"Why is Father working the fields at his age? Aren't my elder brother and sister-in-law at home either?"
Mrs. Qin-Li lifted her eyelids slightly and then let them droop again, "They've both gone to the town to take on short-term jobs and haven't returned."
"I see..."
Su Pan'er didn't say much. She understood the characters of her elder brother and sister-in-law well; both were very filial and respectful towards their elders. The thought of them leaving to take on short-term jobs while leaving their parents was indeed quite surprising to her.
Mrs. Qin-Li did not continue the conversation, and Su Pan'er had nothing else to say. Yan Yan stood by Su Pan'er's side, curiously gazing at the old granny in front of her without speaking.
Fortunately, it wasn't too long before the sound of footsteps approached from outside the courtyard. Soon after, Old Qin appeared at the entrance of the main hall, carrying a shovel on his shoulder.
"The youngest son's family is back!"
