Strangers are easy to guard against, family thieves are hard to fend off.
If there are one or two bad relatives around who like to stir up trouble, they can turn a situation that could be handled rationally into a complete mess. Therefore, Li Xuan and her sister hated that bunch of relatives half to death.
Those relatives, however, thought she and her sister were the bad ones, trying to overstep their place and take over as the head of the family from the elders. So whenever there was trouble, they would inevitably go to their house to talk, expecting her parents to resume control. They were actually after their family's money. When the Wu family needed to come up with money for something, the other relatives wanted them to pay more, and Li Xuan and her sisters would definitely not let their own family be taken advantage of.
