Li Xiu, still on the train, had no idea that his wife had made a new friend. Not only had she already snapped up her future daughter-in-law, but she had also secured an invisible yet sturdy safety net for them in the Capital City. On top of that, she had left a deep impression on her future in-laws before they had even met.
When Zhang Hongying returned home, only her mother was there; everyone else had gone to work. Although it was Sunday, due to their professions, Father Zhang, her two older brothers, and her sisters-in-law rarely got two days off in a row. Since Wang Song had finally come back on leave and Zhou Lian was visiting yesterday, Father Zhang had everyone rearrange their schedules for a rare day off together.
Seeing her daughter return, Mrs. Zhang teased, "I was starting to think you weren't coming home today!"
"Mom, I need to talk to you about something."
