The three sisters of the Bai Family excitedly came over, originally planning to get some benefits from their older brother's home and have a meal of meat dumplings before going back. But who would have thought they'd end up with a bowl of thin cornmeal porridge and not gain a single benefit. Apart from their brother, no one else was in a good mood.
The three of them—more accurately, Bai Dajuan and Bai Damei—left the old house with sour faces.
Because Bai Xiaomei hardly spoke from start to finish, nor did she have any complaints about the cornmeal porridge and pickles. This was already a good meal for her; at home, she might even miss meals like these.
Traditionally, the daughters and sons-in-law who return on the second day of the New Year are supposed to stay overnight before leaving. Who knows who set this rule.
And so, Grandma Bai spent the night listening to her two daughters' complaints.
