"Don't get me started. Ever since you suggested that last time, my old man hasn't been forcing me to study but now he's forcing me out the door to visit relatives. He keeps saying that he's getting old and that all these social obligations will be passed on to me in the future! Since the first day of the New Year, I've had no rest. I've visited all the relatives in town, and now only those in Jing County and my maternal family remain. He's insisting I go."
Wu Zhongbao spoke as if he was helpless, but in fact, he was quite happy. Visiting relatives was at least better than being forced to study.
Song Chongjin listened to him, gave Wu Zhongbao a very sympathetic glance, and said nothing.
Wang Yongzhu saw this and, without showing her thoughts, continued to make small talk, "That works out well. We're also going to Jing County. We can travel together; it's good to have company on the road."
