Song Yaohui nodded, his face flushed.
"I'll see how it goes."
Fang Jie wasn't the kind of domineering mother who would force her son to marry someone he didn't like.
She didn't mention it again.
But just because she's come to terms with it doesn't mean others have given up.
...
The next morning, when Song Fanxing got up, she saw her parents and two older brothers sitting in the main room, creating an awkward atmosphere.
She likes to sleep in late and is the last one in the family to get up.
Walk over to Song Yaohua and poke him.
"Second brother, what serious incident has occurred?"
Song Yaohua: "Go check the kitchen."
Song Fanxing strolled to the kitchen.
Xiao Lian was cooking, wearing her family's apron.
Upon seeing Song Fanxing, he greeted her ingratiatingly, "Little sister, you're awake! Are you hungry? We'll eat right away."
Song Fanxing turned to look at her older brother, whose face was unusually dark.
She looked at Fang Jie.
"Mom, didn't you refuse?"
Fang Jie whispered, "Yes, I made things clear yesterday. But Xiao Lian came knocking on our door early this morning. When I opened the door, she went straight into the kitchen without saying a word, saying she wanted to make us breakfast. I couldn't stop her."
Song Fanxing thought to herself, "They're trying to cling to our family."
A short while later, Xiao Lian came out carrying a bowl of pancakes.
He said with a smile, "Dinner is ready."
A bowl of flatbread, a large plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes, and a pot of sweet potato porridge.
Xiaolian served porridge and cakes to everyone.
It's as if she's the lady of the house.
Fang Jie's family are all very well-mannered people. They didn't want to embarrass her after she had been busy all morning.
Let's talk about it after we finish eating.
The family ate breakfast in silence, with only Xiaolian smiling throughout.
She was actually embarrassed, but her aunt said that she had to be thick-skinned to stay in Commander Song's house and become his daughter-in-law, then her life would be easier.
Before dawn, her aunt woke her up and told her to go to Commander Song's house to make breakfast and to behave well.
Commander Song's family ate the breakfast she made, which meant they accepted her...
Fang Jie and the others were preoccupied and had poor appetites, so they didn't eat much.
Xiaolian, on the other hand, had a good appetite. She drank two large bowls of sweet potato porridge and finished the remaining potato shreds rolled pancakes.
Commander Song's family is really well-off. When she was cooking breakfast this morning, she saw a bag of rice, a bag of flour, a large basket of eggs, and some salted meat in the kitchen cupboard...
This further solidified her determination to enter Commander Song's household.
Xiaolian put away the dishes and went to wash them. Fang Jie didn't argue with her; she couldn't win anyway.
After washing the dishes, Xiaolian went into each room and found a pile of dirty clothes to wash.
When Song Yaohui and Song Yaohua saw this, they were shocked...
The two brothers rushed over and picked up their clothes.
Song Yaohua: "I'll wash it myself."
Song Fanxing couldn't stand strangers touching her clothes, so she took out her own clothes.
Song Darong and Fang Jie were also very uncomfortable, but they couldn't go and take the clothes back.
Xiaolian washed the clothes, then filled a basin with water and wiped and cleaned everything.
Clean the yard.
When Song Darong returned home that evening, Xiaolian was still at their house.
Dinner is ready.
Upon seeing him, she smiled and called out, "Dad, you're back! I've made dinner."
Song Darong's legs went weak and he almost fell.
"What...what did you call me?"
"Dad."
Song Darong was about to faint.
"Xiao Lian, don't shout, it's not good if someone hears you."
"They'll have to shout it sooner or later."
"No...no, you and Yaohui aren't even officially together yet. Calling him that will ruin your reputation. A young lady's reputation is very important."
“I’m not afraid. I’ve already decided on Yaohui and your family.”
Song Darong is scratching his head so hard it's almost bald.
What's going on?
Xiaolian ran to knock on the doors of three rooms.
He called out, "Mom, dinner's ready! Yaohui, Yaohua, dinner's ready! Sister, dinner's ready!"
Song Fanxing heard the commotion outside and realized her mother had gone out, so she opened the door and went out herself.
That Xiaolian is terrifying...
They couldn't do anything to her, so they had to hide.
Song Yaohua came out, but Song Yaohui did not.
Xiao Lian went to knock on the door again to call for someone, but Song Yaohui coldly said, "I'm not eating!"
Xiaolian was met with a cold shoulder, so she had no choice but to come back and eat first.
Fang Jie ate a couple of bites and then pulled Song Darong into the room, where the two whispered to each other for a long time.
After dinner, Xiaolian wanted to wash the dishes, but Fang Jie stopped her.
"Xiao Lian, it's too late, you should go home. You've had a hard day."
"Mom, it's not hard work. Why don't I stay and cook all the meals at home from now on?"
"No! People will gossip if you stay in our house without any explanation."
I'm not afraid of people gossiping.
"We're scared!"
Fang Jie took out ten yuan and stuffed it into Xiao Lian's hand.
"Thank you for your hard work today, go home now."
Fang Jie winked at Song Darong.
Song Darong immediately said, "Xiao Lian, I'll take you back. I'm going to Battalion Commander Zhang's house anyway."
Xiaolian wanted to keep the money for now and take her stay at Commander Song's house slowly.
So he went with Song Darong.
When they arrived at Battalion Commander Zhang's house, Song Darong called Battalion Commander Zhang out alone, and the two talked for a long time outside.
The next day, Xiaolian did not come to Song Darong's house again.
The whole family felt much more relaxed.
Fang Jie felt a lingering fear.
"It's all my fault, I almost got our family into big trouble."
Song Fanxing comforted her, "Mom, it's not your fault. Who would have thought that Xiaolian would be so shameless, coming to our door for something so unreliable."
Song Yaohua: "Exactly, not every girl is like that."
Song Darong agreed with Song Yaohua's words.
