After seeing Li Hua and her husband off, the rest of the Li family dispersed. The sun hadn't yet set when Li Xiu and his wife got home. They ate an early dinner and went to bed to rest. Zhou Lian couldn't sleep, so the two of them started chatting idly.
"Bao'er, what made you decide to say all that when we were sending Li Hua off?" Li Xiu asked curiously. 'My wife isn't one to meddle in other people's business.'
"Oh, wasn't I just repaying a favor on your behalf? She's done her best for you, her big brother. If her path is a little smoother in the future, you'll have less to worry about," Zhou Lian said lazily. 'Li Hua is a good person and treats Li Xiu like her own brother. I can't just stand by and watch, can I? Besides, it was just a matter of a few words.'
