I became the villain's deceased wife

Cheng Shuangshuang's eyes were red, and she twisted the handkerchief in her hand:

"He has been out doing business recently and hasn't been back for two or three months. He doesn't know about this yet."

Maybe he just felt uncomfortable staying at home, so he deliberately hid away.

Although Cheng Shuangshuang didn't understand business matters, from the time they met until they got married, he only stayed out for three to five days each time.

I've never been away for so long.

Song Tian smiled, sat down and drank a cup of tea.

"If you ask me, since your mother-in-law is unwilling to give up power, you should just return the keys to the household to her.

Why make it so unpleasant?"

Cheng Shuangshuang clenched her hands:

"How about that?

I am the eldest wife of the He family. If I can't even take charge of the family, I will be laughed at.

and……

And my mother also said that being in charge of the household is the confidence of a woman in the inner chamber.

If you give it to others easily, you will only be manipulated by them."

"Eh? That may not be the case!"

Song Tian looked at her seriously.

“Having money in hand is indeed a woman’s confidence, but she doesn’t necessarily have to be the head of the household.

I remember your parents also prepared a lot of dowry for you, so even if you don't care about the trivial matters in the He family's backyard, you can still live a relaxed and comfortable life."

Cheng Shuangshuang still hasn't come to her senses:

“How can it be the same?

The dowry my parents gave me is indeed quite a lot, but I can’t just sit there and do nothing…”

Song Tian interrupted her again:

“It’s true that living off one’s savings won’t work, but what if you have the ability to make money make more money?

The reason why your mother-in-law controls you like this is because of the He family's wealth, isn't it?

If the business you have is bigger and stronger than that of the He family, would you still be interested in what he has?

How dare your mother-in-law turn her face to you?"

After all, the world of women is actually the same as that of men. Whoever is stronger has more say.

It’s just that women of this era were bound by feudal ideas, and their eyes were only on the three acres of land in the backyard.

"But……

But I’m already married, if I still show up in public…”

Cheng Shuangshuang was still hesitating.

Song Tian knew she had such concerns.

laughed:

"What's wrong with getting married? Look at me, I still run a shop and make money."

Cheng Shuangshuang looked at Liu, her face still not looking good.

"How can I be like Sister Tian? Your family is in this situation, and the He family is..."

She was halfway through her words when she realized that this was a bit rude and quickly shut up.

The Xie family had nothing and relied entirely on Song Tian's shop to make money for their support.

But the He family was a wealthy family, and her husband's family ran many shops, and they required the women in the family to behave themselves and not show their faces in public.

Besides, her mother-in-law is not as soft-hearted as Liu.

Song Tian also lowered his head in thought.

This is indeed a problem.

But she quickly raised her face again.

“As long as your thinking doesn’t slip, there are always more solutions than problems.

Think about it carefully, you can always solve it.

If it's not convenient for you to come forward, don't we still have my mother?

If you trust her, you can let her help you run the business first.

When you are stronger than your in-laws, maybe they will give you some face and allow you to come out, right?"

Liu quickly waved her hands:

"A Tian is joking. I can't do that."

She has always been used to being idle, so how could she have the ability to open a shop and make money?

Cheng Shuangshuang's eyes lit up:

"Master, you can do it!

When I first got married, I was at a loss. The servants in the He family looked down on me because I was young. If you hadn't punished them, I would have been bullied all the time."

In fact, it was my mother-in-law who ordered those evil slaves to do so.

When a new bride enters the household, she, as the previous mistress, will have to hand over the power of the household, otherwise people will talk about her behind her back.

But if the new bride is incompetent and cannot even intimidate a few unruly servants, she will have a reason to stay in charge of the household for a few more days.

"That... that's nothing, they are just a few simple-minded slaves."

Although Liu was gentle in nature, she was a daughter of a wealthy family.

This method of punishing slaves has been learned since childhood.

“But I won’t.

So the master is the master, and I feel very relieved to hand over the dowry money to you."

Song Tian also encouraged:

"Yes, mother. Haven't you always wanted to earn money to support the family?

Shuangshuang provided you with an opportunity, why did you back down?

You are knowledgeable and experienced, definitely much better than me.

I may need your advice on opening a shop in the future."

Liu's face flushed with shame, and she said angrily:

"Just your sweet mouth!"

Although she had some concerns, Liu was also very excited about this matter.

Now Song Tian is supporting the family alone, and she always feels a little sorry for her.

Xie Yunzhe was about to go to school for the imperial examinations. Writing brushes, inkstones, and tuition at the academy were not small expenses, and they also had to be provided for him to take various exams...

"But, but what if I mess up?"

Song Tian waved his hand:

"Just go ahead and do it, your wife will support you.

If it really doesn't work, I'll just owe it to Shuangshuang first!"

Cheng Shuangshuang's smile seemed a little forced.

She was counting on the dowry to turn her life around, and didn't want Liu to compensate her.

But the words have been spoken, and it is difficult to take them back.

But seeing Song Tian's generous look, he changed his mind and decided it didn't matter.

You have to fight for your life before you are satisfied. It is better than being trapped in this backyard and suffering, living a life that you can see the end of.

"Master, go ahead and do it. If you lose, it's my fault!"

She also imitated Song Tian and patted her chest generously.

"What are you talking about? It's so lively?"

Xie Yunzhe came back at this time and asked a few women who were in high spirits.

Liu stood up quickly:

“Yunzhe went to find the academy?

Is it going well?"

Yesterday she heard that Xie Yunzhe could take the imperial examination again, and she was extremely happy.

Today I heard that the young couple went to the county government to report, and then they can find a school to study.

Liu had been looking forward to it since early morning.

Xie Yunzhe put down the pile of books he had just bought, and he looked very happy:

"Ok.

I took the county magistrate's letter of recommendation to the dean of Qingshan Academy, and he said that as long as I passed the county exam, I could study at Qingshan Academy!"

"real!"

Liu's eyes were filled with tears.

"Great!"

Song Tian was very excited.

The plan of sending the boss to the scientific expedition was finally realized, and she finally felt relieved.

“We celebrated with an extra meal in the evening.

Shuangshuang, don't leave today, come and try my cooking!"

Song Tian said this and was about to get up to buy groceries.

Xie Yunzhe grabbed her and said:

"Don't be busy, ma'am!"

Song Tian looked at him in confusion.

Xie Yunzhe's face was filled with shame:

“Let’s talk about the celebration later. My wife’s shop has been in some trouble recently, so we shouldn’t be extravagant.

And...and..."

He was a little embarrassed to say it out loud.

Song Tian is upset:

"Don't dilly-dally, just say it if you have something to say."

Xie Yunzhe blushed:

"The tuition at Qingshan Academy is very expensive. It costs two taels of silver a month, and that doesn't include food, lodging, books, and ink..."

He was afraid that Song Tian would think he was a waste of money.

Song Tian rolled her eyes:

"I thought it was a small matter. Don't worry about the money. I'll find a way.

Moreover……"

She looked back at Liu.

"Mom will be able to help in the future."

Liu suddenly became nervous.

She will definitely work hard!

Cheng Shuangshuang looked at him with envy.

Sure enough, what Sister Tian said was right. Look how respectful and cautious Brother Xie was towards her.

It turns out that women only have status if they can make money!

She became more determined to start her own business.

Lin Si, who was next door, was watering the flowers and listening to the laughter coming from them.

He looked at the sky dejectedly:

"The wind tonight seems a little chilly!"
