Taotao threw herself into her mother's arms, sobbing. Supporting Fugui, Sanlang said, "Aunt, I think my brother-in-law needs to lie down. You should quickly clear a space for him."
Just then, the Old Madam came out from the doorway. She squinted at Taotao. "Is that Taotao?"
Taotao rushed forward again, hugging the Old Madam and crying, "Grandma, I thought I'd never see you again!"
Ms. Qian opened the door to the side room next to the Old Madam's quarters. "Sanlang, help your brother-in-law in here to lie down."
Xing'er glanced over but said nothing. This was her room now. 'Looks like I'll have to go back to sharing a bed with Grandma again,' she thought.
Sanlang helped Fugui inside and onto the bed. Taotao went in to cover him with the quilt before coming back out.
Seeing Taotao emerge, Ms. Qian suddenly remembered something and grabbed her. "Oh, right! Where are my two grandsons?"
Taotao covered her face. "Mother, please don't ask. They're gone."
