Reborn in the 90s, tearing apart scumbag men for the sake of women.

It's been so long since Song Jianping finally humbled himself and spoke to her.

Putting the overall situation first, Zhao Jueyu didn't stand on ceremony: "Now that Lingge mentions it, I do remember that I did hear my dad and the others talking about it last time I went back, but I didn't listen carefully. Since you put it that way, I'll take Lingge back again tomorrow."

Even Zhao Jueyu said so, so it seems to be pretty much true.

Song Jianping knew Zhao Jueyu well; she wasn't one to speak carelessly.

At this moment, Song Lingge let out a soft sigh.

Song Jianping and Zhao Jueyu didn't pay attention, but Song Jianmei had sharp ears and heard it.

Perhaps it was from eating too many pig ears, or perhaps it was from listening to too much gossip; in any case, Song Jianmei heard it all clearly.

"Lingge, what's wrong? Why are you sighing?"

Upon hearing Song Jianmei speak, both Song Jianping and Zhao Jueyu focused their attention on her.

Song Lingge then slowly said, "We just went back, and if we go again now, Grandma and Grandpa will worry."

That's true. Because she married Song Jianping, Zhao Jueyu rarely goes back to her parents' home. Now that Song Lingge is in school, she goes back even less often.

Going back and forth without any apparent reason might give elders the impression that something bad has happened at home.

And this has happened before.

One year, Song Lingge fell ill.

At that time, Song Jianping and Zhao Jueyu didn't have much money, and the two of them couldn't even afford to pay for their child's medical treatment.

So Zhao Jueyu went back several times in a row. Later, he couldn't hold it in any longer and cried, saying that he was going back to borrow money.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were both angry and heartbroken. From then on, whenever Zhao Jueyu went back home several times in a row, they felt that something had happened at home.

Song Jianmei loves gossip, so she knows all about these things.

"It's no big deal. If you ask me, it's my brother's fault. He doesn't know how to behave. You're a son-in-law, you've eaten and used so much from your father-in-law, and now you don't even know how to be filial to your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

"As the old saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. If you and Lingge go back tomorrow with lots of gifts, it would be best if you could also bring some money. Then your in-laws won't worry that you're in trouble."

It has to be said that Song Jianmei is a shrewd person; in these matters of interpersonal relationships, she is indeed far ahead of Song Jianping and his wife.

After careful consideration, Song Jianping realized that this was indeed the case; his success in this life was truly due to marrying Zhao Jueyu.

Moreover, the money comes from the people; no matter how much they give Zhao Zhangguo, it will all end up with them in the end.

Song Jianping immediately slapped his thigh and finalized the matter, then took Song Jianmei to buy gifts for Zhao Zhangguo and his wife.

Why not bring Zhao Jueyu and Song Lingge along? Of course, it's because he doesn't trust them, and he also has some things to ask Song Jianmei.

To avoid arousing Zhao Jueyu's suspicion, he even made up a reason on the spot: Song Jianmei has good taste, and the gift she picked out would definitely suit Zhao Zhangguo's taste.

Isn't this utterly ridiculous? The biological daughter can't find a suitable match, but the annoying relative can?

However, Zhao Jueyu wouldn't say anything. After all these years, it was finally a good thing that Song Jianping, that miser, had finally plucked some feathers from his trousers.

Why would Zhao Zhangguo and his wife care whether they brought back gifts or not?

After seeing off Song Jianping and his sister, Song Lingge immediately collapsed onto the sofa. Dealing with people is quite a chore!

Zhao Jueyu's expression remained grave: "I wonder what they'll say when they go out?"

Knowing Zhao Jueyu's worries, Song Lingge comforted him, "No matter what we say, can it be any worse than it is now?"

Song Lingge wasn't worried at all about Song Jianping and his sister conspiring to do anything. After all, their lives in their previous life were much worse than they were now. If she could persuade Song Jianping to buy a house, it would be an extra layer of security, and everything would only move in a positive direction.

Back to Song Jianping, he only called Song Jianmei out because he wanted to find out something.

It's not that he's overthinking things; it's just that Song Jianmei and Zhao Jueyu were acting too strangely today. After being estranged for over a decade, they suddenly became as intimate as if they were worshipping Guan Yu. Who could believe that?

If you can trust Guan Gong, then Guan Gong will worry himself sick over your family.

"Jianmei, tell me the truth, did your sister-in-law encourage you to persuade me to buy a house?"

With only two siblings left, Song Jianping spoke without beating around the bush.

Song Jianmei couldn't help but spit out her saliva, truly feeling sorry for Zhao Jueyu. What kind of man had she married?

"Brother, no offense, but did your wife and Lingge ever mention buying a house to you before?"

"No, I only heard about it from you guys today."

"That settles it then. If it was instigation, it was your sister who instigated them. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. I came to you today to talk about this. I just didn't expect that your sister-in-law and Lingge are more farsighted than you. As soon as I brought it up, they said it was feasible. Unlike you, who can't see the details."

Song Jianping had no choice but to accept the complaints from his younger sister.

Only then did I feel at ease enough to buy things for my father-in-law and his family.

Song Jianmei mocked him the whole way, saying he was stingy when buying things for his father-in-law.

Song Jianping couldn't get past the incident and ended up buying several hundred yuan worth of things after being stabbed.

Of course, Song Jianmei didn't forget to include her own purchases as well, buying quite a few things for herself as well.

Having taken so many things, it was naturally embarrassing to go to Song Jianping's house to steal more.

Song Jianmei asked Song Jianping to take her to the station. Before boarding the train, she instructed him, "Brother, be generous and let your wife take some more money back with her. Don't let your father-in-law think you're stingy."

Song Jianmei already had a loud voice, and she was shouting as she got into the car, which attracted the attention of passersby.

Song Jianping was shy and really wanted her to leave quickly, but the bus seemed to be deliberately delaying its departure.

Even after Song Jianmei sat down, she kept rambling on and on.

Song Jianping was so embarrassed that his face turned red and white in turns.

Finally, the car drove away, and Song Jianping carried the gifts home. Even after walking a long way, he still felt that people were laughing at him.

This was the first time Song Jianping had ever carried so many bags and packages. The neighbors looked at him like he was a rare sight and asked him all sorts of questions. It took him an hour to walk home from just one intersection.

Not to mention the neighbors, even Zhao Jueyu and her daughter were amazed by the sheer number of gifts.

Unexpectedly, after returning home, Song Jianping not only did not relax, but felt even more ashamed.

Over the years, he has really been living off women.

Song Jianping gave an awkward smile: "You guys take it to Mom and Dad tomorrow, I won't go."

He was really embarrassed to go; if he carried so much stuff, he might be laughed at by the Zhao family's neighbors.

Song Jianping would never do something so shameful, so let the mother and daughter go!

After thinking for a moment, Song Jianping went into the inner room, took out 200 yuan, and handed it to Zhao Jueyu.

“Give your parents another 200 yuan, and say it's a gift from me to show my respect. Say some nice things to them.”

Zhao Jueyu felt it was ironic, but he still smiled and agreed.

Seeing Zhao Jueyu's obedience, Song Jianping took out another hundred yuan: "Use this hundred yuan to buy yourself and Lingge a new outfit!"
