Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 161: Aunt and Sister-in-law Talk

Going up the stairs to the second floor, you can see the living room and balcony on the second floor. The living room is different from the one on the first floor. There is no sofa in the living room on the second floor because Song Sanniang thought that the second floor would be for Si Niang and her children to play.

On the right side of the living room was a large apricot-colored rattan carpet, the same as the one on the first floor. On the carpet was a large low table, with a few ginger-colored round cushions on both sides.

On the right side of the living room was a low, long table, on which were placed some colorful pottery figurines that children liked. The wall above the table was painted with a picture of pear blossoms and tits.

There is a round window with a grille on the upper left and right corners of the wall. A branch extends out from the right round window. The long branch has seven or eight branches, and each branch has several white pear flowers in full bloom.

The branches extend all the way to the window on the left. Two naughty tits are standing in the middle of the branches, looking up and singing. This picture is both freehand and interesting.

The living room leads to the balcony. Standing on the balcony and looking into the distance, the rural scenery is like a vivid picture scroll. Although there are no crops in the fields, the surrounding green grass is full of vitality, and the clear stream is gurgling.

There are three rooms on the left side of the second floor. One faces the front yard of the Song residence, and two face the back yard and Lotus Mountain. They are adjacent to each other. The fourth lady's room is near the stairs, and the fifth lady's room is in the corner.

The ground floor is all paved with polished bluestone bricks. The second floor is paved with wooden floors except for a terrace on the right.

At first, Song Sanniang was worried about the floor rotting due to moisture, but the masters thought she didn't believe in her skills and tried to prove it to them.

Before laying the floor, they leave a moisture-proof layer of more than one meter, use solid wood flooring as the floor, finish it with tung oil, select high-quality wood for the floor, and also take waterproof and anti-corrosion treatment.

Thinking about the fact that the ancients used to sit on wooden floors, and that the craftsmanship of laying wooden floors has been preserved for such a long time, Song Sanniang put her worries behind her.

In fact, the layout of the rooms in the house is similar. When you enter Si Niang's room, there is a wardrobe against the wall on the left. Next to the wardrobe is a bunk bed. Next to the bunk bed is a dressing table. Next to the dressing table is a window that can see Lotus Mountain.

Si Niang and Wu Niang didn't know that there was a bunk bed in the room. They thought that the two sisters slept in bunk beds like in the store.

Although they still like bunk beds, the thought of sleeping alone is still a bit novel to them.

Wu Niang's room also has a wardrobe on the left side of the door, a bed in the middle, and a dressing table by the window. Now everyone's room is only furnished with simple furniture, and as they live there for a long time, they will naturally have more things.

There are few things, but the room is very spacious, so the room looks a bit empty.

Coming to Song Sanniang's room, there are two rooms, front and back. Song Sanniang's room is in the front, because she likes balconies, so her room has a balcony.

There is a wardrobe on the left side of the door, a bed in the middle, and a dressing table next to the bed. However, next to the dressing table is a sliding floor-to-ceiling wooden door, which leads to the balcony.

Song Sanniang placed a rocking chair on her balcony. She could sit on the balcony and read books to kill time.

Opposite Song Sanniang was a guest room, which was prepared for Qin Yuanyuan to sleep in. Of course, she could also sleep in the guest room next to Si Niang and Wu Niang.

The wardrobe is against the wall when you enter the guest room, and the bed is placed in the middle. Because the water cannot flow up to the second floor, there is no toilet on the second floor.

At the end of the corridor between the two rooms is a staircase going down. Walking down the staircase, you will instantly feel a sense of openness. Here is a large open-air terrace.

A solid wood outdoor double rocking chair swing is placed on the right side of the stairs. There is a pavilion in the upper right corner of the terrace, which contains a round table and ottomans for people to rest.

A whole row of green plants is placed along the base of the fence on the left side of the terrace for decoration. Standing on the terrace, you can have a panoramic view of Songjia Village, including the rolling and quiet Lotus Mountain in the back, the continuous fields in the front, and the scattered houses of Songjia Village.

The handrails of the terrace fence were made very wide. Some bold aunts even sat on the fence to chat. There were also people sitting in the pavilion. Looking from the terrace, there were people walking around in the large area of ​​the backyard.

Everyone was visiting and chatting in the Song residence with great interest. The eldest and second oldest Songs were entertaining the elders of the village in the living room on the first floor. Mrs. Song was being talked to by Song Liniang and the others.

Song Ersao and Song Sanniang were talking to Song Ergu and Song Sangu in the room of Song Laoer and his wife.

Second Aunt Song and the others were very curious about how the second brother's family suddenly became so rich, why they hadn't seen their eldest sister-in-law, and why the family suddenly split up. They had a lot of questions.

Second Aunt Song was the first to ask, "What's going on? Why did the family suddenly split up? And why didn't we see the eldest sister-in-law today?"

Song Ersao and Song Sanniang looked at each other after hearing this. Song Ersao sighed and said, "You know that my mother-in-law has always been unhappy because I didn't give birth to a son.

Before the separation, Sanniang was ill. She went to see a doctor but was not cured. My husband and I wanted to cure Sanniang. My sister-in-law probably didn't want us to spend money, so she wanted us to take the money and separate from the family."

The second sister-in-law of Song explained the whole story of the division of the family, and also told about the changes in the family and sending the eldest sister-in-law of Song to the nunnery.

Aunt Song had a hot temper. After hearing this, she slammed the table and said angrily, "That woman is such a disaster. She has brought this upon our family. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have ended up like this with mother. Fortunately, my eldest brother is clear-headed."

There is a kind of people who are very kind. Even if they are bullied, they will feel sorry for the person who is not doing well. Song Ergu is such a person.

Compared to Song Sangu's indignation, she felt a little sorry for Song Dasao: "She is a little pitiful now."

Song Sanniang looked at her second aunt in surprise. Song Ersao said nothing.

Song Sangu couldn't help but said, "Sister, have you been bullied by that woman and become stupid? Have you forgotten what she did to us before?

If it weren't for Dad's decision, we wouldn't know what would happen to us if we were harmed by that woman. Wait until she sells us to a brothel and you'll be obedient."

Song Sanniang wanted to laugh when she heard this. Song Ergu was speechless. She was a bit soft-hearted, so the husband chosen for her by Old Master Song was also an honest one, so that she would at least not be bullied too badly.

However, Song Sangu also knew her sister's character and did not argue with her. After all, her sister had taken care of her, helped her with work, and shared her food with her.

Mrs. Song smiled and said, "Second sister, third sister, don't blame me for speaking harshly. In fact, I am quite grateful to her. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I would still be working like a slave at home. How could I have the good life I have now?"

Second Aunt Song and Third Aunt Song were silent for a moment. Although Second Aunt Song did not mention Mother Song, they all knew that their mother had contributed to the difficult life of their sister-in-law.

Seeing that the two were silent, Song Ersao told them her plan, "Looking at what my eldest brother meant, he will not let her out until Dalang and Erlang get married, so the marriage of Chunhua and Qiushi falls on our shoulders.

Dalang and his friends are scholars, so they are not in a hurry. It would be right to talk about marriage after they pass the imperial examination.

To be honest, Chunhua and Qiushi must be resentful of me. If I were to take care of their marriages, they probably wouldn't appreciate it. Now that you two are here, I think it's most appropriate to leave this matter to you."

Aunt Song nodded and said, "You are right, but those two girls have learned a lot from my sister-in-law. I am afraid they will bring disaster to other families."

Aunt Song thought for a moment and said, "Let's keep an eye on this matter first, and then tell Big Brother when we find a good candidate."

After Song Ersao handed the matter over, she felt relieved.
