Chapter 609 - 607: Of Course One Must Go
Jinhoo was stunned for a moment before saying, "Thank you for your trouble, please come in and take a seat for a while. I’ll call my master out," she said as she invited the visitor into the yard and poured him a glass of water, staying by his side.
Meanwhile, she sent Jindou to inform their family.
Before long, the entire family had gathered in the main house’s courtyard.
Even though they had split their household, they were all still used to consulting Wang Yongzhu on everything.
Jinhoo, upon seeing Wang Yongzhu stand up first, said, "Auntie, this uncle says he comes from the county town, conveying a message from someone in Qi City. They say our Grandfather has fallen ill there, that he is bedridden and cannot get up, and that we should go to see him."
At these words, everyone was shocked. Though he did not like Wang Yongan, Wang Laozhu was very filial. He immediately asked with concern, "Is it so serious just from not acclimating to the local environment? Has he seen a doctor? Is it serious?"
The man replied with a simple smile, scratching his head, "I’m really sorry, I’m just the messenger; that’s the message they sent, and that’s all I know."
First, Wang Yongzhu thanked the messenger and then gave him twenty large coins before sending him on his way.
Back inside, everyone’s eyes were on Wang Yongzhu.
Wang Yongping couldn’t contain his anxiety, "Little sister, we must go and see Dad. He can’t even get out of bed; could it be that he might..." The rest of the sentence was left unsaid, but everyone understood the implication.
Wang Yongfu nodded in agreement, "That’s right, if Dad is sick, we as his children must go see him. Otherwise, wouldn’t that be too unfilial?"
