Song Jinwen glanced at his two pitiful sons beside him.

"What else can I do? It was your mother who wanted to leave. Now that your grandparents have spoken, can Dad still disobey them? But don't worry, once your mother receives the divorce letter, maybe she will come back obediently."

"What if mother doesn't come back?" Song Changzhu asked.

“I won’t come back…”

Song Jinwen was stunned. He had always given in to her and worked hard for her all these years. If she still refused to come back, it meant that Ma really didn't want to live with him anymore. In that case, there was no need for him to care about their relationship as husband and wife.

"If you don't come back, Dad will find you a stepmother!"

After saying this, he walked out of the yard and headed towards the private school to ask Zhuang Ziang to help him write a letter of divorce.

Song Changzhu looked at Song Fulai, feeling extremely anxious.

"Brother, what should we do?"

After all, Song Fulai is seven years older than Song Changzhu, and he is married and has children, so he is more stable.

"After all, it was Mom's fault first. Don't worry. I think Mom will come back. Even if she refuses to come back, Grandpa and Grandma and my three uncles and aunts won't agree with her. It's better for us not to get involved, so as not to ruin Dad's business."

After hearing his words, Song Changzhu seemed to feel a little relieved.

Song Jinwen acted very quickly. He asked someone to write the divorce letter and sent it to the Ma family that afternoon.

……

Song Yuntang and Xu Qingye drove the mule cart towards the town.

She glanced in the man's direction from time to time. His profile was very handsome, with a high nose, deep eyes, a strong and smooth jawline, and further down, there was a prominent Adam's apple.

Seeing this, Song Yuntang suddenly felt his throat a little dry and moved away.

Xu Qingye felt that Song Yuntang's eyes looking at him were a little unusual, and he couldn't help but glance in her direction, "Did my mother-in-law and the others say anything to you?"

Song Yuntang looked at the scenery around him and didn't dare to look in his direction.

"They asked me to give you a baby as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Xu Qingye pursed his lips.

"You're still a child yourself, don't worry."

Song Yuntang raised an eyebrow and looked back at him. "Although I also think it's too early to talk about having a baby now, I'm already sixteen, and I'll be seventeen after the New Year. Mr. Xu, can you please stop treating me like a child?"

It was a rare sight to see her being so playful, so Xu Qingye smiled.

"it is good."

Song Yuntang pursed his lips and continued to look at the scenery around him. He seemed to be in a good mood.

The carriage went straight to the town, and Song Yuntang went directly to the grain and oil shop, spent another hundred taels of silver, and bought two hundred stone of brown rice to bring back to the farm.

Including the grain collected previously, the village now has 800 dan of grain stored.

Now I can focus on the opening of Huajianzui.

After doing all this, it was already past noon. The two did not stay at the farm for long. They said something to Song Jinsheng and drove the mule cart directly back to Lushan Village.

When I got home, Jiang was washing rice and preparing to cook.

"Tang'er and Qingye have returned home."

Song Yuntang jumped off the mule cart and asked, "Mom, have you cleaned up the pig offal we brought back from Uncle's house?"

"After your father and Wencheng cleaned it inside and out, I blanched the star anise and Sichuan peppercorns as you instructed and placed them on the kitchen stove."

After hearing this, Song Yuntang ran to the kitchen and said, "Then I'll go take a look. I'll cut some more and fry them later, and send some to my grandparents and uncle's house."

Xu Wencheng heard the noise, came out of the house, and followed Song Yuntang's voice into the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law, the herbs you asked me to grind have already been ground into powder, why haven't you used them yet?"

Song Yuntang took out the pig intestines and placed them on the chopping board. As he cut them, he said, "Don't worry. Let's make some tonight after dinner. You have to help me when the time comes."

There are still four days left for delivery, and the raw materials are ready now, so there is still time.

Xu Wencheng nodded excitedly.

"Help, I will definitely help."

In the evening, Song Yuntang fried a large bowl of pig intestines. Red peppers and green garlic were dotted in the pig intestines covered with sauce, and the color was extremely bright.

She took two bowls of noodles and divided two bowls of pig intestines between them.

Seeing this, Jiang stretched her neck and shouted, "Wencheng, send two bowls of pig intestines to your grandparents and uncle's house first, otherwise they will be cold."

After that, he took two rice bowls and covered the pig intestines to prevent the food from getting cold.

"Hey, here we come."

Xu Wencheng put two bowls of pig intestines in a basket and ran out.

Seeing him being so careless, Jiang quickly reminded him, "Slow down, don't spill the food."

"Don't worry, Mom, I can't spread it."

Before he could finish his words, the voice had already drifted away and the person had long since disappeared.

Song Yuntang glanced outside the room and said, "Wencheng is really fast."

Jiang shook her head helplessly.

"He's just a person who can't sit still." He turned to look at Song Yuntang, "Did Qingye accompany you back to your parents' home today?"

Song Yuntang nodded, "I went back and brought a lot of things with me."

Jiang stuffed a piece of firewood into the stove.

"After all, they are your biological parents and brothers, so it's only right that you bring some things back. Speaking of which, your mother isn't a completely bad person, so you should still keep in touch with her family. As time goes by, people's true nature will be revealed. Perhaps after a few visits and getting to know each other better, the previous conflicts will fade."

Song Yuntang poured water into the pot and used a bamboo brush to clean the pot where he had just fried the pig intestines.

"Just get to know each other as relatives. If you get too familiar with each other, it will easily lead to conflicts. It's good like this."

Jiang hummed, looked at her and asked, "I heard your sister-in-law is pregnant. I'm afraid she will give birth by the end of the year?"

Song Yuntang nodded.

"Six and a half months."

Jiang sighed, "Giving birth is like going through hell for a woman. I hope she'll be safe and sound during the birth." Then she asked, "Is your second brother also of marriageable age?"

Song Yuntang poured the water used to wash the pot out of the house and said, "He's eighteen. My mother recently found a matchmaker to propose marriage to him, but I stopped her."

Jiang was puzzled. "Is the marriage you're talking about not working?"

"No, my second brother is not satisfied." Song Yuntang put the pot back on the stove and added two scoops of water into it again. He used the residual heat in the stove to warm it so that he could wash the dishes after dinner.

"My second brother wants to find someone who can live a down-to-earth life. I'm afraid I'll have to find one for him when the time comes."

Jiang nodded. "You've always been prudent in your work, and your second brother has been helping you on the farm. It's okay for you to pay more attention, but don't take on all the big and small things yourself. It will tire you out."

Song Yuntang knew that Jiang said this for her own good, so she smiled and said, "I know, I told my mother today. I will be responsible for finding a second sister-in-law for my second brother, and they will have to handle the rest on their own."

The two were talking when Xu Wencheng hurried home. Before he entered the yard, he heard Xu Wencheng's voice coming from outside the yard.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, come with me to uncle's house! Hu'er fell from a tree and got hurt. His head is covered in blood!"
