“No way! He can’t go.” Nanfei was terrified, her right eye twitching all morning. She rather would have tied Jiang Yang with a rope than let him go fishing.

“Nanfei…”

The little rascal, he’s learned to act cute.

Just at that moment, a bunch of kids passed by the door, each screaming at the top of their lungs, “The little fool’s going! He’s going fishing!”

“Little fool, are you going?”

“No!” Nanfei retorted irritably, “The waterside is dangerous, you kids better not go.”

The group of kids sneered at Nanfei’s words, pulling funny faces.

“Coward”.

“The little fool’s sister is a coward.”

Nanfei was so annoyed, she wanted to beat each little rascal with a broom.

“Nanfei.” Jiang Yang’s eyes sparkled, clearly indicating his desire to join, “Catch fish, eat fish.”

With a steely face, Nanfei snatched away the plastic basin from Jiang Yang’s hand and threw it onto the ground, “Dad has already bought fish from the market, we are not going fishing, we’re going to play chess with grandpa. Big sister just brought you a Go game set from the city.”

She had bought many things from the provincial city, most of which were clothes given by Sister Chen. The Go set, a rare thing in the countryside, looked well-received and was for Jiang Yang.

Usually, they played chess, but this time it would be Go.

“Go?”

“Yes, an incredibly fun game of Go.”

“Nanfei…”

“Jiang Yang, will you listen to your sister, please?” Unable to resist, Nanfei stroked his fluffy hair, softly coaxing, “Big sister will teach you how to play Go.”

“Oh!”

The little one eventually settled down, allowed his big sister to take his hand, and obediently went to Granny Huo’s house.

Zhuanzhuan was sweeping the floor at home. Watching them leave, she hurriedly called out, “Sis, what about the laundry at home? I don’t have time to wash them.”

Ever since they started producing tofu, they had been really busy at home. Even with multitasking, she was still overwhelmed.

Without looking back, Nanfei responded, “Leave them there. I’ll wash them when I get back!” Usually, they did laundry by the river, but she figured that using well water would do just fine.

Zhuanzhuan held the broom, a complex glint in her eyes that disappeared quickly.

“Alright then,” she said softly.

Not long after Nanfei left, the telephone in the room rang. Startled, Zhuanzhuan dropped the broom and quickly answered the call.

“Hello, is this my brother-in-law speaking?” She had a hunch that the person calling must be the one who had installed the phone.

“It’s me, Huo Beijiang.”

A deep, pleasant male voice came from the other end. Unseen and untouchable over the phone line, it had a certain compelling quality.

“Hello, Brother-in-law. I am Jiang Nanfei’s sister, Jiang Zhuanzhuan.”

“Hello, Little Sister,” Huo Beijiang’s voice was clearly softer than before, “Is your big sister there? Can she take the phone?”

“Big Sister just took little Brother to Granny Huo’s house.”

“To see my granny?” Huo Beijiang quickly caught the key point, “Why is my granny at your house?”

“Granny Huo was pushed and broke her leg. Without anyone to care for her, she came to our house. She’s been here since the day before yesterday. Nan Fei visits her when she’s free.”

After Zhuanzhuan finished speaking, she heard no response from the other end of the phone for a while. She thought he had hung up! Since she had never used a phone before, this was her first time and was unsure if she should hang up first. Then, Huo Beijiang’s voice came through the receiver.

Each word sharpened like a blade, cutting into the silence.

“Who was so audacious to hurt her? Are they courting death?”

“I… I’m not really sure.”

“Alright, I got it.”

“Should I call my sister then?”

“No need.” Huo Beijiang decisively hung up the phone.

Zhuanzhuan held the phone, and the first thing that popped into her head was – so this is what a hang-up sounds like! She’d know for next time!

Wait, what did brother-in-law mean by ‘no need’?

Why no need?

Many thoughts ran through her mind until it settled on the most probable guess.
