After dispersing from the Song Family, Tian Lili actually wanted to run over to see them but was t with another cold look from Granny Zhao. Tian Lili had no choice but to suppress her longing for her boyfriend and sullenly returned to Granny Zhao’s side.
Before leaving, Mrs. Song kept inviting Tian Lili to co over to the Song Family for a al when she was free, to let the aunt cook her favorite squirrel fish. Tian Lili nodded her head like a pecking chicken, her face blooming into a smile, wishing she could go to the Song Family for a al right away. Granny Zhao watched with a belly full of fire.
After returning ho, Granny Zhao lambasted Tian Lili.
"Do you have any sense of modesty like a young lady should? At the re beckoning of soone, you run over like a slavering dog. No, you’re not even as good as a slavering dog; at least a dog needs a bone to be tempted!"
Tian Lili was scolded to the point of trembling fear and didn’t dare retort. Xu Qianwen couldn’t listen anymore and defended her daughter: "Mama, don’t scold Lili so harshly. Our Lili genuinely likes Xiao Wei, that’s why she behaves like this. Besides, the partner Lili has found is truly exceptional!"
Granny Zhao was already displeased with Xu Qianwen and seized the opportunity to yell at her.
"Genuinely likes him? So genuine like ans losing all sense of sha? I think if today I don’t go with you, tomorrow you, Xu Qianwen, would already marry Lili off!"
Sisi deeply agreed. Given the lovestruck appearance of mother and daughter Xu Qianwen, it was very possible this could happen.
Xu Qianwen was not convinced. Song Xiaowei was such a dashing young man; even she, a middle-aged woman, felt her heart racing at the sight of him. Now that he has taken a liking to Lili, of course she had to seize the ti to settle the marriage, lest there be any more delays!
But she only dared to complain in her heart, as countering Granny Zhao to her face would be unthinkable. It must be said, Tian Aiguo’s taste in picking a wife wasn’t great, but in managing his wife, he was quite successful.
Seeing Xu Qianwen’s unconcerned expression, Granny Zhao was furious. Talking to such a pig-headed woman was pointless.
"Alright, you go back to Inner Mongolia tomorrow. Lili’s matter will be decided by and your Daddy."
Xu Qianwen was reluctant to go back and said with a smile: "Mama, I haven’t even said a few words to Xiao Wei yet!"
"What’s there to talk about? Is it you or Lili dating Song Xiaowei? Haven’t you t today? Hurry back and don’t embarrass yourself here anymore."
Granny Zhao’s words were unsympathetic and blunt. Xu Qianwen’s face turned red with sha but she didn’t dare say more and obediently agreed.
That night, Granny Zhao told the Old Man about the behavior of Xu Qianwen and her daughter: "You didn’t see today, how eager that mother and daughter were, it was downright humiliating. People who don’t know any better would think that this is how Tian Family’s girls behave! Fortunately, I brought Ah Nan with today, so we didn’t lose all face for the Tian Family."
The Old Man frowned deeply upon hearing this, dismayed that Lili could be so shaless. It was a disgrace. He said to Granny Zhao: "Let Xu Qianwen leave tomorrow, and you keep a tight leash on Lili, so she won’t do any more embarrassing things!"
The Old Man seed to think of sothing and frowned even more, "You don’t think that Lili would do anything shaful, do you?"
Granny Zhao also thought of this, and was so alard she jumped up, "I had not thought of that! I must go ask. If she really did sothing that disgraceful, I will not spare her!"
Sisi had just coaxed Du Du to sleep when she heard curses and crying from next door. She quickly covered Du Du with a thin blanket, put on a coat, and went to see.
Tian Lili was sobbing with intermittent tears, and Granny Zhao had a very ugly look on her face, staring intently at Tian Lili. Xu Qianwen also looked quite upset.
What happened?
Sisi hurried over to whisper to Granny Zhao, who huffed and said, "Ah Nan, can you believe what this shaless girl did? She’s only known the guy for a month, and she’s already sleeping over at his place. Ay, my old face is completely thrown away. I even told the Song Family today to let the kids spend more ti together, who knows how they’re laughing at behind my back!"
Sisi was shocked too, sleeping over at Song Xiaowei’s house? It couldn’t be what she was thinking, could it?
Could it be that the Song Family was in a rush to push for a shotgun wedding?
Sisi instinctively glanced at Tian Lili’s belly. Granny Zhao noticed Sisi’s gaze and, of course, thought of the sa thing, and imdiately demanded, "Tell the truth, have you done ’that’ with Song Xiaowei?"
Tian Lili answered through tears, "Really, I haven’t. Xiaowei respects very much; he hasn’t even held my hand."
Sisi was taken aback when she heard this. They haven’t even held hands?
So innocent?
That Song Xiaowei doesn’t seem like such an innocent young man, does he?
"Sister Lili, did you and Song Xiaowei do any other intimate things?" Sisi blurted out the question, but as soon as the words escaped her lips, she regretted it, wishing she could slap her own mouth.
In front of Granny Zhao, Tian Lili was like a kitten, but facing Sisi, she could turn into a tiger in a minute! She imdiately put on a grim face.
Xu Qianwen was not pleased and said with a stern face, "Ah Nan, what do you an by that? Don’t you trust Lili?"
Sisi quickly waved her hands and said, "Third Aunt, you’ve misunderstood, I’m just asking because I’m worried Sister Lili doesn’t realize if she’s been taken advantage of!"
Granny Zhao thought it made sense and urged Tian Lili to answer Sisi’s question promptly. Tian Lili shot a glare at Sisi but obediently responded.
"Xiao Wei respects very much; he hasn’t even touched my hand. Sotis, if I touch him, he even gets all shy," Tian Lili bashfully answered.
Xu Qianwen smiled proudly, "I knew Xiao Wei is a good kid. Nowadays, it’s rare to find such a decent young man!"
Granny Zhao was quite satisfied too. Upon learning that her granddaughter had not done anything foolish, she was relieved. However, she still lectured Tian Lili for a while, implying that she should maintain the dignity of a young lady and not do anything that would disgrace the family’s honor.
The next day, under Granny Zhao’s cold look, Xu Qianwen obediently returned to Inner Mongolia. Tian Lili was under strict supervision by Granny Zhao, who only allowed her to visit the Song Family once or twice a week and instructed her to return ho imdiately after als.
Although Tian Lili was dissatisfied, she obediently complied under Granny Zhao’s tyranny, not daring to object.
Later, Sisi found ti to ask Tian Lili about so things, mainly about what she and Song Xiaowei did when they went out on dates.
Tian Lili, probably wanting to show off in front of Sisi, poured out everything she and Song Xiaowei did together without pausing for breath.
In reality, the dating activities of the young people in the 1980s were limited to watching movies, eating out, strolling in parks, cruising the streets, hiking, etc., nothing as varied as in later generations.
But the more Sisi listened, the more sothing seed off. Wasn’t it supposed to be dates between lovers?
Why was there always a third person with Tian Lili and Song Xiaowei?
