Inside the room, Li Hongjun, Old Man Li, and Liu Jianjun—all three grown men—just sat in silence on the kang bed.
Since the moment the second brother entered the room and greeted his father, he had been sitting motionless, without even glancing at Li Xianghe, making her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.
"How can Big Sister be so slow? Second Brother has been back for so long, and the meal isn't ready yet," Li Xianghe couldn't hold back and said, trying to make small talk.
Liu Jianjun, considering all the money and effort his family had already contributed, took an annoyed glance at this chatty niece by marriage, though as the host, he bit his tongue and didn't say anything.
Old Man Li leisurely suggested, "Xianghe, why don't you go and see if your sister needs any help?"
Of course, Li Xianghe didn't want to go. Why should she have to work at her in-laws' house and still have to work when she comes back to her parents' house?
She wouldn't go.
