Zhou Xueli received the message that Madam Zhou had arrived, sent by his wife, and hurried home carrying farm tools. As he entered, he indeed saw Madam Zhou, but her face looked a bit off, and her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
"Second Sister," Zhou Xueli called out.
Madam Zhou looked over and managed a smile: "You're back!"
Zhou Xueli put down the farm tools, realizing he was all muddy, and noticing the two young girls beside Madam Zhou, his face turned red. He quickly said, "I'll change my clothes before coming to chat with you, Second Sister."
Madam Zhou, having been reprimanded by Old Lady Zhou, felt embarrassed to stay longer and said, "No need, I just came to see you all. In a few days, I'll be moving to Changan with Wufu to settle there, and I don't know when I'll be able to return. Just wanted to let you know. Now that I've seen Mother, I should be going."
