That the main family and second branch routinely tried to stir up trouble for Xiao'er's family over time had become disconcertingly common. Shen Chengyao was called to the fields by the long-term workers as soon as he got home, and he didn't have time to wallow in his melancholy!
All Mrs. Liu did was ask, "Did your grandfather call your father to the main house for something?"
Xiao'er briefly explained the situation.
Mrs. Liu nonchalantly uttered a simple "Oh", then went back to fussing over the new toy design for the toy store that Xiao'er was making.
"Mom, why are you so indifferent?" Xiao'er found it strange. Shouldn't Mrs. Liu's reactions involve anger, fury, or at least a few choice words, to be considered normal?
It shouldn't be this dull, like saying today's food tastes good as usual!
Well, the food at their house is always good, so it's ordinary.
