The sister-in-law's large, hefty hand banged loudly on the door.
As I was getting dressed, I tried to appease the sister-in-law by asking, "Sister-in-law, Duoduo has never done farm work. Can I go with her?"
"Of course not!"
The sister-in-law glanced at me and laughed mockingly, "What? Are you worried about what I might do to your precious daughter? You don't trust me, do you?"
I shook my head repeatedly and explained, "No, I'm worried the kid won't behave. You're her aunt; what could you do to her?"
"Then don't waste my time talking!"
The sister-in-law snorted coldly and then grabbed Duoduo abruptly.
"I'm telling you, I'm not your mom; I won't spoil you. Dare to cry, just try it!"
The sister-in-law poked Duoduo on the forehead.
Duoduo wanted to cry in grievance, but when she saw the worried look in my eyes, she somehow managed to give me a smile.
"Mom, don't worry. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Duoduo walked away without looking back.
