Wang Ning left in a huff, taking their daughter back to her parents' house.
It was only when Mrs. Li returned home that she found out her daughter-in-law had taken her granddaughter back to her parents' home.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li knew something was wrong, and that the news must have reached her daughter-in-law.
It seemed like everything was going wrong all at once, just like an incessant downpour on a leaky house, or a headwind slowing down an already lagging ship.
"What are we going to do now, dear?"
Mrs. Li asked her husband as she looked around the empty house.
"That ungrateful boy, I could just kill him."
Mr. Li was panting with rage. The incident with the Qins was bad enough, and now this. The Lis had lost all face.
"He's our only child, how can you say something like that?"
Although Mrs. Li was angry, she couldn't bear to yell at their only son.
