Song Lili looked coldly at Song Jianguo and said, "You have to deal with your own problems. If others find out you gamble, I'll make you taste what it's like to be beaten again."
Song Lili felt helpless; Song Jianguo had still gotten himself into trouble. She wondered if he would be caught and held accountable.
Regardless of the circumstances, Song Lili must take precautions.
"If you want to borrow money, you can write an IOU. If you don't pay it back, I'll send you to the police station. You know I'm capable of doing that."
Song Lili knew that it was impossible not to help this time, because Song Yongren had already softened his heart and looked at Song Lili with a pleading expression.
But Song Lili was very unwilling. She was unwilling to just give the money to Song Jianguo and make him solve the trouble for this prodigal son. She felt so aggrieved.
So, she turned around angrily, took out a notebook and threw it at Song Jianguo, saying, "Write it down, and I'll give you the money when you're done."
She has one hundred yuan.
Song Jianguo grabbed the notebook in a flustered manner, but hesitated.
Because he knew that everything Song Lili said was true, and if he couldn't pay it back in the future, that brat Song Lili would definitely send him to the police station.
Although Song Jianguo was a scoundrel, he still didn't want to see the police.
"No, you can't write it." Madam Gu knew this, so she tried her best to stop it.
"No writing means no money. Don't even think about taking the money for free. Let me tell you, my boss doesn't have that much money at all."
"So, if you don't write an IOU today, you won't get a single penny. Think about it."
Song Lili went to the kitchen to finish the last bit of work, and then she had Song Yongren perform the ritual for the Kitchen God before waiting for dinner.
This year, Song Lili did not buy firecrackers and does not plan to set them off. The situation is special, and special problems should be treated specially.
Gu Shi and Song Jianguo were left standing in the courtyard, and no one invited them inside.
"Grandma, why don't you write it down? Otherwise, Song Lili really won't give it to you," Song Jianguo said to Gu Shi.
“No, one hundred yuan. How can you pay back so much money? Jianguo, don’t worry, Song Yongren is my son, his money has to be given to me, and I won’t let you pay it back.”
Madam Gu was unwilling at all. She had always taken things for free before, and now she was saying it was just a loan? She disagreed.
"But Song Lili won't agree or give it to me." That's the biggest problem.
Song Jianguo, that scoundrel, pointed out the crux of the problem for the first time with remarkable insight.
Although Gu's voice was loud, it lacked any real conviction.
In the past, she would have dared to guarantee it, but now, she doesn't.
Madam Gu suddenly felt humiliated. To be made difficult in front of her juniors made her feel not only ashamed but also as if she had lost her dignity as an elder.
Therefore, I had an even worse impression of Song Yongren's family.
In the end, all Gu could say was, "Write it, write it, we'll talk about whether you'll pay me back later." Ultimately, Gu still wanted to take it for free.
It would be a miracle if Song Lili let her get away with it. When she wrote it, she directly said, "You write that you borrowed 100 yuan from Song Lili. If you don't pay it back, I can do whatever I want with you."
She knew exactly what Gu was thinking. She just wanted to renege on her debts because Song Yongren was her son.
But she simply didn't want to do as Madam Gu wished.
"You..." Gu Shi was angered again, and her plans were ruined.
Song Lili sneered.
"Grandma, Grandma, never mind, I'll write it, I'll write it." Song Jianguo quickly pulled Gu Shi back, his heart heavy.
He had no other choice, because those people said they would break his hands and feet if he didn't pay back before the Lunar New Year, so he dared not not pay.
In the future, things will just get better gradually.
And so, Song Jianguo wrote an IOU and took one hundred yuan from Song Lili.
After the two left, Song Yongren still sighed, "How did Jian Guo learn to gamble?"
Song Lili curled her lip in disdain. "Song Jianguo doesn't learn anything good, but he can't do anything bad. Okay, let's not talk about him anymore, let's eat."
Song Lili didn't want to talk about Song Yongli's troublesome family.
The eve of the Lunar New Year should have been a joyous occasion, but because of Gu Shi and Song Jianguo, Song Yongren's family also felt uncomfortable.
With the Lunar New Year over, everyone has tickets and money in hand, so for the next two days, many people will go to town in groups to buy New Year's goods.
Song Lili also jumped on the bandwagon, thinking she would go to the town's supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things for the New Year.
Song Yongren asked Song Lili to take Song Fang with her so she could go out and see more of the world, but Song Lili refused.
If the tension could be felt even in Hongqi Village, it must be even more serious in the town. Taking Song Fang there was simply not a realistic option.
On the contrary, it will make Song Fang feel more nervous and scared.
Song Lili carried a basket on her back and set off alone.
Since Yang Mei got married, she no longer has any girls to play with or talk to, and she has to do everything by herself.
At the village entrance, Song Lili encountered many people. She glanced at them and recognized them all. She smiled, greeted them, and then left alone.
"Lili, Lili..." Suddenly, she heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw Zhang Qinghua, Yang Mei, and Daqing standing behind her.
"What are you doing here? Are you also going to town to buy New Year's goods?" Song Lili asked happily.
Song Lili felt especially happy because her favorite people and friends had all come.
"That's right, my uncle said we're adults now, so of course we can buy our own New Year's goods," Daqing said with some pride.
Song Lili pouted, too embarrassed to say that she had prepared her own New Year's goods a year ago, for fear of discouraging Daqing.
Yang Mei covered her mouth and chuckled to herself. She knew about Song Lili's situation and could tell what it meant just by looking at Song Lili's expression.
However, she didn't say anything, afraid of hurting her husband.
Zhang Qinghua glanced at Da Qing as if he were an idiot. Then, he automatically walked up to Song Lili and said, "Let's go together."
"Oh, what a coincidence! I thought I'd be alone."
“We came here specifically to wait for you. I told you you were coming back, and here you are,” Daqing explained to Song Lili eagerly.
"How did you know?" Song Lili asked in surprise.
"Just guessing." Zhang Qinghua's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes also curved.
“Yes, Qinghua said you were coming too, and told us to wait a bit. I didn’t expect you to actually come. He’s amazing; he could even guess that.” Yang Mei said in amazement.
After hearing this, Song Lili felt a sweet warmth in her heart, never expecting Zhang Qinghua to do such a thing.
Could this be a case of telepathy?
Song Lili lowered her head, her eyes sparkling with dazzling light, and her mouth tasted as sweet as honey.
She seemed to really like this feeling, this feeling of being understood without having to say a word, which she found somewhat addictive.
She was secretly thinking to herself, these thoughts were like those of a young girl, and she was a little shy.
