In fact, Zhang the Second guessed wrong. Mother Zhang was the only one who clearly knew the truth.
But she chose to conceal it and decided to discuss it later with her youngest son.
Zhang Guoqing deliberately came back early from work and saw his mother sitting there in a daze. He quickly scooted beside her, "Mom, how about your youngest son accompanies you for a walk?"
"Sure, we won't go far, just walk around nearby?"
Zhang Guoqing was secretly surprised by her words, but only paid attention to her expression. Smiling, he took one of her coats and supported her out the door.
"Mom, why didn't you ask Ping'an and the others to take you out for a walk?"
"Those three have been quite busy these days, one moment accompanying your dad visiting people, the next with your second brother. Just after May 1st, they were chatting with me, and I urged them to go read instead."
"Mom, we'll take you for a walk nearby this weekend."
