The three older sisters didn't give their younger brother a friendly look.
Zhang Ailan, in particular, had just argued with Zhang Xuewu a few days ago. She deliberately turned her face away and said, "Where's Dad? This is his 70th birthday. We should at least find a five-star hotel. Why do we have to celebrate here?"
Zhang Zhaodi quickly added, "That's right, Xuewu! Let me tell you, we came here with our mouths, not to cook!"
Lanlan then spoke up, "Mom, how about we book a restaurant? My boyfriend is the deputy director, and he often eats out. There's a really nice five-star hotel near their hospital! Shall I call him now and have him make a reservation?"

Zhang Ailan nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Xuewu, where's your wife?"
Zhang Xuewu replied, "Her younger brother has been sick recently, and she's been taking care of him at the hospital!"
