Chapter 399: Bringing the Imperial Edict Back to Rongshu Village

On the third day after the imperial edict was issued, Song Yuntang was busy in the clinic when Xu Wencheng ran to the clinic.

"Sister-in-law, someone came from the Song family and said they were looking for you."

"Song family?"

Song Yuntang was puzzled. At this critical moment, shouldn't everyone be busy with work in the fields? Why did they come to the county town to look for her?

"Who is there?"

"My mother only knows the head of Rongshu Village. This is the first time she has met the rest of the people," said Xu Wencheng.

Song Yuntang frowned.

It seems that the person who came has bad intentions.

She looked at Xu Wencheng and said, "You go back first. I'll go home after I finish seeing these patients."

Xu Wencheng nodded, "Okay."

A quarter of an hour later, Song Yuntang packed up and returned home.

The courtyard gate was open. In addition to Song Hongfu, the head of Rongshu Village, there were several elders of the clan.

Song Yuntang stepped into the courtyard and asked, "I wonder why the village head came all the way to see me?"

Seeing people, Song Hongfu and others hurriedly put down the teacups in their hands and stood up.

"Tang girl is back."

Several of them had friendly expressions on their faces, and their kindness made Song Yuntang feel uncomfortable.

"If you have anything to say, please speak directly. I have things to do in the clinic."

Song Hongfu exchanged a glance with several nearby elders, then turned to look at her. "We heard you received the emperor's imperial edict. We came here mainly to take it home and place it in the ancestral hall for worship. After all, you're often away from home, and it's not safe to keep such an important item at home."

The village has enshrined the imperial edict, so others who want to bully them will have to think twice, and their village will be remembered for any good things that happen to it. This is a great thing with no harm and only benefits.

Jiang raised her eyebrows. She knew that there was nothing good coming to her house from these old guys.

"Tang'er has married into our Xu family, so why does the imperial edict still have to be enshrined in your Song family's ancestral hall? Is our Xu family without an ancestral hall or is it just that there are no people left?"

Song Hongfu glanced in her direction. The last time he came, this woman was right next to him and was really noisy and didn't say anything nice.

"Her name is still in my Song family tree."

Song Yuntang raised his eyebrows.

"Why do I remember that the village head had always been using the excuse that I had only been back for a short time as an excuse to not include me in the family tree? Now he's saying I'm in the Song family tree. This is really new. How come I didn't even know when I was included?"

When Song Hongfu heard this, he looked a little embarrassed and chuckled.

"Isn't it because you only stayed in the Song family for a short time and we were worried you'd run back to the Lin family, so we didn't record your name in the family tree? After discussing it with the village elders at the end of last year, we added your name."

As he spoke, he straightened his back a little.

"Many girls in Rongshu Village have never been included in the family tree since they were born. Lin Zhaozhao was never included before."

Song Yuntang had a sneer on his face.

"Is it an honor to be included in the Song family tree? Didn't Song Zhimei also get in? And then what?"

Song Hongfu said hurriedly, "Song Zhimei was included in the Song family tree because Ma begged me for it. After she made a mistake, wasn't she removed from the list? Besides, it's such an honor for a married woman to be included in her mother's family tree. It just shows that people on her mother's side value her, and she can stand up straighter in her husband's family in the future, right?"

His words made Jiang angry.

"It's been over three years since Tang'er returned to Rongshu Village and you haven't registered her in the family tree. Now that she's doing well, you're rushing to register her again. I think you're just visiting with your abacus in hand. It's obvious that you're trying to curry favor with the powerful and bully the weak!"

Xu Yongwang on the side secretly gave her a thumbs up.

The idiom "daughter-in-law" is used very well.

On the second day after his son and daughter-in-law got married, his father asked the village head to register his daughter-in-law's name next to Qingye. It didn't take much effort at all. She had lived in Rongshu Village for more than three years without being given a place. Now she came up again for some benefits. The village head of Rongshu Village was really shameless.

Song Hongfu looked at her unfriendly.

"I'm talking to my daughter from the Song family. Why are you, a woman, butting in?"

Song Yuntang stepped forward.

"This is my home. She is my husband's mother, and therefore my mother as well. Please be respectful when she is speaking to my family. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my back on you and having you kicked out!"

One of the elders pointed at her.

"You're from Rongshu Village, after all. How can you be so ungrateful? We're all your elders, and this is how you talk to them?"

Another person said, "That's right, you looked like a well-educated and well-mannered girl before, how come you became like this after marrying into the Xu family?"

Jiang was so angry.

These people are just being unreasonable!

How can you say that she became like this after marrying into the Xu family?

That was because the girl was kind before and had no one to support her at home, so she didn't bother with them. But these people actually turned the tables and tried to sow discord here.

"Do you really think that all my Xu family members are vegetarians?"

Jiang picked up the broom and hit those people on the head and face.

"You're a dung beetle wearing a mask. I think you're shameless. What has Tang'er become since she married into my Xu family? Why are you gossiping here? What are you planning? Do you really think others can't see it? If you admit it openly, I can still look at you with more respect. Who are you trying to disgust by being sarcastic here?"

When Xu Yongwang saw his daughter-in-law fighting, he hurried forward to stop the fight.

But he didn't stop his wife, but stopped the Song family from fighting with Jiang.

Seeing this, Xu Wencheng also followed suit and stepped forward to "mediate the fight."

This scene really opened Nian'er's eyes.

She had always had the impression that her aunt was gentle and kind, but she didn't expect that she would be so ruthless when fighting.

The elders of the Song family were of high seniority in the village and were usually respected by everyone. But when they were beaten by a woman with a broom, they felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Song Yuntang, are you going to let your mother-in-law bully your family like this?"

Song Yuntang looked at them coldly.

"Since you don't want to save face, let's make it clear."

After hearing this, everyone present stopped what they were doing.

She continued, "Regarding my identity, the official documents clearly state that I have already moved out of Rongshu Village. I don't really care whether I can be included in the Song family tree or not. The village head should have anticipated this when he drove me out of Rongshu Village last year."

"Regarding the matter of the farmland, since we all know each other, I won't make things difficult for Rongshu Village, but I won't give them any backdoors either. As for this imperial edict in my hand, I won't let you take it away. You'd better give up on this idea!"
