Mrs. Yang felt particularly apprehensive. The deed she had committed that day was indeed unwarranted, and even if the in-laws were not visiting because of that matter, she still felt somewhat embarrassed to face them. However, although that was the case, she absolutely couldn’t neglect them since they had arrived. Mrs. Yang intended to personally greet them at the door, but Su Wenyue persuaded her not to.
“Mother, you still have a wound on your head, so it’s best to just lie in bed and rest. I’ll have my mother come to see you instead. Otherwise, if you disturb the wound, both I and my father and mother would feel uneasy.” Su Wenyue, too, noticed the anxiety on Mrs. Yang’s face and couldn’t help but find it a bit amusing.
Mrs. Yang felt a sigh of relief at Su Wenyue’s words but also felt a bit of remorse: “Then, then I won’t go out. Fourth Daughter-in-law, please hurry and welcome the in-laws for me, apologize to them on my behalf, and ask Fourth child to take good care of them. It’s not often they visit, and look at me, unable to entertain them properly with my injury.”
“Mother, don’t worry. My father and mother must have heard about what happened in our family and came over because they were worried about your injury. Knowing you’re okay is good enough; we’ll always have opportunities in the future to entertain each other. We are in-laws after all, one family no need for such formalities. I’m going to head out first.”
Although it was just a family visit, the status of the Su Family was still evident in the treatment they received at the Han Family. To show earnest respect, Old Man Han personally led a few of his sons to the gate to welcome them, and with all due civility, escorted the guests into the main hall. The sister-in-laws busied themselves, some pouring tea, others serving fruit plates, all very enthusiastic! Only Han Lin and his wife shrank in their own room, not daring to come out for fear that Mr. and Mrs. Su might trouble them, especially after the incident involving Mrs. Wang’s elder brother from her mother’s family; another ordeal awaited them.
Indeed, Mr. and Mrs. Su were somewhat worried about the situation at the Han Family. The person who had come to notify them yesterday was unclear, and moreover, their daughter and son-in-law had gone directly back to the Han Family without stopping by the Su Family, leaving them uneasy. That’s why they came early in the morning to check in, and incidentally visit the mother-in-law, also to save face for their daughter. Although they were somewhat dissatisfied because of the previous incident, Mrs. Yang was after all Han Yu’s birth mother. Seeing that Han Yu had behaved well and Mrs. Yang had been injured, they decided to set aside the matter for the time being.
“Daughter, you went straight back to the Han Family yesterday and didn’t send anyone over to explain the situation. Both your father and I were worried, so we came over early in the morning. How is your mother-in-law now? Is her injury serious? Your mother has brought quite a lot of tonics, all for your mother-in-law.”
Su Wenyue glanced back and indeed saw that the family servants were carrying quite a lot of things, probably all tonics brought for Mrs. Yang.
“Mother, really now, why are you bringing so many tonics? A token gesture would have sufficed. Besides, don’t you have a grievance with my mother-in-law? Why the sudden generosity?” Su Wenyue whispered this into An Family’s ear. Between mother and daughter, there were no need for such roundabout talks, so Su Wenyue spoke quite directly.
An Family tapped Su Wenyue on the forehead: “Silly daughter, what do you know? I intentionally brought extra tonics to show your mother-in-law just how generous and magnanimous we are; that we’re not even holding a grudge over the past affair. Let her be embarrassed; let’s see if she dares to make things difficult for you afterwards!”
