Old Mrs. Gao's face was ghastly pale. She didn't want to believe it.
"That's impossible! How can they have the plague? That's impossible! That's not true!" She shook her head.
"But, Mom…" Gao Mingkun wanted to say something, but the old lady cut him off.
"No one is allowed to talk about it! And you!" She glared at Gao Mingkun. "Don't tell Mingjiang anything after we find him!"
Gao Mingkun said, "Mom, if that's the case, we won't be able to find Brother Mingjiang."
"You!" Old Mrs. Gao hit him with her stick.
But Gao Mingkun remained unperturbed. "Mother, if that's the case, I won't take you to him."
The old lady knew that if Gao Mingkun didn't show them the way, they would never be able to find Gao Mingjiang.
"Are you going to watch your brothers die?!" The old lady was so angry that she was almost in tears.
Gao Mingkun looked from the sorry state of the Gao family to the old lady without saying a word.
