Chapter 428: The Song Family’s Current Situation

Xia Zhizhi lived a casual life. She would indulge herself in things when she felt like it, but would quickly forget about them when she was no longer interested. She was just like a Poseidon.

She had had enough of the old Song family. If her sister and Song Zhili had not fallen in love again, Xia Zhizhi probably would never think of them again in her life.

Ever since she went to the Song family at the beginning of the year, she has been traveling all over the world. She has been away from Nanjianzi Lane for a long time.

She led a colorful life and did not rely on the gossip about the Song family for entertainment, so she naturally would not go out of her way to inquire about it.

The Xia family may know about the Song family's situation, but they would not specifically mention it in front of Xia Zhizhi.

Therefore, she was not very clear about the current situation of the Song family.

Although it was snowing, there were still many people on the road because it was rush hour.

Xia Zhizhi was dressed neatly in a hat, scarf and coat, but the enthusiastic mothers' eyes were always like those of a detective.

A lady actually recognized her.

Xia Zhizhi was sweet-talking, generous, and always able to provide them with gossip. During the time she was away, the enthusiastic crowd missed her a lot.

The eldest mother came towards her and saw a new face. She glanced at her twice more and suddenly recognized her when they passed by. She immediately grabbed Xia Zhizhi and said enthusiastically, "Hey, isn't this Miss Xia?"

Xia Zhizhi had met too many people, and she had never paid much attention to unimportant people. After a long time, she could not remember the name of this elder sister.

But she was always a good person and immediately greeted me with a smile: "Hey, sister, it's you. It's a little dark, I didn't notice you just now. You just got back from get off work?"

The eldest mother laughed and pointed out to her: "You used to call me aunt, but now you call me sister. I guess you didn't recognize me, did you?"

"You guessed it right. I didn't recognize it at first, but it's not my fault!"

Xia Zhizhi looked wronged: "You look so well these days, you look so healthy, and you look several years younger. I am embarrassed to call you aunt, so I have to call you sister instead!"

Xia Zhizhi's expression was too serious, and her mother was pleased: "You only know how to make me happy."

The eldest mother exchanged a few pleasantries with her, and because Xia Zhizhi deliberately tried to please her, the two of them quickly became familiar with each other.

After the greetings, the eldest mother turned to ask about the latest gossip: "Xiao Xia hasn't been here for a long time. What's the matter with you this time? If there's nothing important, why don't you go to my sister's house for dinner?"

Xia Zhizhi didn't know yet that inviting her to dinner was fake. She mainly wanted to ask her what she was doing here, which would naturally satisfy her curiosity.

So he continued to talk nonsense with a serious face: "You know, I was an educated youth in the countryside, and I could only go home at the end of the year. As a younger generation, I finally got home, so I naturally had to pay a visit to the Song family's grandpa and grandma. You know what, I missed them a lot after not seeing them for a year. I wonder how they are doing recently."

For nearly a year, the biggest entertainment gossip at the entrance of their alley was provided by the Song family. Even now, everyone would eat some melon seeds after dinner and discuss interesting things about their family.

The eldest mother wanted to talk to Xia Zhizhi about the gossip about the Song family, but when she glanced at Song Zhili who was following behind Xia Zhizhi, she thought it was not a good idea to talk about other people's gossip in front of them. She could only restrain her instinct and not be too obvious in gloating over other people's misfortune.

The eldest mother said meaningfully: "The Song family... is very lively now."

Song Zhili's relationship with the Song family was quite strained, and he hadn't been home for a long time, so he didn't know much about the Song family's recent situation.

The Song family has not had an easy life since they broke off the engagement with the Xia family.

The pillar of the Song family was originally old man Song, but Xia Zhizhi was so crazy that she was causing trouble in other people's home.

Old man Song was so angry that he became paralyzed and almost died. Even after being rescued, his health was not as good as before.

Although I have recovered a little, I am not as healthy as before, and my articulation is not as clear as before.

There are countless people eyeing the position under Old Man Song's buttocks. Now that they see him like this, they naturally want to beat the fallen dog and quickly squeeze him out and take his place themselves.

There was nothing he could do about it. After all, his physical condition was such that after struggling for half a year, Old Man Song finally had to give in, transferred to another job, and wait for retirement while collecting his salary.

People tend to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. Now that he is no longer in that position, his words naturally have less influence. Not only will he suffer in the unit, but without him to support them, his son and daughter-in-law will not have an easy time in the unit as before.

To put it bluntly, who wouldn't want to take a good job with good pay and easy salary?

In the past, Song Yong and Ma Chun had their father's protection behind them, so people in the unit would naturally give face to his father and praise them.

Now that his father is here, don't we all have to compete with each other as hard as we can?

In fact, it is good to have competition. It would be strange if there is no competition.

But Song Yong and Ma Chun were experiencing workplace struggles for the first time in their lives. What seemed like an ordinary struggle to everyone else was too much for them. They felt exhausted every day and returned home exhausted and mentally drained.

Let’s talk about Song Zhijie. He used to have a fiancée from a wealthy family. She was beautiful, came from a good family, and had a decent job.

Song Zhijie thought that since he was still young, he could still have two more years of fun, so he was not in a hurry to marry someone. He thought that he would wait and see for another two years, and if he found the right one, he would change it. If he didn't find one, he would have a backup.

Anyway, my fiancée is right there and she won’t run away.

But now, unfortunately, my fiancée really ran away.

Without a fiancée, Song Zhijie is already in his twenties and it is time for him to get married. He can't stay single forever, so doesn't he have to look for someone else?

After all, the Song family had some financial resources, so even though things weren't going so smoothly at work, it didn't have any major impact on their finances.

The Xia family was unhappy with this family, but they actually had no intention of making things difficult for them. Otherwise, they wouldn't need to say anything. They just needed to express their attitude and there would be people who would do it for them.

If they are smarter and more focused, their living standards will still be ahead of most people.

Everyone in the family has a job, so even if Mr. Song was transferred, it wouldn't be difficult to find a job for Song Zhijie, but it wouldn't be as ideal as his previous position.

But in this great environment these days, having a class is something that many people envy.

Speaking of Song Zhijie, his reputation is a bit bad now. Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels far and wide. Many people know that he is a playboy, so it is not easy for him to find a girl of equal status.

But no matter what year it is, marrying up or marrying down is not a strange phenomenon.
