On the eighth day of September, when Song Yun was looking forward to his fourteenth birthday, the Su family was indeed very lively.

Su Lu was a man who knew how to have fun and was willing to spend money. He not only set up several tables for family banquets, but also specially ordered a new play for the family, men, women, old and young, to have a whole day of fun.

Song Yunpan was even more merciless in accepting the gift.

What Mrs. Su gave me was a set of Nanzhu head noodles. The Nanzhu beads used were crystal clear and full. It looked like a rare good thing at first glance.

Ladies and grandmothers also sent clothes, jewelry, shoes, socks, and cloth.

However, the second wife's gift was particularly valuable, a pair of full-body green jade bracelets. It was probably because she was very satisfied with Song Yunpan's unblinking gaze every time she saw Su Heng since the last time she knocked on them.

Song Yunpan felt a little bitter, but he still thanked her with a smile and accepted the bracelet.

Others also have gifts.

Su Yu gave her a jade pendant, Su Rong gave her pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Su Lin gave her a fan. In comparison, the eldest sister, Su Xiao and Su Chun, were more attentive - Su Xiao personally embroidered a crooked embroidery for her.

Purse, Su Chun painted a picture.

Even Su Rui, who had been sick these days, had a small straw hut sent to him. The tables and stools inside were all made of straw, which looked very interesting. Su Cong sent a letter; Su Heng sent a set of ten

The jade dolls of the two zodiac signs are each round and chubby, and cute and naive.

Song Yunpan thanked everyone one by one, especially Su Heng, who was extremely polite and didn't even raise his head to look at him during the whole process.

In the evening, Su Che also came back, ordered another play, had dinner, and left in the evening.

Su Jing was delayed due to something at the yamen. When she got home and heard that the banquet was over, she went straight to Jingyuan to greet Mrs. Su.

"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, my cousin is now a fourteen-year-old girl." Su Jing couldn't help but smile and sigh when she mentioned today's birthday.

"Who says it's not the case..." Old Mrs. Su sighed sadly, "When I looked at her today... I felt as if I was seeing your aunt."

The smile on Su Jing's face froze slightly, and after a while, she said softly, "My grandson thought... my grandmother was still angry with my aunt..."

Old Mrs. Su sighed and smiled bitterly, "I know. You think I'm too cold towards Sister Pan..."

Su Jing was silent for a while and then said, "Grandma is kind-hearted. Even the stupid Ah Fu is living well under the protection of grandma, but I see that grandma looks forward to my cousin..."

"Afu is a servant and a fool, how can he compare?" Old Mrs. Su shook her head, "You blame me for being cold to Sister Pan, but you must also understand - what kind of family background does Sister Pan have? Even if she is raised in

Anyone who cares about me will know what kind of family the Song family is if they inquire a little bit... If I praise her too highly, not to mention what your aunts and cousins ​​think, I am just looking forward to my sister.

I can't guarantee that I won't raise her heart and develop a temperament like her mother..."

Su Jing pouted, "Grandma, aunt, she——"

"You don't need to comfort me." Old Mrs. Su waved her hand to interrupt and recalled, "I picked up your aunt on the way to Jiangnan with your grandfather... At that time, your grandfather and I already had your father and two children.

Uncle. Your aunt is the youngest child in the family and the only girl. Your grandfather and I dote on her, and the three brothers above us protect her. We hold her in our hands for fear of falling and hold her in our mouths for fear of melting.

It’s not too much.”

Su Jing nodded, "My grandson remembers... my grandson was still young at that time, and whenever he made his aunt cry, his father would always beat him severely."

"Yes." Old Mrs. Su sighed, "Who can see such a soft and waxy little girl and not feel pity for her? When your father was alive, he loved her the most... But it was because of this that

I spoiled your aunt rotten and developed such a wanton temper..."

"I think there were so many good men who were looking for her, but she didn't like any of them, so she fell in love with your uncle. Because she was afraid that we wouldn't agree, she was so bold as to take advantage of a banquet in the house and make a mistake with your uncle.

About the 'private meeting'..."

Su Jing listened silently, her lower lip pursed tightly.

Old Mrs. Su recalled, "If something like that happened, what else could your grandfather and I do? We had to let her go... We originally thought that your uncle was also a two-ranked Jinshi after all, but his family was poorer. As long as he

If you make progress on your own, and with the help of our family, life won't be too difficult."

"But who would have thought that your uncle is a foolish and filial person... Both of his parents died, and he was raised by his brother and sister-in-law when he was young. When your aunt came to take office, his brother and sister-in-law also went to him. If this couple is

He's just easy to get along with, but his sister-in-law, Mrs. Huang, relies on raising a brother-in-law who is a Jinshi. She thinks that she has great achievements in hard work and often makes pretense in front of your aunt. Even if your aunt is pregnant with her son, she still has to live with her every day.

You set rules in front of her... but your uncle didn't even say a word for her."

Su Jing's handsome face looked very cold under the light... He whispered, "These... my grandson has never heard you mention it."

Old Mrs. Su sneered sadly, "Mention? She chose this path herself, how can she have the nerve to mention it? These are the things the servant who went to deliver the boxing gifts came back to say."

"Your aunt was bullied by Mr. Huang and was depressed all day long. She passed away a few years after giving birth to Sister Pan. Later, your uncle also drowned and had to leave the little Sister Pan to the care of his brother and sister-in-law.

"Old Mrs. Su gritted her teeth and said, "But what do you think? The elder son of the Song family unexpectedly got into the bad habit of gambling at some point. Not only did Huang not stop him, he also took the dowry your aunt left for Sister Pan to pay for him.

What a loss! In just one or two years, the parents-in-law actually squandered all your aunt’s dowry. Poor sister Pan, who is not even as tall as the cooking pot, has to step on a stool to cook for a large family. Such a black-hearted family

He also wanted to exchange his own niece for money..."

"If your third uncle hadn't been doing business in the south at that time and stopped by to visit... Sister Pan, I don't know what they would have done!"

"You ask me if I am angry with your aunt, of course I am! I am angry that she has no self-respect or self-love. A good daughter of a harem leaves her parents and brothers who love her for a man, and goes to make love to that country woman of the Huang family.

I'm even more angry that she chose this path but didn't take the responsibility to go on, leaving her daughter who doesn't understand anything and suffering in the Song family for her."

"You don't know how thin Sister Pan was when she was just brought home. She only dared to hide behind your third uncle..." The old lady wiped her tears with a handkerchief and choked, "Now that I think about it, I feel so sad.

It hurts so much that it feels like it’s going to break..."
