Mrs. Shen couldn't wait any longer.
"Yun Niang, this won't do. Mother is worried about your second sister. I'm going out to look for Ningxiu right now," Mrs. Shen said as she got up and started to leave, limping heavily.
Although Su Yunjin was also worried, she knew her mother couldn't walk far in her condition without aggravating her leg injury. She stopped her mother, deciding to go look for her second sister and elder brother herself, "Mother, rest at the shop. I'll go find elder brother and Ningxiu," she said, blocking Mrs. Shen.
Su Yunjin left the shop; inquiring outside seemed better than just waiting aimlessly inside. Mrs. Shen had initially wanted to go with Su Yunjin to find Su Ningxiu.
But Mrs. Shen's leg was injured, making it hard for her to take even a single step. Having no choice, she decided to rest at the shop, as Su Yunjin had suggested, and wait for their return.
