Contagious (2)

Old Mrs. Gao's face was ghastly pale. She didn't want to believe it.1

"That's impossible! How can they have the plague? That's impossible! That's not true!" She shook her head.

"But, Mom…" Gao Mingkun wanted to say something, but the old lady cut him off.

"No one is allowed to talk about it! And you!" She glared at Gao Mingkun. "Don't tell Mingjiang anything after we find him!"

Gao Mingkun said, "Mom, if that's the case, we won't be able to find Brother Mingjiang."

"You!" Old Mrs. Gao hit him with her stick.

But Gao Mingkun remained unperturbed. "Mother, if that's the case, I won't take you to him."

The old lady knew that if Gao Mingkun didn't show them the way, they would never be able to find Gao Mingjiang.

"Are you going to watch your brothers die?!" The old lady was so angry that she was almost in tears.

Gao Mingkun looked from the sorry state of the Gao family to the old lady without saying a word.

The old lady told Gao Mingkun to lead the way, but he shook his head and refused.

The old lady was furious.

The eldest son glared at Gao Mingkun. "We don't have to go, but you need to talk to Mingjiang. If he agrees to take us in, I'll listen to him for the rest of my life."

The other two sons also looked solemnly at Gao Mingkun, indicating that they would do the same.

Gao Mingkun frowned. "It's very likely that we've been infected. If we get in touch with Brother Mingjiang now, we may infect him and his family. So, I'm not going."

Old Mrs. Gao had no choice but to compromise. "Go ask him on your own. If he wants to come, that's all the better. If he doesn't want to come, we'll leave him to his fate!"

Gao Mingkun looked at the others. There was hope, sadness, and regret in their eyes.

Right now, they were probably all regretting parting with Gao Mingjiang's family.

If they didn't go through this, they would never repent.

At that thought, Gao Mingkun rose to its feet. "Alright. I'll go find my brother. You guys wait for us in the valley. As for these two people, set them on fire before…"

It was very likely that they had contracted the plague.

The eldest son nodded. "Off you go. We'll do it."

Gao Mingkun quickly left.

Old Mrs. Gao looked at her eldest son, dropping hints.

Boss Gao smiled bitterly. "Mum, it won't make any difference even if we follow Mingkun. If Mingjiang really doesn't want to come, what can we do?"

Old Mrs. Gao burst into tears and was filled with despair.

As a matter of fact, she knew better than anyone else that those two people had to have the plague. When she was little, there was a plague in the village once, and more than 70% of the population died…

"Why are we so unlucky…" Old Mrs. Gao burst into tears.

The third daughter-in-law said, "If we hadn't chased them away, we wouldn't have been reduced to this state."

The second daughter-in-law said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have tried to take advantage of them. I thought we were all family, so what if he lost a little? He was forced to leave. It's all my fault…"
