Jiang Nan stared at the tightly closed door and involuntarily took two steps back as she thought about her mother-in-law and the Chongxi sister-in-law sizing her up.
Brother Lu held his wife's hand, comforting her softly.
"It's okay, I'm here."
"Big brother, why didn't you come in when you arrived?"
Mrs. Lu came out with a basin and noticed her eldest daughter-in-law standing behind her son, trying to keep a straight face.
"The elder sister-in-law is here too, come inside."
Jiang Nan bit her lip and nodded, not daring to meet her mother-in-law's gaze.
Lu Xiaoting was somewhat surprised but maintained his composure and greeted them.
"Brother, elder sister-in-law, please have a seat. Susu has gone to pick up a few kids and will be back soon."
Jiang Nan nodded and didn't pay attention to what the brothers were saying, surveying the room instead.
