Asking for a divorce on the way to exile, finding a husband is a great pleasure

Song's mother felt like the sky had fallen. How could such a good bag have such a big hole in it when she hadn't checked it for a while?

Shen Yitian took a calm look at the torn bundle and said "ah" perfunctorily.

"I didn't even notice when this bundle was torn."

Everyone in the Song family: ....

Do you dare to be more surprised and fake?

"You are the one carrying this bag, and you still dare to say you didn't notice it." Song Yuerong cursed viciously.

Song's mother hurriedly opened the piece of clothing that had fallen out. There was silver coins rolled up in the clothes. This bundle could be said to be all their belongings.

Fortunately, the silver was not lost.

But she counted and found that two pieces of clothing were missing, as well as some small items.

"I'm carrying it. Didn't you throw it to me? Why, you were thinking of me when you were carrying the bag, and now you're thinking of me again after you lost it.

Didn't you insist on throwing this burden on me? " Shen Yitian was not willing to be outdone and directly retorted.

After she finished arguing, she seemed to remember something and looked at Song Yuerong with an expression that said, "I know what I'm doing." "This hole must have been made when you threw the bag. You threw it so hard, it's no surprise that there's a hole."

Upon hearing this, Song's mother immediately turned to look at her. She didn't say anything, but her face was full of suspicion.

"Mom, you can't listen to her. There wasn't this hole when I lost it." Song Yuerong quickly explained.

Although Song's mother usually looks weak and gentle, she is still quite scary when she frowns, and Song Yuerong is very scared.

Shen Yitian, however, was just enjoying the fun: "Yeah, there wasn't any when you threw it, but it's back after you threw it. So, besides the hole you tossed when the bag fell to the ground, what else could have caused such a big hole?"

Song Yuerong: "You're talking nonsense, I didn't!"

"If you tell the truth, your mother won't scold you." Shen Yitian advised earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Mother Song glared at Song Yuerong, with anger already in her eyes.

"Wasn't that the cut you made when you dropped it? Could it be that your sister-in-law deliberately cut it with a knife? Rong'er, you're already so old, why are you still so ignorant?"

Song Yuerong was unconvinced: "Maybe she was carrying it on her back and it was scratched by a branch."

Shen Yitian slapped her thigh and said, "That makes sense. Well, that means I'm not reliable. So, don't give me such an important job as carrying the bag in the future. It's not reliable."

"Stop arguing. There's nothing to argue about since the bundle is already rotten. Tian'er, go peel some mulberry bark or hemp bark. This bundle needs to be mended. We don't have needles and thread right now." Mother Song was annoyed by their quarrels and waved her hand and gave the order.

Shen Yitian just couldn't find an excuse to leave, so she stood up immediately after hearing her words. "Okay, I'll go right away."

Song Yuerong thought she was going to refuse again, but seeing her agree so readily, she couldn't help but curl her lips. "I thought you were so tough, but you still have to listen to your mother."

"She likes your brother so much that she tried every means to marry into our family. She was willing to be exiled with us for your brother and refused to go back to her parents' home. How could she give up so easily? She was just throwing a tantrum because she didn't have steamed buns to eat. It will be fine once she gets used to it." Mother Song smiled and looked down at the bundle in her hand to see how to mend it so that she could continue to use it.

Song Yuerong agreed: "That's right. If she hadn't been so shameless as to insist on marrying my brother, my brother would never have married a merchant's daughter. It's a pity that all the boxes of beautiful clothes she brought with her were confiscated during the house search. If those clothes were on me, they would look so beautiful."

Looking down at the clothes I had worn for two days, the regret in my heart deepened.

The mother and daughter were talking when Aunt Song came over and sat down without saying hello.

When Song's mother felt someone next to her, she immediately turned her head to look and found that it was her third brother's wife.

"Why are you here? Where is Xia'er?" she asked with her kind eyes as usual.

"Xia'er is with her grandmother. The steamed bread is hard, and the two of them are competing to see who can eat it faster." Aunt Song said sarcastically.

"Hmm?" Mother Song looked in the direction she was looking, and sure enough, she saw Xia'er next to the old lady, both of them breaking off steamed bread and stuffing it into their mouths bit by bit.

"Buy two steamed buns for mom. The old lady has almost no teeth left, so how can she chew cornbread?" She sighed and took out a few copper coins from her clothes and said.

This place is different from the capital. In the capital, you can buy a steamed bun for one copper coin, but on the road of exile, it costs five copper coins to buy one.

When the officials carried the steamed buns out of the city, they would definitely not sell them to them at the original price.

Aunt Song looked at the copper coin in her hand, but did not reach out to take it.

"Sister-in-law, I saw that your bag was torn, and I also saw the clothes you wrapped the silver in fell out." She said while biting the steamed bread.

"Hmm?" Mother Song felt something was wrong and the smile on her face faded.

"You are too unreliable. All the silver in our family is with you. If the clothes had not fallen out because Shen sat down, but fell on the road, would all the silver be gone?" Aunt Song took another bite of the steamed bread and asked in a complaining tone.

"No, this silver is several dozen taels. It will make a noise when it falls out, and you can hear it." Mother Song said, holding the clothes in her hands tightly.

Aunt Song smiled and said, "I just heard that you lost a lot of things. You lost so many things and no one found them. How can you be so sure that you can find the silver if you lose it?"

Song Yuerong bit her lip. She wanted to retort, but didn't know what to say.

Song's mother didn't say anything, she just took out the scattered clothes in the bag and sorted them out one by one.

"I'm not blaming you, I just feel it's not safe to keep so much silver with you. What if what happened just now happens again, and all the silver is lost, will we be able to survive?" Aunt Song said again.

Mother Song sighed, raised her head and asked, "Then tell me, what should we do?"

"What I mean is, why don't we divide the money and give one share to each family." Aunt Song said directly without beating around the bush.

"Are you going to divide the family?" Mother Song raised her eyebrows and asked with the smile on her face completely gone.

"Not really. Isn't it unsafe to keep all the money together? Wouldn't it be safer to divide it into three parts, with each of our families taking one? That way, even if yours is lost, my share and that of my second sister-in-law are still there, so we can still live on." Aunt Song said.

Mother Song's face turned grim. "This money originally belonged to our family. It was saved from the salaries and rewards given to me, Song An, and his father. If you want a share, have you ever given money home? Or has your third son ever contributed much to our family?"

Aunt Song had been trying to negotiate with her, but when she heard what she said, she refused to listen: "Sister-in-law, what you said is too harsh. My husband doesn't have an official position, but he also makes a living. My Song Wen just passed the imperial examination and is only thirteen or fourteen years old. How can he earn money?"

"That's it. The third son of your family makes a living, but he has never paid a penny to the public. All the food, clothing and other expenses of your family over the years have been paid by the public. To put it bluntly, it is your eldest brother who is supporting you. Why, you haven't talked about dividing the family for so many years, and now that the family is in trouble, you want to divide the family?" Mother Song looked at Aunt Song and sneered, her eyes full of contempt.
