Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 279 Family Banquet

After Song Sanniang finished dressing up, she stood up. He Pingdu was wearing black, and she was wearing red tonight.

She rarely wears such gorgeous clothes. She also puts on some heavy makeup. Her eyes sparkle when she looks up and down.

The two people in black and red looked so well matched when they stood together. He Pingdu reached out and held Song Sanniang's hand, kissing the back of her hand.

"Madam, let's go." Song Sanniang looked at him and smiled sweetly, and the two of them walked towards the banquet hall hand in hand.

When the couple arrived, not everyone was there yet. Mr. He was still chatting with a few elders from the clan in his study and had not come over yet. Most of the people present were women.

Seeing the two people coming together, the women started to joke,

"Oh, this third brother has become more stable now that he has a wife."

"you do not say."

"This couple is so affectionate, they even hold hands.

Haha, it would be even better if you could give birth to a child for the He family someday."

"You know what, this couple is a perfect match. The clothes they wear look like a matching set."

"Oh, we are all waiting for the couple to give birth to a beautiful baby, haha."

For a while, all that could be heard were people's jokes and discussions. He Pingdu and his wife also acted like obedient juniors, greeting them and chatting with them.

He Pingdu brought Song Sanniang to an old lady. The old lady had a head full of silver hair and a peaceful face. She looked like a kind elder.

He first bowed to the old lady, then raised his voice and said to her, "Auntie, I am Du Ge'er. I brought my wife to see you. My wife's name is Jixiang. Do you remember her?"

Song Sanniang bowed and greeted He Pingdu, "Hello, Auntie. I am Jixiang. I met you last time when we got married. I really liked the gift you gave me."

The old lady is the widow of Grandpa He's cousin. Although she is in good spirits now, she overused her eyes when she was young to embroider, and now her eyesight is not very good.

She vaguely saw two figures and heard Du Ge'er's voice. She smiled.

"It's Du Ge'er, what a good boy, and Jixiang, Jixiang is a good name. Come, let your aunt feel your bones."

Song Sanniang had never thought that the old lady had such a skill. Although she did not believe in these supernatural things, she put her hand on the old lady's hand out of kindness.

The old lady's hands were dry and wrinkled due to old age, and there were many age spots on the back of her hands, which were the marks left by the years. But her hands were warm. She smiled and kneaded Song Sanniang's hands back and forth.

Song Sanniang was very curious about what she could find out. She had heard of fortune-telling by touching bones, but this was the first time she had her bones touched.

She also heard that one should not tell fortunes easily, as fortune-telling will make the fortune lighter and lighter. In short, this kind of fortune-telling has been passed down from ancient times to the present.

After kneading it for a while, the old lady smiled and said, "This bone is not born to rely on ancestors. It is completely independent to start a family and build a career. It will come when you wait for God's wealth. It will be even more difficult to count the food and clothing in old age.

Jixiang, you are a lion. You can't rely on your family. You have to rely on yourself to build a family and career. You have to work hard when you are young, and you will have abundant wealth and blessings in the future. "

Madam He Er, who was watching the fun, couldn't help but nod her head, "Auntie, you are really right, isn't that the case with my third brother's wife?"

Song Sanniang herself felt that it was somewhat accurate, but the hard days when she was young were not very long.

She really felt that she was blessed by God. Of course, the biggest reason was her own hard work, but meeting He Pingdu was also a gift from God.

Fortunately, she was only thinking about making money at that time. It was also because of her own efforts that she was able to get the help of the He family and get to know He Pingdu.

She thinks that no matter what, the most important thing is to stand up for yourself. If you can't stand up for yourself, you won't be able to seize the opportunities given to you by others, so people still have to work hard to make money.

Money and power are both important. If women cannot get power, they will go to make money. Why do men like to fight for power so much? Because they know that only if they have these things, they will have countless high-quality women to choose from.

Only women trapped in the backyard will try their best to marry a good man and rely on him to live a good life. Their hopes can only be placed on this because men monopolize power.

Only a small number of women will use their advantages to fight for a higher status and to have the conditions to challenge men. And they do so only to maintain their own dignity.

If they need to sacrifice for their parents' family or their husband's family, they will be thrown out mercilessly.

So no matter how much money she makes, she will feel deeply powerless and suffocated when facing those women who are confined to a small world in the backyard by men. This is a society that preys on women.

Song Sanniang collected her thoughts, thanked her aunt, and praised her for her accurate predictions. Some people then wanted to ask her aunt to feel their bones, but unfortunately she refused.

When Mr. He and his party arrived, the family dinner began. All the grown men got drunk during the meal and were helped home by the servants after the dinner.

He Pingdu was no exception. He was supported by Xiao Jinzi and returned to his room. Song Sanniang urged him to wash up and go to bed early.

He was drunk and dazed. No matter what Song Sanniang asked him to do, he would just smile and nod without moving. He would only do what Song Sanniang asked him to do if she pulled him and guided him through the steps one by one.

It took her a lot of effort to give him a bath. He was drunk and his brother fell asleep. Song Sanniang blushed and asked him to wash her clean.

He vaguely remembered how his little brother looked when he was taking a bath in the past. He shouted to Song Sanniang in grievance that it was broken, which made Song Sanniang laugh to death, and she thought he was so cute.

He washed himself casually for a while and was about to fall asleep in the bathtub. Song Sanniang woke him up and asked him to get up and dry himself. He did as she said like a puppet, and after a lot of hard work, he finally lay down on the bed and fell asleep obediently.

Song Sanniang was already sweating from exhaustion. She looked at He Pingdu who was sleeping soundly on the bed, bent down to kiss him, and then went to wash herself.
