"If they weren't making a fuss about splitting up the family, I would have helped him bring his bride home before the new year too," he said.
Since Ji Ying's bride price wasn't coming from her anyway, Liu Sanmei was happy to say a good word; she said, "It's not that I don't want to lend the bowls and tables, but Qinghu is coming home today."
Xu Qinghu had recently been going through hard times. Initially, Liu Sanmei was unhappy about being kept in the dark, but as time passed and she saw her daughter getting thinner, her heart softened.
Thinking of her daughter's return, she wanted to make something delicious no matter what.
"She even has the nerve to come back."
Whenever Xu Zhong spoke about what Xu Qinghu had done, he would scowl and say, "Everyone else lends them, if I, her own grandfather, don't lend them, where would I put my face?"
