Telling the truth always hurts! 'It takes three years to learn how to speak, but a lifetime to learn how to keep your mouth shut.' She had been doing a great job of it, but who could blame her? There were just too many absurd things happening, and she couldn't hold back her commentary.
After getting a smack on the back, Xu Changqing considered herself quite well-behaved. When she heard the courtyard gate open and her family's little old lady emerge, she even lowered her head respectfully and kept her mouth shut.
"Ma, are they still inside?" Bai Xiulan quickly grabbed her mother-in-law's arm. She pointed a finger toward the lit eastern outer room and asked in a low voice.
Old Mrs. Xu glanced at her family's quiet little gourd of a granddaughter and nodded. "They're not arguing. After all, I raised the eldest and his brother with my own two hands. They know how to be reasonable."
'Heh.'
Bai Xiulan secretly let out a sigh of relief.
'I want to make a sarcastic comment again!'
