Song Lili sat leisurely in the courtyard, watching the yellow leaves that were about to fall tremble and hang precariously on the branches. She thought to herself that the weather was about to get cold again and winter was coming.
When she was a child, living in the countryside, her favorite season was winter. That way, she wouldn't have to work and could stay home, play, and do whatever she wanted.
Now, I don't like it as much anymore. Although I don't hate it, I'm also a little scared.
There is no global warming yet, and winter is still a real winter, so cold that it hurts your hands.
Therefore, every winter, Song Lili has to wrap herself up like a rice dumpling to make the winter feel less unbearable.
Suddenly, Song Lili realized that the leaves on the trees were turning yellow, and Xia Jun should be arriving soon. It was autumn, and there was nothing else to do in the fields.
Xia Jun said back then that he would come to the capital when the work in the fields was almost done. Now, it should be soon, right?
Knowing that Xia Jun was coming, Song Lili made a trip to tell the friend at the company Xia Jun had contacted about the situation.
"When you arrive, just bring the person here. The work has already been arranged, and the person can start working immediately upon arrival."
Ever since Song Lili mentioned it last time, he had been ready and waiting for the person to arrive so he could start working.
Song Lili nodded, "Thank you. The person will probably be here soon. I'll come and bother you again then, and treat you to a meal as a thank you gift."
This time, I guess I owe someone a favor. I'll repay it when I have the chance.
"Great idea! Let's get together properly then." My friend was delighted and immediately agreed.
Thinking that if the two of them get along well, there will be fewer troubles when they have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.
Song Lili knew what he was thinking and understood that everyone felt the same way.
After finalizing the matter with Xia Jun, Song Lili went home and enjoyed a few leisurely days.
That day, she suddenly received a phone call at home from Zhang Aiai.
Song Lili thought it would be convenient to install a telephone at home for doing business, so she did. Now Zhang Aiai is calling.
"Hello... this is Song Lili."
“Sister-in-law, it’s me, Ai’ai…” Zhang Ai’ai said with a smile on the other end of the phone.
"Is that Ai'ai? Did you come to town today?" The phone is only available in town. The village phone is so precious that villagers are often refused access to it.
Therefore, you can only make a phone call in town.
"Yes, the work in the fields is almost done, so I thought I'd come to town to buy some things I need for the house." Most importantly, I wanted to make a phone call.
However, she naturally wouldn't tell Song Lili any of this.
"Is everything alright at home? How was the harvest this year? When I went back in June, I thought things should be pretty good." Song Lili sat down next to Zhang Aiai and lazily chatted about trivial things.
"Yes...it's pretty good. This year has been a bumper harvest, very good." Zhang Aiai's face was a little stiff because she suddenly remembered that Song Lili had gone back during the summer vacation.
So, she can no longer say those things she had originally thought of, but she doesn't want to give up like this.
After a long silence, she said, "Sister-in-law, how is Dad? Is he well? I haven't seen him in a long time, and I don't know how he is doing."
Song Lili raised an eyebrow. Did Zhang Aiai know about their family relationship?
"Grandpa is doing well, in good health, and now he takes care of his grandson every day." He holds his granddaughter every day, beaming with joy, and is living a comfortable life.
"That's good. I was worried. I'm relieved to know that Dad is healthy."
"Your father is in good health," Song Lili said casually.
"Sister-in-law, I...I want to go see Dad, is that alright?" she said, waiting very cautiously for Song Lili's answer.
Song Lili smiled slightly and said, "Of course you can. You are his daughter, so it's only right that you come to see him. What's wrong with that?"
As the sister-in-law, could she really say no? Wouldn't that be considered bullying her sister-in-law? Overbearing?
Song Lili is not that kind of person. She would never do such a thing!
"That's good, sister-in-law. I'm thinking of going in a few days. Once things at home are done, I'll have more time."
“Okay, call me before you get on the bus, and I’ll have your brother pick you up.” Song Lili herself was unwilling.
Song Lili hadn't forgotten what Zhang Aiai had done last time, so how could she possibly go and fawn over someone in the sweltering heat again?
"Okay, I understand, sister-in-law. I have something to do, so I'll hang up now," Zhang Aiai said hurriedly.
"good"
No sooner had Song Lili finished speaking than the sound of the phone being hung up came from behind her. Song Lili even wondered if Zhang Aiai had heard her last words.
After staring at the phone for a long time, he shook his head and said, "How urgent is this? Does he only care about the beginning and not the end?" At least put on a show of politeness!
Little did Song Lili know that Zhang Aiai was overjoyed to hear her agree, but also worried about the phone bill, so of course she had to hang up.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Aiai muttered, "It seems Yaoqing was right. If I call Song Lili, she won't be able to refuse."
Song Lili really couldn't refuse, so in the end there was only one answer: yes.
This is also why Fang Yaoqing's plan succeeded.
Song Lili didn't care. Even if Zhang Aiai really came, she wouldn't cause much of a stir.
Little did she know that Zhang Aiai's visit this time would really stir up quite a stir!
That evening, Song Lili told Zhang Shengtian and Zhang Qinghua about it, and they were both quite happy to hear it.
After all, they are blood relatives. Even if there are conflicts, they are still happy to see each other after these years.
However, Zhang Qinghua glanced at Song Lili with some worry. Ai'ai and Lili didn't get along, and now that Ai'ai was here, he wondered if it would cause any more conflict.
Ai Ai's dog has a bad temper, and if we really want peace and quiet at home, Lili will probably have to suffer again.
Thinking about it, Zhang Qinghua felt sorry for Song Lili and thought that he would have a good talk with her after returning to his room, so that she wouldn't feel wronged.
Inside the room, before Zhang Qinghua could even speak, Song Lili said, "Your sister's here. If she goes too far, don't blame me for getting angry!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qinghua immediately smiled and said, "No, don't worry. I was just about to tell you not to wrong yourself, but you said it first."
"Really?" Song Lili glanced sideways, secretly pleased that Zhang Qinghua would think that way. Since he had already said so, what did she have to worry about?
If Zhang Aiai does something really outrageous after she arrives, she won't be lenient.
I believe Zhang Shengtian and Zhang Qinghua at home will understand her, right? After all, they both know what kind of person Zhang Aiai is.
Besides, we're all under the same roof, and we know what happened. Why would we need to take Zhang Aiai's side? We'd probably feel awkward about it.
