After his wife went to take a shower, Li Xiu turned to Mrs. Zhou and said, "Mom, don't worry. I won't let my wife or our child suffer. I'll go to the Capital City first to get everything arranged. When Lian'er starts school next month, she'll be able to attend without a care in the world."
"I know you dote on her, so I'm not worried about that. I wanted to tell you that she's not an ungrateful person. She would never do anything heartless."
"Mom, Lian'er would never do that. She's very innocent and kind. I trust her; I've never doubted her," Li Xiu said to Mrs. Zhou with a smile. 'His darling just isn't built for that kind of scheming!'
"As long as you two are happy, I can rest easy. You're a level-headed man. In the future, you must stay just like this—the family together and happy. That's better than anything." Mrs. Zhou, unsure of what else to say to her son-in-law, simply voiced her dearest wish.
