Song Yongren couldn't help but nod. His two daughters were well-married, with good husbands, and the children were sensible and obedient. This time, he was completely at ease.
He then picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He hadn't eaten his daughter's cooking for several years, and this meal really made him miss it!
Everyone was happily eating, but Zhang Aiai was furious; she felt that no one welcomed her there.
Since she arrived, she has never been greeted with a kind expression; everyone is dissatisfied with her.
Zhang Aiai glared at Song Lili. This must have been instigated by her, otherwise why would the big brother suddenly change his expression?
And that brat, how could a little kid say such things? It's obvious he was taught beforehand.
Song Lili, you've gone too far.
And Dada, he hurt her too. How could he treat her like that? He used to be so good to her, what happened to him?
Why is there such a big difference between how she treats her children and how she treats her older brother's children?
Why is it that the older brother's child is all smiles and pleasantries, while hers is met with cold stares and hostility?
That's not fair.
But seeing everyone eating happily, and even Fang Yaoqing wolfing down his food like a starving ghost, Zhang Aiai felt very wronged.
Why doesn't anyone care about her?
Her husband and daughter only cared about eating themselves, and she could only swallow her bitterness alone.
Zhang Aiai also lowered her head to eat, but felt that the food was tasteless and had no flavor at all.
Fang Xiaotao had been reprimanded by Zhang Qinghua twice, and later threatened by Fang Yaoqing once more. She no longer dared to act as unruly and do whatever she wanted as she did in the village.
She still remembered that Zhang Qinghua had at least said that if she wasted food, she wouldn't be able to eat. So she ate very carefully, finishing what was in her bowl before taking more. Although she preferred meat, no one said anything.
If you like to eat, then eat more. Everyone is generous; we just can't stand seeing food go to waste.
So, Fang Xiaotao gradually figured out everyone's attitude: as long as she didn't waste food, she could eat whatever she wanted.
Fang Xiaotao was overjoyed. There were so many things here that she had never eaten before, and she really wanted to try them all.
So I ate everything, and quite a lot of it, until I was stuffed, but I still craved it.
When she wanted to eat again, Song Lili stopped her, saying, "You can't eat anymore, or you won't be able to sleep tonight. Besides, it will upset your stomach."
Seeing Fang Xiaotao's reluctance, Song Lili said gently, "If you want to eat it, your aunt will make it for you again tomorrow. You can't eat it anymore, or you'll feel unwell."
This child ate a big bowl of rice and a lot of vegetables; he can't eat anymore.
Although Fang Xiaotao was still disappointed, she was happy to hear that there would be more tomorrow. She put down her chopsticks and smiled happily, "Thank you, Auntie."
Song Lili smiled and said, "You're welcome."
This was the first time Fang Xiaotao had called her "aunt" since she came here, and it was because of food, which made Song Lili both amused and exasperated.
However, when this child is being so well-behaved, he is still very endearing.
After the children finished eating, they didn't want to sit still and started moving around, touching and fiddling with everything.
"Kids, go play!" Zhang Shengtian waved his hand, seeing how anxious they were, and let them go.
The children cheered and ran off to play the games they had played before dinner, leaving only the adults at the table.
Then, Song Lili was glared at by Zhang Aiai again.
Song Lili: "..." What did I do to offend you? Why are you glaring at me like that? I'm completely innocent, okay?
Song Lili smiled, lowered her head to eat, and pretended not to see it. There was no need to make herself uncomfortable because of Zhang Aiai.
Her reaction made Zhang Aiai even angrier.
Song Lili, don't think that just because you married my older brother you're the mistress of this house. This is my older brother's house.
Do you really dislike my daughter that much? You won't even let her eat. How can you be so heartless?
And what about my brother and uncle? Aren't they going to say anything?
Even if Zhang Aiai was angry, no one noticed, and no one knew what her mentality was. Anyway, people rarely looked at Zhang Aiai.
After the meal, the ladies went to the kitchen to clean up, while the gentlemen tidied the table, each made a cup of tea, and sat down to continue chatting.
Of course, the disharmonious elements remain disharmonious.
After Song Lili and the others came out of the kitchen, they sat down at the table. Since they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they naturally had a lot to talk about.
Song Yongren first talked to Chu Ci for a while, asking about her recent life, work, children, and in-laws, before she finally relented.
Daqing then pulled Xia Jun aside to inquire about his family's situation. He and his wife hadn't been home for a long time and usually only called each other.
But I couldn't put my mind at ease, fearing that something was being kept from them. Since Xia Jun was here, I naturally wanted to find out the truth.
After seeing that Song Yongren and Chu Ci had finished talking, Wang Daming started chatting with Song Yongren.
They talked about their past life and what had happened since they separated over the years, and they were very happy.
Song Yongren had watched Wang Daming grow up step by step and liked the boy very much. Since he was also his daughter's friend, they became even closer.
They sat chatting in twos and threes, but Zhang Aiai and her husband seemed to be isolated from the outside world, unable to enter.
Whether others noticed or not, Song Lili didn't know, but Song Lili did notice.
But even if she finds out, she won't say anything. Zhang Aiai has caused herself so much trouble, can't she just ignore it?
Song Lili pulled Song Fang and Lin Xue aside to discuss matters concerning the shop.
Since all three of them own shops, they naturally have a lot in common and can understand each other's ideas, so the conversation is very lively.
An hour later, the group was broken up because Zhang Shengtian asked, "Lili, when does Xia Jun start work?"
"Anytime is fine. We've already made arrangements with them. Xia Jun can go anytime he wants."
A few days ago, she even made a special trip for this matter.
Speaking of this, Song Lili remembered that there were still some things she hadn't told Xia Jun, so she mentioned them.
"By the way, Xia Jun, I'll take you to see where you'll be working tomorrow. Once you've been there, you should remember it."
"The owner of your factory is my friend, but he also said that if you don't work hard, he will fire you, so you have to be serious."
Although she knew Xia Jun wasn't that kind of person, Song Lili felt she should still say something, better to be upfront and clear things up beforehand.
If something really goes wrong later, then Xia Jun will have nothing to say, since he had warned him beforehand.
"I understand, Sister Lili, don't worry, I will work hard." Xia Jun nodded.
Xia Jun would be even more grateful if Sister Lili could find him a job; he didn't want to cause Song Lili any more trouble.
Therefore, he made up his mind that he would work hard in the future, and he couldn't let Sister Lili lose face in front of her friends, make them unhappy, or make them laugh at her.
