Lisa then took out a set of CDs and said to Old Lady Manoban, "These are CDs of the drama that you've always liked to watch, so that you don't have to watch it on the TV channels. The channels not only insert advertisements in the middle, but they also censored a great deal of content. This is the uncut version with behind-the-scenes footage at the end of the drama too. They also come with a set of merch and action figures."

Old Lady Manoban took a look. The ceramic figures of the emperor and his queen, the other concubines and eunuchs were all adorable, and she liked them a lot.

There was also a notebook which was exquisitely made to imitate an imperial memorial.

Old Lady Manoban loved all of them and kept them well. Her happiness had still not dissipated by then. "I... I now have a granddaughter-in-law!"

Old Lady Manoban took her phone out and made a call. "Old Shin!"

"..."

"Haha, there's nothing much, just that Lisa has brought his girlfriend home today. Do you want to come over? Have a meal together happily while I introduce my granddaughter-in-law to you."

"..."

"I'm going to call Old Kim and Old Moon among others. I'm not going to bother calling Old Lady Kang, she's at home caring for her great-grandson. The three of you are surely bored anyway because you don't have a granddaughter-in-law or great-grandchildren. Come over!"

"..."

"You don't have time? That's impossible — you don't have a granddaughter-in-law to visit you."

"..."

"Fine. Do you have time tomorrow? I'm taking my granddaughter-in-law to your house for cards."

"..."

"You're busy tomorrow too? You must visit me the day after that. We can watch the drama CDs that my granddaughter-in-law has bought for me!'

"..."

Jennie's face convulsed when she struggled to hold in her mirth. Even she had found the old woman's words quite infuriating; it was hard to imagine just how furious Old Lady Shin on the other end of the phone was.

Old Lady Manoban looked at her phone and said to Old Master Manoban, "Say, why did this Old Shin hang up on me?"

Old Master Manoban thought, 'I would have hung up the phone too if he was Old Lady Shin. How infuriating!'

Old Lady Manoban called her friends one after another to gloat. Of course, aside from Old Lady Kang who had sent her wishes with a smile, the others all hung up on her with an annoyed expression.

Old Lady Manoban did not care. She looked out from the window. "Why are the neighbors not coming yet?"

Old Master Manoban tweaked his beard. He said, "Don't mind her. She has notified people that she'll only be visiting her neighbors on the second day of the New Year because many will visit on the day before. After she'd said so, the neighbors can only visit her today. She's waiting for you to come so that she can show you off to the neighbors."

"And you're not showing off, too? If you don't have the intention, you won't go fishing and return with a tiny fish in your bucket every day, telling everyone that you're catching this to make a dish for your granddaughter-in-law!" Old Lady Manoban aired Old Master Manoban's dirty laundry without reserve. "This went on for a week until you've finally bought a larger fish stealthily from the market. When you came back, you were yelling so loud that everyone in the area knows that the fish is for your granddaughter-in-law. When I went out today, our neighbor Xiao Lim pulled me aside and told me that your voice nearly shocked their old lady into hospitalization and that she had to stay home for a while before she recovered."
