Dong Daguo died, Dong Liang dropped out of school, and both his grandmother and mother fell ill, overwhelmed by the shock.
Fortunately, Dong Liang's mother, Wang Qiu, was relatively strong. After being sick for over a month, seeing their family's savings depleted and relatives and friends criticizing them for being a disgrace, she got back on her feet. She and her son, Dong Liang, shouldered the family's burden together.
Unfortunately, Dong Liang's grandmother couldn't withstand it. After being ill for more than half a year, she passed away.
