After Alex went to Wanmu Dangxili Village to pick up Mia and left for a foreign country, the stern expression on Shen's mother's face disappeared and was replaced by a gloomy expression. Father Shen never expected that his son would do such a thing, steal a hundred silver dollars from home, and sweep away all the copper coins in the counter drawer. He picked up the letter left by his son and read it once, then sighed and said:
"An unfilial son."
More than ten days later, when a familiar customer came to pick up clothes, he asked Alex and Mia if there was any news out of concern. Mother Shen shook her head expressionlessly, while Father Shen was stunned. After the customer left, Father Shen frowned and asked, how did he know about Alex and Mia? Mother Shen said:
"Paper cannot contain fire."
A year later, there is still no news from Alex and Mia. The Shen family's darning business is also declining. The shop, which was not busy at first, is now deserted with only two slow-moving old people. Because they often cannot deliver goods on time, the door-to-door customers There were less than one customer a day, and later we often didn't see a customer for several days. After the two old men took off the door in the morning, they sat there until evening and then closed the door.
