Upon hearing this, Qin Yaxin lowered her head and remained silent.
Seeing this, Song Lan shook her head inwardly, feeling a sense of helplessness. She said, "You need to change this stubborn personality of yours. You know, you and your eldest sister are biological sisters, and there's no deep-seated hatred between you."
When we have differing opinions, we can sit down and talk it out openly. I really don't think it's necessary to let things get misunderstanding each other, which only deepens the rift between us.
If you look back and find out it was just a misunderstanding, wouldn't you feel annoyed?
But can this make up for the time you missed getting along because of misunderstandings?
cannot.
If the truth of this misunderstanding were to unexpectedly come to light a century later, wouldn't the other party be filled with immense regret?
With a sigh, Song Lan continued, "But what's the use of regret now that the person is gone?"
Qin Yaxin bit her lip and looked up at Song Lan: "Sister-in-law..."
Her eyes were filled with self-blame and regret. Qin Yaxin's lips twitched, but she remained silent for a long time.
Song Lan naturally saw the emotions in Qin Yaxin's eyes clearly. She felt slightly relieved, knowing that Qin Yaxin had listened to her words, so she continued:
"I'm telling you all this because I don't want you to have any regrets, and I also hope that you, your older sister, and the rest of our family can get along well."
Let's not let a little prejudice or dissatisfaction create distance between us.
"I won't do it again. When we get back to our home near the machinery factory, I will apologize to my older sister."
Qin Yaxin spoke from the bottom of her heart; she was definitely not just trying to appease Song Lan.
When their eyes met, Song Lan could tell whether she was lying or not.
A smile lingered in her clear eyes, and Song Lan nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it! I believe you'll become more and more outstanding in the future. After all, a successful person..."
First, one must be brave enough to face the mistakes one has made and correct them promptly after recognizing them.
With such a positive attitude towards things and people, it would be unreasonable for him not to succeed in the future.
Qin Yaxin felt much better after being given a lot of inspirational advice. At the same time, she felt increasingly guilty and annoyed for ignoring Qin Yaqing, disregarding Qin Yaqing's concern, and constantly arguing with her.
"Sister-in-law, I shouldn't have been so willful and threw a tantrum at my older sister."
Upon hearing this, Song Lan smiled and said, "Alright, sister-in-law has seen your attitude, and I am very pleased about that."
As she got up and was about to leave, she softly instructed, "Pack your things and get some sleep. We'll head to the train station after breakfast tomorrow morning."
"OK."
Qin Yaxin responded.
Song Lan opened the door, stepped out, and then closed it again.
Qin Yaxin stood up as Song Lan stood up. After Song Lan closed the door from the outside, blocking her view, she stood there for a moment before packing the things she would take with her the next day.
First floor living room.
Not long after Song Lan went downstairs, she called the two little ones upstairs to wash up and go to bed. After settling the two children, Da Bao and Er Bao, with Li Jumei, the mother and daughter went to the guest room, which was Li Jumei and Song Sanhe's bedroom.
Li Jumei asked, "Why don't you agree to stay and work in Beijing?"
"If you take the children and leave with Yaxin tomorrow, your father-in-law will be all alone at home. It's fine when he's at work during the day, but when he comes home to a cold stove and an empty house, how heartbroken he'll be!"
"Mom, you're overthinking it. After we leave, a housekeeper will come to cook for Dad and clean the house."
As for why I didn't plan to stay in Beijing for work right now, it's because I still have patients at my hospital who need follow-up appointments. Also, Qin Yanzheng and Ya Qing both work there, and their work schedules can't be switched over immediately.
In addition, Yaxin is studying at the town's middle school, and there is only one semester left in her first year of high school. Transferring her to another school halfway through the semester would not be difficult in terms of procedures, but she might not be able to keep up with the academic progress.
In short, now is not the best time for me to work in Beijing.
Upon hearing this, Li Jumei gently tapped Song Lan's forehead, saying with a mix of heartache and helplessness, "You only know how to think of others, not yourself. Even though I am a rural woman, I know that staying in a big city like the capital is more promising."
Song Lan smiled and said, "What you said makes sense, but if I really stay, who will help me take care of the child?"
Or, to put it another way, Mom, would you and Dad be willing to live with me in Beijing and help take care of my two children?
"Why can't that be?!"
Li Jumei said, "Dabao and Erbao are very well-behaved, and taking care of them is not difficult at all. Besides, they said they are my and your father's own grandchildren, and we are very happy to take care of our own grandchildren!"
"Has Mom forgotten that my sister-in-law is due to give birth in a few months?"
Song Lan asked with a smile.
"I haven't forgotten."
Li Jumei said, "Your sister-in-law has her mother to take care of her, so it's definitely not my turn to stay by her side. After she gives birth, her mother will probably help take care of the baby. I can focus on taking care of your child for the next two years."
However, there's still much I need to do. When we get back, I'll buy a few more old hens for your older brother to carry to his mother-in-law's house, and also prepare a basket of eggs to take with him. We'll use these to nourish your sister-in-law's body.
Before your sister-in-law gives birth, I will give some money to your brother and sister-in-law. Anyway, I will do my best to ensure that no one can find fault with me.
If your sister-in-law is willing to let me take care of her children, then your father and I will take care of three of them. We'll definitely make sure you take good care of them!
Song Lan laughed out loud: "I can't bear to tire you and Dad out. No matter how well-behaved the child is, he's still just a child. You and Dad have limited energy. If we really had three little ones around, we'd be exhausted sooner or later."
"It's the same whether you're herding one sheep or a flock of sheep, it's not that tiring."
Li Jumei disagreed.
“There is a difference between raising children and herding sheep.”
Song Lan smiled and shook her head, then changed the subject: "I think there are basically no problems with Ya Qing's matter. The two families can probably finalize the date in a few months, and at the latest, the matter can be carried out by the end of this year or the beginning of next year."
"That young man is indeed good. Not only is he good-looking, but he also has a silver tongue. He's reliable and will definitely treat Yaqing well in the future."
Li Jumei offered her opinion.
“Life is what we live, it’s too early for us to talk about those things now, but if Xiao Zhou dares to treat Ya Qing badly, not to mention what my father-in-law and Qin Yanzheng and his brothers will do to each other, I’ll be the first to teach him a lesson!”
Hearing Song Lan say that, Li Jumei tapped her forehead again: "You're just a worrywart!"
“My mother-in-law is gone, and as the eldest sister-in-law, I can’t just ignore everything.”
Song Lan smiled, not paying much attention to what Li Jumei said.
"Okay, okay, manage it however you want, as long as you don't do anything wrong, I have no objection."
Li Jumei said this, but in her heart she really felt sorry for her precious daughter Song Lan. However, she knew that Song Lan was a woman with her own ideas and could not be persuaded by a few words of advice.
