Qian Sheng immediately said, "Stop it now. What do you have? You're just a farmer with a lousy job? You don't even have a lousy job. Besides, what is your eldest daughter-in-law's job? She's the deputy county head. You know what that position is without me having to explain it. You're going to make her lose her job just for the baby in her belly?

She didn't sleep well yesterday because your eldest brother and sister-in-law were leaving. You can make breakfast. When it's ready, keep it warm in the pot for your mother."
