Chapter 106: Peony
When her mother, Old Lady Song, pulled her like this, Song Sulan suddenly remembered that she had just talked a lot but had not yet asked her elder sister Song Sumei's opinion!
"Sister, what do you think?" Song Sulan sat down next to Song Sumei, holding her hand, and looking at her with particularly bright eyes.
Song Sumei smiled.
Song Sulan had already said everything she wanted to say, and she had no intention of refutation at all.
"Kong Cai won't care. As long as Dani and I are doing well, he won't care so much. It's a good thing to be listed in our Song family's genealogy. The Kong family threatened me with taking Dani off the family tree. Isn't this just a joke? When Dani was born, the old couple of the Kong family always disliked her because she was a girl. They said that her fate was weak and it would be bad to name her too early. They didn't even give her a proper name, let alone put her on the family tree."
Song Sumei curled her lips, her tone full of sarcasm.
"Dad, Mom." Then she called Song Sanfu and Old Lady Song very seriously and expressed her thoughts: "It's better to do it today than to wait for a better day. I will ask the clan leader to put my name and Dani's name back in the family tree. I just want to ask Dad and Mom to give Dani a good name."
Song Sanfu and Mrs. Song knew a little about Dani's name, but the old couple of the Kong family specially hired a fortune teller to tell them that Kong Cai was filial and, because of his business, he believed in ghosts and gods, so Dani's name has been delayed until now. She is only two years older than Song Rending, but she doesn't even have a proper name.
"Okay!" Song Sanfu agreed immediately, then scratched his head and began to think seriously: "Let me think about it carefully first."
The names of the younger generations in the family were all given by Song Sanfu, and now according to Song Sumei's idea, Dani is included in the Song family tree, which means she has to take her surname, Song.
Song Sanfu thought about it, his eyes swept across his three granddaughters, and then fell on this granddaughter. He felt that since they were sisters from the same family, their names had to follow a pattern.
But this granddaughter was treated poorly by her grandparents in terms of name, so naturally the name she gave her had to be more refined.
Thinking about it this way, it feels like racking your brains.
Song Sanfu almost ruffled his hair and kept muttering to himself. Finally, under the urging of Old Lady Song, inspiration suddenly struck him and he came up with a name that he thought was particularly suitable.
"Dear guest!" Song Sanfu said two words.
Old Lady Song thought he was still mumbling, so she said, "Of course they are guests. The girls in our Song family are all guests, not those girls from other families who come to tease their own girls!"
"No," Song Sanfu waved his hand and explained, "Of course the girls in our family are all Jiaoke, but what I mean is that Dani's name is Jiaoke, Song Jiaoke. Jiaoke is also called peony, Jinxue is osmanthus, Jindong is honeysuckle, and Yuedan is camellia. In this way, all the sisters in the family are flower buds. When people say it out, they are all one family!"
Old Mrs. Song didn't quite understand the meaning of the flower in the name that Song Sanfu gave to his granddaughter.
The only thing I know clearly was what I heard when Mr. Qiu commented on Song Rending's name.
But since Song Sanfu said that these were all the names of flowers, and the meaning contained in them did sound like sisters from the same family, Old Lady Song fully supported it.
She even liked to be called "Jiaoke" by Dani.
"The old couple of the Kong family favors boys over girls and didn't give Dani a name. So since we're going to give Dani a name, we should give her the best one! You're right, we should call her Jiao Ke, so that everyone knows that Dani is our family's Jiao Ke. The people of the Kong family don't care about her, but we in the Song family cherish her very much!"
Song Sumei also thought that her father had chosen a good name, so she lowered her head and asked Dani if she liked it.
Having been starved by the old couple of the Kong family and having never been treated well before, Dani knew in her heart that the people in the Kong family did not like her, otherwise they would not have allowed her to be so old without a decent name.
Although she didn't understand what "jiao ke" meant, she remembered that the little girl who used to play well with him was called Jiao Niang. Jiao Niang told her that she was named like that because her grandparents loved her very much.
Nowadays she is also called "Jiao", which means that she is loved and valued by her grandparents at home.
So, how could she not like her own name?
"I like it." Although Dani was still a little timid, the smile on her face was particularly sweet.
Song Sumei hugged her in her arms, kissed her on the cheek, and then carried the newly renamed Song Jiaoke, followed by her parents, to the clan leader's house to discuss the matter of adding her to the family tree.
With Mr. Song Da'an, a juren, around, the clan was naturally able to discuss such a small matter easily. They burned incense and opened the ancestral hall that day, and added Song Jiaoke's name to the family tree.
From then on, there was no more Kong Dani from the Kong family, only Song Jiaoke from the Song family.
After this incident, since the Kong family wanted to make Song Sumei uncomfortable, Song Sumei felt that there was reason to let the Kong family know that Kong Dani had become Song Jiaoke.
So she specially asked someone to write a letter and sent it to the elder of the Kong family who had sent the letter to her at that time.
Song Sumei didn't know what the elders felt after receiving the letter.
But Song Sumei knew very well that after writing and sending the letter, she felt much better.
At this time, the most important thing is to be in a good mood!
The Song family lived in harmony. Song Sumei's affair was resolved successfully, and Song Sulan also successfully moved to the village. The only one left was Song Suzhu, who was lost by her in-laws in her previous life.
But now, there is no news that Song Suzhu's in-laws have bad things to say about her, so even if he wants to go and check on his daughter out of concern for her condition, he can't just go there rashly without any preparation.
If you show up empty-handed, it's easy for people to misunderstand you as a tax collector.
Old Mrs. Song didn't want her daughter to be looked down upon by her husband's family, so she began to prepare gifts carefully, intending to go to the house after everything was ready.
However, she never expected that when she had packed her things and was about to go out to see Song Suzhu with Song Sanfu dressed appropriately, the little daughter got there first and came back with a lot of bags.
Song Suzhu looked in good spirits, and didn't look like she had suffered any injustice at all. After seeing this, Old Lady Song and the others were relieved, at least for the time being.
At least my younger daughter is not mistreated or abused in her husband's family, and she is still healthy.
Especially Old Lady Song, her heart, which had been hanging in the air, fell back into her stomach when she saw her little daughter.
However, her heart fell a little too early after all.
Song Suzhu, whose heart had just settled back into her stomach and who sat down to drink a bowl of water to quench her thirst, suddenly blurt out a thunderbolt.
