"Alas, mother, don't panic! Take deep breaths!" Zhang Shanni saw that her mother-in-law looked like she was about to pass out from anger, hurriedly shouted loudly, anxiously calling out: "Mother, don't panic, I'm here!"
It's not that Zhou Xiuhua's reaction was too great. After all, it concerned her own son. Moreover, with Shanni's earlier reminder, San'er hadn't had any news for half a month! For a woman in her fifties or sixties, it was all too easy to get confused and start imagining things. Also, with Xie Jingchen's occupation being a military officer, her first thought was that he had gone off to war!
Zhou Xiuhua's reaction was truly frightening, and Zhang Shanni herself was quite alarmed by her mother-in-law's chain of reactions. After all, the person in trouble was her dearly beloved third son. It was understandable for the old lady to react so violently.
