Wang Nan hastily packed her things, frequently coughing loudly.
Even though the Wang family didn't want her to leave, seeing the severity of her cough, they could only give up on persuading her.
Wang Nan coughed continuously throughout the night, seriously disrupting their rest. If the children were to catch it, it would become a big problem.
So, Wang Nan packed efficiently, carrying a bundle that wasn't very big, and remembered how she had arrived packed with large and small bags when she first returned to the city.
Wang Nan really wanted to give herself a good scolding, as she had never seen anyone sillier than herself.
No one was truly sincere with her, yet she insisted on being so foolish.
She carried her belongings downstairs and out the door, and upon meeting familiar neighbors, she simply said she was heading back to the farm.
She didn't offer more explanations, nor did she contemplate how, without her clarification, the Wang family might twist the truth.
