Mrs. Li did not choose to retort. She only thought about family harmony and prosperity, chickens and eggs, and given the current affluent state of their family, it was not as if they couldn't afford it.
It didn't mean she was weak, it was entirely for her husband and children, to maintain such kinship, even if that kinship was somewhat indifferent.
Mrs. Li looked up at her husband and nodded at her mother-in-law, and then instructed her daughter to make sure her sisters looked after their brother.
The five sisters did not receive their mother's guidance; they went to meet their younger cousin and didn't express any opinions!
Ye Shiqi and her sisters actually felt the same way. The second aunt, along with the eldest and third aunts, did not show much affection towards them.
