Bai Xiulan looked at her daughter. She wanted to hint that the girl's older sister wasn't completely heartless, but she held her tongue at the sight of her daughter's stern expression.
After a moment, she glanced out the window, then turned to whisper a reminder. "They're leaving tomorrow. Don't be so confrontational later, or you'll put your grandma in an awkward position.
Your brother-in-law invited your uncle and his family over this afternoon. He brought a lot of food and dragged your sister here to apologize. He should be bringing your maternal uncles over any minute now."
"Where's Grandma?"
"She's out back, probably still cooking with your aunt. I wanted to help, but your grandma told me not to, said I should stay in here and watch the child."
Xu Changqing was silent for a moment before nodding. "You go on. I'll rest in here for a bit. I'm a little tired today. Just let me lie down for a while."
"I'll just stay in here with you."
