Bai Yihong and his wife had discussed finishing the construction of the house before the autumn busy season, by then, Bai Ruozhu would be due to give birth and start her postpartum rest. This way, she would avoid the chaos of the construction.
They hired people to construct the house, so they had to host a meal on the first day of construction. Since they were only building one room, the Bai family didn't invite many people to help, so they only set up two tables.
Even though the second household had moved out, as the head of the Bai family, it was proper etiquette to invite the patriarch to the housewarming feast. So, the day before the meal, Bai Yihong informed the patriarch. Surprisingly, along with the patriarch, Bai Yibo and his wife also came the next day.
Bai Ruozhu's family exchanged glances, clearly none of them were pleased to see Bai Yibo and the Wang family. But in consideration of the patriarch, none of them showed their displeasure openly.
