The straw bag beauty is on the rise

Mr. Song's house.

Not only Song Shangyan brought Song Chuji over to pay New Year's greetings, but also his brother and some people from the collateral lineage.

But in the end, it was their family members who stayed for lunch.

Because Mr. Song was serious, he hardly started any topics, let alone teasing the younger generation. But fortunately, there were other people, so the atmosphere at the dinner table was not so stiff as to be cold.

Song merchant, that is, Song Shangyan's second younger brother, glanced at Song Chuji, smiled, and asked about Song Chuji's work in the company.

Song Chuji's expression was indifferent, and he responded smoothly.

Song Merchant smiled, "It's really a tiger father without a dog. It seems that although Chu Ji is young, he is very organized in dealing with the company's affairs."

Song Shangyan said: "After all, Chuji will take over the burden in my hands in the future, how can I pass if I don't work hard?"

When Song Merchant heard the words, his expression remained unchanged, but a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes.

"That's what I said, but Chuji is a girl after all, if she gets married in the future, then this..."

What he meant inside and outside the words was nothing more than worrying that after Song Chuji got married, he would hand over everything from the Song family to her husband's family.

Mr. Song raised his eyes and looked over.

Song Chuji's expression was indifferent, "Second Uncle, don't worry, the things you worry about will not happen."

Song Shanghu had a face of disapproval, showing the concern of the elders on the surface.

"Hey, Chuji is still young after all, you don't know... Once this woman meets someone she likes or gets married, it's easy to..."

His voice stopped here, and he didn't say anything else, just smiled inexplicably.But no matter who it is, it is easy to guess the unspoken meaning of his words.

The words and deeds of Song merchants are nothing more than thinking that the water thrown by the married daughter cannot be trusted.

Song Chuji slightly raised his eyebrows, "Really? Then it's better not to marry."

The Song merchant shook his head disapprovingly, "How can you not marry someone? If you don't marry someone, what will happen to the Song family with such a large family business in the future?"

There was a smile on Song Chuji's lips, "Oh? Second uncle is worried about the heir?"

Song Merchant nodded worriedly.

Song Chuji said: "If this is the case, shouldn't the second uncle be happier? After all, if I have no successor, I can choose a suitable successor from the uncles' families."

Song Merchant's expression froze, and many emotions flashed in his eyes, including surprise and greed.

After what Song Chuji said...it seems that this is really the case.

He thought quickly.

According to Song Chuji's situation, it should be difficult to find a marriage partner, after all, the other party is obviously not the type that is easy to control.

If it is said that Song Chuji is more likely to marry someone, or Song Chuji is alone, it is undoubtedly the latter.

And if it's the latter... When Song Chuji inherits the Song family business, and she has no children in her middle age or old age, she will inevitably have to choose a suitable one from other younger generations, if her family is chosen.

Song Merchant's breathing became short of breath.

Mr. Song glanced from below, "Okay."

His majestic voice interrupted all communication and imagination.

"This kind of thing should be considered by the elders. Why are you joining in the fun?"

Although he was old, his eyes were as majestic as ever.

"You three brothers, each of you is assigned to the family business. As for who will make the family business bigger and who will make the family business smaller, that is all your own business. Now you rely on the elders to eat soup, Just ignore the boss's business."

Song Shanghu withdrew his thoughts and responded in a low voice, but he was dissatisfied in his heart.

Although the three brothers divided the family property, anyone with a discerning eye knew how much the family property was, and Song Shangyan was undoubtedly the one who took the lion's share.How satisfied is this to Song Merchant.

Even if he knew that the family property was in his hands, he could only lose it all, but seeing Song Shangyan earn a lot of money, how could he not be jealous.

If Song Shangyan's family business can be inherited by his own family...

Song Merchant changed the subject, "But then again, does Chu Ji really have no one he likes? You are old enough to think about starting a family."

Song Chuji was unmoved, "Don't worry yet."

Song Merchant: "How can you not be in a hurry? Chuji, if you wait until you are thirty, it will be too late."

Song Chuji was tired of hearing it.

Song Shangyan said at this time: "Actually, it is not necessarily necessary to marry someone from another family. In a situation like Chuji, it is also possible to find someone to marry."

Mr. Song looked over and nodded slightly, "It's just that such a candidate must be carefully selected."

Song Shangyan: "It's natural, and Chu Ji has to watch it before."

Song Merchant rolled his eyes: "Dad, why don't you leave this matter to me."

The third brother, Song Shangmao, interrupted his words: "Second brother, eat more and talk less, no matter how this matter is, the eldest brother will help watch over it."

Song Merchant: "Brother is so busy, how can he take care of this kind of thing? Chuji, just leave this matter to your second aunt, she is the best at it."

"Second brother..."

Song Merchant: "Isn't this my sister-in-law passed away? If my sister-in-law is still here, I will definitely not complain. After all, I also want to share my brother's worries."

Song Shangmao: "Although the sister-in-law passed away, there are still people in the elder brother's family."

Song Merchant immediately interrupted him, "Go! What nonsense."

Song Shangmao also stopped.

The corner of Mr. Song's mouth curled down, "There is no one in the old family."

He knew exactly who Song Shang was referring to, but asked Chang Yanzhi to choose a partner for Song Chuji?Mr. Song is not so dizzy yet.

What's more, he didn't recognize Chang Yanzhi's status at all.

Mr. Song: "But this matter is not your business, I will help Chuji take care of it."

So much for the words of the elders.

Song Chuji frowned slightly, but he didn't intend to interrupt Mr. Song in front of others.

Besides...

She knew very well in her heart how difficult this matter was.

In fact, if you just like the same sex, it's nothing, but the key is that that person is Li Man.

Song Chuji lowered his eyes, covering up the many emotions in his eyes, with a bit of heaviness.

And there was one more thing she had to consider.

If Song Chuji really wanted to develop something with Li Man, then there would be absolutely no possibility for Chang Yanzhi to enter the Song family.

After the noon dinner, the three brothers took their families and planned to go back to their respective homes.

Song Merchant still wanted to talk to Song Shangyan about this matter, but Song Shangyan stopped him.

Song Chuji glanced at the direction of the study, not in a hurry.

On the way back, Song Shangyan asked Song Chuji: "What do you think? Which one do you prefer?"

Song Chuji was silent for a while, and then said: "I am more inclined to...free love. Our Song family does not have to marry, nor does it need to rely on the strength of other families to make further progress."

Song Shangyan nodded, "Indeed, that's the truth."

This is also the reason why he is not in a hurry about the Su family's marriage request.

For his own daughter, he loves him immensely. "Choose someone you like to spend the rest of your life with."

Song Shangyan had some emotion.

Song Chuji's eyes moved, and with a little emotion that he couldn't figure out, he asked softly: "Then, are you spending the rest of your life with the person you like now?"

Unexpectedly, Song Chuji would ask this question, Song Shang was stunned for a moment.

Song Chuji closed his eyes, "Pretend I didn't ask."

Song Shangyan thought for a while in silence.

"Not exactly, but... I do have a crush on your Aunt Chang."

Song Chuji opened his eyes and said nothing.

After a while, Song Chuji asked again: "Are you planning to marry her?"

This time, Song Shangyan remained silent and did not answer, and Song Chuji did not ask again.

From afternoon to evening, many people came to Song's house to pay New Year's greetings, so Li Man returned to her room.

However, she was not idle, but was counting her assets.

The pocket money that Song Shangyan gave her plus her salary from work... well, because of Li Man's extravagant spending, she can only save less than [-] yuan.

Although Li Man looked at it now, she felt that [-] was a lot, but compared to Ms. Chang's bag, it was very good. She felt that she might not be able to support Chang Yanzhi.

But the words have been released, and Li Man really thinks that this is also a very good method.

At least, it's a way out.

If something really happened in the future, then Li Man and Chang Yanzhi could continue to live, instead of just like in the dream, eating and waiting to die, and finally died.

So facing the only [-] yuan, Li Man felt that this was a good thing, at least the money really belonged to him.

And she doesn't have to pay the rent and mortgage. Although the house and car that Li Man currently owns are not earned by herself but given as gifts, at least they are paid in full.

It's just that there is still a long way to go in the future.

The sound insulation in the room is very good, Li Man couldn't hear the greetings downstairs, but she saw the cars coming in and out, and she knew that today must be very lively.

Different from Li Man's desolation, when facing friends in the mall, Chang Yanzhi can receive guests with Song Shangyan.

Other than that, it was Song Chuji.

As the heir of the Song family, she has already started contacting these people in the mall.

What will I say...

Probably other than the common language, it is a topic that she doesn't understand and doesn't like.

Li Man chatted with Jiang Xia and mentioned saving money.

Jiang Xia doesn't understand Li Man's sorrow.

Jiang Xia: As far as your mother's bags and jewelry are concerned, even if you sell them, you will still have money to spend. What's more, the Song family has not yet collapsed. Even if your mother broke up with Uncle Song, there will be a large amount of breakup fees. What are you worried about?

Li Man sighed.

She couldn't explain it to Jiang Xia, but these things really required her to think carefully.

Li Man: Don't think about these things, just assume that I really need to make money.

Jiang Xia: Then I have to hit you, maybe you really can't afford your mother.

Jiang Xia: Look at your salary, and then I suggest you print out Ms. Chang's monthly expenses, tsk tsk, you will understand the reality.

Li Man: ...

She puffed her cheeks and withdrew from the chat with Jiang Xia, feeling that this person was really annoying.

Li Man knew the truth, but, but don't hit her so quickly.

She has only just taken the first step in her struggle.

Li Man didn't feel bored in the room. After all, there was an internet, so she could surf the internet. Isn't this much more fun than going out?

It has to be said that Li Man came to the Song family with Chang Yanzhi, and after experiencing the feeling of getting rich, the most important point was that she didn't learn how to be bad because she didn't like going out to play.

If, like in other rich second-generation circles, the bars or clubs are booked out all the time, the speed of her depravity will skyrocket.

The phone vibrated, and Li Man looked down, and found that she had received a message from Song Chuji.

She was slightly taken aback.

According to calculations from previous years, Song Chuji should accompany Song Shangyan to meet and talk with other people at this time, how could he have time to send a message.

Song Chuji: Are you bored in the room?

Li Man: Not boring.

Li Man understood Song Chuji's reason for coming, and she felt a sense of being cared for, and her heart was warm.

A smile appeared on Li Man's lips, and then she replied: Don't worry about me, I'm having fun playing alone.

Song Chuji glanced down at the message from Li Man, and a smile flashed across his lips.

"Chuji is dating?"

Uncle Wang on the opposite side noticed Song Chuji's state and asked with a smile.

Song Shangyan was taken aback and looked over.

But at this time, Song Chuji had put away his emotions well.

She shook her head with proper etiquette: "No, I'm just sending messages to my friends."

Uncle Wang smiled: "Sure enough, he is still a young man, but this friend may treat you differently, right?"

Song Chuji lowered his eyes and smiled, but this time he did not deny it.

Song Shangyan had a thoughtful look on his face.

After seeing off the guests, he pondered for a while before asking Song Chuji.

"What is this scenario?"

Song Chuji thought about it, but did not hide it. "As you guessed."

Song Shangyan was not too surprised, but still raised his eyebrows slightly, "What kind of person is he?"

Song Chuji didn't intend to tell Li Man's identity, but some things could be revealed in advance.

She pursed her lips, "It's a girl."

Song Shangyan frowned, "What did you say?"

Song Chuji looked over quietly, there was no panic in his expression, but composure.

Such indifferent composure made Song Shangyan calm down and at the same time realized that Song Chuji was serious.

Since childhood, Song Chuji has been a relatively precocious child, so Song Shangyan can often see the other party's expression like this.

It's not that she didn't have a naive period, but it ended relatively quickly, and she just came to think and be stable earlier.

So Song Shangyan could easily judge that Song Chuji was serious, not just for fun, nor was it just a momentary curiosity.

It's true, she's in love with the same sex.

Song Shangyan rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little tricky.

Song Chuji asked at this moment: "Are you trying to convince me?"

"No." Song Shangyan denied it without hesitation. Looking at Song Chuji's face, he couldn't help but smile helplessly, "Besides, can I convince you?"

Song Chuji quietly shook his head.

Song Shangyan didn't bother him for too long.

"Isn't that all right? Besides, I've already said that no matter who you choose, as long as that person is what you like. Chuji, Dad actually doesn't have much requirements for the other person's background, the only one that can be called... That is, that person must be decent, will treat you well, love you, and will not harm you."

When Song Chuji heard the words, the tense cautiousness in his eyes slowly relaxed.

Thinking of Li Man, she lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, "She will."

Maybe it's not appropriate to say this, but...a stupid person like Li Man, even if he wanted to harm her, he couldn't harm her.

Song Shangyan relaxed a little and nodded, "That's good, I don't care whether it's a man or a woman."

Song Chuji asked: "What about the child?"

Song Shangyan: "What's the problem? Your cousins ​​have children from our Song family."

Song Chuji's eyes moved slightly: "I thought you would care about this matter."

Song Shangyan waved his hand, "I'm not that old-fashioned. Your uncle and I are a family, and our surname is Song. Besides, if you want to adopt a child, you must complete the legal procedures. At that time, the child will be the real one. In the sense of your child, of course I don't mind that."

Song Chuji looked at him quietly, then shifted his gaze after a while.

"Thank you, Dad."

Song Shangyan shook his head, "What stupid things are you talking about?"

After a pause, he asked again: "It's just your grandfather... But the problem shouldn't be too big, he shouldn't mind this kind of thing."

Moreover, Mr. Song is older, maybe when Song Chuji confirmed his relationship, Mr. Song might have already taken a step ahead, so this is not a big problem.

Song Chuji pursed his lips slightly and nodded.

"I'm just worried that grandpa is urging too hard."

Mr. Song is not only worried about the situation of the heir of the Song family who is engaged to him, but more, he is worried about the situation of Song Chuji's lover.

So when urging Song Chuji, he was even more eager.

I was afraid that I would go too early and not be able to help Song Chuji hold eyes.

Song Shangyan comforted: "You don't have to worry too much, your grandfather is not such a rigid person."

Song Chuji's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't say anything.

Her concern is not about gender, but about identity.

Song Shangyan asked again: "Who is that person you like? Do you want me to take a look for you?"

"No need." Song Chuji said softly, "...When the time is ripe, I will bring her here."

Song Shangyan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

It was the same in the second year of junior high school.

Although Mrs. Song passed away, the Song family and Mrs. Song's natal family also had some cooperation, and Song Chuji was here, so Li Man was still with Chang Yanzhi in the second year of junior high school.

But today they didn't have nowhere to go, Li Man followed Chang Yanzhi back to grandma's house.

Grandma lived in the countryside, and she didn't want to move, so she didn't move out with Chang Yanzhi.

It's not the first time Li Man has come back, but in the past... It's ridiculous to say that she doesn't want to come back. She always feels that the countryside will remind her of her poor life in the past, so she worries that she will be infected with "poor and bad luck".

But this is where she was born and raised.

Standing in the small county town, Li Man took a deep breath.

There are many places where she is wrong, and there are many places that she misses.

But luckily it's not too late.
