Seeing her beloved daughter return, all of Ms. Lü's earlier discomfort vanished. She hugged her daughter and gently patted her back.

"Qingqing, why are you back at this time? I haven't seen you in so long. How have you been lately?"

After speaking, Madam Lü carefully looked Ji Qingqing up and down. Seeing that she was a little fatter than when she last saw her, Madam Lü's displeasure disappeared completely.

"Hehe, Grandma, Grandpa, look, this is my little aunt, little aunt, this is my grandma and grandpa."

Seeing her mother run inside first, Song Qiqi took Song Zhili's hand and walked into the courtyard together, proudly introducing Song Zhili to them.

Song Zhili nodded respectfully to them, momentarily unsure of how to address them.

"How can you be so rude, girl? You're a guest here and you don't even know to greet people."

Ji Facai wasn't unhappy yet, but Ji Lan was the first to complain.

"Alan, stop talking."

Ji Facai glared at Ji Lan, then smiled and said to Song Zhili, "Hehe, you're the youngest daughter of the Song family, right? Come, come in, don't stand at the door."

Song Zhili nodded. "Wait, Uncle Ji, I brought you some things this time. I hope you won't find them too much."

After Song Zhili finished speaking, she turned around and walked to the door to help Song Zidong unload the things from the oxcart.

When Ji Lan heard Song Zhili say that, she became even more curious about what they would bring, so she followed Song Zhili out. When she saw the contents of the oxcart, she was completely dumbfounded.

"Oh my god, Zidong, did you bring all these things over to give to my older brother?"

When Song Zidong heard Ji Lan ask the question, he smiled and replied, "Yes, Aunt, these are all things I brought to give to my parents-in-law."

"Brother, could you come out and help me? Help me carry these things inside."

Song Zidong was carrying a bag of grain in one hand, and there was some flour and meat on the oxcart. He called out to the courtyard.

Ji Xiangwen, who was in the courtyard, heard Song Zidong's voice and immediately went out to help. However, he had only taken two steps when his arm was grabbed. He turned around and saw that it was his wife, Li Xiao, who had grabbed him.

"Honey, why are you pulling me? I'm going to help Zidong."

As soon as Ji Xiangwen finished speaking, Ji Qingqing, Madam Lü, and Ji Facai all looked in her direction.

Li Xiao could only awkwardly withdraw her hand. "Hehe, it's nothing. I just wanted you to help Zidong move some things quickly."

Li Xiao had just stopped him, intending not to let him go out to help, because she guessed that what Song Zidong and the others brought were either radishes or sweet potatoes.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, she had no choice but to change her tune and force a smile, asking him to go and help.

"Mrs. Lü, our daughter is finally back. You and Mrs. Li go to the kitchen to cook. Make a lot. Oh, and kill a chicken while you're at it. Qiqi loves chicken legs."

Ji Facai gave an instruction to Lu Shi and Li Xiao, and then he followed Ji Xiangwen to the door to help move things.

When they saw what was on the oxcart, the two of them were stunned for a moment.

"Father-in-law, elder brother, there is still some meat and flour on this oxcart. Could you please help lift it?"

Seeing the two men standing there in a daze, Song Zidong pointed to a bag of flour on the oxcart and some meat next to it.

Upon hearing Song Zidong's voice, the two of them snapped out of their daze and hurriedly went forward to help him unload the remaining items from the car.

"Sister-in-law, where should we put this piece of cloth?"

Song Zhili walked over from outside carrying the two bolts of cloth. Seeing Ji Qingqing and Madam Lü talking in the courtyard, she went up to them and asked.

Li Xiao, who was standing to the side, was the first to see the cloth in Song Zhili's hand. Her eyes lit up and she immediately stepped forward to take the two bolts of cloth from Song Zhili.

"Oh my god, is this really for us? Then we'll take it! Qingqing, you're such a kind sister-in-law, bringing such nice things on your first visit. Why don't you sit in the yard? I'll go cook dinner now."

After saying this with a cheerful smile, Li Xiao picked up the two bolts of cloth, turned around, and went inside to put them down. Then she went to the kitchen to start cooking.

Meanwhile, Song Qiqi and Song Ziming played with Ji Yan and the others on the side.

Song Zhili sat in the courtyard drinking water, feeling bored. Ji Lan came over and looked Song Zhili up and down.

She then sat down opposite Song Zhili and asked her many questions, eventually getting a little annoyed by Song Zhili's questions.

Fortunately, Ji Qingqing noticed the commotion and, knowing what kind of person Ji Lan was, immediately came over to smooth things over.

"Auntie, it's almost lunchtime, why aren't you going back to cook? Uncle will be angry soon."

Upon hearing Ji Qingqing's words, Ji Lan reluctantly glanced at the sky, stood up, and left their house.

"Little sister, don't take it too seriously, that's just how my aunt is."

Song Zhili naturally wouldn't hold it against her. She smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing."

Madam Lü also heard from Ji Qingqing about Song Zhili leaving home. Now, it's Song Zhili who's leading their family to earn money, so their lives are getting better and better.

She enthusiastically stepped forward and chimed in, "Yes, Da Ya, Qingqing's aunt is just like that, don't pay any attention to her."

By the way, I heard from Qingqing that Sun Taohua is working for your family now, and I should thank you on her behalf.”

"Aunt Lü, you're too kind. It's nothing."

Song Zhili responded with a smile.

Afterwards, the group chatted in the courtyard for a while, and then Song Zhili had a simple meal at their house.

In the afternoon, Song Zhili and the others decided to go back.

The Lu family and the others escorted Song Zhili and her companions to the village entrance before returning home.

It was almost dark when Song Zhili and the others returned home. They were just in time for dinner, as Li and the others had already prepared the meal.

"By the way, Daya, your dad went to deliver food to He Chengjing just now, but his door was locked. He knocked for a long time but no one answered. Is he not home? Did he tell you?"

Hearing this, Song Zhili shook her head, "I don't know either. If he's not here, don't bother sending him off. Just ignore him."

Song Zhili didn't think much of it, assuming he had gone out to buy the medicinal herbs he needed.

After having dinner and washing up, Song Zhili went back to her room and watched TV for a while in her spatial dimension. Around nine o'clock, she came out of the spatial dimension, intending to go to sleep.

Suddenly, she heard some noise outside the door and smelled a strong stench of blood. She became alert and used her mind to enter the space and access the surveillance footage.

When she saw the footage on the surveillance camera, she was terrified.
