Ms. Zhang trembled with anger, her face flushed. Yet, she lowered her head and refrained from uttering a word.
Still, her anger burned within her as she cursed Ms. Yan for being sneaky and her mother-in-law for being foolish enough to trust Ms. Yan's flattering words so easily.

Ms. Zhang seethed with anger. With the New Year approaching and the first section of the family already distributing gifts to the in-laws, she wondered what her mother-in-law's plan was.
Reluctant to ask directly, she privately vented her frustrations to her husband.
