She used to resent them for being biased, always considering her older brother and sister, and arranging such a disastrous marriage for her. But a few years ago, her older brother returned, revealing that their parents had passed away during the difficult years of exile.
He Lan felt even more pained, as she didn't even know where her parents' graves were. She could only secretly burn some joss paper at the alley entrance, seeking some psychological comfort.
"If you get a chance in the future, you can go to your parents' graves to pay your respects."
He Lan nodded lightly, saying, "I know. I just felt a bit upset today, thinking of them like this. But I'm fine."
After a pause, she seemed to recall something, pulling Zhao Guihua aside and whispering, "The two idiots next door, I don't know what schemes they're plotting. Today, I saw them whispering in the courtyard, pointing at your windows and roofs. You should be careful."
"Idiots" here refer to Guan Hong and Zheng Huimin.
