Ms. Liu gave her a sidelong glance and said, "It's just a month away, not that he's not coming back."
"Still, that's quite a long time. I'm already reluctant to part with him, not to mention they are just children."
Ms. Liu didn't know what to say to her daughter-in-law and squinted at the two children holding hands and parting with reluctance. She stood there for a while before moving on.
