Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Xu—who had spent most of the day ignoring Xu Changqing after being thoroughly vexed by her retort, "I'll be a blockhead right along with you"—brought up the subject of her granddaughter going to the Shen family for the New Year's Eve reunion dinner tomorrow.
Of course, she still didn't want to speak directly to this granddaughter of hers, who was perfectly fine until she opened her mouth and said something infuriating. So, she addressed her daughter-in-law, Bai Xiulan, instead.
"I've already discussed it with your sister-in-law. We'll eat early tomorrow so we can clean up the dishes early. It's bad luck to clean after New Year's Eve begins."
Hearing this, Xu Changqing turned and shot Old Mrs. Xu a mock-angry glare. "Listen to that! Tsk, tsk, tsk. See? She's already trying to kick me out."
