Compared to Director Zhu's single-minded focus on revenge, Sister Cai has already thought of a fallback if the plan fails. She has heard that Gu Nuan's parents, unlike Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, are known for being very personable and are well-respected in the county.
Sister Cai plans to bring some gifts directly to Gu Nuan's parents and lament her hardships as a woman, claiming she has been manipulated. She hopes to garner their sympathy and that they will speak on her behalf to Gu Nuan for leniency.
Sister Cai couldn't perform this bribery while Gu Nuan's parents were at the Gu Family's old home.
On the afternoon of the second day of the month, Mr. Gu kept his previous promise and took Mrs. Gu with the excuse to return to their home in the county.
Sister Cai seized the opportunity, first driving to the county, locating Mr. and Mrs. Gu's home, and waiting nearby to figure out what kind of gifts they might like.
