By the time I went home for the weekend, my niece was already better.
At the dinner table, my sister-in-law was still nitpicking about the hospital incident.
"Zhou Yuqiao, what kind of aunt are you! You didn't even come back when your niece was unwell!"
I kept my head down, shoveling food, waiting for the family's judgment to end.
Slowly, I gave my sister-in-law a thumbs up and praised her, "Sis-in-law, I came home this time specifically to check on my niece."
"Kids in our class usually have to lie in bed for five or six days when they're sick. My niece truly embodies the model of an independent woman; she recovered in just two days!"
"Sis-in-law, you really are an excellent teacher!"
Since whatever I said was wrong last time, this time I'll just go along with whatever you say.
My brother seemed a bit incredulous.
"Seriously? Xuanxuan is only behaving because of her education from sis-in-law?"
