Nine times out of ten things are unsatisfactory

At dinner, everyone in the Song family sat around the same table. When Song Baoling was eating happily, he suddenly remembered Jun Tingsheng's previous explanation. He turned around and met his eyes.

"Ling'er, this is the lily steamed egg you like, eat more."

Song Baichuan took a piece and put it into the bowl, but saw Song Baoling drooping her little head with a glum look on her face.

"You were fine just now, why are you unhappy now? Is the food not to your liking?"

Song Baoling raised her head and looked at him, clasped her fingers together and said a little sadly: "Dad, I miss my mother."

With one sentence, Song Baichuan instantly broke through his guard. Looking at his precious daughter's aggrieved little face, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The old lady felt very distressed when she saw this, and quickly comforted her: "Ling'er, be good, your mother must be watching you in the sky, she will bless you to grow up safely."

Song Baoling pouted as if she was about to cry, looked at the old lady, and then turned to look at Song Baichuan who was silent.

"Dad, I dreamed of my mother during my nap today. She is so beautiful..."

"I have never seen my mother. I... miss her. Dad, can I take my mother's things to bed at night?"

Song Baichuan originally felt sorry for his little daughter, but now that he saw her missing her mother so much, he felt extremely distressed and agreed without even thinking about it.

"Of course, since it belongs to your mother, you can take it if you want."

Seeing this scene, the old lady next to her also echoed: "I remember that the eldest daughter-in-law brought a lot of dowry when she got married. After a while, my grandmother asked people to open the house and let you choose."

Song Baoling's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at her happily: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Grandma can still lie to you."

"Then can I go now? Dad."

Seeing that Song Baoling was happy, Song Baichuan couldn't bear to spoil her happiness, so he stood up and said, "Let's go, dad will take you there."

"Thank you, daddy."

Song Baoling got down from the chair and was about to reach out for Song Baichuan to hug him. Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and made a loud noise because his movements were too hasty.

Everyone turned their attention to her, and she showed a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Brother, it's getting late, why don't you take Ling'er back to the room and wait, and I'll pick it up for Ling'er."

Song Baichuan frowned slightly and refused coldly: "I won't bother my brothers and sisters anymore. I'll take Ling'er to pick it out myself."

With that said, he bent down and picked up Song Baoling. When he was about to leave, he was blocked by Li.

"Brother, I actually don't think it's appropriate to do this. After all, my sister-in-law has passed away. If Ling'er is allowed to sleep holding the deceased's belongings, I'm worried..."

Hearing this, Song Baichuan's face instantly darkened, "What do you mean by the things of the dead? Isn't my wife's dowry off limits to Ling'er?!"

Li was so frightened by him that he took a step back and explained in a panic: "Brother, I misunderstood. I didn't mean that, I just thought..."

Seeing her hesitating and being too nervous to speak, Song Baichuan keenly sensed something was wrong.

The old lady stared at her for a while, then stood up and walked to her, "Li, tell me honestly, are you hiding something from me?"

Mrs. Li trembled all over and raised her head to look at her, "No, how dare your daughter-in-law lie to her about something?"

"Then why do you keep stopping Ling'er from choosing her mother's dowry?"

"My daughter-in-law is not blocking her, she is just worried about the cold night and Ling'er's weak body and cold, so she wanted to go get the things on her behalf."

Song Baichuan glanced at her lightly and snorted: "I will take good care of Ling'er, so my younger siblings don't need to worry."

After that, he hugged Song Baoling and left. Seeing this, the old lady also followed him.

Jun Tingsheng sat on the stool and never spoke a word until he saw Mr. Li following him in a panic, and then he stood up leisurely.

"Let's go and join in the fun."

Cang Mu knew what was going to happen next, and felt that his bad breath was finally coming out, and he followed Jun Tingsheng in a good mood.

"Dad, do you have many things for me?"

"a lot of."

"Then I'll get one, and then I'll get another one for daddy. Daddy... also misses my mother."

This sentence entered Song Baichuan's heart. He missed his beloved wife day and night, but he never showed it on weekdays, but this child could see it.

Song Baoling felt his sadness and couldn't help but feel a little sad. If her mother hadn't had difficulty in giving birth to her, they would be a loving couple now.

Unfortunately, people have joys and sorrows, the moon waxes and wanes, and nine out of ten things in the world are unsatisfactory.

The group of people came to the side room where the dowry was placed. The old lady asked someone to get the key to open it, and then took Ling'er's hand into the house.

"Come on, these are your mother's dowry, take whatever you like."

Looking at the dazzling array of gold and silver jewelry, as well as all kinds of jewelry and porcelain, Song Baoling could guess that these things were worth a lot of money even if he didn't know the goods.

During Song Baoling's selection period, Song Baichuan and the old lady were also walking around, but they soon realized something was wrong.

"I remember that Li'er's trousseau included a set of red jade jewelry. Why are there only earrings and a necklace here, and aren't there two hairpins?"

Upon hearing this, the old lady walked quickly to Song Baichuan, looked at the only earrings and necklaces left in the box, and her expression suddenly changed.

Then, she checked the other objects again and found that there were a lot less scattered items.

"Our house may have been robbed, and many things are missing."

As soon as these words came out, Li Shi, who was hiding at the door, immediately showed up and said, "Mom, this room has been idle all the time. No one comes in or out on weekdays. I don't know when the things were lost."

"I can't say for sure. A thief slipped in a few years ago, but we didn't notice it."

Although Li's words made the old lady suspicious, there was no evidence at the moment, so she had no choice but to say to Song Baichuan: "It's my mother who didn't look after it for you. Don't worry, my mother will find someone to find all the lost things tomorrow."

Song Baichuan frowned. These were all things left by Li'er. He thought they would be passed on to Ling'er in the future, but he didn't expect this to happen.

He turned to look at the little person next to him, sighed helplessly, and then hugged her, "Ling'er, did you find what you were looking for?"

Song Baoling hugged his neck and shook her head gently, then tilted her head and asked: "Is the hairpin that daddy mentioned just now something that mommy used to like very much?"

"Dad, can I have Ling'er?"

Jun Tingsheng next to her curled her lips silently. This little girl is quite clever despite her big and small appearance.

Just when Song Baichuan didn't know how to answer, someone hurried in and said, "Sir, Shopkeeper Zhou from Baoji is here."

"What is he doing here at this hour?"

The servant turned his head and glanced at Mr. Li, and whispered: "Shopkeeper Zhou said... he came to the Second Young Mistress to ask for money."
