Song Li did nothing, and Song Wen looked a little upset. He felt that Song Li had forgotten something about the agreement they had made. He wanted to blackmail Song Li, but it was difficult to do so because Bai Jie was not around.

He gritted his teeth and found a step for himself. "Why is this girl still shy?" As he said this, he glared at Song Li warningly.

The corners of Song Li's mouth twitched, and she was speechless about the poor excuse Song Wen found.

How did he know she was shy?

But Song Li couldn't go too far, after all, her mother-in-law was still around in the future.

She simply followed the path Song Wen found, lowered her head, and acted very shy.

Song Wen was relieved when he saw this. He was afraid that Song Li would continue to play dumb and slap him in front of his in-laws.

Fortunately, the damn girl didn't let him continue to lose weight.

He also didn't know what happened during the time he was here. He always felt that Song Li was the same as when he was at home.

I thought to myself, I have to find some time to have a good look with Song Cheng later.

Bai Jie watched the secret competition between the father and daughter with an interested look in her eyes. Her daughter-in-law was becoming more and more interesting.

At the same time, they were even more confused. How could someone like Song Wenxiao give birth to someone like Song Li who was so close to them?

Anyone with eyes would think that the two were father and daughter.

Thinking of Song Zhi mentioned on the phone, Bai Jie decided to give it a try.

"By the way, dear in-law, you said there was a second daughter named Song Zhi, why didn't she come?"

Song Wenxiao's face changed, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately became alert.

He suppressed his panic and explained with a smile, "My mother-in-law is feeling well these days, and my second daughter is taking care of her grandmother."

It was only after Song Wen returned to the village yesterday that he learned from the villagers that Song Zhi had met with the villagers before she ran away, and they explained that she had gone to her grandmother's house.

This just provided Song Wen with a good opportunity.

Song Wenxiao used this to deal with Bai Jie, and it was acceptable.

Bai Jie nodded thoughtfully. She asked casually and then continued to talk about Song Zhi.

Song Wen was relieved and winked at Song Li.

Although Song Li understood Bai Jie's intention of suddenly mentioning Song Zhi, she did not dare to be careless. What would she do if the substitutionary marriage was exposed?

Although she had a household registration, Song Wen would find ways to control her as long as her household registration was in the Song family.

She is currently helpless and has no money, so even if she wants to escape like Song Zhi, she has no chance.

Therefore, she had to hold on to the Fu family as a reliable asset. No matter what would happen in the future, she had to transfer the household registration from the Song family first.

"Dad, Auntie and the others probably haven't eaten yet, let's go eat first." Song Li changed the subject.

Song Wenyi slapped his head and smiled apologetically at Bai Jieji, "My dear relatives, how shameless! Look at your brain. I actually forgot that you haven't eaten yet. Let's go eat now."

Bai Jie did not refuse. They were already hungry, so even if Song Li mentioned it, she would mention it again later.

She instructed Wei Hu beside her, "Comrade Wei, please go to the state-owned hotel to arrange the meal first, we will be there later." Because Song Li and Fu Yanci were getting married separately, there was naturally no normal wedding banquet. This meal was also regarded as a formal recognition dinner for the bride by the man. Bai Jie wanted to make it grand to give face to Song Li, the daughter-in-law.

Wei Hu responded and walked out of the ward.

Song Wen was so proud of himself that Bai Jie had to arrange and prepare in advance for him to have a meal. What did this mean? It meant that she valued him as her relative!

Instantly my back straightened up.

But he said modestly, "My dear relatives, there is no need to make special arrangements. We are all family, so just eat a few meals."

Bai Jie smiled and was even better than Song Wen in speaking sweet words. "Of course. My in-laws are willing to marry a good girl like Lili into our Fu family. It's only right to treat them to a meal. If there's enough time, I want to hold a proper wedding banquet for Lili."

Song Wenxiao's mouth corners widened, and he said caringly, "It's the same whether you hold a wedding banquet or not. Xiaofu has to work more seriously, and you and Lili can understand that."

Bai Jie smiled and said, "My relative is a reasonable person."

Song Wenxiao smiled and agreed, keeping a low profile.

Thanks to Song Li's biological daughter, she would certainly be mad at such a sycophantic father.

Do you marry your daughter off or sell her?

Why are you being so humble? Are you afraid that others will know how much you want this marriage?

Fortunately, Song Li didn't notice anything unusual on Bai Jie's face.

When Song Cheng and Wang Chunhua came in with water, they saw Song Wenxiao and Bai Jie having a happy conversation.

Xu Songcheng said something to Wang Chunhua, and she calmed down. Looking at Bai Jie, the smile on her face became much more natural.

"My dear relative, have some water." As soon as the water was handed to Bai Jie, her eyes glanced at the thick stack of money on the table beside her. Her hand tensed and the cup in her hand almost fell to the ground.

She instantly forgot what Song Cheng had said to her, and asked in a trembling voice, "This money... should be given to them, right?"

"Master, how much money does that cost?" It was such a thick stack that she could even count them with her eyes.

Song Wenxiao glared at Wang Chunhua with hatred. How could this damn woman be so careless?

The in-laws haven't even left yet, but she's acting like she's never seen the world before? This really makes Song Wenxiao lose face.

He quickly said, "This money is the betrothal gift from my in-laws to Lili." Then he walked to Wang Chunhua's side, took the cup from her hand with one hand, and tugged at Wang Chunhua's sleeve with the other hand, suggesting that she come back to her senses.

Wang Chunhua reluctantly turned her eyes away from the money and turned to look at Bai Jie, trying to suppress the smile on her lips, "My dear relative, you are too polite." She even used the word "you", which was enough to show how excited she was at the moment.

She had thought about the betrothal money a long time ago, but she didn't expect it to be so much. She originally thought that with the Fu family's family background, a betrothal gift of two yuan would be enough, but she didn't expect it to be so much.

That thick stack of money must be at least seven or eight dollars.

Grandpa, she has never seen so much money in her life.

She met a good relative here and there, and she met the God of Wealth here.

Bai Jie subconsciously glanced at Song Li, his eyes lingering on Song Li's slightly frowned brows for two seconds, his eyelashes drooped, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

She smiled and explained, "Lili's marriage into our Fu family is a blessing for our Fu family and for Yanyan. She deserves the betrothal gifts." After a pause, she continued, "In fact, two yuan out of the one thousand yuan betrothal gifts are for Lili. I was in a hurry and didn't prepare a meeting gift for Lili. I thought of giving her two yuan and letting her buy whatever she likes."

Song Li raised her head and glanced at Bai Jie in surprise. She was...

Bai Jie blinked at her.

Song Li paused for a moment, then grinned knowingly.

She seemed to understand Bai Jie's intention.

It must be said that Bai Jie, the mother-in-law, is really to her liking.

She likes it!
