And today, both Wu Le and Du Qing happened to be off work, so they had moved bamboo beds to the yard to rest and enjoy the cool air.
When the Ruan Jiaojiao and the others arrived, the yard's gate was open. As Ruan Jie's front foot stepped into the yard, he heard Wu Le inside asking Du Qing, "Third sister-in-law, what do you think is going on with big sister-in-law not coming back at this time? Didn't she say she would be back before the school term started?"
Unaware of the people outside, Wu Le did not lower his voice, so the four people outside heard everything clearly.
Ruan Jie's steps faltered, and Ruan Jiaojiao also stopped behind him.
Du Qing did not immediately respond to Wu Le, and after a long pause, she finally said, "She will come back." Her tone was very firm, because there weren't many mothers in the world like Liao Zhaoji who could abandon their own children.
