After a great deal of persuasion, Granny Jin, having just survived a life-and-death ordeal, finally saw reason. She agreed to live at the shop and go to the hospital for a check-up once the weather improved.
"I'll pay rent to Xiao Shen from now on," Granny Jin said. She had her principles. They weren't family; at most, they were merely acquaintances.
The young lady was being considerate of a lonely old woman, and she couldn't take advantage of her age. She had to know her place.
"Alright. Granny, you can just pay the same rent I did for the room I used to lease."
"Xiao Shen, you..."
"Alright, alright, it's settled then." Shen Lu didn't want to drag this out any longer. 'Why insist on being so formal about it?'
'Never mind one Granny Jin, she could afford to support ten of them now.'
Two days later, the winds had finally begun to subside.
