Chapter 17: Support from the Song Clan Elders
Xia Xiaorou and Song Yanbai's family walked into the main house of Song Liu's family.
In a side room, a baby was crying at the top of his lungs.
Mrs. Song Liu was coaxing the child in the house.
"Oh, don't cry. Your father will be a high-ranking official in the future! If you keep crying like this, won't it embarrass him? Chang'er, grandma will sing a little song for you. Just be good and don't cry, okay?"
Chang Er...
When Xia Xiaorou heard this name, anger suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Chang'er, **Chang.
It was the ungrateful son she raised in her previous life.
When ** Chang brought him back, he weighed only three pounds.
He cries softly, is thin, and has only a small amount of hair on his head.
It looks as ugly as a kitten with its skin shed.
She was worried that she couldn't support **chang, so she almost raised him in the palm of her hand.
Just like Song Liushi, she held her little brother Chang in her arms and coaxed him all day long, doing her best to make sure he had enough to eat and was warmly clothed.
When ** Chang grew up, he hired the best teacher to teach him. When he grew up a little more, he built a house for him and married him a wife, and even helped raise ** Chang's son.
**Chang liked to flirt with other girls outside, and he was afraid that his wife would find out and make a fuss, so it was she who paid money to seduce those girls away and solved all his troubles.
All her life's efforts in her previous life were spent on ** Chang.
But in the end...
In the end, ** Chang just wanted her to die early so that he could get her property and reunite with his biological parents.
"Mother, this child must be born to my eldest brother's concubine, right? But my eldest brother only went to school for one year and can't even recognize all the characters. How can he pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official?
Since you can't become a high-ranking official, whether the child cries or not, how can it bring shame to your brother?
Could it be that this child is not actually the eldest brother's biological child, but was adopted by the mother from somewhere else and registered in the eldest brother's name? The man who passed the examination and became a high-ranking official is the biological father of the child?"
Xia Xiaorou walked to the bedroom door and said teasingly to Song Liu in the room.
The two sons of Mrs. Song Liu had completely different personalities and abilities.
The eldest son is illiterate and can only do some small business.
When he was in his teens, he went to the county town and worked as a clerk in a shop.
After gaining some experience, he was promoted to shopkeeper and now manages a branch.
He also brought his wife and son to the county town and settled there for a long time, only returning home for a few days during the holidays.
The second son, Song Wenshan, studied hard since childhood and passed the imperial examination and became a student.
In his previous life, Song Wenshan was indeed an official in Beijing.
When Mrs. Song Liu suddenly heard what Xia Xiaorou said, she was so frightened that her heart stopped beating suddenly.
She walked to the door with the child in her arms and shouted excitedly, "Xia, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Seeing Song Yanbai coming again, Mrs. Song Liu subconsciously took a few steps back and shouted coldly, "Song Yanbai, you sick guy, what are you doing running into my house? Stay away from me, don't infect my precious grandson with tuberculosis! If anything happens to my grandson, I will never let you go!"
Song Yanbai looked unhappy.
Chu Xianyun hurriedly gestured to explain, "Yanbai's illness is much better now. His illness is not contagious."
"Brother Yanbai's cough and asthma have improved a lot. He hasn't coughed in the past two days. He just caught a cold, not tuberculosis or a serious illness." Xia Xiaorou said coldly.
"Xia Xiaorou, you've become successful now. You have the support of Song Yanbai, that sick guy. Not only do you not want to go home, but you also go against your mother-in-law?" Mrs. Song Liu scolded Xia Xiaorou in a sharp voice.
She is always unreasonable, and will make a fuss all day long unless she wins an argument.
Xia Xiaorou glanced at Song Liushi and said calmly, "Cui Xi went to invite some clan elders. They will decide whether I should do housework for you and raise this bad kid who I brought from who knows where."
After saying that, she nodded to Song Yanbai, "Brother Yanbai, let's sit and wait."
She moved a chair over and asked Song Yanbai to sit down.
Song Yanbai waved his hands and sighed to Song Liu, "Aunt, Xiaorou has had a hard time. Please don't make things difficult for her."
Song Liu narrowed her eyes, feeling a little bad in her heart, "Invite the clan leader? What exactly do you want to do?"
"Seventh uncle, eighth uncle, eleventh uncle, fourth uncle, please walk faster." Cui's cheerful voice came from the yard.
Mrs. Song Liu was so angry that her eyes went dark. Her daughter actually hired someone for Xia Xiaorou?
This stupid girl!
Song Liu held the child in her arms and walked to the main house.
Several old men from the Song family and a group of neighbors and villagers came in a group.
The clan elders followed Song Cuixi into the house, while the neighboring villagers stood on both sides of the gate, watching the excitement with their eyes rolling around.
It turned out that Song Cuixi had invited the four most senior members of the Song family. The neighbors and villagers guessed that there would be big events and excitement at the Song Liu family, so they called their friends to come as well.
Song Liu's face turned pale, "Cui Xi, what are you doing?"
"Xia Xiaorou said there was something good and asked me to invite everyone here, mother." Song Cuixi said with a raised corner of her lips, and then turned back to look at Xia Xiaorou, "I have invited people here, what is it? Tell me quickly."
Xia Xiaorou and Song Yanbai left their seats and were helping several clan leaders to sit down.
The three of them sat at the head of the table. Uncle Song, the patriarch of the Song family, also sat at the head of the table. He spoke first, "Xia, we are all here. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Xia Xiaorou walked up to the four elders of the Song family and knelt down.
"Xiao Rou is all alone and helpless. I want to adopt a child from the tribe as my adopted son so that I can have someone to rely on when I am old. Please allow me, the three clan elders and the fourth uncle."
Song Liu's eyes lit up. Did Xia Xiaorou figure it out?
Song Cui raised her lips proudly, "You should have done this earlier."
The three clan leaders and Song Guisheng looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
The people watching at the door also supported Xia Xiaorou's actions.
Song Guisheng said, "Xia, we understand your thoughts and we have no objection. Which child do you want to adopt?"
"Of course it's this child! Isn't this a ready-made one?" Song Cuixi took the child from Song Liu's hand and put it into Xia Xiaorou's hand. "This is my eldest brother's child. It's most appropriate for Xia to adopt him."
Xia Xiaorou frowned in disdain and didn't answer.
She put her hands behind her back, looked up at the three clan elders and Song Guisheng and said, "Before I adopt the child, I have a condition. Please agree to it, four elders."
"Well, just tell us, we will agree." Song Guisheng said.
Xia Xiaorou married into the Song clan, and as a young widow, she had never done anything unruly. On the contrary, she was honest and hardworking, and often gave some of her homemade food to the elders in the clan during festivals.
Although she herself had a hard life, she still thought about the elders in the clan, which made the Song clan members have a very good impression of her.
As soon as she made the request, the elders immediately agreed.
