"Yan Ling is so lucky. Not only is her daughter successful, but she also takes care of the family."

"Everyone was worried that the one who came back was the ancestor, but they didn't expect that she was such a filial and obedient girl. Look at my family, she only knows how to eat and drink all day and doesn't know how to do anything else."

"My family is also the same. After getting married, she only knows how to eat and drink when she returns to her parents' home, and she doesn't know how to bring anything back."

"If you ask me, Yan Ling is lucky. How could such a good girl not be mine?"

In response to the neighbors' words, Song Zhiyao just smiled and nodded, without responding to them, and walked faster.

Just as she was speeding up, she heard her younger brother and sister shouting, "Big sis, wait for us."

Looking back at the three of them, each of them had a lot of things in their hands, some of which were hanging on their bodies. It seemed that they bought a lot of New Year's goods today.

The neighbors naturally heard their voices and looked over there. After seeing what they had in their hands, they began to tease Lai Yanling.

"Has Yanling made a fortune this year? She bought more New Year's goods than in previous years. It seems that she has saved a lot of money this year."

The woman who was speaking had a red face from the cold. She didn't usually talk much to Lai Yanling, but her words at this moment had a sour taste.

As soon as Lai Yanling heard the person speaking, she knew that the other person had bad intentions. Then she saw that Song Zhiyao was carrying so many things in her hands, and looked at the neighbors around her, and understood what they were thinking.

She simply couldn't bear to see their family living well. In previous years, they and their children didn't have much money because her salary was low and she had to support three children alone.

Naturally, their conditions are not as good as those of the workers in their family. This year, they wanted to have a good year, but they were criticized by others.

Lai Yanling was not someone who could be easily bullied. She rolled her eyes and said jokingly, "Lu Dahua, look at how our family can save money when we still have so much debt to pay off and our eldest daughter just started working.

You are lucky. Your son and daughter both work and have salaries. After the Chinese New Year, you can retire and don’t have to go back to work. Your husband Yuan also has a high salary.”

Lai Yanling's words hit Lu Dahua's sore spot. Her son recently fell in love with a girl who asked for a very high dowry and is now making a fuss at home.

Although her daughter was paid, she was a temporary worker. The educated youth returned to the city with a child. Lu Dahua wanted her daughter to give money, but it was impossible to raise a child at the same time.

What makes people most infuriated is her husband Yuan Daniu. He is easily influenced by others and has to give half of his monthly salary to his parents who live in the countryside. He also likes to drink and doesn't leave much for the family. The whole family is supported by Lu Dahua.

Before, Lai Yanling had a tight life raising three children alone, and Lu Dahua felt sorry for the Song family. In comparison, she didn't feel that miserable.

Now that Lai Yanling's life is getting better, Lu Dahua naturally feels jealous when she sees this. Then she thinks about how her son has chosen a girl but cannot afford the bride price, while the Song family is buying large and small bags of New Year's goods.

At this moment, Lai Yanling's words were also heard. Her words were all about Zhalu Dahua's heart. She usually boasted about how many people in her family were paid, but in fact she didn't want others to think that their family was having a hard time.

In fact, every neighbor knows the situation of each other's family. If you don't come out and talk about it, no one will expose you. But if you always stare at other people's affairs, you will have no way to refute what others say.

Faced with Lai Yanling's words, Lu Dahua could only smile awkwardly.

After walking for a while, Song Ruyun started laughing. "Lu Dahua looks like she is constipated. She wants to say something but doesn't know what to say. Our mom is really amazing."

Song Zhiyao also thought that there would be a big fight just now, but she didn't expect Lai Yanling to just say something to kill her. When she left, she saw Lu Dahua's rich expression and it was funny to think about it.

Seeing the children laughing secretly, Lai Yanling said seriously, "You can laugh when no one is around, but don't laugh in front of them, otherwise they will say that we, the Song family, are impolite."

Lai Yanling knew very well that gossip was scary. She was old and could bear the gossip, but her children were still young and would be easily influenced by the vicious words they heard from these people.

Seeing them nodding obediently, Lai Yanling smiled and said, "When you meet those talkative people, as long as they don't say anything excessive, just nod and don't get entangled with them.

If what they say is excessive, please come back and tell me immediately after you refute it, so that I can go and argue with them."

As the children grew older, Lai Yanling was worried that they would argue with their neighbors in the textile factory compound when something happened. She didn't want her children to become like that.

Song Zhiyao saw Lai Yanling's good intentions. It was indeed useless to argue with those neighbors. Their world could not be limited to the small textile factory compound.

"Reputation is very important if you say it's important, and it's not important if you don't care about it, but we live in this world, and a good reputation can bring us many different things." Lai Yanling thought that no matter whether they could understand or not, she had to speak to them slowly about some things.

"Most people think you are good people and would not do such a thing. Even if there are occasional conflicts and difficulties, everyone will stand by you."

During all these years Lai Yanling was a woman raising three children in the textile factory, and no one said anything bad about her. This was because she had been slowly building up her reputation since she arrived at the textile factory, and outsiders saw her as warm and generous.

When it comes to other people's affairs, help them if you can, don't fuss over trivial matters, and be willing to talk as long as it doesn't involve her principles.

In addition, she has a somewhat aggressive personality and her brother is a public security officer. These multiple factors have helped her understand some of the mysteries of life.

Wang Dani, who didn't get along with her, often said bad things about her, but no one in the neighborhood listened. They all thought that Wang Dani was narrow-minded and Lai Yanling was not the kind of person she said she was.

On the way home, Lai Yanling told them softly about her experiences over the years. She had a good reputation, so when people saw how well she was living, they would only say a few sour words and would not think anything bad about it.

Listening to her words, Song Ruyun said, "If someone makes me unhappy, I will scold them back. Why should I act like it doesn't matter? Won't others bully me more unscrupulously?"

Song Zihao was also puzzled. When he was young, he was weak and had to endure being bullied by others, but others often treated him as a younger brother and taught him a lesson from time to time.

"Mom, can't I fight back when someone bullies me?"

Lai Yanling looked at the two angry children and smiled. "If others bully you, you must fight back. You can't let others think that you are a soft persimmon that can be bullied by others. When dealing with others, we should be polite before using force."

Song Zhiyao listened thoughtfully.
