"Mmm-hmm," Zhang Caiyun replied with a smile.
As they chatted, Lian Manman caught the aroma of frying and oil from outside, indicating that the Lu Family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were preparing the meal. At this moment, saying they won't stay for dinner would simply appear insincere and distant.
Lian Zhizhi handed Dabao over to Lady Wu Wang.
"Mom, I'm going to help," Lian Zhizhi said.
"Go ahead," Lady Wu Wang and Lady Zhang nodded in agreement.
Lian Zhizhi turned and left, stopping in the outer room to put on the apron Zhang Caiyun usually wore, before heading to the Upper Room.
"It's reassuring to see the two sisters living close to each other," Lady Zhang Wang remarked, as she put on her shoes and got up to help with the meal.
However, not long after they went over, the Eldest Sister-in-law of the Lu Family firmly sent them back, saying they should keep Zhang Caiyun company since they already had enough help in the kitchen.
