Bai Ruozhu wanted to laugh at Bai Yibo's misfortune, but she couldn't bring herself to feel glad. Bai Yibo was threatening people with her second brother, Bai Zehao. What if he believed it was serious?
Just as she was worrying, guests arrived, so the family quickly set aside their issues to attend to their customers.
While making flatbreads, Bai Ruozhu glanced at Bai Yihong, who was about to fetch water with a carrying pole. Her father's knitted brows deepened. Concerning the situation with their old mansion, he had the toughest decision to make.
After a while, Wan Minglu, who was dressed casually, sprinted from afar, shouting loudly, "Auntie, my mother missed one guest from our relations. Could you check if it's okay to add one more table?"
Bai Ruozhu was attracted by his voice and looked up. With Wan Minglu not dressed in his usual officer uniform, he seemed more approachable, like an older brother next door.
