"How have I grown? Mom's even older than me, and she already knows quite a few characters." Manbao felt that the reason her older sister was being bullied by her in-laws was that she wasn't smart enough, so her sister needed to become smarter.
Unfortunately, she might not be naturally intelligent, so the only option was to get smarter through learning.
Zhou Xi had no idea that Manbao had categorized her as a "dummy" and nodded with a smile, "Okay, then Manbao can teach me. Do you want to sleep with your sister tonight? There's plenty of space there."
"No," Manbao rejected firmly, "I want to sleep in my own little bed. I'm already an adult."
She had no intention of sleeping with anyone else; she didn't even sleep with her parents anymore.
Zhou Xi felt a bit regretful but didn't insist. After escorting Manbao back to the legitimate wife's quarters, she left.
