When Jiang Hong heard this, she didn't show any reaction on her face, but she admired her third aunt in her heart.
The third aunt, who used to be honest and blunt, was now lying.
If Jiang Hong believed what Zhou Lan said, she wouldn't be able to explain it to her grandfather later. She put on a thick face and asked, "Really, Aunt? People said that Uncle just came back from outside when I was on my way here. How come he can't get up now because of illness?"
Zhou Lan was muttering in her heart, not expecting Jiang Hong to be so clever, even inquiring about her family's situation on her way over.
But it's true that Jiang Hong is considered a clever child in the old Jiang's family, at least smarter than her own parents.
"You see, it's just bad luck. Your Uncle started feeling ill when he went out, and he can't get up after coming back. Maybe it's more serious because he caught a chill," she explained.
