The Qiu couple exchanged glances, and Old Man Qiu put down the knife, wiped his hands, and walked outside, while Mother Qiu quietly peeked through the crack in a window at what was going on inside. She could vaguely see Zhou Lijun sitting across from her daughter.
However, she caught their conversation.
