Old Madam Huo was reluctant to let them go, but she also knew that He Tiantian's mother was about to give birth and had no one to take care of her, which made her worried.
So, Old Madam Huo packed up some things, instructed Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian to take them, and then took out a silver longevity lock, saying, "Tiantian, your mother is about to give birth, and the journey is long. We old bones can't make the trip, but this is for your future brother or sister. I hope you will accept it."
He Tiantian took it, smiled, and said, "Thank you, Grandma."
Since the gift was for her brother or sister, He Tiantian couldn't refuse.
It was an exchange of favors between the two families; when the elder sister-in-law gave birth, Dad and Mom could also send a gift in return.
Although Huo Yingjie was reluctant to leave the two elders, he felt no sense of belonging to Yanjing, even preferring Nan City and Qijia Village!
