As there were many elderly and children around, Tan Rou and her group had to wait a long time before a young couple came for a walk with their twin son and daughter.
The father carried the son, while the mother held the daughter. They were walking just fine when suddenly, the mother received a phone call that seemed to be from a friend, inviting her to go shopping right away.
The young mother glanced at her husband and children, then said, "No, I don't have time today, let's go another time."
Her friend sounded a bit angry, and Tan Rou could hear her friend's raised voice even through the phone.
"I'm sorry, I've been too busy lately, really don't have the time to go out with you," the young mother apologized.
Her friend was really angry and hung up the phone before she could finish speaking.
