Jiang Xue noticed that the elders and children were not at home, so she returned to the study to read. More than a week had passed since school started, but she had been busy with company matters and hadn't looked at the school-issued books.
Now that she finally had time, she could take a good look at them.
Jiang Xue read quickly, and within an hour, she finished most of the book and memorized all of it.
As the appointed time approached, Jiang Xue put the book down and went downstairs.
No sooner had she gone down than the doorbell rang. Niu went to open the door and led two men inside.
One man appeared to be in his twenties. The other looked to be about thirty-five.
As soon as the two men saw Jiang Xue, they called her "sister-in-law" and introduced themselves. The younger one was named Huo Cong, and the older one was Zhang Liang.
