With that, the Troop Leader's wife was ready to leave.
Lin Xiangwan quickly grabbed her hand, tears streaming down her face. "Sister-in-law, even if the children's schooling can be solved, there are other issues. They both suffer from some congenital diseases. Both children frequently have spasms, they need medication to control it. There is no medicine here, no emergency measures. What am I supposed to do if they have an attack?"
The two children, who had been doing their homework nearby, stopped on their tracks, staring at each other in confusion.
Tongtong stared at her brother, looking particularly worried. She whispered her question. "Are you having spasms? When did that happen?"
Ranran shook his head, clearly puzzled. "I'm not having spasms. Sister, are you?"
"It's you, not me." Tongtong shot her brother a glare.
Ranran looked even more confused, then the two children turned to look at their mother. They realized then that their mum was lying.
