They were a family, but Xia Niu harbored such thoughts, which made her feel uncomfortable.
She could only try to ignore Xia Niu's sour tone and then... pretend she didn't hear it.
"Big brother, what are your plans for the future?" Song Lili asked Song Jianshe, who had been by her side the whole time.
She... wanted to know Song Jianshe's plans for the future.
"What other plans are there? Just farm, of course. What about housing?" Xia Niu interrupted Song Jianshe before he could even speak.
“Unlike you, who go to university and get a good job, we who haven’t been to school can only make a living by digging in the fields.”
That's a very harsh remark, and it even has the air of trying to sow discord.
Song Fang was furious. If Chu Ci hadn't stopped her quickly, Song Fang probably would have argued back.
During the years Chu Ci lived in the Song family, he knew that his sister-in-law was petty and easily envious and jealous.
The things they say are never pleasant to hear.
"I really like it here." Song Lili sensed Zhang Qinghua's unease and told him confidently.
She didn't want Zhang Qinghua to feel anxious and uncertain.
Besides, she really likes it here and doesn't mind at all.
This place is not so good for me right now.
As the country develops, it will become more and more valuable.
The house Zhang Qinghua bought will be worth millions in the future, so why would she look down on it?
Moreover, this was a gift from him, so it has a different meaning.
It's different from what she bought herself.
"Qinghua, I'm so happy and I really like the gift you gave me, so please don't overthink it, okay?"
"Although I could buy a better one, I prefer this one because you bought it for me."
"Because it's you, I'm even happier, do you understand?"
Song Lili thought for a moment and felt that she still needed to make things clear, otherwise what if Zhang Qinghua started to overthink things?
"I don't care whether this gift is expensive or not, but what I care about is your sentiment, your feelings for me. That's the most priceless thing, do you understand?"
When two people are together, it's not about who has more wealth, but about the depth of their feelings for each other.
If it's just about wealth, is it necessary for her to be tied to another person for life?
She has enough wealth to squander on her own.
She only cares whether he cares about her or not.
"I understand," Zhang Qinghua said, holding Song Lili's hand with emotion, his eyes softening. "I know everything."
"But this is a promise I made to you, something I should give you, which is why I'm afraid, afraid that you won't like it."
Zhang Qinghua wasn't such a fragile person; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to maintain his relationship with Song Lili even as she rose to prominence.
He's just nervous because he cares.
"I really like it," Song Lili said, holding Zhang Qinghua's hand tightly, telling him her feelings once again so that he could empathize with her.
"I know." Zhang Qinghua looked at Song Lili with deep affection.
If you didn't feel it before, you do now.
Lily didn't dislike it; on the contrary, she liked it very much.
Because her hands were trembling slightly as she held them, it was clear how excited she was.
Doesn't that show that she really likes it?
Zhang Qinghua knew Song Lili well; she had a calm personality and not many things could excite her like this.
Doesn't this...simply explain the problem?
Zhang Qinghua felt no longer anxious. He simply took Song Lili's small, delicate hand in his large one and slowly led her away from the residential area.
The wind blows, and everything seems sweet.
"Thank you," Song Lili said softly but sweetly.
Thank you for remembering my thoughtless remark, thank you for your kindness, and thank you for understanding me and walking alongside me.
"Thank you too," Zhang Qinghua replied, turning his head.
Thank you for deciding to be with me and have children with me. Thank you for never looking down on me and for always encouraging me.
Thank you for everything.
The couple were both grateful and thankful to each other.
After this incident, the couple's relationship seemed to have warmed up a lot, as if they had returned to the time when they first got married, all lovey-dovey and affectionate.
Upon returning home, Zhang Shengtian immediately noticed the change in the relationship between his son and daughter-in-law.
He didn't ask, but he was happy. A good relationship between his son and daughter-in-law meant a harmonious family and a better life.
It's good for the children too.
Zhang Shengtian went back to his room with a smile to see his granddaughter.
It was already afternoon, and Song Lili was so excited that she couldn't concentrate on anything. She just sat in the yard, lost in thought.
She thought to herself that her decision last night was absolutely right.
I had intended to spend some time with Zhang Qinghua, because he had never asked me to do that.
But who would have thought that in the end it would give me a pleasant surprise and a touching moment.
On the contrary, it brought me quite a lot.
Song Lili felt sweet inside. The two had been together for so many years, valuing both love and family affection. Sometimes, even she couldn't tell whether the affection between them was more familial or romantic.
At this moment, she was certain that love still mattered more.
Zhang Qinghua has never changed; he remains the same person he always was.
That evening, during dinner, Song Lili said to her two children, "Your father bought us a house. I'll take you to see it another day."
She felt that the children should know that their father was also making contributions to the family.
Because children often feel that their mothers do everything at home.
At the very least, Song Lili was involved in most of the expenses and household chores.
Even when Zhang Qinghua cooked, he mostly cooked for Song Lili.
Therefore, it is essential to let children know that their fathers are very important.
"Home?" Xiao Chen is already over ten years old, a middle school student, and can understand many things.
"Isn't this our home?" Xiao Hui was still a little confused, looking bewildered.
"Yes, home, that's the home Dad gave us, and this is the home Mom gave you."
Although one is enough for a family, there are still differences.
That is the parents' wish, their own wish.
"Where?" As soon as Song Lili said that, Xiao Chen understood what she meant. She glanced at Zhang Qinghua in surprise, then calmed down.
However, there was a change in his heart, but he didn't realize it.
"Is there anything different about Mom and Dad?" Xiao Hui was still confused.
“Of course it’s different, because it was a gift from your father,” Song Lili said proudly.
"Uh..." Zhang Shengtian's expression was somewhat indescribable as he looked at the somewhat arrogant Song Lili.
Why does my heart ache? This son only thinks about his wife and has forgotten about his father?
Xiao Chen just rolled her eyes. "Mom's here again. What's she showing off in front of them?" she thought.
Xiao Hui clapped his hands and said, "I want a gift too! I want a gift too!" He didn't realize at all that Song Lili was showing off.
