After waking up, and under the joint pressure of Grandmother, her uncle, and her mother, Ke Xiaohong finally told the story of what happened that night. She also learned from her uncle the name of the person who caused her to fall into the water: Zhou Jiandong.
Regarding Ke Xiaohong's attitude, Zhou Jiandong did not take it to heart. He placed the chicken soup, pastries, and canned fruit he had brought onto the table all at once.
He said indifferently, "It was ultimately my fault that you fell into the water and got a fever. The mistake was mine, so I had to come and check on you.
The flask contains wild chicken soup simmered by my sister. It's quite good, you should drink it while it's hot.
It was my oversight earlier; I didn't realize your health was so poor. When I gave you money at the time, I just thought you could go wash up at a nearby bathhouse. I didn't expect you wouldn't go, and that you'd end up running a fever."
