The dinner was a sumptuous one, prepared by Yang Lifen, with Liu Fangfang and Bai Qingxia helping out.
The whole family was eating in the main hall, and Captain Liu also came over. There were more than a dozen people, and the eight-immortal table could not accommodate them at all, so they split it into two tables, one for the men who drank, and one for the women who didn't drink. They ate their own food and talked their own things.
Song Yun told everyone about some of her experiences in Hong Kong City, and everyone was shocked.
"What? An ice cream cone costs fifty cents? Here, an ice cream cone only costs two cents."
"Five dollars for a movie? Isn't that a rip-off? We only charge twenty cents."
Song Yun explained with a smile, "Although prices are high there, the wages are also high. A casual job can earn you over a thousand yuan a month."
Liu Fangfang listened with longing, "If only I could go to Hong Kong City to work, I could make a fortune in one job, and then I could bring the money back home to spend. It would be so much fun."
Song Yun shook her head. "I can't do that now. Don't even think about it."
After dinner, Song Yun took out the gifts she had prepared for everyone.
He first took a cigarette and handed it to Captain Liu. "I don't know if the cigarettes from Gangcheng are good or not, I just bought them blindly. Smoke them at home and don't take them out. Although the source is good and they can withstand inspection, there's no need to do that."
Captain Liu knew what she meant and smiled from ear to ear. "Alright, I didn't know that yet. Just mind your own business. Don't be so loose, especially out in public. Don't show off too much."
Song Yun smiled and didn't respond. She took out two boxes of face cream and gave them to Liu Fangfang. "This is for you and Aunt Liu." Then she seemed to think of something and took out another box. "Take one for your sister-in-law as well."
Liu Fangfang didn't take the last box. "I don't have a sister-in-law now, so two boxes will do."
Song Yun was stunned. "No sister-in-law? What does that mean?"
Liu Fangfang looked at her father.
Captain Liu shook his head and sighed, "Divorced. Jiefang was the one who proposed it, and his mother and I didn't object. Even if they divorced, Li Dani is not someone who can live with her."
Liu Fangfang whispered, "Li Dani took all the money my brother had saved with great difficulty to her mother's house. My nephew was sick with a high fever, but Li Dani dragged him to the hospital and refused to take him. My brother saw that the child's condition was getting worse and worse, and he was anxious and insisted on sending him to the hospital. Li Dani tried to stop him, but she couldn't stop him. My brother only gave him the money when he asked for it. All the money he had saved was gone. He was robbed by a thief. My brother was very angry at the time and had no choice but to ask my parents for money. In the end, my parents' money was gone too. Li Dani didn't admit it at first, but my nephew said he saw Li Dani rummaging through my parents' room and taking a roll of money to my grandmother's house."
Song Yun was speechless. Why would a woman like this marry? She should just stay at her parents' house and work until she dies.
Liu Fangfang continued, "My dad borrowed money and sent the child to the hospital. The doctor said if he waited any longer, he'd develop pneumonia and die. My brother was nearly scared to death. Since the hospitalization would cost money, he asked Li Dani to go back to her parents' home to get it. But she never got any. So my brother said he'd divorce her if she didn't get the money back, and Li Dani actually agreed."
"And then you got divorced?" Song Yun asked.
Liu Fangfang nodded. "They divorced. But a few days later, Li Dani came back to Qinghe Village crying, saying her parents wanted to marry her off to an old bachelor. She refused and wanted to go back to Qinghe Village. Her parents said they could go back to Qinghe Village, but they had to remarry and they couldn't miss out on the betrothal gifts and banquet."
Song Yun clicked her tongue, what a bold idea.
