But Dazhuang had to look at this wooden bead every night, and if it was missing, it seemed like he would fall ill, causing a fuss.
Aunt Hong also tried to replace it with another similar bead, but Dazhuang saw through it at once.
Luckily, Dazhuang had kept it in the house for so many years, and no one had ever found it.
Until he got married and handed over that wooden bead to his wife.
Before his wife was taken back to her family, she placed it in the palm of their infant son, Gouwa.
Gouwa cared even more about the wooden bead than Dazhuang did, and Aunt Hong couldn't take it away.
However, Gouwa was always at home, so young and constantly watched by her, it didn't really matter.
It was only today, when she was to bring Gouwa, that the bead fell before everyone.
