Because she was angry, Song Lili said some unpleasant things, which made Song Jianshe and Xia Niu's faces fall.
"Lili, how can you say that? Your sister-in-law works very hard cooking at home, how can you say she's being lazy?"
“Lili, you… I didn’t, I didn’t want to slack off, I… I’m going to the fields, I’m not staying at home.”
The two people, one angrily questioning and the other pitifully teary-eyed, made Song Lili appear to be the villain.
Song Lili ignored Xia Niu, who was a stranger to her, and her words had no effect on her whatsoever.
What she cared about was Song Jianshe's opinion, the opinion of the person she considered family.
"Song Jianshe, say that again if you dare." Song Lili stopped calling him "brother" and started calling him by his name directly.
"Didn't you say I'm more capable than her? Didn't you say cooking is hard work? If it's so hard, shouldn't I be the one to do it?"
"I've done a lot of hard work, what gives you the right to criticize me? What exactly is your basis for doing this?" Song Lili asked coldly.
This was the first time she felt a distance between herself and Song Jianshe, a distance that could never be completely erased.
"I...I...I didn't mean that, Lili, I...I didn't..." Only after being questioned by Song Lili did Song Jianshe realize that he had said something wrong.
Although he felt sorry for his wife, he also hurt his sister's feelings.
“Lili, I…I just think you’re strong, you…you’re definitely easier to work with than Xia Niu, no, no, it’s you…” Song Jianshe wanted to explain clearly, but the more he tried to explain, the worse it got.
Song Lili watched Song Jianshe's explanation with cold eyes, and the more she listened, the more ironic and ridiculous she felt.
She actually encountered a brother who completely changed after getting married, and she experienced that too.
"You don't need to explain. I know what you mean. I don't want to discuss such boring things with you anymore."
"Be more honest in your dealings with people. Say what you mean. I don't accept beating around the bush and I hate that kind of behavior."
“So, don’t tell me what I should do in the future. You…” She pointed at Song Jianshe, “You have no right to tell me what to do.”
After saying that, Song Lili threw down the bowl, her face darkened, and walked out, feeling frustrated and wanting to vent her anger.
Song Fang followed behind Song Lili. She glared at Xia Niu and then looked at Song Jianshe, saying, "I hate my older brother."
The two sisters left, leaving the three of them sitting awkwardly, unsure of what to say.
Song Yongren finally sighed, "Jianshe, Lili is your sister." He used to love her, but now…
"Well, I won't get involved in your kids' affairs." With that, Song Yongren put down his bowl and went out.
Previously, he had never noticed, but after Song Lili pointed it out, Song Yongren also realized the problem with his daughter-in-law.
It's no wonder the young lady is angry; she always speaks and acts in a roundabout way. I bet this isn't the first time she's done something like this.
Song Yongren couldn't help but sigh again; he hadn't even noticed.
As for Song Lili, she stormed out the door, then slowed down, and the expression on her face softened.
She was very angry at first, but she wasn't actually as angry as she appeared.
She simply couldn't stand Song Jianshe and didn't want to play with Xia Niu like this anymore, so she decided to make everything clear.
From now on, no matter how she treats Song Jianshe and Xia Niu, don't bring it up and blame her.
"Sister, Big Brother is weird, I don't like him anymore." Song Fang caught up with Song Lili, pouting and looking unhappy.
Song Lili smiled and patted Song Fang's head. "Alright, let's not talk about them anymore. Let's go pick some cucumbers from the field so we can eat them on the way."
"Mm." Song Fang nodded emphatically, a smile appearing on her face.
Neither of the two sisters spoke to the rest of the family. Instead, they held hands and happily went to the fields.
Song Yongren followed behind, carrying his own sickle and Song Lili's, and also gave Song Fang a basket for her to use to pick up the ears of grain.
After meeting Song Lili, Song Yongren didn't know how to talk to her. Both of them were his children, and nothing he said would be right.
Instead, Song Lili was amused by Song Yongren's expression. "Big Brother, don't be upset. I was just unhappy a moment ago, but I'm fine now."
"Don't worry, as long as they don't cause trouble in the future, I won't go against them," Song Lili assured her.
However, now she is no longer giving in unconditionally, but with preconditions.
Song Yongren knew his daughter's personality and nodded, "Okay, I know you're a sensible child, I believe you."
However, she still felt a little disappointed in Song Jianshe.
The son I raised from a baby actually has this side to him, and it's only now that it's revealed.
As for Song Lili, Song Yongren did not find anything wrong with his daughter.
Most of the people in Hongqi Village had no objection to this arrangement, since many of them cared about the wheat.
Even those who had objections stopped objecting when they heard they would receive one and a half work points, and went to the fields happily.
So from that day on, everyone truly began the most arduous autumn harvest, working from dawn till dusk, and of course, the results were gratifying.
The wheat in Hongqi Village was harvested at a rapid pace visible to the naked eye, and everyone's previous worries were gone.
It was Song Yongren; his cheerful demeanor made the Song family happy every day.
Of course, neither Song Jianshe nor Xia Niu came to Song Lili's side, so overall, she was living a very comfortable life.
However, as time went by, she had something to deal with: Yangmei was about to give birth, and she needed to get some nourishing food for her.
Of course, the best thing would be brown sugar, but Song Lili didn't have a coupon to buy it, and she didn't even know if the supply and marketing cooperative had any.
However, because of the autumn harvest, she didn't have time to go to town, and she kept putting it off.
When she finally got a rainy day and couldn't work, she rushed to town, taking Zhang Qinghua with her.
The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, so it would be a good opportunity to nurture their relationship.
Zhang Qinghua waited for Song Lili on the bridge. As soon as Song Lili arrived, she saw Zhang Qinghua standing tall and straight.
It seemed there was nothing that could make him bend over; he would continue to walk straight like this.
Song Lili revealed a genuine smile, skipped over, and patted Zhang Qinghua on the shoulder, "When did you get here? You were here even earlier than me."
“I just arrived too, let’s go.” Zhang Qinghua’s expression softened unconsciously when he saw Song Lili.
