Chapter 103 For a Woman

After looking at the house, several people went their separate ways.

Song Rui and her family of three were not in a hurry to leave.

She took the design drawings and explained the design to Ling Ye.

If she leaves the decoration to him, she won't have to run here every day.

But we can't let Ling Ye and the decoration team do whatever they want.

She repeatedly emphasized that it is necessary to follow the design drawings.

Ling Ye agreed, and looked at the design drawings over and over again in his hands, and finally asked: "Did you draw all these drawings?"

After taking sketching classes, Song Rui often practiced at home.

Now I can draw the design drawings of houses with ease.

Not only did I draw flat pictures, I also drew color renderings.

She drew her ideal house on paper exactly as she wanted.

Ling Ye looked at it, feeling a little dazed.

"Why aren't there bugs crawling?"

Has that much time passed?

No.

How did it go from being a bug to becoming a home?

Song Rui snorted proudly.

"If you are like a bug for one day, can you always be like a bug? As long as you are willing to learn, you will definitely get better and better!"

Ling Ye said nothing and walked back and forth in the room looking for work to do.

Song Rui could see that he was thinking about something and didn't say anything.

After a while, he turned his back and asked, "What do you think about me learning Russian?"

Song Rui was a little surprised. He actually took the initiative to suggest learning Russian?

"None of you speak Russian. How do you do business over there?"

"Just gesture."

Ling Ye rolled up his sleeves and said while picking up the sundries left by the workers: "No one knows how to do it, so don't laugh at each other. Let's practice together. One person wants to make money, and the other wants to buy supplies. We will understand after practicing a little."

"You don't know, every time the train arrives at a station, the platform is like break dancing, with arms flailing everywhere."

When Song Rui thought of Ling Ye also breakdancing among them, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

Ling Ye turned around and glanced at her, "I won't show you how to do it. I'm just responsible for collecting money and delivering goods."

"I just thought, if the factory is established and the shipment volume is large, I can also find local big buyers and sell in large quantities, and then I can earn more."

Song Rui thought it was feasible.

Regardless of whether you can negotiate with a big buyer or not, it is always better to have more skills.

What if it comes in handy someday?

"This is a good idea. You are worthy of being the head of the family and Nan Nan's father."

Song Rui smiled and started praising, her tone sounding like she was praising Nan Nan, with an accent of coaxing a child.

Ling Ye glanced at her unhappily, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

In fact, he had another reason that he didn't tell me.

Watching Song Rui's progress, he always felt a sense of urgency.

It seems like if I don’t hurry up and work harder, I’ll be left behind.

He doesn't want to be the one lagging behind.

He must be the strongest pillar of the family.

If a man doesn't earn as much as the woman in his family, what kind of man is he?

After packing up their belongings, the family of three took a taxi back home.

It was a rare moment of leisure, so the three of us gathered together to watch TV and chat, and before we knew it, it was dark.

There was no conversation that night. When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright.

The second day of the first lunar month is the day when married girls return to their parents' home.

Song Rui had no intention of going back and still stayed in bed.

In the winter in Northeast China, the mornings in the bungalows are always freezing cold.

The warmth in the kang dissipated, and only a little remained in the quilt.

Song Rui pressed the edges and corners tightly, holding on to the warmth and unwilling to get up.

Ling Ye was very hot-tempered and didn't feel how cold it was.

But seeing that Song Rui had wrapped herself up like a quail, he still got up and took the initiative to heat the kang.

When the weather gets warmer, we can move.

The days of heating the kang first thing after waking up are getting shorter and shorter.

After breakfast, Ling Xiu came back with Cui Niannian and some fruits.

Cui Mingzhi, like in previous years, still did not show up.

After the family split up, He Jinyan changed her mind and it didn't matter whether she came back or not.

Anyway, whether it’s spending money or taking things, it’s the old couple’s business.

Considering the old couple's current financial situation, it was good enough that they didn't ask Ling Xiu for anything, and there was no way they would bother with her again.

He Jinyan thought so and sat steadily in the east room.

But after a while, Ling Jianguo was seen going out, and when he came back, he was holding a slaughtered hen in his hand.

He Jinyan stood up suddenly, gnashing her teeth in anger.

When Ling Xiu heard Xu Chunying say that the family had split up, she was surprised and a little disappointed.

In the past, she came back to beg for money because she knew that her two brothers earned a lot and the family had the conditions.

It's not to the point of drinking the blood of old father and mother.

But this family suddenly split up...

Ling Xiu wanted to see if there was any room for maneuver, so this time he didn't let Cui Niannian call for help, but went to the west room to find Song Rui himself.

Seeing that she and Song Rui had something to say, Ling Ye took Nan Nan out to play and left the room to them.

Ling Xiu really didn't dare to say anything more in front of Ling Ye. She was also a little afraid of her younger brother.

As he left with the child in his arms, Ling Xiu grabbed Song Rui's arm and said, "Why did you suddenly split up? Sister-in-law, didn't you try to persuade them?"

Song Rui was puzzled: "What are you trying to persuade me to do? I think it's a good idea to separate the family."

"But as long as our parents are alive, we should not divide the family. This is the ancestral precept passed down from generation to generation. As children, we..."

Song Rui interrupted her, "Okay, elder sister, it will be the new century in a few years, you should put aside the ancestral teachings. Second sister is a good and virtuous daughter-in-law, does that mean life will be better?"

Ling Xiu was stunned by what she said. Thinking of her own life, bitterness crept into the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"This is my fate. I just do my own thing. I don't have the final say on what my fate is."

What is fate?

She has worked hard all her life, but being deceived, exploited and sucked dry is her fate?

No one knows better than her what her destiny is.

But if this is her fate, why should she accept it?

Song Rui felt that she had no point in talking to her. "Then I hope that when my second sister gets old, she can look back on the grievances of her life without resentment or regret, and calmly say, this is your fate."

Ling Xiu was stunned and didn't say anything.

The biggest difference between Ling Xiu and Xu Chunying and He Jinyan is that she has a good temper.

Song Rui's words were not very pleasant, but she didn't get angry after hearing them.

Like a dough, wrap it all up and digest it by yourself.

Song Rui seemed to be able to see her at home.

No matter what Cui Mingzhi said, she just kept her head down, as if she couldn't hear anything and didn't react at all.

If she meets someone who enjoys bullying others, he will only belittle and scold her even more.

Song Rui didn't like to waste time talking to her.

Seeing that Ling Xiu stopped persuading her, she changed the subject and chatted with her about something else.

Suddenly, Song Rui remembered the scar on Ling Ye's body.

"Sister, do you know how Ling Ye got that scar on his ribs?"

Ling Xiu nodded, "I know, it's just... I told you not to be angry, after all, it happened many years ago."

Ling Xiu counted on his fingers, "It should be seven years. Seven years ago, he got into a fight with someone and was stabbed in the ribs. He bled so much that he almost lost his life. I don't remember the name of the guy he fought with, but I know he was in a terrible condition. He went to another place to treat his injuries overnight and didn't dare to come back for many years. The reason for the fight... seemed to be because of a woman."
