After returning from town, Song Lili threw herself into her work. With only a few days left until the wedding, the whole family had stopped going to work and were busy preparing for Song Lili's wedding.
The clothes and blankets needed were all arranged by Song Yongren, and of course, Guo Guihua also helped out.
Because Song Lili has no mother and her grandmother has never offered any help, she can only seek help from Guo Guihua.
Guo Guihua also remembered how good Song Lili was to Yang Mei during her postpartum period, so she immediately agreed when Song Yongren mentioned it. In the past few days, she has been busy taking care of everything, treating it all as if it were her own daughter's business.
Song Lili was even more grateful for this.
With Guo Guihua's help, Song Lili's preparations were much faster, and Guo Guihua pointed out many things that had been overlooked.
And so, despite some bumps along the way, things were finally prepared smoothly.
As for Zhang Qinghua's side, the preparations were quite thorough. The betrothal gifts—of course, they weren't called betrothal gifts at this time—were all prepared and sent to the Song family.
A few days before the wedding, Zhang Qinghua personally brought the betrothal gifts to the Song family and met Song Lili.
"Lili, we're getting married in a few days," Zhang Qinghua said excitedly.
Song Lili was also excited and emotional, nodding, "Yes, the wedding is in a few days."
More than anything, it feels unreal.
After all, in modern times, eighteen is considered an adult, the beginning of many things, and also the furthest point from marriage.
If someone had told Song Lili before that she would get married at eighteen, she would have laughed at that person for being delusional; it was simply impossible for them.
But now? She actually did it, and willingly at that.
Is this... the right time to find the right person, so age doesn't seem to be a problem at all?
"Lili, wait for me, wait for me to come and get you." Zhang Qinghua said this to Song Lili before leaving.
The newlyweds are not allowed to meet before the wedding, but Zhang Qinghua was too excited and ended up delivering the betrothal gifts himself.
However, even if he met Song Lili, he wouldn't be able to say much.
So, after saying that, Zhang Qinghua left.
Song Lili thought with amusement that Zhang Qinghua seemed genuinely happy and excited.
Otherwise, someone who is usually so composed would suddenly act like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, looking rather silly.
But Song Lili's heart was indeed warm and sweet.
With everything prepared, it was time for the couple's wedding.
That evening, Xia Niu brought Song Lili's clothes to her, saying, "Lili, this is the wedding dress I prepared for you."
As Xia Niu spoke, she handed the bright red dress she was holding to Song Lili.
Song Lili reached out and took it. Looking at the glaring red, she was slightly moved and said in a low voice, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"No need for thanks. It's what I should do," Xia Niu said with a smile, as if she were in charge.
Song Lili glanced at her and said, "No matter what, I still want to thank you. You've done a lot of hard work these past few days."
"You're Jianshe's sister, it's all I should do." Xia Niu kept repeating the same thing.
I just laughed and didn't say anything.
Xia Niu stood there for a while, feeling awkward and a little uncomfortable, and her hands and feet were starting to feel a bit out of control.
"Lili, well... you should rest. You have to get up early tomorrow. I... I'll go now." Xia Niu said reluctantly at the end.
"Okay," Song Lili nodded.
A flicker of disappointment and deep anger flashed across Xia Niu's eyes before she slowly turned around and shuffled out step by step.
After Xia Niu left, Song Fang pouted and said, "I really can't stand this sister-in-law."
Song Lili patted her head with amusement, "Don't pay any attention to her, just keep things polite to her."
Xia Niu has too many hidden thoughts, and Song Lili doesn't like her either.
So, as long as it looks presentable, that's fine.
"Fangfang, this is the family's money. I'm giving it all to you, but keep it for yourself. Don't give it to your father or sister-in-law. Just hide it away."
“If you need money in the future, you won’t have to ask them for it, and you won’t have to worry about your sister-in-law’s feelings.”
The relationship between a sister-in-law and her husband's sister is also very delicate, not much different from the relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Therefore, Song Lili was worried that if she got married, Song Fang might suffer mistreatment at home.
Therefore, she had already decided to leave all the family's assets to Song Fang. With money to rely on, she would always have more confidence.
"Sister, I don't want it." Song Fang refused, feeling that she had no need for money and that even if she needed it later, she could ask her uncle for it.
"Fangfang, listen to me, take it." Song Lili ignored Song Fang's refusal and stuffed it directly into her hand.
"I don't want it. This is the money you earned from selling vegetables. It's yours." Song Fang stubbornly returned it.
Song Lili laughed, "That's why I'm giving it to you."
If we really want to clarify, this money is all Song Lili's private savings, which is why Song Fang refused.
“No need, my sister is married, your brother-in-law will give it to me.” Song Lili comforted Song Fang, “These are from your sister.”
"Life will be tougher for you at home from now on, so having money will make things easier."
Xia Niu certainly wouldn't think of giving Fang Fang money, and Song Yongren and his son, being men, aren't that thoughtful and might not even consider it.
So, if Song Fang really needs money in the future, she'll be at a loss.
Song Lili is preparing for that time right now.
“But…” Song Fang still wanted to refuse.
Song Lili pretended to frown and said, "What? You're not listening to me now? You're not going to treat me like an older sister anymore?"
"You... sigh... okay, I'll take it, I'll take it, alright?" Song Fang sighed and reluctantly took it.
In the end, she still felt uncomfortable and muttered, "I know you're doing this for my sake, but I just don't feel comfortable."
"When I need money in the future, I can just ask my father-in-law for it. I am his daughter, and he will take care of me."
Song Lili sighed. Although Fangfang was insightful, she was still a child without her own thoughts and couldn't think that far ahead or into such depths.
Now that she's married, Song Jianshe and his wife will definitely be in charge of the household finances, and all the money and paper money will be in their hands.
The power in Song Yongren's hands will gradually slip away, and even if Song Fang needs help in the future, Song Yongren probably won't be able to help her anymore.
By then, Song Yongren will be powerless to do anything. If Xia Niu is determined not to give it to him, what will she do?
"Fangfang, just hide it well, you'll find out later."
Song Lili gave Song Fang about four hundred yuan, including three hundred yuan from Luo Weijia and more than one hundred yuan saved from selling vegetables.
