"Lingling, I’ve finished the punishment. Tell her yourself what you want her to do."
The old lady turned toward Zhang Ling, prompting her to state her terms. Before arriving, Zhang Ling had been prepared to make a scene at her mother-in-law’s natal home. However, the old lady was scrupulously fair and did not favor her daughter-in-law just because they were closer. There was no room for Zhang Ling to kick up a fuss. She accepted the old lady's disciplinary measures.
