Looking around at the villagers and educated youth watching the commotion, he asked, "We're going to be late for work, aren't you all going to leave?"
As his voice fell, the women and educated youth who had been watching the commotion looked uncomfortable, and soon only Song Jiaojiao and Yuan Xiaoya remained.
"Young man, you've misunderstood me."
Song Jiaojiao looked at Song Guoqing with a pitiful expression.
"Who's your little brother? Song Jiaojiao, don't push your luck!"
They used to hate each other and wanted nothing to do with his family, but now they want to repair their relationship. What are they thinking?
Song Guoqing made no attempt to hide his disgust. He turned away from Song Jiaojiao, turned back to the courtyard, and completely ignored the expression on Song Jiaojiao's face as she watched his retreating figure.
Seeing Song Jiaojiao being rebuked, Yuan Xiaoya's mood undoubtedly improved a lot. She said to Song Jiaojiao, "When you came to the village as an educated youth, you ignored your adoptive parents and their family. That was completely ungrateful behavior."
If you have any ambition, then stay ungrateful forever. But you, not long after, turn around and try to lick your boots. Look at you, trying to have your cake and eat it too! If you ask me, you're probably just daydreaming!
As soon as the words left her lips, Yuan Xiaoya walked away.
Song Jiaojiao clenched her fists at her sides, staring intently at Yuan Xiaoya's back. Her eyes were as venomous as a snake's, and a sneer escaped her lips as she uttered, "Yuan Xiaoya, keep being arrogant!"
A calculating glint flashed in his eyes.

“Your older brother bought some meat, and you bought several pounds of it, plus spare ribs…”
In the kitchen, Li Jumei was organizing the things Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng had brought back, muttering to herself from time to time. Hearing this, Song Lan smiled and said:
“I didn’t buy it. Your good son-in-law asked Comrade Wu to drive to the county town to buy it. When I came, I saw that there wasn’t much. There were only five catties of pork and five catties of ribs, four pork hocks and four fish, plus some vegetables. There really wasn’t much.”
"You're saying there's not much in such a big pile?"
Li Jumei rolled her eyes and said, "Our family is hosting a banquet for the matchmaker and the bride's family, plus your grandma, your uncle... these are all our own family members, two tables are definitely enough to seat everyone. And your older brother brought back two catties of pork and those dishes today..."
I roughly estimated that with some candied dates and fruit preserves, plus a few cold dishes, a total of ten dishes on the table would be quite good. Why would you and your son-in-law need to spend so much money?
Song Lan: "Perfect! Mom, you're amazing, I admire you!"
Li Jumei: "Don't try to distract me. When you leave tomorrow, take all the things you and your son-in-law brought with you."
"I can't make that decision."
Song Lan shook her head and said calmly, "Your son-in-law bought it. You can talk to him about it."
"I think you two are not going to live a proper life. You're both so extravagant. Fine, I'll give the things to your son-in-law when you leave tomorrow. You're not allowed to say a word."
Five pounds of meat, five pounds of ribs, three pork hocks, and three fish—that's going to cost a lot of money!
As Li Jumei tidied up, she felt heartbroken and wished she could immediately call her son-in-law, Qin Yanzheng, over and give him a good scolding.
"sister……"
Song Guoqing's voice came from the kitchen doorway. Song Lan turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
The boy's complexion was clearly not good.
“Song Jiaojiao cursed my brother-in-law.”
Song Guoqing clenched his fists and said, "If we didn't have a happy occasion to celebrate tomorrow, I really would have punched Song Jiaojiao just now!"
"Curse your brother-in-law?"
Song Jiaojiao asked in confusion, "What could she possibly curse?"
Could it be that in Song Jiaojiao's imagined plot, Qin Yanzheng had already died at this point in time?
“She once told Yuan, the educated youth, that I would be a widow, which was practically a curse on my brother-in-law…”
