Xu's mom sighed deeply: "Since your dad has already made a will, there's nothing more for me to say. Once the formalities are done, you all can go ahead with the transfer. In any case, living alone scares me. Once it's all done, I'll call you."
The daughter-in-law smiled broadly: "Alright then, once the formalities are done, we'll take mom along, and all of us can go on a trip together."
"We'll see when the time comes."
The mother and daughter got into the car and left the small town under the watchful eyes of friends and relatives.
It wasn't until they were on the highway heading to the provincial capital that Xu Xiaoya breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a glance with her mother, and both of them almost broke into a cold sweat.
Xu's mom sighed: "Xiaoya, from now on, I can only rely on you. If it weren't for your dad being buried in the hometown, I wouldn't ever want to go back..."
Xu Xiaoya laughed: "Well, aren't we finally liberated?"
