After the birth of a woman, the whole family depends on me to bring honor to the family

"Ju Shu, are you here? We're having dinner together, and it's just in time for you to come."

The teacher's husband is a slightly plump man. He is a little old, but the demeanor he displays does not disgrace the manners of a scholar's husband.

Song Jushu's teacher is Li Yan, who is now 70 years old and takes care of flowers and plants at home. Her husband is Bai Duo, 68 years old, who takes care of their granddaughter and serves Li Yan at home.

She came at a very bad time today. She didn't expect Li Hong to be at home.

Li Hong is Li Yan's youngest son. He was also the young man who fell in love with Song Jushu. At the age of 52, he looks particularly old.

He was hunched over, with his wife and daughter standing beside him.

The Li family's faces froze all of a sudden. This was truly a scene of Mars hitting the Earth.

"Teacher, I am here to pay my respects to you. I am grateful for your kindness, but I will not stay any longer. Please take care of yourself in the future. I am afraid this is the last time I will come here."

Song Jushu bowed solemnly, then walked away with her head held high. Her face was not that old, but there were still a few wrinkles on it.

But he had mastered the temperament of a scholar. Dressed in scholar's attire, he looked refined and handsome, and his pine-like back disappeared from everyone's sight.

Li Hong looked at her disappearing figure in dismay, with a hint of regret in his eyes, but his wife and daughter did not notice his emotion.

Bai Duo packed up the gifts Song Jushu brought, including a jar of good wine, two pounds of pork, a bag of sugar, and three taels of silver.

Li Yan didn't say anything. She ate her meal in silence and no one in the family noticed her shaking legs.

She knew exactly what these three taels of silver represented. She had once used three taels of silver to insult her because of her son's matter.

Unexpectedly, these three taels of silver actually severed their master-disciple relationship.

Li Hong felt bitter in her heart. She really liked Song Jushu at first and was very happy about it, but things did not go as she wished and the two of them were not destined to be together after all.

Song Yu's consciousness has been following her grandmother. She doesn't understand what her grandmother is doing, but she always feels that this is something her grandmother has been planning for a long time.

By the afternoon, Pan Xiaofu was almost fed up with anticipation at the door.

Song Zhining was fiddling with the door panel at the door, changing its position from time to time.

"I'm back. Milk is back."

Song Xin ran in from outside, speaking breathlessly.

"Hurry, bring the food to the table, we're ready to eat."

"Okay! I'll ask my second brother to serve the food."

As soon as Song Jushu entered the room, she saw Pan Xiaofu's nervous face. She smiled helplessly and then pulled him into the room.

The family sat neatly at the table, with Song Jushu sitting at the main seat. When they saw her picking up her chopsticks, the rest of the family started eating.

It is the etiquette of the Song family not to talk while eating, but Song Zhining's eating noises are extremely loud. Everyone in the family is used to it and cannot change it.

When it was night, she hugged Pan Xiaofu, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Xiaofu, I know you are afraid, but you have to have faith in me! After I marry you, I won't have any thoughts about other people."

Pan Xiaofu burst into tears instantly. He was forced to commit suicide by jumping into the river in order to avoid humiliation.

Unexpectedly, she was rescued by Song Jushu who came home. The two of them had physical contact. Song Jushu proposed marriage the next day without saying a word.

At that time he was just a student, but he was very famous in the four villages. Pan Xiaofu's parents sold Pan Xiaofu to her for ten taels of silver.

In order to prevent future troubles, Song Jushu took drastic measures and asked them to write letters of severance of marriage and also sign indentures.

Ten taels of silver was enough for a family to live on for almost eight years. Song Jushu was penniless at the time and had to rely on the village headman to help him borrow the money.

So after she passed the examination and became a scholar, she immediately gave the village head the maximum power to allocate tax-free quotas. Even though most of the beneficiaries were the village head's immediate relatives, she didn't say anything.

"I know that if it weren't for me, your future would have been much more than just being a scholar. I'm the one who held you back. I'm sorry for you. If you had married..."

Song Jushu covered his mouth, then kissed him gently and sighed.

"Xiao Fu, there are not so many smooth sailing things in this world. There are no ifs. Since I met you in the beginning, it means that I am not destined to be with the teacher's son. Now more than 30 years have passed. We both have our own lives. Don't think about it anymore. Go to sleep."

Pan Xiaofu still couldn't sleep. He knew that his wife was becoming more and more attractive. She looked like a woman in her thirties even though she was in her fifties. How could he feel at ease?

But now with Song Yu, he felt a little more confident.

Song Yu:…………

Seeing her grandma and grandpa talking sweetly to each other, she felt a pang of pain in her teeth, but Song Zhining just ignored him.

Seeing that she had her eyes closed, they thought she was asleep, and then the parents started exercising.

Song Yu:…………Just act like human beings!

Once the New Year atmosphere passed, the whole village started to do farm work.

At the beginning of March, Song Jushu was going to the academy again, but Song Zhining went to the blacksmith shop to work early.

This time when she passed by Xu Jinlian, she immediately quickened her pace. Xu Jinlian had a look of disappointment on her face. During the Chinese New Year, he and Zhu Rourong had been together.

"What are you looking at? What's so good about her? She's just a big, stupid, wooden girl."

Zhu Rourong said this with some resentment in his eyes.

Bao Guanzi looked at Xu Jinlian and Zhu Rourong with a gossipy look on his face. He always felt that there was something wrong with these two people. He sat in front of the bun shop and watched Xu Jinlian buy some meat.

Looking at Xu Jinlian's seductive figure, she clicked her tongue a few times.

"What are you looking at?"

"Hey! I said... no... what do you mean! What's wrong with me taking a look? He's not your man or your lover, so why can't I take a look?"

Zhu Rourong was a little speechless. Yes, she was having a secret affair with Xu Jinlian now. If this was official, who would dare to look at her man?

Thinking that Xu Jinlian was her man, she was extremely happy and was grinning foolishly.

Bao Guanzi was bewildered. Was he possessed by evil spirits? Why was he still laughing? What a fool.

The owner of the blacksmith shop is named Mo. He treats his employees very well and does not exploit them. He also has a five-year-old daughter who goes to school in town.

"Aunt Zhining, you're here so early? Have you eaten?"

Mo Jinghong greeted politely.

Song Zhining didn't expect that the boss's daughter would come to the store early. Seeing her gentle and polite appearance, she immediately thought of her little daughter.

"Don't worry about auntie, I've eaten. Where's your mother?"

"My mother went out to do some work and asked me to look after the store."

Although she is small, she speaks in an organized and clear manner.

"Okay, I'll go to work now, you can eat slowly."

Mo Jinghong still ate the buns bought from Guan Baozi's shop. Guan Baozi didn't look that good, but the buns he made were delicious.
