After the schedule of Li Zhong and his son was decided, the family also began to prepare for Li Bosong.
Although Li Bosong is on vacation, he often goes to Song Yan's house to help, and even prepared a wheelchair for Song Yan's mother to make travel easier.
Mother Song looked at Li Bosong busy at work, and the more she looked at it, the happier she became. She often wondered what kind of family could raise such a child.
Song Yan's younger brothers and sisters also accepted this brother-in-law, and would even tell Song Yan if it was inconvenient to tell him.
The date to go to Li's house was decided, but Song Yan, who had always been calm, also lost sleep.
"Yanyan, are you nervous?"
Song's mother was originally suffering from illness and had little sleep. Although Song Yan tried to stay still, Song's mother still noticed her.
"Have I disturbed you?" Song Yan hesitated for a moment, then opened a corner of the curtain in the darkness and looked at her mother.
"No, is it because of what happened tomorrow?" Mother Song tilted her head and looked at her.
"Well, Mom, I'm a little nervous."
These days, she often thinks of the days when her father was still alive. They were once children held in the palm of their parents' hands, and they once had a happy family just like their peers.
The hardships she endured in the following years taught her what it means to be strong, but she has not yet learned how to support a family.
In fact, she had known Li Bosong for a long time. When she was working as a student during the work-study program, she and Cai Xiaofeng lived in the same dormitory, and she knew that his family also owned real estate in the city.
I also know that his family has a very powerful sister-in-law, and the family is at least a well-off family.
How could her family agree to her situation?
"Yanyan, that boy Bo Song is a good boy, and his family is not bad either." Mother Song still had tears in her eyes when she thought of this.
Isn't her Yanyan a good girl?
But I am just dragged down by this family.
"Yanyan, it's my mother who can't help you. This family..."
"mom!"
"Mom~"
There was also movement in the other bunk bed, and the person who poked his head out was Song Xiang, the second eldest son of the Song family.
"Don't keep saying you're sorry for us. If you're sorry, it's us who can't forgive you."
"If we didn't drag you down, you wouldn't be so sick. I've thought about it. I won't go to college. I'm a man. I have a high school degree. I can find a job to support Linlin and Song Lian."
Song Yan was anxious and angry. She lowered her voice and stuck her head out and said, "Song Xiang! What are you talking about! If you don't go to college, what kind of job can you find with your high school degree? How can you support them both?"
Song Xiang's tone was very firm, "You don't have to worry about this. I still have some strength, so I can still earn a salary."
"Ahem..." Mother Song looked excited. She wanted to get up but couldn't.
Seeing their mother coughing violently, Song Xiang and Song Yan both got out of bed. One went to pour water, and the other went to check on their mother. Song Xiang's tone became softer.
"Sister, you are going to get married after all. You can't let your family tie you down. Brother Li is a nice person, so you should stop worrying about this family. I am a man, and I should be the one to support this family."
"Also, there's me." Song Lian didn't know when he poked his head out of the upper bunk, and raised a hand with a somewhat thick nasal voice.
"Why are you causing trouble? If you want to help, you have to graduate from high school."
Song Xiang was tall. When he stood up straight, he could look at Song Lian on the bunk and pushed his head back.
Song Lin didn't know how long she had been hiding in the quilt and crying. She poked her head out while sobbing, and her nasal voice was extremely heavy.
"Sister...I don't want to be admitted to Beijing University anymore, I..."
"Even if I get married, I will still be your eldest sister! I have the final say in this family. Li Bosong knows our family's situation and has promised to support your education. If his family disagrees, he must ask me to sever ties with you.
, I don’t care if I don’t get married!”
"We are a family. We will be together whether we live or die. Don't forget what you promised me. No matter what, you are not allowed to give up your studies!"
After hearing Song Yan's words, Song's mother sobbed in a low voice: "Yanyan, you can't do this. You are already twenty-three years old. If you miss Bo Song again, you..."
"Sister, we can make money by ourselves, but you can't do this, it will delay you for the rest of your life."
"Yes, eldest sister, Brother Bosong is really good..."
Song Yan's tone was particularly tough, just like when she didn't want to stay in school and resolutely returned to Haishi.
"No need to say anything, go to bed quickly, everyone goes to bed!"
That night, none of the Song family slept well.
Song Xiang found a job as a tutor during the holidays. He got up early as usual and gave Song Yan thirty yuan before leaving.
"Sister, when you go to someone's house for the first time, don't be reluctant to spend money. Buy two kilograms of good snacks and bring two bottles of wine."
Song Yan knew that this was the money Song Xiang had saved through her hard work to tutor others, and she instantly felt sad.
"Sister, I know you can't let us go, but we have grown up and can help you. This is the money I earned in the school cafeteria this semester, and I will give it to you too." Song Lin took out something from the middle of her clothes
There were several banknotes, including ten yuan, five yuan, and one or two yuan.
Song Lin looked at the money and felt a little uneasy. She had never dared to let her eldest sister know about her part-time job in the cafeteria. She was really afraid that her eldest sister would scold her.
Song Lian watched his second brother and third sister pay money to his eldest sister, and felt very panicked. He had no money, so he used all the money to eat and buy school supplies...
"No, eldest sister has money. I will save this money for you to go to school." Song Yan handed the money to her mother.
Mother Song had mixed feelings in her heart. Her children were all sensible, but after all, the money could not cover anything. The second child would go to college next summer, and the tuition and living expenses were a huge expense.
.....
When Li Bosong came, Mrs. Song swept away the sadness on her face and seemed to be somewhat flattering when she spoke.
"Bosong thank you for making this trip. Yanyan's temper is a bit bad and she is very stubborn. If she has done anything inappropriate, I'd like to trouble you..."
Before she could finish her words, Li Bosong smiled and looked at Song Yan who was busy packing her things. "Auntie, Song Yan is very good. You don't have to worry."
This house is really small. There are several siblings in the family, plus Li Bosong, there is almost no place to set foot.
Li Bosong took Song Yan out of the house, followed closely by the brothers Song Xiang and Song Lian. Song Lin stood at the back in front of the door, her eyes full of anxiety and reluctance.
"Sister, mom asked you to take this money and buy some things."
Song Lin followed her at a trot, rolled the money into a roll, and stuffed it into Song Yan's pocket. She was afraid that she wouldn't want it, so she ran home without missing a moment, standing in front of the door and looking back at the two of them.
Li Bosong brought Uncle Lin with him this time, mainly because he needed to buy something, and it was not so convenient to carry it with him by bicycle.
Besides, it’s okay for him to ride a bicycle for more than half an hour. How could he let Song Yan come with her?
When Song Yan saw the car in front of her, she looked at Li Bosong blankly.
"My sister-in-law's car is the same as the driver's." Li Bosong explained quickly, for fear that she would have some burden on her heart.
