翻译:
 She knew that her Granny was partial to her aunt so she often expected her to be the judge of their disputes. However, the old lady was cunning. Every time her daughter had trouble with her daughter-in-law, she just said, “A grown-up daughter can’t stay at home all her life,” then wormed her way back to her room to fiddle with her treasures.
