After reading the letter, Mother Zhang burst out crying as she covered her face. Father Zhang could only comfort his wife and said, "Wife, why are you crying? Shouldn't you be happy that our daughter has a good husband and in-laws?"
Hearing this, Mother Zhang nodded and quickly wiped away her tears. After calming down, she said hoarsely, "Husband, let's go to the town tomorrow before the weather turns cold."
"Alright."
"I will keep the money away and prepare lunch," she added.
"Wife, I will help you," Father Zhang said before the two of them went to the kitchen.
Since today's separation was triggered by Zhang Erlang's wife trying to steal money and being caught by Zhang Sanlang's wife, they didn't dare to leave the door open.
So, before going to the kitchen, Mother Zhang locked her bedroom and carried the key with her. She would tie the keys together and make them into a necklace. This way, she wouldn't have to worry about losing the keys.
