Lu Jiao smiled and headed outside.
Before she got out of the room, she heard chaotic footsteps coming from outside the trellis. Amongst the messiness were words of comfort.
Lu Jiao went out and found a group of people headed her way. The one leading the group was the third grandma. Beside her was a lady who was rather short.
The lady was around 30 years old and had a face similar to the third grandma. She was fragile and small and appeared exhausted. Her eyes were swollen red, which made it obvious that she's been crying for a while.
Lots of people followed them. Lu Jiao thought they must be from the same family. Of course, a few elders from the Xie Village tagged along as well.
The moment the third grandma saw Lu Jiao, she grabbed her hand, "Jiaojiao, come and tell me what's wrong with Xiaoyu."
Lu Jiao knew right away the kid, Xiaoyu, was sick. She gestured for the person with the child to come forward.
