Today was the Minor New Year, so Su Shengguo and his family of five had all returned home.
Normally, this would call for a lively reunion dinner, but right now, no one in the Su Family looked very happy.
Old Lady Su had hurt her back when Tian Aixiang shoved her to the ground. Ever since being discharged from the hospital, she had been bedridden, recuperating. She was furious at Tian Aixiang for pushing her, and the hatred she felt was bone-deep. Every day, she found new ways to torment Tian Aixiang. One moment the food wasn't to her taste, the next something else wasn't to her liking. If Tian Aixiang showed even a hint of reluctance, Old Lady Su would grab her crutch, stumble out into the courtyard, and start wailing that her daughter-in-law was abusing her, crying loud enough for the whole village to hear.
