Song Lili glanced at it and found that it contained meat, eggs, noodles, and other ingredients, a variety of items, but in relatively small quantities.
But even if it's a small number, it's still an even number, symbolizing that the couple will be a pair and live happily ever after.
When they arrived at the Fifth Brigade, Song Yongren and his men were already waiting. Seeing the two enter, they quickly and warmly greeted them.
Upon entering the main room, Song Yongren looked at Zhang Qinghua and said with a smile, "I've been waiting for you since early this morning, thinking you must have arrived quite early."
"Go get some water quickly," Song Yongren said to Xia Niu and Song Fang, who were following behind him.
Xia Niu went out to get water after hearing what she was told, but Song Fang didn't move. She pulled Song Lili along and looked at her carefully.
"Sister, how have you been these past few days?" Song Fang whispered to Song Lili with concern.
She had seen how many wives in the village were not doing well in their husbands' families, which was why she was so worried about Song Lili.
Besides, Song Lili has a younger sister-in-law.
Song Lili smiled and patted Song Fang's head. "Your sister is fine, so don't worry. Don't you trust me?"
She doesn't seem like the type of person who would let herself be taken advantage of.
After thinking about it carefully, Song Fang realized that what Song Lili said seemed to be true. She really wasn't the type to compromise, so she felt relieved.
So, she started talking about other things. "I got up early this morning, just waiting for you and your brother-in-law to come over," Song Fang said playfully.
"Did you miss me?" Song Lili looked at Song Fang with amusement, but she was actually happy inside. Of course she was happy to be remembered by her family.
Song Fang nodded, "Of course, I've never been separated from my sister for such a long time before."
Song Yongren chimed in, "Yeah, I'm really not used to Lili not being home all of a sudden."
"I keep calling out Lili's name, but after I say it, I realize that Lili is already married."
"Looks like you all missed me." Song Lili couldn't help but laugh.
But Zhang Qinghua felt both happy and a little heartbroken.
You can tell from Song Yongren's words how much work Lili did in this family before.
The fact that she is always called Lili means that she has a lot of things to do. How could Zhang Qinghua not feel sorry for her?
If he could, he would want Song Lili to do nothing and just be happy.
Xia Niu brought in water and chimed in, "Yeah, it feels like something's missing since Lili's suddenly gone. It's kind of unsettling."
"That's because there are fewer people doing your work, that's why you feel uncomfortable," Song Fang muttered under her breath, pursing her lips.
The others didn't hear clearly, but Song Lili, who was closer, caught the gist of it. She chuckled and patted Song Fang on the head, telling her not to talk nonsense.
Song Fang pouted, looking a little aggrieved, then lowered her head, showing a touch of stubbornness.
Song Lili grabbed Song Fang's hand and squeezed it to reassure her, and Song Fang smiled again.
They talked for the whole morning. Xia Niu cooked lunch, and now that Song Lili was a guest, Song Yongren didn't let her into the kitchen.
Song Fang went to help Xia Niu, while Song Lili ignored Zhang Qinghua and the other two talking inside the house and came out by herself.
I wandered around aimlessly, but got bored, so I ended up going into the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, is there anything I can help you with?" she asked as she rolled up her sleeves.
"No, no, Lili, you're a guest today, how can you do this? Please go outside and sit down, Fangfang and I can do it." Xia Niu stopped Song Lili.
A slightly mocking smile appeared on Song Lili's lips. This Xia Niu really was reminding her all the time that she was already married.
A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; she's now an outsider.
Song Lili found it boring, so she stopped thinking about doing it, put down her sleeves, and stood at the door watching them do it instead of going out.
"Lili, are your in-laws good to you?" Xia Niu suddenly asked, her eyes filled with expectation and a hint of malice.
“It’s great. My father-in-law treats me very well, almost like his daughter Ai’ai. Qingguo seems to like me quite a bit too,” Song Lili said, stroking her chin.
Over the past few days, the Zhang family has indeed treated Song Lili very well, placing her on the same level as Zhang Ai'ai, their only daughter. How could they not treat her well?
However, this was not the answer Xia Niu wanted, and after hearing it, the smile on her face faded a little.
"That's good. I'll treat you well for the next few days. Lili, you're lucky to have found such a good man."
"Is your life unlucky, sister-in-law?" Song Lili raised her eyebrows and asked, "Or is it that my father-in-law and Fangfang treat you badly?"
Song Lili wasn't in the mood for playing games with Xia Niu, so she spoke very directly, making Xia Niu's face freeze.
"Lili, how could you say that? Dad... and Fangfang have been very good to me." Xia Niu said stiffly.
"I knew it! My uncle and Fangfang treat you better than your family does. I thought you weren't satisfied."
Chen Erhua's mother only treated Xia Niu like an animal, how could she possibly be good to Xia Niu?
Therefore, Song Lili's words can be considered as reopening Xia Niu's wounds and rubbing salt into them.
"Yes...yes, I..." Xia Niu's face turned ashen, filled with hatred and jealousy.
The hatred was directed at Chen Erhua for being so cruel to her daughter, and also at Song Lili, who said it out loud.
Of course, I'm jealous of Song Lili. Not only is her family good to her, but even after she got married, her husband's family treats her very well.
They're both girls, so why is Song Lili able to get all this? What makes her so special?
However, no matter how angry Xia Niu was, she dared not say anything.
Song Lili was always more assertive than her and wouldn't give her any face just because she was her sister-in-law. Having learned her lesson, she had already learned her lesson.
So, seeing that Song Lili was angry, she quieted down.
"So, I'm lucky to have married into a good family," Xia Niu said with an ugly smile, her face twitching slightly.
"It's good that you know, sister-in-law," Song Lili said calmly.
"Lili, you... used to be the head of the household at home, and now you're the head of the household at your husband's house too?" Xia Niu asked again after a while.
“Yes,” Song Lili said deliberately. She didn’t care who was in charge, as long as no one caused trouble.
But Xia Niu was clearly the one causing trouble, which is why Song Lili didn't let Xia Niu keep an eye on her.
Upon hearing Song Lili's answer, Xia Niu felt a pang of unease, her heart heavy with a heavy feeling.
Why? Why did Song Lili become the head of the household after marrying into the family, but she couldn't when she married into the family?
Although she's in charge now, she has no money and no money. What kind of person is she in charge?
Song Lili hadn't given her a single penny of the money she used to have.
Xia Niu wanted to ask Song Lili where those old things were, but Song Lili was too lazy to see her.
Seeing Xia Niu made him feel bad, so he turned around and left, not letting Xia Niu seize the opportunity.
