Though they returned, the few people who went up the mountain were still worried. Even though they guessed that there wouldn't be any major problems, they couldn't help worrying when the people hadn't returned.
Even Liu Hongcai forgot the other matter he had with the Jiang family and waited with his father in the courtyard.
As they waited, it got dark, and the aroma of food wafted out, but the people still hadn't returned.
At this point, Second Mother couldn't sit still either. She asked Aunt Yang to watch over the kitchen and hurried out herself.
"Why is it so late and they still haven't returned? Could something have happened?"
Second Mother stood on the ridge outside the courtyard, gazing into the distance. Based on past experience, there shouldn't be any problems, but since they hadn't returned yet, she couldn't help worrying.
The most at ease was probably Wei Ziang.
