After the meal, Ji Huan had Hu Ximei stay behind to chat for a while.
Actually, she had noticed it long ago. Whether it was going to town to set up their stall, the housewarming banquet some time ago, or even further back, the Hu Family had fallen into a fixed pattern: Hu Ximei was always the one left behind to watch the house.
Before, she was responsible for looking after her little nephew and niece, as well as doing the housework. Still, she could at least sneak away for a break now and then. If she wanted to go out and play, she just had to take Xiao'an and Hua with her.
Ever since they brought Granny Xie over, she didn't even have that small bit of time anymore.
Granny Xie was paralyzed and bedridden, unable to care for her own eating, drinking, or toilet needs. Unless someone in the family could take her place, Hu Ximei couldn't go anywhere.
