Early the next morning, just after Zhulan's family finished breakfast, Wang Laosi came by to deliver red boiled eggs and invited the Zhou family to the third-day washing celebration.
Zhulan would've preferred having nothing to do with Wang Laosi and directly refused to attend, "We have no ties, so we'll not be attending your celebration tomorrow."
Zhulan didn't even bother to make up an excuse, fearing that if she gave Wang Laosi any leeway to overthink, it would be better to simply reject any association outright.
Wang Laosi, who finally had his moment to crow, wanted to invite everyone who had looked down on him, including the Zhou family, with whom he had issues. Yet he dared not offend them. He wasn't content with the Zhou family missing out on his glory. His gaze settled on Zhou Chang Yi, "Chang Yi, even though we've drifted apart, we've had some past dealings. I've finally had a son, and you should at least come over to celebrate!"
