Wang Yongfu lay on the kang, and by afternoon, he was intermittently peering out the window toward the courtyard gate.
Until the sky had darkened, he still hadn't seen Jindou, Lady Lin, or Jinguan.
He immediately became anxious and urged Jinhoo to go take a look at the entrance of the village.
But Jinhoo didn't move, no matter how much Wang Yongfu urged, only responding, "Maybe Eldest Uncle Lin's family, seeing that big brother hasn't visited for a long time, asked him to stay the night, and he will return tomorrow. You're alone in the house with no one to take care of you; I'm not at ease either!"
She simply refused to go out.
Wang Yongfu had no choice but to give up, yet he always felt like something wasn't right, his heart restless and uneasy.
He hardly had any appetite for dinner.
Not until the entire family had finished washing up and were about to go to bed did the courtyard door get urgently rapped.
