After seeing off the Ping Family's eldest young master and his wife, Zhou Lian slowly finished washing up and went to the bedroom. She let out a soft sigh. 'What an exhausting day.' She couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for her husband. He had been living like this every day for so many years, taking care of the children, supporting the family, worrying about friends and relatives back home, and, most importantly, looking after her day in and day out. 'Where on earth does he get so much energy?' Zhou Lian gave a wry smile. 'He must just be forcing himself to hold on.'
'They should have arrived by now. I wonder what things are like back home.' Still, she knew Li Xiu would handle all the family matters when he got there. With the understanding they shared from two lifetimes together, Li Xiu should grasp why she had urged him to return to their hometown and stay for an extended period.
