Washing Up The little girl sure knows how to make people happy. Song Tingzhu cracked a smile. With Xiaomei and Xia Ge'er around, he felt a bit less troubled. Lunch was cooked by Liu Xiaomei, with Xia Ge'er helping to tend the fire. Song Tingzhu leaned against the sunlight, sunbathing while casting worried glances toward the kitchen. "Sao fu lang, don't worry. I started helping my mom cook when I was four. I'm quite good at it." The little girl skillfully stir-fried the cabbage, and once it was done, she…-

The Second Young Master of the Song Family The cold wind howled, and people hurried along. Inside the Song family's residence, the maids and servants were up early, bustling about. Passing townsfolk stretched their necks to admire the grand courtyard, then hunched their shoulders and disappeared into the biting wind. "Father, Mother, I will not marry! That Liu family from the countryside can't even afford decent clothes, and the betrothal gift they scraped together is only ten taels of silver. If word gets…

Marrying in Place of the Eldest Sister After a night of heavy snow, the once quiet and serene Bamboo Garden looked even more desolate and bleak under the blanket of white. Perhaps it was because of the wind last night, Song Tingzhu's head felt heavy, and even by the time it was mid-morning, he hadn't fully woken up. Granny Liu reached out to feel his forehead and was startled by the scorching temperature. "He Ge'er, quickly go to the East Courtyard to get some money and call for a doctor!" "Okay!" Qing He…

Let's See Who Dares! Lianxi Town, Yunxi Village. "Isn't Liu Dasheng's Huzi supposed to get married today? The sun's almost setting, and there's still no sign of them." "Probably called off. She's a young lady from the prefectural city, always wearing gold and silver. It's no surprise if she doesn't fancy a small family like the Liu's." "I heard that when the marriage was arranged, the Song family hadn't made it big yet. Both families signed the marriage contract, with the village head as a witness. If the…

Accepting the Marriage Liu Cuie jumped up and down, "How dare you! You want to leave a perfectly good girl and choose a half-dead sickly person, are you out of your mind?" This sickly person was just an unloved illegitimate child in the Song family. No one there cared about him. Marrying into the family would not only yield no benefits but might even require spending money to buy a coffin. Only a fool would make such a losing deal! However, Liu Hu was as stubborn as a mule. No matter how much Liu Cuie…

I Don't Regret Ruan Xiulian glared at her son and scolded, "What borrowing? We're all family, why talk like that?" With few men in the family, life was tough when they first split up. The two children were just little ones, yet they had to learn to work with the adults, cutting pig grass in the summer and collecting firewood in the winter. At such a young age, they had already developed calloused hands. She loved both the eldest and the second child like her own. When the eldest daughter-in-law gave birth…

A Bowl of Wild Vegetable Porridge The heavy snow stopped and then started again, looking like it would fall all night long before it was done. Many folks in Yunxi Village still lived in mud houses with thatched roofs, worried they wouldn't hold up and might collapse under the weight of the snow in the middle of the night. So, they got up to shovel the snow off their roofs. Two young men from the Liu family also braved the cold wind, clearing the thick layer of snow that had fallen. "Alright, let's get back…

Grandma Can't Take It At noon, Ruan Xiulian had her eldest daughter-in-law cook some coarse rice and served up leftovers from the day before. She herself went into the kitchen to make some white porridge and boiled eggs, then called her youngest daughter to take them to the west room. "Mom, Xia Ge'er also wants to eat eggs." Xia Ge'er looked up with a small face, tugging at his mom's clothes. "What are you eating for?" Tang Chunxing glanced at the west room, raising her voice, "You're just a countryside…

Drawing a Tiger The next day, the weather was clear. Last night, Song Tingzhu had a good wash and managed to get a rare good night's sleep. Today, he got dressed early and got out of bed, but compared to the rest of the Liu family, he was still quite late. "Sister-in-law's husband, you're up!" Liu Xiaomei was sitting in the courtyard doing embroidery. Seeing him come out of the west room, she happily greeted him. Song Tingzhu supported himself against the wall and slowly walked over. When he saw what the…

Changing Attitude Song Tingzhu lay in bed for a little while, feeling a bit more energetic. Propping himself up against the headboard, he heard voices in the courtyard. He thought it was his mother and sister-in-law coming back from selling vegetables. But then, an unfamiliar voice caught his attention, and he realized a guest had arrived. Judging by the sounds, they were heading towards the west room. He glanced over himself, ensuring everything was in order, and felt at ease. "Sister-in-law's husband,…
