Droplet and Lin En stood up straight with a laugh.
Alice teased angrily, "I'm already shameless enough at my age, and you two dare to make fun of me! Just wait till nobody's around, I'll settle the score with you both! Now as your punishment, go to the kitchen and stew those two parrots your father raised for me."
"Ah!" Lin En froze.
Alice widened her eyes, "What's with the 'ah'? Get going! Recently, your father treats those parrots better than he treats me, it bugs me! You two stew them to nurture Luowa."
Yi Luowa smiled with pursed lips, "Auntie, I just finished drinking the soup my sister made for me, let's not kill the parrots."
"Parrots are very nourishing, look at how slim you've become," Alice chuckled at her two daughters-in-law, "Off you go. If your dad decides to scold, you can each take half the blame. He won't be too rough on you two."
"Thanks, Mom, for considering it so thoroughly," Droplet said, pulling Lin En out the door.
