At the end of April, a letter from Zhou Xiaozheng caught Zhou Jiao's attention. The tone was as usual, but the content suggested she should hurry back home for a visit.
Worried, Zhou Jiao searched for any hidden details but found nothing suspicious. She didn't know if something was wrong at home. Her mother, Lin Lishan, had been writing to her regularly and hadn't mentioned any changes.
Those involved are often confused, while onlookers see clearly. Just when Zhou Jiao was packing, planning to go to Beijing with her child the next morning, Zhang Guoqing came home from work.

With his father-in-law's way of handling things, it was likely he'd heard some uncertain rumors and didn't even feel safe to write in code. It only showed that while it was urgent, it wasn't too serious; he really just missed his daughter.
