Susu had been experiencing frequent fetal movements lately and dared not drink too much water at night, fearing she would constantly need to wake up to use the bathroom.
Mrs. Su, worried her daughter-in-law might need help during the night, had simply moved in to sleep in the same room as Susu, along with the three siblings.
By March, only Susu and her in-laws were left in the house.
The three siblings had already started their school term and were reluctant to leave.
They didn't want to leave grandma, Aunt/Third Aunt, nor Da Hei, who guarded the gate and the yard.
Originally, the father-son duo, who used to come back every weekend, had been busy with Police Station work since last week and hadn't had time to return.
However, the father and son would still call home every other week to ask about everyone.
Just then, Mrs. Lu had just come in from outside after finishing a call, her face all smiles.
Father Lu, who had the day off, asked, "What did they say? You seem so happy."
