Song Jie asked, "Mom, does what you're saying mean you don't welcome me?"
Lin Yufang said, "It's not that I don't welcome you, but I'm curious why you're back at this time?"
Song Jie: "It was my older brother who called us and told us to come back."
Lin Yufang was surprised. Why were they being asked to come back at this time?
Song Jie didn't take it seriously, put her luggage aside, and said, "Mom, I haven't been back for a long time. I just came back this time to keep you company."
She reached out and put her arm around Lin Yufang's shoulder.
Lin Yufang asked, "Did he also inform your sister?"
Song Jie nodded and said, "Yes, I heard from my sister that she's coming back too."
Lin Yufang was startled.
But he dared not show it on his face.
She asked, "Is this also your older brother's idea?"
Song Jie nodded: "Right? I heard it from my sister. My older brother said we haven't been back for too long, and the three of us siblings haven't spent time with you in a long time."
Lin Yufang asked calmly, "Did he ask you to come back and keep me company?"
Song Jie nodded: "Yes, we came back just to be with you, what else could we be doing?"
Lin Yufang felt that something was wrong.
She asked, "What about your older brother?"
Song Jie said, "He's in the hospital, didn't you know?"
Lin Yufang was surprised and asked, "What happened? Are you in the hospital?"
Song Jie said, "His old illness has relapsed."
Lin Yufang: "..."
Song Jie, however, started talking about her mother: "Mom, my brother's illness keeps recurring, and he's always thinking about winning merits. How come you don't even know about his health condition?"
This statement implies that she is incompetent.
Lin Yufang frowned.
She now felt extremely conflicted about Song Hongyu.
I couldn't understand why he had called his two younger sisters over.
And when did he go to the hospital again?
Lin Yufang thought her daughter's news was too slow, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Your older brother was just discharged from the hospital not long ago, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Song Jie said, "Mom, I'm not mistaken. He just got back to the hospital this morning. I contacted him as soon as I got off the plane. His condition isn't good. He was transferred back in the middle of the night last night. I just didn't want you to worry, so I didn't tell you."
Song Jie: "Mom, my eldest brother is so good. Over the years, he has not only taken care of me and my second sister in your place, but even after we got married, he still worries about us more than you do."
Lin Yufang: "..."
We're getting further and further down the path of incompetence!
But she felt something was wrong, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
What's going on?
Just then, another voice called out "Mom!"
"mom."
Song Ling pulled her luggage in.
Lin Yufang was not happy about her daughter's return; instead, she felt anxious.
Song Ling asked, "Mom, what's wrong? My sisters and I are back, but you look unhappy."
Lin Yufang said, "Mom is definitely happy that you're back. What would you like to eat? I'll go out and add some dishes later."
Just then, Lu Zhen came out of the room and greeted them with a smile: "Auntie, Second Aunt, you've arrived."
Song Jie and Song Ling treated Lu Zhen well, calling her "sister-in-law" all the time.
Lin Yufang didn't know why, but she just felt uneasy.
Lu Zhen said, "You're back. Let's go out for dinner tonight."
Song Jie said, "Sister-in-law, there's no need to go to so much trouble. Just eat at home. Your brother is in the hospital. Go see him when you have time."
Lu Zhen looked surprised and asked, "Why is he in the hospital? Wasn't he on a mission?"
Song Jie said, "I don't know the specifics, but I just received news that his old illness has relapsed and he is in the hospital."
Lu Zhen's smile vanished instantly, and she quickly said, "Mom, I'll go see him."
Lu Zhen went out.
Lin Yufang frowned deeply as she watched Lu Zhen's retreating figure.
Song Jie said, "Second sister, I'm going to see eldest brother tomorrow, are you coming?"
Song Ling said, "Since we're already back, we can go see her anytime. I'll stay with my mother first."
Lin Yufang thought for a moment and then called Song Xingming: "Both of our daughters are back. Do you want to come home too?"
...
Ruan Qingling calculated the time; she needed to go back to prepare for the exam. If she stayed here, the exam might be ruined.
Song Shiting has exams these two days.
She was waiting for Song Shiting's exam results.
Song Shiting's exam did not go so smoothly.
I almost arrived late on the first day.
If Ruan Huaiguo's car hadn't happened to pass by, Song Shiting would have missed the exam.
Later, there was another time, but Song Shiting was also very lucky; the second time, Ma Zhengping stepped in to help.
Therefore, Song Shiting was able to take the exam smoothly.
Meanwhile, Ruan Huaizhu, who had just finished her exam, wanted to go out for dinner.
Ruan Huaizhu said, "My sister hasn't really explored this area much yet. How about we go out to eat?"
Ruan Qingling had no objection.
With Liao Juan as their godmother, the women formed a female army.
Ya Ya is the little star in it.
They all vied to hug her.
Sometimes Ya Ya wants her dad and mom to hug her, but she never gets the chance.
As the group came out and entered the state-run restaurant, they ran into another group.
Ruan Qingling only recognized Lin Yufang in the middle; the other two were younger and looked somewhat similar.
Therefore, she guessed that the two girls must be Lin Yufang's daughters.
Lin Yufang smiled slightly when she saw Ruan Qingling.
Ruan Qingling's side was a large group; upon meeting, they merely nodded slightly.
Several people went to the other side.
Song Ling asked, "Mom, do you know them?"
Lin Yufang said, "I know him."
Song Jie glanced at Ruan Qingling again.
Seeing Song Jie looking at her sister, Ruan Huaizhu said, "Second sister, those two are their daughters, but they've both married out."
Ruan Qingling nodded slightly.
However, she had another question in her mind: why did the two daughters of the Song family suddenly come back?
Is there a problem?
Or did Lin Yufang call them here?
Ruan Huaixiu said, "Our family has little contact with their family. When we were little, Song Ling and I were classmates. However, later on, I don't know why, the sisters only liked to follow Song Hongyu and didn't play with other people much. They drifted further and further apart."
Ruan Huaizhu said, "If you ask me, their eldest brother is actually a petty person. He says he's good to his sisters, but actually he doesn't want his two sisters to have their own friends."
Speaking of this topic, Liao Juan suddenly said, "Now that you mention it, I've thought of something. It seems that he was the matchmaker for Song's eldest daughter."
Ruan Qingling frowned slightly.
If that's the case, what does Song Hongyu want to do?
To squeeze every last drop out of the Song family?
Using every member of the Song family to build an empire on their shoulders?
