At the request of Elder Shen, Shen Yunfang sat at the edge of the kang bed in Elder Shen's home and began to discuss some rumors about Shen Yunxiu. Of course, considering the old couple's capacity to handle the news, she only mentioned the more credible rumors, and she emphasized at the end that these were purely rumors and she bore no responsibility for them.
The faces of Elder Shen and his wife darkened as they listened to Shen Yunfang's litany of stories. Elder Shen had returned home while Shen Yunfang was only halfway through.
"Old man, what should we do? Our Yunxiu must be suffering over there." After listening, Elder Shen's wife's tears fell freely, as if they cost her nothing.
Elder Shen remained silent. After all, it was his daughter who had willingly married off; there was little he could do about it.
