Su Qing watched as her brother-in-law left before coming over. "Big Sister, are you letting our brother-in-law leave just like that? It's already dark, and it's almost time for dinner. You should have asked him and his friends to stay for dinner before leaving."
"There was no need."
"But from the introduction just now, one of them is our brother-in-law's cousin. That's a close relative. It's the first time since any relative of his has visited from his hometown. If we don't treat him well, won't he be unhappy?"
Su Qing was mild-mannered and highly conscious of one's etiquette, and it showed in how she did not want Zhou Hengyang to lose face by not receiving a warm welcome from his wife's family.
"We can't let them leave without even a glass of water - that would be too impolite."
"It's fine. You don't have to worry. Your brother-in-law is estranged from his family."
