Both of them kept watch over Douzi, who woke up this time in between them, and upon seeing her two grandmothers, felt incredibly aggrieved. Before she could even begin to act cute, tears started falling, prompting the two women to wipe away their tears as well.
Wang Zitan had mentioned before that Douzi had been scared into silence, and this had terrified the two women, who kept trying to talk to her. Fortunately, they found that Douzi was in fact the same as before, still speaking in her milky voice. Although she wasn't too willing to talk, she was still a good child and would answer any question her grandmothers asked.
She wasn't a child who couldn't speak, nor one who would become mute.
