Zhang the Second, Zhang Guoqiang, was with his parents outside the courtyard. When the carriage finally disappeared, he led his parents back home.
"The heart of parents is always for their children"—although he couldn't understand why his parents backed down and didn't go to the county, he sympathized with their parental concerns; otherwise, he wouldn't have stood with them foolishly in the strong wind.
Mr. and Mother Zhang followed them home, and Lin Juhua skillfully brought out the tray, letting Mr. Zhang smoke on the kang. She also unwrapped snacks for Mother Zhang to eat.
"Enough, stop fussing. Your mother-in-law isn't an outsider, save some for Shi Tou," said Mother Zhang, smiling happily as she watched her daughter-in-law bustling around.
Seeing this, Lin Juhua glanced at her father-in-law and husband on the kang, seeing them discussing whether to move, and she went to sit beside Mother Zhang to see what the elders had to say.
