It was only after Xiao Chen reminded her that Song Lili noticed that the atmosphere in the main room was a bit unusual.
She wiped her hands and asked Xiao Chen, "Do you know what happened?" She wasn't really suited to be in the main room.
Although they are family, she is now an outsider to the people in the main room.
Outsiders should not meddle in family matters.
Song Lili knew very well that she was not suitable and could not get involved.
So when she heard Xiaochen say that there was an argument inside, she just stopped and didn't go out immediately.
"It seemed to be about money, but I didn't hear it clearly." Xiao Chen shook his head. He didn't go over there and didn't understand.
I only caught half a word because the sound inside was a bit loud.
"Hey... never mind that. Take your younger siblings to their room. Don't come out unless I call you."
Song Lili probably understood why.
It all boils down to one word: money.
It's because they saw that the Zhang family was doing well now, so they took advantage of the situation.
To put it nicely, they're asking their in-laws for help; to put it bluntly, they know your family is doing well and they're here to freeload.
I'm afraid it's quite excessive.
Otherwise, Zhang Shengtian, being an open-minded person and not the kind of person who would hold grudges, wouldn't have started arguing.
Even Zhang Shengtian couldn't tolerate arguing with someone like that.
Song Lili didn't know the specifics, but it was nothing more than those few things.
Either ask for money directly, or ask Qingguo to help you find a good job. Alternatively, those with a more open mind might consider taking a share of Lin Xue's hunting business.
As for which one it is, it depends on how much Lin Xue told her family.
Song Lili eventually continued with her own busy work.
The atmosphere inside was unpleasant, but she couldn't be impolite, and there were still some things she couldn't leave out.
Even if they argue, they're still in-laws and relatives.
Song Lili thought it would be over soon, but to her surprise, the noise inside got louder and louder.
It was so big that Song Lili could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, or pretend she knew nothing.
Finally, she had no choice but to put down the vegetables in her hand, wipe her hands, and go out.
"What's going on? Why are they arguing?" Song Lili went in and quickly pulled the old lady, who was standing up with an angry look on her face.
"Auntie, don't be angry. Let's talk things out. Did Qingguo upset you? Make him apologize to you," Song Lili said, forcing herself to speak.
She couldn't afford to offend either side, but she also couldn't stay out of the situation. So, she had no choice but to offend someone she could afford to offend.
In the end, Song Lili chose to offend Zhang Qingguo.
Given the current situation, Zhang Qingguo is the only one who can take the blame; among these people, he is the most suitable to be the scapegoat.
"Don't be angry. Take care of yourself. Let's sit down and talk it over."
As Song Lili spoke, she insisted on pulling the old lady to sit down.
Song Lili's sudden intrusion broke the tense atmosphere, and everyone calmed down a bit.
"Auntie, have some water." Song Lili pushed the cup forward, looking at the old lady with a smile.
As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. She had a good attitude, so the old lady couldn't just cause trouble for no reason, could she?
Then Song Lili came in and asked everyone to stop briefly and not remain silent.
Seeing the somber atmosphere, Song Lili felt helpless. She wanted to go out, but... she couldn't leave.
Once Lin Xue grabbed me, how could I possibly leave?
Helplessly, he stood beside Lin Xue, remaining silent.
At this moment, she could only stand there like a wooden statue, waiting to see how Zhang Shengtian would handle things.
He is the head of the household and should make the decision.
“My dear in-law, I will not agree to this. Qingguo is just a small employee; he doesn’t have that much power.”
"We can't help you with this." After a long silence, Zhang Shengtian finally broke it.
However, the words that were spoken made the air tense again.
"Can't help? I think you just don't want to help, right? You've gotten so successful that you look down on people now, haven't you?"
"You can't even help with such a small favor? Who would believe that?" Lin Xue's sister-in-law's somewhat sarcastic voice was particularly sharp and even grating at this moment.
Song Lili couldn't help but frown; what this person said made her uncomfortable.
And wasn't the provocative intent in his words so obvious?
Song Lili didn't know what favors they wanted from Qingguo, but Zhang Shengtian had firmly refused, so it seemed they had bigger plans.
"We really can't help." Zhang Shengtian's face darkened further, but he still suppressed his temper and explained in a gentle tone.
The old lady snorted coldly, it was unclear whether she didn't believe Zhang Shengtian's words or was angry because of them.
"Is it because they've become rich that they've learned to look down on us poor relatives?"
"I wonder what they're really thinking, laughing at us for being poor, and yet being college students. Bah!"
At this moment, Song Lili was angry, and her discomfort was rising sharply.
Oh……
She really is quick-witted and has a sharp tongue.
Those words really hit home!
Is this person psychologically twisted?
Otherwise, what exactly is she jealous of?
Yes, jealousy. Song Lili heard deep jealousy and resentment in Sister-in-law Lin Xue's words.
What are you jealous of? What are you resentful about?
Will being jealous of them make your life better and better?
Are they resentful that others can go to university and have decent jobs?
But what does all this have to do with her?
They don't have all of this because of her!
Is this person mentally ill?
Song Lili forgot that sometimes a woman's jealousy is just that absurd, yet very real.
“Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?” Zhang Qingguo, who had been silent all along, spoke first.
Those words were clearly referring to Zhang Qingguo.
What did going to college do to deserve this?
"What do you mean? I'm saying you're ungrateful. Lin Xue suffered with you, and we finally looked forward to things getting better, and now you look down on her family!" Lin Xue's sister-in-law cried.
Song Lili smirked. This woman is something else. She can turn black into white. Impressive!
"Now, you're making excuses even when I ask you for a favor. Don't you have any conscience at all? How can you face Lin Xue?"
Song Lili laughed sarcastically again. It wasn't that she had a bad heart, but she really wanted to ask, what does Zhang Qingguo going to university have to do with Lin Xue?
He passed the exam by studying on his own, and he subsidized his own tuition. His family also paid for his food and other necessities.
Lin Xue never had to worry about it.
Lin Xue's greatest contribution was her unwavering support for Zhang Qingguo, which is what brings the Zhang family the most comfort.
Therefore, Zhang Qingguo treated Lin Xue even better than before.
In addition, with a good older brother as a role model, he has become an exemplary husband through constant influence.
Even though Lin Xue left home to busy herself with her business, Zhang Qingguo didn't say anything.
Don't you have any conscience?
