Song Dingxiang [Completed]

C28. Good Calculation.

Chapter 28

Li shi watched the commotion of the two daughters-in-law, couldn't help but rub her temples, then turned to look at Song Dingxiang and asked, "Dingxiang, what do you think?"

Song Dingxiang said, "Brother-in-law's actions are indeed infuriating now, but after all, sister and brother-in-law have a son now... So it also depends on what sister wants. I think sister doesn't need to worry too much, their family is unscrupulous, but just greedy for profit. As long as they know they can't curry favor with Xu Qiang, they will settle down and live peacefully with sister."

She originally wanted to advise separation, but after all, this was ancient times, whether through marrying or being divorced, women did not have it easy. Even if the natal family supported her, they couldn't stand gossip.

Moreover, the Xu family was currently in a good position, causing trouble would only make Song Yulan miserable.

Pausing for a moment, she continued, "What does sister think?"

Song Yulan also had no idea, after all, she had only been married for three years and was not even twenty years old, where would she have so many thoughts?

Li shi sighed, "Look at these two daughters born of the same mother, your eldest just follows her father and knows how to live single-mindedly. Your second one is more clever, but at least she doesn't follow your mother..."

Fang shi was dissatisfied, "Why doesn't she follow my character? I think my second daughter follows me."

Li shi said, "If your second daughter follows you, I'm afraid things would have been even more chaotic before. Lan'er, what your sister said is right, this matter depends on you. Can you handle it and stand firm before deciding your position in the Xu family? Since you have said those things before, I guess the Xu family will be concerned, and Xu Dashan should be coming to pick you up."

As they were speaking, the children playing in the yard suddenly shouted, "Grandma, my brother-in-law is here!"

"See, things happen as they are spoken, right?" Li shi looked at the somewhat bewildered Song Yulan and said, "Don't worry, if he asks you to go back, say you miss your mother and want to stay a few more days. Fang shi, you also say you miss your grandson and want to keep them for two more days, let him go back. Let's see if he will come back later. If he comes to pick her up continuously these two days, then go back, if not, we don't have to fear. What can the Xu family do with an imperial scholar? Xu Dashan has five sets of siblings, and Xu Qiang can't take care of them all."

Just as she finished speaking, Xu Dashan said from outside the door, "Grandma, I'm here to pick up Yulan." After speaking, he lifted the curtain and walked in.

Fang shi looked him up and down, snorted unhappily, and turned her head aside.

Li shi smiled and said, "Arrived? Sit... Dashan, seems like your family is not happy with our Yulan, are they?"

Xu Dashan didn't dare to sit down, and quickly said, "Grandma, what are you talking about? Our family all likes Yulan."

Fang shi huffed, "Of course they like her, they've spent over twenty taels of silver on her these years... if it were up to me, I'd like her too."

Xu Dashan broke out in a sweat, looked timidly at Song Yulan.

Song Yulan, with red eyes, just bowed her head.

Li shi asked again, "Isn't this also a filial piety of my granddaughter? The silver she brought in as part of her dowry, wasn't it to help her live well with you? But Yulan, you are also at fault, it's reasonable for them to give a gift to Xu Qiang, after all, he is a member of the Xu family. The grains produced from your five acres of land were sold for silver last year, just give it to them."
