Mrs. Wang arrived at Old Mrs. Qin's room just as she was happily playing with the two sons that Mrs. Gu had brought over, Ping'an.
"Big sister," greeted Mrs. Gu, as she came over and curtsied.
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "You've come too."
"The weather is nice today, so I thought I'd bring Brother Ping and Brother An to pay their respects to mother," said Mrs. Gu, holding her hand as they approached Old Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Wang curtsied first, then turned to the two little ones, noticing their rosy complexions and lively spirits, showing no signs of their premature birth anymore, and said, "I haven't seen them in a while, Brother Ping and Brother An have gained some weight and look energetic. You've worked hard, third sister-in-law."
Mrs. Gu said, "It's not my doing. The family has provided for them generously. Xixi also came up with a medicinal bath recipe to strengthen their bodies. That's why they've grown strong."
Her words carried a sense of gratitude and relief.
