'Kindness?' Li Axiu scoffed internally.
Chen Xiuhua took a deep breath. Li Axiu had almost succeeded in driving a wedge between them.
In the kitchen, Li Chunlan patted Chen Xiuhua on the shoulder. "Li Axiu is no saint," she reminded her. "Don't let her sow discord. Eldest Sister-in-law is family."
"But her family and Eldest Sister-in-law's are joined by their children's marriage," Chen Xiuhua said resentfully.
"Second Sister-in-law, don't forget, Jing Er isn't Eldest Sister-in-law's biological son. Eldest Brother is the one who's related to them by marriage, not her," Li Chunlan said.
Chen Xiuhua couldn't refute her, so she complained, "When is Eldest Sister-in-law getting here?"
"Even when she gets here, she won't come into the kitchen to help," Li Chunlan said with a smile.
