Actually, Xia Qinghe hadn't really thought about it that way before. After all, Fu Yurou was a guest, and it was only right for the host to treat a guest well. But after Xia Qingcao’s remark, she looked at the two of them whispering together, and it did look more like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair. Second Aunt Ling had always felt a bit distant toward her; there was a barrier between them. Feeling a little unsettled, she still said to her younger sister, "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense," Xia Qingcao retorted, unconvinced. "Big sister, I’m just worried you’re being bullied."
Xia Qinghe felt a warmth in her heart. A mother-in-law was not a mother, after all. She knew that Second Aunt Ling hadn’t liked her much since she married into the family. Only one’s own flesh and blood would truly have her best interests at heart and worry about her being mistreated. She truly cherished having such a wonderful sister.
