As soon as the elders went to their room, Muyang faced the disapproving face of his father who was staring at him with a huge frown as if he was insane. He expected his father to explode as soon as he opened his mouth But it was not his father that spoke first, it was his mother that raised her voice to ask them the question which had been on their minds.
"You two, are you crazy?" She extended her body toward them, bit by bit.
Muyang and Chi Lian looked at each other and then back at his parents.
"Why?" Muyang pretended not to know what they were referring to.
"Don't give your mother that hopeless look you know what we are talking about. How can you both indulge them like this?" His father's exasperated loud voice made it's entrance into the conversation. "They are old for crying out loud!!"
"Old is not dead father-in-law." Chi Lian mumbled and quickly shut her mouth when those fiery glaring eyes turned to her.
