Over time, a peculiar tradition developed in the town. Whenever a child misbehaved, people would point towards the home of Yuan Yuan and frighten the child with a cautionary tale. “See there? Do you hear the crying? That little one was locked up by his mother for being naughty. If you continue to misbehave, I’ll do the same to you.” This threat was usually enough to keep the children in line for a while.

Mrs. Wang, Yuan Yuan’s mother, typically returned home late at night. Before leaving, she would prepare a large bowl of noodles or a few buns for her son, leaving them on the table for him to eat when he was hungry. Thus, the child spent his days locked inside the house.

Aunt Yang, the boy’s grandmother, was heartbroken. She recalled how she had once praised her grandson for being so independent, able to clean himself and wash his face. She now realized that these skills were born out of necessity, a result of his harsh living conditions.

Aunt Yang confronted Mrs. Wang about her treatment of the child, only to be met with a sharp retort. Mrs. Wang quickly turned the tables, telling Aunt Yang’s son, Yang Tao, that she had asked his mother to help care for the child, but she had refused, leaving Mrs. Wang with no choice but to lock the boy in the house.

Without discerning the truth, Yang Tao berated his mother the following day. Aunt Yang was left speechless, unsure of how to defend herself against such blatant false accusations.

Unable to bear the sight of her grandson’s suffering, Aunt Yang took it upon herself to care for the boy. To prevent him from being locked in the house, she walked from the village to the town every morning and back again each evening.

Initially, her role was to look after the child, but it soon evolved into serving the couple. From laundry and cooking to running errands and childcare, Aunt Yang took on all the household chores.

This routine continued for half a year until Yang Tao had to leave for work in a distant place, and the family moved back to the village.

However, the shadow of Yuan Yuan’s past could not be erased. He remained sensitive and irritable in confined spaces, often breaking down into tears when left alone.

Aunt Yang longed to help her grandson overcome his trauma but was at a loss for how to do so.
