Zhang Aiai was a little curious and peeked at Zhang Qinghua. She didn't expect that her older brother would like Song Lili, who was the same age as her.
They're not afraid of being called an old cow eating young grass.
Zhang Qingguo didn't have any particular thoughts about Song Lili, and he quite liked her.
Zhang Shengtian suddenly thought of something: "Since you've taken a liking to Lili, then your engagement with Luo Juan can't be called off."
Zhang Qinghua was also considering this matter and had long wanted to retire.
"What? Big brother and Luo Juan are engaged? When? How come I didn't know? I don't like Luo Juan, I want Lili to be my sister-in-law!" Zhang Qingguo jumped up and shouted.
Zhang Aiai was also extremely surprised. She had never heard of this before. Her older brother was actually engaged to Luo Juan?
That's incredible! No wonder Luo Juan always looks at her with strange eyes.
But what if she doesn't like Luo Juan either?
Zhang Qingguo was still shouting, "Uncle, hurry up and break off the engagement! I don't like Luo Juan. I always felt she wasn't a good person. I don't want her to be my sister-in-law!"
Zhang Qingguo's words made Zhang Shengtian laugh. "What's the use of whether you like her or not? She's your brother's wife. As long as he likes her, that's all that matters."
Zhang Qingguo was extremely anxious and grabbed Zhang Qinghua's hand, saying, "My brother just said that he likes Song Lili and doesn't like Luo Juan."
Zhang Sheng patted Zhang Qingguo angrily before saying, "It was just a verbal agreement, made by your mother and Luo Juan's mother. There were no tokens, so it shouldn't count."
“We haven’t heard the Luo family mention it all these years, so they probably don’t take it seriously. Let’s wait and see. Otherwise, if they don’t take it seriously and we break off the engagement, it will be embarrassing for both families.”
Zhang Shengtian was unaware that it was precisely because of their thinking that they would cause a lot of trouble later on.
However, they simply don't know it yet.
Before you know it, it's the eve of the Lunar New Year. This is the day the production team distributes money and ration coupons, and it's the same every year.
So, early in the morning, each household would send one person to wait at the stage to receive money to buy New Year's goods.
Song Lili's family didn't lack that kind of money, so she casually sent Song Jianshe to do it. Later, thinking about it, this was the first time Zhang Qinghua had distributed these things since becoming the accountant, so Song Lili went along with him.
At least go and take a look, to give Zhang Qinghua some silent support.
However, Zhang Qinghua did a great job. There was no chaos on site, and everyone received their items in an orderly manner.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Song Lili went home. Zhang Qinghua was busy at the moment and didn't have time to talk to her.
When he got home, Song Jianshe gave the three yuan he had received to Song Lili. This was their family's income for the whole year.
Song Lili glanced at the small bills in Song Jianshe's hand with some disdain, then waved her hand generously, saying, "You can keep them yourself, no need to give them to me."
“You’re a grown man now. In a year or two, you’ll be getting married and having kids. How can you manage without money? Here, take this as pocket money.”
At this moment, Song Lili felt like a parent giving their child pocket money, and this feeling of being rich and powerful was a little bit satisfying.
Song Jianshe was somewhat incredulous. Such a large sum of money was now his? He looked at Song Lili and stammered.
"Lili, are you really going to give me this money?" How is he going to spend it? He has nowhere to spend it.
"Yes, Dada has his own pocket money. I gave Fangfang some a few days ago. I'm just missing you. Perfect, I don't need to give you any more."
Although Song Lili was the housekeeper, she would give Song Yongren one-third of the vegetables she sold each time.
After all, Song Yongren is the head of the family, so it wouldn't make sense for him to be penniless.
She felt that since she had money, her brother and sister should also have some.
She had completely forgotten that there were many people without money at this time, unlike the era she used to live in.
Here, it's not unusual for the head of a household to have no money at all.
However, when the topic of Song Jianshe getting married and having children came up, she suddenly remembered Song Jianshe's fiancée, whom she had mentioned before, who was her future sister-in-law.
"Brother, my sister-in-law, whom I've never met, is called Xia Niu, right? Is she from our village?"
She had originally intended to inquire about him, but then she got too busy and didn't have time. Now, she suddenly remembered that there was such a person.
"Yes, her name is Xia Niu, from the Third Brigade. How can you say you've never seen her before? You've seen her before."
Song Lili pouted quietly. Of course, she had never seen her before; the one she had seen was the old Song Lili, but she couldn't say it outright.
He could only make up an excuse: "I just forgot. Let me tell you, it's been at least two years since I last saw her. Am I right?"
Is this really Song Jianshe's fiancée? Are you kidding me?
"Yes, it seems like it's been two years since I last saw you. I saw you once when my mother passed away. I'll bring you along when I go to pay my respects this year so you can meet me."
Song Lili quickly refused, "Let's forget it, I'm not going. She's your wife, what difference does it make whether I see her or not?"
She has important things to do and no time to pay attention to unimportant people.
However, sometimes this person just can't resist being nagged, and whatever they say comes true.
During the day, Song Lili and Song Jianshe talked about Xia Niu. At night, just as it got dark, Xia Niu's mother, Chen Erhua, arrived with Xia Niu and her younger brother, Xia Jun.
"Oh, in-law, taking a break? Didn't you do anything today?"
As she spoke, Chen Erhua stepped into the room and plopped down on the table that was usually used as a kitchen table, her eyes constantly darting around the room.
