Liang Xiling was convinced that her job at the food factory was a sure thing, so she stopped looking for work and just waited at home for Shen Hongmei to come knocking.
The Liang family harbored the same thoughts.
Especially Liang's mother, whose feelings were mixed; she both feared and hoped that Shen Hongmei would not come.
Just the thought of her precious son being sullied by Shen Hongmei's "worn shoes" caused her great anger and pain.
But if Shen Hongmei didn't come, her daughter's job prospects were up in the air.
One day.
Two days.
Before they knew it, the third day had arrived.
Shen Hongmei had still not paid a visit, causing the Liang family to grow anxious.
"Mom, should we have Kean inquire about it? There might have been some complication," suggested the eldest daughter-in-law.
Liang's mother glared at the one who made the suggestion, "What's there to ask about? She can come if she wants. Our Liang family certainly doesn't beg her."
