Upon seeing Lian Changhe, Lian Wanzhen asked him if they should set off a string of firecrackers to celebrate her brother-in-law's birthday, since his birthday was such a grand affair. Seeing how the streets and other houses were decorated with colorful silks and satins, it would be unacceptable for their family not to set off firecrackers.
Lian Changhe immediately glared and scolded him for talking nonsense, what brother-in-law, and urged him to get to the kitchen to help with lighting the fire for breakfast, telling him not to worry about these matters.
After sending him off, Lian Changhe felt uneasy, thinking that if his son-in-law's birthday was such an event, how could he dare to play the role of a father-in-law in the future? It was too worrying for him, and they hadn't even gone through the proper processes of establishing familial ties or met the man in person, so how could he be considered a son-in-law?
