Wang Dashuan visited that day, accompanied by Shen Yougen, and brought along some gossip from Gaijiatun.
After asking Dashuan about Yunfang's situation a few days prior, and learning that she needed hospitalization due to a fall and to preserve her pregnancy, the old man went home intending to beat Yunxiu with a broom. Of course, the old lady stopped him. Yunxiu's child was just over half a year old and still breastfeeding. If Yunxiu got upset and lost her milk, the child would suffer most.
Later, no one knew how things escalated, but the old man insisted that Yunxiu and her husband move out. If they had nowhere to live, they could move into their former house at the production team. He was firm that a married daughter could not live at her parents' home permanently.
Yunxiu, heartbroken, cried with her son in her arms and wept to her own mother. She didn't want to leave. She had not anticipated things getting so serious. Had she known, she wouldn't have been so neglectful.
