Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy
Chapter 65: You Earn Your Own Reputation
At first, Song Jinxiu thought that she had not expressed herself well and had hurt the man's self-esteem?
But after hearing his hearty laughter again, Song Jinxiu became a little unsure. What did this hammer mean?
But then I thought again, this scholar is aloof and noble. Why don’t he feel that he is not worthy of my cheap mother and get a divorce letter?
Why is it that there is such a sense of clarity in this smile?
Zhang Bangchui smiled and raised his hand to point at her, saying, "You, your pettiness is written all over your face."
Huh? Is it that obvious?
Song Jinxiu rubbed her face quickly, then looked at him seriously.
Zhang Bangchui laughed and said, "I'm not a scholar who doesn't know the world. I've long lost those scholarly spirits."
He said seriously, "I understand what you mean. You're worried that we won't be able to continue living here."
They really are ashamed, so they want to leave today.
He said, "People need face, trees need bark. But face is earned by oneself, not given by others."
"I've been thinking about your mother and I these days."
Song Jinxiu sat up straight, indicating that she was all ears.
"Given my current predicament, marrying your mother is a blessing from heaven. Although she is remarrying, she is indeed a good woman.
We've been together for almost a year now, and I wouldn't say we met too late, but I've definitely grown to love each other, and I'm happy with it."
How could this man say anything in front of the child? Tian Xinghua blushed and looked down for a crack in the ground...
Song Jinxiu, who had eaten a mouthful of dog food, tried hard to keep a straight face.
"I want to live a good life with her. You are her children, so I will be generous and treat you as my own."
"Since I consider myself an elder, I have to consider you."
"I also know your past. You are lucky. Becoming rich overnight is fortunate, but becoming rich overnight is likely to arouse jealousy."
"If you want to build such a large yard and a house, I'm afraid you'll need to buy more land, right?"
Song Jinxiu nodded.
Zhang Bangchui said, "So, we can't make any more big moves. Let's just forget about the school. At least for the next year, we can live in peace."
"As for me, I've been teaching Qiu Sheng how to read recently. I've also recalled what I learned in the past and found that I can still remember about 70% of it.
Although I am already twenty-eight, I still want to review my studies and try to earn the title of scholar. So, I am afraid that marrying into my family is not an option."
Marrying into a wife's family would be seen as lowering a man's social class, thus affecting his eligibility to take the imperial examination, so he could not do so.
He smiled and said, "If you can really pass the imperial examination again, you kids will be able to stand up straight, and I will be able to hold my head high."
Looking at her stepfather's bright smiling face, Song Jinxiu's first thought was, this man is only twenty-eight?
Damn, I’m not even as big as I was in my previous life?
Why do I suddenly feel like I'm looking at the boy next door?
At the age of 28, in his previous life, he was a big boy with infinite possibilities waiting for him in the future!
Song Jinxiu couldn't help but look at her mother. "Mom, how old are you?"
Tian Xinghua choked and sighed, "I'm old. I'm thirty-three this year."
Song Jinxiu: ...
They are both in the prime of their lives, but these two look so old. She thought they were in their forties or fifties.
Especially her mother, with her gray hair. Although her hair has become much darker due to drinking water soaked with Bodhi leaves these days, she was wearing a navy blue dress today.
Song Jinxiu shouted to the outside of the door: "Yingchun,"
Yingchun was a newly bought maid. There were five maids in her family, all of whom were twelve or thirteen years old. Song Jinxiu named them: Yingchun, Shijin, Yulan, Bauhinia, and Bitao.
These maids are all serving in the yard, and they have not been assigned any tasks yet.
Yingchun pushed the door open and came in. Song Jinxiu said, "Move all the cloth I bought into mother's room."
"Yes," Yingchun went out, and soon several maids and old women came in carrying seven or eight pieces of colorful fine cotton cloth.
Tian Xinghua asked in confusion: "How do we use so much cloth?"
Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "I bought all this for mother."
Then he said to Zhang's mother, "Grandma Zhang is good at sewing. Please dress up my mother and make her a couple of bright clothes so she won't be outdone by my uncle."
Mother Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll dress her up like a young daughter-in-law."
Tian Xinghua was bullied by her mother-in-law and daughter and her face turned red.
Zhang Bangchui looked at her and smiled foolishly.
Song Jinxiu couldn't bear to watch, and hurriedly urged: "Okay, okay, let's look at it later, let's get down to business first."
Zhang Bangchui touched his nose and followed her out of the house. Seeing her ordering someone to harness the carriage, he asked, "What are you going to do with the carriage?"
Song Jinxiu glanced at the boy next door and said, "Of course, I'm going to the county town to buy you some books and materials."
"Go now? My family is so busy..."
"There are so many people here, let them be busy, I bought them to work for us.
Besides, you can't afford to waste time like this, you should start studying and reviewing as early as possible, as time is precious."
Zhang Bangchui: This girl is very eloquent and she is even preaching to me.
Why did he suddenly feel like his father took him to the bookstore when he was little?
He is the stepfather, so are the generations wrong?
On the ox cart, Zhang Bangchui sat upright, looking serious and acting like an elder.
But the ox cart was shaking and he soon felt drowsy.
I didn't sleep all night last night. I was just thinking about when I would find an excuse to date my wife again after leaving Songjia Village.
They went to the largest bookstore in the county. Zhang Bangchui was picking out books, and Song Jinxiu also picked out a few books for herself.
In fact, she has the world's largest library in her space computer.
This is a free download available to everyone in their organization.
Although she downloaded it, she unfortunately didn't read much of it because it was selected by the organization, and most of it was academic.
In order to understand the world, Song Jinxiu picked up several travel books.
She found that most of the books here were enlightenment books and scientific research books, and there were almost no popular science books on agriculture, medicine, etc.
There are quite a few travel books, and there are also some romantic novels, but not many.
I picked out the best pens, ink, paper and inkstone and bought a lot of them.
The shopkeeper saw that a wealthy customer had arrived and hurried over to greet him personally.
Song Jinxiu first settled the bill and asked him to move the pens, ink, paper and inkstone onto the car first.
Seeing that Zhang Bangchui was still seriously selecting books, he said to Yiming, "You stay here, I'll go out for a walk."
Yiming was worried: "Miss, I'd better follow you."
Song Jinxiu nodded in Zhang Bangchui's direction and said, "Let's both go. It will be embarrassing if he finishes his shopping and has no money to pay."
Yiming couldn't help but laugh, and nodded, "Then take this, and blow it if there's any danger. I'll come over immediately if I hear it."
Yiming handed her a bamboo whistle. Song Jinxiu took it, waved at her, and left the bookstore.
When she saw the paper just now, she thought about stocking up on some straw paper and rice paper.
Because toilet paper made from straw paper is relatively brittle, it will be much better if you add some rice paper into it.
Of course, the ones you use yourself are naturally the best. They are all made of rice paper and have good toughness.
But the same cannot be said for her family members. If she takes out such good toilet paper, they will probably be so scared that they won’t dare to go to the toilet.
I went to buy a basket as a cover first.
He went to several bookstores in the county, put the rice paper and straw paper he bought in a basket, and then secretly moved it into the space.
I went to the grain store and bought a cart of rice and flour. I left my address and asked them to deliver it directly to my home.
In fact, there is no shortage of rice and flour at home, but Bianyianniang and Jinfang have to mix sorghum and beans into whatever they cook.
Song Jinxiu really couldn't get used to it. She told them many times, but it went in one ear and out the other.
My mother always says the same thing: If you have enough food to eat and enough clothes to wear, you won’t be poor all your life.
