"I'm stepping out for a bit. When your father and sister-in-law return, tell them I've gone to the Red Star Production Team and will be back soon," Li Shengmei said as she and Feng Ying left.

"How long has she been gone?" He Hongjun inquired.
"Not too long ago," He Xuewu replied, adding, "Dad, what's wrong?"
