Upon hearing her mother's words, Liuliu felt more at ease. She decided to follow her advice and just laugh foolishly when she was unsure. As for her uncles-in-law, she would generically refer to them all as "Uncle," regardless of their exact relation. The same approach would be applied to her aunts-in-law. She planned to keep quiet and keep low, merely smiling rather than offering her opinion. She told herself that any drastic change in her behavior could be attributed to her marriage. She had to act like a matured, dignified wife.
Indeed, Liuliu's method worked. Her uncles-in-law seemed to like her even more, and her aunts-in-law noticed that she was not like before, able to sit calmly and composedly. They all concluded that marriage had done her good and lamented about her drastic change. Liuliu even brought them fabric and sugar bags, showing her thoughtfulness and maturity.
