“Mother, when they leave, we’ll leave too. Please don’t open the door for them, Father. They’re not reasonable people.”
"Tingting, she is Dabao's mother after all, and it's so cold."
"Mother, don't pay any attention to her now. Let her be smug. Just ignore her. Even my second brother went to look for her, but she didn't come back."
“If you were scared at the time, that would be understandable, but now that my mother is better and awake, she hasn’t come to see me even once to apologize. That’s too much.”
“Let’s teach her a lesson. She’s quite formidable, bringing a lot of people with her. They’re all freezing outside now. Let’s see how formidable she is then.”
"Sister-in-law, you and brother shouldn't open the door for her either. Let's see what she does."
"Okay, Tingzi, you did the right thing this time. You really got your revenge. You went too far."
"Yeah, that's right, what else is there to say?"
"Alright, they're gone, let's go back and cook."
Guo Ersao's family returned home and settled in. They knew where all the food was, made some porridge, and prepared to visit Old Mrs. Guo again the next day.
Everyone's holding their breath, since it's freezing cold during the day and no one's come to open the door.
Only now can Guo Ersao truly understand what it felt like when Guo Erge came to her house and waited for so long without anyone opening the door.
She was feeling uneasy. Guo Dabao wasn't home, and neither was her husband. If they said they went to the hospital, it must be true.
I was very anxious and didn't sleep well all night.
The next day, the family continued to look for Old Mrs. Guo. After all, Old Mrs. Guo was not someone to be trifled with, and Jianjun's family had many children, so they had no choice but to go to Old Mrs. Guo.
"Open the door! Open the door for me! I know you're home, but where's my baby?"
"Hey, isn't this Sister-in-law Guo? I haven't seen you for days! What have you been up to?"
Looking at them, Guo Ersao knew they were just there to watch the fun, so she ignored them.
"You don't know, I heard that I went back because I was so upset by Old Mrs. Guo. How could I possibly come back now?"
"That's right. If it were me, I'd be embarrassed. My face would turn neither red nor white."
"That's right, it's interesting. Sister-in-law Guo, your son Dabao was sick. I saw Jianjun and your husband taking him to the hospital."
"Aren't you going to go see him? The child was delirious with fever."
Guo Ersao found their words offensive no matter how she tried to put them, and she wanted to retort.
But when I heard how serious Da Bao's condition was, I lost all interest in anything else and just wanted to see Da Bao.
"Guo Ersao is now banging on the door, trying to get them to open it and get some answers."
Tingting and the others were also inside, and even when they tried to break the door with stones, no one opened it.
No matter how much they shouted, no one paid any attention to them. Anyway, the weather was cold, so they figured they could stay there as long as they could.
"Mom, what should we do? Da Bao is sick now, and they still won't open the door."
"Go find your captain. Nobody cares anymore. Now that your captain is here, they'll definitely give you face. Let's go."
"Uncle Guo, Uncle Guo, please help me."
Guo Ersao is now crying and shouting to get people to pity her. The neighbors have already heard about this and have all come out to see what's going on.
"What's wrong? Didn't you go back to your parents' house?"
When Guo Ersao heard Uncle Guo ask this question, she knew that they already knew, and she felt ashamed.
But she still forced herself to say, "Uncle Guo, whatever my issues with the Guo family may be, Da Bao is innocent."
“That child is so pitiful. I heard she was sick, so I came to see her, but the Guo family won’t open the door.”
"Uncle, please help us."
“Da Bao got a referral letter from me a few days ago and went to a hospital in the city. You can’t see him in the village.”
"Uncle Guo, I know we can't see them from here, but we don't know which hospital it is, which way to go, or where they are."
“I’m worried. I can’t sleep well at night because I can’t see him. I don’t know how Da Bao is doing.”
Seeing how pitiful Guo Ersao sounded, I thought about it and realized she was right.
The child is sick, and what mother wouldn't worry? So she decided to go to the Guo family to explain things to them.
Is Aunt Guo home?
"Mom, this looks like the team leader. We should open the door. It wouldn't be good if we didn't, since he helped us a lot back then, regardless of anything else."
"You're quite resourceful today. Go open the door; we still have to give Uncle Guo face."
"Okay, Mom, I'll go open the door now."
"Wait a minute, let's go outside. Don't upset your grandma. Let them come to our house and talk about it."
"Ting, Mother is fine now. Let them come in and talk."
“Mother, there are so many of them, and they’re being unreasonable. We’ve just recovered from our illness, so there’s no need to listen to what they have to say. After we leave, please close the door properly and don’t worry about us.”
"Okay, then you all better watch yourselves and speak properly."
"Okay, Mom."
