    I found the scene of her returning to her parents' home to both satisfy and cathartic. She had a few gossipy relatives who had initially looked down on her for marrying a "roughneck," subtly criticizing her for marrying above her station. But when Rong Jingshi accompanied her on the return visit, impeccably dressed in his military uniform, displaying impeccable manners, his mere presence commanding respect, instantly silencing the relatives. Even more satisfying was the dinner scene, where a cousin-in-law sarcastically remarked that her "weight gain brought her good fortune," to which he calmly replied, "She's bringing good luck to her husband. My promotion and the allocation of an apartment all happened after she entered the family." The entire table fell silent.
