Xiao Qiu brought back a basket full of groceries and bumped into an old lady at the alley entrance, "Whoa, buying so much food today, is there some kind of celebration?"
Having lived here for so long, she'd grown familiar with everyone in Radiance Alley. The residents, who faced a shortage of housing, were quite envious of them for having such good relatives. Of course, there were also some sour comments, but neither Second Sister-in-law Lu and her husband nor Xiao Qiu paid them any mind.
"My auntie has come back."
The old lady was surprisingly shocked and echoed the same sentiment as Second Sister-in-law Lu, "Isn't the university entrance exam in July? That's little more than a month away, why come back now? That spiteful mother and daughter duo ruined her chance at university the year before last, and now she needs to study even harder to get into a good university, to not let the bad experience mess with her aspirations."
