Song Lili waited until things had completely calmed down before putting down her textbook and leaving the room to prepare breakfast for everyone that morning.
"Are you all up?" Song Lili asked calmly, as if she herself had just gotten up.
"Yes, sister-in-law, you're up too?" Lin Xue nodded and gently tugged at Zhang Qingguo's sleeve to stop him from having such a dark expression.
"Sister-in-law..." Zhang Qingguo called out stiffly.
"Everyone got up quite early today. What would you like to eat? I'll make it." Song Lili rolled up her sleeves and prepared to go to the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Aiai then launched an attack, saying, "Song Lili, what are you pretending for? Didn't you hear us arguing just now?"
"You've been hiding inside, listening to our jokes, haven't you? And now you're pretending to be a good person? Bah..."
Zhang Aiai spat out a mouthful of saliva, which landed at Song Lili's feet.
Song Lili's face darkened with anger, and her eyes turned sinister. "Heh..." she sneered.
"What does your marital quarrel have to do with me?" Song Lili stared coldly at Zhang Aiai.
"Why should I watch your jokes? I'm not that free, nor do I have the time or inclination to care about other people's business."
"I only care about my family. Are you satisfied with my answer?" Song Lili's clear voice was cold.
“You…” Zhang Aiai’s face turned ashen with anger, her fists clenched, wishing she could rush up and beat Song Lili up.
"..." Zhang Aiai couldn't think of a rebuttal.
What should she say?
Is it true that the couple's arguments were related to Song Lili?
Or, to explain why Song Lili needs to pay attention to the couple?
She can't say anything; what's the point of saying anything?
What can we say now that Song Lili has already said such things?
"I'll go make breakfast." Song Lili looked up again, gave Zhang Aiai a cold look, and went to the kitchen.
If it weren't for saving face for Zhang Shengtian and Zhang Qingguo, she really wanted to give Zhang Aiai a good dressing down.
What? Do you still think you're a teenager? Saying whatever you want?
After all these years, his mind hasn't cleared up at all; he's still full of nonsense.
She disdained arguing with such a person, as it would lower her own standards.
“Song Lili…” Zhang Aiai shouted angrily from behind.
Song Lili didn't want to pay attention, but she eventually got annoyed by Zhang Aiai's behavior.
"Zhang Aiai, at the very least, I'm still your elder brother's wife, and you should still call me sister-in-law." Don't yell and shout; it makes you seem ill-mannered.
Song Lili didn't say the last sentence, as it would embarrass Zhang Shengtian, and it wasn't her intention.
"Aiai, be more sensible!" Finally, seeing that Zhang Aiai still looked like she wanted to devour someone, Zhang Qingguo roared angrily.
The atmosphere at home was unpleasant from the start of the morning.
Zhang Shengtian sensed it when he returned, not to mention his daughter's dark, grimy face.
"What's wrong now?" Zhang Shengtian asked Zhang Qingguo, still worried.
"Big Brother, what happened to Ai'ai? She wasn't like this before. She was such a cute girl. How did she become so unreasonable?"
Zhang Qingguo still couldn't understand how his adorable younger sister had turned into such a shrew.
"Sigh! It's all our fault for spoiling them, it's all our fault for spoiling them." Zhang Shengtian couldn't help but feel annoyed.
In my heart, I understood why the atmosphere at home was so bad so early in the morning—it was all because of this daughter.
Zhang Shengtian couldn't help but sigh again. He couldn't understand how his perfectly good daughter had turned into this.
She used to be so cute and sensible!
Neither the father nor the son realized that the reason they thought Zhang Ai'ai was cute before was because they had viewed her with tolerance.
Little did they know that life is an invisible knife that can sculpt a person into an unfamiliar form without their knowledge.
During the years they were separated, Zhang Aiai, who lived with her husband's family, was gradually changed.
Her selfish nature hasn't changed; she's learned all those rural shrewish tricks again. Now, she's just so annoying!
These were things that neither the father nor son had considered, but Song Lili had.
Time changes everything, Song Lili always knew that.
It's not surprising that Zhang Aiai has become like this.
She was just feeling sorry for herself; she was really unlucky to have met such a sister-in-law.
There's nothing I can do but bear it. Luckily, I'll be going back in a few days, otherwise just thinking about you gives me a headache.
Song Lili didn't take it to heart; in her opinion, it wasn't worth it!
Zhang Aiai may have had some goodwill towards her when she first married into the family, but that has long since vanished.
Song Lili's attitude towards Zhang Aiai was the same as her attitude towards Xia Niu: if you don't offend me, I won't offend you.
It's good that everyone is at peace.
Song Lili's breakfast was simple: plain porridge, steamed buns, and a few side dishes, which was quite a hearty breakfast.
She called the children out for breakfast before tidying up for her youngest daughter.
She didn't want to sit at the same table as Zhang Aiai for a meal, fearing she would feel nauseous and want to vomit.
I couldn't help but beat someone up!
Zhang Shengtian watched his eldest daughter-in-law's departing figure and sighed deeply again.
Sigh... The children are conflicted again, and he can only watch anxiously, powerless to do anything about it. It's so painful!
He knew in his heart that there was a conflict between his eldest daughter-in-law and his daughter; his daughter was always picking fights, while his daughter-in-law always gave in.
However, this has its limits; it's not something that can be yielded to forever.
Once patience runs out, what follows is a full-blown explosion.
The daughter-in-law is no longer willing to tolerate this, and if it happens a few more times, a conflict is likely to break out.
Zhang Shengtian was unaware that the conflict had already arisen, but Song Lili simply didn't take it to heart and didn't hold it against Zhang Aiai.
Otherwise, a major battle would have broken out at home long ago.
After Song Lili left, Zhang Aiai sat down and started eating in a huff, without even asking a question.
Looking at his daughter who was so irresponsible, Zhang Shengtian was filled with worry and helplessness.
My daughter, you've changed, you're not the same as before.
She won't listen to her old man anymore.
A son grows up and is no longer under his mother's control! He can't manage him anymore.
Zhang Shengtian didn't say anything, he just buried his head in his food, not wanting to say anything, feeling disheartened at this moment.
The excitement and anticipation of going home were gone, replaced by helplessness, worry, and... regret.
I regret spoiling my daughter too much in the past and not educating her properly.
He was a grown man who couldn't understand girls' thoughts, which ultimately ruined his daughter's life and turned her into a unreasonable and irrational person.
All the other mistakes were his fault, everything was his fault!
It was him, it was him who ruined our daughter, it was him who ruined our daughter!
Zhang Shengtian wiped his face, his expression a complex mix of emotions, neither fully crying nor fully sobbing.
