"Sister-in-law, you're already up?" Zhang Aiai's voice was slightly hoarse, but without her previous harshness, she greeted Song Lili very calmly.
Song Lili initially wanted to ignore Zhang Aiai, since she disliked the person.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Aiai greeted her and even called her "sister-in-law," which made Song Lili feel dazed. How long had it been since she had heard those two words from Zhang Aiai's mouth?
Song Lili's gaze swept over Zhang Aiai's swollen eyes, which were almost invisible, and she nodded. "Why are you up so early too? Go back to sleep for a while."
"No need, I can't fall back asleep now that I'm awake. Is there anything I can help you with, sister-in-law?"
"No need, I'll just make porridge, it's very simple, you can wait outside."
Although Zhang Aiai's attitude was very good, Zhang Aiai still didn't want to stay with her. Who knows what might happen later?
Perhaps this was Zhang Aiai's plan? To make herself forgive her and then find them jobs.
After all, she just said last night that she could find them jobs.
Zhang Aiai rinsed her eyes with cold water and felt that the burning sensation had subsided, so she stopped.
She glanced at Song Lili, then smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'll go wait outside then."
She knew that Song Lili still disliked her and was wary of her, after all, she had done so many disgusting things in the past.
It's impossible to change her impression now.
Zhang Aiai wasn't in a hurry; she had already figured it out and would take it slow later.
Seeing that there wasn't much time left, Zhang Aiai went to Fang Xiaotao's room and woke the child up.
This child is really not learning properly. He should be taught properly in the future. Fortunately, he is still young and can still correct his behavior.
Otherwise, the child will be ruined.
When Song Lili came out again, she saw Zhang Aiai pulling Fang Xiaotao to wash up. The child was obviously still asleep, squinting and walking unsteadily.
In the courtyard, Zhang Shengtian and Zhang Qinghua got up, and everyone else heard the sound of the link being played, except for the children who remained silent.
Song Lili went to Xinyi's room, woke her up, and after she got dressed, she called Xiaochen and Xiaohui.
After the three children were tidied up, Song Lili brought out breakfast.
"Where's Yaoqing? Isn't he up yet? Should we go wake him?" Song Lili glanced around and noticed that Fang Yaoqing hadn't appeared yet.
An awkward expression appeared on Zhang Aiai's face, and then she said very unnaturally, "No need, don't worry about him, he won't eat."
Do you think you're at your own house when you go to someone else's? The sun's high in the sky and you still don't know you're up?
This made Zhang Aiai feel embarrassed.
But when she thought about how she used to be a dog like that, she felt ashamed. No wonder everyone disliked her; it was all because of her.
Song Lili didn't say anything more. She had only asked out of politeness. Since Zhang Aiai said it wasn't necessary, then it wasn't necessary.
Zhang Qinghua turned to look at Zhang Aiai and her husband's room. "Has he always been like this?"
Zhang Aiai nodded, "Yes, it's the same at home." So, all the housework at home is done by her and her in-laws, and even Xiao Tao does more than him.
"So, you've been keeping a lord over your head, is that it?" Zhang Qinghua's face darkened. "Why didn't you tell us?" If they had told us, would Fang Yaoqing still have done this?
"I..." Zhang Aiai blushed, not saying that it was because she felt the same way!
She was slightly better off than Fang Yaoqing in that she would go back to the fields after waking up, while Fang Yaoqing would beat her and make her go to the fields.
"Alright, stop asking, let's eat first." Song Lili stopped Zhang Qinghua, while Zhang Aiai was already quite embarrassed.
She doesn't want to hear arguing first thing in the morning, can't she just be quiet?
Zhang Qinghua looked at Song Lili for a long time before lowering his head to eat. He decided not to ask.
Zhang Aiai smiled gratefully at Song Lili.
I knew in my heart that she didn't say those words for my sake, but she really did save her.
Song Lili glanced at Zhang Aiai strangely. Why did she seem like a different person since this morning?
Or rather, she transformed into someone somewhat familiar to her, Zhang Aiai in her youth.
Song Lili didn't investigate further, thinking that it didn't matter to her. She didn't care whether Zhang Aiai changed or not; she would just remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
After dinner, Fang Yaoqing hadn't gotten up yet when Song Fang arrived with the child.
"Have you eaten? Do you want me to get you some?" Song Lili asked as she tidied the table.
Everyone else in the family is either in school or working, so she's the only one who's free right now, with Zhang Aiai helping her out.
Song Fang waved her hand, "No need, I ate before I came. Where's Dad? Still not up?"
"After eating, he said he was a little sleepy and went back to sleep." He's getting old, unlike a young man, and needs to rest properly.
Xia Jun, for example, was full of energy; you couldn't tell he'd been traveling for several days.
That's why it's good to be young!
Song Lili carried the plates and bowls into the kitchen. Seeing that she would be out in a while, Song Fang immediately sat down.
"Oh, you've had a change of heart? You're actually helping my sister now? You don't have some ulterior motive, do you?"
Song Fang's cool, sarcastic voice was full of sarcasm as she looked at Zhang Aiai provocatively.
She had long disliked Zhang Aiai; she had treated her sister very badly and deserved to be taught a lesson.
If this were the old Zhang Aiai, she would definitely have exploded, feeling that Song Fang was humiliating her.
But after thinking it through, Zhang Aiai realized that Song Fang was right; she had indeed disliked her before.
She didn't speak, she just looked at Song Fang.
"What are you doing? Why are you looking at me like that? What are you up to? Let me tell you, I'm not like my sister, putting up with things just to save face for my brother-in-law."
"If you're going to court death, I can play with you for a while." Song Fang stared at Zhang Aiai warily.
Zhang Aiai smiled bitterly. It seemed that her bad reputation had become known to everyone and was loathed by everyone.
Zhang Aiai smiled wanly, "Don't worry, I have no intention of causing trouble for my sister-in-law."
What's the point? Isn't it better for a family to live together peacefully? Why make such a fuss and cause chaos?
Even if it's just to avoid causing her worry, she won't have any more conflicts with her sister-in-law.
Her sister-in-law probably won't bully her; she can live a peaceful life from now on.
"Tch, who would believe that!" Song Fang scoffed, not believing Zhang Aiai's words at all, thinking that Zhang Aiai must have ulterior motives.
How can someone suddenly become better overnight? Perhaps it is possible, but that person is not Zhang Aiai.
Therefore, Song Fang stayed away from Zhang Aiai and avoided her at all costs.
Zhang Aiai smiled wryly. Indeed, a person cannot change overnight.
But what if this person is provoked by the person they care about most? Would they suddenly become better?
"Yes," Zhang Aiai thought firmly, looking into the distance.
Because that's the person she cares about most, the last thing she holds dear in her heart. For that person, she will become better and better.
