Chapter 290 Trouble
Li's expression became even uglier, and she stopped holding Aunt Song's hand: "Alright, I get it, you're still educating your mother."
"Look at what you said. How dare I teach you a lesson?" Aunt Song replied awkwardly, "We are leaving first. Don't see us off. Go back now."
Seeing that it was getting late, Song Ying said, "Aunt, I'll go with you. I want to go back to the clinic."
Hearing this, Li's already ugly expression became even uglier, and she couldn't help cursing, "All the women in the Song family are like this, all of them are hands-off bosses, leaving as soon as they finish eating. Is my house a restaurant?"
Song Ying didn't indulge him, and didn't care whether he was at home or not, and said bluntly: "It's the New Year, how much work can there be at home, and can't you finish it with so many people? Do you have to leave me to work?
I repeat, you have separated me, I am now a guest!"
Li was so angry that she fell backwards: "Okay, okay, you are the guest! The day after tomorrow, I will go to your eldest aunt's house and you will give her a gift alone!"
"What I meant was that I didn't send a separate gift in previous years." Every year when Li went to her eldest aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings, she would give two portions of money to Uncle Song to buy two gifts. The one sent by the eldest wife would be carried by Song Ying and handed over to Aunt Song personally when they were almost at her eldest aunt's house.
At this time, Aunt Meihua and her family happened to be seeing off their relatives. When they heard Song Ying's words, they were all a little stunned.
Aunt Meihua was a straightforward person, and thinking of the generous dowry Song Ying gave Zhao Xiaocui, she immediately said, "Aunt Li, when you were still alive, your two sons didn't separate, so you could just give one New Year gift, why did you give two?"
Mrs. Li's face darkened, and Aunt Song's expression also changed.
"Yes, Aunt Li," said Aunt Meihua's eldest daughter-in-law, Xu. "The money left by Uncle Fuping is fixed. If you spend a penny, you will have a penny less. Song Ying is getting older every year, and she needs more and more money. If she doesn't have enough money when she gets married, can you ask your sons and daughters to make up for it?"
Li was already pissed off by Song Ying, and when she heard the sarcastic remarks from Aunt Meihua and Xu, she felt ashamed and angry.
"You two are really like monks scolding Taoist priests, meddling in other people's business. Do you think it's your turn to comment on what happens in my house?"
Aunt Meihua had meant to remind her well, but she didn't expect Li to answer like this. She immediately became angry: "Aunt Li, you should know when to stop being partial. Your eldest son only has this one child, and you are still trying to get her money into your eldest daughter's house.
You gave two gifts for the New Year without dividing the family. How could you think of that? Why didn't you give two gifts when you went out to a banquet?"
"Dong Meihua! It's New Year's Day, do you want to have a fight with me? You haven't figured out your own family affairs, and you dare to blame me. I have been the head of the family for my whole life, do I need you to teach me..."
Seeing that Li was about to quarrel with someone, Uncle Song and Aunt Song and others hurried to persuade both sides, but Song Ying began to think deeply. Li and Uncle Song had taught her this before, and she also felt that it was impolite to go to someone else's house empty-handed during the New Year, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Besides, she couldn't let her uncle and aunt support her, and they had to help her give gifts to relatives during the New Year.
Now, after being reminded by Aunt Meihua, she remembered that when her father was still alive, their family had not been divided, and it has not been divided until now.
The family's money was managed by Grandma Li, whether it was her father's compensation, the money her second uncle earned from selling eels, the money the family earned from selling duck eggs, as well as other previous income, interpersonal relationships, and daily expenses of the family.
Since there is no division of the family, why do we need to give two gifts when we go to our eldest aunt's house? When my father was still alive, it seems that we did not give two gifts.
Her eyes fell on Auntie Song and then on Auntie Song No. 2. She used to think that Mrs. Li only wanted her daughter to stay at home for one night, so when Auntie Song did not stay for one night, she complained, and when Auntie Song No. 2 wanted to stay for a few more days, she did not allow it.
Now she couldn't help but wonder, if there was no conflict between her family and the Li family, and they would go to visit the Li family during the Chinese New Year, then would she need to prepare two gifts when visiting her second aunt's house?
At this moment, she saw clearly the importance of her son, daughter, grandchildren in Li's heart.
When her father was still alive, her grandmother naturally valued her sons more, so when she visited her daughter's home to wish her a happy new year, her two sons only gave one gift.
Of the two daughters of her eldest aunt and second aunt, she favored her eldest aunt more. And the granddaughter born to the daughter-in-law she disliked was naturally inferior to her biological eldest daughter.
It was New Year's Day, and both Mrs. Li and Aunt Meihua were very restrained. After being persuaded by their families, they soon stopped talking. Mrs. Li also didn't say anything about Song Ying returning to the clinic.
However, after Aunt Meihua's words, the journey that Song Ying took with Aunt Song's family became very silent.
Back in the clinic, while still in the courtyard, Song Ying heard the crisp sound of chopsticks hitting plates in the clinic, and then heard Han Zhijie's voice: "I'm so badly injured, and you're giving me this to eat? Where's the wine?"
Song Ying couldn't help but frown. He was injured like that but still wanted to drink. Was he taking advantage of his luck?
She walked towards the clinic, and just as she reached the door, Lin Wenxuan poked his head out of the pharmacy window, "Junior sister."
Song Ying turned around and entered the pharmacy, "That Han Zhijie..."
"Hey, don't mention it. You don't know that today, he had to wipe his body, eat, read, and enjoy the snow. His wife was ordered around all day, and she did nothing but watch over him. She almost didn't have time to eat."
"How can he be so restless?" Song Ying was stunned. You know, Han Zhijie is seriously injured now and his ability to move is very limited.
"That's right." Lin Wenxuan curled his lips, "Luckily his wife is here, otherwise I'd really worry about him ordering me around like this."
Song Ying remembered his politeness in the morning and said, "He probably won't order us around. He's quite humble and accepts courtesy to outsiders."
Lin Wenxuan sighed and said, "You don't have to stay in the clinic tonight. He looks so energetic. There won't be any problems."
As he spoke, he glanced at the next room and lowered his voice, "Mrs. Fang should not dare to make any more small moves."
Song Ying nodded. Ever since Han Zhijie woke up, Madam Fang had been like a little lamb, doing whatever Han Zhijie said and not daring to disobey him. And it was indeed not appropriate for her to stay here at night.
"Okay, then tell your uncle and I'll come over tomorrow morning."
She turned around, left the clinic, and went to Zhang's to buy Doctor Lin's favorite Yunpian Cake and some other cakes before going to Shen's house.
As soon as they arrived at the kitchen, Xiaolu asked enthusiastically, "Sister Song Ying, I haven't seen you for a few days. Did you go home for the New Year?"
"I came back on the night of the first day of the new year, but you were not there." Song Ying simply ignored her latter question.
Xiaolu scratched his head and said, "I'm going to my mother's house for a reunion."
As she spoke, she pulled Song Ying aside and said, "You don't know, that person made trouble again on New Year's Eve."
