"Sister-in-law, didn't you hear me? Where are the chicken and eggs?"
Ye Shuying, holding her son, entered the living room without letting her son greet anyone first, nor did she bother to check on her nephew.
She was always focused on the matter of gifts; indeed, she only acted as the elder sister for the sake of appearances. She wouldn't spend money to visit for the sake of vanity, just wanting that bit of face value, not to hear people gossip about her. Today, she had come without gifts, hoping to mooch off a meal.
"They're being prepared!"
Mrs. Li's gentle demeanor pleased Ye Shuying; her sister-in-law did not embarrass her with words suggesting she should have prepared the gifts herself.
"Sister-in-law, besides the chicken and eggs, did you also prepare clothes and a quilt for my sister's child?"
Mrs. Li, smiling, responded, "You should ask your mother about that. You're not expecting me to prepare those things, are you?"
