In the evening, Xu Fan told two bedtime stories and, not without difficulty, eventually lulled Tongtong to sleep.
Then he carried Tongtong back to her little bed before returning to the big bed to snuggle up with Xu Yixue.
"By the way, Xue'er, tomorrow we need to make a trip to the Zhang Family and meet with my mother's relatives—the ones on her side, like my great grandfather, uncles…" Xu Fan said.
Xu Yixue said, "Isn't that pretty normal? We're getting married, so of course we should invite your great grandfather and the others. But looking at you, you don't seem very happy. What's wrong?"
Xu Fan sighed and then told Xu Yixue about the years of the Zhang Family kicking them while they were down.
After listening to Xu Fan's story, Xu Yixue couldn't help but feel a surge of indignation on his behalf.
