"Thank you for making this trip. When we return to the Meng family, there will certainly be a generous reward."
Eldest Granny Meng had changed completely by the time she emerged.
When she was abducted, she didn't have time to tidy her clothing. Upon arriving at this village, Hu Ma hadn't paid much attention to such details either. It was only after being confined for two days that she requested Li to bring her some clothes.
Li, though finding it troublesome, still fetched a cotton jacket his grandma wore and a pair of winter pants for her from the village. After all, it was cold in the mountains, and he feared she might catch a cold.
However, Eldest Granny Meng clearly wasn't too keen on wearing them. She had torn the cotton padding out of the jacket, leaving only a single layer of fabric, which she washed twice before putting it on. During the brief period she was inside, she had already changed back into her own clothes, her hair neatly combed and secured with a wooden hairpin.
