That evening, after tidying everything up, Li Xiu climbed onto the kang bed, hugged Zhou Lian, and said with a contented sigh, "Bao'er, our daughter's full-month celebration went well."
"Yes, it was all thanks to Grandma Li and our aunts," Zhou Lian said, agreeing wholeheartedly. 'My mother-in-law isn't a reasonable person, and neither is her family. Those three aunts of hers are a real handful. We were lucky Grandma Li was there to keep things under control, or it wouldn't have been so quiet.'
"Yeah, we really owe them. Don't worry. Since they were good to us, I'll find a way to repay the favor," Li Xiu said softly, stroking his wife's hair.

Zhou Lian paused for a moment. "Dad said my qi-and-blood deficiency is almost healed," she said. "It was the ginseng."
"What else?" Li Xiu noticed his wife seemed uncomfortable, but since it concerned her health, he pressed her for more.
