Chapter 460 - 458
"Little sister, Mom and Dad wouldn’t harm you. This Old Master Zhao, although he is a bit older, age brings tenderness. Besides, even though he has a wife, she’s become a plain jane, barely in contact within a year. Once you’re married there, just serve Old Master Zhao well, win his heart, and won’t you be just like a chief wife outside? If you don’t tell and he doesn’t tell, who wouldn’t treat you as the lady of the house? Wouldn’t life be so much better than staying in this countryside, eating coarse grains? It was because Mom and Dad love you that they secured such a good match for you. Otherwise, why would none of the other granddaughters get such a good prospective relationship?" Second Sister-in-law of the Song family coaxed Song Chunhua with these words.
People outside the house exclaimed in wonder, "The Song Family really has no shame, to be able to say such things?"
If it were such a good match, they would have given it to their own daughter, wouldn’t they? Would they give it to a younger sister-in-law?
Sure enough, the cries of Song Chunhua came through, "If it’s such a rare good match, as Second Sister-in-law says, why don’t you keep it for your own daughter? My grandniece is also sixteen in a few years and could be spoken for. Since Old Master Zhao is so great, I, as her aunt, am not worthy. Let’s leave it for my grandniece!"
"Head of the household, listen to what she’s saying! We are thinking of her well-being with all our hearts, and she actually speaks of us this way! Back when she returned home pregnant, wasn’t it us, her brother and sister-in-law, who protected and served her so that she could live until today? She gave birth to that nameless bastard, dragging down the reputation of our whole family, making it difficult for our children to be spoken for in marriage. As her sisters-in-law, have we ever said a single word of reproach?"
"Now, to top it off, we’re arranging a good match for her, providing her a secure future, where she can eat the best, wear gold and silver, live a life like the gods, and yet we’re seen as the wrong ones! Life is... impossible... to live like this..." Saying this, the two sisters-in-law of the Song family started wailing.
For a moment, there was weeping and howling in the Song Family house.
Then came Song Tiedan’s furious roar, "Stop your howling! We’ve fed you and raised you, and now all we’re asking is that you marry into another family. Who are you putting on this death-defying act for? And do you dare talk back to your sister-in-law? Your sister-in-law is right, your reputation is already ruined, if you don’t marry out soon, will your nephews still find wives? Will your nieces still get married?"
"Our whole family is now burdened by you. If you still have any shame, if you don’t want to anger me and your mother to death, just marry Old Master Zhao willingly and happily when he comes to collect you. If you keep up this crying and wailing, ruining today’s arrangement, I swear I’ll break your legs!"
