That was true. Going back and forth would waste time. If they missed the golden window, Granny Guo would be beyond saving.
Jie Jingshan smiled, but not out of smugness. She wasn't a fool; her fourth sister-in-law was just trying to reassure her. It was all just a coincidence. What mattered most was that her sister-in-law had saved Granny Guo.
"Jing Qi, have you eaten?" Qin Mei's gaze flickered as she looked at the Beggar's Chicken wrapped in brown paper in Jie Jingshan's hands. The food at Second Aunt's house was still untouched on the table. They had heard Ma's mother's shouts before they could eat and had rushed over to save Granny Guo, forgetting all about their meal.
The scene had been too chaotic. Since Granny Guo lived alone, Second Aunt was worried and stayed to watch over her, paying no mind to eating.
"I haven't," Jie Jingshan answered honestly, shaking her head.
