That day, Xinyan received a call from home.
She learned that her eldest cousin was going on a mission in a few days, which could take some time. Worried that he wouldn't be able to care for his wife and daughter, he planned to send them back to the old residence.
His wife had given birth to a daughter, Han Feifei, at the end of September, with their aunt accompanying her during childbirth.
Originally, Gu Wanqing also wanted to go over, but Aunt Su Aihong said the road was too bumpy and was worried about Gu Wanqing's health, being her sister-in-law.
Fearing her pregnancy might make her more of a burden, Gu Wanqing didn't insist. She simply asked her sister-in-law to take along the things she had prepared.
They initially considered hosting the full month banquet together, but Aunt said the sister-in-law's mother insisted the child should be forty-two days old before picking a date for the banquet.
The date was just finalized when the eldest cousin was assigned a mission.
