Chapter 188 Nagging
Old Mrs. Lin lost not only her wife but her soldiers, and couldn't defeat Song Wei and Lin Zhen, so she took her anger out on her daughter-in-law.

Hence, there was no peace at the Lin family's dinner table, and everyone engaged in a battle of wits and courage while eating.

Old man Lin didn't have such concerns. He accurately picked up the chicken pieces with each chopstick and scooped the big chicken legs into his bowl.

Now he still doesn't care about anything and is thick-skinned enough to just eat meat.

After Song Wei and Lin Zhen returned, they were still happily preparing for dinner.

I don’t know if other people were affected, but Song Wei, who had already vented his anger, was not affected at all.

They didn't suffer any loss. Although they were scolded on the engagement day, she also threw Deng Chunhua and the others out and dismantled the doors and windows of the Lin family.

However, Aunt Xinghua and Grandma were really afraid that her mood would be affected. This was an engagement, and although it was not as important as marriage, most people would feel uncomfortable when such a commotion was made about something that concerned their lifelong happiness.

So great grandmother and several aunts told her some interesting things to comfort her, for fear that she would be in a bad mood.

But seeing that Song Wei was so happy, they felt that this girl was a cheerful person who didn't take troubles to heart, so they liked Song Zhiqing even more.

"That family is becoming increasingly unreliable."

Everyone finished their meal together in a lively atmosphere. Today's meal was very rich, with both meat and vegetables.

The vegetables were bought from off-season vegetable greenhouses, and some of the densely grown greens and lettuces were picked off.

Song Wei's tomatoes, eggplants, green peppers and other fruits are also ripe.

It can be said that this engagement meal is much more sumptuous than the wedding meals of many people in the village.

After dinner, we cleaned the room and washed the dishes. When we sat together by the fire, we couldn't help but talk about that shameless family.

Old Master Lin snorted, "You did a great job, Lin Zhen. You need to let them know how powerful you are. Otherwise, they will come to you every other day. How can a good girl like Song Zhiqing be willing to marry you when they give her so much trouble?"

Lin Zhen immediately said, "I know everything in my mind, and I will definitely not let them come to cause trouble again and again."

In order to make Old Mrs. Lin calm down, of course I have to poke her in the heart and make her feel pain.

But he couldn't be implicated in this matter, so he had been planning for so long, and it was time for him to take action.

Lin Zhen was thinking in his mind while peeling the melon seeds non-stop, and then handed the kernels to Song Wei to eat.

Seeing how good their relationship was, several elders also smiled.

After they had another meal in the afternoon, today's engagement was considered over and their relationship was legitimate. They just had to wait until they got married to live together openly.

The next day, many people came from the Youth League Institute and Lin Zhen's place.

The old ladies who love to eat melons went to chat with Song Wei.

"It's so cold. If you weren't engaged, we wouldn't want to come out. But we haven't been together and talked for such a long time, and we are really bored."

"That's not right. Congratulations, Song Zhiqing. When are you and Lin Zhen going to get married?"

"It hasn't been decided yet. I guess we'll have to wait until next year. It's not easy for my brother to take leave. He's my only relative now. I have to wait until he can take leave and come back to attend my wedding." The aunties all expressed their understanding.

"I heard that Old Man Lin's family went to make trouble again yesterday?"

The other little old ladies pricked up their ears.

Song Wei nodded: "Well, you also know that Lin Zhen is a retired soldier. His injury was sustained during a mission, so shouldn't the higher-ups give him some money to treat his leg?
He was already a battalion commander, and his superiors had arranged a job for him after he retired, but his leg hadn't healed yet, so he didn't go. Now they're targeting him, and they're asking him to give the job to Lin Youfu."

If Song Wei didn't tell this, Old Lady Lin would definitely spread it around. It would be better to just say it out loud instead of hiding it and letting many people find out about it out of curiosity.

Hearing this, the little old ladies were so shocked that they didn't know what expression to make.

"She is so bold! She even dares to covet the money for the treatment of the veterans' injuries. This person is really greedy and dares to do anything."

"Lin Youfu is a person of that character, and he is not even from the Lin family, but he still wants Lin Zhen to give up his job to him. Is there anything wrong with Old Mrs. Lin's brain?"

"It turns out there really is a job after retiring from the military. I've heard about this before, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"Not everyone can get a job. There are so many soldiers, and the employees are so scarce. How can we arrange a job for just any discharged soldier?"

"I also heard that Lin Zhen tore down all the doors and windows of that family? Well done!"

They get along well with Song Wei because they have similar personalities. Although they have some shortcomings such as being stingy, greedy, and fond of taking advantage of others, there is no problem with their personalities overall.

"To be honest, when I was young, I really wanted to tear down my mother-in-law's house. I was really tortured by her at that time. Fortunately, the old lady died early."

Naturally, they started talking about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Afterwards, everyone talked about all the gossip that had accumulated in recent times.

For example, on Xu Lai Di's side, an old lady said, "You don't know how lively the Liu family is right now. Old Lady Liu is not an easy person to deal with, and Xu Zhiqing is not someone you can easily mess with. It hasn't been long since she got married, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have already had several fights."

"Lady Liu scolded Xu Zhiqing for being lazy and greedy every day in the yard. She watched her old hen lay eggs every day, and took the eggs home to cook and eat. It was really lively, but too lively. It was noisy in the middle of the night. It was a bit miserable to live near their house."

"By the way, tell Su Zhiqing to be careful. The Luo family is probably going to ask her to go back again."

The old ladies all looked at Su Fang with sympathy and pity: "After Su Fang got married, she served them inside and outside the house. They are not used to you being away. I heard from people who have been to their house that the house is smelly and messy. No one in the family washes their clothes, and the cooking of old lady Luo is terrible..."

Simply put, after Su Fang got married, she spoiled the family's appetites, and they were not able to adapt to this person's sudden departure.

They felt a little guilty before, and the shock they had received from seeing Song Wei killing a wild boar with his bare hands was too great, so they did not dare to confront Song Wei.

But this guilty fear is only limited. Now that life is difficult, I will definitely find a way to get Su Fang back.

Su Fang smiled softly: "Thank you for your concern, ladies, but I am much better now, so I am not afraid."

Her body still looked very thin, but she did look much healthier than before. She had gained some flesh on her face and her skin was rosy.

The ladies chatted about gossip, ate wedding candies and melon seeds, and left contentedly.
