After more rambling, Nanzhi finally left the room satisfied, hopping along with her crutch.
This matter needed time.
Once she left, the river clam in the wooden basin breathed a sigh of relief.
Then it felt somewhat gloomy again.
Why had it transformed back into this state?
No one in the Lin Family knew about the river clam's distress in the backyard as they slept soundly.
The only ones were two old hens in the chicken coop, staring blankly with their beady eyes.
The next day, the Lins didn't go to the North Market. Father Lin took his two sons to work at the carpentry shop. The Lin women and children stayed home to rest.
Since Nanzhi had injured her foot, Shen Zhiyu and Lin Zihan carried a chair and put it in the yard for her to lie down and sunbathe.
The three boys also sat in the yard studying, while Yuanbao snuggled up to Nanzhi and dozed off.
