Finding the Old Lady

After dinner, the Gu Zi family departed by car. The village roads were narrow, causing them to drive slowly. The villagers they encountered along the way often greeted them. Despite the encroaching darkness, the journey was lively.

The inhabitants of Little Lin village were now envious of the Lin family's fortune. Lin Laoyao's wife was stopped on her way home by the villagers, who praised Gu Zi and the Lin family's good fortune.

A seed of jealousy had long since taken root in her heart, and now it was like a sharp sword, causing her great pain.

There were those with malicious intent who pointedly asked, "They didn't invite you to the wedding or the reception; have your families really cut ties?"

Lin Laoyao's wife let out an unpleasant laugh, hands on her hips, she retorted, "Even if brothers fight and break bones, they're still connected by tendons. How could we possibly cut ties? That's absolutely impossible!"
