After saying those words, Song Lili left, leaving Zhang Qinghua momentarily stunned. Once she realized what Song Lili meant by "I can help," a sweet, happy smile appeared on Zhang Qinghua's lips.
"Lili, what am I supposed to do with you?"
These weren't words spoken through gritted teeth, but rather words spoken with doting affection, indulgence, and love.
Every word carries warmth, happiness, and the tenderness between them.
Lili, you're so good to me, what am I supposed to do with you? How can I repay you for all that you've done for me and for your tolerance?
Ai Ai treated you like that before, but you were still willing to help. How could you be so kind?
Zhang Qinghua has never forgotten the conflict between his sister and Lili, nor has he forgotten the fact that the two of them don't get along.
But it always seemed to be Lili who gave in, and he knew in his heart why.
To avoid putting him in a difficult position, Lili always chose to keep the peace and tolerated Ai Ai every time.
This time it was the same; for his sake, she offered to help and made arrangements for sex.
Zhang Qinghua felt very happy, so for the rest of the time, he had a happy smile on his face, and those heavy things seemed to become less heavy.
"Big Brother, may I come in?" Song Lili knocked on Song Yongren's door and asked softly from outside.
"Lili? Come in quickly!" Song Yongren recognized Song Lili's voice and immediately came down to open the door.
These past few days, Song Lili has been taking them around the capital, visiting wherever they find something interesting.
Today was his day off, so Song Yongren felt a bit tired and came back to take a nap. After all, he's getting old and can't keep going without rest.
"Why are you here at this hour?" It's lunch break time, everyone's resting. "Is something wrong?"
"Big Brother, I've come to tell you that you should have dinner at Fangfang's place tonight. I'll take you there in a bit." The topic for discussion that evening wasn't suitable for Song Yongren here.
Although they are family, they are only in-laws and can't really get involved. But Song Yongren is in an awkward position here, so he might as well hide away and come back after things are resolved.
"Something wrong?" Song Yongren was a shrewd old man. Having lived for so many years, he immediately understood from Song Lili's words that she had something to do that made it inconvenient for him to be present.
Song Lili nodded. "Yes, it's about Zhang Aiai and Fang Yaoqing." Without further ado, Song Yongren should understand.
Song Yongren nodded. "Okay, I'll go to Fangfang's place in a bit. What about you? Aren't you going out?"
Lili isn't really suited to be here, but it's not suitable for her not to be here either. It's a real dilemma!
"I don't need to. You take the children and have dinner at Fangfang's place. I'll come pick you up once things are settled."
Otherwise, it would be even more awkward if they came back in the middle of the night.
"good"
Song Yongren didn't ask any more questions; it was a family matter, and he, as an outsider, wouldn't meddle.
"Okay, I'll tell Xiaochen in a bit." Otherwise, there's no way to get the children to agree.
Song Lili didn't hide it from Xiao Chen; he was a teenager, so he could probably understand.
"Take your younger brother and sister to your aunt's house later, and I'll pick you up tonight."
"Okay, I understand. So... what about my cousin? Is she in my heart too?" Xiao Chen asked.
These past few days, the little ones have been playing together, and there's no longer the phenomenon of them excluding Xiao Tao like before.
That's why Xiao Chen asked the question.
Song Lili was dumbfounded. She didn't know either. How could she know whether Fang Xiaotao should stay here or not?
"How about we see what your father thinks later? If he doesn't want Xiaotao to stay here, he'll definitely make her go with you."
If he didn't say it, then he wanted Fang Xiaotao to stay.
"Okay, I understand." Xiao Chen nodded, understanding what Song Lili had left unsaid.
Song Lili was also pondering this question: Should Fang Xiaotao stay?
Originally, she shouldn't have stayed at home; after all, she's still young and shouldn't be involved in adult matters.
However, she was one of the parties involved, so logically she should have known, and it shouldn't have been kept from her.
Song Lili didn't know what Zhang Aiai was planning, so she didn't say for sure whether Fang Xiaotao would go.
We'll see when the time comes.
When Song Yongren said he was going to Song Fang's place, Xiao Chen also said she wanted to go with him, wanting to go to her aunt's house.
Zhang Qinghua immediately realized that this was Lili's arrangement, to let them hide away so that they could resolve the lovemaking issue.
“Let Xiaotao go with them. The children have all gone, and she’ll be bored staying here alone,” Zhang Qinghua said to Zhang Aiai.
Zhang Aiai thought for a moment, but ultimately shook her head. "No need, let's not trouble Song Fang. Xiao Tao can just stay at home."
Xiao Tao should know about this, and she should support it. She also needs to ask Xiao Tao if she is willing to follow her.
Therefore, Xiaotao must be here.
Zhang Aiai's words made Song Lili realize that Fang Xiaotao was going to know, so she had nothing to say.
Zhang Qinghua sighed, and in the end said nothing, simply echoing Zhang Aiai's words.
Xiao Chen understood, and took her younger siblings to her aunt's house with her maternal grandfather for a meal.
Song Lili went to Song Fang's place and briefly explained the situation. The main point was to tell Song Fang that she hadn't come to pick them up and that they shouldn't come back.
Song Fang, being quick-witted and perceptive, naturally understood and assured Song Lili that she would do it, which put Song Lili at ease before she went home.
At home, none of Wang Daming and the other two were there; only the Zhang family members were present.
Taking advantage of this moment, Zhang Qinghua called Zhang Qingguo over, and then called Zhang Shengtian out.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Shengtian had just finished his lunch break when Zhang Qinghua called him out. He glanced around and asked, "Where are the in-laws? Where are the children?"
“My dad went to Fangfang’s place, and Xiaochen and the others went with him. They’re having dinner there tonight and won’t be coming back,” Song Lili said with a smile.
Zhang Shengtian nodded, "So that's how it is!" No wonder he didn't see anyone when he came out!
"Then why did you call me out?" Zhang Shengtian asked, looking at Zhang Qinghua.
Zhang Qinghua looked at Zhang Aiai, as if asking, "Should you say it or should I say it?"
Zhang Aiai thought for a moment and said, "Big Sister, actually I have something to say." She decided to say it herself.
Zhang Aiai pulled Fang Xiaotao to sit beside her before looking at Zhang Shengtian and speaking.
"What do you want to say, Ai'ai?" Zhang Shengtian's expression softened considerably when he saw Zhang Ai'ai.
"I...I called Dad and the brothers out because...I have something to tell you." Zhang Aiai licked her lips, looking rather nervous.
"Okay, go ahead and we're listening," Zhang Qingguo said gently.
"I...I...I don't want to be with Fang Yaoqing anymore, I...I want a divorce, I...I want a divorce."
