Chapter 186: The Heart of a Man (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Wang Yongzhu was speechless. To those unaware, they might think something had happened to her. Big brother was about to pass away, and Old Granny Zhang didn’t shed a tear. Yet here she was, merely accompanying him to town on a nocturnal trek and crying her eyes out.
Despite her disdainful words, her heart melted into a puddle, and she felt tears unwillingly falling from her eyes. After a thought, she stopped, turned back and yelled, "Mom, don’t worry, I promise to come back safe and sound, and I’ll even bring back an obedient son-in-law for you to meet!"
Old Granny Zhang’s weeping abruptly ceased and after a long pause, a faint voice replied, "Mom is waiting—"

After only a few steps, they saw upfront Wang Yongping and another cousin, both carrying Wang Yongfu, stumble, nearly dropping Wang Yongfu in the process.
Jindou and Jinhoo rushed over in alarm, barely managing to steady him.
