Chapter 181 Grandmother is Awesome
Song Ci thought that she was an outsider in the whole Song Family. Precisely because of this, she was able to objectively see the facts and speak without fear.
Ahem, not exactly. She truly felt that Song Zhiyuan, this fortunate son-in-law, was quite decent. He had power and influence but wasn’t consumed by power lust. At least, he wouldn’t treat his children’s marriages as transactions.
"...Your father had a thought because he valued that person, not the family background. Otherwise, with his status, does he really need to rope in a poor scholar? And your father has been an official for over twenty years, he’s even become the Prime Minister. Calling him an old fox wouldn’t be wrong. Do you think his judgment of people is off?"
Song Zhiyuan: "..."
Thanks for the compliment, calling me an old fox.
"The person your father has taken a liking to must have some merits, otherwise why would he want such a person as a son-in-law? Your father isn’t a foolish man, and he wouldn’t pick a son-in-law who drags the Song Family down. Oh, naturally, there are cases where the hunter gets pecked by the goose, but that’s something that hasn’t happened yet, right? Who can guarantee that a noble family will always remain prosperous, and who can guarantee that a poor family will always be poor?"
"Grandmother, that’s not what you said earlier." Song Ruqi never knew her grandmother could be so reasonable.
"Oh, are you talking about the different upbringings?" Song Ci took a sip of tea and said, "It’s all about understanding each other. The most important thing is the compatibility between you two. For example, if you say the vase could be used for arranging flowers, he wouldn’t say you can eat the flowers, but instead, he would bring you a bouquet. Two people need to appreciate each other and magnify each other’s strengths, then life won’t be so difficult."
Grandmother’s words were impressive, leaving Song Ruqi dumbfounded.
