Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and early in the morning, Pei Yang had brought Pei Ziheng along to clean the house and put up the spring couplets.
Shen Mingzhu was treated like a delicate porcelain doll by the father and son duo; they wouldn't let her do anything except sit, rest, and give orders.
As they were busy in the midst of their work, the front door was banged on so hard it seemed to shake the heavens.
When the door opened, a large group of people was standing outside, led by Hu Guifen's in-laws. However, there was no sign of Fu Shouchang.
Seeing the door open, Mother Fu and Father Fu, with the crowd behind them, attempted to charge inside but were blocked by Pei Yang, standing steadfastly in the doorway.
