After seeing off Wang Lianfa and his wife, and shooing the children back to their rooms to sleep, Wang Liansheng tidied up the courtyard before returning to his room. He found that his wife was still awake, leaning against the headboard with a book in her hand.
"It's late, let's sleep," Wang Liansheng said as he took off his shoes and got into bed.
But Ling Chengyan didn't immediately put down her book. Instead, she said, "Should we go back to the county and ask about the situation?"
She knew that Wang Liansheng cared about family very much. The second branch of the Wang Family had driven him away, forcing him to regard his uncle, aunt, and two cousins as family. His elder cousin was facing difficulties, and Wang Liansheng was surely concerned.
"I'll call to inquire tomorrow first," Wang Liansheng said as he leaned over to tuck in the small mosquito net around his son. He turned back to comfort his wife, "Don't worry, big brother will be alright."
