Sisi arrived alone at the Lei family compound. Shangguan also came, also alone. It seemed their thoughts were aligned, unwilling to involve the children in these troublesome affairs.
The elderly couple of the Lei family were also there, sitting expressionless in the living room. Upon seeing Sisi and Shangguan, however, they smiled and invited them to sit, telling them to make themselves comfortable.
The people from the Tang Family who came were Liu Ping and a middle-aged woman. Zhang Jie whispered to Sisi and Shangguan that she was the mother of Tang Anzhi and Tang Anxin, hereby referred to as Mrs. Tang, known as the daughter-in-law most favored by Old Mrs. Tang in the whole Tang Family.
Mrs. Tang and Liu Ping repeatedly claimed that Old Mrs. Tang had been hurt by Lei Haiyang's four children and was now unable to move at home, and that Lei Haiyang, being the eldest of the four children, had failed to discipline his younger siblings properly.
