Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Soon, Song Dalang led the clan leader and the fourth uncle into the house.

"Patriarch, Fourth Uncle, I have decided to separate the second brother's family. He has grown powerful and doesn't listen to me. I invite you here today to be a witness."

The clan leader and the fourth uncle had already known the whole story on the way. The clan leader frowned and said,

"Although five taels of silver is a bit much, your family won't be unable to eat without it.

Why do you want to give the second one away?"

"Chief, the doctor said that if Sanniang doesn't wake up, we have to prepare for her death. It's obvious that she can't be saved.

If the ginseng bought with the five taels of silver does not wake up after eating, then another five taels of silver will be required.

Where did so much money come from?" Mrs. Song answered quickly.

The clan leader stomped his cane and said, "Your mother-in-law hasn't said anything yet. When will it be your turn to speak?"

The clan leader knew that Mrs. Song was a troublemaker and he looked down on her. He turned to look at Mr. Song and his wife who were still kneeling beside him and said:

"Second brother, your mother wants to separate you, are you willing?"

At this point, Song Lao Er let go of his anger and said what he didn't want to say, "I am willing to share it. We have hands and feet, and I don't believe we will starve to death."

The clan leader sighed and said, "Should we call the eldest brother back?"

Sister Song said anxiously, "No need, no need. If he comes back, maybe Sanniang won't be able to hold on until then."

Because the eldest brother Song was older than his younger brother and had raised his younger brother since childhood, if he knew that the second brother Song was separated for five taels of silver, he would definitely be angry.

"If that's the case, then forget it. I've heard the conditions for the division of the family. If we divide the family this way, your second son and his family will have to beg.

I think we should give him two or three mu of paddy fields and two mu of wasteland.

Although your old house is dilapidated, it can still be lived in after repairing it, and you gave it to the second son, so he won’t be displaced.”

The Song family has a total of twelve acres of paddy fields and five acres of wasteland. The eldest son, Song, has a legitimate grandson, so most of the family property was left to the eldest son.

When Mrs. Song heard this, she became anxious and said, "The second son's family has no male heirs, how can they get so much?

My eldest and second sons are about to get married. When they have grandchildren, they will have to open their mouths to eat. I don’t agree.”

The fourth uncle stomped his cane heavily.

"When my younger brother was still alive, he spent all his money on studying. At that time, your family only had five acres of paddy fields and two acres of wasteland.

The land we have earned now has also been contributed by the second brother, so I think we should divide it this way.

Don't go too far, my eldest brother, if he knew about this, he would definitely not forgive you."

After beating up Mrs. Song, the fourth uncle said to Mrs. Song,

"The second son's family has no male heir, but he is still young and can still have children. He is also your son, so don't be confused."

Mrs. Song thought that he was her own son after all, so she couldn't be too heartless, so she nodded in agreement.

Thinking that his son would soon divorce his wife who couldn't bear children and return home, he didn't mention the issue of alimony.

So the clan leader wrote the document of dividing the family, and the second son Song and his wife Song put their fingerprints on it, and the family was divided.

The clan leader put away the other document of division of the family that had been blown dry, and said to Mrs. Song, "Give the money to the second son. I will go back now and ask the fourth son to drive the cart to take the second son to buy medicine."

Mrs. Song took out the money reluctantly. Song Lao Er took the money and was about to leave with the clan leader, the Fourth Uncle.

He slowed down his pace when passing by Song Sanniang's room, and when he heard a noise coming from Sanniang's room, he rushed into the room.

When she entered the room, she saw Song Sanniang open her eyes. She looked at Song Laoer who rushed in and wanted to call for help, but her throat suddenly became hoarse and she couldn't make a sound, so she had to swallow the sound.

Song Lao Er hurried forward and touched San Niang's forehead. At this time, Song Er's wife also ran in and hugged San Niang crying: "Thank God, you finally woke up."

Sanniang was a little overwhelmed, and could only sigh that Song Ersao's acting skills were quite good. She had no choice but to say, "I want to drink some water."

Song Lao Er hurried out and brought a bowl of water to Song Ersao. She slowly fed Song Sanniang water one spoonful at a time.

Song Si Niang and Song Wu Niang also stood by the bed holding hands, calling "sister".

The clan leader and the fourth uncle heard Sanniang wake up and were about to leave.

The clan leader also said, "Second brother, your fourth uncle and I will go back and find someone to help you repair the old house. You can come over when it's ready!"

Song Laoer no longer cared about Song Sanniang at this time and hurriedly followed her.

Song Sanniang's mind was spinning. Now that the family was divided up, she could get something in return. It was perfect.

Zhang Zhenzhen of the New Century grew up with her grandparents as her parents divorced.

After her grandparents passed away, Zhang Zhenzhen ventured out into society on her own, wanting to buy a house for herself.

Unfortunately, she worked so hard that she died suddenly from overwork, and was transformed into Song Sanniang.

After drinking the water, Song Sanniang felt dizzy and wanted to continue sleeping, but she couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep again.

When she woke up, she was already on Song Laoer's back. Their family was moving to the renovated old house.

It is said to be an old house, but in fact it is just a few bamboo houses surrounded by a fence as a yard. However, it is better than having no roof over your head.

As you enter the yard, the kitchen is on the left, and there is a small room for taking a shower.

On the right is the utility room, which also has a small cellar.

Next to the utility room is an empty house, which was previously occupied by Song Ergu and Song Sangu.

The main house is in the middle. On the left is the living room, and on the right is the room of Mr. Song and his wife, separated by a curtain.

In addition to the bed, there was also a dressing table, a wardrobe and a wooden box that Song Ersao brought as a dowry.

There is a room on each side of the main house, which was previously occupied by the eldest and second oldest Songs.

The right side of the main house is now Song Sanniang's room, which only has a wooden bed covered with the previous bedding.

There is also a dressing table and stool that Song Laoer had made before.

There was also a bamboo clothes basket containing a few clothes, including the clothes of Si Niang and Wu Niang.

On the left side of the main house are the rooms of Song Si Niang and Song Wu Niang. There is only a wooden bed and no table.

Before they moved in, the three sisters slept together. Song Erniang had to take care of Si Niang and Wu Niang, and they shared everything.

After Song Lao Er settled San Niang, he and Song Ersao went out to work. Si Niang and Wu Niang played on the side while watching over Song San Niang.

After Song Sanniang ate the porridge in a daze, she fell asleep again and slept until dawn.

Hearing the chirping of birds outside the house, she opened her eyes and slowly got out of bed when she felt nothing was wrong.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, Song Laoer, who was working in the yard, was startled.

"Why are you up?"

"Dad, I feel better now and can get up and walk around."

"Now that you're awake, have some porridge."

Hearing the noise, Song Ersao brought out a bowl of porridge from the kitchen with an egg in it. There was a bamboo table in the yard, and she put the egg on it.

Sanniang went into the kitchen and got some water to rinse her mouth, then sat on a chair and asked, "Where are the sisters?"

At this time, Si Niang and Wu Niang heard the sound and walked out of the room holding hands.

The two sisters were born one year apart, just like twins. They stick together every day and are both very sensible.

"Sister, sister, are you okay?" Si Niang and Wu Niang asked in unison, holding hands.

Song Sanniang looked at Si Niang and Wu Niang. Due to malnutrition, both children were thin and small, with sallow complexions.

But the pair of big eyes with distinct black and white on his thin face stared at her steadily, full of worry.

Song Sanniang touched the two people's heads and said, "Yes, sister is fine, you should go wash your hands and have breakfast quickly." Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately ran to the kitchen to wash their hands.

Song Sanniang watched Song Laoer doing carpentry work and Song Ersao busying herself nearby, and felt that life was peaceful and quiet. But when she turned around and saw that the family was penniless, she began to think about how to make money.

After Song Sanniang had eaten her fill, she walked around the house to look at her belongings. Seeing that she had added some new belongings, she asked curiously:

"Mom, where did all this belongings come from?"

"It was sent by the clan leader, the fourth uncle, and your Third Uncle Niu."

Uncle Niu San is Song Laoer's childhood playmate. He is the third child in the family. His elder sister married to a place far away for a high betrothal gift for the sake of her two younger brothers.

Uncle Niu's brother is a little mentally retarded and stutters, but he can take care of himself and work. Uncle Niu has a son and a daughter, both younger than Sanniang.

"Mom, I'm going out for a walk." Song Sanniang couldn't sit still and wanted to take a look around.

"Go ahead, but be careful and don't be gone for too long. Let your two sisters follow."

Song Sanniang was named Song Jixiang, Song Siniang was named Ruyi, and Song Wuniang was named Fulu, all of which were filled with the heartfelt wishes of Song Laoer and his wife for their children.

"Okay," Song Sanniang responded readily, and walked out holding one of their hands each.

Walking out of the yard, there are several villagers in front and on the left of the Song family. On the right is a bamboo forest, which is lush and green, with a gentle breeze that makes people feel peaceful.

There was a small hill further back, and she and her two sisters walked up the hill slowly.
