Lady Chen was taken aback at once; this involved reconstructing the entire house. The mother-in-law's house was attached to her elder sister-in-law's house, which meant they would have to demolish and rebuild those houses too.
Wasn't this asking for too much?
At least this time, Lady Chen was smart enough not to agree outright but tactfully said, "Mother, A Wan is in charge of this matter. You must listen to her opinion; I can't speak on her behalf."
"What? You, as the mother, can't even promise this little thing? No wonder you can't even manage your own daughter."
Lady Chen was unsure how to respond when a voice replied, "What my mother said is right; I won't agree to this. You two should leave now."
