The next day, Zhang's wife's daughter-in-law, Tong, came to Liu Ye'er's shop with a heart full of worry. Seeing her, Liu Ye'er immediately and warmly welcomed the older woman who had traveled from afar. Knowing the purpose of Tong's visit, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, she directly inquired about how things were going with the Zhang family.
Tong let out a soft sigh, her eyes showing a hint of helplessness and anxiety. She spoke slowly: "Life is hard, but bearable. It's just that my husband, consumed by a thirst for vengeance, has gone to the Capital alone. I fear this trip spells doom for him, like a sheep walking into a tiger's den."
Hearing this, Liu Ye'er felt her heart tighten. Tong's husband had risked danger alone for the sake of revenge; this was undoubtedly a high-stakes gamble fraught with peril.
