This wouldn't have been a big deal if it wasn't mentioned, but once it was, Wen's mother wanted to explode again.
However, the person in question wasn't present, and in front of her were her son and daughter-in-law. She had no reason to vent her anger on them over an unrelated person.
That's not something a mother should do.
So, she took a deep breath to keep herself calm, then recounted the events once more.
The matter wasn't complicated. In short, she went to find Ji Jian to learn how to dry abalone, only to discover that Ji Jian didn't know either, and his reasoning was quite legitimate.
Usually, they don't collect a lot of abalone, and the occasions are few, just enough for one meal, so there's no need to dry them.
Naturally, he wouldn't know.
However, today they picked too many. Those they kept for themselves couldn't be finished quickly, and selling them wouldn't fetch much money.
