Since the matter had implicated the Jin family, there was barely any conjecture on the news.
Too grief-stricken to have any proper meals, Mrs. Shi lost a significant amount of weight in just three days. Only after Mr. Shi had been lowered into the burial grounds did Shi Shaochuan hear about the process of his death from his Mother.
"Your Father was taking a bath when it happened. I got out of the bed to get him a towel like he had requested. Just as I was about to enter the bathroom, I heard a loud shriek coming from inside. By the time I entered, your father was already passed out on the ground," Mrs. Shi explained.
After a few moments of silence, Shi Shaochuan answered, "Mother, Father may be gone, but you still have me. You have to stay strong for my sake."
"I'm fine, it's just a great blow to me. Go look after your Grandma, she's advanced in years and may not be able to take such news well. Do try your best to comfort and console her," said Mrs. Shi.
