Song Ma took the candied fruit. "This is from my sister, you can have it!"
Song Erbao took the paper package and hugged it to his chest.
When they arrived home, their second cousin, Song Jun, and his wife, Liu Shuying, were cooking.
Liu Shuying's belly is showing.
"Oh dear, I told you not to do that! Why are you in the kitchen again!" When Song Ma saw Liu Shuying holding a scallion, she quickly snatched it away.
"Second Aunt, I didn't do anything. Song Jun did all the work, I just helped out." Liu Shuying obediently left the kitchen.
Song Jun prepared a table full of dishes, and Song Yan tasted them; they were quite delicious.
After the meal, Song Jun washed the dishes. He knew exactly where to put things, just like he was at home.
Song Yan felt like her parents had gained another son.
In the evening, my second aunt's family of three and my third aunt came.
Because the windows were open, the lively sounds from the Song family could be heard downstairs.
Now, everyone says that Song Lao Er's suffering has finally come to an end.
Song Yan quietly asked his third aunt, "What do you think about what I told you in the letter?"
My aunt is in a really difficult position right now.
My second sister's eldest sister-in-law is divorced and has a child, so the Miao family is very crowded.
She was staying at her second sister's house and felt she was causing her sister trouble.
I had suggested moving out a long time ago, but the two elderly people disagreed. They really treat me like their daughter.
But wouldn't going to Song Yan's house cause him any trouble?
Song Yan: "The house I bought has three main rooms and east and west wing rooms. I've had it all cleaned up, and it even has underfloor heating. You'll definitely have a place to stay when you get there."
Besides, we already have three children, and with these two in my belly, my mother-in-law can't take care of them all.
"You can lend a hand now and then, and you can also earn some income by writing articles in your spare time." When the situation changes next year, Auntie will be able to do more things.
Song Ma thought the best solution for Third Aunt was to find her a husband.
Song Yan's view is different; if there isn't a suitable match, then she won't get married.
The most important thing is to live a comfortable life. I'm capable, and my aunt is someone I can help, so why can't I help her?
My aunt finally nodded...
Wei Aiguo and Song's father slept on the floor in the living room, while Song Yan and Song's mother were in the bedroom.
Little Song Erbao looked at the makeshift bed on the floor with curiosity and insisted on sleeping with his father. This gave Song Yan and his mother some time to talk.
"Mom, why is my second brother so thin? And my second sister-in-law's complexion is also just so-so. What's going on?" Song Yan asked.
Song Jun and Shuying are really good kids.
After Song Ma's maternity leave ended, she was supposed to go back to work, leaving no one to look after Song Erbao. The two of them weren't married yet at the time, so Shuying would lend a hand whenever she had time.
Tang Baojuan comes when she has time.
This made things much easier for Song Ma.
"Sigh! I don't know what Song Laoda and his wife He Xiaofen were thinking? He's their own son, do you think they had to force him to his death..." Song's mother slowly recounted Song Jun's story.
Song Jun got married a month ago, and Song Laoda and He Xiaofen are already asking for retirement money.
The two of them are not old, why would they need retirement savings at this age?
The Song army refused to give them the money, saying they would definitely give it to the two old people when they were too old to move, and that they shouldn't even think about it now.
Although most people do not approve of what Boss Song did, he is, after all, the father, so the son should give him a little something!
Song Jun was also angry that they hadn't paid a single penny when they got married, but now that they were married, they were asking for retirement money.
It caused quite a stir at the time. We were fortunate that the deputy factory director, Wei Chunxi, stood up and strongly supported Song Jun.
Let all three kids take money if they want.
But Song Jue isn't married, so he shouldn't have to pay.
Wei Chun asked Song Laoda, "How much money did you contribute to your third son's wedding?"
He asked in front of everyone, so Boss Song and his wife really didn't dare to say they wouldn't pay.
Song Jue doesn't have a job. If his family doesn't contribute to his marriage, how will he find a wife?
Boss Song said he would pay.
Wei Chunxi then asked, "Can your Song Jue get married like everyone else?"
Boss Song said yes.
Wei Chunxi then asked Song Jun how much money he had spent on his wedding.
Boss Song still wanted to confuse the issue, saying that he hadn't shortchanged the woman at all.
Mr. Song was there at the time. Although he's not as powerful now, he's not the same person who used to be bullied. He said then, "You didn't give a single penny. If the bride price wasn't enough, I'd add to it."
My daughter helped prepare the supplies because we didn't have enough.
Despite having parents, it turned out that her uncle and cousin helped her.
Now that this matter is out in the open, it's really unacceptable for Boss Song. Only then can the issue of retirement funds be dropped.
Song Yan: Wei Chunxi is a really good person. I'll prepare some gifts and visit him tomorrow.
Tang Baojuan is quite good too. Song Ma has finished her postpartum confinement and no longer hires her, but she still helps out occasionally. Song Yan prepared ten ginseng nourishing pills for her husband, made with spring water. They'll definitely work for his illness. They won't cure it completely, but they'll reduce his need for medication.
Lost in thought, Song Yan continued listening to his mother.
The factory has been having trouble paying wages since last year. Medical expenses have basically stopped being reimbursed since last year.
Just then, Shuying's father broke his leg while repairing his own house.
It took several surgeries to recover.
The medical expenses haven't been reimbursed yet, and that's a huge sum of money.
Shuying is their daughter, how could they just ignore her? So they took all the money from the couple's hands.
When He Xiaofen found out, she made a huge scene and demanded money.
Song Ma gets angry just thinking about that scene.
Song Jun immediately started arguing with He Xiaofen. He explained that he gave his father-in-law money because it was a dowry his father-in-law had given her when they got married. He said, "If He Xiaofen wants money, then you'd better give me the money you spent on the wedding first."
