At that moment, Gu Chenzi's mother, Shen Cuizhi, was outside working with the eldest daughter-in-law, Liu Lizhen, and the second daughter-in-law, Fan Xiaoli, in the courtyard. They were feeding the chickens and rabbits.
Then they heard a series of knocks on the door.
The eldest daughter-in-law looked curiously toward the door, "Who could it be during the New Year's festivities?"
The second daughter-in-law gave her a disdainful look, "How would you know who it is if you don't open the door?"
Despite being sisters-in-law, who appeared to get along on the surface, deep down their conflicts ran deep.
Hearing this, the eldest daughter-in-law glared back at the second, "I was just speaking off the cuff. Didn't you see I'm feeding the chickens? I don't have time to open the door. If you're so eager, you go."
The second daughter-in-law laughed, "Look at you, big sister, talking like that. I'm feeding the rabbits right here. Like I've got nothing better to do."
