After completing the errand assigned by Qiao Lan, Mrs. Song returned to the yard in a happy mood. She found her in front of Qiao Lan's house and said softly, "Old madam, I'm back."
"You're back, how's it going?" Qiao Lan asked as she put down her pen after writing the last stroke.
Not having to farm these days, Qiao Lan concentrates on sorting out farm books.
"Old madam, everything is done. If they talk again tomorrow, I will follow and ask."
"Thanks a lot."
"These are all my duties. Madam, you don't have to be so polite." Mrs. Song handed over the errand and quietly exited the room, the smile on her face still fading.

The Song family was carefully cultivated by a large family and knew all the rules in the big house by heart. People nowadays were not allowed to talk about their master behind his back.
Although He Lanfeng is the master of her family, but when their family works in the Duan family, the Duan family is her master, and Qiao Lan is even more important. Mrs. Song still couldn't help but close the door and talk to Mo Qi
He clearly told what happened today.
In the Song family's view, the old lady was knowledgeable and her knowledge was comparable to that of the officials in the court. She would increase the production of grain in the fields and her methods were comparable to those of gods.
Putting aside her knowledge and skills, compared with other old ladies, the old lady is still an excellent elder. She never rubs against her daughter-in-law, and her grandchildren are just as good as a bowl of water.
She has been in the Duan family for several years, but she has never seen the old lady punish anyone, and she has never even said harsh words to her on weekdays. No matter what kind of family she is in, she is an extremely rare elder to see.
As time goes by, no matter what Qiao Lan does, it will always have its own halo in Song's eyes, and what is good. Even if Qiao Lan doesn't do it well, Song can find reasons for Qiao Lan in her heart and automatically make up for the conditions.
.
Besides, today’s money-dropping thing was also the old lady’s idea.
"...I've been thinking about this all afternoon, and I think the old lady's move is really great. If they talk about the government office again tomorrow, I will go find them and lead them to talk about money..."
"...Even if someone is interested, if there is a gap in the silver, it doesn't match anyone's, and no one can take the money away..." Mrs. Song said slowly.
The broken silver was twisted under Mrs. Song's watch. Even if those old women wanted to come forward and claim it, the gap might not be right. If someone insisted on claiming it, Ms. Song wouldn't mind solving the trouble directly.
At the end, he complained, "The old women in this city all look well-dressed, but their lives are not very easy, not even as good as those in the country. They have a few fields of their own, and they can spend their free time farming."
time……"
The couple were lying on the bedside talking about these words. After listening to this, Mo Qiming echoed a few words, "These old women are indeed a bit annoying... I just hope that the third and fourth masters can go home quickly, and we can also come home soon."
Click to go to Beijing."
Mo Qiming's mind gradually wandered.
Apparently her husband didn't listen to what she said, and he only wanted to return to the capital! Mrs. Song rolled her eyes at her husband beside her, turned around, gathered the quilt and fell asleep.
Not enough words to speculate!
-
Qiao Lan didn't know what Song was thinking, and the Duan family didn't even know what Song had done under Qiao Lan's guidance.
The next day, at a familiar time, the old women who were idle at home got together on time to chat. What they were discussing today was not the case in Tongzhou, but who lost the money yesterday.
Mrs. Song stood in the corner of the courtyard and listened for a while, then went to work with peace of mind. The old ladies could talk on their own without her taking any action.
Unexpectedly, on the third day, someone actually knocked on the door.
"Is anyone here? Is Sister-in-law Song here?" The old woman's hoarse voice sounded along with the knock on the door.
Ms. Liu was close to the courtyard gate, so she went over and opened the door.
I saw an old woman standing in front of her house, followed by a couple. The appearance of the old lady and the man were very similar, and they looked like a family.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" Ms. Liu asked.
The old woman had never had any dealings with the Duan family. She only knew that this family had recently moved to the alley. They also had horses at home, so they should be well off.
Seeing Mrs. Liu's pretty appearance now, I just thought she was the little daughter-in-law of this family, so she smiled politely and said, "I'm here to see Sister-in-law Song! My family lost a piece of silver at the entrance of the alley a few days ago. I heard people in the alley say that Song
My sister-in-law found it, so I will come to ask about it."
Ms. Liu didn't know these things, so she nodded. Since her husband was there, she couldn't invite the whole family to the courtyard. "Aunt, wait, I'll call Sister-in-law Song."
"Hey!" the old woman responded, her face full of kindness.
When Mrs. Liu found Mrs. Song, Mrs. Song was busy in the kitchen. When she heard this, Mrs. Song felt a little surprised on her face. Someone really came to claim her?
"Sister-in-law Song, go and take a look, this whole family is here."
Mrs. Song wiped her hands, replied, and went to the entrance of the courtyard.
Seeing Mrs. Song coming over, the old woman greeted her warmly with a smile on her face, "Sister-in-law Song, please help me pick up the money."
"That money was given to the child by relatives from my daughter-in-law's family. I didn't know this happened. The child was young and couldn't hold things in his hands, so he threw them away. Thanks to you!" Old woman!
The man told the whole story and motioned to the woman behind him.
The woman smiled and nodded.
Mrs. Song did not rush to expose it, but asked calmly: "What about the other half of the silver? Half of it has been taken away, and there should be half left. You have to bring it to me and let me have a look, so that I can feel relieved, and then I can use this money."
Leave it to you."
The old woman smiled dryly, "It's a coincidence that after the relatives came to divide the money, they immediately spent it. I asked someone to inquire yesterday, and the shopkeeper who collected the money took back half of the money.
It’s been hanged, this money has been hanged, there’s no way to recover it…”
It turns out that no one has come for two days. They were at home trying to say something!
Mrs. Song said with a smile on her face, "Then do you know how much the silver that fell on the floor is? Only if you are right can I believe that the silver is yours."
Ms. Song herself didn't know how much the money was, and she didn't believe that the woman in front of her could know.
The old woman immediately stammered, "This... my in-laws didn't say..."
The man standing behind the old woman took a step forward, glared and frowned and said angrily, "I said you woman, you picked up the money that was thrown away from my house and didn't give it back to us. Instead, you made things difficult for us at the door! Don't you want to give us the money?"
You want to steal my money! Originally, I planned to thank you, but if you want to embarrass others like this, I will be rude to you!"
Mrs. Song is not a weak-tempered person, nor will she be intimidated by a few words.
Since people are coming to grab money, don't blame her for being rude!
He immediately put his hands on his hips and sneered, "The masters in the government office always pay attention to personal evidence and physical evidence when trying cases. You just said that this money is yours. If this money is really yours, why don't you even know how much money was lost?"
