"Bao'er, they wouldn't dare. Don't worry about it. How are the preparations going? I can't get away from here, so if anything comes up, have Li Bao, Li Guo, and Li Bo handle it. You just need to oversee everything. Don't wear my Bao'er out."
Glancing at the high heels on Zhou Lian's feet, Li Xiu said gently, "Bao'er, there's a pair of flats in the car. Go change into them."
"I know. Don't worry about me, I have it all under control. I've left Yanyan with Sister Fang and Grandma; we can send for him when he's needed," Zhou Lian said gently, sighing softly as she looked into his eyes, which were always so full of tenderness and affection for her.
As the sun was setting, Li Xiu's aunt finally arrived. Zhou Lian, accompanied by the wives of Li Hua and Li Man, met the wailing aunt at the village entrance and helped her into the mourning hall. Only after she had viewed Second Brother Li's remains was the body placed in the coffin.
