Chai Tianlang wanted to play with Guoguo, following his mother and unwilling to follow the Eldest Young Master Chai.
"Come, Tianlang, sit with your sister." Sister-in-law Chai ignored the displeased Miss Chai and took her son to sit among the womenfolk.
According to tradition, uncles and aunts take precedence.
Everyone ushered Sister-in-law Chai to the top seat.
"Open the gift boxes and have a look," Sister-in-law Chai nodded to the maid.
Chuntao placed the four boxes on the table and opened them one by one.
The Great Princess and Second Princess craned their necks to see.
The village women observing also turned their attention over.
Displaying birthday gifts publicly is also a village custom.
Sister-in-law Chai brought four gift boxes, not fearing the crowd's scrutiny.
Once the boxes were opened, everyone was surprised.
