As for her, it's not that I can't stand seeing her, but I don't have her either, and it's impossible for me to get close to her.
Finally, Song Lili summarized it as envy, jealousy, and hatred, which is why her attitude was always so strange.
Ignoring Xia Niu's attitude, Song Lili subtly inquired whether Song Yongren was truly alright.
They said they had caught a cold a while ago, and that was it.
From Song Jianshe's words, Song Lili also realized that the letter was probably not written by him.
Or rather, he knew nothing about the comparison.
Song Lili frowned, looking at Xia Niu bending over to cut wheat not far away. What exactly did she want to do?
They called her back, but didn't say anything.
Song Lili recalled Xia Niu's strange behavior the first time and now understood why.
Xia Niu already knew she would come back, so she wasn't surprised.
But what was her motivation?
Xia Niu didn't say anything, and Song Lili didn't ask. They were very steady, working in the fields every day and chatting with Song Yongren. They lived a comfortable and carefree life.
That evening, when Song Lili said she was leaving the next day, she saw Xia Niu quickly look up at her, then move slightly before falling silent again.
Is this... about to be taken action? Song Lili waited quietly.
"Lili, go to the kitchen and help me for a bit," Xia Niu said as she went out.
Song Lili smiled, "So, it's finally time to make a move, isn't it?"
She readily stood up, said "okay," and then followed them out.
The two of them have been doing this for the past few days, and no one has thought it's abnormal.
Only Xiao Chen felt that her mother had acted a little strangely just now; there seemed to be a hint of malice in her smile.
Surely not? They were very well-behaved today and didn't make Mommy angry!
It's even more impossible for my maternal grandfather, uncle, and aunt.
Xiao Chen shook her head, thinking she might have misread it.
Did he really misjudge? Not at all. Song Lili just had a wicked air about her. She wanted to see why Xia Niu had called her out without telling Song Jianshe and the other man.
"Sister-in-law, what can I do for you?" Once in the kitchen, Song Lili didn't mention anything else, assuming she was genuinely there to help.
"Huh? Oh...you...you can watch the fire for me." Xia Niu answered somewhat flusteredly.
Song Lili's smile deepened as she squatted down to start a fire, watching Xia Niu with the air of someone watching a show.
Xia Niu was hesitant, uneasy, a little scared, and somewhat taken for granted.
His emotions were quite complicated at that moment, and his facial expressions were varied and hard to describe.
Song Lili simply admired the changes without asking any questions.
At times like these, whoever loses their composure will lose.
Song Lili is a very good businesswoman, and she is also a master in this field.
Naturally, he wouldn't reveal his secret from the beginning, so that Xia Niu wouldn't notice.
Xia Niu was really anxious, wondering why Song Lili hadn't said a word and whether she knew anything at all.
Xia Niu had a feeling that Song Lili knew about her impersonating Song Jianshe to write the letter.
He also lied to her, saying that Song Yongren was sick and asked her to come back.
But why doesn't she say anything? Why doesn't she ask? Why does she pretend nothing happened?
Could it be that they don't know yet? But that's impossible!
Otherwise, why would she look at me like that?
Xia Niu was caught in a dilemma, completely baffled by Song Lili's situation.
She was thinking that she would bring it up when Song Lili asked, but now that Song Lili wasn't asking, how could she say it?
Her plans were completely disrupted by Song Lili's silence!
"Sister-in-law, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up, the water in the pot is boiling, what are you going to do?" Suddenly, Song Lili interrupted Xia Niu's hesitation.
She pointed to the steaming pot, speaking with a serious expression, but her eyes held a sly glint.
If Zhang Qinghua were here, he would definitely say, "Song Lili is being naughty again, she's going to start playing tricks on people again."
But Zhang Qinghua wasn't there. Xia Niu didn't know Song Lili that well, so she didn't notice.
"Ah! I... I was thinking about something and didn't notice." Xia Niu was startled and looked at Song Lili with a somewhat panicked expression.
Then, I tried to suppress my panic, keep my voice steady, and swallow several times before I began.
She thought that if she spoke up, Song Lili would ask follow-up questions, but she didn't. She just pointed to the pot and said, "The water is boiling."
"I know...I know..." Xia Niu could only suppress those thoughts and go to cut the noodles and cook them.
Xia Niu, who had turned away, did not see the triumphant smile in Song Lili's eyes.
Song Lili continued to watch the fire, without taking the initiative to speak to Xia Niu.
After the meal, Xia Niu didn't find a chance to speak to Song Lili, let alone talk about anything else.
Seeing that Song Lili was about to leave after finishing her meal, Xia Niu became anxious and had to change her mindset.
"Lili, I...I have something to tell you." The moment Song Lili stood up, Xia Niu also stood up.
"What do you want to say?" Song Lili looked at Xia Niu with a calm expression, while also observing the expressions of the others.
Seeing the surprised expressions on Song Jianshe and Song Yongren's faces, good, it means that this matter was probably just Xia Niu's own scheme.
The slight anger that had been building up inside her dissipated, and Song Lili became more relaxed, sitting down again.
“Lili…” Xia Niu was horrified when she saw Song Lili’s calm expression, which even seemed to see right through her.
Song Lili, Song Lili, you're so good, you really know everything!
But you're just keeping quiet and refusing to say anything, are you trying to force me to open up?
At this point, Xia Niu's dislike for Song Lili seemed to have increased even more.
It's always like this, always like this, it will always end up like this.
Each time, Song Lili looked down at her with the air of a confident king.
This made her already jealous heart even more jealous, and even a little hateful and resentful.
Why? Why can she do this?
I really dislike her calm and collected demeanor.
Xia Niu's heart was in turmoil, and her face was changing color, looking quite colorful.
Xia Niu knew even better that she still needed Song Lili's help, so at this moment, she absolutely could not be willful or say anything that would offend anyone.
She endured it all, suppressing the turmoil in her heart.
"I'm the one who wants your help. It's...it's about my...family." In front of Song Jianshe's Song Yongren, Xia Niu felt very insecure and even lacked courage, feeling ashamed.
But what could she do? Her mother kept pressuring her to help her younger brother, or else she would suffer.
Xia Niu knew Chen Erhua's personality all along and understood what she was capable of doing.
So, after thinking it over, she wrote a letter to Song Lili, asking her to go home.
