After finishing the exam, Song Lili felt as if she had let go of a burden, and she felt completely at ease.
She felt pretty good about herself; after all, she answered all the questions and didn't leave any blank.
With Zhang Qinghua's company, she became much lazier and reverted to her old ways, no longer wanting to read.
She was four months pregnant at this point, and you could see her lower abdomen was slightly protruding, and her body was a bit heavier.
All he wanted to do every day was lie down or eat, which worried Zhang Qinghua a lot.
That day, she was making a fuss about going out again, and Zhang Qinghua had no choice but to block her way and prevent her from leaving.
"Lili, it just rained, the ground outside is all muddy and slippery. What if you fall?"
"Why don't you stay home and play with Xiaochen today? You can go out when the weather clears up, okay?"
"I won't stop you then, okay?"
Zhang Qinghua felt like he was raising a daughter, and he had to coax her.
Lili's personality wasn't like this before. In the past, she could understand things without him having to tell her.
But unexpectedly, this pregnancy changed her personality; she became much more childish and always wanted to play.
If they disagree, I'll act cute, charming, and even resort to pleading and whining. I'll use any method that can achieve my goal.
And now she's making a fuss about going out to find Zhao Qian.
"No, I already made a promise to Grandma Zhao. I will go to see her today. A person cannot break their word."
"So I have to go, you better get out of the way or it'll be too late," Song Lili said anxiously, pushing Zhang Qinghua.
Song Lili quickly grabbed her hand, afraid that she might lose her balance and fall. "Grandma Zhao will understand if you don't go today, after all, you are carrying two babies now."
"How about I go and tell Grandma Zhao that we're not going today, and we can go another day?"
The road outside was already uneven and full of potholes, and with the rain, it became even muddier. I was afraid of slipping and falling because of the wet and slippery ground.
That's why Zhang Qinghua tried to stop it.
But Song Lili didn't want to listen. She just wanted to go out today and didn't want to stay at home.
"No, a person must keep their word. If I say I will do something, I must do it today."
Song Lili and Zhang Qinghua were at odds; in short, they both insisted on leaving the house today.
The two of them pulled and tugged at each other, blocking the doorway, which also drew the attention of the other family members who could hear them.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Shengtian asked.
"Big brother, please do something about him, he's talking about me." Song Lili looked at Zhang Shengtian with a wronged expression and acted coquettishly.
Zhang Shengtian looked at his daughter-in-law with some helplessness. In the past few months, she had been a real headache for the whole family.
"Why did he say that about you?" If it were before, Zhang Shengtian would have scolded Zhang Qinghua without saying a word, but now? He had to ask.
"I...I just...he just wanted to insult me, he didn't like me, yes, that's it." Song Lili stammered, finally pointing at Zhang Qinghua and saying it with a straight face.
“Lili…” Zhang Qinghua was even more helpless. He disliked her? When did this happen? Why didn’t he know it himself?
Seeing his son's helpless expression, Zhang Shengtian understood perfectly well. He could only look helplessly at Song Lili.
"Are you about to go out?" Otherwise, the two wouldn't be arguing and pulling at each other at the door.
"No...no..." Song Lili said stubbornly, but she lowered her head guiltily.
She knew she shouldn't go out in this weather, but she just couldn't resist being willful.
"You," Zhang Shengtian sighed with a faint smile, "I don't care about your affairs as a couple. I have plenty of other things to do." With that, he left.
"Hey, sir, aren't you going to do anything about this?" Song Lili shouted from behind. If Zhang Shengtian didn't speak up, Zhang Qinghua definitely wouldn't let her leave.
"Sister-in-law, you're really... willful." After saying that, Zhang Qingguo picked up Xiao Zhe and left.
Lin Xue just smiled and left with Zhang Qingguo.
Only Little Baozi, with his hands behind his back, looked at Song Lili seriously and sighed solemnly, "Sigh, you are really willful."
That sweet, childlike voice, combined with that serious expression, is both adorable and hilarious.
Song Lili laughed angrily, put her hands on her hips and pointed at him, "I'm just being willful, what can you do about it?"
"I...Big Brother, what should I say?" Little Baozi couldn't answer the question and could only blink his nine eyes for help from Zhang Qinghua.
"If they don't obey, we'll use severe torture on them," Zhang Qinghua said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the little boy nodded and earnestly relayed, "If you don't listen, you'll be severely punished, hmph." He added a cold snort to himself.
"Hmph, how can you be so cute?" Song Lili pinched his chubby little face and asked happily.
"It hurts, let me go!" The little boy used his hands and feet, shaking his head violently, trying to get rid of Song Lili's clutches.
But is it really that easy?
Zhang Qinghua reached out and rescued his son. "Alright, stop teasing him. Let's go back. It's raining and a bit chilly. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"Hmph, I don't want to talk to you." Song Lili snorted coldly, then left the father and son behind and went back by herself.
She knew that she definitely wouldn't be able to get out today.
After the little dumpling disturbed her, she lost her interest and her lazy habit returned.
I went back inside and lay down.
The autumn harvest is over, the grain has been distributed, and now every household should be celebrating.
Wait a little longer until the potatoes are harvested, then the work in the fields will be completely finished.
The rest are just a few scattered tasks; those who have free time will go to work, while those who don't have to.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, Zhang Qinghua came in. He sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and reached out to touch Song Lili's face.
Song Lili opened her eyes groggily, not knowing why she still remembered being angry.
"Go away, I'm still angry."
"Hehe... Okay, you can be angry later." Zhang Qinghua was amused, never expecting her first words to be like this.
“Your cousin is here, she’s sitting in the main room, go and see her.” Zhang Qinghua picked her up to wake her up.
"My cousin? Zhou Lanlan?" It took Song Lili a long time to realize that her cousin was Zhou Lanlan.
She only has one cousin.
"Yes, I think something's wrong. They're sitting in the main room. Why don't you get up and go see them?"
Zhou Lanlan looked haggard, so it seemed something had happened. Zhang Qinghua didn't dare to delay and came to find Song Lili.
Even if she's sleeping, I can only wake her up, for fear she'll blame me when she wakes up.
"Okay, I'll go take a look." Song Lili propped her head up and it took her a long time to come to her senses before she could barely speak.
Then, she put on her shoes and followed behind Zhang Qinghua, who led her by the hand towards the main room.
