Qian Yixiu stomped her feet in frustration.
Meanwhile, in the main hall, Qian Sangui was very happy entertaining the guests, constantly asking people to pour more tea, hand out candies, and serve sunflower seeds. For so many years, their New Year's had been quiet, with only a few relatives stopping by to wish them well. Today, however, one group of guests after another visited his house, which filled him with joy.
Lady Wu, worried that he would overexert himself and fall ill again, asked him to rest on the bed. He waved his hand dismissively, "I'm perfectly fine, not tired at all." Despite his protest, he supported himself only until lunch before finally lying down on the bed.
On the second day of the new year, Qian Xiang returned to her maternal home. Lady Wang didn't go back to her own maternal home because she was waiting for her daughter Qian Manwan. Only Qian Sigui's family and Qian Manchuan's family visited their wives' maternal homes.
