Soon, Liu Ergou had returned home. By the time he arrived, Xu Yulan had already prepared the meal.
During dinner, Xu Yulan asked curiously, "Er Gou, what did Wu Guifang want with you? I remember she used to look down on you more than anyone."
"Why would she suddenly come to see you? Something seems fishy."
Hearing his sister-in-law's words, Liu Ergou's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly composed himself.
"It's like this, Sister-in-law," he explained. "Wu Guifang came about the wasteland. She has a niece who wants me to partner with her to grow corn instead of herbs. So, she sent Wu Guifang to try and persuade me. That's pretty much it."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yulan finally understood. "Oh, so that's what it was! I was wondering why she'd come looking for you out of the blue. It was about this!"
