“Now that the old village chief is actually going to follow you, I really don’t believe you’ll get away with it if something happens to you on the way. Besides, you still want to go to the commune. Everyone in the village knows that day that you knew your son and daughter-in-law weren’t going to the hospital, but you still lied to the brigade. If you get to the commune, and they say you knew something and were an accomplice, they might just arrest you too. If I were you, I would go back first, pack up your things, just in case.”

Xu Keke had to admit that Cui Qin's cooking was indeed as delicious and fragrant as Xiao Douzi had described. Xu Keke had lunch at the old village chief's house and stayed there for a while before returning to Ma Yuying's house.
