The Lu Family received orders from Old Ye to gather at his place over the weekend. This would be the first family reunion at Old Ye's home after everyone had established their own households.
During a phone call between Lan Shanshan and the eldest son's wife Zhang Miaoshan, Shanshan inquired about the matter. Miaoshan's attitude, as usual, was elusive and liked to keep others guessing, speaking ambiguously, saying: "Whatever the old man wants to say is up to him. As his juniors, can we decide what the old man should do?"
Lan Shanshan felt unsettled: "You can't say that. What if the old man's actions are wrong? Should we, as juniors, watch him make mistakes without speaking up or intervening?"
