Chapter 738 - 737 Sisters-in-law
Lady Lin seemed to have heard Old Granny Zhang’s voice faintly, shuddering as she hurried to the door to look. Oh, mother! It really was Granny and her younger sister returning!
She called out anxiously in the yard, "Don’t kick! Don’t kick! The door is opening, the door is opening!"
At the same time, she shouted into the house: "Head of the household, mother and younger sister are back!"
"Creak—" With that sound, the front door was flung open. Lady Lin ran out from inside, clasping her hands, and asked cautiously, "Mother, younger sister, brother-in-law, you’re back!"
Meanwhile, her gaze stealthily flicked towards the carriage behind them.
Old Granny Zhang stepped forward unapologetically, shoving Lady Lin aside while ordering as she walked in: "Laosi, help Chongjin unload the stuff."
Just then, Wang Yongfu, who had been up all night collecting mountain goods, was catching up on sleep during the day. Hearing Lady Lin calling for mother and sister, he woke up instantly.
He tumbled off the kang, not even taking time to grab his shoes before rushing out,
And came face to face with Old Granny Zhang. Even a man like Wang Yongfu couldn’t help his eyes reddening as he choked out a call, "Mother—"
He hadn’t realized the importance of having mother around until Old Granny Zhang and Wang Yongzhu went to the city. Wang Yongfu gradually noticed the comfort of having her presence.
Though mother favored his sister, having her at home meant the family never caused him such worry.
