The straw bag beauty is on the rise

Grandpa and grandma live in a small one-story house. Although it looks small, it has all the necessary facilities such as bedroom, living room and kitchen.

Chang Yanzhi did not ask the driver to drive, but drove Li Man over by herself.

After arriving at the place, she directed Li Man to take down the gift.

The two knocked on the door with "big bags and small bags", and Li Man also saw the two old people whose memory was a bit vague.

"Rouge and Manman are here, come on, hurry up and sit in the room, really, what else do you bring?"

Li Man blinked, not able to adapt to such enthusiasm, smiled a little embarrassedly, then lowered her head and followed Chang Yanzhi into the room.

After entering the room, she asked, "Grandma, where should I put this present?"

Grandma: "Just put it next to the cabinet. What gifts do you bring? Really, I will bring it back when I go back."

This Li Man didn't dare to answer.

She hasn't been back for a year, and her impression of the two old people has actually faded.At this moment, Li Man was putting things away and was curious. Could it be... have the two old people been so eager all this time?

Although Li Man couldn't say that she wasn't used to it, she was more or less embarrassed.

Fortunately, she was not the main "target", and Chang Yanzhi received most of the greetings.

Li Man followed Chang Yanzhi as quietly as a chicken, sitting in a well-behaved manner, and looked here curiously.

The two old men had no sons, only two daughters.

Although the two daughters are married, they can both be taken over to live there. It's just that the old man doesn't want to leave the place where he has lived for many years, and he doesn't like the fast pace of the city, so he shirks them all.

Li Man blinked, with a hint of innocent inquiry in her expression.

Also a little reflection.

She seems...really, not very filial.

Also, in the dream she had, what was the situation of the two old people?

Li Man couldn't remember.

Not long after, my aunt also arrived.

As Chang Yanzhi's sister, she looks as beautiful as Chang Yanzhi, but she lacks an innocent and innocent charm, so she doesn't look as beautiful as Chang Yanzhi.

Chang Feicui glanced at Chang Yanzhi, but she didn't see enthusiasm.

Li Man remembered that the relationship between Auntie and Chang Yanzhi was not good.

In the final analysis...it was because after Chang Yanzhi took Li Man to the Song family, she seldom came back.

Li Man pursed her lips, feeling a little guilty.

The two old men took their youngest daughter and son-in-law to sit down and chat, and the son-in-law tried to help with the cooking.

Chang Feicui glanced at her with indifference and sarcasm, "Why didn't you see your family?"

Chang Yanzhi's expression froze, she looked away, and did not reply to her words.

Seeing this, grandma quickly quarreled.

Li Man knew why Auntie asked such a question...

Because as a daughter who has already "goed out", returning to her natal home for the New Year in the second day of junior high school is actually alone...

Li Man bit her lip lightly.

What can I say about this matter, because it is indeed, a little, hard to say.

Do you want Song Shangyan to stop going to Mrs. Song's house?That's obviously not appropriate.After all, Song Shangyan's father-in-law and mother-in-law are not here.

Li Man frowned, and began to vaguely feel that Song Shangyan was not good.

If it was before, she could only see the wealth brought by Song Shangyan and the interests of the Song family, and felt that she and her mother lived a good life with Song Shangyan, and nothing could be more important than this.

But now, she can feel the embarrassment of Chang Rouge's identity more clearly, especially in the atmosphere of Chinese New Year.

The corners of Li Man's lips were tightly pursed.

Chang Rouge is like this...

It's like an outside room without a name or a division.

At this time, grandma's words interrupted Li Man's thinking.

"We Manman are thinking about some major life event? Look at this frowning look, it's very serious."

Li Man came back to her senses and smiled at her grandma, "It's okay, I didn't think about anything."

Grandma: "Manman is so big, it's time to find someone."

When mentioning this matter, Li Man stiffened, but Chang Yanzhi got excited.

She smiled: "That's right, Manman is so beautiful now, why worry about not being able to find her fiancé?"

Li Man bowed her head silently, and buckled her toes.

"Mom..." She tried to stop her weakly, but obviously, it was of no avail.

The corners of Chang Rouzhi's lips curled up: "It's not that I'm exaggerating, it's that people like our Manman must be carefully selected."

At this time, Chang Feicui sneered: "It is really necessary to choose carefully, otherwise, if you find a partner, you can only fall in love and not get married. What's the point of that?"

The irony in this sentence was so obvious that Chang Yanzhi's expression changed instantly.

"you!"

Seeing this, Li Man quickly took Chang Yanzhi's arm: "Mom, mom—it's Chinese New Year, don't talk about it, it's better, it's better..."

Her eyes rolled and she got an idea: "Why don't we get some chickens for grandma's house!"

Chang Rouge: ...

"what?"

This time grandma didn't bother to persuade the fight, but looked over.

Li Man coughed softly: "You see, grandma lives in the county town, and she doesn't have much activity on weekdays, and she doesn't have any land to take care of. Although there is a monthly subsidy and the living expenses remitted by you and your aunt, but for the two For old people, it’s more or less boring.”

"So I thought, how about getting a few chickens for grandma to raise? After growing big hens in the future, they can be sold in the market. Even if they don't sell them, raising them is still fun."

Chang Yanzhi's thoughts fell into Li Man's words, she rolled her eyes, "What kind of bad idea did you think, your grandparents are so old, do you want them to feed the chickens every day?"

Li Man shrank her head.

Regardless of whether the method is bad or not, it's good to keep Chang Yanzhi from quarreling first.

Because... She began to feel in her heart that what auntie said was right.

However, at this time, grandma said: "I think this is good."

"mom?"

"Your dad and I are bored on weekdays. It's good to get a few chicks. When they grow up, they will be brought to the market to sell."

"..."

Chang Yanzhi hesitantly withdrew her dissuading words, "Well, that's fine, I'll get you some later."

But being interrupted like this, my aunt didn't say anything more.

The harmonious atmosphere continued until the meal was over.

Then the two old men wanted to give Li Man some New Year's money, so Li Man ran out immediately in fright.

She's already working, so of course I'm embarrassed to ask for this.

She met the child of her aunt's family outside, a little boy in junior high school.

When he saw Li Man, he just glanced at her and didn't come over.

Li Man squatted aside and looked at him, feeling that the little kid was quite interesting.

She called out to him, but he didn't answer.

Li Man: "I'll give you lucky money, do you want it?"

Then, Li Man clearly saw the other party roll his eyes.

Li Man:?

This is, being despised?

Li Man puffed her cheeks, watched the other party leave, and couldn't help sharing this with Song Chuji.

The Tang family at this time was also Mrs. Song's natal family.

Song Chuji sat on the other side, felt the vibration of the phone, and guessed in his heart who sent the message, so he took out the phone without the slightest hesitation.

After seeing Li Man's news, she lowered her eyes and smiled slightly.

Then Song Chuji got up, avoided other people and came to a remote place, and called Li Man.

Li Man was a little surprised when he received the call, "Hey, why did you call?"

Song Chuji slightly lowered his eyes.

In fact, it was also the first time for her to do this kind of thing...without much thinking, completely controlled by instinct and intuition.

However, not annoying.

Song Chuji said: "If I say it, it's because I miss you..."

Li Man blinked, her earlobes turned red inexplicably.

"Ah, ah? Miss me? But, but we don't... see each other basically every day."

Hearing Li Man's flustered and shy but not disgusted voice, Song Chuji's eyes softened, and his heart relaxed a lot.

"It's still different," she said.

Li Man grabbed her clothes and didn't dare to ask further, what was the difference.

Song Chuji was not in a hurry, but changed the subject.

"You give him a red envelope, but he doesn't want it?"

When this matter was mentioned, Li Man immediately had the idea of ​​complaining.

She said angrily, "Yes! This brat, brat! You know, when he looked over, he seemed to be questioning and disdaining me, as if he thought I couldn't post it!"

Song Chuji smiled lowly, "You can throw the money in front of him."

Li Man: "I didn't bring any cash, I have to transfer money through WeChat to send red envelopes, but he doesn't even come over, so I can't just go over and transfer money to him, it looks like I'm so cute."

Song Chuji smiled lightly.

The two of them chatted for a while.

When Li Man heard someone shouting from her side, she immediately said: "Ah, is someone calling you? Go over quickly."

Song Chuji's voice was soft: "It's fine."

Li Man suddenly felt embarrassed.

If it's okay on weekdays, it's okay for her to chat with Song Chuji like this, but after all, it's not good to take up the other party's time by yourself.

So Li Man hurriedly said: "I have something to do, you can go there."

Song Chuji responded, "Okay, see you at home then."

Li Man was stunned: "Ah... good."

After hanging up the phone, she looked at the darkened phone screen, a little dazed.

Although she is not someone who likes to pick out words, what Song Chuji said just now made her think a little more.

She said "go home".

Maybe the Song family used to be Song Chuji's home, but since Li Man and Chang Yanzhi passed away, Song Chuji moved out, so maybe he didn't think it was her home.

But now, she actually took the initiative to mention the word "go home".

Li Man's eyelids moved.

Could it be that Song Chuji has come out and looked away?

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Li Man, it means that she no longer has to worry about Song Chuji's retaliation, let alone worry about the future.

From now on, she doesn't need to gain Song Chuji's favor, she just needs to live with Chang Yanzhi honestly, and save money for a rainy day.

That's a good thing, but...

Li Man frowned, realizing that she really couldn't be happy.

Is she sick?Why don't you feel happy if you don't have to brush your favor?

Li Man didn't think about the result until he went back.

But she put this matter aside and concentrated on Chang Rouge's affairs.

On the way back, Chang Yanzhi's complexion was not good, probably because she was annoyed by Chang Feicui.

Li Man glanced at his mother's face, and then whispered: "Mom, although my aunt's words are not pleasant, do you feel that what she said is actually a little bit right?"

Chang Yanzhi: "Oh, would I not know?"

Li Man: "Then what do you think?"

Chang Yanzhi was silent for a while, and then asked Li Man: "What choice do you think I have now?"

Li Man was stunned.

Chang Yanzhi: "Do you think that even if Shang Yan doesn't give me the promise and status, I can just choose to leave him?"

Li Man's lips moved, but she couldn't say the word "yes".

In the final analysis, it was because her current property was unable to satisfy Chang Yanzhi's material desires without any scruples.

Maybe it's okay to feed her... ok.

To be honest, Li Man really has no obsession with the Song family now, if Chang Yanzhi wants to leave by herself, then Li Man will definitely go with her.

but……

Li Man bit her lip, a little embarrassed: "Then what do you think?"

Chang Yanzhi said: "I have been with Shang Yan for so many years. Whether it is nostalgia, dare not leave, or sunk cost, in short, I will not leave easily. At least, I will not leave in Shang Yan. Strictly leave before burnout."

Li Man pursed her lips and listened quietly.

Chang Yanzhi: "I've worked hard for so long, and the past few years are not bad. Besides, even if I'm not Mrs. Song, don't I still have a good time now?"

Chang Rouzhi did not force herself to say this.

If she was still young, she might leave Song Shangyan in a moment of anger.

But now she is not.

And she already has a lot of material desires, and she clearly knows what she wants.

Mrs. Song's title is of course important, but it is not the first.

Or, compared with this, Chang Rouge has something more regressive.

That's life.

She had to consider her quality of life after leaving the Song family, and Li Man's affairs and so on.

So this is one of the reasons why Chang Rouge can endure for so long.

Li Man looked out the window, a little confused.

"Anyway, no matter what, I support you...it's mom. I hope you think about it clearly. It's because you like and want this kind of life, not because of other reasons."

Chang Yanzhi chuckled, "How can people be so simple."

People are complicated, and what people want is of course also complicated.

Chang Yanzhi did not bring up this topic again.

But there is one thing Li Man wants to understand, this does not conflict with one thing, that is Father Song's health.

If Song Shangyan continues like this, maybe Chang Yanzhi may never have a status, but her good life is guaranteed.

Even if the family property is passed on to Song Chuji in the future, with Song Shangyan's own assets, he can easily support Chang Yanzhi.

But if Song Shangyan died unexpectedly, after the Song family was inherited by Song Chuji, Song Chuji would not be responsible for raising Chang Yanzhi.

In addition, Chang Yanzhi has no status and no inheritance, so it is not surprising what kind of life she will lead.

However, there is one thing that is different from the dream.

One is that Song Chuji will not take revenge, and the other is that there is still Li Man as a way out.

Thinking of this, Li Man was somewhat relieved.

"Well, then you should pay more attention to Uncle Song's body."

Chang Yanzhi felt weird, "Why are you so worried about his body?"

Li Man was confident and confident: "Uncle Song is in good health, so he can keep spending money for you."

"..."

The corner of Chang Yanzhi's mouth twitched, but she couldn't say anything to refute. In the end, she could only roll her eyes and skip this topic.

The annual holidays passed by in a flash, and soon it was time to go to work.

This is undoubtedly painful, but Li Man can only be strong and get up.

After returning to the office, she saw Song Chuji sitting there again.

Everything seems to be back to normal.

Inexplicably, Li Man felt relieved, and when Song Chuji's eyes met, she smiled at him.

Song Chuji bent his lower lip, and his heart was also soft.

"On the first day, are you still used to it?"

Li Man lazily shook her head, "Of course I'm not used to it, but there's nothing I can do about it, that's how workers should be."

"Besides, you seem to be here earlier than me."

Song Chuji nodded: "I have something to do."

Li Man sighed: "It's hard work for you."

Song Chuji smiled: "It's okay, I'm used to it."

Li Man blinked: "Then is there anything I can do for you?"

Song Chuji glanced at her, didn't shy away from it, but pointed to the material next to her: "It needs to be copied."

Li Man gestured: "Okay."

While copying, she ran into Ding Wangxue.

The other party shared with Li Man like a gossip: "Do you know that Manager Song is going to be promoted?"

Li Man blinked: "I don't know."

She has just arrived, how could she know the news.

Ding Wangxue said: "I also heard from our team leader that after a while, Manager Song will be promoted."

"Manager Song is really amazing...Although she has something to do with it, her own strength is really good. She didn't go through the back door, but relied on her own strength to get promoted."

Li Man blinked: "Ah..."

She was not surprised by Song Chuji's promotion, and was also happy for him.

But there is one thing Li Man needs to think about.

That means Song Chuji is gone, what about her?

After all, the secretary of an ordinary manager and the secretary of the chairman, if you think about it with your brain, you know that they are definitely not at the same level, right?

Li Man is not yet optimistic enough to think that she can rise up with Song Chuji.

So... Does that mean that she is going to be separated from Song Chuji?

Thinking of this, Li Man's heart sank and she was not happy.

She lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, thinking about it while copying the materials.

It is true that Li Man's original purpose has been achieved, so whether Song Chuji is here or gone, it has little to do with her.

Moreover, Li Man can also exercise himself by staying in this position.

but……

Too bad, before Song Chuji left, she already missed him a little.

I don't know if it's because of the fledgling plot, but Li Man is very dependent on Song Chuji.

Going back with the information in hand, Li Man didn't ask about this immediately, mainly because she was a little confused and vaguely aware that there was something wrong with her thinking.

He didn't dare to face Song Chuji, nor did he dare to ask this question.

So after putting the documents back, Li Man returned to her office.

She also has some reports to do now, but they are not complicated, and it is difficult for her to complete independently without Song Chuji's help.

But at this moment Li Man couldn't calm down at all.

After a while, she heard someone knock on the door.

Song Chuji stood outside and looked over: "Li Man, come here."
