"What happened? How did the child just die like that?" Lin Wan asked Han Yi when she came back in the evening, thinking he might know.
"Yang Wei said the kid was being naughty. His mom was taking care of three kids alone, and for a moment, she couldn't keep an eye on them. The child somehow ended up running to the water pit at the edge of the village alone and fell in."
"Three kids?"
"The other two are his brother's kids."
It's hard not to feel a heavy heart over something like this. No one would have thought that a perfectly fine child would just be gone like that.
The wives in the compound tactfully avoided offering consolation. But Wang Guihua, being so oblivious, ran to Sun Yu and decided to offer some unsolicited advice.
She actually said that if someone is gone, they're gone; they can always have another.
That upset Sun Yu. Knowing full well that Sun Yu had ligation and saying things like that—it was salt in the wound.
