Meng Xunzhou turned around and looked at Song Shishi, lowering his voice and asking, "They are quarreling like this, why don't we just do anything?"
"Didn't you hear that? Although they disagree, they both care about each other. If you go to persuade them now, who are you going to speak for?"
Song Shishi said this, pulling his arm and walking towards the hall door.
"Xu Li is not a child anymore. Let them solve their relationship problems on their own. Let's go help my mother make dinner."
As they walked to the entrance of the hall, they heard a loud noise coming from behind. Shi Tou slammed the door and walked out without looking back.
This was the first time Song Shishi saw Shi Tou lose his temper, and it was towards Xu Li.
After Shitou left, Xu Li's crying could soon be heard from the room.
Song Shishi still didn't go to comfort Xu Li.
She pulled Meng Xunzhou directly to the small kitchen.
...
...
In fact, she felt that Shi Tou was right.
You should be down-to-earth when doing things. You don't even know your own capabilities and have no ability to protect yourself, but you dare to go out and take orders privately.
Nothing happened this time. If something happened, who would take the responsibility?
Moreover, Qiao Yanxin has been working hard to build her reputation among the wealthy circle during this period. Everyone who knows Qiao Yanxin knows that Xu Li is Qiao Yanxin's apprentice.
If Xu Li offended someone in private, Qiao Yanxin's efforts during this period would be greatly reduced.
This time, Song Shishi was not going to help Xu Li. She felt that this was a good opportunity to let Xu Li think carefully and learn her lesson.
Qiao Yanxin came back when dinner was ready.
Song Shishi and Meng Xunzhou were moving dishes and chopsticks when they heard Qiao Yanxin's singing coming from outside the hanging flower door.
Qiao Yanxin saw Meng Xunzhou at a glance, and she nodded to him as a greeting.
Then Qiao Yanxin walked over to Song Shishi and said excitedly, "I have good news to share with you. The orders I have are already scheduled until next month. As long as I finish these orders, with the money I've made these days, plus the money I got from selling my original house, I'll be able to buy a courtyard house similar to yours soon."
Qiao Yanxin rented Song Shishi's house just as a transition.
Her ultimate goal is to get rid of her father and own a house of her own.
"Congratulations, you're finally getting what you wanted."
Song Shishi was also very happy for Qiao Yanxin.
Although she and Qiao Yanxin were usually busy and rarely talked, she still admired Qiao Yanxin as a person through the few interactions they had.
"But can your body handle working so non-stop?"
Qiao Yanxin was in a good mood, so she naturally didn't feel tired or bitter. She waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "It's okay. Isn't there Lili to help me?"
Speaking of Xu Li, Qiao Yanxin looked around, "Hey? Why don't I see Lili? Isn't she at home?"
Xu Li was probably tired of crying now, and she hadn't made any noise for a while.
Song Shishi pointed in the direction of the west wing and said, "She's in the room. You can go and wake her up. Dinner is ready. Wash your hands and eat."
"Oh well."
Qiao Yanxin didn't notice anything unusual and turned around and walked towards the west ear room.
Zheng Peilan came over with a plate of braised pork. She looked in the direction of the west wing and saw that Qiao Yanxin had been knocking on the door for a long time, but there was no movement in the room, so she asked, "Did something happen to Lili? I seemed to hear faint noises of quarreling in the main courtyard ahead. Did you quarrel? She is also a poor child. Don't bother with her."
"I didn't. There was a little conflict between Lili and Shitou."
Song Shishi explained.
"Ah? Weren't they on good terms before? Why are they quarreling all of a sudden?"
Zheng Peilan sat down, but her eyes were fixed on the direction of the west ear room.
At this time, Qiao Yanxin came back and said, "I don't know what happened to Lili. She sounded like she was crying. She said she couldn't eat, so she didn't eat."
"Then let's eat first. I'll save some for her to heat in the pot later."
Zheng Peilan said this as she picked up an empty bowl and took out a little from each dish.
Song Shishi and Meng Xunzhou sat down and said nothing more.
Although Qiao Yanxin was confused, she did not ask any more questions.
The sky gradually darkened, Meng Xunzhou looked at the time, it was almost time for him to return to the army.
Remembering that he had forgotten to say something, he straightened his military uniform and walked towards Song Shishi and Zheng Peilan with steady steps.
He looked serious and said with a slightly solemn expression: "Shishi, your uncle called today and asked you to go to your uncle when you are on a business trip, saying that there is something important. The uncle didn't say what it was on the phone."
After listening to this, Song Shishi nodded slightly, with a hint of doubt in her dark eyes.
"Is my uncle back?"
Zheng Peilan did not show any surprise at the news, and it was obvious that she had known about it for a long time.
"I was the one who called them. Since your father and I are planning to divorce, I naturally have to tell your uncles about your father's affairs."
Song Shishi's grandparents are no longer with us, but she still has two uncles.
My uncle Zheng Zecheng holds a high position and is very busy on weekdays, so my aunt and my uncle have very little time to meet.
My uncle Zheng Zeqian has been doing business overseas and rarely comes back.
Song Shishi can only see her two uncles once a year during the Chinese New Year.
But her elder and younger uncles were very kind to her.
Because Zheng Peilan was the only girl in the family, she was naturally spoiled by her parents and two brothers.
By the time of Song Shishi's generation, her aunt gave birth to a son named Zheng Yebai, who was born in the same year as Meng Xunzhou.
My uncle has been busy running around with business and has not married yet.
"Then why did my eldest uncle ask me to go find my youngest uncle?"
Zheng Peilan shrugged and said, "You'll know when you meet your uncle. They didn't tell me."
Based on Song Shishi's understanding of her two uncles, since they already knew that Song Zhenhua had cheated on her, they would definitely not let Song Zhenhua off easily.
With the support of his two uncles, Song Zhenhua is likely to be in big trouble this time.
After saying everything that needed to be conveyed, Meng Xunzhou gave a few more reminders, such as paying attention to safety and taking care of yourself, and then he left the courtyard reluctantly, looking back every few steps.
Song Shishi stood in the yard, looking at Meng Xunzhou's departing back, wondering what she was thinking.
It was not until she heard Zheng Peilan enter the room and close the door that she came to her senses. She took a deep breath and turned back to the room.
She will be going out with Xie Yushan tomorrow, so she has to prepare everything in advance tonight.
…
Because the train from Beijing to Haicheng does not depart until around noon, Song Shishi is not in a hurry at home in the morning.
After breakfast, Song Shishi noticed that Xu Li had not come out of the house since Shi Tou left yesterday.
After all, she was still worried, so she walked to the door of the west room and knocked.
"Lili, are you awake?"
Song Shishi put her ear close to the door, and soon there was some noise coming from inside the room.
Before she could stand up straight, the door was opened by Xu Li.
