Chapter 5

After He Linyuan finished speaking, Song Li understood.

In the original book, he was facing an important promotion. If the original owner had not committed suicide and killed his two children, causing him to retire early, he would have been the youngest captain.

Now that she has come through and set the plot right, He Linyuan naturally returns to his original path.

“Okay, I will definitely take good care of them.”

Song Li smiled and nodded, put the rice bowl on the table, and put bones in the two children’s bowls.

“Don’t you have anything to ask?”

Song Li’s reaction was too calm, which made He Linyuan uncomfortable.

In the past, whenever I heard that he was going to take the child away, I would make a huge fuss. But today was too abnormal.

The man’s eyes seemed to have substance. Song Li raised her head and pursed her lips, with a serious expression, “I know I did a lot of wrong things in the past and hurt the two children. I also know what you think. You want to take the children with you to join the army. I promise you, and I agree with your other ideas.”

Even if divorced.

She didn’t say everything in front of the child, but with He Linyuan’s intelligence, he must have understood.

Sure enough, after Song Li finished speaking, the man’s dark eyes trembled and stayed on her for a long time before moving away.

Did she really agree to a divorce?

Or is there some other conspiracy?

He Linyuan’s face was gloomy, his mind was full of thoughts. This woman had too many criminal records, and he couldn’t believe it.

Song Li ignored him. Anyway, the words had been spoken. He could believe it or not. Although he had a good figure and she liked him very much, she didn’t have to have him.

A three-legged frog is hard to find, but a two-legged man is rare?

But she is a little uglier and shorter than him…

No, can’t think about it!

The priority now is not men, but eating meat.

Some meat cannot be eaten, but some meat is right at your fingertips.

Song Li shook off the paste in her head, rolled up her sleeves, and picked up a big bone for herself.

The wild boar meat that has not been contaminated is so delicious, and the sauerkraut just neutralizes the greasiness of the fat. Song Li’s mouth was full of oil after one bite, and she almost cried. This is what people should eat. Even for this bite of food, she has to live well.

“Mom, the meat is delicious.”

Qingqing held the bone that was bigger than her face, her eyes narrowed and her mouth puffed up like a little hamster.

This was the most delicious meat she had ever eaten.

Mom is really awesome!

“If it tastes good, eat more. There’s plenty of meat today.”

Song Li waved his hand with great generosity.

He Mingze originally wanted to be very stubborn and not touch the food made by Song Li, but after hearing his sister’s words and smelling the fragrance of the big bones, his little hands unconsciously picked up the bones, and by the time he reacted, the meat was already in his mouth.

Really…it’s delicious.

He chewed on the delicious bone, buried his flushed little face in the bowl, not daring to let Song Li see his expression.

This woman will definitely laugh at him!

No matter how high the little guy’s IQ is, he is just a four-year-old child. He may seem arrogant, but he is actually so sensitive that it makes people feel distressed.

Song Li rubbed his head and put a piece of meat into his bowl, “Xiao Ze, eat more too.”

He Mingze paused in chewing, and his lowered eyes widened slightly.

Ozawa…

Shouldn’t she call him a bastard?

Moreover, her palms were so warm, just like the mother in my dream.

The little guy’s eyes were slightly red, and he rarely avoided her. He hummed sullenly, then buried his head deeper.

Qingqing was addicted to eating meat, her little feet were lifted up happily. After chewing a piece of bone, she saw that He Linyuan hadn’t picked up his chopsticks yet, so she asked him in a baby voice.

“Dad, why aren’t you eating? Is it because Mommy didn’t get any for you?” As soon as she said this, the two people at the table looked at each other quickly.

Qingqing hadn’t noticed yet, and sighed like a little adult, “Mom, can you help Dad get a piece too?”

Compared to them, dad is the child.

Under Qingqing’s earnest gaze, Song Li picked up a piece of bone and put it into He Linyuan’s bowl. He Linyuan pursed his lips, his expression a little unnatural, “Thank you.”

Because of what Song Li said just now, he could no longer maintain the coldness on his face.

It was the first time that the family of four sat together to eat. There was a rare quietness at the table, and He Linyuan was somewhat uncomfortable with it.

But when he put the sauerkraut and pork ribs in his mouth, he had no thoughts at all.

It’s not that He Linyuan hasn’t eaten delicious food before. On the contrary, he has eaten quite a lot, but no food has ever amazed him so much.

This… was really done by Song Li?

He Linyuan suddenly didn’t recognize his wife anymore.

Song Li gave him too much shock today. Even someone as smart as He Linyuan was still a little confused at this moment.

After dinner, He Linyuan took the initiative to clean up and He Mingze helped him wash the dishes.

The two stood by the sink. The little girl stepped on the bench, her body just reaching He Linyuan’s chest. He lowered his head to wash the dishes and said in a muffled voice, “It would be nice if she could stay like this forever.”

He was willing to do it even if he was beaten twice.

It is self-evident who He Mingze is referring to.

He Linyuan turned his head to look at Song Li who was washing her daughter’s hair outside. Qingqing was making a fuss about wanting to play in the water, and she grabbed her hand with a smile.

The woman had a bright and charming smile, with half of her sleeves rolled up to reveal her fair and slender arm. It was this arm that pressed against his chest that night, causing his breathing to become heavy and forcing him to sink.

Just when Song Li was about to look over, He Linyuan hurriedly withdrew his gaze, his ears filled with heat.

“Um.”

He also hoped that Song Li could always be like this, even if it was just pretending.

She doesn’t want a divorce…and he doesn’t have to.

At the same time, the people in the old Song family were also shocked by the sauerkraut and pork ribs that Song Chenglin brought.

Zhang Xiu stared at his third son, “Did your sister really do this? Are you telling a lie?”

Could her daughter have this skill?

Song Chenglin’s nose was raised to the sky, and he was very proud. “What I saw with my own eyes, how could it be false? Mom, you are just looking down on people. My little sister is so smart, there is nothing she can’t do.”

“Who are you calling a dog? You little brat deserves to be punished!”

Zhang Xiu slapped him, but he couldn’t hide the smile on his face.

“Her father, our little girl Li is really sensible now. She even said that she wants to work and honor us. I know that this girl is not loved in vain. Second and third brothers, you must love your sister more in the future. Your sister will remember it.”

Song Chengcai and Song Chenglin nodded repeatedly, “Don’t worry, Mom. We will definitely treat little sister well.”

“I’ll send twenty of my stored eggs to your sister tomorrow. Mingze and Qingqing have suffered so much injustice, so they need to be compensated. And your sister has lost a lot of weight recently.”

As Zhang Xiu was muttering, Li Guizhi lowered her head and listened to her mother-in-law sending something to her sister-in-law’s house. Her fingertips turned white as she held the chopsticks.

The three chickens at home only lay two eggs a day. I worked hard to save up twenty eggs, and you gave them all to my sister-in-law?

Li Guizhi felt aggrieved because other families favored their sons, but her mother-in-law favored her daughter.

But if you really love your daughter, why don’t you love their little girl too?

Doesn’t her little girl not get to eat eggs?

Li Guizhi glanced at her thin daughter and her eyes turned red. For the first time, she felt that there was no hope in this life.

……

Song Li gave the two children a bath and washed their hair, and changed the quilt covers and sheets on the kang.

The original owner was not a particular person and it had been who knows how long since he had cleaned the place. There were spider webs on the kang cabinet.

There were also two children’s clothes, which were torn and the cotton was exposed.

In the past, when He Linyuan sent her an allowance, he would always ask her to buy clothes for the children, but every time the original owner received the money, she would run to the state-owned restaurant and forgot all the instructions.

Even when He Linyuan couldn’t bear to buy clothes for the children, she would wait until they left and exchange the money for meat.

Thinking of what the original owner had done, Song Li felt upset, and it was no wonder that He Linyuan wanted to divorce her.

Just now when she was dressing the children, He Linyuan saw the two children’s cotton-padded jackets and his face, which had just relaxed, turned dark again.

Alas! She had to pay for the sins committed by the original owner.

After finishing the cleaning, looking at her impoverished home, Song Li silently remembered what things she wanted to buy.

Cotton-padded jackets and quilts are necessary. The temperature in Heilongjiang Province is over 40 degrees below zero in winter. Even if the kang is heated, their tattered quilts cannot withstand it.

There are also clothes for the two children. She does have a lot of supplies in her space, but she has to think of a suitable reason to take them out.

Fortunately, although it is a planned economy now, there are already some people in the city doing business secretly. She plans to go and have a look tomorrow, pick out some inconspicuous soap fabrics in the space and sell them for money.

It gets dark early in winter. In the evening, Song Li made hand-rolled noodles with the leftover broth from lunch, and the two children gulped down a big bowl of it.

After two meals, the hostility in He Mingze’s eyes faded a lot.

It seems that the two little ones are like her and are foodies.

However, if you want to eat well and live well, you must have money first. That night, Song Li was thinking about how to get rich and had no embarrassment at all about sleeping in the same bed with a strange man.

However, He Linyuan couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night, for fear that the woman would sneak into his bed again.

He didn’t notice the scene he had expected until he heard steady breathing next to him.

He Linyuan curled the corners of his lips in self-mockery. Perhaps this woman had really changed, and would stay away from him in the future as she said.

That’s good.

He Linyuan thought about it and closed his eyes, but the slight stuffiness in his chest made him feel a little uncomfortable.

When Song Li woke up in the morning, there was no one next to her. There was a note under her pillow saying that He Linyuan had taken the two children to the city and left breakfast for her in the pot.

Song Li lifted the lid of the pot and saw two sweet potatoes and a bowl of corn porridge, still steaming, which must have been because they had just left.

Song Li finished her meal in a hurry, picked up a backpack and headed back to the city.
