Lin Xia briskly responded, "Alright! Sister Liu! I definitely won't be a stranger! After work tonight, I'll come over to see your mother-in-law and your kids!
These past few days have been hectic with my family's issues; I couldn't manage anything else!"
"Ah! Xiaolin! It really has been tough on you! Dealing with such a family, what can one do! You can come over to sit, but don't buy anything..."
Liu Lanying and Lin Xia, arm in arm, chattered and laughed their way back to the workshop.
This scene naturally caught the eyes of others, but since Liu Lanying was popular and her family was well-off, more curious glances were directed toward Lin Xia.
It just so happened that Lin Xia's unit was paying salaries today, and she pressed her handprint to receive her wages.
Since it was the end of the month and salaries were distributed on the tenth or thereabouts, Lin Xia had only taken two days off last month, with the long leave taken this month.
