But she has already offended Song Lili, so what should she do now?
Zhang Aiai was just as Lin Xue had imagined; she regretted it so much she was heartbroken.
However, a tiny bit of pride prevented her from bowing her head and admitting that Song Lili was her only salvation.
Fang Yaoqing was also shocked. He hadn't expected there to be such a thing inside. It turned out that the one who could help them was Song Lili.
Did they fail because they abandoned the capable person and sought the wrong one?
Fang Yaoqing felt a surge of excitement, because if Song Lili was capable, then they wouldn't have to worry about not being able to stay outside in the future.
Disappointment followed, along with anxiety and fear.
Because he also remembered what his family had done and how they had treated Song Lili.
Thinking back to what had just happened, Fang Yaoqing felt utterly disheartened and wanted to slap himself.
I'll teach you to be blind and look down on others. Now you're getting your comeuppance, aren't you?
Immediately afterwards, Fang Yaoqing began to think about how to appease Song Lili and get her to help them again.
"I'm tired, I'm going to sleep." Zhang Shengtian stood up, his body seemingly much more hunched, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
Watching Zhang Shengtian's departing figure, Zhang Qingguo said to Zhang Aiai, "Aiai, you've broken Da Da's heart. He used to treat you so well, and this is how you treat him?"
"We're not asking you to be filial, but could you please think about your grandmother for a moment? Don't let her worry about you at her age, okay?"
Zhang Shengtian didn't have to worry about his two sons, but it was Zhang Ai'ai, this girl, who broke his heart.
Zhang Aiai subconsciously looked over and saw Zhang Shengtian's hunched back. Her eyes welled up and tears fell.
"Second Brother, I'm sorry." Did she really make Da Da feel so bad?
Moreover, her second brother also spoke to her in that tone, so was she in the wrong?
How helpless her second brother was, not even asking her to be filial to their father, only asking her not to cause their father any worry. How ironic this must have been for her.
She had thought before that she should take good care of her parents, but how did it turn out like this? What happened?
Has she changed?
After Zhang Qingguo and his wife left, Zhang Qinghua also returned to his room, leaving only Fang Yaoqing and his wife in the courtyard. Fang Xiaotao had already gone back to sleep.
"Ai'ai, we must make Song Lili calm down. Go apologize tomorrow. We absolutely cannot let her be angry with us, otherwise we won't be able to resolve the work issues."
"There's no one else here," Fang Yaoqing said, pulling Zhang Aiai along impatiently, as if giving a command.
Zhang Aiai pulled away from Fang Yaoqing's joking hand and said, "I'm tired and want to rest."
She was shocked and saddened by Zhang Qingguo's words.
Suddenly, she realized that, without her noticing, everyone's opinion of her had changed.
My older brother and I are more angry with me than they used to be.
She had completely forgotten that her father was already old and should be enjoying his retirement, but instead she had caused him worry.
In Zhang Aiai's mind, everything that had happened that day flashed by like a movie.
Since getting off the train at the station, not a single pleasant thing has happened. Every time, Da Da and Da Ge have just tolerated it.
Later, Song Lili and the others returned, and everything changed, and conflicts arose.
But this time, Zhang Aiai did not blame Song Lili, because she understood that it was not Song Lili's fault.
Song Lili, on the contrary, did a very good job and should be considered a model daughter-in-law.
Even if Xiao Tao went too far, she didn't turn against her; she simply didn't get involved.
Looking back on everything, Zhang Aiai realized that she had become repulsive and was no longer the Zhang Aiai she used to be.
No wonder Dada and her brothers said, "How did you change like this?" It turns out, she really has changed.
Put yourself in her shoes and imagine what you would do if you met someone like yourself. The result shocked her.
If she were in that situation, she would probably have already turned on them and started cursing. She wouldn't have been able to tolerate it.
But Song Lili was very forgiving and didn't turn against them.
Is this because of her father and brother? She doesn't think she has that much influence.
Zhang Aiai suddenly felt dazed, as if she were dreaming.
But she was conscious. She even remembered that when Song Lili had just married into the family, the relationship between the two women was very good.
This sister-in-law taught her a lot and also prevented her from embarrassing herself in her husband's family after she got married.
Otherwise, given her past behavior, she would probably have been scolded by her in-laws.
Later, when she and Xiao Tao were wronged, it was Song Lili who helped her older brother stand up for her.
But how did she change?
Zhang Aiai couldn't understand it, but for the first time, she calmly looked at the past, at Song Lili, and at everything about them.
Then she realized that she was completely wrong.
As I recalled Da Da's departing figure, tears streamed down my face again.
DaDa must be disappointed in himself, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't feel so powerless and helpless.
I don't even want to talk to her anymore.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong." Zhang Aiai covered her face and cried softly.
She didn't know why, but seeing Da Da's desolate figure tonight was like a sudden awakening, and everything became clear to her.
Zhang Aiai cried and cried until she fell asleep without knowing when, and she also didn't know when Fang Yaoqing returned.
The next morning, before dawn, Zhang Aiai was shaken awake by Fang Yaoqing.
"Get up, get up quickly, go make breakfast." Fang Yaoqing kicked Zhang Aiai, then lay down and continued sleeping.
"Ugh..." Zhang Aiai was kicked in the lower back, winced in pain, and then regained consciousness.
He remained motionless for a long time before he finally recovered. When he turned around, he saw Fang Yaoqing's feet still stretched out not far away.
Without even thinking, Zhang Aiai could figure out that she had just been kicked by Fang Yaoqing.
Zhang Aiai's tears quickly filled her eyes, for she had met such a person.
She suddenly realized that over the years, she had been influenced by Fang Yaoqing and had become increasingly unlikeable along with him.
Fang Yaoqing used to be quite good, otherwise the emperor wouldn't have married her off to him.
However, time is a medicine, and it has a different effect on everyone. Some people become better and more outstanding, while others become worse, just like her.
So, she was simply changed by time because her mindset was not firm.
Zhang Aiai opened her eyes and squinted. She had cried too much last night, and her eyes were swollen.
Since she was already up, Zhang Aiai went out to wash up and decided to go to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone.
However, upon opening the kitchen door, they found Song Lili already inside.
