The old lady cried for a good long while before she slowly stopped. Afterward, Yuan Si finally learned what had happened.
It turned out the problem was still about Zhou Yaping, the girlfriend Li Mubo had found.
Before the New Year, the old lady had already had a showdown with Li Mubo. She laid out all the faults of the Zhou Family and Zhou Yaping, making it clear she would never accept such a daughter-in-law and that he should break things off with her as soon as possible.
For the next few days, Li Mubo walked around with a gloomy face. At home, he would just hole up in his room, not speaking or interacting with anyone, as if he were sulking at the world. The old lady and Yuan Si saw this but ignored him. They figured he was just throwing a tantrum over breaking up with his girlfriend and would get over it after a while.
