When Grandma Sun saw Gu'er return, she asked what they had said.
Gu'er didn't dare tell her everything. She only said that Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun had decided to discuss it again after some time, and that Aunt Sun said they would wait for Brother Jia Ming to come back.
Grandma Sun knew Gu'er was sugarcoating it; the reality was surely much harsher.
But by now, Grandma Sun had recovered. It had been like this for years, and her heart had long grown cold. It was just that seeing her son earlier had given her a flicker of hope, only for it to lead to even greater disappointment.
"Gu, when your Brother Jia Ming gets back, even if he refuses, that Cao Qiu will definitely force him. He's their son. If things get too ugly, I'm afraid people will call him unfilial. So, when your Brother Jia Ming comes home, if the situation gets out of hand, I need you to go and get a few people for Grandma. Can you do that?"
Grandma Sun already had a plan.
"Okay. Who should I get?"
