"Not just the children, we must all keep our lips sealed," the old man Hua looked at his wife and daughter-in-law.
Women typically love to gossip, though his own wife and daughter-in-law were relatively restrained, he felt the need to emphasize the point.
As expected, no sooner had he spoken than his wife returned his words with a stern glare.
"Do you think we are gossip-mongers?" The old lady Hua couldn't help but shoot back.
"Not at all, I was just reminding you, knowing you are very tight-lipped." The old man hurriedly accompanied his words with a smile as his wife showed her temper.
"Hmph," the old lady let it slide.
How could she not know what her husband meant, it was just a habitual retort.
"Dad, don't worry, as your daughter-in-law, I understand the importance of this matter," Qi quickly assured.
"Hmm, as long as everyone understands," the old man finally felt relieved.
"Grandpa, the salt..." Second Brother Hua was anxious.
