Following his wife's account, Lu Jiang had a preliminary understanding of the Zhao Family's situation.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the Zhao's house, they found it deserted, the iron gate shut tight.
"Why is there no one?" Lu Jiang was very suspicious. Unmelted snow was everywhere, most families were avoiding going out, if possible.
Feng Qingxue had visited the Zhao's before. She didn't visit them as often as she went to Uncle Xu's and Aunt Xu's place, but she recognized the Zhao's neighbors. In a rush, she knocked on their doors to ask about the whereabouts of the Zhao's family.
She was worried that Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Guohong would face another political denouncement.
