So Song Lili stopped talking, and the table suddenly fell silent; no one spoke.
Although the other three men felt that Xia Niu's attitude was wrong, they also felt that men shouldn't argue with women, so they didn't say anything more.
Everyone quieted down, but after the silence, Xia Niu felt something was wrong; she felt extremely embarrassed and uncomfortable.
It was as if she had been left standing there by these people. She felt that they were deliberately targeting her; otherwise, why would they all remain silent?
The others had no idea that Xia Niu could have such an irrational idea.
If they knew, they would only be amazed that there could be such unreasonable people in this world.
They can blame everything on others. They just don't know it yet.
So at the dinner table, everyone fell silent for a moment, waiting for the casserole to arrive before eating.
This is a very natural state. Once everyone is familiar with each other, it's impossible to have so much to say all the time.
Once things quiet down, everyone should just feel at ease.
The other people at the table didn't feel awkward at all; Xia Niu was probably the only one who did.
That only means that she is not familiar with these people. More likely, she is actually rejecting these people from getting close to her, which is why she has such thoughts.
Song Lili and the others had no idea, so naturally they wouldn't accommodate Xia Niu.
Once the casserole was served, Song Lili had even less to say.
She wanted to enjoy the food, so of course she wouldn't say much to Xia Niu, someone she didn't care about.
I'd rather eat a few more bites than talk to her.
Song Lili enjoyed the meal very much, after all, it was something she wanted to eat, and something she hadn't had in a long time.
Actually, she has made casserole dishes at home before. However, they seem different from those sold outside; they don't taste the same.
Although cooking at home is generally healthier, eating out sometimes feels just as good.
After finishing her meal, Song Lili saw Xia Niu's expression and lost all interest in continuing her shopping.
Now Xia Niu was following them reluctantly, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Song Lili felt a pang of regret. She regretted buying so many things for Xia Niu.
This person is completely ungrateful; no matter how good you are to her, she will never appreciate it.
She'll only remember the bad things about you. She'll remember the things you did that made her uncomfortable, but she'll never remember how good you were to her.
So Song Lili felt a moment of regret, regretting what she had bought for Xia Niu.
But it was only for a moment. Once she regained her senses, she realized that these were just her own thoughts.
The real problem is if she really didn't buy anything for Xia Niu.
With so many people in the family, she bought things for everyone but left Xia Niu out. Isn't that blatant targeting?
It's so obvious. No need to explain; everyone can see it clearly.
In this case, irreconcilable family conflicts will emerge, and there may be a period of chaos and unrest at home.
Song Lili didn't want this outcome; she wanted to live a peaceful life.
Therefore, Song Lili felt it was worthwhile to spend some money to buy herself a period of peace.
Song Jianshe's business is still in the preparatory stage and hasn't even started yet, so Song Lili can't let Song Jianshe's family go out and rent a house to live in.
Even if we want them to go out, we'll have to wait until Song Jianshe has earned enough money and his family is confident that they can support themselves.
Therefore, it's best for Song Lili and Xia Niu to avoid conflicts at this time.
Song Lili understood this, which is why she tolerated this small problem.
She didn't want her whole family to feel uncomfortable because of one person. Xia Niu didn't have the power to make her family feel bad every day because of her.
After thinking about it this way, Song Lili felt much better. However, she no longer felt like continuing to shop.
Even if she really wanted to go shopping, she wouldn't go with Xia Niu. She has her own sister and her own friends, so why would she want to go out with Xia Niu?
Even if all else fails, there's still Zhang Aiai, her sister-in-law.
The group then carried their belongings home.
Back home, it was natural to give out gifts to everyone, and those who received them were very happy.
After all, anyone would be happy to receive a gift.
After giving everything to everyone, Song Lili returned to her room.
Today, she finally happened to catch Zhang Qinghua off duty, but she didn't plan to go to the store.
When Zhang Qinghua has free time, she usually accommodates his schedule so that the family can get together and have a good chat.
So after Song Lili returned to her room, Zhang Qinghua followed her in.
He felt he couldn't be of much help outside, and with Song Jianshe, Zhang Shengtian, and Song Yongren already there, he decided not to join in the fun.
He preferred to stay in the room and talk and chat with Song Lili.
Song Lili was actually quite tired, not physically, but mentally.
She lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, not knowing what she was thinking.
It was as if I wasn't thinking about anything, or perhaps some thought flashed through my mind but I didn't grasp it.
When Zhang Qinghua entered the room, he saw Song Lili lying on the bed in a daze.
He walked over and sat down next to Song Lili. After watching her quietly for a while, he asked, "Are you very tired?"
Zhang Qinghua knew that Song Lili and Xia Niu had never gotten along.
Moreover, he himself looked down on what Xia Niu did, and he knew that she was a person without a grateful heart.
However, for the sake of her family, Song Lili had to endure it, so he understood Song Lili and even felt sorry for her.
To be honest, Song Lili was really tired, but she couldn't just stop helping Song Jianshe. So even though she was exhausted, she could only endure it.
But in front of Zhang Qinghua, she didn't need to hide these emotions, so she spoke very directly.
"Yes, it's tiring, but even though it's tiring, I still have to do it."
Song Jianshe was her relative. After she arrived here, Song Jianshe treated her very well and cared for her, his younger sister.
So now that she has the ability to help Song Jianshe, she doesn't want to, and can't, just leave him alone.
Zhang Qinghua knew Song Lili well, so he naturally understood what she meant.
