How could Mrs. Gao dare? Everyone in the Chen Family Village, no matter who they were, couldn't get away with being frivolous in front of Old Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Gao quickly said, "I'm just worried about you getting tired from sitting in the carriage for such a long journey. You need a good rest so we don't have to worry. Our whole Chen Family Village relies on you."
Although Mrs. Gao's words were meant to please Old Mrs. Chen, she truly thought this way. Don't be fooled by Old Mrs. Chen's short stature and thin frame; she's an indispensable figure in Chen Family Village. As long as she's there, everyone feels at ease.
Old Mrs. Chen felt comforted by these words. Mrs. Gao was becoming more eloquent, unlike before when she would often cry secretly when Yongsheng had not returned. Even after he came back injured, she cried frequently in public and in private, constantly worrying about how to save enough food for her husband and son.
