Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

The other was the wife of an old country squire, and someone in her family was an official in the capital.

Behind the old lady sat two young girls, chatting among themselves. They looked like the younger generations of her family.

After greeting everyone one by one, the county magistrate's wife introduced the two ladies sitting on the corridor:

"This is the young patriarch of Songjia Village. Don't look at her age, but she's very capable. The soybean oil that's all the rage in the county right now was invented by her. She's really brought honor to us women."

The squire's wife smiled and said, "I've tried soybean oil, it's really good."

A girl behind the squire's wife said, "I knew about oil extraction from rapeseed, but I didn't expect that soybeans could also be used to extract oil. You're quite impressive."

The girl had her back to her just now, but now she turned around and Song Jinxiu saw that she was wearing a veil.

Why is she wearing a veil? Is she trying to avoid people seeing her face?

But this was none of her business. Song Jinxiu smiled modestly at her and explained:

"Rapeseed oil is suitable for stir-frying meat dishes or stewing, and is suitable for medium-low temperature cooking. Soybean oil is resistant to high temperatures and is best for stir-frying, frying, deep-frying, and baking."

The girl's eyes lit up. "Ha, you know quite a lot. It seems you like food? Then let me ask you, how do you make delicious sesame oil?"

Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "Sesame oil is very fragrant and suitable for seasoning, such as salad dressing, soup, and hot pot dipping sauce..."

The girl smiled and said, "Yeah, it's delicious with cold dishes. What is the hot pot dipping sauce you mentioned?"

The county magistrate's wife saw that the two men hit it off immediately and started chatting.

This won't do. She hasn't even talked about the main business yet. Her husband just said he was going out to pick someone up, and asked her to finalize the godparenting arrangement as soon as possible.

She quickly interrupted the two of them and said to the lady of the squire with a smile, "That's right, I just like this capable child, hehe..."

As she laughed, she sighed again and said, "But the world is so unfair to us women. I love this child, and my husband also has a love for talent, so he wants to support this child. From now on, she will be our adopted daughter."

The county magistrate's wife said this, sat down and gestured to the maid beside her to bring tea.

What?

Song Jinxiu suspected that she had heard it wrong.

How did she become an adopted daughter?

Did you ask me? Did I agree? Doesn't this county magistrate's wife take herself too seriously? What is she talking about?

The first time they met, without even asking, he announced that he was her adopted daughter. How narcissistic is that?

Also, they put a futon and served tea. Are they forcing me to offer tea and recognize my relationship right away?

Song Jinxiu felt depressed, but because this was the wife of a county head, she gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, took a step back, bowed and said:

"Madam, I am flattered by your kindness. However, there are many elders in my family, and my parents are both at home. I am just a peasant girl, and I am not worthy of your kindness."

This, this is a rejection?

Everyone looked at each other.

Only the veiled girl who had just spoken to Song Jinxiu covered her mouth and chuckled, and even winked at her.

The county magistrate's wife's face froze. She didn't expect the little girl to refuse. How could she dare?

He condescended to adopt a country girl as his goddaughter.

Shouldn't she be grateful, flattered, and immediately kneel on the ground, kowtow, and call her stepmother or godmother?

Does she know the consequences of refusing a county head?

Mrs. Liu, the daughter-in-law of the old Hanlin, had a gleam in her eyes: "What's going on? Didn't they agree on this beforehand?"

The wife of County Magistrate Wang is not a reckless and impractical person, is she?

She glanced at Song Jinxiu and the timid and petty Song Jinfang behind her, and then she understood.

This is a self-righteous act of not taking other people's children seriously.

"Who do you think you are? The county magistrate's wife adopted you as her adopted daughter, and not only are you not grateful, but you even dared to refuse. You're such a country bumpkin, so ignorant."

Li Wan's voice rang out again, and Song Jinxiu was furious. She frowned and said angrily:

"Who is so rude? Why are you butting in when the adults are talking? If you want, just ask for an adopted daughter."

Li Wan's voice suddenly rose an octave. "What did you say? You want me to be her adopted daughter? Do you know who I am?"

My grandfather is a fifth-rank court judge. How can she, a mere county magistrate's wife, be worthy of him?

Song Jinxiu sneered, "I don't know who you are, but I am the head of my clan. You asked me to be someone else's adopted daughter. What do you think of my clan members?"

Song Jinxiu was really angry. She said this to Li Wan and also to the county magistrate's wife.

Bah, it's obvious that they just want to take advantage of the soybean oil because it's so lucrative, but they act like they're giving alms, their eating habits are so ugly.

What? The magistrate's wife is so high and mighty? Do I have to cling to her?

Li Wan shrieked, "A mere peasant girl, even if she becomes the head of a clan, is still a group of untouchables who farm the land. What's so great about that?"

"afraid!"

Li Wan covered her face in shock, "You, you dare to hit me?"

Song Jinxiu looked at her fiercely: "I beat you because I think highly of you. If you say anything more, I will even beat your father."

Song Jinxiu glanced at her and snorted coldly: "Huh, pariah?

The current emperor once said: The people sow hope in spring, and the great cause of the ages lies in the fields. The emperor is light and the people are heavy, and the crops are strong. Farming and reading are passed down from generation to generation, and the family will have long-lasting peace.

The emperor is wise and benevolent. He said that the people of the world are the breadwinners of the court and should be treated well.

In the eyes of the emperor, all the people are precious, but you say that we ordinary people are untouchables?

Do you believe that if the emperor knew about this, your grandfather, the judge, would be fired?"

"you you you……"

Li Wan was speechless after being retorted by Song Jinxiu. Although she didn't know what "laid off" meant, she knew it was definitely not a good thing.

As the second generation of an official in Beijing, she knew how serious the words were once they involved the royal family.

She was angry and scared. She stamped her feet in anger, covered her face and ran away crying.

Wang Leling quickly ordered the maid to chase after her. She looked at Song Jinxiu with dissatisfaction, "Miss Song, my mother meant well. If you don't appreciate it, then fine. But why are you speaking rudely to Miss Li? Isn't that too much?"

Song Jinxiu sneered and asked, "Do you think I'm going too far?"

Without waiting for Wang Leling to say anything, she asked the county magistrate's wife, whose face had long been gloomy and full of anger:

"Madam, do you think so too? Are we the untouchables that Miss Li mentioned?

So if you adopt me as your adopted daughter, you're giving us low-class people a face, right?"

The county magistrate's wife was humiliated for the first time, and she was already furious, but she couldn't lose her temper in front of so many people.

Now Song Jinxiu asked him the question mercilessly, and he could no longer suppress his anger.

But even if it cannot be suppressed, it has to be suppressed, because there is the old Hanlin's daughter-in-law, the old squire's wife, and so many young ladies here.

Of course, she couldn't tell the truth, but she couldn't swallow the humiliation of defending such a shameless girl.

The county magistrate's wife knew that she had to say something to appease Song Jinxiu.

But she just couldn't open her mouth, for she was afraid that she would start swearing as soon as she opened her mouth.

This is not something the county magistrate's wife can say.

As the wife of a county magistrate, her speech and behavior must be dignified and graceful.

Seeing the county magistrate's wife remain silent, Song Jinxiu sneered, "It seems that this banquet has a problem for me. I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."

Song Jinxiu led her sister away.

There was a hint of admiration in the veiled girl's eyes.

Xue Feifei, who was sitting in the corner, also witnessed the whole process.
