A car accident, our family of three crossed

Song Ning's heartfelt words touched Aunt Sun so much that she didn't say anything to refuse. Instead, she wiped her eyes and said, "Why are you being so sentimental, kid? This amount of cloth must cost a lot of money!"

"Not much." Seeing that she no longer insisted on refusing, Song Ning breathed a sigh of relief, saving her from wasting more time persuading her.

Shitou Niang held the new cloth, feeling a little ashamed. She had once woven Song Ning with other young wives in the village. Now, she finally understood that only those who did not know themselves would envy those who were better than themselves.

That day, Song Ning and her son stayed at Sun's house until mid-afternoon. When they were about to leave, Shuisheng and Qinglai came back from the city and told Song Ning what had happened in the city.

"The scholars in the city have come to the gate of the county government again, demanding that the county magistrate conduct an open trial and clear Brother Shuheng's name."

"And more." Shuisheng was not willing to be outdone, and rushed to say: "I heard that Uncle Hengzi wrote a poem in prison, and those scholars spread it like crazy. It was called something like... shattered to pieces, something like innocence..."

Song Ning continued, "I am not afraid of being torn to pieces, I just want to leave my innocence in this world."

"Yes, yes, that's it." Shuisheng was surprised. "Aunt, you haven't been to the county town, how do you know this poem?"

"I guessed." Song Ning said perfunctorily, and then asked: "Did the government say when the court will open?"

"Yes, the government office has posted a notice that the court will be held the day after tomorrow." Shuisheng suddenly thought of something and ran out. "This is good news. I have to tell my great grandfather and make him happy."

After Shuisheng left, Song Ning also left Sun's house with Yangyang. Qinglai saw the cloth on the table and asked curiously, "When did our family buy so much cloth?"

Shitou Niang explained: "It was sent by Yangyang Niang."

"Why did she send cloth to our house?"

Qinglai was a little confused, but his mother and sister-in-law were busy cleaning up and had no time to pay attention to him.

Early the next morning, Shitou's mother brought little Shitou to visit Song Ning for the first time, which surprised Song Ning quite a bit.

"Come in and sit down!"

"Shi Tou, you're here." Yang Yang took out all his snacks when he saw his little friend coming.

Shi Tou Niang's eyebrows twitched when she saw this. Rich families are different. They always have snacks available at home. The two handfuls of vegetables she brought seemed extremely shabby.

"Sister-in-law, I think the vegetables I grow at home are growing well, so I'll bring some over for you."

"Okay! Our Yangyang likes to eat vegetables very much, thank you!" Vegetables may not be a big deal for farmers, but Song Ning doesn't dislike them at all. The vegetables of this era are natural, drug-free and pollution-free, and are very precious to their family.

"Really? If Yangyang likes it, I'll send some more later." Shi Tou Niang was actually not very comfortable. After all, she didn't have much contact with Song Ning. She was afraid that the other party would think she had some purpose when she suddenly came to his house.

As for her purpose, she did have one. The main reason she came this time was to make friends with Song Ning, and secondly, she wanted to ask Song Ning for advice on how to draw embroidery patterns.

"You came to see me, is there something wrong?" Song Ning could see that she was uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to start a conversation.

"I have something to do. I wonder if it's convenient for you, sister-in-law." Shitou Niang took out a few handkerchiefs with the edges already locked from the sewing basket she brought with her. "Yesterday I heard you talking about tracing patterns. I picked out a few pieces of better rags last night. I thought it would be even better if I could embroider some nice patterns on these good rags."

"Have you finished stitching the edges?" Song Ning took the handkerchief and looked at it. It was a plain handkerchief. Except for the stitching, there was no embroidery on it. "Let me see the patterns you used to embroider."

Upon hearing this, Shitou Niang took out a few embroidered handkerchiefs from the basket and showed them to Song Ning. There were flowers, grass, magpies, etc., but they were all relatively traditional patterns.

"Let me draw some pictures of the Four Gentlemen for you!" Song Ning was afraid that she didn't understand, so he explained, "They are plum, orchid, chrysanthemum and bamboo."

"Then thank you, sister-in-law."

Song Ning immediately found paper, pen, paint, etc. from the study, and quickly sketched out four patterns of plum, orchid, chrysanthemum and bamboo. It was not a complicated design, but it was extremely vivid, as if they were really growing there, rather than painted on.

"This is so beautiful!" Shi Tou Niang looked at the drawn patterns and fell in love with them at first sight. Although they were all flowers and plants, the patterns she had embroidered before were far inferior to them.

"The patterns I drew are relatively simple, so they shouldn't be difficult to embroider." Song Ning suggested, "I think the fabrics you picked are of good quality. Next time when you deliver the goods, you can pick out the embroidery with these patterns and negotiate the price with the shopkeeper. It should be possible to increase the price a little."

"Is it possible? Okay, I'll listen to my sister-in-law." Shi Tou Niang had never thought about this. If it weren't for Song Ning's suggestion, she really wouldn't have thought of calculating it separately.

Afterwards, Song Ning taught Shitou Niang some embroidery needlework and color matching techniques, which benefited her a lot and made her admire her very much. "Sister-in-law, you are really amazing. Not only can you read, but you can also draw and even embroider so well. It seems that there is nothing you can't do."

"It's not as amazing as you say." Song Ning said modestly.

Shitou Niang deeply felt that she had made the right move, which not only brought her closer to Song Ning, but also enabled her to learn a lot from her. In the past, she, like other young wives in the village, rejected Song Ning. Now thinking about it, she had to admit that she was really stupid at that time.

It was not until almost noon that Shi Tou Niang had to go back to prepare lunch and had to leave.

After a morning of contact, Song Ning could see that she wanted to get closer to him. Song Ning didn't reject this. The Sun family were all kind people and had helped his family a lot. It would be good for them to visit each other more often in the future.

Song Ning simply steamed some rice, fried a plate of shredded pork, picked some vegetables that Shi Tou Niang brought over, washed them and fried them, and then served some bone soup that she had cooked in the morning, and the mother and son had lunch.

The dish was indeed tender and tasted great. She thought that there were not many vegetables left in her own vegetable garden. She was not very proficient in growing vegetables, so perhaps she could ask the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Sun family for advice.

After dinner, Song Ning sat in the rocking chair in the yard, rocking from time to time.

Hang Shuheng's case will be heard in court tomorrow. If everything goes well, Hang Shuheng will be able to come back tomorrow. There is only one day left, but she finds the days becoming increasingly difficult.

I don’t know if things will change. Shuisheng and Qinglai went into the city as usual this morning. We can find out the latest situation as long as we wait for them to come back.

But unexpectedly, Shuisheng and Qinglai did not come back, but the eldest lady Zhou Ru came again.
