This is similar to many family businesses in later generations, which have many drawbacks.
Because they are all family members, their work and life are completely intertwined, so many conflicts will spread from work into their personal lives.
The consequence of this is that conflicts easily arise within a family, and these conflicts are not easily resolved.
Lin Xue is facing this very problem now.
Lin Xue herself was unaware of this.
Her mind was completely focused on Zhang Qingguo's failure to apologize this time, so she overlooked other issues.
Song Lili didn't want to remind Lin Xue of these things. Nor did she have the obligation to do so.
She was just thinking about what kind of way to make Zhang Shengtian happy.
However, what made her happy was that Li Weiguo and his wife arrived.
Song Lili and Yang Mei immediately made an appointment to go out for a walk together.
This also allows Zhang Shengtian to avoid these matters, so even if Lin Xue comes looking for him, she won't be able to find him.
As long as Lin Xue and Zhang Shengtian are prevented from meeting, she doesn't need to worry about what happens next.
Li Weiguo and his wife, along with a few others, had just returned home from the train station when they heard Yang Mei say that Song Lili was already planning where they should go for fun.
At that moment, Li Weiguo had a strange feeling. It was as if something was not quite right.
So he looked at Yang Mei, somewhat puzzled, "Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden? Is something wrong?"
Anyway, Li Liguo's subconscious thought was that something might have happened, which is why he wanted to get the old folks out of there.
However, he didn't think that the problem was with Zhang Qingguo. Instead, he thought that something might have happened to his own family, so the children didn't want him to worry and wanted Zhang Shengtian to take them out for a walk.
After Li Weiguo asked the question, the other three elderly people immediately became anxious and looked at Yang Mei with great concern.
Yang Mei gave a wry smile, but still told the truth, "No, it's just that since you've come all this way, you should have a good look around the capital and see it properly. We can't have come here for nothing, can we?"
“Lili and I both think it would be good for us to stay with you, but you might feel a little uncomfortable, so let the two uncles stay with you.”
“You guys have things to talk about and you get along well, so we thought of having you go out with them for a while.”
"However, there might be a problem at Lili's house. Lili doesn't want Uncle Zhang Shengtian to stay at home, so she's thinking of having you all come along."
Yang Mei knew nothing about Zhang Qingguo's affairs. However, she vaguely guessed it from what Song Lili had said.
Song Lili said this so that Yang Mei would know why Zhang Shengtian was asked to accompany the elderly people out.
In fact, indirectly, they also wanted the elderly people to persuade Zhang Shengtian not to meddle in these matters.
Song Lili didn't know if this would work, but it was better than doing nothing.
After hearing Yang Mei's words, the elderly people breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that nothing bad had happened at home.
Then they were relieved, and after that, they started to worry about what had happened to Song Lili.
"What happened to Qinghua's family?" Something must have happened, otherwise they wouldn't have let Zhang Shengtian come out and go for a walk with them.
Yang Mei shook her head. "I don't know. Lili only mentioned it briefly, but I don't know the specifics and I didn't ask."
Yang Mei is a tactful person, so she wouldn't be so tactless as to ask others things they don't want to say.
When Song Lili told her these things in a veiled manner, she could tell that Song Lili didn't want to go into too much detail.
If it weren't for the fact that she wanted the elderly people to persuade Zhang Shengtian, she probably wouldn't have brought up these matters at all.
After all, in Song Lili's mind, these were all family matters and not something she wanted to tell others.
Yang Mei naturally understood this principle and didn't inquire further.
"But judging from Lili's appearance, it shouldn't be anything too serious. It's probably just some family conflict."
"Uncle Zhang Shengtian hasn't been in a good mood these past few days, so he wanted you to go out with him and try to persuade him," Yang Mei told Li Weiguo and the others, directly relaying Song Lili's idea.
Li Weiguo thought this was for the best, since the children wouldn't be able to stay with them every day after they arrived in the capital.
It's good to have Zhang Shengtian accompany them, so the children can go about their work with peace of mind, and they won't have to stay at home every day and get bored.
So Li Weiguo immediately agreed, "Okay, tell Lili that we'll go out with her dad the day after tomorrow."
"We need to rest today. We're getting old, and it's tiring to travel by car."
People like Li Weiguo, who are his age, need a good rest after traveling by train for two or three days to fully recover their energy.
So he set the date for the day after tomorrow.
Yang Mei immediately nodded. "I will tell Lili what I said. Now you two go and rest for a while."
The group had just returned from the train station, and Yang Mei wasn't planning on talking to them right away.
Anyway, they won't be in the capital for too long, so we can find another time to have a proper chat with them.
Let them rest now, because they all look tired to varying degrees.
The two mothers, in particular, seemed listless and weak.
Without any formalities, the group immediately returned to their rooms, all eager to get a good night's sleep.
Because they are very tired, as soon as they sit down, their eyes start to droop, and they feel like they can fall asleep immediately.
After the elderly people went to rest, Yang Mei went to find Song Lili and told her everything Li Weiguo had said.
Yang Mei had taken the past few days off, and she knew that Song Lili had been at home all this time, so she went directly to the alley.
After hearing Yang Mei's words, Song Lili nodded and said, "That's good. Let's make it the day after tomorrow. Uncle and the others should get some rest too."
"Otherwise, I'll be very tired, and even if I go out for a walk, I won't have the energy. I'll tell my dad about this, and I think he'll be very happy."
Song Lili didn't let Yang Mei into her house, not because she didn't welcome Yang Mei, but because Yang Mei probably wouldn't want to come over now.
After all, several elderly people in her family had just arrived, and she still needed to go home and make arrangements.
Yang Mei clearly had no intention of staying here. After saying goodbye to Song Lili, she immediately went home.
She thought that the elderly people must have been traveling for several days and couldn't eat or sleep well.
