If Old Granny Zhang had made a fuss with her, Wang Laozhu might have thought that it was just typical for a woman to make mountains out of molehills.
But seeing as Old Granny Zhang didn't say anything at all, Wang Laozhu felt that the issue must be serious.
After some thought, he signaled Wang Yongzhu with his eyes, "Go see how your mother is doing? Is she feeling unwell?"
Wanting to save face, he found an excuse.
Wang Yongzhu curled her lip, psh, as if she hadn't heard? Playing dumb at a time like this?
Nevertheless, she was worried about Old Granny Zhang too and obediently rose to go inside.
Old Granny Zhang lay on the kang, facing inward, motionless, unknowable in her thoughts.
Wang Yongzhu scooted over and carefully nudged Old Granny Zhang's arm, "Mom, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
