Chapter 186 Staying Overnight
"It's not just Miss Song. Take you for example. If you find a family that suits your heart in the future, you can get married. I will prepare a dowry for you."

Zhou didn't expect Chen to suddenly mention her. She was stunned for a moment, then said, "What are you talking about, mother? I won't remarry."

"Just now I was talking about Madam Song. Now that you are here, aren't you also stubborn?" Chen scolded, "It's not shameful to remarry. I see that you are not a person who sticks to the world. Why are you like those petty people now?"

"Mrs. Song has no children or parents-in-law, but I am different. I have parents and children, so I have something to look forward to in the future." Zhou smiled and said, "Mother, you are talking about my remarriage now. Do you think I eat too much at home and want to kick me out as soon as possible to save some food?"

"What are you talking about, kid? I was just thinking..."

"Don't think about anything, mother. Just live your life well." Zhou helped Chen walk into the inner room. "It's getting late now. Mother, you should go to bed early."

Birth, aging, illness and death are unpredictable. Today there is peace, tomorrow there is war. You may die one day. Why think so much?

Song arrived at the street and wandered aimlessly for a while before finding herself at the entrance of Xinghua Lane.

After thinking for a moment, Song walked to the door of Xia Mingyue's house.

After hesitating for a long time, Song raised her hand and touched the door knocker.

"Who's outside?" Xia Mingyue asked while holding a lantern.

"Madam Xia, it's me." Song replied.

Xia Mingyue opened the door and asked, "Why is Madam Song here at this time?"

After that, seeing that Song's face was full of hesitation and confusion, he said, "Come in and talk first."

The two of them entered the main room together.

"Madam Xia, I am really sorry to bother you at this time, but I really have no choice but to ask you for the time being."

Song was embarrassed, "I want to stay at Madam Xia's house tonight..."

Are you here to stay for the night?

Xia Mingyue was a little surprised, but looking at Song's red eyes, she said, "There are two kangs in Zhuguo's room, and we have quilts and mattresses ready at home. Madam Song can just move in. If Madam Song needs it, I'd be willing to stay for a while longer."

Since the Song family is here to stay, they cannot go home.

She and the Song company have an employment relationship. In Xia Mingyue's view, helping employees solve certain difficulties is what she, as an employer, should do.

Song didn't expect Xia Mingyue to agree so straightforwardly, and she didn't expect Xia Mingyue to take the initiative to invite him to stay for a while. His heart was suddenly filled with warmth, and he hurriedly thanked her, "Thank you, Madam Xia, thank you, Madam Xia."

"I may have to bother Madam Xia for a while..." Song's face was full of shame and she sighed.

"This is your private matter. Logically, I shouldn't ask too much about it. But I see that you, Madam Song, seem to have encountered something. If this is the case, you might as well tell us about it. Maybe we can help you, Madam Song." Xia Mingyue said.

"I……"

Song paused and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Both Zhou and Chen felt that she was biased and that what she was thinking was wrong.

I wonder if Lady Xia is like this too...

Seeing that Song was hesitant to speak, Xia Mingyue understood, "It's okay, it's not too late to speak when Madam Song wants to, but there is only one thing, Madam Song can do things more freely and don't care too much about other people's thoughts or opinions."

Just this afternoon, she heard from Jiang Zhuguo that someone wanted to propose marriage to Song. Seeing Song's appearance, Xia Mingyue guessed that her current predicament was probably related to the proposal. In order to prevent Song from getting stuck in a dead end, Xia Mingyue tried to persuade her indirectly.

When Song heard what Xia Mingyue said, her mind was immediately moved, and she asked, "Madam Xia, do you think a widow must remarry?"

really……

Xia Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled, "In my opinion, it is not necessary. If she has hands and feet and can make a living, she does not need to remarry to maintain her life. Of course, this is just my own idea. Whether she remarries or not depends on herself."

"If you want to remarry, then marry, and don't care about other people's eyes and comments. If you don't want to remarry and just want to live alone, then don't marry, and don't care about other people's eyes and opinions."

"After all, you live your life by yourself, and everyone's situation is different. Just live your own life. There is no need to make everyone the same. Everyone is different anyway."

If you don't want to get married, then don't get married.

After Song repeated these words, the light in her originally dim and turbid eyes slowly brightened up again.

It was as if the house that was about to collapse was completely supported again by a large pillar, and the originally shaky building suddenly became towering.

Song felt like she had seen the light again and nodded heavily, "Madam Xia, I'll take note."

"Since you've remembered it, you might as well be tougher." Xia Mingyue said with a smile, "Otherwise, others may not know your true intentions."

In this era, in the eyes of most people, women cannot survive independently without men, so it is inevitable for them to get married if there is a suitable match.

This is a matter of course, so even if you say no, others will think that you are just shy and want to refuse.

If you don't take a firm stance, there will be more trouble.

Mrs. Song was stunned.

After she rejected Madam You, Liu Tiezhu came again. Even after she rejected him again, Liu Tiezhu went to find Li Shuisheng to continue talking about the matter.

This is probably directly related to her not-so-strong attitude.

"I know what to do." Song nodded.

"Yeah." Xia Mingyue also nodded, and then said, "In fact, no matter what Madam Song wants to do, as long as she still works for my Xiaji, my Xiaji will definitely make sure Madam Song has enough food to eat."

When Song heard this, a little mist rose in her eyes, "Thank you, Madam Xia."

It’s true, thank you Madam Xia.

It gave her direction and confidence, and she knew what to do.

Seeing that Song was in high spirits at this moment, not at all as decadent and listless as when she came, Xia Mingyue knew that she had probably figured out her own problems, and she felt relieved, "It's getting late, go to bed early."

"Madam Xia, you should also rest early."

Here, after Jiang Zhuguo learned that Song would stay overnight for a few days, he helped Song make the bed and prepared toiletries.

"Thank you, Zhuguo." Song thanked him.

"Madam Song, you don't have to be polite to me." Jiang Zhuguo smiled, "Since Sister Xia has spoken, Madam Song should live here peacefully for the next few days and just treat this place as your own home. Don't be polite, otherwise Sister Xia will be uncomfortable first."

"Okay." Song responded repeatedly.
