The initial dissatisfaction of the eldest and second daughters-in-law instantly vanished upon hearing how Li Baoying had secretly cried at night because she was married far away and unable to return home for over a decade, replaced by a wave of guilt.

With the eldest and second sisters-in-law falling silent, Li Baoying tugged at her youngest son's sleeve. "Alright, your sisters-in-law understand. I can see you didn't sleep well last night and have zero energy today. Go catch up on some sleep, and we'll head home tomorrow."
