After discussing it, the group decided to find someone to choose an auspicious date.
Aunt Fu is more familiar with this kind of thing, after all, she is someone who does this often.
Song Yongren and Zhang Shengtian gave Aunt Fu the birth dates and times of their two children and then asked her to find someone to help them.
Song Yongren and Zhang Shengtian did not go with them. Too many people would make them too conspicuous, and it was better for Aunt Fu to go alone so as not to attract attention.
It was two hours later when Song Lili found out that Zhang Shengtian had arrived.
It rained a lot today, so she stayed inside after getting up, thinking about her future plans and recent events.
Later, Xia Niu said she needed to do laundry, so she left the child with Song Lili and asked her to look after the child for a while.
Right now, Song Lili is teasing the toothless Song Hui, squeezing his little hand while listening to Song Fang talk.
“I overheard them talking about your marriage, sister.”
"Today?" Song Lili was a little dazed, and the things Zhang Qinghua had told her a few days ago came to mind.
“Yes. Aunt Fu just went out to look at auspicious dates.” Song Fang nodded and said, then said listlessly, “Sister, you… I’ll have to be able to be with him every day from now on.”
The two sisters ate and slept together, almost inseparable. Suddenly, one of them had to leave, and it felt strange.
Right now, Song Fang felt uneasy, ever since she found out her sister was getting married. She just couldn't muster any enthusiasm.
"Fangfang, I can't be with you forever." Song Lili looked at Song Fang with a gentle expression. "You actually understand that."
"But we're still sisters, aren't we? Even if I get married, I'll still be your older sister."
"If you miss me, you can come to see me, and I can come to see you. We live so close, are you afraid you won't see me?"
"Besides, we'll run into each other again when we go to the fields, so there's nothing to worry about, okay?"
Song Lili understood that Song Fang was saying this because she was reluctant to part with her and was not used to it. She actually knew everything.
Song Fang was indeed aware that what Song Lili said was true; she... just couldn't help wanting to act coquettishly towards her sister.
Hearing her sister's gentle words of comfort, she felt much better. However, she still sat beside her sister without saying a word.
Song Lili understood that Song Fang didn't actually need any words of comfort at this moment; just being there for her was enough.
She patted Song Hui, who was constantly moving his calves, while keeping Song Fang company quietly.
For a long time, no one spoke. In the small room, apart from the baby's whimpering, there was nothing else.
"Lili, I'm done. Give me the baby now." Xia Niu came in to hold the baby after washing the clothes.
"Are you done?" Song Lili gently patted Song Hui and asked Xia Niu.
"Oh no, there are only a few pieces of clothing, and most of them are for children. Those clothes are small, so they're easier to wash." Xia Niu wiped her wet hands on the clothes before going to hug Song Hui.
Song Lili just looked at Xia Niu and didn't stop her.
“I overheard that Da Da was discussing your wedding date with Aunt Fu and the others,” Xia Niu said, sitting down instead of leaving.
"Yes, we've been engaged for a long time, and it's time to get married."
Song Lili didn't hide anything, anyway, after today, she figured almost everyone in Hongqi Village would know.
So what's there to hide?
“That’s true. You two have been engaged for a year now. Most people get married after a year. It’s time for you two to get married too.” Xia Niu nodded.
People here usually get married a year later, so Song Lili's wedding is considered quite a long time.
"So... do you have any ideas?" Xia Niu asked Song Lili tentatively and cautiously.
"What are your thoughts?" Song Lili asked Xia Niu, then saw a flash of anger in Xia Niu's eyes.
"It's about my thoughts on marriage." Xia Niu looked at Song Lili's pretentious manner and felt extremely resentful.
"I don't have any ideas. Everything is decided by the big boss, and I won't participate," Song Lili said quite frankly.
Normally, this is indeed the decision made by the parents in the family, and what she said is not wrong.
However, the Song family is rather special. Song Lili is in charge of the family, and she manages all the money and banknotes in the house.
So, now that she's getting married, what will happen to all those things?
That's why Xia Niu asked Song Lili that question, but she didn't expect Song Lili to pretend not to know.
Song Lili sneered inwardly. This Xia girl has been acting arrogantly again lately.
Because she gave birth to a son, she felt like she was a hero, probably thinking she had secured her place in the family.
Therefore, recently they have been openly and secretly inquiring about the housekeeper's affairs, seemingly wanting to seize power.
But will Song Lili grant Xia Niu's wish?
"I...I know all that, I'm asking you..." Xia Niu was anxious, holding the child, her face showing her anxiety.
"What is it, sister-in-law? Is the baby hungry? Isn't it time for feeding?"
Xia Niu's words were interrupted by Song Fang, whose clear eyes looked at Xia Niu as if she knew everything.
Under such pure gazes, Xia Niu couldn't continue speaking. Looking at the child in her arms, who was indeed tugging at her clothes, looking for food.
Xia Niu knew that the baby was hungry, because she fed the baby at this time every day.
However, she hadn't finished asking her question, and she felt a little reluctant to leave now.
"Sister-in-law, if you don't hurry, the baby is going to start crying," Song Fang urged.
As soon as the flower fell, Song Hui burst into tears, waving her little hands and feet wildly.
"Sister-in-law, I think you should go inside and breastfeed the baby. We can talk about it later. The baby can't go hungry," Song Lili said softly.
"Well... okay, I'll breastfeed the baby first." Xia Niu was annoyed by Song Hui's crying, but at the same time, she felt sorry for him and could only agree.
After Xia Niu left, Song Fang wrinkled her nose and said, "Sister, don't pay any attention to her. She's always causing trouble and never stops."
"Judging from her behavior, she wants to take control of the family finances. Don't interfere, and see what the boss says later."
Song Fang knew that her older sister was in charge of the household now, but once her sister got married, someone else would have to take over.
The most likely candidate is Xia Niu, but nothing is certain.
Didn't my older sister manage things before?
"I'll ignore her and let her keep jumping around like that," Song Lili snorted coldly, her tone indifferent.
"Hmm, ignore her," Song Fang said, annoyed.
My older brother and sister don't care about these things, and both sisters are very perceptive, so there were no disputes between them before.
Unexpectedly, after Xia Niu married into the family, she started causing all sorts of trouble, doing all sorts of things just to gain the power of the housekeeper.
