Hearing Lady Zhou's voice clamoring frantically outside, one could discern her annoyance and distress. Lian Manman chuckled to herself while eating her steamed buns.
Lian Shouxin put down the bowl in his hand, "I, I better go out and speak to Mother." Telling Lady Zhou that they had saved some of the steamed buns.
Lady Zhang didn't look at Lian Shouxin and reached for the spoon to scoop a bit more sugar into Xiao Qi's bowl.
"Dad, just wait," Lian Manman said, "My grandma is fuming right now. If you go, you will just get scolded too." It would be one thing if Lady Zhou only scolded Lian Shouxin, but she would surely rant at them as well.
"These steamed buns do include our share, but, it's still best to inform your grandma," Lian Shouxin said.
"Haven't we said that already?" Lady Zhang lifted her head, "We should have a good talk with Mother, but what did she do? She doesn't want to let us have a say at all."
