Chapter 834 - 833: Heartache
Unexpectedly, Old Granny Zhang, who always had a robust body, fell ill suddenly. This reminded him of Song Chunhua, who often complained about ailments and discomfort in the past. During the days when no one took care of her, she didn’t show any filial piety or have Silver for medicine yet ended up being fine.
In comparison, Song Chongjin grew even more respectful toward Old Granny Zhang.
After Wang Yongzhu came out, the Doctor and the attendant had already returned to their rooms to rest. Old Granny Wu and Old Granny Ding had cleaned up the kitchen and were waiting in the yard for the master’s instructions.
Seeing Wang Yongzhu come out, they hurriedly greeted her.
Wang Yongzhu waved her hand and said, "No need to be so polite! I was careless before and haven’t arranged accommodation for you. Because your arrival was rushed, there wasn’t time to prepare. There’s only one empty room that hasn’t been cleaned for some days. As for bedding, I’ll bring them out for you in a while. You can stay one night first and see what else you need, then I’ll buy them tomorrow."
Old Granny Wu and Old Granny Ding noticed that the room Wang Yongzhu pointed out was right across the courtyard from the Doctor’s room.
Knowing that this arrangement was to avoid suspicion, they thanked her and began cleaning the room with brooms and cloths.
The room, having been vacant for days, had gathered a layer of dust, but cleaning it up wouldn’t take long.
There weren’t many furnishings, just a kang, a table, a cabinet, two stools, and a washstand.
There were also two wooden basins on the rack.
A quick cleaning made the room suitable for living, and it wasn’t small, better than their own rooms, leaving them quite satisfied.
