it’s quite frightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go and find out what’s really going on, will you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Lao’er was deep in sleep, lost in a foggy dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Huang Xiangwen’s mumbling, he waved his hand as if shooing away a fly and mumbled, “Only your head is full of troubles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go figure it out yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, I’m talking serious here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something’s off with mom.” Huang Xiangwen raised her voice and yelled into Gu Lao’er’s ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled by her yell, Gu Lao’er jolted awake instantly and sat up straight, all traces of sleepiness gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his beautiful dream interrupted, Gu Lao’er’s face showed anger as he shouted at Huang Xiangwen, “What’s with you, woman, making noise in the middle of the night?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you have to wake up the whole family to be satisfied?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Xiangwen glanced outside and quickly shrank her neck, not wanting to stir up everyone in the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mom was already not herself; she didn’t want to add fuel to the fire now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, she retorted without admitting defeat, “And what’s with you yelling so loudly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Talk if there’s something to talk about;
