The affairs of the Lin Family did not stir any ripples in the Zhou Family. Life went on as usual; no one paid attention, and no one brought it up.
Only Zhou Jiao knew. Her mom would definitely sneak back to the retirement home the next day; otherwise, she wouldn't have kept a stony face, emitting an icy 'stranger beware' aura on the way.
She didn't intend to uncover the truth nor wanted to know what happened in the Lin Family that day to make her mom never mention her maiden family again.
"Ignorance is bliss"—watching her mom return to normal, laughing heartily without a care after just two days. Zhou Jiao was even more reluctant to bring up the Lin Family.
Ping'an woke up every morning, carrying his modified military backpack to the daycare, and returned in the evening to mimic the expressions and dialogues of the aunties and playmates like a little adult, amusing the entire family.
