Liu Sanjin finished work early in the afternoon, she sat at the entrance of the central room waiting for Xie Jinghao. These past two days, without fail, the third son's household had been bringing their children to run towards the main house, as if she didn't know. The gossiping old ladies at the village entrance had told her everything today—that her eldest daughter-in-law had gone to the county and dragged back two large packages. She was certain that it must have been the things her son sent back, but as for what specifically, she needed to thoroughly inquire.
When Xie Jinghao walked in with Xiao Gang, the moment she opened the door and made eye contact with Liu Sanjin, she was startled and her steps faltered.
"Mother, you finished work so early. I'll go cook right away."
"Wait, come sit down first, I have some questions for you."
Xie Jinghao glanced at her, then walked over with Xiao Gang.
