately."
As soon as Song Anming heard his sister say this, he couldn't help but interject, but was stopped by Qiao's, "Listen to the eldest sister first." ”
Song Anming barely reluctantly refutes Song Xiaochi's words immediately.
Song Xiaochi continued: "I know that the eldest brother doesn't look down on Xu Ergongzi, and my father and mother may also think that although Xu Ergongzi himself is not very good, he is not particularly unbearable, and his family background is good, and now that our uncle's mansion has been defeated to this point, the Xu family should be the best family I can find under the current circumstances, at least marry the Xu family, I can still live a rich life of slaves and maids."
In fact, I thought so myself at the beginning, until today, Mrs. Xu suddenly came to the door and said that Xu Ergongzi was unwilling to marry me, mother, sister-in-law, do you know how I felt after hearing Mrs. Xu's words? ”
"What does it feel?" Fang Shi asked with some unresponsiveness to her words.
