Daqing always wanted to rise up and sing his praises, but each time his efforts were ruthlessly suppressed. He thought he could get revenge on Song Lili, but he failed in the end.
So, he saw Song Lili off in a state of grief and indignation, and then went to Zhang Qinghua to vent his frustrations.
Leaving aside how Zhang Qinghua made Daqing feel that life was dark, let's talk about Song Lili. After returning home, she found that Xia Niu seemed to be avoiding her.
Ever since Song Jianshe was hit by her that day, Xia Niu has been somewhat uneasy around Song Lili. Then Xia Jun came over, and Xia Niu has been avoiding Song Lili ever since.
Song Lili glanced at the figure entering the house, her expression unchanged, and went straight to find Song Yongren.
She felt that she could discuss her previous ideas with Song Yongren.
"Hey boss, can I talk to you about something?" Song Lili said lazily, sitting on the stool.
"What's up?" Song Yongren had just returned from the fields, covered in sweat, and was washing his face.
"Have you considered separating the family? Send your eldest brother out, that way there won't be any conflicts at home. Distance makes things better, and close proximity makes things worse." Song Lili thought this was a good idea.
Song Yongren stopped splashing water. "Dividing the family property? How? Lili, who told you that?"
Song Yongren believed that it was someone in the village who instigated Song Lili to say that.
Song Lili rolled her eyes speechlessly. Was she really that easy to fool?
"The idea is to let my older brother and his wife live together, and for the three of us—my father, my daughter, and I—to live together. That way, there won't be so many conflicts."
After thinking for a moment, she leaned closer to Song Yongren and said, "Besides, there are some things we don't need to hide from my sister-in-law anymore. As things are now, she'll find out eventually."
After saying that, Song Lili took a step back. "Besides, it's not like we're abandoning them. We're still family, we just don't eat or sleep together anymore."
“Lili…” Song Yongren suddenly called out in a heavy voice, “Do you know that once the family is separated, they are two separate families? You and Fangfang will get married in the future.”
So, should he live alone?
"Don't worry, even if I get married, I can still support you. Besides, you can live with me from now on. Why do you have to live with my older brother?"
"To be honest, I'm starting to doubt whether my older brother will treat you well in the future. Look at how he's already doing things like giving away food to others without your knowledge; he'll only do it more often in the future."
"So, sons are not as reliable as daughters. You should rely on your daughter more."
After Song Lili truly began to regard Song Yongren as family, she became much more casual in her speech. Moreover, now that it was just the two of them, there was no need for them to hide anything from each other.
But to everyone's surprise, Song Jianshe was listening outside. As soon as he heard Song Lili's words, he immediately exploded, "No, I don't agree!"
Song Jianshe originally came to invite Song Yongren to dinner, but Xia Niu saw Song Lili enter the house and didn't want to come herself.
But to his surprise, he heard such words upon arriving, leaving him with mixed feelings and feeling extremely ashamed.
His sister's words were like a resounding slap across his face, leaving it burning with pain.
When he heard his sister say that she didn't believe him and that he wouldn't treat his father well in the future, he couldn't refute it because he had actually done such a thing.
And the younger sister really did keep her word and was truly going to abandon herself.
"I disagree with the division of the family. The eldest son should stay with me, and the son should support his parents. This has been the way Hongqi Village has been for many years."
"Don't even think about taking Dada and Fangfang with you. I don't agree." Song Jianshe said firmly, but inside he was panicking.
When he finally heard what his sister said with his own ears, it had a great impact on him and shocked him.
He was terrified that he would become a lonely person and that his family would no longer want to live with him.
Therefore, in Song Jianshe's heart, something seemed to have broken, and something else seemed to have grown.
Song Lili was a little confused, looking at the excited Song Jianshe with a bewildered expression. She felt a little guilty about being caught red-handed. What should she do?
Seeing Song Jianshe's face growing redder as he spoke, Song Lili quietly moved towards the door. Once she reached the door, she quickly said something.
"Big Brother, I'm going to find Fangfang." Then he ran away quickly. My god, was Big Brother about to transform into Zhang Fei? He was more violent than ever before.
She'd better hide for a bit. She always felt guilty and didn't dare to meet Song Jianshe's gaze, did she?
Song Yongren looked at his running daughter with amusement, then at his agitated son, feeling both amused and exasperated.
Seeing that Song Jianshe seemed to be stuck, unsure whether to continue speaking, I laughed rather unkindly.
However, I felt relieved, it seems my son still cares about him as his father.
"Big Brother, Lili, she..." Song Jianshe wanted to express his thoughts, but was interrupted by Song Yongren.
“Jianshe, your sister is just saying that. Dad will not agree. Even if the family really has to split up, Dad will not follow her.”
There's never been any talk of a daughter taking care of her parents in old age. Even if Lili were willing, he wouldn't be, and he doesn't want others gossiping about his daughter.
Besides, if the daughter is willing, will her husband's family be?
Therefore, Song Yongren never agreed with Song Lili's suggestion; however, he still wanted to remind Song Jianshe.
“But Jianshe, you should also think about why Lili would say such a thing. Think about it carefully.” Song Yongren patted Song Jianshe on the shoulder.
"I understand." Song Jianshe seemed like a punctured balloon, becoming weak and listless, his voice also drooping.
Song Yongren finally sighed, lamenting the debts owed to his children.
"Big Brother, let's go eat. Xia Niu has already prepared it." It took Song Jianshe a while to compose himself and remember why he had come.
"Okay, let's go." Song Yongren didn't say anything and followed them out.
During the meal, Song Lili felt very awkward because Song Jianshe's eyes were fixed on her, making her feel uneasy.
However, she felt that she hadn't done anything wrong, so she calmly let him watch, but she just felt uncomfortable.
This created a strange atmosphere at the table, and strangely, no one else dared to speak.
Xia Niu, who was already frightened, became even more terrified, thinking that Song Lili was unhappy again, and kept her neck shrunken the whole time.
When Song Lili saw the couple, she was furious. What did they mean by acting like she was the one who ruined the atmosphere?
She's innocent too, okay? She only said a few words, was it really necessary to make such a fuss? If she doesn't want to, she doesn't have to.
Finally, Song Lili refused to accept this any longer. She slammed down her chopsticks and left without a word, leaving Song Jianshe to stare at her helplessly.
As for Xia Niu, Song Lili didn't have that much free time to pay attention to her.
