It was the day for married women to return to their maternal homes after the new year.
The eldest sister-in-law and her family of four planned to return with the third sister-in-law and her household, but Zhang Minghua had hosted a feast just a couple of days ago, and her family from her maternal home had come as well; therefore, she decided not to go back.
Instead, she sent a message to her second sister to come over on the third day to be a dinner guest, but later she thought it better to go in person to speak some heartfelt words.
So she called on Yang PeiMin to join her, leaving Yang Peiying at home to help look after Xiao Bao.
However, her eldest daughter was reluctant to go; she thought visiting relatives was fun only when she was a child and necessary to accompany the elders, but she was no longer a child, there were no familiar cousins to have fun with, and going there might look like she was just after the red envelopes, so Yang PeiMin firmly refused to go.
