Li Jingming coaxed Li Jingyan and Li Jingyu into the house and then hurriedly went to find Li Zhiyuan.
"Dad."
When Li Jingming entered the room and saw Li Zhiyuan, he quickly told Zhiyuan about Jingyan asking her to drive them to Provincial City: "Do you think something happened to Jingyu and Jingyan? Their eyes were all red, like they've been crying."
Li Zhiyuan couldn't sit still upon hearing this.
He didn't go to ask, but asked Sun Xiumei to inquire about the girls instead.
Sun Xiumei went up to Li Jingyu and asked, "It's already dark, why must you two go to the Provincial City?"
Li Jingyu didn't hide the truth: "We want to go see our mom."
"What?"
Sun Xiumei was taken aback.
Li Jingming tugged at Sun Xiumei's sleeve: "They want to go see elder sister-in-law."
Since the Li brothers changed how they addressed Anning, the older three called Anning 'fourth sister,' and the younger two called her 'fourth elder sister,' so the kids followed suit and called her 'auntie.'
