Ningning is Zhou's childhood name.
"Oh dear, I fell by accident," she said, naturally too embarrassed to say that she had been hit. "My second son's wife gave birth to a daughter, so it's not worth it for my in-laws to make a trip and spend so much money."
Fang Qing was pushed aside by the old woman.
This is Zhou's mother, a very dignified-looking woman. Upon hearing the old woman's words, the smile on her face instantly vanished, and a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.
He doesn't look like someone who's easy to bully.
"Buying things for my daughter is not considered a waste of money."
The old woman was completely oblivious to the change in the other person's expression, greedily glancing at the two large baskets every now and then.
Hearing the commotion, Zhao came out of the kitchen and greeted Zhou's mother.
Unbeknownst to everyone, Fang Qing lifted the red cloth and looked inside.
"Oh, it's eggs. Didn't my grandma say that girls aren't allowed to eat eggs? Last night she made my aunt eat cornbread with pickled vegetables."
The child's innocent voice made Mrs. Zhou turn around, and the old woman's face turned very unpleasant.

The old woman gave Fang Qing a warning look.
Madam Zhou understood everything, so she stopped with the pleasantries.
"Our custom is that daughters go back to their parents' home to recuperate after childbirth. I noticed that Ningning was not being taken care of at the Fang family's house, so I took her away this time. Also, even if our Zhou family were to give away all our wealth, we would never feed money to heartless people!"
Madam Zhou flung her sleeves and went into the east room, clearly furious.
