Li Qiao told Old Mrs. Qin before leaving that due to preparing for a competition, she wouldn't be coming home next Saturday.
"Do you have enough rice? Is your money sufficient? Have you packed light clothes now that the weather's warm?" Old Mrs. Qin, worried that Li Qiao would be aggrieved, kept nagging.
Li Qiao responded with a smile, "I've prepared everything that needs to be prepared."
"Let me walk you there."
"No need." Li Qiao left.
Old Mrs. Qin watched until she reached the village entrance before turning back.
Yu Feng said, "Grandma, I hate to say something unpleasant, but Qiaoqiao..."
Old Mrs. Qin's face darkened, "If you know it's unpleasant, why say it?" Wasn't it just because they thought the grand-daughter-in-law, having been to university, looked down on her grandson?
Did they think she hadn't seriously considered the consequences?
