Uncle Nian was completely at ease, carrying the unique benevolent smile of an elder, "Yuyu, Xiaochu, please have a seat."
Nian Yuyu did not want to get involved in the bickering between her mom and her grandaunt and was just about to slip away to the dining room with Chu You, when she happened to meet her mother's gaze.
She froze for a moment, then she and Chu You sat down at the very edge of the sofa.
Aunt Nian chatted with Father Nian and Mother Nian for a bit, then went to the kitchen to help Uncle Nian.
As soon as she left, Grand Aunt Nian and Mother Nian dropped all pretense, their gazes clashing and sparking fire.
Grand Aunt Nian spoke with smug satisfaction, "The countryside is just wonderful, though a bit backward, but the air is fresh, the scenery beautiful, and the farmhouse food is delicious."
Mother Nian couldn't stand her showing off and deliberately spoke in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, you really have it easy over there."
