Chapter 2132: His Name Is Now Song Le

Aunt Hong patted Song Le's head and nodded. "Yes, that whole area was damaged. Those darn rebels disrupted the peace of the dead. They weren't afraid of retribution."

Oh, they definitely faced retribution. They either died quickly or were caught and exiled, didn't they? None of them met a good end.

"After the rebellion was quelled, we went up the mountain to repair the Hong family's burial grounds. I asked my eldest and second sons to help repair Da shuang's grave as well, but they refused to have anything to do with it. I raised Da shuang by myself, and he had a hard life when he was alive. If his afterlife... How could I face his parents in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Shu You understood. "So, you used your own money to have his grave repaired?"

Aunt Hong nodded. "Yes, you told me back then that the Song family's enemies had been found and were already dead, right? So, I didn't worry anymore. I moved Da shuang's grave to the Song family's burial grounds, and now he's buried alongside his parents."

However, as a result, not only did her eldest son find out that Aunt Hong had some money, but her second son and youngest daughter also learned about it.

All three of them wanted to get some money from Aunt Hong, but she had long known their true intentions. Once she gave them the money, it would lose its value to her. She preferred to keep it and let them try to win her over.

Perhaps because they all knew about each other's intentions, Aunt Hong's children didn't allow her eldest son and daughter-in-law to easily take money from her.

Aunt Hong continued to claim that she had no money, even when her eldest son and daughter fell ill. After all, her own children were her priority, and what could an elderly lady like her do?

Her eldest son resorted to searching her room once again, but he found nothing.

The more they tried, the more they were convinced that Aunt Hong was holding onto a large sum of money.

Afterward, their attitudes changed drastically. Aunt Hong's children became even more "filial" towards her. Her second son's family, who rarely visited after moving out, started coming over often with their children. Her daughter also frequently visited her mother.

However, the more they acted like this, the colder Aunt Hong's heart became.

She hadn't expected that the children she had raised with so much effort would turn out to be like this.

Aunt Hong smiled bitterly as she spoke. "As you can see, today's lively birthday banquet is their way of showing their 'filial piety.'"

Shu Yu didn't know what to say. Sometimes people could be so pragmatic: if you have money, they treat you better; if you don't, you're a burden.

Xiao Songle held Aunt Hong's hand and said, "Auntie, don't be sad. Wait for me to grow up. I'll take good care of you. I'll study hard, pass the imperial examinations, and bring you over then."

Aunt Hong looked at the little boy in front of her and felt comforted.

"Alright, Auntie will wait for you to grow up."

As they were talking, Yu Shi, her second daughter-in-law, and her younger daughter entered and set the food on the table.

When they came in, they noticed that Aunt Hong's eyes were red. Yu Shi spoke up, "Mother, it's such a wonderful day today. Be happy. Look at Gouwa, how well he's living now."

Then, she turned to Shu Yu and said, "Miss Lu, my mother has been thinking about Gouwa for years. She loves him the most."

Shu Yu raised her eyes to look at her and smiled. "His name is Song Le now."
