"When I go back, I'll bring my mom to see you."
Yi Chichi nodded and agreed. What followed was simple: settle the final payment and bid farewell.
Seeing them come out, Wen's mother enthusiastically invited them to stay for a meal, but Yu Ritang declined with a smile, "Auntie, my aunt has already prepared food."
The implication was that they were going to her aunt's house to eat.
There was no reason to insist, especially since the meal was already prepared.
"Then come over and have fun next time."
"Sure, Auntie."
The two sisters laughed and agreed, then bid farewell to Yi Chichi as well as Qin Jiu, who had just returned with rabbit meat and chicken soup, and left happily.
After sending them off, Wen's mother poured a bowl of chicken soup and handed it over, "Hurry, drink while it's hot."
Yi Chichi, "...Thank you, Mom."
The family raised six chickens: two were hens from last year, and four were newly brought in this spring.
