Ye Ling thought a lot, considering Zhang Zhong might refuse. After all, the horse cart belonged to the production team, not his family, and he couldn’t make the decision on his own. This was normal. However, Ye Ling also thought about the many excuses Zhang Zhong might use to decline, and how to counter them.
But clearly to her surprise, as soon as she spoke, without needing further explanation, Xu Lanxiang was the first to interject, "What happened? How’s the person?"
She urged the still dazed Zhang Zhong sitting on the kang bed, "Why are you sitting there dumbfounded? This is a life-and-death matter. Quickly hitch the cart and take the person to the town."
Zhang Zhong was a straightforward person and always listened to his wife’s words. Only then he hastily got off the bed, put on his shoes, and went outside to hitch the horse cart. Xu Lanxiang stopped Ye Ling from thanking her, "Your grandmother is ill. You should quickly go with your uncle. I’ll get dressed too. Is the money at home enough? If not, I’ll bring some more."
"Auntie, no need, my dad came back today, and there’s enough money at home. Just let your uncle drive the horse cart." Regardless of Xu Lanxiang’s genuine concern, her actions and intentions at this moment made Ye Ling feel warm inside.
Adding flowers to a brocade is not as good as providing coal in the snow. It must be like this.
"Your dad is back? That’s good." Xu Lanxiang also breathed a sigh of relief and urged, "Then don’t waste time. Your uncle’s cart is ready, quickly head to the town. I’ll explain to Captain Wang."
Right now, Ye Ling couldn’t concern herself with anything else, thanked her and quickly left the room.
Si Daochen hesitated whether to follow or return home, but Xu Lanxiang had already laughed and said, "Daochen, you came over for Lingzi’s grandmother’s matter, right? They’re heading to the town with your uncle. You kids won’t be much help. It’s getting late, go home quickly and don’t let your parents worry."
Si Daochen felt less awkward, "Auntie, I’ll head home then."
