Old Granny Zhang, in the inner room, heard her daughter's words and hurried into Wang Yongzhu's room. As she watched Wang Yongzhu busily pack, she cautiously asked, "Wasn't it said that Chongjin was fine after taking Lao Shizi's antidote? Why then must you still go deep into the mountains to find a doctor?"
Wang Yongzhu pulled Old Granny Zhang to sit down and briefly explained in a low voice, "With all the commotion today, everyone knows that Song Chongjin's eyes are troubled. If we don't make up an excuse to seek a skilled doctor, how will we explain when his eyes are cured? Besides, Song Chongjin also needs to attend to some matters, so seizing this opportunity to head out is ideal."
Old Granny Zhang, visibly relieved, originally wanted her daughter to stay home—for matters like these, the fewer people who knew the better. After thinking it over, she still nodded in agreement.
