No in-laws would want their daughter-in-law to stay at her parental home for long; it's bound to cause gossip.
Even though the in-laws said they didn't mind, it's not something the younger generation can do.
These past few days have been dizzying with family matters, not thinking much, and as the elder, I've been quite negligent.
Thinking of this, Zhong's old man spoke up, "Xiaoxiao, you should go back with your younger brother-in-law later."
Xiaoxiao didn't expect her father to say this so abruptly, asking her to go back. How could she do that? The family matters haven't been settled yet, and even if she went, she wouldn't be at ease. "Dad, there's nothing much at home. I'll go back in a few days. Besides, our family's matters aren't finished."
