However, with a shy smile on her face, she said, "Of course, I welcome my cousin."
Sun Zixiang exclaimed with surprise, "Wow, it seems she really has changed. She's become more lively. Not bad, not bad." He patted Song Lili's shoulder in a pretentious manner, putting on a mature and composed look.
This time, Song Lili really rolled her eyes at Sun Zixiang. This guy had such a bad sense of humor, actually teasing her.
Not wanting to play with this idiot cousin, he pulled Song Fang into the main room.
In the main room, besides Song Yongli and Song Jianguo, there was another person who looked to be in his forties, with a dark and rough complexion, giving the impression that he would break at the slightest breeze.
Song Lili squeezed Song Fang's palm. "And who is this?"
Song Fang whispered, "Uncle, cousin."
Song Lili suddenly realized that these were her uncle-in-law Zhou Lei and her cousin Zhou Lanlan.
My aunt also starved to death during those years, leaving only Zhou Lei and Zhou Lanlan in the family.
After calling out "Uncle," then "Elder Uncle," and then "Cousin," Song Lili fell silent.
She felt annoyed upon seeing Song Yongli and had no desire to speak.
She pretended to be mute, but unexpectedly, the thin, small girl who looked like she was ten years old came over on her own initiative.
"Cousin, cousin, you're here too."
Song Lili looked at the petite girl and had a very good first impression of her; her smile was cheerful and gave people a bright feeling.
She smiled and nodded, "Yes, I came to help. When did you arrive?"
"I just arrived a little while ago. Let's go to the kitchen together; Grandma and Aunt are there."
Song Lili and Zhou Lanlan went together, otherwise Gu Shi would have started yelling at them. However, she didn't bring Song Fang, and asked Sun Zixiang to play with Song Fang instead.
Sure enough, in the kitchen, Madam Gu was giving orders to her aunt Zhao Youqin with a fierce expression, all the while cursing under her breath.
"Hurry up, haven't you eaten yet? Lazy woman, all you know how to do is slack off, why don't you just die of laziness?"
"Hurry up and wash the dishes, and wash the vegetables too, wash the potatoes, wash the meat, do you hear me?"
Zhao Youqin nodded obsequiously and worked quickly and efficiently, but even so, Gu Shi was still not satisfied.
When Song Lili and Zhou Lanlan went in, this was the scene they saw. Zhou Lanlan immediately said, "Grandma, leave this to us. You can go out and rest."
The old woman favored boys over girls, even her granddaughter. She glared at Zhou Lanlan and said, "What good are you? I, this old woman, still have to do it myself."
Zhou Lanlan smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll take care of everything perfectly for you. This kitchen is small and can't accommodate so many people."
But Madam Gu wouldn't listen, fearing these people would stay in the kitchen and steal food. "No, I need to keep an eye on you so you don't mess it up."
Song Lili said impatiently, "Grandma, you're blocking the way. Get out of here. Most of those things are from my family. I don't care about them."
Seriously, that's enough. It's just a few bunches of vegetables. Who would even care about them? Even if you eat them, you can just pick some more. Why are you watching them like they're thieves?
Song Lili's blunt words infuriated Madam Gu, who glared at her and said, "You...you..."
"You should get out of here now, don't bother us. Come back in when it's done, now get out." Song Lili pushed Gu Shi out and closed the kitchen door before feeling comfortable.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Zhao Youqin and Zhou Lanlan looking at her. Zhou Lanlan's eyes were bright and sparkling, and there seemed to be admiration in them.
Song Lili sighed, "Uh, this child is idolizing her?"
Yes, it was admiration. Zhou Lanlan ran over excitedly, and afraid that Gu Shi would hear, she lowered her voice and said, "Wow, cousin, you are really amazing. How dare you talk about Grandma like that?"
"And surprisingly, Grandma didn't scold you. That's amazing."
Song Lili was amused by Zhou Lanlan's exaggerated words and flicked Zhou Lanlan's head, "Hurry up and wash the vegetables."
That's an exaggeration.
Zhou Lanlan touched her forehead, still thinking her cousin was amazing, and leaned closer to Song Lili, saying, "Cousin, she probably thinks you're amazing."
"Everyone says I'm fierce, but I wouldn't dare say that to Grandma. You're really amazing."
Song Lili shook her head, ignoring the little girl's sudden and inexplicable admiration.
She was just telling the truth; she simply couldn't stand Gu's domineering attitude and bullying of Zhao Youqin. There was nothing particularly serious about it.
