After Song Shi married into the Yang family, she learned that there was an old grandfather living outside the city.

However, Yang Dagang was not a good household manager. Song Shi had to manage the household in the city while also taking care of the household outside the city. She never told anyone about the hardships and委屈 she endured, silently bearing them all.

In the past, Yang Shouwen was a fool, and it was impossible to expect him to understand any manners.

As a result, every time Song Shi accompanied Yang Chenglie to visit the old grandfather outside the city, she would inevitably be teased by Yang Shouwen.

But she could not react; how could she argue with a fool?

After Yang Dagang's death, someone from the Song family suggested to her to reclaim the land, which would at least make the family's situation better.

Song Shi did not agree, as she believed that the land was left by Yang Dagang for Yang Shouwen.

Later, when Yang Chenglie reclaimed the land, Song Shi secretly took good care of the Yang family. Otherwise, with Yang Shouwen's appetite and his muddled mind, even if the Yang family managed the household well, it might not have been sustainable.

Yang Shouwen never called her 'Mother.'

Today, when Yang Shouwen suddenly changed his address, Song Shi felt somewhat flattered.

Yang Qingnu stood to one side, seeing her mother remain silent for a long time, she wanted to sneak away. But just as she moved, she startled Song Shi.

"Qingnu!"

"Mother."

Don't think that Song Shi couldn't do anything about Yang Shouwen; she had enough authority in the family.

"Who told you those words just now?"

"I..."

"Your elder brother doesn't mind, but I cannot tolerate such rudeness. Remember, in this family, after your father, it is your elder brother who makes the decisions. As the saying goes, the elder brother is like a father. Even though your elder brother used to have some mental issues, he is still your elder brother. Your words just now have disappointed me."

As she spoke, Song Shi's face turned grim.

"Mother, I just feel it's not worth it for you."

Before Yang Qingnu could finish speaking, Song Shi raised her hand and slapped her face hard.

"Whether it's worth it or not is not for you to decide... When you were young, I didn't mind. But now, with so many things happening in the family, your father asked your elder brother to come to stabilize the situation...

Don't think I don't know who taught you these words. I am very clear about it.

I will deal with those who spread rumors. But from now on, you must stay in your room and not step out of the door without my permission. Otherwise, don't blame me for being heartless and cutting ties with you."

In this era, filial piety is a major moral principle.

You might think that Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, killing his brothers and imprisoning his father.

But the more he did so, the more he cared about these matters. Therefore, after ascending the throne, he vigorously promoted the concept of filial piety.

In later generations, there are often such lines in TV dramas and films: "The sage governs the world with filial piety."

In this era, regardless of whether you are male or female, once you bear the reputation of being unfilial, your life is over.

Song Shi's firm attitude frightened Yang Qingnu.

She knelt down in front of Song Shi and cried, "Mother, I know I was wrong."

"Since you know you were wrong, go back to your room immediately."

"Yes!"

Yang Qingnu walked out of the room in fear, but her resentment towards Yang Shouwen grew deeper.

You fool, have you learned to be good? Pretending to be a good person in front of my mother, but making me get scolded by her. Yang Shouwen, you wait, I will take revenge on you. When the time comes, I'll see if you can continue to pretend.

Yang Shouwen shivered and suddenly stopped.

"Older Brother, what's wrong?"

Yang Rui saw him stop and also stopped, looking at him in confusion.

Yang Shouwen scratched his head and smiled, "Nothing, I just suddenly felt a bit uneasy... I guess I'm worried about Father's health.

It's nothing, let's hurry to see Father, don't let him wait too long."

"Older Brother!"

"Yes?"

Yang Rui followed Yang Shouwen, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Qingnu..."

Yang Shouwen laughed and waved his hand, interrupting Yang Rui, "What's the matter! I already said, she's young and speaks without thinking, I won't take it to heart. Second Brother, no matter what, you and she are my siblings. We are of the same blood, and as the elder brother, how could I hold a grudge against a little girl?"

Seeing Yang Shouwen's sincerity, Yang Rui finally felt relieved and sighed.

"Qingnu is spoiled by Father! Older Brother doesn't know, Father loves her even more than he loves me."

"Ha, are you jealous?"

"Of course not!"

Yang Rui blushed and shook his head to deny it.

But his 'this is not the case' attitude revealed his true feelings, making Yang Shouwen laugh out loud.

The two brothers walked into the backyard, and Yang Shouwen saw Yang Molì sitting by the door of a room, lowering his head and turning the laundry mallet in his hands. Hearing the footsteps, Yang Molì looked up. Seeing Yang Shouwen, his simple face immediately broke into a bright smile.

"Master, you're here."

Yang Molì stood up and said in a deep voice.

It was clear that he was very happy.

Yang Shouwen smiled and walked up, patting his arm.

"Molì, this time, I owe you a lot."

"It's Yang Molì."

Before Yang Shouwen could finish speaking, Yang Molì solemnly reminded him.

"Right, it's Yang Molì, Yang Molì."

Yang Shouwen couldn't help but laugh and then turned to look at Yang Rui.

"Older Brother, why are you looking at me?"

"Are you thirteen this year?"

"Almost fourteen!"

Yang Rui puffed out his chest, proudly and confidently answered.

"Yang Molì is just thirteen this year."

Yang Shouwen looked up at Yang Molì, then looked down at Yang Rui, and suddenly burst into laughter, stepping onto the porch.

Yang Rui didn't understand the meaning of Yang Shouwen's words at first, but after thinking about it, he immediately realized.

Is he mocking my height?

It felt like a thousand horses were galloping through his mind. Yang Rui stood there, looking at Yang Molì, who was more than a head taller than him, and suddenly said to Yang Molì, "Molì, if I ate as much as you every day, I would definitely be taller than you."

Yang Molì didn't understand the joke between the brothers, but after hearing Yang Rui's words, he said in a simple and serious tone, "I'm Yang Molì, not just Molì. Second Brother, you called me wrong just now."

This is ridiculous!

Seeing Yang Molì's serious face, Yang Rui was speechless.

I must be crazy, arguing with a fool like him. If this gets out, I don't know what people will think...

The door was slightly ajar.

Yang Shouwen walked to the door and gently knocked.

"Is it Xizi?"

Yang Chenglie's voice came from inside, slightly hoarse.

Yang Shouwen quickly replied, "It's your son."

"Come in."

Yang Shouwen quickly opened the door and stepped into the room.

The room was well-lit.

Yang Chenglie was lying on his side on the bed, with thick cushions under him and wearing a moon-white shirt. The shirt was half open, revealing the bandages wrapped around his upper body. Seeing Yang Shouwen, he immediately smiled warmly.

"Xizi, come and meet the County Magistrate."

On the mat next to Yang Chenglie, a man was sitting upright.

He wore a headband, a blue robe, and was slightly plump but exuded a refined air.

He looked to be around thirty, with a rather handsome and sexy mustache, and a gentle and elegant smile.

County Magistrate?

Is he the County Magistrate Wang He who has been in office for three years but has never returned home to visit his family?

Yang Shouwen was not very familiar with this County Magistrate Wang He, but he had heard from Yang Rui that he came from a prestigious family, the Taiyuan Wang clan.

Speaking of the Taiyuan Wang clan, they were as famous as the Yingyang Zheng clan, both part of the Five Surnames and Seven Clans... Although in recent years, under the suppression of Empress Wu Zetian, the influence of the Five Surnames and Seven Clans had weakened, for many ordinary people, the Taiyuan Wang clan and the Yingyang Zheng clan were still unattainable.

However, Yang Shouwen felt that this County Magistrate Wang had a certain indescribable quality.

He quickly bowed, "Commoner pays respects to the County Magistrate."

In ancient times, county officials were called 'parents' or 'old parents.'

County Magistrate Wang smiled, "I have heard of the name of the eldest son for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet him today... County Magistrate Yang, you are wrong. The behavior of the eldest son is not as bad as you described. With such a fine son, you should have introduced him to others earlier."

No parent dislikes hearing praise for their children.

Yang Chenglie also couldn't help but laugh, "County Magistrate, you flatter me."

"Alright, seeing that County Magistrate Yang is fine, I am relieved. The county office is in chaos now, so I cannot stay here for long. I will take my leave first."

Wang He finished speaking, stood up, and bowed to take his leave.
