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

A month later, Zhu Jie came to visit. Ma Taozhi was embroidering clothes in the house, and Pan Xiaofu was washing clothes in the front yard. He heard someone knocking on the door, so he wiped the handle.

"Who?"

Pan Xiaofu asked from behind the door.

"I'm Zhu Jie, the man on the east side of Lizi Lane, I'm looking for Taozhi."

Looking for peach branches?

Pan Xiaofu opened the door. This was the first time Zhu Jie saw Pan Xiaofu. He was a little fat, with fair skin, and it was obvious that he had not worked much.

"you are?"

Zhu Jie asked politely.

"I'm Taozhi's father-in-law. Come in and sit down! I'll call Taozhi out for you."

Zhu Jie took this opportunity to look around the yard. It was large and spacious, with objects neatly arranged around it. It also seemed that the family had a pretty good income.

"Taozhi, there's a man named Zhu Jie who wants to see you. Come out and meet him as soon as possible!"

Pan Xiaofu said a few words through the door at the window.

"I understand, Dad. I'll go out right now."

Ma Taozhi put down the clothes she was embroidering. He didn't know why Zhu Jie came to visit him, but he planned to ask.

Zhu Jie looked at Ma Taozhi who was wearing new clothes and said with envy.

"Your clothes are really beautiful."

Ma Taozhi found a stool and sat down, and he chuckled.

"This was made for me by my brother Jing. The material was also from their shop. The kid must have spent a lot of money on it."

Hearing this, Zhu Jie's eyes lit up and he spoke in a polite tone.

"By the way, Taozhi, I came here today to ask if your brother Jing is married?"

Ma Taozhi's face froze, but soon returned to normal. He probably knew why Zhu Jie came to his house.

"There is no marriage."

"That's great. My cousin has a girl who sells medicinal herbs. She's almost getting married. I think we are such a good couple, I can't let her get away with it."

Zhu Jie's meaning was quite clear, but Ma Taozhi remained calm. He pondered for a moment and said.

"I'm not happy with what Brother Jie said. My mother is the one who decides all the marriage matters in my family. This matter of Jing'er may not work out. My mother teaches in a private school in the county town. All the major matters in the family and the marriages of the younger generations have to wait for my mother to arrange."

Ma Taozhi explained to him carefully that after all, this Zhu Fulang had no bad intentions.

"Is your grandma the wife of a scholar?"

Zhu Jie said in surprise.

I really can't tell! I didn't expect that the clown was himself. I thought that seeing him buy vegetarian vegetables every day, he must be in financial difficulty at home.

He didn't know that Song Yu had recently loved eating vegetables and had no appetite for meat, so Ma Taozhi bought all kinds of vegetables home for Song Yu to eat. In addition, Song Yi would occasionally bring back vegetables that he grew himself, so the family was really not poor.

"Yes, my mother has been a scholar for more than 20 years. She has the final say in all family matters."

Zhu Jie also nodded. This indeed required the consent of the head of the family, but now he had to have a good relationship with Ma Taozhi.

"Okay then, I'll go back first. If this doesn't work, forget it. We won't force it."

"Okay, I know. When my mother comes back, I'll tell her."

He watched Zhu Jie walk away in small steps, and only put away his smile when he was out of sight.

Song Yu in the backyard heard it all clearly, but for now she would just lie down as long as she could. If it were another year later, she would definitely be trained by her grandmother.

Now she is not so fat anymore and her plump belly has become much firmer.

Song Xin's literacy is getting better and better now. The school also teaches music, chess, calligraphy and painting. No wonder the price of the men's college is twice that of Bailu Academy.

So, it is really expensive for boys in this world to go to school. It is almost more expensive than the cost of paper and ink for those studying girls.

But is it useful to learn it?

That is quite useful. Not only can it help you marry better, but it can also help your wife manage household affairs. A husband with a little power can read, do accounting, and have fun.

This is the etiquette, power, elegance and heritage of a wealthy family.

Song Xin prefers painting. If he wants to learn more about it, he will have to spend a lot of money to hire a better master to teach him.

Nowadays, these teachers can only teach the basics.

Song Yu would also paint when she was bored. She had learned to be smarter and now she only painted landscapes. When she was in the mood, she would paint five pictures a day. A piece of paper in the county town cost 20 taels of silver, so it can be said that Song Yu sometimes spent more than taels a day.

So, studying costs money. For some students from poor families, one piece of paper is enough for half a year.

After Zhu Jie returned home, he looked at his niece, then shook his head and said.

"His family doesn't plan to marry a man, and his grandmother is the head of the family. If you want to marry Jing Ge'er, it will be difficult!"

Zhu Jie sighed. He was a very insightful person and knew that the Song family must be an extraordinary family.

Think about it, the men in the family are all tender and handsome, and there is also a scholar in the family. If you want to marry one of the men in her family, I'm afraid there must be some conditions.

The light in Zhu Xing's eyes dimmed. She fell in love with Song Jing from the clothing store at first sight. She is 16 years old this year and will be married in two years.

Jing'er is only 12 years old. She only needs to wait for a year and they can get married, but she didn't expect that the Song family has no plans to marry her to a boy.

Zhu Jie frowned when he saw her distraught look, hoping that his niece would not do anything stupid.

When Song Jushu picked up Song Xin and brought her back, Ma Taozhi told her what happened today.

"If anyone asks you again in the future, tell them to come and talk to me. Don't make any random promises."

"Yes, I understand, mother."

The season of spring flowers has arrived again. Song Zhining is going to Kyoto on a business trip with Bai Xiangnan this time. She was so happy that she couldn't sleep for a long time.

Ma Taozhi felt a little lost as she wouldn't be able to see Zhining for a long time, and she was also afraid that she would go out and get involved with other men.

He had been feeling depressed for so many things, and only exploded after Song Zhining left. Ma Taozhi fell ill.

Pan Xiaofu is the only one who has to work hard at home. Fortunately, there is not much to do, so he can handle it alone.

Song Yu secretly used her special powers to treat her father's mental illness, which might be difficult to cure!

She sighed and asked her grandfather to come and give her some advice tomorrow, otherwise she would die if she continued like this.

Song Yi even came back specially to see her father. Seeing that, Song Yu wanted to kick her twice. So her sister is a dad-con?

Song Jing was also very worried, he said to Ma Taozhi.

"Dad, I'll take a few days off to stay home with you!"

"Ahem... That won't do. You'll miss out on a lot of money if you take a day off. I just caught a cold. I'll be fine after taking some medicine."

Pan Xiaofu brought the medicine, then drove everyone out. Sitting beside the bed, he told him about his future plans and the family's financial expenses. Which one of these would not be stressful enough for Zhining?

From that day on, Ma Taozhi took medicine actively and recovered after a week.

As soon as Song Yi entered the farm, she saw Wu Wenxuan with starry eyes. The love he had for her in his eyes could not be hidden at all.

He immediately stood up from his chair and asked carefully.

"I came yesterday and told you that you had asked for leave. Did you encounter any difficulties?"
