Bu Ling and the other woman didn't stand on ceremony. They smiled ingratiatingly at Ming Xiangru and went inside. As Ming Xiangru closed the door, she glanced at the neighbors peeking around, feeling utterly helpless. She closed the door and turned to go back inside.
"Buling, Yuanyuan, please sit down. I'll pour you some water." Ming Xiangru brought out two stools and gave them to the two girls.
"No need, no need, Sister Xiangru, don't bother. We just drank a lot of water, and we can hear the water sloshing around in our stomachs." Buling quickly waved her hand.
Wu Yuanyuan also said, "That's right, Sister Xiangru, let's just sit for a while!"
Ming Xiangru weighed the thermos in her hand, then had no choice but to give up. She sat down next to the two of them and fell silent.
The only sound in the room was the breathing of the three people.
This made the sounds from the next room very clear, and the three of them acted in unison, their ears all perked up.
In another room, Grandma Qi poured water for everyone with trembling hands, then sat back down next to Grandpa Qi.

Those on Hu Sigu's side exchanged glances upon hearing this idea, but it was Hu Sigu's sister-in-law who finally spoke up: "Will everyone believe it? And what about those people from the Revolutionary Committee? Will they let them off the hook?"
Grandpa Qi smiled confidently: "You don't need to worry about that. Our family has its own way of handling it."
Seeing Old Master Qi's confident demeanor, Hu Sigu's wife couldn't help but ask, "Does your family know anyone in the Revolutionary Committee?"
Grandpa Qi smiled mysteriously and didn't say anything.
Seeing the old man's expression, the Hu family knew that he wouldn't say anything more. "Alright, we'll wait for good news from the old man. We'll talk again when the two of them come out."
Grandpa Qi kept smiling!
