Madam Zhou gave a pair of earrings to Zhou Xiuer. It was not only her concerns about Wufu becoming angry and making a scene that worried her, but Zhou Xiuer herself was also somewhat anxious because of the precedent set by Madam Lu.
She spent a night fraught with anxiety, even dreaming that Wufu came over and beat her. When she woke up the next day and realized it was just a dream, that Wufu had not come, she suddenly felt refreshed and relieved, and confidently put the earrings on.
Zhou Xiuer had something, everyone in the family knew. At breakfast, Old Lady Zhou's sharp eyes, and the conspicuous color of the earrings, made it hard to overlook.
"Where did those come from?" Old Lady Zhou asked, pointing at Zhou Xiuer's ears with her chopsticks.
All eyes turned to look in unison, and Lady Liang blinked several times.
"Auntie gave them to me," Zhou Xiuer said, flaunting her head with pride.
