Zhang Guifen had been worried all day. Only when Li Xiulan returned did she quietly tell her about the matter. She had run into them today while accompanying Grandma to the hospital for a checkup.
"Mom, don't worry. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. We made everything perfectly clear back then, and besides, the Zhang family probably doesn’t even have the time to come looking for us. Furthermore, with both old people gone now, what excuse could they possibly have to cause trouble? I’ve had someone look into it; Zhang Peng never kicked his gambling habit after he got out. When he returned, he stole all the money in the house and nobody knows where he went. In short, he’s been missing for years—who knows if he’s dead or alive."
Old Mr. and Mrs. Zhang had passed away only a few years after that. Toward the end, they always felt that it was the bad deeds they had committed that brought misfortune upon their descendants. They had wanted to move their ancestors' graves back to their hometown, though, for some reason, they later insisted on being buried there themselves before they died.
