"Oh dear, sister-in-law, why are you standing alone upstairs?" The Shi Family sisters-in-law downstairs had known that Shi Mother was upstairs. After finishing discussing their matters, they pretended to call out carelessly, "Shi Lan used to love standing there too. For a moment, I thought Shi Lan had come back. It was quite frightening."
"Ah, if Shi Lan were here, we aunties wouldn't need to worry about these matters."
This was a veiled criticism of Shi Mother's incompetence.
Shi Mother snorted coldly, turned around, and returned to her room, her face flushed with anger, yet she had no solution for the people downstairs.
"Shi Lan has been dead for a year now, haven't you accepted the fact yet?"
"Tsk tsk, unless Shi Lan comes back to life, she will never have a place in the Shi Family again."
