Gu Nuan hadn't heard her parents mention that the two elderly folks back in their hometown were preparing for a long trip. All that could be said is that the elderly couple didn't inform her mom and dad about this journey.
The middle-aged woman accompanying Grandma Gu and Grandpa Gu was someone Gu Nuan remembered—she's the wife of her father's brother, her Second Uncle's wife, the one Gu Nuan calls Second Aunt.
Second Aunt was neatly dressed, her hair styled fashionably and dyed an attractive color, resembling the look of a South Korean housewife.
Gu Nuan recalled that her mom, who had just visited her hometown, mentioned that their Second Uncle's family had recently connected with some decent in-laws.
