After hearing his wife's words, Li Chenze said, "Don't your aunt live far away?"
"She has been a widow for more than ten years and raised her children alone. But her children insisted on separating their household registrations and drove her away after they got married. She returned to my parents' house a few days ago. Although my parents could give her shelter, they couldn't feed her for a lifetime," Zhang Dongmei explained with a sigh.
"So, how about we ask her for help? We can give her food or money. That way, she can support herself and not be ashamed of living with my parents," she asked.
Li Chenze thought for a while and said, "Then let's do as you say."
After reaching an agreement, Li Chenze went to heat the steamed buns and locked the door. He took some steamed buns back to his room and had dinner with his wife.
Early the next morning, Lu Jueyu was collecting vegetables when she heard a knock on the gate.
