"Xiruo, I see you're growing some vegetables and stuff on your own?" Mrs. Xia asked.
"Just some trifles I play around with."
"How about this, I'll clear out a room specifically for you to use. It's the room Xingzhi used to tinker with his little projects, but he's long since abandoned it. It's not that I'm worried you'll cause any problems in your room; having a dedicated space is simply more convenient."
Xiruo understood her meaning and thanked her, "Then thank you, elder sister-in-law."
"It's nothing, we're all family." Mrs. Xia then turned to Jiang Zhe, "Xiaozhe?"
"Aunt," Jiang Zhe responded politely.
"Actually, our family and the second branch have never really lived or dined together, and we seldom see each other. But since the elder lady fell ill, there has been more frequent interactions, and inevitably we'll end up spending more extended time together. Be accommodating, if you would."
Jiang Zhe's eyebrows rose slightly, "I am the one imposing."
