Another day at dusk, Li Qinglian listlessly sat on the sofa, yawning while flipping through the TV channels, but not finding any programs to her satisfaction.
A rich scent of dinner wafted from the kitchen, and the woman instinctively raised her nose, her eyes involuntarily drifting in that direction.
Ever since a few days ago, when her younger brother jokingly called her "good-for-nothing," she had felt guilty about waiting eagerly on the couch at mealtime every day, behaving like a lazybones who wouldn't move a muscle. She wondered if she was failing to fulfill her responsibilities as a parent...
But guilt aside, by the next day, Li Qinglian still ended up sleeping in until the sun was high in the sky. Upon waking, she continued to nest on the sofa like a sprouting potato, either watching TV or DVDs, with no intention of getting up. Even her personal grooming required Xu Xiangyang to remind her several times.
