The couple quickly washed up and left the house to have a meal first.
After eating, they bought fresh flowers and incense paper money.
Then, despite the scorching noon sun, they drove to the mountain.
From a distance, they could see that the plants around Huo Xiyao's mother's grave had changed significantly since the last visit, now cloaked in a layer of green.
But her grave stood there just as before, solitary and desolate, evoking the image of the once lonely and struggling woman.
Xia Chu's mood uncontrollably darkened as she looked at Huo Xiyao and whispered, "Let's go, over there."
Huo Xiyao was in a comparatively good mood, even asking her with a smile, "Nervous? The ugly wife is finally going to meet her mother-in-law."
Xia Chu glared at him. "I've already met her last time, and even over a decade ago. What's there to be nervous about? Also, who's calling who ugly? Someone should think before speaking."
