In stark contrast to the festive atmosphere of the Tian Family was Xu Qianwen. She wasn't mingling with her sisters-in-law bragging and showing off like before; instead, she sat quietly in the living room watching TV, her face void of a smile, and exuding a gloomy aura that made no one want to talk to her.
In the kitchen, Zhu Aiqing whispered to Granny Zhao, "Mama, what's going on with third sister-in-law? She seems a bit off to me?"
Jin Wan Hua nodded in agreement, "I feel something's not right too, as if she's got something weighing heavily on her mind."
Granny Zhao had long noticed Xu Qianwen's odd behavior, and it unsettled her. Showing such a sour face during the New Year, to whom was she trying to give a show?
"Just ignore her. I'll have to speak to Ai Guo, and if she keeps behaving like this, they shouldn't come back for the New Year. It's really a bad omen!"
