At breakfast, everyone was quietly eating.
The Wu family upheld the rule of no talking during meals or sleep.
With his wife not home, Mr. Wu found the meal tasteless; after a few bites, he said he was going to find Mr. Kang for a game of chess and left.
At the table, only Xu Meng and her husband and Wu Pingxuan and her husband remained, while Wu Fei had already gone out.
Wu Fei's parents were working overtime at the hospital.
Xu Meng ate silently, planning to leave as soon as she finished, to visit her son at the hospital.
There was a lot to do today.
Wu Pingxuan hesitated to speak, feeling awkward about her sister-in-law's attitude.
She gathered courage from Meng Ran's encouraging look.
"Sister-in-law, it was my fault yesterday. I spoke without thinking and didn't mean what I said."
Upon saying it, she felt much relieved.
Xu Meng was surprised, looking at her sister-in-law suspiciously.
A sister-in-law's apology?
Was she dreaming?
