After the aunt and the others had finished cleaning up the kitchen, they left. When Han Dongchen came back, Su Xiaowan was getting dressed to go over.
Han Dongchen hurried forward to stop Su Xiaowan and said, "Don't worry, it was just a rat. It was sneaking around for food and it knocked over the plate."
"Your aunt, they came and got such a fright they screamed right out. They're okay now, it should be cleaned up soon. I came back first as I was afraid you'd be scared. Go back to sleep."
Han Dongchen trivialized Song Yongmei into a rat, if she found out, she would surely go crazy. But obviously, Song Yongmei would never know.
Having heard Han Dongchen's words, Su Xiaowan believed him. After removing the coat that she'd draped over herself, she let out a sigh of relief and said, "A rat? Oh, it scared the hell out of me. I thought something bad had happened."
"But when did we get a rat in our house? How big is it? How many are there?"
