Mrs. Yang saw his expression and smiled. "Separating the family just means living in different households. Does that mean I'm no longer your mother? You have to understand, the more people living together, the more easily conflicts arise. Once we've separated, you'll be a guest when you visit, so you'll have to be a bit more mindful of what you say."
There was something else she left unsaid. 'For Juhua's sake, this separation is a must. Who knows what the new daughter-in-law will be thinking? No matter what kind of person she is, it's better to live separately. Not eating from the same pot will bring some peace of mind.'
Juhua also smiled. "We should separate. It's natural for a family to grow and branch out. Besides, we're building our houses right next to each other. Even if our households are separate, we'll still be neighbors. If anything happens, we'll just be a shout away."
