Grandma Fang's heart sank suddenly, and she hurriedly said, "Qinqin forced it on me, and I didn't dare to give the recipe to Hui Niang, so I came back to discuss it with you." Her voice grew softer as she spoke. She knew she shouldn't have taken it, but we're all family after all. We can't just have superficial relations; by being close and affectionate, we can bring prosperity and good fortune to the family.
"You really are confused! Hui Niang has had an easy life, everything always going her way. Her own family caters to her, and now everyone else should too!? We haven't interacted for so many years, Qinqin and the others have never heard about their little aunt from when they were young until now. Even if they're relatives, they're still distant! There's no real connection of kinship, yet she has all these expectations. Qinqin doesn't owe her anything, why should she indulge her!?" Old Scholar Fang berated Grandma Fang angrily.
