Yu Lan's mother's surname was Li, and nobody in the village knew her given name. Villagers typically addressed married women by their husband's name or their children's names. For example, Zhu Aiqing was usually called Man Yin's wife or Donghua's mom by the villagers. Only her natal family or close sisters would call her by her name, Ai Qing. Yu Lan's father was Gao Shaoyue, so Yu Lan's mother was addressed either as Shaoyue's wife or Yu Lan's mom.
Granny Zhao hurriedly ran to the Gao Family's yard without entering and shouted loudly inside, "Yu Lan's mom, come out quickly, there's an emergency."
Mrs. Gao was sewing shoe soles inside the house when she heard the shouting. She quickly put down her work and ran out, puzzled to see Sister-in-law Tian, who rarely went door-to-door. Weren't Yu Lan and Shouwang at her place? Why was she here calling for someone now?
"Yu Lan's mom, come to my place quickly. Your Yu Lan has suffered a miscarriage scare and is lying down at my house."
