The next day, when Qiu Hualan and Ye Qing got up to make breakfast, there was still no movement in the old house.
There was no need to even think about his father; since his mother was leaving, she must have given his mother a hard time last night.
"Mom, let's eat by ourselves and just leave."
"Aren't we going to say something to your brother and sister-in-law?"
"Say what? We already mentioned yesterday that we're leaving early today. Look at them, they didn't even bother to greet us. And look at the time. Let's go."
Qiu Hualan still couldn't bring herself to leave without saying a word. After breakfast, they packed up, and before leaving, she went to the old house and said something to her son from outside the door.
The response was a lazy and uninterested "Hmm."
